Chapter 231 - Feeling Helpless
"Luna! Why are you taking so long?"
Edward banged on the bathroom door because, after almost 30 minutes, Luna had not come out. He was worried about Luna escaping through the window or whatever. he was just like Ethan who was afraid of losing Luna but he was overreacting and seemed like a stressed person.
Luna quickly wiped her tears and stand up. She opened the door with her head down in fear to face Edward who seemed to have been angry because she had taken too long.
"Why so long, Huh? Are you trying to escape?" Edward grabbed Luna's hair so that her head looked up, he started to be rude.
"Let go of me, Edward. I was just crying because I remembered my baby!" Luna winced in pain and tried to release Edward's grip on her hair.
"Forget about them, because you will be with me forever!" Edward released the grip so violently that Luna almost fell.
"How can I love you if you treat me like this, Edward?" Luna sat against the wall in front of the bathroom and cried, she was frustrated because she was worried about her baby.
"I told you to learn to forget them, so I won't be rude again!" said Edward in a high-pitched voice. It's so easy for him to say that, who is he? There's no way Luna would leave her love for a crazy man like Edward!.
"I can't forget my baby!" Luna replied in frustration because she couldn't act anymore. She cried looking at Edward in annoyance.
"Oh, okay. Do you need me getting them from Ethan?" Edward asked in a threatening tone, he crouched down to stare at Luna who again showed rejection.
"No, Edward. Don't hurt them, they're better off with Ethan than with you!"
"What did you say? Do you think I don't deserve to be a father? I can love them like Ethan!" Edward confirmed with a sharp look because Luna always boasted about Ethan.
Luna looked at Edward and shook her head. "Don't you realize? By leaving Sarah, it means you don't love your unborn child! Even though she helped me out of prison, right?"
Edward smiled faintly remembering he didn't have feelings for his future child. "I'm sure it's not my child!"
"Don't argue, Edward. You better take me home now and you also go home, Sarah needs you to always be by her side," Luna coaxed pleadingly.
"No Luna! You are mine, you will stay here, if necessary I will take you farther!"
Edward looked at Luna sharply, then pulled dragging her back to the room. He tied his ex-girlfriend with a rope.
"What do you want, Edward, let me go!" Luna started to panic.
"Shut up! Don't make me more violent!" Edward snapped, then he walked to the door and slammed it shut.
Brakkkk...
Luna tiptoed in surprise and saw that the door was locked from the outside, lost hope of getting out because her hands were tied and Edward went somewhere.
"Ethan... help me!!" Luna again sobbed and screamed for her children. "Keenan ... Keyra!! I miss you!"
Edward locked all the doors of the villa from the outside, then he got in the car and drove it towards the city, leaving Luna alone in the magnificent villa with silver paint.

at noon, Ethan was exploring the woods on foot, because his car couldn't get into the narrow streets.
"It seems impossible that there are villas around here, the place is less attractive," said Andrew while glancing around the forest where only large trees grew and occasionally he met wild animals that amused him.
"I've been searching on google, here is a beautiful place, there could be a villa in the vicinity," said Arsha as she walked after Ethan.
"Where is that beautiful place?" asked Ethan as he turned to look at Arsha.
"I forgot, but it's precisely in this area," replied Arsha.
Ethan sighed and sat himself down on a fallen log with roots showing, probably fallen in the wind.
Seeing Ethan sitting with a pale face, Arsha sat down, followed by Andrew.
'It's two o'clock in the afternoon, it will soon be evening and it will be dark. I haven't been able to find any sign of where Luna is,' Ethan thought anxiously looking at the scene before him.
"There are so many mosquitoes here." Andrew hit the mosquito that landed on his hand, then he glanced at Ethan who was only wearing a sleeveless shirt, it must have been a mosquito's meal. "Didn't you get bitten?" he asked.
Ethan was still daydreaming about where Luna was, he didn't even feel the mosquitoes start to bite his right arm and shoulder, because his left shoulder was covered in bandages.
"There's also no signal here, I can't open the internet at all," Arsha said while holding his smartphone pointing upwards to get a signal but to no avail.
"We'd better find again before it gets dark." Ethan got up from his seat.
"Shouldn't we wait to hear from the police who are investigating? I'm worried about you." Arsha looked pityingly at Ethan who did look pale, it was time for him to take medicine. it was as if good luck was not on his brother-in-law's side, like falling on a ladder. It's been hurt even the wife was kidnapped, anyone would feel very devastated.
"I have to find Luna today because Edward could hurt her," said Ethan angrily.
"We have been helped by the police and bodyguards, Ethan. You should rest first, tomorrow we will continue again," Arsha persuaded.
Andrew glanced at Ethan who was still reluctant to go home but his body was really weak. "We will take you home, after that, we will continue to look for Luna," he said.
Ethan was silent for a while feeling worried for Luna but his body was also very weak, his shoulders hurt again because he should have rested completely.
"Okay, I'm going home," said Ethan finally.
Arsha and Andrew took Ethan back to the car and drove him back home.
During the trip, Ethan continued to daydream with his eyes on the roadside scenery that looked cool because of the many trees, until he arrived at the edge of the forest.
"Why is all this happening when you realize that we have to stick around to be together, I'm so worried about you, honey."
Slowly the clear drops fell from Ethan's eyelids, he was in a state of helplessness because his body was very weak.

When they got home, Andrew and Arsha helped Ethan into the house because his body was too weak. Even he seemed unable to stand back up and eventually fell.
"Oh my God, Ethan!"
With difficulty, Andrew and Arsha lifted Ethan's heavy body into the house, then put him on the sofa.
Shandra, who was in the living room, noticed Arsha's arrival. She immediately went to the living room while holding one of her twin nephews.
"What happens with him?" asked Sandra panics.
"He's tired, seems dehydrated too, we forgot to bring drinks earlier." Arsha adjusted Ethan's position to rest as comfortably as possible.
"Should we call a doctor?" Andrew asked.
"No need, he just needs to rest," Arsha replied while looking at how weak Ethan was at the moment. "After he wakes up, tell him to eat and take medicine," he cried.
Sandra nodded. Andrew and Arsha immediately had lunch for a while then continued looking for Luna in the forest area while waiting for the police team who were searching.
