Trapped With The Devil

Section 56

Nightmares.

Eros. The man blinked while sighing in relief.

Yep. It was a nightmare.

But why has her dream been filled with Selena lately? Selena who went with Orlando, Selena who cried in front of both graves of her parents, Selena yang—

“Ungh..”

Is correct. Selena was beside him at this moment. The woman looked behind him, displaying a narrow back that was white and flawless smooth. Her hair was unraveling irregularly, but when Eros touched it all felt very smooth.

As Selena returned to moan, Eros pulled the woman into her arms. Touching their skin that is not covered by anything under the covers. Eros always felt like there was an electric shock whenever a part of her body came into contact with Selena's body. And when his hand accidentally touched the woman's stomach, Eros gulped.

Child anak.

Someone who will be worth more than his life. Someone who will grow better than him. Someone he wouldn't allow to go through a difficult time like himself.

He used to think of Selena as just a 'container', but now he feels Selena is more valuable than that. This feeling is not a palpitating feeling like when he fell in love with Emilia, but a comfortable feeling that he never got from anyone—even his own mother.

It is too early to be called love, but the trust he has for the woman is more valuable than love itself.

Yep. Eros believes that Selena can be a good mother to her child— for their child.

Their boy...

Eros hugged the woman tighter. It was as if he wanted to melt the woman into her.

“I'm sorry,” he said with a sad look. “I'm sorry...Selena.”

Eros did not know that the woman was awake. When he closed his eyes again, a drop of tears flowed down his cheek—fall wet the stocky arm of Eros who was hugging him while continuing to recite an apology.

Alex breathed repeatedly. He glanced at Andreas who was sitting next to him and nodded his head.

He glanced back at the building and closed his eyes for a moment before opening the door.

His legs were still hurting, but not as much as his heart when passing through the hallway after the psychiatric hospital.

Alex gulped repeatedly. He looked at the several mental hospital patients who seemed to be around the hallway and looked at him with various expressions. Then as he walked through the bend, the figure appeared with a nurse in white who was pushing him on a wheelchair.

Alex sculpting.

The woman's gaze was blank, even as if unaware of her presence and passing by.

Time seemed to slow down as Emilia passed through her body without even turning her head in the slightest.

Alex's throat was stuck. Heart hurts. The man lowered his head with both hands clenched tightly yet trembling at the same time.

Why is everything like this, Emilia?

Wait for. Alex quickly lifted his head and turned around. There's something strange, the woman's stomach—

“Emilia!”

Everyone who passed by in the hall stopped and looked at her, not least the nurse who pushed the wheelchair occupied by the woman.

Alex tried to run even though his legs were painful.

The nurse nodded with a confused look. “Master?”

Alex ignored the nurse and chose to rest in front of Emilia who was still staring blankly but tears washed her face.

“Emilia.ini me,” Alex said in a soft tone. “Why...why...why did everything go this way..?”.

Tears can no longer be contained. Alex tries to reach for Emilia's pretty face so she can look at her.

“Emilia..”.

The nurse took a few steps back and stared at the scene with reddened eyes. He thought that perhaps the man was the husband of Lady Emilia.

The two eyeballs moved, slowly but surely returning Alex's gaze. Her tears are getting bigger. His thin hand stretched out to touch the big hand that was grabbing his face.

“Alex..” Emilia whispered softly. But then the woman pulled her hand quickly and shook her head in panic. “T-No! You are dead!” His facial expression changed with a frightened look. “YOU ARE DEAD! CAN'T BE! YOU'RE DEAD! YOU ARE DEAD!”

Emilia was hysterical as she grabbed her black hair while Alex could only be stunned at the woman's state.

“ADA GHOST! HELP ME!” Emilia moved around in a wheelchair. “ALEX IS DEAD! I KILLED HIM!”

DEG!

“Mistress, relax..” The nurse rubbed Emilia's shoulder. “No ghosts here.”

“I WANT TO GO TO ROOM! I WANT TO GO TO ROOM!” Emilia screamed hysterically.

“Good. Alright.”

Alex slipping. He just fell silent as he stared at Emilia's departure with the nurse.

Be ill. Heart hurts.

“Cannot..” The man lowered his head and let tears run down the floor below his knees.

But when the sound of knocking shoes sounded behind him Alex looked up again and turned his head.

Madam Swan instantly took a few steps back while covering her mouth with round eyes. “Oh Lord..”.

Eros smiled faintly as he glanced at Selena who was dipping her feet into the pool. The man was standing in front of the window with both hands hidden behind his shorts pocket.

The plan, this afternoon he will take the woman for a walk around the beach and see the sunset.

“You like this place?”

Eros had resisted the temptation not to ask Selena, but somehow her lips seemed unwilling to compromise.

As he expected, the woman looked startled and turned her head towards him with a fierce expression.

“Since when did you stand there?!”

Eros shrugged his shoulders. “Hmm? I don't know.”

Selena turned her face back, choosing to stare at the blue stretch of water before her.

“Hey, you haven't answered my question.” Eros approached and stood beside Selena who was sitting by the pool.

“Like it or not it's none of your business.”

“Why is your answer so timid?”

Selena looked up and glared. “Who is shy?!”

Eros chuckles. “Need once,” he said half muttered.

“I can hear you.”

Eros pretended to cover his mouth with a surprised face. “Oops. Sorry.”

Selena clucking. He stood up and moved past Eros, but the man quickly restrained his right arm.

“What else?” selena said with a lazy look.

Eros smiled slantedly as he brought his lips closer to the woman's ears. “The more days you get..sexi—“.

BYUR!

Eros fell into the pool after Selena pushed the man with blushing cheeks.

Eros came to the surface while rubbing her face and chuckled softly, what else when she saw Selena rushing into the room.

Red lights are annoying, no exception for Steve who is always hunted for time. His fingers tapped on the steering wheel impatiently. Then he sighed again as he remembered Eros who was going out of nowhere—chasing his ‘beloved’ wife who ran away from home—after ignoring the company just like that.

“Indeed b*lucky finger.” Steve chuckled softly after remembering one of his best friends.

His head moved to pay attention to the other vehicle that was also trapped due to the red light. The sky was gray and the air was getting colder as autumn was coming to an end.

Steve blinked a few times before focusing his eyes on the car that was to his right. The ash-colored car window opened and revealed two figures of the man he knew as Andreas and—

ALEX?!
