Chapter 33

Freshia Ava’s POV

Eros helped wipe my tears and straighten my clothes and appearance. Slowly I felt hatred begin to creep into my heart. I immediately brushed his hand away and went to open the door. However, his hand was quicker to stop my steps. He then walked ahead of me while pulling my hand.

From the intercom, we could see Amara at the door of my apartment unit. But when I was about to open my mouth to scream, as if he could read my mind, Eros immediately covered my mouth with his hand. He also wrapped his arms around my neck from behind.

Then he whispered. “I know all about Amara and her family. If you can't get him to leave here immediately, or even make him suspicious, I'll make sure Amara and her family won't be able to live in peace again in the future." After that, Eros let me go.

I am very scared. Because I know what he said was not a joke after seeing his true personality. I tried to take a deep breath before opening the door and tried to act normal.

Amara was so shocked when she saw my condition, which looked pale with puffy eyes. “Freshia, are you okay?” she asked immediately. Her eyes showed extreme worry.

“I just have a cold, Amara. I also had a fever earlier, but now it's better."

Then suddenly Eros appeared from behind me with a cup of hot tea to give me. I accepted it immediately. Then he smiled at Amara and greeted her.

“Hi, nice to meet you, Amara. It seems like we just met now, huh? Let me introduce myself, I'm Eros." He said as he stretched out his hand towards Amara.

Amara looked a little confused, but then she immediately returned Eros' outstretched hand. “Yes, I'm Amara. That means Eros is still with you, right?" Amara asked me.

“Yes, I was worried about the condition of Freshia who suddenly asked me for help earlier. So, I decided to accompany him.” Eros said.

Really now I'm sick of all the lies that come out of his mouth.

“But, are you really feeling better, Freshia?” Amara asked while checking my body temperature by placing her hand on my forehead. “Yes, it's not that hot anymore. But it looks like you need rest because you look very pale. Or do you want me to take you to see a doctor, Freshia?” Amara said again.

"No need. I called my personal doctor earlier to come here immediately. Freshia just needs to rest now.” Eros said in a tone that sounded less than friendly.

"Well, why are you the one controlling us? I know you're Freshia's neighbor, but I was talking to my friend, why did you decide?" Amara said suddenly. Amara is that kind of person. She does not hesitate to oppose people who in her opinion deserve to be opposed.

I saw the tension between the two of them and immediately intervened. I'm afraid Eros will lose his patience, and so will Amara. Therefore, I immediately grabbed Amara's hands so that her attention would shift to me.

“Amara, I'm really fine. You don't need to worry. Like you said, I just need a lot of rest. Now my head feels dizzy again. Thank you for paying attention to me. But you can go home Amara, because you think I will sleep all day. Eros will also return to his apartment."

Amara looked at me. "Okay, if that's what you want. But, don't forget to contact me if anything happens to you. I'll come right away if you need me, Freshia.”

She said then. After that, she immediately hugged me tightly. “I don't really like Eros, Freshia. I hope you don't get too close to him.” Amara whispered to me in the middle of her arms. After that, she let go of the hug and said goodbye to go home.

I was still looking at Amara until the elevator door she was taking closed, then at the same time Eros immediately grabbed my hand to go inside and locked the door again. “Good job, darling. I would really be very happy if you continued to obey my orders like before." Eros said as he stroked my cheek.

"I really want to rest, Eros," I said, then walked towards the room. I saw Eros also following me, but I let him be because I felt he would lower his supervision of me if I continued to obey his orders. Then if it's like that, I will take my cell phone and call the police.

Eros Robinson's POV

Finally, that time came. Where he will graduate and I will carry out my plan to lock her up in my real home. But before all the preparations were completely finished, I still had to lock her up in this small apartment. In fact, I really can't wait to take her to my main house.

That night, after successfully driving Amara out of this place, Freshia said that she wanted to rest. I obeyed and immediately followed her into the room. She lay down on the bed, while I sat on the bench which was also in her room, near the end of the bed, so I could observe her from a distance.

Freshia looked uneasy. She changed her body position several times, trying to find comfort. I just smiled seeing her behavior. A few minutes later, her movements stopped. It seemed she had found the right position. After seeing her start to fall asleep, I immediately left the room and decided to make a drink in the kitchen by leaving her cell phone in the drawer next to her bed.

I also did it on purpose because I wanted to know whether she had truly surrendered or still wanted to rebel. So I watched the CCTV in her room on my cell phone. I almost laughed when I saw her get up and take her cell phone from the top of the drawer. I know for sure, it won't be that easy to melt and subdue her.

I immediately opened the cell phone, tapped the application on my cell phone, and then saw that she was going to call 911. When I saw her, I immediately went to her room. She looked so surprised when I opened the door to her room. Then her face looked even more stunned when she saw me showing her the eavesdropping application on my cellphone which brought up a display screen that was the same as the display on her cellphone, showing a call to 911.

"You? Did you tap my cell phone?" She said with suddenly rising anger. "You're really crazy, Eros!"

I just smiled while blinking one of my eyes. "You really think I'll just let you go? I'm not stupid, Freshia. I can tell what's fake and what's not. You pretended to obey me in order to lower my control over you, didn't you? I know your plan, Freshia.”

Then I took her cell phone by force and smashed it on the floor hard. “You really can't be heartless, Freshia. So from now on you have to say goodbye to that cell phone because in the future, I won't let you contact anyone again."
