Chapter 25

Eros Robinson's POV

Without Freshia's knowledge, I stuck a bug in her purse when I thought planting a bug and tracker in her cell phone wasn't enough. The bug function was so that I could hear any conversations between her and the people around her.

That night, I secretly visited Freshia again at her apartment unit. Wearing short pajamas that exposed her long legs, she looked very sound in her sleep. I looked at the face of the woman lying in front of me carefully. Last night, that face showed its helplessness to me and I took good care of it all night. But tonight, she was just having dinner with another man behind my back. Making jealousy rise again in me.

Then after that, I remembered what Martin had said earlier when she refused to express her feelings that someone had succeeded in filling the emptiness in her heart. I laughed but a second later I clenched my fists. "You really need to be taught a lesson for playing with me, darling," I said slowly.

I walked closer to her and unbuttoned h3r pajamas one by one to make sure that the mark I left was still there. And sure enough, the red spot was still there on her chest area even though it had started to fade. "You might meet another man while this mark is still on your body," I said back.

Then I gently stroked her entire body, starting from her face, then down her neck, chest, then her flat stomach, then down her thighs to the tips of her feet. Made me take a deep breath and exhale. Passion for my ownership of her is passionate again. No one will ever be able to have it, other than me.

Then, without realizing it, my hand grabbed her unkle. I can no longer hold back my passion and passionate emotions. The feeling of wanting to have her increased over time and my grip became tighter. Disturbing her sleep. I saw her body start to move unsteadily. After that, I decided to immediately rush out of her apartment unit before ehe realized and opened her eyes.

I returned to my apartment unit and entered the room where there were many CCTV monitors. Showing Freshia who was already sitting on her bed. She was fully conscious.

Freshia Ava's POV

I woke up from my sleep in shock. My heart was beating very fast and beads of sweat rolled down my forehead. It feels very uncomfortable. I felt like someone had broken into my apartment unit. I'm absolutely sure. But I didn't find anyone in the room. I sat up from my sleep and gathered my strength and consciousness.

But when my gaze fell on the lower part of my body, I noticed red marks surrounding both of my ankles. What's that? How can there be marks like this on my feet? I thought. I'm pretty sure this red sign didn't exist before. I immediately rubbed my leg gently and the red mark felt a little sore.

In the midst of my confusion, my mind reminded me again that I had to check the entire apartment. Therefore, I immediately got out of bed. But just as I was about to stand up, my body sat down again because of the pain I felt in my ankle. I grimaced a little.

Then try to stand up again very carefully a second time. And it worked. After that, walking slowly, I immediately left the room and started checking all the rooms in my apartment unit one by one.

However, I didn't find anyone or anything suspicious. But my heart still feels uncomfortable. The feeling of fear came over me again. What should I do if someone really breaks into my apartment unit? I thought. This anxiety really tired me and finally, I decided to sit on the sofa in the living room.

My eyes wander aimlessly. My mind was filled with negative things and made my body tremble a little. I'm scared. And at a time like that, the sound of the bell suddenly ringing made me startled.

Previously, I was hesitant to open the door until I finally gathered the courage inside me and tried to look at the intercom camera before opening the door. I found Eros in front of my apartment unit. My heart feels more relieved. I immediately opened the door for him.

“Not asleep yet, Freshia? Sorry to bother you. I just came home and wanted to give this to you.” He said as he handed me a box of chocolate cake.

"What's this? Why suddenly?”

"I was passing by a chocolate shop earlier and suddenly thought of you."

I also took the box that Eros handed me. “Thank you, Eros. I feel your presence is timely. But, can I ask you to stay in my unit for a while? I need a friend."

Eros seemed silent for a moment. “Did something happen?”

"I was actually asleep, but suddenly I woke up because I felt someone come into my room. I checked the whole room but didn't find anyone or anything suspicious. I'm scared, Eros."

“So you need me now? Why don't you ask your other male friends to accompany you?" He said suddenly. Then he looked at me sharply.

I was shocked when I saw that gaze and when I heard what Eros just said. I took a few steps back. That was very unpleasant to hear. Why does Eros talk to me like that? He had never been rude to me before, I thought. "Sorry if I bothered you, Eros.”

But a second later I saw his gaze soften back to me. “Sorry, I apologize for what I said. I didn't mean anything by it, Freshia. I'm just frustrated because I worry too much about you. I'm sorry." He said softly.

"Do you still want me to accompany you? I am happy to accompany you anytime, Freshia,” he said again.

My heart melted and I felt warmth rise to replace the fear I previously felt. His words, his gaze, and his behavior made me feel very appreciated and loved. Have I really fallen in love with him? I said to myself.

"Yes, I still want you to accompany me, Eros," I said, then invited him into my apartment unit.

We sat on the living room sofa after I made two cups of warm honey tea for each of us. "Eros, do you really think that someone came in here earlier?" I said breaking the silence between us at that time.

“No way, Freshia. This apartment is very tightly guarded as you know. So, there was no way anyone could fit so easily into someone else's unit. Maybe it's just a dream and your feelings."

I showed my ankles. The red mark is still clearly printed there. "I remember that before I fell asleep, this red mark wasn't there on my ankle. I'm absolutely sure. But suddenly, after I felt someone else in my room, I immediately woke up and found a sign that someone's grip was on my ankle. I'm confused, Eros."

“I'm sure it was just a dream that felt so real. So don't pay too much attention to it, Freshia.” He said to me, But that didn't completely eliminate the anxiety I had been feeling.
