Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 264
Eros and Selene were being carried away by their feelings, forgetting that they were on the balcony. Eros continued kissing Selene when they heard someone clearing her throat.
Eros stopped and turned around to see the newcomer. He suddenly felt annoyed after seeing the woman standing at the entrance of the balcony. It was Micaela.
She visited Selene today to spy on her. She was shocked to see Eros kissing Selene.
‘Does it mean she is cheating on Renz?’ Micaela thought to herself, her eyes sparkling with delight.
She found the perfect alibi to keep Renz’s company. She was planning to create a conflict between the two. She is already plotting what she would do next.
‘I should inform Renz about this. I’m glad I took a picture of them as evidence,’ Micaela smiled inwardly.
But little did she know, Selene already told Renz about her feelings for Eros, also known as Gabriel. She already broke up with Renz so nothing wrong with being intimate with Eros now.
Before Eros sat up straight, Selene whispered something to him. He just looked at her meaningfully, understanding her motive.
Soon, Selene and Eros got up and fixed their position on that long rattan chair.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to see that,” Micaela muttered, pretending to be bothered by what she had seen.
“Gabriel, can you prepare some snacks for Micaela, please?”
Eros just nodded his head before standing up and entering the house. Selene made Eros leave so that she could talk to Micaela alone.
When Eros was gone, Selene invited Micaela to sit beside her. She gladly complied, sitting on Selene’s right side.
“Micaela, about what you see-”
Selene was not yet done speaking when Micaela cut her off immediately.
“Don’t worry Selene. I’ll keep my mouth shut. I won’t tell anyone… including Renz.”
Micaela thought Selene would request her not to tell Renz about what she had witnessed so she immediately pretended that she wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
But Selene already saw through her. She knew that Micaela would try to tell Renz thinking that she was cheating on him. This way she would gain favor from him.
Selene pursed her lips, fighting a smile. She had no plan of correcting Micaela’s wrong assumption. She didn’t want to tell her that she already broke up with Renz.
She wanted to protect Renz against Micaela so she would let him see Micaela’s true color. Selene already guessed that her fake best friend would try to use this to get closer to Renz, seducing him during her darkest moment.
Since Renz was heartbroken, he could be easily swayed once Micaela would comfort him. Selene didn’t want that to happen. So letting Micaela create a conflict between them, Renz would know that this was Micaela’s ill-motive.
He should not fall into her trap. That’s the only way she could protect him so that the event in her precious life would not happen again in this lifetime.
Micaela intentionally avoided the topic of the relationship between Eros and Selene. She was making them believe that her loyalty was to her best friend, Selene.
So even if she was cheating on her fiancee, Micaela would never tell Renz. That’s how very good Micaela’s acting was, no wonder Selene was deceived by her, thinking she was her real friend.
“Why are you here?” Selene decided to open up a conversation with her. The atmosphere was already awkward because of their silence.
Selene could no longer act the same as before. Everything had changed between them.
“I’m just visiting my best friend. It’s been a long time since the last time we bond together. I miss you.”
Selene did not know how to feel about this. Hearing her calling her best friend felt so weird.
‘She is really good at lying and pretending. If I didn’t know the truth, I would have been fooled again by her sweet-talks.’
Selene just managed to flash a smile, trying to make it look natural, not forced.
“I miss you too. I’m sorry. Lots of things are going on in my life. I don’t have time to enjoy myself and hang out with my best friend. I promise I will make it up to you… but not today.” Selene sounded too friendly. If Micaela was good at acting, Selene would not lose to her.
She even hugged Micaela. “Micaela, thank you for everything. For those moments, you are always there for me.”
Selene was saying this to have closure with Micaela. She would not let herself be fooled again by her.
Micaela smiled but behind that smile was an evil intent. She was getting used to betraying Selene. She was not hesitating anymore. She didn’t care even if Selene might get hurt in the end.
‘Hmm, It’s easy to lure Renz now. I will replace Selene soon. Besides, Selene already chose Gabriel over Renz. Jackson and I will not worry about their companies joining forces together.’
Micaela assumed that they were winning, thinking that it would just be a matter of time before getting their revenge. Selene was now alone. She would not pose a threat to them.
Now, they would be focusing on Renz and his family. Mr. M was planning to acquire the Chou Empire, bringing the downfall of the Chou Family.
“Selene, I must go now. I just remembered that I need to meet my classmates about our training this week.”
Micaela just said that as an alibi. Deep inside, she was excited to see Renz.
“Okay, I will not keep you long then. Thank you for dropping by. Let’s hang out next time.”
Selene felt relieved that Micaela was leaving. She had another plan today with Eros. They had a date so she couldn’t entertain her fake best friend.
Micaela said goodbye to Selene. Eros came back holding the tray of snacks but Micaela was already walking towards the gate.
“Is she leaving right away?” Eros asked Selene.
A wide smile appeared on her beautiful face before nodding her head. “Yes! She’s leaving so she will not disturb us anymore. Shall we do our bucket list now, my angel?”
Eros bobbed his head frantically. Of course, he would love to do that.
“Should I start with my last bucket list?” Eros’s lips tugged upward in a cheeky grin. He was talking about making love with her.
“You, Naughty!”
