Chapter 263: FINALLY FOUND
A single teardrop fell from Erika’s eyes but she quickly wiped it off.
"That’s my son! One of you people should go and keep my son safe until I find exactly the people that have attacked us," Adrian ordered, trying to stand up.
Erika glanced at Mary and Juliet but none of them made any attempt to go to the room and she didn’t want to do it herself. That child had nothing to do with her but if she doesn’t, then those mother and daughter duo might just continue to look at her without making any move.
"Let me get the baby," she said, and without waiting for their reply, she went inside the room and carried Jake outside and his tears filled the living room.
Adrian attempted to carry his son but remembered that he had a paralyzed hand so he restricted and called Juliet. "Carry him for him," he ordered.
Erika glanced at Juliet and Mary before her eyes settled on the gun that was on the ground which Mary had dropped earlier when she realized that she had just committed another murder.
Instead of Juliet walking towards her, Erika walked towards Juliet with Jake in her hands and Juliet reached out to take him from her. As soon as Jake was out of her arms, Erika quickly squatted and took the gun before any of them could predict her moves.
Erika grabbed the gun and attempted shooting Mary first but Adrain’s men arrived. Without wasting a second, Erika immediately bolted from there with the gun in her hand. ’I will come back for your body Iza,’ she promised internally as she tried to get as far away as possible from the living room, rushing to where she wasn’t familiar due to the rush of the adrenaline in her.
"What are you waiting for?! Go after her!!" She heard Adrain’s frustrated voice from behind her.
Erika continued to run away as tears flowed out of her eyes. Her dress was already stained with Iza’s blood when she’d hugged the girl right before she died and she tried to forget that bloody scene because it seemed that it would hunt her for the rest of her life.
’This is the best time for me to escape from this place and if I’m not able to, I will just kill myself,’ she promised herself.
As she continued to run, she bumped into a very strong well-built chest. Her heart immediately skipped a beat when she recognized the familiar scent and it immediately calmed her down. This was the same scent that she had been craving for the past three weeks. She didn’t need to raise her head to know the person who owned the strong chest that she had bumped into. Instead, she wrapped her hands around the body of the huge body and hugged it as tightly as her tiny hands could.
Feeling the comforting large hands of the man that she truly loved wrapped itself around her waist, more tears flowed down her cheeks, staining his shirt but that wasn’t the important thing at the moment.
She was in the arms of Ethan and that was the only important thing. She was finally rescued, Erika screamed in her head.
"I’m sorry that I’m late," she heard him apologize. His voice seemed like the missing sound that her ears had been itching to hear and now, she had finally heard it and there was nothing more she wanted.
Erika shook her head on his chest but didn’t utter anything. If possible this was a dream, then she wouldn’t like to wake up from it. She would rather die in this dream than wake up to the reality where she was still kidnapped by Adrain.
Suddenly, she heard three gunshots, and immediately, her body flinched due to the piercing sound because she heard it up close this time.
Raising her head, she looked at Ethan and saw him glaring at someone from behind her. Turning around, she found three of Adrian’s men who lay cold on the ground.
’Ethan just killed them,’ she thought to herself. For a moment, she thought that he was the one who was being shot.
Releasing a sigh of relief, she looked back at Ethan who was already staring at her and before she could say anything, Ethan had already leaned in to capture her lips into a kiss and she gladly obliged and kissed him back.
Ethan started by slowly sucking her soft lips. The lips that he had missed kissing and he was restraining himself from devouring her. When he heard her moan on his lips, he quickly slipped his tongue inside her mouth and tried to suck her soul.
Erika had been worried earlier that Ethan might have indeed lost his memories about her but now that she was being kissed by him, even in the middle of this attack, the sound of the echoing gunshots acting as their background music, she didn’t dare to think such again and left herself be kissed by him. He had already drowned her with his kisses and she didn’t mind if the both of them died there since they had already lost their guard in case any of Adrian’s men would attack them.
Ethan growled as he grabbed Erika by the head and deepened the kiss even further this time, making her lose her breath immediately due to that action.
Softly, she patted him on the back and tried to get him to give her the chance to breathe but he wouldn’t let her. Erika had to pat him a little harder on the back to hear her complaints. Ethan sucked her lips one last time and finally released her, permitting her to feed as much oxygen as she wanted.
"I missed you so much," Erika managed to say as she tried to calm down her breathing which Ethan was doing also. "I thought I wouldn’t see you again...."
"Shush," Ethan interrupted her by placing his index finger on her swollen lips. "Don’t ever think like that because no matter where you are, I will make sure that I find you."
