Ethan did as he said. He didn't let Erika go until he started to notice her body grow weak. She has exhausted her energy.
"Let me explain. She came here without any notice and tried to convince me to transfer the properties to her name. I didn't want to agree. That was what she was whispering in my ears. She was trying to threaten me by saying she would kill you, Luca, John, and Jake if I didn't do as she said so I was trying to control my anger. I will never cheat on you, Erika. You need to believe me."
Ethan blurted out in one go. The words flew out of his mouth in haste, as if he wasted any more seconds before he explained himself, she would probably explode and leave him to burn to crisp.
He decided to look at her face.
Erika had stopped struggling but that didn't mean that the tears had stopped pouring into her eyes.
The tears simply poured and poured uncontrollably.
