บท 408: First Relationship: A story of deceit V (end)

'Gone...?' Momentarily, the whole villa fell into a dreaded silence as only her sniffs could be heard in sync with the ticking of the clock. 

Ethan Lu wanted to ask what she meant by 'gone', but, at that moment, his rage began to consume him. The thought of Avah Tong harming her own child reminded him of his mother. 

His eyes darkened, as the veins on his forehead suddenly turned palpable, his grip on her shoulder tightened as if it could break her bones any minute, while his other hand slowly loosened as he lifted it up before a resounding slap echoed across the whole place. 

*Pak!*

"What did you do?" At this point, Ethan Lu showed zero remorse for slapping Avah Tong that made her head toss to the side while her upper body slightly slumped to the floor. He wasn't that fond of women but, it was his first time physically hurting one. Yet, Ethan Lu wasn't regretting it, not at all.
