Chapter four: no escape

Why would Theo give up his share of his company to the lady that is carrying his child? 

The deal is too good to be real, as much as his twin brother acts dumb and stupid one thing he doesn't joke with is his money and that is the only thing they have in common.

Eric couldn't place his hands on any reason why his brother is acting this strange, regardless it is business that  they are talking about and it doesn't matter who the money or deal is coming from. All he wants is to own the whole empire which is about to happen.

Eric shaked off all his thoughts, took his briefcase and left the office, followed by his bodyguards.

The car was already parked outside waiting for him, he got in and it sped off immediately.

Heading back to his mansion where he no longer has peace ever since Eva came to the picture.

Eric didn't want to admit that he regrets taking in Eva as one of his hostage, if he had known that things would turn out this way he won't have bothered keeping her at first, nevertheless he’s intention is to keep having fun with her before killing her because there is no way in hell his allowing her birth that child.

Few minutes into the drive Eric could sense the smell of rain, he was forced to whine down his window to get a better view and take in the fresh air that comes with it.

Then a sudden flash of memory rushed down his head.

Just a few days after he had held Eva as his hostage,that fateful day was their mother's death memorial.

It was raining heavily as he stood in front of his mother's grave crying out his eyes while drinking away his soul.

Ever since the death of their mother he has always carried the guilt and blamed himself for the way things happened.

It was right in front of him, his mother was beaten to death by the loan shakers and there was nothing he could do.

He watched his mom bleed to death with so much fear and regret in her eyes, which made him swear to carry that guilt to his grave.

After spending hours beside his mother he went back home drunk and it was so unfortunate that he found Eva trying to sneak out of the mansion.

“ Where the hell do you think you are going” Eric could remember the exact thing he had said to Eva which startled her as she turned looking at him with so much fear in her eyes.

Eric drives so much joy and fun in people's fear and it was just as if the universe was in his favor because seeing Eva staring at him like a puppy about to be killed intoxicated him the most. 

He could sense her fear, her trembling hands, shaky mouths all Eric needed at that moment.

“ Actually that question is reohtically, I don't expect you to answer them because it is obvious that you are trying to escape just like every other stupid hostage” Eric had said, taking a few steps forward to Lucy while she was going backward in fear trying to avoid Eric from coming any closer.

“Are you that dimwitted to realize that there's no escape in here until my money is paid in full?” Eric yelled at Lucy whose watering eyes had begun to drop bit by bit.

Eric smirked evilly at Lucy, he was enjoying every single bit of the feelings he was getting, however he wanted more, something more aggressive to pour out his frustration on and this woman right in front of him was just the perfect person for it.

Eric quickly covered the space between him and Lucy before she could even start begging for her life Eric pulled her by her hair and gave her a slap that landed Eva on the floor.

He kept on beating and kicking her until her blood was spilled in every corner of the house entrance.

The more Lucy begged for her life the more Eric got the urge to be more aggressive with her and there was absolutely nobody that could save Eva from Eric's punishment.

When Eric noticed that Eva was tired of begging and pleading for her life but wasn't still satisfied with the torture just right then a despicable idea can to his mind and it was to r**p her which he did without thinking twice.

He loved the feeling that she was not resisting him, she was not struggling to break free; it was more like she had surrendered to him completely while he had his way with her the way he wanted.

Eric was startled back to reality by the thunderstorm of the rain.

That was when he noticed that the car was no longer moving.

“Why the stop?” He asked coldly as usual, directing the question to his driver, who looked surprised by his fiscal expression because he was sure he had said the reason why they had stopped.

“The thunderstorm is heavy and the forecast advises that every movement should halt till it calms,” his driver explained again.

Eric just nodded.

He really had to go and rest because he had a long day with the whole Eva's pregnancy drama and that from his twin brother’s insanity as well, but that seems not to be happening anytime soon.

He didn't want to go back to remembering what happened that night, inasmuch as he doesn't feel any kind of remorse or regret about that night. It still wasn't a very pleasant one to remember at the moment so he tried to think about anything else that was not about that night. 

So he managed to keep his mind blank and wait for the storm to calm down so they could continue heading back to his mansion.

After waiting for what seems like forever, the storm finally stopped and they continued the drive, it didn't take long to get to the mansion.

The driver pulled up to the house entrance for Eric to get down and just as he stepped out of the car and opened the entrance door to get into the house, he saw someone who he wished he had no business with anymore standing right in front of him more like he was waiting for him to return.

Elijah!.
