Trapped With The Devil

Section 27

Selena always hated to be stuck in the car with Eros, let alone the rain suddenly falling in the middle of the night like this. There was no conversation since Selena asked to go home, even Eros immediately agreed without saying anything more.

Eros kept his eyes fixed on the street in front and was acting very calm ever since Emilia fainted in the middle of the party. Too calm even and somehow all that makes Selena riled. He hated to be curious like this. He had no idea what Eros was thinking, though he never knew.

“To be honest..” Selena turned her face. Staring at the water droplets that hit the window of the car next to him. “... I don't understand why you asked me to make you forget Emilia.”

Eros is too confusing. But as little as Selena could possibly understand, that love and hate were in Eros' heart at this time. It must not be easy to forget Emilia who became his first love. Is correct. That is love. That warm and friendly gaze is love—dulu.

“Why are you asking that?”

“You said you hated him,” Selena's fishing line. “After all why should I? There are a lot of women chasing you out there. I don't want to be involved in anything anymore, really.”

Eros glanced at Selena with her tail. The woman's face was reflected in the car window. Silent expression.

“I don't like to be in debt,” Eros said later.

“I never thought of that as a debt. Let's just say I never helped you.”

“You're stubborn too, yes.” Eros chuckles. “We see, are you still asking me to release you after this.”

Selena's forehead frowned. He was increasingly clueless about the man's words, but he was too tired to answer. And suddenly drowsiness made his eyes feel heavy. A second later his head was already drooping on the chair.

Eros smiled obliquely. Remembering how he had put something into Selena's drink at the party. “It looks like the medicine has reacted.”

“I hope you can pay more attention to the food and drink that will be consumed by Mr.”'s wife

Alex nodded while opening the door. “One more time thank you.”

“Then I excuse you. Good night.”

Door's closed. Alex rushed back into the room and looked at Emilia who had fallen back asleep after she had regained consciousness for a while.

The doctor said that Emilia was poisoned. But how can it be? At Orlando Cloe's birthday party? That sounds absurd. But if this case is investigated it will be difficult for Alex, he must still maintain a good relationship with Cloe Enterprise. It could be that his actions are said to be a way to defame the company. And everything will be more complicated.

Alex rubbed his face and sighed. He almost lost Emilia and her future baby. Had the dose of poison in the drink Emilia last touched it been higher, it might have been...

No. gabe. No. gabe. Alex mustn't think badly. Most importantly, he had to find out who was the mastermind of this incident.

“You have killed my son.”

DEG!

Not likely. No way Eros. It was impossible if the man was to recklessly poison Emilia. Eros is not that kind of person. Yep. Nope.

Alex shuffled his hair. Head dizzy. For some time he would take Emilia to live with his mother. At least until he finds the culprit.

Selena blinked slowly, her body feeling hot and limp. Samar, he could see the figure of a man who was very close to his face. His lips grinned and his eyes flashed amid the dimness of the room.

Selena does not know and does not understand about where or how she is currently. As lightning flashed over the sky, he only realized that the figure now sitting on it was—

“Eros...”

The cold, rough hand touched his cheek and jaw, and the world went dark again.

“Quickly grow up, my son.”

**

Selena was aghast, she suddenly woke up even though her head hurt half to death. His eyes blinked several times, although the curtains were still tightly closed but the sunlight was able to infiltrate the room.

The chamber? This is not his room!

Selena slips. The one in his place right now was the big bed that belonged to him...The eros?

“Oh Lord..” Selena covered her mouth with both hands. Behind the blanket he did not wear a thread.

What the hell's been going on? Why doesn't he remember anything?

“T-No,” he said shook his head quickly. “Cannot be!” Cold sweat appeared on his temples. “IMPOSSIBLE!”

And the scream continued to be heard accompanied by the sound of fragments of objects that followed later.

Whether Steve saw it wrong or not, but Eros' face really looks bright today. The man was sipping his hot coffee while looking at the view of the city from behind the window.

“Remember if I'm wrong, you have nothing to do with last night's incident, right?” Although it's none of his business, Steve knows what kind of person Eros is. He is also still a friend of Emilia until now, although it is undeniable that he felt a little disappointed when he knew that Emilia had lied to Eros.

“Why do you think I want to come to such a boring event?”

Steve's stunned. Si*l. Prediction's right. Eros must have infiltrated one of his men to poison Emilia.

Eros turned. The man smiled, even his eyes narrowed. “You know the good news?”

Steve nodded slowly. Not only because they do not know, but also do not want to know what Eros said next.

“Emilia is pregnant.” Eros chuckled while twirling his coffee cup in slow motion. “He still owes me one life.”

Steve gulps. Love is really capable of making people turn into such a terrifying figure.

Now he just understood the meaning of the song lyrics that say that 'too much love will kill you'.
