Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 258

Selene found Eros backstage. He was arranging and moving the materials back to their boxes. He was just a nobody, compared to Renz who knew everyone there, including those influential men.

He would not be able to help Selene even if he would accompany her in the hall. He would just feel out-of-place since he couldn’t relate with them.

But the most important thing was… the event was successful. He was so proud of Selene. She put so much effort into organizing this event. This was the fruit of her hard work. It paid off well.

He was still keeping the things to their proper places when someone suddenly hugged him from behind.

From her scent, Eros didn’t need to turn around just to find out who was the person behind him. He could tell that it was Selene.

“Eros…” Selene mumbled his name with so much tenderness in her voice.

“Selene…” he called her name as well before turning around to face her.

Selene pounced on him, hugging him tightly as she buried herself in his arms. Eros was taken aback by her actions.

Renz was just there in the main hall, he might see them hugging each other like this once he came over.

But Eros didn’t have the courage to push Selene away. If he were to decide, he preferred to hug her like this.

“Congratulations, Selene. You did a great job!” Eros finally greeted her for her success. He stroked her hair while rubbing her back.

“I succeeded because of you! You gave me strength. You are my inspiration, Eros.”

Eros’s heart started drumming inside his chest. Selene’s simple sweet words were affecting him so much.

“You don’t know how happy I am after hearing those words from you,” Eros mumbled, pulling her closer to his body.

“Eros, let’s leave here. There is something I wanna tell you.”

Eros smiled tenderly before asking Selene to close her eyes. She followed his instructions obediently as she clung to him.

After a few seconds, Eros told her that she could now open her eyes. Then she just found herself floating in the air while Eros was hugging her body.

They were now outside, flying above the sky. The stars were shining brightly under them.

“What is it that you want to tell me, Selene?” Eros asked her with so much curiosity in his eyes.

Selene gazed up to meet his sparkling blue eyes. She was always mesmerized by his beautiful orbs. She felt like she was looking into a clear blue sky.

“Eros… I already broke up with Renz,” Selene said directly without any reservation. She wanted to be direct and frank. Eros deserved to know her true feelings.

On the other hand, Eros was at a loss for words the moment her words entered her ears. He didn’t know what to say nor what to feel at that certain moment.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth gaped. He wanted to ask her but he couldn’t utter a word. He was quite surprised by her revelation.

Selene smiled inwardly seeing the surprised look in Eros’s eyes.

“I guess you never expect to hear this from me. Eros… I already gave up. I don’t want to pursue Renz. Is it okay? Will you be in trouble because of our contract? What will happen to us if I don’t want to continue the mission of winning his heart?” Selene asked Eros spontaneously.

But Eros didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked her with a simple “Why?”

Without breaking their eye contact, Selene answered him truthfully.

“Simply because… I don’t love him anymore.”

Eros became speechless again because of Selene’s straightforward answer. He didn’t know whether to feel happy or not.  But all he knew was that his heart was beating rapidly right now.

He couldn’t explain his feelings but he somehow felt nervous and at the same time excited about something he didn’t know.

“But why?” Eros repeated the same question.

Selene’s lips twitched, fighting a smile. Eros looked very clueless. His expression was so cute and adorable. She wondered how he would react once she confessed her feelings for him.

“I love someone else…”

Eros’s heart raced even faster as Selene was staring at him meaningfully.

Eros mustered up his courage to ask Selene his next question.

“W-Who?” Eros asked her anxiously. He felt like his heart was going to explode from too much anticipation.

His eyes never left hers. Eros held his breath as he waited for her answer.

‘Damn! Why do I feel so nervous? I am the one asking her but I am more tense than her. I feel so weird! Get a grip of yourself, Eros,’ he scolded himself slightly.

After a few seconds, Eros finally heard her most awaited answer.

“It’s You… Eros.”

Eros: “…”

Eros blinked his eyes several times, trying to digest Selene’s words.

‘Wait. Am I hearing it right? Did she just say she broke up with Renz because she didn’t love him anymore? She already loves someone else and that someone is… is me? Is it really Me?’

Eros could hardly believe it. He thought Selene only loved Renz but how come he was hearing these words from her.

“Selene…”

Selene didn’t know whether to cry or laugh because of Eros’s silly reaction. She already confessed to him but he was still in a state of shock like this.

“Did you hear my words, Eros? Are you listening to me?”

“Selene… what did you just say again?” Eros wanted to hear it again just to make sure. What if he was just imagining things?

Selene took a deep breath before speaking again. She raised her hands, cupping Eros’s face.

“Eros… I said that Renz and I had already broken up. I broke up with him because I don’t have feelings for him anymore. I love someone else. And that someone is you, Eros.”

Selene paused for a moment before continuing her next words.

“To sum it up… I like you, Eros. I have feelings for you.”

“Eros… I love you.”

Eros: “….”
