Trapped With The Devil

Section 58

Alex looked at the tiny baby from behind the incubator. Heart's full. All he could do was touch the glass of the incubator and smile with reddened eyes, holding back a cry.

That's so sorry, that kid. Who is to blame? Sometimes love makes people forget themselves and sink too deep so they do not realize the danger around them. Sometimes love also creates a hate that cannot be removed. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain felt.

Alex promises he will take good care of his son, with love and affection. No need with all the luxuries he used to be.

Andreas rubbed a speck of water out of the corner of his eye. His heart aches to see the man he already regards as his own brother— who usually stands up straight—now looks so fragile and helpless.

“You want to name it?” asked Andreas in a hoarse voice.

Alex smiled bitterly. “Aster William, is that a good name?” his tan is punctuated with a bitter piety.

Andreas quickly nodded. His head was bowed because it was unable to hide the tears that suddenly flowed profusely.

**

Steve huffles. He tried repeatedly to contact Leo, but the man did not answer his call immediately. While Eros has been led to the police station without doing any resistance.

Steve returned to sighing. He clutched his phone while walking like an iron in front of his desk. Then suddenly he remembered someone—who probably took a big role in Eros's arrest. While a little hasty he searched the name of a person's contact on his phone.

After a long wait for his phone to be picked up, someone then replied.

“Halo?”

“Can we meet now?”

**

“Can we meet now?”

Andreas did not answer that question. He glanced at Alex who was still standing in front of the incubator and stared in wonder at him.

Breathing in slowly, Andreas replied, “ya.”

Then the connection is closed unilaterally.

“Who?” ask Alex to be curious.

Andreas licks lips. “Steve.”

It seems like something has already happened.

**

They met at a cafe, near William Enterprise's parent company.

Steve tapped his fingers impatiently on the brown wooden table. It had been a quarter of an hour and Andreas had only been seen entering the cafe in a hasty step. Because the cafe was dominated by glass walls that allowed Steve to see anything outside, he could easily glance at the car that had just delivered Andreas from his seat. Before the window closed, he glanced at Alex in the passenger seat.

“Do you wait long?” Andreas pulls out a chair with a face filled with sweat, even though this is the end of autumn.

Steve straightened his body and took a slow breath. He said that he would not be involved with Eros, but in fact still could not bear to see the man brought by the police earlier.

“Live it, a few hours ago Eros arrested police.”

Andreas swallowed. He had guessed and he understood what Steve was saying. And now he also understands that the man doesn't know about Alex. It seems Eros does intend to keep all of this a secret from anyone.

“Did you report it to the police?” steve asked with a serious expression.

Andreas lowered his head for a moment, before looking up and looking at Steve. “Iya.”

Steve sighed violently and massaged his forehead. “Why...?”

Andreas's jaw is hardened. “You know that Alex is still alive?!” The man closed his eyes. “How could he possibly have faked his own brother's death.”.

“Eros has a reason.”

“What?” Andreas raised his head again. “What reasons made him to have to make a fake funeral in the name of Alex?!”

“Emilia.” Steve gulped.

“It doesn't make sense.” Andrew smiled bitterly. “He shouldn't have made a fake death just to trap Emilia, except... Eros does have other intentions.”

“Other intentions what do you mean?!” said Steve furious.

“Mastered all company assets.”

Steve laughed dryly. “Don't talk anything if you don't know anything about it.”

“I know all about him from Alex.”

Yep. Eros can do anything. But the law will not be immune to even the moneyed.

“Sometimes we have to teach him a lesson,” Andreas— said which made Steve stop the step. “This is for his good as well.”

Steve glaring. “And I said like this for your own good too.”

It's already night. Selena glanced at the clock repeatedly and looked towards the open window.

Why hasn't Eros come home yet?

And why is he so nervous?

Selena bit her lips. The feeling is not good. He sat back on the edge of the bed and sighed softly. His hand grabbed the glass of water that was located on the nightstand and gulped it down slowly.

But his feelings were not calm. It was as if something was making his heart uneasy. Is it all just baby stuff?

Back on her feet, Selena walked towards the door and pulled the wooden object. Eros' man still stands around his room. The man was holding a cell phone and talking to someone.

But the last sentence spoken by the man made Selena sculpt.

"What?! Mr Eros was arrested by the police?!"

Arrested..police?

Wh why?

Selena gulped her saliva feeling her throat suddenly become dry. He didn't hear wrong, did he?

"What..that you say?"

The man looked. His expression showed a shock that could not be hidden. "Mrs..."

"I said what did you say?" selena approached the man impatiently.

The man looked down. "I was just told that Mr. Eros had been arrested by the police."

Selena gnashing. This isn't a dream. But why was Eros arrested by the police? What did that man actually do?

"We need to get there right now." Selena doesn't know why she cares so much. But his feelings really did not feel good after hearing that.

The man looked at him doubtfully. "But Nyonya—" her speech came to a halt when she saw Selena's expression that was so panicked. Sighing softly, the man then nodded resignedly. "alright. I'll get the car ready."

**

"What is Steve talking about?"

Andreas glanced at Alex hesitantly. The man threw his gaze out the car window, staring at the gloomy-looking night sky.

"Actually..." Soon Alex will know this, right?

"What actually?" alex said when Andreas did not continue. The man turned his head with a gaze that had not changed since the man returned to his birthplace.

Andreas bent his body suddenly. "I'm sorry. I've reported Eros because he faked your death."

Alex poached. "What...?"

**

When Selena arrived at the police station, she saw Eros sitting alone in a room after a policeman came out of the room.

The man did not turn his head in the slightest as Selena walked in with slow steps.

But as he got closer to the man, Eros suddenly turned his head with a flat expression. Selena gulped with great difficulty. He was glad that the man was not hurt. But—

"Selena."

Selena stopped her steps. "Yes?"

Eros sighed softly while turning his face away. "Let's get a divorce."

And then Selena realized that her heart was in pain.

Sick because he just realized that he had fallen back to the man.
