Chapter 86
“Huh?
I muttered but Eros had turned around and was walking towards the car. I stayed there, rooted to the spot as he went towards the car that the driver had already brought outside.
Eros only gave me a side eye <b>and </b>I promptly climbed down the small flight of stairs before running towards him.
I meckly went towards his car, rather one of the cars. His garage was on the right <b>and </b>there were a lot of cars inside that I could <b>not </b>get a glimpse of, but they had all looked shiny and luxurious
He only opened the door of the car and got in the driver’s seat. Turning the <b>ignition </b>on, he steered the car in the direction of
the gate.
He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and kept waiting for me to get in. He didn’t speak to me but simply increased <b>the </b>firing of the car while staring straight ahead.
After staring nervously at him for some time, I slowly stepped inside the car and got in the seat
t next to him.
I closed the door and he didn’t even let me settle in the seat, but simply hit the elerator and drove outside through therge pathway,
“What the” I began but decided to keep shut because I didn’t want him to take out his anger on me.
Eros <b>drove </b>like a madman through the wide streets, and thankfully not many cars dared to get into his <b>way</b>. Not knowing what else to do I found the seatbelt and tried to put it on but fumbled <b>with </b>it because he was driving the car as if we were in some stupid race.
I tried to look outside but the roads seemed blurry and all I could see was a trail of green and brown dotted with some buildings here and there. I ced my hands on the seat and dug my nails into it, hoping that today wouldn’t be the end of
I could see the city lights twinkling from a few feet away and felt relieved that I would not be in this car for more than a few
minutes
I closed my eyes and tried hard not to puke as <b>Eros </b>finally stopped the car outside a shop. The car gave mmed into the seat before he turned off the ignition.
In the next minute, he <b>was </b>out of the car and mmed the door shut, making my <b>cars </b>hurt.
a jolt and I was
He didn’t look at me nor did he even say a word to me but simply stalked off and went into the shop. I took a few minutes to gasp for <b>breath </b>and calm down my raging heart. The speeding had terrified me, and I <b>had </b>a feeling if I told him, Eros would <b>have </b>driven the car even faster,unching it into the sky.
After my heartbeat had calmed down a little, I got outside the car with shaky legs
Everybody in the shop <b>was </b>already standing in front of Eros with their heads bent low and their <b>hands </b>folded in the front. The store manager, a middle aged woman, promptly offered him a <b>chair </b>and gave him a low bow.
She was eyeing <b>him </b>as if he was a delicious candy. And not just her, all the salesgirls in the shop were eyeing him hungrily.
But Eros did not seem fazed by the <b>looks </b>he was getting. He sat on the chair, with his right leg’s ankle resting on the left leg’s knee, and gave them a bored look,
“Hello, my <b>King </b>How can I help you today? She didn’t wait for the King to answer <b>and </b>hurriedly looked at her staff,

“What are you waiting for? Get some refreshments for the King?
<i>The </i>girls who
had <b>been </b>staring dazedly at him ran outside to get him something to drink.
However, he pulled out his phone and began checking something. Meanwhile, I slowly stepped towards the transparent ss door. I had half–opened it and was about to step inside when the woman shouted at me.
“Shoo, go away, the shop is closed for now.”
1 began. “But 1-”
She stomped her feet and came near the door,
“Did you not hear me, you filthy girl? You don’t even have the money to afford a shampoo, forget stepping inside my shop!!”
She red at me and I tried to smoothen my <b>hair </b>to the best of my ability.
“Listen, I came here with-
“Security. Throw her out of my sight!” She mmed the door and the guards came rushing towards me. Eros had been) watching all of this or ignoring all of this, I was not sure what exactly, but he didn’t intervene.
He let the shop owner call me names and only when the security guards were about to touch me did he look up from his phone
“That girl is with me, she needs a phone<b>,</b>”
Upon hearing his words, the security guards promptly stepped <b>away </b>and the woman’s face paled visibly.
“Wh–what?” Eros did not bother rifying and got busy on his phone <b>again</b>. The woman looked at me <b>from </b>head to toe and <b>gave </b>me a disgusted <b>look </b>
“People like you leech off rich people all the time”
Wait? Did she think I was a roadside beggar or a homeless person <b>that </b>Eros took pity on and wanted to gift me something
nicel
I felt hot tears pricking at the back of my eyes but I didn’t want to create a scene. The woman did not apologize and neither did Eros reprimand her for <b>his </b>actions.
I stepped <b>inside </b>the small butvish shop <b>and </b>was immediately hit by the cool AC air and the soft fragrance lingering in the
The sales girls who had run outside to get him something to drink returned carrying chilled bottles of <b>soft </b>drinks.
One of them opened the bottle while <b>another </b>slipped a straw inside it. A third one ced it on serving tray and held
it in front of him.
“Sir, please <b>have </b>some refreshments. She said, blushing hard. The girl <b>was </b>bending a little, giving him a peek of her boobs as
the of her shirt was open
Eros didn’t even bother looking at her and picked up the bottle from the tray and took a sip. Her face fell but she stepped aside merkly while the shop owner <b>began</b><b>. </b>
“Show this girl some cheap and basic phone <b>for </b>her to use. <b>This </b>kindhearted man decided to gift her a phone.”
At that
the girls stared at Eros with even more appreciation and I rolledory eyes. Technically, I <b>was </b><b>not </b>paying for the phone but

