Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 232

Selene just watched Renz walk away. She had the urge to follow him but her feet didn’t move. Renz needed some time alone to absorb everything.

She was sad because they had to end things like this. Renz told her indirectly that he already had feelings for her. It was more than the love of a sibling.

But Selene could no longer ignore her true feelings. The one her heart was missing right now was none other than Eros. The one her heart wanted to see and to be with was Eros.

However, Selene didn’t know if she was doing the right thing. Eros was an angel. Was it really okay to love an angel like him?

Selene started shedding tears. She didn’t want to hurt Renz but she couldn’t pretend anymore. She felt like she cheated on him several times whenever she would kiss Eros.

She had to stop this relationship so that she would not be unfair to Renz anymore. She knew that Renz’s scandal video was not the only reason she made this decision.

‘Should I have confronted him about the video? But there is no point in talking about it. I already made up my mind. And it has nothing to do with the video, but my real feelings.’

Selene felt like a thorn in her heart had been lifted when she became honest with Renz. She hoped they could still continue being friends.

But there was something she was afraid of. What would happen to Eros and her? They had a contract and Eros already fulfilled his mission since Renz already fell for her.

Selene remembered the rule. If Eros had completed his mission, he had to leave her. Once he left, Selene would no longer remember Eros. He would be erased from her memory. Selene didn’t want that to happen!

“Is Eros not coming back anymore? Does he know that Renz already likes me, that’s why he hasn’t returned until now?”

Selene’s heart was filled with anxiety just thinking about this. With a sad and gloomy expression, Selene entered the house. She felt empty knowing that Eros was not there.

“Eros… when are you coming back? I missed you already.” Selene mumbled.

She felt sad and lonely. She took a risk for this, letting go of Renz.

She just decided to lay down on her bed as she gathered her thoughts. Everything between Renz and her would change starting tomorrow. She wondered how she would face his parents and Grandpa Ivan.

The Chou family had been helping her since she was Renz’s fiancee. But now that she asked Renz to break off the engagement, she didn’t know how Chou Family would react.

Selene drifted off to sleep just thinking about her relationship with Renz and Eros. She hoped that Renz would not hate Eros.

Meanwhile, Levi and Azrael went back to the mansion. The place was very quiet. There was no sign of Renz. They wondered what happened between Renz and Selene.

“Hey Levi, do you think a confession happened?” Azrael asked Levi.

Levi shook his head. Based on his experience, if a confession worked out then Renz should have stayed over. But by the look of it, Renz went home instead of staying with Selene tonight.

“I think what happened here is the opposite of what we are thinking,” Levi said, feeling a little bit disappointed.

Azrael nodded his head. Even he could sense the gloomy atmosphere around the house.

“Sigh, what happened to Eros? I hope he returns already. This place feels weird and different without his presence.”

Levi could only sigh deeply. He had no idea what happened to Eros as well.

‘Did Mother Sienna assign him an important mission? Why hasn’t he come back yet?’ Levi also asked himself.

Levi went to Selene’s room, checking on her. He could see that she was already sound asleep.

“Did Selene cry?” Levi pondered as he saw Selene’s puffy eyes.

Levi decided to leave her room as he didn’t want to disturb her sleep. When Levi left, Selene started to talk in her sleep. She was dreaming about Eros.

Selene saw Eros being tied down. It seemed that Eros was punished by someone. He was injured. Several bruises could be seen in the different parts of his body, including his face.

“Eros… what happened to you?” Selene asked him worriedly.

She wanted to come over but she couldn’t get near him. There was a barrier and she couldn’t pass through. Eros was unconscious and he was tied inside a golden cage.

Selene started to cry seeing his sorry state.

“Eros… wake up! Wake up! Are you alright! Please answer me. Eros? Who did this to you?”

Selene continued pounding the barrier using her fists. She wanted to get Eros out of that cage.

It did not take long when Eros finally opened his eyes. He smiled the moment he saw Selene’s face.

“Eros…”

“Selene…”

Eros tried to struggle. He wanted to come out of the cage and hug Selene.

“Eros… I miss you. Are you alright?”

“Selene… I miss you too.”

“Eros please… come back to me… I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Eros’s heart constricted seeing Selene cry. “I’m sorry, Selene. Please don’t cry. Just wait for me a little bit longer. I will come back to you…”

Eros’s words held some promises. Selene wanted to believe and wait for him. She wanted to touch and hug him. She knew he was hurting and suffering miserably because of his injury.

But Eros still managed to smile at her, reassuring her.

Then suddenly a grim reaper arrived and entered Eros’s cage.

Selene started to panic when the grim reaper raised his scythe.

“What are you doing? Who are you? What are you going to do to Eros?” Selene shouted, catching the attention of the grim reaper.

The grim reaper turned to Selene. There was a mocking smile on his face as he looked at her.

“Human… Remember this. It was your fault that this heavenly being was being punished!”

“No! Selene, don’t listen to him! It’s not your fault!” Eros cut the grim reaper off.

Then a sarcastic laugh reverberated in the area. The grim reaper was laughing at them.

“Human, watch how your beloved cupid will be killed because of you. He will lose his life for breaking heaven’s rule because of you!”

Selene got frozen in her spot. Her eyes were wide open. She couldn’t utter some words. She was trying to digest the grim reaper’s words.

She was so afraid of Eros’s safety.

“What have I done wrong? Why are you punishing Eros? Please don’t hurt him anymore. Please tell me. What should I do for him to get his freedom? You said it’s my fault! So I am willing to do anything. Just let him go!” Selene demanded with her desperate voice.

The grim reaper let out another sarcastic laugh. Then he threw a dagger on Selene’s side.

“Do you really want to save this cupid? If you do then pick up the dagger and plunge it into your heart. Kill yourself! Are you willing to die for him to live?”

“No! No, Selene! Don’t listen to him!” Eros started to scream. He was worried and afraid.

“Selene, no! Just leave… you are not safe here. Go! Go back, Selene!” Eros was begging her.

Tears already flowed down her cheeks. Selene looked at the dagger on her feet. She picked it up and watched Eros with eyes filled with love.

“Will you let him go? Will you not hurt him anymore?” Selene asked the grim reaper. Her grip on the dagger tightened.

“No! No Selene. Don’t do this! I want you to live! Don’t worry about me! I’m just fine. Nothing will happen to me. Don’t listen to him.”

“Yes, I promise… I will let him go in exchange for your life.” The grim reaper said, ignoring Eros.

Eros tried his best to untie the rope that was binding him. He was worried that Selene would do something crazy again just to save him.

The dagger was glowing in her hands. She darted her gaze back and forth between Eros and the dagger in her hand.

The grim reaper was patiently waiting for Selene’s decision.

“Selene, remember this… only one between the two of you will live. Now choose wisely. I can only take one soul. It’s either you or him.”

“Selene, please don’t do this. I… I will die if you will die! Don’t listen to him.”

Selene gave him a reassuring smile. “I’m sorry, Eros. If this is my fault, then I have to fix this. You can’t die because of me. I am the one who broke our contract… I should pay the price.”

“Selene, No!!!” Eros screamed as he saw Selene raising the dagger.

When Selene was about to stab her heart, Eros was able to untie the rope. With his remaining strength, Eros snatched the scythe on the grim reaper’s hand.

Without wasting any more time, Eros used the scythe to stab his own heart.

“Erosss! NOOO!” Selene screamed in horror.
