Chapter 160 - Did You Miss Me?
"In your dreams, She was my fiancee and you took her away from me!" Shawn sneered and proceeded to free his hand from his grip.
Adrik's eyes switched from green to golden and back to green, showing just how much he was trying to control himself from ripping this man apart. He took a deep breath and freed Leia's hand, then pulled her to his side. "Stay away from my wife." He threatened in a deadly tone, but Shawn, however, laughed mockingly at him and pulled Leia to his side. "Why would she ever want to be with you? A scarred, cruel, despicable man like yourself is not worthy of her. She deserved better, but you ruined her life. You ruined the dream we had and shattered her. Now you dared to call her your wife."
"Let me ask you a question. How will you feel if you return only to find that another man has taken your woman away from you with the use of money? Let me tell you this: you don't love her or anything because she's only a piece of jewelry that you can buy and toss away however you want. But I will let you know today that even though you may have bought her, I won't allow you to toss her away. I will take her with me today. I will take what rightfully was mine from the beginning." He scoffed and pulled Leia along with him, ready to leave. However, Adrik, whose eyes were completely golden at that point, roughly grabbed Leia by the hand and yanked her along with him to leave.
Shawn's face darkened, and he proceeded to snatch Leia back, but a hot, traumatizing slap from Adrik sent him flying backward and crashing heavily into the wall. He fell onto the chairs and table and broke them before landing on the cold floor with a bleeding nose, swollen cheek, and a bleeding head.
Everyone in the room gasped, and Leia's heart jumped to her throat. "Adrik!!" She glared at him and snatched her hand from his, then rushed towards Shawn, who was already unconscious. She fell on her knees and pulled him into her arms. "I am so sorry Shawn! I'm so sorry." She caressed his cheek and grabbed her phone from her pocket. She immediately dialed 112, and it didn't take long for the ambulance to arrive.
The paramedics hurriedly proceeded to check Shawn's condition, and their faces couldn't help but alter into frowns. "The patient is in critical condition!" They gave him oxygen and then administered pain relief. Carefully, they hauled him to the ambulance and cautiously laid him on the bed. They began ECG monitoring on him and proceeded to get him to the hospital and transfer him there.
Leia hurriedly stood up and rushed past Adrik to the van. She stepped in, and gently took Shawn's hand, then began to rub it. "You'll be fine. You will be fine." Tears welled up in her eyes and they fell the moment they came. The driver turned the engine on and, without delay, they drove off.
Adrik, who was still at the restaurant, had his eyes flutter and his heart ached so painfully within him. His body trembled uncontrollably, and without any thought, he turned around and dashed off at an extraordinary speed, ignoring everyone.
He ran at such great speed that when he ran past the ambulance, Leia noticed his presence. She abruptly clutched her chest when she felt so much pain, and tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes. "Adrik..." Another tear rolled down her cheeks as she whispered his name.
Adrik ran unstoppable and, because of the force from the air, the band that tied up his hair broke, causing his hair to fall. It danced with the wind, and on reaching his destination, which was the forest, he ran in and continued to run at a rapid pace. Arriving at a barrier that was protecting an area or a kingdom, he rushed in, smoothly passing through it. As though the people and the land itself felt his presence, they all bowed deeply and the wind blew vigorously around the entire place.
He ignored all this and continued to run, unstoppable. He only stopped when he arrived at the edge of a cliff that was so familiar to him, and a deep groan erupted from his throat. His heart trembled within him, and he shut his eyes, then balled his fist. "Why?" He asked in a quivering voice, waiting for an answer, but none came. "I am asking you why?! What exactly did I do wrong? Why am I being hurt this way?! Why are yo-?"
A furious wind suddenly blew around him, causing the leaves to rise into midair and a heavenly, absorbing voice resounded. "You know, she will never give you an answer. Right." Mocking laughter followed afterward, and his face darkened.
"Lucifer!" His deep, cold voice spoke the name, and the person began to laugh softly. The wind died down and the person revealed himself. His hair was silver-colored and his sword-shaped eyes were neither pitch-black nor red but silver-colored just like his hair. His lips were pristine red and his pale, delicate skin looked as though it could burn if he stayed out much longer in the sun. He was draped in a blue robe that reached the ground, covering his bare feet. One could say that he was beyond beautiful. Even characterizing him with the word "beautiful" would be an insult to him, because it was not enough to describe just how gorgeous he was.
"Did you miss me?" A grin crept into his slim lips, and he stared intently at Adrik, twirling a piece of leave in between his delicate, slender fingers.
"What the fuck do you want? And why are you here? I have told you to stop crossing that barrier however you want and when you like." Adrik's darkened face deepened, and his golden eye viciously glared at him.
"Hahaha..." Lucifer shook his head in mockery and snapped his finger, causing a sofa to poof out of nowhere.. He majestically sat down, then allowed a grin to creep up his lips again.
