Trapped With The Devil
Section 36
Nothing has changed since Eros and Selena's bond has officially become a married couple. Behind the walls of the mansion, they still slept apart and acted like strangers. There is never anything romantic like a newlywed. Selena also does not need to bother playing a wife because there are so many servants who have prepared all the needs and equipment Eros at home. So even with Eros, after marriage, the man became more often home late at night. It seems that the man is busy taking care of a business that is quite growing rapidly.
Regarding William's family relationship, it seems to be getting more tenuous. Although Mrs William, Alex and Emilia were present at the wedding of Eros and Selena, but there was a clear distance between them. Does not seem to be reprimanding or talking as usual. The most obvious one was only the expression of Madame Emilia's disappointment when looking at Alex or Eros even once.
“Where are you going?”
That morning, Eros was about to enter the car when he found Selena had looked neat with a bag draped over her shoulder.
The woman stopped her steps for a moment. “I have to buy some needs.”
“Why not just tell the waiter?”
“Why should I send a waiter while I can buy it myself?”
Eros turned his face while cursing slowly. He would most not like his question to be answered with a question.
Selena simply frowned towards the man before returning to continue her steps. But before he reached the gate, his body suddenly shot up into the air and his face smashed into something hard.
“H-hey!”
Selena gnashing. The thing before him was something hard and smelled fragrant. He hates to admit that Eros' chest is so wide and square. Even from behind that white shirt Selena could feel the perfectly formed indentations. Her cheeks were blushing, wanting to rebel but Eros had already put her in the car first.
The man locked all the doors after sitting on the steering wheel, making anticipation as to where Selena intended to escape.
“Shut up there and wear your seat belt.”
Selena only sighed softly before fitting the seat belt with a pouting face.
“No matter what kind of house, when outside we have to act as a good husband and wife, don't you think?”
Selena smiled wryly. “Playing Yes..” said mangut-mangut. “Alright then.” The woman advanced her body quickly and gave a friendly kiss on Eros cheek.
The man was pecking. A little unexpected will get a 'sudden’ attack like that. He glanced at Selena who was still near his face and was smiling sweetly.
“Come way, Husband. You'll be late.”
Truly, Selena should have been rewarded for her impeccable acting.

Leo and Steve were talking in Eros' room when the owner came in with his briefcase.
“Yo! New bride!” Leo has always been the biggest party. Steve shrugged his shoulders at the man's behavior.
“Why are you here?” asked Eros while keeping his bag on the table.
That question is for Leo, of course. The single Smith lightly replied, “of course is ‘hunting', especially?”
Next to Eros's eyebrows raised. “You dated one of my employees?”
“Not a regular employee,” is Steve who is brewing coffee at the end of the room. “New Financial Division Manager, Angelica Kim.”
“The Korean woman?” Eros grinning. “Since when did you like such a plain type?”
“Since saw Selena.”
Steve barely spills his coffee while Eros quickly glances. “Si*lan.”
Leo heard the man's curse. “Jealous, eh?”
“It looks like your married life is going smoothly,” Leo said as he approached Eros and touched the man's shoulder with one of his hands. His fingers moved down—terus—until at the bottom of Eros' hard chest. Leo grinned. “I don't think he's so aggressive.”
Steve approached and actually spouted his coffee when he found a lipstick mark printed quite clearly on Eros' white shirt. While the owner just looked indifferently while brushing the hands of Leo who did not stop widening.

Selena occasionally sighed as she glanced at a man in black who was watching her from behind the huge pillars of a shopping mall. Eros could see everything he did even though the man did not see it directly, because his accomplices were scattered everywhere.
Choosing to be indifferent, Selena entered a storefront that provides a variety of lipstick choices from well-known brands. It's been a long time since I've been able to shop like this. Breathe free air without having to see the flat face of Eros who is now plastered in front of him every day.
“It looks like this color is suitable for you, Mrs.”
Selena turned her head when someone accidentally nudged her left arm and almost made the bag hanging on her shoulder fall off.
“Oh sorry—“ Their views meet. “—Selena?”

A waiter placed two cups of warm chocolate between Selena and Emilia, who were still close to their lips. Not far from the table they were at, there was a middle-aged woman who was staring anxiously at them. Guessing who the woman who was able to make Emilia display a surprised expression when she accidentally collided earlier.
Emilia licked her lips, feeling uncomfortable with the awkwardness that occurred after a few minutes had passed. “Previous, congratulations on your marriage,” he said started the conversation.
Selena glanced at Emilia as she took a sip of her warm chocolate and nodded slowly. Before the wedding, Alex and Emilia were not seen again.
Both are again in silence. Selena is not too enthusiastic to fill the conversation because there is nothing she needs to say. Even because they are not too familiar, although now both bear the name William.
But Emilia really couldn't let that awkwardness back envelop her. “Whatever happens,” Emilia again glanced at Selena. “I hope you and Eros can be happy.”
Selena put down her cup and looked at Emilia. The woman is good, her face is beautiful and every word is very polite. Like princesses born into noble families. There is almost no reproach, even by just hearing the softness of his voice, anyone can fall in love. But the joy that used to be displayed is now dim. Selena felt she was dealing with someone else.
“Yes. I hope you and Alex are happy too.”
Emilia smiled faintly. In her perspective, Selena who was currently sitting before her was a very calm and level-headed female figure. And he thought, Eros does need such a figure. The resilient, who will not constantly cry when hurt. Because Selena is unlikely to allow herself to be hurt twice after the rejection of love a few years ago.
But Emilia still does not understand the reason that makes Eros to want to lick his own saliva by making Selena his wife even though it had been rejected outright.
“Sorry to interrupt.”
The two turned their heads as the middle-aged woman approached the two of them. Emilia said the woman was her domestic assistant.
“But, it's time to check up, Mrs.”
Selena frowning. “You sick?” he told Emilia.
Emilia shook her head while stroking her stomach. A bashful smile appeared on the woman's lips. “No.”
“You...pregnant?” Selena concluded.
“It's been two months.”
Selena. Two months? Then at Orlando's birthday party at that time Emilia was pregnant?
Not likely.
Eros... don't know it, do you?
