Chapter 311: WANT TO TRAVEL?
In the middle of the night, on the rooftop of a building, a man brought out a cigarette, lit it and brought it closer to his lips, then he took a large puff of it to calm himself.
Looking up at the sky, the man sighed as a single tear fell from his eyes. "What is wrong with me?" The man asked himself. "Why did you have to come and take over my head like this, Emma?"
Viper took another puff of the cigarette and stared down at the people below who looked like ants from up there. "I don’t want to turn stupid like Adrain and do this but Erika can’t seem to get out of my head at the moment. I want to have her for myself. I know how foolish that might seem but I don’t care anymore." He spoke as if there was someone there to listen to him but unfortunately, he was the only one there.
Having given up on speaking to himself like a madman, Viper threw the cigarette away and stood up from where he was sitting earlier. "I need to go see her."

Viper packed his car outside of the building where Ethan and Erika lived. It might have been an estate with strict security, Viper had to buy a house just to enter.
From his car, he saw another car come out of nowhere and packed right in front of the house. But the car didn’t come out of nowhere, he was just too focused on hoping to see Erika come out for a bit.
Ethan stepped down from the car and immediately, Erika stepped out of the house and rushed to hug him. Ethan lifted Erika in the air and gasped in surprise.
"Put me down, Ethan," She said in between her giggles.
"Alright your Highness," Ethan did as she asked him to do and put her down slowly.
"You look happy today."
"Of course, I should be. I mean, I get to go to work happily and also get to come back and see my girlfriend waiting for me with our baby," he replied, cupping her cheeks and bending to capture her lips in a slow, passionate, longing kiss. "I also missed those lips." He whispered on her lips before capturing them again.
Unbeknownst to them Viper glared at their intimate make-out session. His hands held the steering so tightly that he didn’t care if it would break.
"That’s my Erika you are kissing like that," he growled in anger. He suddenly had the urge to go over there and shoot Ethan to death but he calmed himself down before he did something that he might regret later on.
Ethan released Erika and placed his hands on her tummy, caressing it and that was when Viper noticed a baby bump.
The anger he thought he had been able to pacify within himself arose again. Erika was pregnant already and he didn’t want her to be one bit. "This can’t be happening." He mumbled under his breath.
Suddenly, Ethan turned around and Viper panicked and wished he could disappear at that moment.
"What’s wrong?" Erika asked him when she noticed he was staring at something but his eyes darted around, not sure where it should land.
"I don’t know why but I have a feeling that someone is looking at us right now." His gaze intensified as he kept staring around hoping to see someone.
Erika stared at the cars that were parked and couldn’t help but feel worried now. If it had been before, then she would have simply waved it off saying that he was thinking too much. But since that had Adrian on the loose, she didn’t want to risk anything.
"Do you think it’s Adrain?" she asked him and as soon as those words left her lips, she immediately regretted it. Adrain couldn’t get inside the estate since Ethan had given the security men his photo and had instructed strictly to never let him inside the estate and if they saw him, the soul held him captive. "who do think it might be?" she rephrased her question.
"I’m not sure," Ethan replied.
In the car, Viper calmed his panicking state when he realized the car he was in was heavily tinted and Ethan couldn’t see past it.
"let us just go inside," Erika tried to pull Ethan into the house but he was too strong for her to pull from his spot. Erika was worried that a fight might break loose and Ethan wouldn’t be able to keep up because of his health condition he always seemed to forget that he had a bullet in his head. "Ethan," she called him when he didn’t pay any attention to her. Erika pulled Ethan again. "Let’s go inside." She urged him.
Ethan looked around the place again and agreed to do as Erika said. It was evident from her voice that she was worried and he didn’t want to worry her anymore by playing stubborn.
Together, they walked inside the house and Viper glared at them as they did so.
Adrian had texted him the previous day saying that Erika was pregnant and he didn’t believe him one bit but now that he’s seeing it himself, he didn’t know what to do anymore.
Inside the house, Erika asked Ethan. "Who do you think was the one that was spying on us earlier?" She asked him.
She knew how true Ethan’s instincts were which was why she didn’t ask him if he saw someone or if he was sure he saw someone. Either way, he didn’t see anyone but felt, and that alone was enough to prove that someone was indeed outside looking at them.
"I’m not sure either but it wasn’t Adrian," Ethan replied. He hugged Erika behind and whispered into her ears. "Don’t worry about anything okay? Maybe I felt wrong."
"That’s impossible," Erika whispered back. "I just hope that nothing bad is going to happen to us."
"Do you want to travel abroad and give birth there?" Ethan suddenly asked her and abruptly, she turned to face him to be sure he wasn’t joking and from his solemn expression, he wasn’t joking one bit.
