Chapter 174: She is her (2)
"Wait!" Ethan said as he ran with his full speed behind Eliana who was moving as fast as lightning, out of the Villa.
Despite the continuous calls of Ethan, Eliana did not stop, and rather she did not bother to slow down until she reached the car.
It was lucky that Ethan was able to get into the car at the right time, or she would have left him and went away.
Gasping for air, Ethan finally managed to relax, but it looked like his relaxing time wasn't much, as Eliana started to drive the car at the full speed.
Seeing the speed of the car increasing in its speedometer, Ethan's heartbeat also increased. All the way from the villa to where they were going, Ethan was clutching to the seatbelt as if it was his last hope to live.
His eyes were fixed on the road in front of him, he could not bring himself to look anywhere else. Apart from this, he did not open put his mouth to say a single word, he felt as if his lips were glued together, during the whole journey.
SCREEEEECH~
A loud sound of the screeching of tires was heard, as Eliana applied breaks suddenly, it had so much force that Ethan almost jumped forward from his seat.
As the car stopped, Ethan let out the breath he was holding for the time, it was as if he had forgotten to breathe. Gasping for air, he finally felt his own heart beating.
After making sure that he and the car are safe and had reached their destination, that was the Song Mansion, Ethan finally looked to his side where Eliana was seated.
Eliana who had stopped put the breaks in a hurry was also taken forward as her head almost bumped into the steering wheel, but thankfully she was not injured, because at the right moment she had activated airbags.
With her head buried in the airbag, Eliana finally came to her senses. It was as if the car that she drove right now was had driven on its own.
She was not in her right mind the moment she got out of the meeting room.
Seeing him, his expressions that were as if he could kill her right away then and there, Eliana felt as if she would break down from his gaze.
She was horrified by his gaze, the eyes which were filled with love and anger at the same time. She was afraid, afraid that he would chase her and that she would not be able to finish for what she had come here.
Lost in her thoughts, she was startled when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Horrified she looked up, which even surprised Ethan.
"It's me! Are you okay?" Ethan asked as he saw Eliana's face, which was clearly sweating, almost as if she had seen a ghost.
Realizing it was only Ethan, Eliana's heartbeat normalized.
Eliana nodded and got out of the car. Getting out of the car, as she breathed the air, she realized that it was all okay. In that meeting room, she felt suffocated. The suffocation of her guilt and the crime she felt she had committed.
Clutching her fists into balls, she walked inside the mansion, with Ethan following her quietly. He knew it was going to happen, but this soon, he never expected.
Where there was some sadness regarding the effect of this incident on Eliana, a part of his heart was relieved, he had full faith in Li Wei.
He knew if Eliana had Li Wei, it could make her return to how she was, cheerful, and happy self.
After the incident, that proved to be a turning point in her life and other as well, she had never been happy, and the reason for this was she could never get that love from anyone.
The love was not how a mother and father love their child, or a brother loves his sister, it was the love that only one person could give her, and the was without a doubt, Li Wei.
But seeing her reaction today, Ethan was a little doubtful about this, will Eliana be able to accept Li Wei and his love again, only time could tell.
After a long, eventful day, Elaina decided to take a hot shower to relieve some stress in her body. She took a white nightgown and entered the bathroom.
In the bathtub, slumped inside it, floating in that water like a lifeless body, as the tears started to come from her tears. After a long soundless weeping, Eliana finally let out her voice.
"Aaaaahhhhh"
She screamed with a low voice, tears flowing from her tears continuously.
After almost an hour, she came out wearing the nightgown, with a towel wrapped around her hair. She made towards her vanity and sat there.
While applying the body lotion, she gazed at her countenance in the mirror silently. Her eyes were red and puffy, obviously due to crying when she laid in the bathtub earlier.
Her wet strands of hair flowed messily down her shoulders. Right now, she totally looked like a fallen angel, reborn in hell.
She bit her lower lip quietly. She had this sudden impulse of dying.
She actually never thought that she would have a reunion with Li Wei under this situation. Destiny surely made a fool out of herself!
He would be hating her so much, right now. The amount of hate was clearly evident in his eyes, back at that time.
Knock.
Knock.
There was a sudden knock on her door. She absentmindedly got up and walked up to the door.
Opening the door, she was greeted with a deep, husky voice.
"Long time no see, baby!"
Panic rose in Elaina's eyes, she gulped hard and looked up at the person's face.
"H-How did you get in here? W-Why are you here?" Eliana shuttered, as she felt that heartbeat had stopped.
Li Wei was standing at her door with a wicked smirk on his face, in his eyes was the same emotion that she saw at the meeting today, it was anger, the urge to take revenge, hate in them. At that time, Eliana couldn't find a trace of love in them.
She unconsciously started taking backward steps.
When she took backward steps, Li Wei started moving towards her. Stepping in, he didn't forget to close the door behind him.
Eliana saw him closing the door, she panicked even more, on her reflex, she ran towards the door, in hope of opening the door, fleeting from here.
But before she could reach the knob of the door, she felt a strong arm on her waist which pushed her backward, making her bump on his wall like chest.
Locking her up with her arms, like a back hug, he whispered, "Did you miss me?" he asked, this time with a suffocate tone.
His warm breath tickled Eliana's neck, which gave her chills down her spine.
Trying hard to get out of his hold, she said, "Leave me, Mr. Aiden! Just what-," as she was saying she was pushed forward by Li Wei.
As if given a chance to flee, she shouted, "Gau-" but was interrupted when Li Wei suddenly reached his right arm, out, and pulled her towards him.
He then pushed her onto the wall, caging her, between him and that wall. Eliana looked at him but was not able to look at that hungry beast-like eyes, filled with lust and also hatred.
So until then, Elaina had kept her head lowered and her mouth shut.
"Hmm?" he grabbed her chin forcefully to turn her face towards his.
Elaina looked again and this time deep into his eyes. She kept both her hands at the back, fidgeting with each other.
"Too bad, I missed you very much." Li Wei said huskily.
Seeing her lack of response, the grip on her chin tightened.
Elaina bit her lower lip in pain.
"But you were long dead, why did you come back?" Li Wei snapped angrily.
Tightening more the chin, he snaked his other arm around her waist. He tightened that arm, squeezing her waist.
Elaina felt excruciating pain on both, her chin and her waist.
Reluctantly some painful words escaped her mouth, "I-I am not the one you are looking for."
Li Wei chuckled suggestively. "Then, where is the one I am looking for?" he asked.
"What did you do to her?" he asked another question.
Not wanting to hear anything from her, he pushed his lips onto hers.
It was not eligible to be called kissing, as he was only biting her lips. Almost to swallow her whole.
Elaina couldn't stand so much mental and physical torture, so she struggled hard.
Seeing her struggling, Li Wei exerted more force. He blocked her hands and kissed her passionately.
Trying to get free from his struggle and that touch of his lips that seemed like poison to her that she wanted, tears starting to make way from her eyes. Her body had started to crave for his touch, but her mind resisted.
The pain only increased as Li Wei tightened his grip.
