Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
71. Eric's Punishment
Tonight Eryn felt unable to fall asleep. In addition to the debate with his father, he also thought about the punishment Eric will live in the near future. She watched the news on television if her ex-husband was to be sentenced to death.
Although what Eric did was a crime, but Eryn could not deny if Eric helped his life with Noah. What would happen if Noah found out about this?
Eryn turned his body hoping his eyes could be closed. Tomorrow he must begin preparations for the Se-Kang Group celebration party.
His mind again struggles with the relationship between his father and the mysterious Kang Se Hoon. There was no way the man would dare to pay dearly if he had no particular intention.
"It looks like I should ask Hyun Woo. He is father's right hand, surely he knows something about this" Eryn murmured before falling asleep.

In a sturdy and impenetrable walled place, a man was lamenting his fate. More precisely feel a deep regret for what he has done in the past.
It is too late to repeat the time. Now he has to make amends for the mistakes he has made.
"Eryn..."
A name he always muttered in his solitude. But the woman's heart never anchored to him.
"I'm sorry, Eryn.." he muttered again with tears.
"Eric Evans! There's a visitor for you!" The voice of the prison officer makes it back to the real world.
The man who was Eric was walking unsteadily towards the visitor lounge.
"Who else has seen me? I told you I don't want to see anyone!" firmly Eric.
"Every day he comes here. You have to see him before you accept your punishment" the guard said.
Eric saw a familiar figure in his life. The figure immediately sparkled happily when he saw Eric was willing to meet him.
"Why are you coming back for?" eric asked coldly.
"I'm still your wife, Eric," replied Lolita.
"You'll soon be a widow, Lolita."
Lolita's face turned sad, but as much as possible she showed her smile in front of Eric.
"I'll keep you company, Eric."
"Live well after this. Please take care of my mother, and also Elza. You're all I have right now."
Lolita nodded.
"Now go! And don't come when I'm executed. Understood?!"
Lolita got up from her seat and left Eric. He held his chest that felt tight.
"Is this my punishment for betraying my best friend?" inner Lolita.
Her giant footsteps led Lolita to Rose's house. I don't know what he's thinking.
Rose warmly welcomes the arrival of Lolita who looks shabby. He was concerned about the conditions that befell Lolita.
"Sit down! What do you want to drink?" ask Rose.
"You should just blaspheme me, Rose. It'd be better than you being nice to me" Lolita's circus.
"No, Lolita. I know with your current anxiety. I'm a married woman. It must be hard to face all this. I'm sorry..."
Rose felt the need to apologize. At least everything that happened to Eric was because of her brother and her husband.
Lolita shook her head weakly. "I'm the one who should apologize. You lost a lot of things because of Eric."
Rose sat down beside Lolita and hugged her.
"Don't be afraid! If you need anything just tell me. I'll be ready to help you." Rose rubbed Lolita's trembling back.
"Thank you, Rose."

Judgment day for Eric has finally arrived. He will serve the death penalty by injecting poison that will immediately make his heart stop.
Lolita comes back to see Eric one last time. It was unexpected that Santoz also came to witness the punishment.
Lolita did not take Eric's family. He could not bear to see the sorrow of Elza or Eleanor. But unexpectedly, Elza came alone to meet her brother.
"Elza?" Lolita is shocked to see Elza coming.
Lolita rubbed Elza's back to strengthen her.
"You shouldn't have come, Elza."
"No, Brother. I have to see Brother Eric one last time." Elza looked strong with no tears.
"I don't know since when my brother turned out to be like this. All I know is he's a good brother and son."
Lolita clasped Elza's hand. "You still have me, Elza."
"Thank you for still being willing to accompany brother Eric to the end."
Officers called Lolita and Elza to witness Eric's execution process, which was bounded by a translucent glass wall, and witnesses were able to see firsthand the moment Eric died.
Eric's body was carried in a gurney with his legs and hands tied. Eric was shocked to see Lolita and Elza among the people who would see him put to death. Plus Santoz, who he lost his wife. That regret is back. But again, it's too late.
A doctor placed an infusion hose on Eric's right and left arm. The man regulated his breathing before the medicine was injected into his body.
When all is ready, an officer presses the button and enters the drug into an infusion tube directly into the blood vessels to the heart. Eric's body shook for some time until finally the body fell silent stiff and with eyes closed.
The doctor examined Eric's pulse, which had disappeared. He recorded Eric's death.
Outside the room, Elza who had been loud was crying. He hugged Lolita tightly spilling all his sadness.
Santoz who saw the sadness of the two women could only keep quiet. Behind him are Dixon, Carlos, Rose, and friends who turned out to be watching the execution.
"It's over, Black. Where are you now?" inner Dixon.

On the other side of the world, a man received a video submission of the accused executioner on behalf of Eric Evans. The man remained silent without comment.
"I'm sorry, Eric. I'm sorry.." murmured the man.
He rubbed his face. Sadness was still on his face despite trying to cover it up. He looked at a picture of himself and his friend who were now gone because of his own actions.
"Good way, man. You've reached the end of your wait..."

Meanwhile, Eryn also gets word about Eric's execution. He hugged Noah tightly with tears streaming down.
"Mommy, what's wrong? Why is Mommy crying?" ask the little boy who doesn't understand what's happening.
Eryn is getting closer to Noah. The man he always called 'Daddy' is gone.
"Honey, we pray for the best for daddy Eric yes," said Eryn when it was calmer.
"Why Mommy? What's wrong with daddy Eric? He's coming here, right?"
Eryn. "No, hon. Daddy Eric won't be able to come here. He's quiet there."
Noah still doesn't understand Eryn's explanation.
"Don't force him to know all about adult problems" said Kang Joon who suddenly came.
Eryn nodded.
"You just rest! I'll take care of Noah" he continued.
"Thank you, Joon. Then I go to the room first."
Joon stroked the top of Eryn's head. "Don't think of anything! Everything has gone according to the portion. You just play the role."
"Daddy Doctor, come play with me!" chirping Noah makes Joon and Eryn immediately turn to Noah.
Eryn codes with his eyes if Joon has to comply with Noah's wishes. Joon immediately ran over to Noah.
Eryn noticed the interaction of the two people. The chemistry between them is very close. Eryn would not break his son's heart.
"Maybe it's time for me to make a choice for Noah. May this be the best, "inner Eryn.
