The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 70 - Erick Threat

Davira let out a laugh as Nathan ran with him who was still in the man's arms.

Davira hugged Nathan by the neck, and the man ran until half of their bodies drowned in the water. Davira chuckled feeling the sweep of the waves on his skin.

The girl immediately came down from Nathan's shoulders then stood before the man.

"Why look at me like that?" nathan asked as he pulled Davira's waist closer to him.

Davira rubbed his jaw slowly, firmly Nathan as he continued to look closely at the man's netra.

"You kept your promise, the sunset was beautiful, Nathan," Davira said, making Nathan smile.

"You're the beautiful one" Nathan pulled Davira's nape closer to his face, making their lips meet again.

Davira recoiled his arms around Nathan's neck and wrapped his legs around the man's waist as his body lifted up so easily.

Nathan melu*mat lips Davira that feels so sweet, the hand of the girl moves rubbing the jaws of Nathan, making Nathan deepen their kiss.

"I love you, Davira," Nathan said on the sidelines of their kiss.

Davira chuckles little, "I know."

Nathan let go of their lips, smilingly looking at Davira's face right in front of his eyes.

"I'm happy to see your smile, you rarely smile like this" Davira rubbed Nathan's head with eyes that could not be separated from the man.

"You make me smile, never leave me again, Davira."

"How could I leave you again? I will never leave you, Nathan," Davira hugs Nathan's neck while rubbing the back of the man's head.

Nathan hugged Davira tightly, occasionally peeling the shoulders of the woman he loved so much.

Nathan hugged Davira's body, the woman leaning comfortably against the chest of her field. Tomorrow he will leave the woman and return to Rome to speak directly with his father, hoping Julian will give him a chance to find evidence of his grandmother's death.

"Nathan, can't I really go to Rome?" davira asked as she played with her fingers on Nathan's bare chest.

"We've talked about that before, Davira. You'll stay here, you'll be safe."

"I'd rather be in danger with you" Davira said, giving Nathan a chuckle.

Nathan kissed Davira on the forehead, "I'll be back as soon as I can, I'll be happier if you're never in danger."

Davira let out a long sigh, for some reason she felt worried and felt heavy left behind by Nathan. Davira is scared, she doesn't want anything bad to happen to Nathan.

"You better tell me, what fun things do you do when you work with Jakob?"

Davira let out a small laugh, "What do you want to hear? About me being a drug bodyguard in a car with no guards and fighting with amateur robbers?"

"It's nice, it's natural you're at home and it's so hard parting with them" Nathan briefly kissed Davira's lips.

"Indeed, a very free life, without fear, without thinking of death."

"You like that kind of life?"

Davira nodded her head slowly and smiled as she rubbed the necklace she always wore.

"I love that kind of life, not hiding mistakes, just running from the police for making mistakes. Not running because of something uncertain, living without rules or burdens."

"I didn't think you'd tell me that, Erick."

"Am I wrong, Emma? I'm just asking for a reward, you think I'll keep helping you? You know the problem I have to solve is not easy, I have to put my own life at risk. And I wouldn't do that to just a woman who doesn't have anything to do with me."

"What do you mean Erick? How long have we been friends? Is that not a relationship?"

Erick chuckled little, "Friendship is bullshit, I never thought of you as my best friend. From the very beginning you knew it, you kept me by your side for friendship just so you wouldn't lose a man who'd been protecting you all this time, keeping your guard up and fixing your problems."

"You misjudged me, Erick. I really think of you as my best friend, if you love me, it's your fault. I've never been too much of you."

"I've never been wrong in judging someone, Emma," Erick let out a long sigh then smiled looking at Emma's face that looked so tense.

"Just look at Emma, don't be confused. I think what I said to you on the phone was pretty obvious. I'm gonna go find that guy, get rid of all the remaining evidence, and clean up the mess you created. But it's not free, I want you to be mine. No more Nathan, just me. You need to stop loving Nathan if you want your life to be quiet, Emma. Don't waste your perfect life just for him."

Emma squeezed the strong end of the dress she was wearing.

"I'll never be yours, you know I love Nathan so much that it feels like I'm going crazy! I can't just let Nathan go, I have to get Nathan! If you don't want to help me, then I can ask my father for help, I'm sure he can sort this out, even faster than you."

Erick laughed and Emma frowned at him.

"Nothing funny Erick!" smashed Emma began to run out of patience.

"You won't ask your father for help."

"I will, why not?"

Erick's laughter subsided, he looked at Emma with a hardened face.

"Because I'm going to get the guy and all the evidence about what you did before your father got it, then I'm going to hand it over to them."

Braaks.

Emma immediately kicked the table, "Don't mess with me Erick! You can't threaten me like this! You'll never leave that evidence to them!"

"I can Emma! You don't think I can do it!" erick's voice sounded high, making Emma look at him worriedly.

"You can do that to me?"

"Why not, Emma? I've given you a choice, so think carefully before it's too late. I'm giving you twenty-four hours to think, with me or everything is uncovered. You just need to be mine, forget all about Nathan and stop seeing him. We're gonna disappear like proof of that."

Emma was stunned to hear every word that came out of Erick's mouth, she stared at Erick's face with eyes that started to turn red.

"I hate you, Erick," hissed Emma immediately stood up from her seat.

Seeing Emma who was intending to leave him made Erick immediately hold the woman's arm.

"Take me off!" Emma tried to pull his arm, but Erick's stranglehold was so strong.

"I'm not messing with my words, Emma. I'm looking for that guy and all the evidence that's left, I've obviously gone a long way from your father to this matter. So I'm the only one who can help you, think about the rewards I ask for."

"I thought you loved me all this time, Erick. But it turns out I was wrong, you could even do this to me."

"What do you mean Emma? Obviously I love you, like Nathan loved Davira, and like your love for Nathan, we are all the same. The three of us did everything we could to get our loved ones" Erick said, then removed the cheque from Emma's arm.

Erick rubbed the woman's cheek then smiled slightly at the anger that was seen from Emma's eye gaze, all this time he had never gotten such a look from Emma.

"See you tomorrow night, Emma. I'll wait for your decision" Erick turned around and then stepped onto the balcony.

Emma stared at Erick's back away with a tightly clenched hand. Emma gets out of Erick's apartment, her feelings are totally fucked up. His brain is dead, he doesn't know what to do. All this time he had always depended on Erick and entrusted all his problems to the man.

But now Erick gets him cornered, pushes him to the brink and leaves him with only two options: to welcome Erick's hand and be forever held by the man, or fall into the abyss at the risk of death just to get to Nathan.

But Emma can't just let go of Nathan, she can't be with Erick. Emma doesn't love Erick, all she wants is Nathan. From then until now, nothing has changed. Only the feeling of wanting to have it grew stronger.
