Chapter 163: A Trap (Edited to correct the layout)

Lara hesitated before making a firm decision. " I want to see that b*tch first! This time I am going to make sure she dies!"

Erasmi gestured for Lara to go ahead and walk into the cabin, as he muttered," A bi*ch will definitely die tonight."

As the door of the cabin closed behind Lara, his mouth kicked up and he leaned against the fence. It was time to see his brother.

Erasmi smiled when he noticed Demetri stop the car with force. The man jumped out of the car before it had even been put into park mode and started to walk towards him forcefully.

When he was only a few feet away, Erasmi spoke sharply," Stop right there, Demetri."

Demetri stopped mid-step and stared at his brother. He had tried everything to bring him back to his side but now that he had finally returned to the world of the living, he had chosen to stand against him.

As he looked into his brother’s cold eyes, he did not hesitate before speaking," Erasmi. Are you sure that you are doing the right thing? There are so many things you do not know."

"I know all the important things, brother mine. You need not worry about me. Now let’s get to the point. Did you bring those two people?"

"Of course. Erasmi... What are you doing?"

Erasmi’s eyes hardened and he threatened," If you wish to save your dear Nora then I suggest you stop asking questions and do as I say. Pull out those two people and bring them here..."

Demetri looked at his brother scrutinizingly before he too shook his head," I am not giving them to you until I know for sure that she is safe. Where is Nora, Erasmi? Show me to her and we’ll exchange our two captives simultaneously.

"You do not set the conditions, Demetri. I don’t care whether the people in the car live or not. The same is true for your Nora. But you do care, right? Whether she lives another day or dies today. It’s up to you."

Demetri hardened his heart against his brother’s words and pulled Sara out of the car. Dragging the tied and unconscious girl, he threw her at Erasmi’s feet before marching back and doing the same for the other man.

"Now, where is Nora."

Erasmi grinned at that and quickly handed Demetri a note, "You’ll find her here. Go now, before I change my mind and change her location."

But Demetri made no move to go away and instead stood rooted to the spot," Nora is here. I know it."

Erasmi paused and turned back, looking at his brother with narrowed eyes. " No, she isn’t. The GPS tracker that she was wearing is here, but not her. Go look for her and don’t waste time for her. After all, animals can also attack her and she would not be able to defend herself. Go."

Demetri looked down at the handmade map, pointing him westwards and quickly marched in that direction. At this moment, he had no choice but to heed to Erasmi’s conditions.

Erasmi opened the door to the cabin carefully, a thick mask covering his mouth and nose as he walked in. His eyes glittered in the dark as he looked down at the woman laying slumped on the floor. Slowly he dragged the unconscious Sara and the woman’s lover into the cabin, before opening the windows to let the smell of medicine dissipate.

The idiotic woman really thought that she had gained an ally in him. This was his revenge. Lara Anderson was responsible for everything that he had lost, for everything that he had suffered and she would pay.

And he would be the one to extract payment. No one else. Not even Demetri doing the deed would give him the satisfaction until he watched with his own eyes as life bled out of this woman. Only then would he be able to forget Nellie’s lifeless eyes staring at him as they lay there in the debris of their accident?

Slowly, he walked to the kitchen, picking up a gallon of petroleum and started throwing it around the cabin.

As all the surfaces of the cabin were drenched and dripping with petrol, Lara and the two other people started to come around opening their eyes almost at the same time.

Lara was the first to react as she raced to Sara and hugged her tightly, "My daughter! Are you alright? Please forgive me! I should not have entrusted your safety to anyone else!"

Sara hugged back her mother but soon, an offensive smell assaulted her senses. At the same time the other two people also senses something and quickly started to look around.

And that is when Lara met Erasmi’s gaze and let out a small horrified scream, realising that everything around them was drenched in petroleum while the man who sat on the chair held a lighter in his hand.

As she looked around in panic, she then realised that she too was soaked in the foul liquid.

"You set out a trap! You lied to me. You said that you wanted to get rid of your enemy."

"Hmm I did say that I wanted to get rid of my enemy. You assumed that Demetri was my enemy. It is you I want to get rid of from this world."

"Why? What have I done to you?"

A dangerous smile filled his face as he said happily, " Ah I forgot to introduce myself. I am Erasmi Frost. I was your older daughter Nellie’s lover."

Lara felt her heart tremble in fear at the words.

"No this is not possible. How can it be you?"

" But it is me, Lara Anderson. However, you can consider me your death. I will be the one you will die with tonight. I promise you that."

"No! No! I won’t let this happen! I won’t die so easily I am telling you." Before anyone could react, Lara stood up and ran toward the door.
