Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 229
The dark soul didn’t expect that he would get caught just like that. It seemed that he fell into the trap.
“Who are you?” The dark soul asked the man who spoke up from behind.
“You don’t need to know. Now, I shall bring you back to the Netherworld for interrogation!”
“No!!! I can’t leave just yet! There’s something I need to do!” The dark soul tried to struggle but couldn’t escape.
“Don’t force yourself. You will just get tired. You need your energy to answer all my questions. And don’t worry about Selene. She will join you in the Netherworld soon. The two of you will reunite!”
The dark soul was dumbfounded after hearing that.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean Selene and I will reunite? Will she die again?” The dark soul couldn’t believe it. He felt like all his effort would go in vain if Selene would die again.
“No! My Selene should not die! She deserves to live longer!” The dark soul became more aggressive. He wanted to go wild.
“Selene should have died already! If not because of the grim reaper and cupids who bring her back alive! I will just take her back to the place she should belong to.”
“No!!! It’s my fault! It’s my fault that she died! It was an accident! It was not her time to die yet! Don’t kill her. Don’t kill my Selene!”
Zaki could only smile wickedly. He was already pissed by this dark soul. Everything was in a mess because the dark soul escaped from the Netherworld.
“Come with me. I will listen to your words in the Netherworld! You are no longer allowed to wander in this human world!” Zaki tightened the golden rope that was restraining the dark soul.
This was going to be a long talk between the dark soul and him. He needed to know the motive why the dark soul escaped.
In just a blink of an eye, Zaki and the dark soul disappeared from the Anderson Family Mansion. He just found himself being dragged by Zaki in a portal going back to the Netherworld.
Zaki brought the dark soul into the interrogation hall.
“Now, show me your true form,” Zaki ordered the dark soul in his authoritative voice. He needed to confirm the dark soul’s identity.
“I will tell you everything! But please… spare Selene’s life. Don’t hurt her! Don’t kill her.” The dark soul begged.
Zaki would not be swayed by the dark soul’s desperate plea. He would do what he thought was right for everyone. If he had to take Selene’s life just to bring everything back to normal, then he would do it.
“I don’t have an obligation to fulfill your wish. I am a grim reaper! Someone already wished for Selene’s life and the cupids already fulfilled it. This time, I will not let them meddle with the grim reaper’s task,” Zaki said firmly.
“You can’t do that to Selene! Her life was a blessing from the Mother Angel of cupids! Who gives you the right to take it away?!”
Zaki let out a sinister laughter. “Do you think the cupids will protect Selene even if it means another cupid will bear the consequence for her? I know Sienna. She will not let a cupid’s life be in danger just because of a human!”
“What are you saying?! I can’t understand. Why are they letting you kill an innocent soul!”
“Because if Selene will not die! A cupid will die on her behalf! Both of them committed a forbidden act! Do you think Sienna will allow her favorite cupid to be sacrificed just for Selene to stay alive?”
The dark soul could no longer take this. “Stop! I don’t believe you! My Selene should live longer! Just take me. Punish me all you want. Just leave her alone! She is about to get her happy ending together with the man she loved! Don’t ruin it! Please don’t ruin it!”
The dark soul became hysterical. He couldn’t allow Selene to get hurt or die.
“Please, Supreme Leader, Zaki! Have mercy on Selene!”
The dark soul already found out Zaki’s identity the moment they came back to the Netherworld.
“I don’t have time to waste. Let’s stop talking about Selene. Let’s talk about you, dark soul! Who are you?! Why did you escape? Where is the soul that you killed? Until now, it’s missing!”
The dark soul fell on his knees, begging and crying in front of Zaki.
“I told you I will answer everything you want to know! Just leave Selene alone. Don’t hurt her.”
Zaki massaged his temples. This dark soul was very persistent and stubborn.
“Don’t wait for me to use brute force just to make you speak! If you don’t want to show your true form, then let me do it for you!”
Zaki had already reached the limit of his patience. He wanted to deal with this dark soul once and for all. Without wasting any more time, he released his scythe and plunged the tip of it on the dark soul’s forehead.
The dark soul screamed as he felt an excruciating pain. Then the dark soul was surrounded by red lights, making the dark soul transform to its true form.
It did not take long when Zaki finally unleashed the dark soul’s true form and he recognized its real face.
Zaki was shocked beyond belief after seeing the dark soul’s face.
“You!!? You are the escaped soul… Selene’s grandmother… Elysa?!”
Zaki had confirmed his suspicion. It seemed that Sienna’s assumption was not wrong. The soul that escaped the Netherworld and the soul who made a wish for Selene’s sake was the same person. Selene’s Grandmother Elysa.
Grandma Elysa’s aged face and the sadness in her eyes, Zaki could see everything clearly.
“Why? Why did you escape? You are supposed to enter heaven at that time! Why didn’t you go up peacefully? Why did you have to ruin everything?” Zaki bombarded her with so many questions.
“I… I can’t leave my granddaughter behind.”
