You're In My Grips
Chapter 18

Dion stared resentfully at Erick who had managed to get rid of him, his resentment and anger already humiliating him in front of others. Both hands clenched firmly, a sharp gaze towards the prey and wanting to tear it apart. 

"He doesn't know who I am yet" an upset Dion begins to devise a plan of retribution, commanding some men to teach Erick a lesson. "Look at it later," murmured with a confident devil smile, not knowing who he was being nosy about.

Everyone was very surprised to learn that Dara became Erick's lover, besides being handsome is also very rich. They also do not expect, the man who sits alone is the same man always likes to be alone and also cupid. A fairly drastic change, they judge that the girl who will become the man's lover will be the luckiest girl.

Everyone started praising her prowess as well as her good looks, Dara stared intently as if pressing down on the man. 

"Can I borrow my girlfriend?" Erick smilingly looked at Dara's expression as if he wanted to hang her, staring for a few seconds at the girls gaping in disbelief. They were excited to hear the direct statement, making envious hearts. 

"Ish, you're this. What if they misunderstand?" Upset Dara hits Erick's smiling arm. 

"Leave it." 

Everyone turned their eyes to the one object that became mc, guiding the course of an event. Dara was very curious as to who was funding the show and was surprised when mc called Erick Adelmo's name. 

"Wow, you're so good at getting Erick, I envy you so much." Gemini stared at the man standing before everyone in amazement funding the extremely lavish event. He nudges Dara's arm to tease her, hoping she finds a heart patch. 

"You don't know that Erick always makes things difficult for me" said Dara, who commented on a smile that didn't answer her best friend's words.

"Did Erick have a rich friend who was also handsome?" whispered Gemini.

"I've never met his friend other than his assistant in the office." 

"If there's a tell me right away." 

"okay."

After the completion of all the events that went well, Erick and Dara were heading to the Adelmo mansion. 

Dara looked straight ahead, the streets seemed quiet only in decorated lights lined up. The atmosphere of silence made him unable to bear, especially the speed of his vehicle like a person who had just learned to drive. 

"Can't increase the speed of this car, like a conch." 

Erick let out a heavy sigh, doing all of that in order to spend longer. "Safety is number one." 

"Come on! I'm so tired and I want to rest." Dara's sigh shut her evaporating mouth. 

"You can go to bed first." Erick is back to focusing. Every now and then he looked at the girl sleeping next to him, a soft snoring voice indicating that Dara was very tired. 

Erick immediately braked the car suddenly, saw someone lying on the asphalt and almost run over by his car. "It's weird, I have to be careful." His murmur that smelled the scent of evil, pushed back the car and tried to get away. 

The man who lay awake and in his hand held a sharp folding knife, running after the targeted car. Erick let out a heavy sigh, someone who had bad intentions for him and Dara would not survive. "Who told them to?" he said while counting the criminals begal complete with sharp weapons in their hands. 

Erick is desperate to get out of the car, face to face with five people without fear. Highlight the sharp eyes in the eagle's eyes, staring at the soft prey as food. "On these streets never had a criminal case, who told you to?" 

"Whisper, you must be wretched." Strangled one of the criminals. 

"Here you go, I don't have much time. Tell me how much you're paying, I'll pay you three times." 

Erick smiled skewedly, throwing money as per their agreement. He could have beaten the criminals, but he did not want to be selfish by sacrificing the safety of Dara who fell asleep in the car. 

"Who gave you orders?" 

"Mr Dion told us to harm you." 

"Hem, now you're going to work for me. I'll give you a check worth tens of millions if you give that guy a lesson, how?" 

"Well, we better follow the man's words." The criminals whispered. 

"Agreed." 

"Alright, we agree to your offer, sir." Their speech compactly pulls the corners of Erick's lips. 

"good. Now move!" Erick walked into the car, his arrogant face managed to turn things around. "Just cockroaches trying to mess with me, Dion you're gonna regret telling them to attack me." 

The car stopped right in front of the luxurious building, Erick smiled as he stroked Dara's very beautiful face had made it difficult to move on. Memories of the past were also first loves that he could not forget. 

"Until now I still can't forget you, even if you just make me a bet." She grimaced with a cynical smile, feelings of abandonment and an unfinished love journey. 

Erick holds Dara's body and takes her inside her room, smiling and infiltrating her lying next to the girl. "It's very comfortable." His mind tightened a very comfortable embrace. 

Elsewhere, Dion is waiting for his man to teach Erick a lesson in humiliating him. Smile sumringah waiting for news from his men, already impatient to hear the results.

"Sir, we're returning the money from you. We don't have a relationship between a man and a boss anymore." One criminal threw Dion's money that was nothing compared to Erick's generous gift. 

"What is all this?" Dion frowned and was very curious. 

"Isn't everything clear, the sooner we work with Mr. Erick." 

"Based on treason." Dion advances to teach a lesson, but the criminals unleash a sharp weapon to bully his former employer. "You are crazy!" 

"Money money can be misleading, so sorry we had to hurt you, Mr. Dion." Said one of the criminals grinning thinly and came forward to beat up Dion.

In the morning, Dara opened her eyes and felt a weight on her waist. Seeing a hand coiling out of nowhere, falling asleep made him unaware of it. He immediately turned around and gasped at the sight of Erick before him, staring at the different surroundings in the room he occupied. 

"Geez, why can I sleep here and be with Erick. Uh, it turns out he's also sleeping." A moment later Dara was tempted by the good looks of her ex-lover, touching the nose pointed as well as eyebrows thick is very something for her. 

"Are you satisfied playing it?" 

Dara screamed and was embarrassed, and the man heard her words. "When did you wake up?" tanyanya guguo, trying to hide her face that was already like boiled shrimp. 

"Since you've wrestled in your dream world." Erick hid his gelatinous smile, in his eyes Dara was adorable.
