Chapter 284: Get Out
Chapter 284: Get Out
Eris was in her apartment.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The persistent knocking on the door was an indication of the visitor's anger.
Eris had just taken a shower and had slipped into her nightdress.She was frightened by the noise.She lived here alone.
Who could it possibly be at this time of night? The last time, all the things in her house had been ransacked.
Remembering this, Eris looked around, went into the kitchen and armed herself with a sharp knife.She then cautiously proceeded to the front door.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The knocking continued unabated.
Eris leaned against the wall and quietly opened the wooden door just enough so that she could get a glimpse of her visitor.
The light in the corridor was quite bright.She could clearly see the person outside.
Bang! The knife fell onto the floor.
"Brian!"
She hurriedly opened the wooden door wide and then the security door.She neatened her hair and said, "Brian, come in."
The living room was a mess.Her bag and coat were strewn across the sofa.
Eris rushed over and cleared everything off the sofa.She felt embarrassed.
"It's a little messy.I've been quite busy these past two days, so I haven't had time to clean up.Brian, take a seat.What would you like to drink? I don't have anything good here except for mineral water."
Eris was so surprised by Brian's visit that she didn't notice how grim he looked.She was overjoyed to see him.She had not been so happy since the accident.
Brian had come to visit her.She assumed that after they had parted, their separation had made him miss her so he was here to beg her to take him back.
The more Eris thought about it, the happier she got.
She felt a rush of pleasure pulsate through her body.
‘We had spent four years in each other's company, so how could we break up so easily"
"Brian..."
"Don't bother." Brian grabbed her by her wrist.
Her heart was racing.She had just taken a fresh shower, and the fragrance of shower gel permeated the air.She was dressed in a black nightdress, revealing her fair shoulders.Her hair was half dry and cascaded loosely over her shoulders, making her look sensual.
Eris was very confident about her body and her body language was teasing.She bit her lip and said shyly, "Brian, it's so late.Why are you here?"
Brian looked at her without any expression.

Two seconds!
Five seconds passed.
But Eris received no response from him.
Surprised, she raised her head and stared into his cold, piercing eyes.
For a moment, she thought she detected a hint of mockery in his eyes.
It was only a cold glare, but to Eris, it felt as if he had splashed ice cold water into her face.Her whole body trembled.
"Brian..."
"Eris, I underestimated you." Eris looked at him, confused.
"You must be proud of the press conference, huh? I always thought that you were the most innocent and harmless woman in the world.I was so blind to your faults.You are a vicious vixen!"
The smile on Eris’ face froze.
"So are you here to blame me?"
"What? Did you think I came here to get you back?"
Brian mocked.He looked at Eris with utter disgust.
His piercing eyes seemed to strip her of her dignity.
"You must be daydreaming! Eris, I shared a bed with you for so many years, but now I feel sick just looking at your face! Do you think you are still attractive to me now? You repulse me!"
"How dare you?"
Eris's face turned as pale as a sheet.She never imagined the day would come when he would use such distasteful and scathing words on her.
"Brian!"
"Just shut up!"
Recalling his mother's lecture, Brian couldn't find any tenderness in his heart for Eris.He looked around, grabbed a coat and threw it to her.
"Cover yourself!"
Eris took the coat and held back her tears.
"if my body held no attraction for you, then you wouldn't ask me to cover up."
"Your body is dirty.".
‘Dirty?’ He called her dirty! Trembling all over, Eris put her coat on and said, "Dirty? Don't make me laugh.You slept with me for four years but now you think I am trash and filth? Brian, stop being ridiculous."
It was indeed ridiculous! The thing he regretted most in his life was spending so many years with Eris.He should have cut loose a long time ago.
"Right, Eris.We've been together for so long so why did you stab me in the back like that? You saw the consequences of the press conference, right? You must be ecstatic at how the netizens are criticizing me and making me look like the bad guy." Eris felt a cold wave flow through her heart.
"So, you came here just to blame me?"
"I'm not that bored!" Brian said and then pointed at the door.
Eris scoffed.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll give you an hour to pack up.Then get the hell out of here!"
After recoiling from her shock, Eris asked, "What did you say?"
"I had planned to break up with you peacefully.No matter how much you lied to me, we had been together for four years.I had wanted to leave this apartment to you as compensation for the past few years.But you are such an ungrateful wretch.You even slandered me in front of the media.In that case, there is need to show you any mercy.Now, get out!"
Eris broke out in peals of laughter She laughed as if she had heard the joke of the year.
At last, she bent over and even burst into tears.
"It's so ridiculous! I broke up with you, but I still can't forget you.You are such a scumbag!"
Suddenly, Brian raised his hand.
"Here! Come on, slap me across the face."
Eris stood on tiptoe, pointed at her cheek and snapped, "Do it.You'd better hit me.Bruise my face or disfigured me! In that way, I can be the top search item on social media tomorrow.Everyone will get to know what an abusive and brutal man you are.The same man who publicly proclaimed his love for me for four years."
Brian's hand stopped in midair.
‘Damn! Already there was too much public scrutiny on his and his parents’ lives.They were waiting like hawks to get some dirt on him so that it would deal the company a hard blow.
If news of him assaulting Eris did the rounds, then it would definitely impact negatively on the company.
Brian gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand.He couldn't bear to look at Eris anymore.He pointed at the door and shouted, "Get out of here right now!"
"No! I won't!"
Brian was so angry that he actually laughed.
"Eris, you should be ashamed of yourself.Although I promised to give you this apartment, we have not signed any contracts yet.It is not in your name.This apartment still legally belongs to me.If you don't leave, you are illegally occupying my private property.Believe it or not, I will call the police immediately! Try me!"
Seeing the fear on Eris’ face, Brian added, "Are you scared now? Get out of my apartment right now!"
