Trapped With The Devil
Section 47
“SELENA!”
Selena put down her spoon and frowned. Faintly he heard the sound of someone shouting. He stood up and rested his hands on the fence. His head looked at the Eros car parked in front of the house.
Hm? The man has—
Selena sculpting. He felt the presence of someone behind his body. Real close. But he did not understand why there was something sparkling beside his neck. The tip is pointed and if it moves just a little, Selena can make sure that her neck will be torn right away.
“Emilia?” selena said alert. The tail of his eyes tried to glance at the woman. “What...what are you doing?”
Emilia tilted her head, then whispered softly in Selena's ear. “Of course—kill you.” Then the woman laughed. An unnatural laugh.
Selena gulps.
What happened to that woman?!
“I don't understand what you mean,” Selena said as she tried to find an opening to escape Emilia. The longer the blade got closer, only a little more left to be able to touch his skin.
Emilia's laughter stopped. He whispered again, “ don't need to understand because—IN ANY CASE YOU'LL DIE!”
BRACKET!
“NO!”
SLIMMER!
Selena slips. He looked up to look at Eros who was staring at him with a frowning forehead. The large body of the man wrapped around his body, protecting him from Emilia's attack just now.
“E-Eros..
Emilia stared at the knife she was holding on Eros' back. Then in one fell swoop he pulled the knife without warning.
“Ugh..” Eros. He felt extreme pain in his back. The man took off his embrace on Selena and turned around.
Emilia took a step back when she got a cold look from Eros. The blood-soaked knife in his hand fell to the floor and made quite a loud noise.
“Sick, right?” emilia asked with a strange smile, but her eyes were teary. Shortly after, tears flooded his face. Head shakes. “No. It definitely doesn't hurt at all.”
Selena shuddered when she saw the wound on Eros' back. The incision wasn't too big, but it must have been very deep because the blood didn't stop flowing.
“Eros lukamu—“
“Finally you unmasked you too, Emilia.” Eros ignored Selena's worries. “Tell me who you really are and why..you intend to kill Alex?”
Selena's eyes are rounded.
What did Eros just say?!
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Emilia's laughter echoed in the room, but there were still tears there. “So you've known about it, huh?” His expression changed quickly. His laughter disappeared changing with such a huge hateful look. “Because of your family, My father and mother died.” The woman sobbed. “ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY!”
PRANGS!
“YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS MY FATHER'S COMPANY IS IN JAILIT!”
PRANGS!
“YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS MY FATHER WENT TO JAIL AND MY MOTHER WAS DEPRESSED!”
PRANGS!
“YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS MY WHOLE FAMILY IS DEAD!”
Emilia threw all the furniture nearby blindly. “I HATE YOU ALL! GO TO HELL!”
Eros quickly turned around to protect Selena. Clutching him tightly while his men begin to arrive to capture Emilia. Outside, the servants gathered and whispered as Emilia was dragged away forcefully while continuing to shout and occasionally laugh.
“BACK MY DAD AND MOM!”
“KAKU FAMILY BACK!”
“I HATE YOU GUYS!”
The servants went straight into the room and cleared up all the mess that Emilia had caused.
But the surprise did not run out when one of them said, “Mr Arthur just reported that the Big Lady has died.”
Eros said nothing. The man simply closed his eyes and tightened his embrace on Selena.
**
Eros was still standing there staring at Lady William's grave despite the darkening sky. Selena looked at the man from behind the parked car quite far away with Steve sitting on the steering wheel.
Eros never cried throughout the funeral, but Selena knew the man must have been hit. Eros' feelings for Mrs William must have been the same as how she felt when she saw Alex die. Even if they are hated and disappointed, they are family. Whether regretful or not, Selena never knew the man's feelings.
“Eros told us to go home first.” Steve showed Selena his phone. “You're pregnant, right?”
Selena nodded weakly.
“Means there is no reason for you to refuse.” Steve started the car engine after putting his phone on the dashboard.
“How about...Eros?” ask Selena hesitating.
Steve's eyebrows shot up. “Worrying about it, eh?”
Selena turned her face away while blushing. “Forget. We go home now.”
Both of Steve's shoulders were raised. “Just relax, you think how many aides does he have?” he said while driving a car.
**
Steve throws a brown map on the table before joining Leo and Eros, who are sitting on the black sofa.
“Emilia is Madam Swan's niece, she adopted Emilia since both her parents committed suicide.” Steve opened the conversation. “Father, Jordan Swan was your father's business rival in the past. His company went bankrupt and he was arrested for bribery.”
Leo laughed blandly. “Emilia hid everything so neatly,” she said half in disbelief. “How is it possible? Is that how he pretended? Just to destroy the William family?” The man leaned his body on the chair and heaved a heavy sigh.
Steve licked his lips and glanced at Eros. The wound on his back was still not dry, but the man had to get word of his mother's death.
“Dan...Arthur says that Mrs William did not die of an overdose, but because she had taken poison before.” Steve took a breath. “Emilia mixes poison into the tea that your mother will consume before she goes to Mrs Swan's house.”
Eros closed his eyes and sighed softly. “I understand.”
“You yourself...have you suspected him since the beginning?” leo asked as he straightened up and looked at Eros full of probes.
**
Eros stared at the man in prisoner's clothes sharply. For someone who had run over someone else and received a prison sentence, the man did not show an expression of regret or was hit.
Something was strange from the beginning. No car should go fast around a funeral like that. To clear his suspicions, Eros secretly met the perpetrator in prison.
“My answer honestly, are you a man?”
The man raised his head. Name's Roberto. His entire hand was covered in tattoos and his hair was long past his shoulders. “The revenge is already answered. Life paid life.”
“What did you say?”
Roberto just grinned and almost Eros lost control to hit him in the face.
“Do not feel yourself winning,” he said with a wider grin. “Sometimes looking weak it's just camouflage so your opponent is off guard and at that time you can strike him back.”
"What are you talking about?!" ask Eros impatiently.
Roberto only laughed when the police took him back to prison.
Well, dizzy, right? Haha. I'm sorry, because gatau aja—from the reader's point of view—I really like the genre that I believe. Hurt hurt how it is 😂
And thank you to all who have already voted and like I pray that you are always healthy, AMIIN.
