Trapped With The Devil
Section 50
“You never loved him but you always looked for him as if he were yours. What exactly do you want?”
Sam sensed that sharp gaze could destroy anything around him. He thought Eros would hit him or do anything to scare him so he wanted to tell Selena where she was, but a few minutes later the man closed his eyes and sighed.
Eros. “If something happens to Selena, I will never forgive you.”
Sam grunts. “Don't you realize that he's always been hurt while with you?!” said fed up. “Before you come back, his life is perfectly fine. Then you came like s*tan and that's when her life went awry!” Sam stepped near the door. “I won't let Selena get hurt again. So go ahead, the door is wide open for you.”
Eros said nothing. The man only glanced for a moment before coming out with a rough move.
Sam quickly closed the door. It was a miracle when his face or body could be fine when Eros looked at him as if he wanted to kill him earlier.

When he returned home, Eros poured all his anger, lucky Steve had returned to the office.
“Madam went to the funeral and back then he did not return to the car.”
That's what one of the drivers who drove Selena before the woman disappeared said.
“I've been looking for it everywhere, but..” Seeing both of his Master's hands clenched, the man hesitantly continued his words. He immediately rested in front of Eros. “I'm sorry Sir! Please forgive me!”
With a cold tone Eros replied, “I will forgive you, but from now on you do not need to work here anymore.”
The man stumbled. “Master!”
“Quick go before I smash your head.”
The man rode off in front of Eros. The servants who happened to be there were only able to give a look of pity. It was fortunate that the man was still able to leave without the slightest flaw.
But a second later it was as if lightning had struck as Eros said, “you're all fired as well. Start packing your things and never come back.”
The maids were pecking, while Eros returned up the stairs while receiving a call from someone.
“What?”
“Mr Alex is awake.”

“Do we go directly to the hotel, Mister?”
Orlando loosened his tie and replied, “Ya. Today I am very tired.” The man leaned his body on the passenger seat and threw his gaze outside.
The view in autumn is amazing. The leaves appear yellowing and cherry blossoms— which became the symbol of the country he visited now— also seems to start falling. It looked so beautiful, making Orlando want to stand under the trees and enjoy the sakura that fell on his head.
But there is something more amazing than all that. Something that made Orlando distrust his vision.
The figure turned his back, walking leisurely not far in front of his car while carrying something. Orlando asked the driver to turn the car down as he passed the figure.
Just making sure that his vision is not wrong. Because posture is also silvery hair it belongs only—
Orlando hurriedly opened the seatbelt and slammed the door. A little run to catch next to the pale-skinned woman's arm.
“Hei! What is—“ Selena turned around and her two eyes automatically rounded. He hoped that it was all just a dream. But the grip on his arm was too real. The man was not just a delusion.
Orlando could not hide his smile even though he was still confused about how Selena could exist in Japan and walk alone without anyone being escorted.
Hopefully his hunch this time is right.

Selena opened the door of her house and looked at Orlando hesitantly before allowing the man to enter.
“You....really not going to tell this to anyone, right?”
Orlando nodded slowly. “If it's related to Eros, you don't have to worry.” His eyes focused on the white-painted mini malis house. Small but looks very warm and comfortable. “You know for yourself I'm not very familiar with it.”
Selena sighed softly. “Good. Please sit down, I'll get you a drink.” The woman rushed towards the kitchen while carrying her groceries.
Orlando sat on the living room sofa without letting go of his gaze on the contents of the room. He guessed, did Selena put her things alone? Being used to living without a family, it must be a job that is not too difficult for him. Yep. Selena was very independent and Orlando became even more amazed at her.
But...
“For autumn like this warm tea is best.” Selena came up with a tray containing a small teapot and two cups of saucer. The woman sat across from Orlando's seat after putting the tray down and pouring tea for the man.
Not mean brash, but Orlando realized that there was a different shape of Selena's body, especially in the abdomen that looks a little more distended than usual.
Could it...?
Selena glanced at Orlando from behind the cup of tea she was sipping. The woman's eyebrows shot up when she noticed the intense gaze of the bespectacled man. “What's up?”
Orlando gnawing. The man smiled slightly as he grabbed the cup and finished his tea in one gulp. “Just didn't expect to see you here.” And then he realized, that between the fingers Selena was no longer embedded a ring. “So...what really happened?”
Orlando never wanted to know about the lives of others, but Selena seemed to have something that made him interested in knowing the ins and outs of the woman.
Selena placed her cup carefully, as she arranged the string of sentences in her head carefully as well. “I just want to start a new life,” he said with a faint smile.
"started?" Next to Orlando's thick eyebrows raised.
Does that mean that Selena has been unhappy as she thought?
Selena again poured tea on the cup in front of Orlando after tucking the strands of her hair behind her ears. "Sometimes, you do have to make a decision even if the choice is very difficult." When pouring tea his movements look very graceful. "I want to learn from the past and fix it before it's too late."
The woman's words held many meanings.
Orlando swallowed. "Selena," he called her solemn. Make Selena quickly raise her head and put her little pot. "Do you..love Eros?"
Orlando just wanted to make sure, because what he had been paying attention to was never as beautiful as what people said even though Eros and Selena were tied up in a marriage.
Long Selena fell silent while looking at him, until then the woman took her eyes off. "Yes." he said making Orlando stunned. But Selena looked back at him with a bland smile. "...five years ago I loved him."