then I didn’t ask for one
OK号77%
He was letting them humiliate me while he was behaving as if he did not even know me. I could not understand what had gotten into him.
One of the salesmen, a young man, who was standing in theer looked at me with pity. He went to the counter as the shopowner barked an order at him<b>. </b>“Show her something <b>cheap</b>!
She then turned to Eros <b>and </b>began asking questions but he mostly ignored her. The salesman gave me a small smile. “So. have <b>you </b>used one before?”
He ced a few small phones <b>with </b>number keys on them and a few that looked like they were made of ss.
I stared at the phones with clenched teeth. <b>Thinking </b>I hadn’t used them before, he offered to help and started speaking
“Nowadays, touchscreen phones aremon. They are in vogue as well <b>and </b>very good.” he said. Then he exined the functions, and scribbled something on a piece of paper and pushed it towards me
Confused. I looked at the paper, but he ced a hand on it and pretended to be showing me the features of another phone.
| looked around and saw that Eros was still busy with the shop owner and the girls gushing over him.
The salesman was a young boy, almost my age<b>, </b><b>and </b>he seemed decent to me. I slowly picked up the note and opened it after confirming <b>that </b>nobody was looking at me.
When I opened the note, there was a question on it. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Are you in trouble?”
My gaze flitted to him and he looked at me with concern. I looked back at Eros and felt unsure of the answer.
I was not in real trouble but it felt like Eros was tired of me and didn’t <b>want </b>me around. The salesman saw the way my <b>eyes </b>nervously traveled to Eros before the salesman lowered <b>his </b>voice
“My name is Luke. What’s yours?”
I replied, “Eden
“Eden, nice name. So, I think the way he is treating you means you did note here willingly with him. You seem like a nice person. If you want my help. I will help you.”
I also <b>lowered </b>my voice, “Well, I would like to have a fresh start and find some answers to some questions I have. Anyways. I wish to go to the nearest city but don’t really <b>have </b><b>a </b>lot of money
Luke gave me a smile, “I understand. Rich brats always make poor girls suffer. But don’t worry, I will get you out of this.”
He reached for my hand, and gave me a reassuring squeeze, then he slipped a few <b>more </b>pieces of paper toward me. It was five hundred dor bill.
A stranger giving me this much? I pushed them <b>back </b>at him but he ced his hand on mine, forcing me to tuck it away in my pockets.
Then he returned to his normal voice and added, “So, I will <b>pack </b><b>this </b>phone for you, is that <b>okay</b>?”
I answered loudly “<b>Yes </b>sure”
He then looked at Eros, “Our store also has soure schemes on site cards. Which one would you like to have? Fill this form for us, pleaser”

Luke handed me a form and a pen while lowering his voice, “Add your name, and ce of residence here. I will make arrangements to take you out of that wretched <b>ce</b>”
Not wretched, but yeah, I needed to get this life together. <b>I </b>answered him “Thanks <b>a </b>lot”
But before I could begin filling out the form. Eros got up from his chair and came to <b>stand </b>beside me.

He didn’t say a word but grabbed that form and filled it on my behalf. Luke only gave me a side–eye, signaling me to stay put, while he prepared the bill.
While Eros was filling out the form, he ced his phone on the counter. And I did not want to pry but a message popped up
on <b>IL </b>
<b>Olivia</b>: How long will it take you? I can’t wait anymore.
I pretended not to see it as <b>he </b>signed the form and tore it off the notepad. His actions made it clear that he had used me, and did not want <b>me </b>anymore.
So, I should really go somece else and learn to be a better wolf on my own. And just maybe in that solitude, I would find
While he was handing over the pen and the notepad back to Luke, another message of hers popped up.
Olivia: Will you please wear white today?
I tried not to imagine if they were going on a date or something with the way she <b>was </b>behaving-
I pushed the hurt aside. Maybe, it was a perfect opportunity for me to avoid my Ex–mate and Sister’s union…
I was going to leave. I wasn’t sure I was ready to stay anymore in his house, <b>and </b>let him treat me like I don’t matter.
