Chapter 61

Freshia Ava's POV

After Amara left, Martin and I sat in the television room. I had just finished helping him to treat the bruises on his body. Then in the silence between the two of us, Martin began to speak. "Freshia, what has Eros done to you?" He asked suddenly which made me very surprised. But I quickly tried to neutralize myself again.

“I know his temperament quite well. Eros is a temperamental person. I'm sure he's been rude to you at least once, right?” Martin continued to tease me.

"Yes, he often yells at me." My answer is short. But it seemed Martin didn't just believe my words. Because he was still looking at me searchingly.

“Be honest with me, Freshia,” Martin said again. Makes me take a breath.

"What would you do if you found out what Eros had done to me, Martin? Anyway, that's all in the past. Besides, I thought you really didn't want to talk about it anymore.” I replied while tidying up the first aid box used to treat Martin previously.

"I intend to repay him for all his actions so that he can feel what he did to the people he hurt."

“There's no point in taking revenge, Martin. Indirectly, it will only make you the same as him."

"You don't know what Eros did to my mother, Freshia."

When I heard what Martin just said, I turned towards him. Seeing those eyes filled with anger. I was just silent, confused about what to answer. I'm afraid I'll hurt him again if I ask questions about his personal life.

"You want to know what my true relationship with Eros is, right?" he asked. Martin turned to me and our eyes met. "Eros and I were born from the same womb. Yes, he is my biological older brother," he said later. Then Martin turned his gaze in any direction.

“But our parents separated when I was still in the womb. My mom left my father and Eros when Eros was seven years old because my father was temperamental. The reason my mom didn't bring Eros was because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to support us. Not to mention that at that time my mom had to prepare for my birth which would definitely require a lot of money. "Actually, my father and his family were very well-off people, but my mom didn't want to take and use my father's money at all when he ran away at that time." Martin was silent for a moment.

"And this is where my mom lived after she no longer lived with my father and this is where she raised me alone. This is the only property my mom owns after successfully collecting the money my father gave her.” Martin said again.

Martin's story just now indirectly clarified the truth about what Eros had told him about his past. About his mother who just left him and he had to live with his temperamental father. "Then where is your father now? And from then until now, have you ever met again? Or my mom who met Eros?" I asked, starting to get curious.

Martin shook his head. “My father is dead. And Eros never wanted to see my mom, nor did I. If it had been an accident, Eros and I wouldn't have met either. Eros really hates us. I knew it was very possible considering what my mom had done to him before. But that doesn't justify him doing evil things to my mom, right?”

"Did Eros do something like that just like that and without reason?”

Hearing my question made Martin turn back to me and look at me deeply. Then he seemed to exhale. "Actually, it all started when he also found out that I was approaching you. Eros started to go too far when I was still interfering in his problems related to you, Freshia."

"Does it mean?" I demanded an explanation of his words which I didn't really understand.

"When the incident happened at your old apartment, where someone wanted to break into your apartment, as I told you, it was Eros' doing. Until finally I went to see him directly in his office and I threatened him to tell you. From there he started using my mom as a threat. He said that if I interfered with his problems, he wouldn't hesitate to do something to my mom. You need to know that my mom has a weak heart disease, Freshia. And Eros used my mom's illness to threaten me." Martin answered.

"Then did he really hurt your mom?" I asked for the umpteenth time.

“Freshia, actually I managed to find you at the hospital when you were being treated at that time. I just came into your room and will help you get out of the hospital. But suddenly I got a call that my mother, who had just been out of the hospital for a week, had to go back to the hospital because her heart disease had recurred. Indeed, Eros had previously warned me and told me that he had done something to my mom. It turned out to be true that he had previously contacted my mom, causing her to have a heart attack. I don't know for sure what he said to make my mom like that, but I can already guess that he must be talking about the past and blaming my mom again." Martin explained everything to me.

“I'm sorry about what happened to your mom. So how is it now?"

“She is much better and can return home. I've asked the guard not to give her her cell phone except when I call because I'm afraid Eros will call her again and cause her heart disease to return. That's also why I was able to come back here and help you get out of that house, Freshia.”

“But I'm still worried about what Eros will do, Martin. Wouldn't it be better for you to go back abroad to look after your mother?"

“I'll definitely come back later, but not now, Freshia. The wounds on my face and body have not disappeared and it is impossible for me to meet my mom in this condition. But don't worry Freshia. Remember what Amara said, it's better not to worry too much about what hasn't happened yet. I tried to organize and prepare everything before attacking Eros yesterday." Martin replied, trying to calm me down again.

However, the worry did not disappear from my heart. I really can't predict what Eros will do now or in the future. Judging from his character, he will definitely use a thousand methods to get what he wants, including bringing me back to him.

In the deepest part of my heart, I can also predict his deep disappointment because I ran away after he started to show his sincerity in wanting to change again. What will it be like when we meet again? I thought. I can't imagine how angry he will be with me when we meet again. But a split second later my mind started thinking again. Or maybe he will just leave me because he hates me? Could it be that he threw me out of his life because he left him?

Suddenly a ringtone came from Martin's cell phone. He immediately picked it up. I saw his facial expression suddenly change when he heard the words of the person who contacted him. "Continue to follow them and make sure Amara is okay." Martin then exclaimed, making my heart suddenly start beating fast. What happened to Amara?
