Kanya POV

My body is like a doll attached by dozens of ropes moved by that man. The strings impacted my body unconsciously, and I could see that I am already sitting in Eros's black sports car.

“Rope?” Seeing my whole body, all the ropes that tied me just now had disappeared, I gave a strange look at Eros in the steering seat. He's as confused as me even though he's moving my body himself. “You!”

“What? What rope?” Eros Darwin even asked me back. His face looked confused, like a completely innocent person.

“I saw the rope move my body just now.”

“You freaky woman! There's no rope. Early in the morning, you screamed about ghosts are now ropes. It would be best to have eyes checked by a doctor or went to a psychiatrist instead. I am giving you sincere advice so that others don't think you are crazy and think of the other neighbors as ghosts.” He said with no guilt. 

Eros Darwin is giving advice that piercing my heart. Just hearing it made me quite sad, and I wanted to rip those sexy lips. I am still sane, and my eyes are not a problem. Earlier I moved like a doll, or is it all just my hallucinations?

“I want to get off!” Honestly, I'm scared if I have to be alone in the car with this strange man. I don't even know his background and even the work of him. “Ah!” 

Before I could open the car door, Eros drove his car with a face full of rejection. He doesn't want me to get out of his car.

“Hey! I said I wanted to get out of the car. Why did you speed up the car?! Stop, I want to get off!” Eros Darwin glanced at me for a moment, then shifted his gaze forward to focus on the steering wheel. I don't know why I feel like he's annoyed at the moment, or it's just me who is too feeling. He continued to drive through the road's crowd since earlier no red lights were blocking the car's speed, so Eros Darwin continued to drive his car to focus on looking ahead without noticing my face, which was now turning white. 

“I'm going to throw up!” I feel nausea. Probably because of my fear of this man next to me and also the speed of the car. Strangely, Eros Darwin drove his car towards Samuel Wijaya's office.

“Noisy!”

My head is dizzy, and I'm getting nauseous. My hands pressed against my stomach area to prevent me from vomiting in Eros Darwin's car. Increasingly, my vision is getting blurry. My eyelids were getting heavier; I could feel my body floating in the air.

The darkness has enveloped the entire place where I was floating. I can feel it even though my eyes are closed—a moment later, a white light bursts out from several gaps. I want to open my eyes, but I still can't feel like my eyes have been stuck on a piece of duct tape. My hands don't even have the strength to move.

“Make a wish, Kanya.”

That voice. A voice that made my body tremble hard, a voice that made me feel my body again. This time I was trying to open my eyes slowly by forcing my eyelids to lift.

The dazzling light from the shed cracks in my dream that I saw for the first time when these eyelids were half-open. I had another dream, but this time I was floating in the air.

This warehouse used to look dark with dim lighting from the moonlight that forced its way through the tiny space of some leaking walls and roofs. I can see the situation of the warehouse in my recurring dreams.

Some parts of the roof leaked and were penetrated by sunlight. The surrounding place was dazzled yet still seems dark because this warehouse is very closed, dusty, and seemingly unkempt like a haunted house in horror movies. 

My body was stretched out, still floating in the air. I couldn't see Eros's position in my current state. I wanted to scream, but there I am, like a mute person, which my voice wouldn't come out even to open my mouth was utterly incapable of it.

“Make a wish, Kanya!”

Eros's voice grew weaker. I can hear the moaning pain from his tone. Unlike before, he would walk like a model giving me a knife casually without any sound of pain.

“Eros.” My head could turn to the left. I found Eros kneeling on the ground with a face in great pain. It didn't seem very nice when those eyes caught sight of me. “Eros!” I shouted in a loud voice.

I can talk again. “Put me down!” My body is still floating in the air and trying my hardest so that I can turn around and try to reach Eros. “Put me down, Eros! Wait, this must be just another dream. Didn't I ride in your car?!” 

“Kanya, make ... a wish.” 

Eros Darwin kept trying his best to endure the pain while repeating the words he had uttered so many times in a nightmare over and over that invaded my logic.

“No! It must be another nightmare. I don't want anymore!” Then shaking my head as hard as I couldn't accept this nightmare anymore, my heart was beating fast when I noticed that Eros's left chest was covered in blood, but there was no trace of the weapon stuck in his chest.

“No! It wasn't me.” I dodged it many times because I wasn't the cause of the wound that he suffered.

“Kanya, please!” He said helplessly.

Never have I seen Eros Darwin become as helpless as he is today. When I stabbed him many times, he wasn't as painful as now. Who did that to him? Who could make Eros feel such pain and helplessness, and why does it feel like dozens of daggers are stabbing my heart?

My eyes started to shed tears that I don't know why. “That's enough! I don't want anymore! Last night I had a nightmare, now that annoying nightmares have come again. It wasn't me! I didn't stab you.”

“Ah!” Eros Darwin cried out in pain, and it broke my heart even more by hearing his painful screams.

What should I do?

Suddenly a dagger appeared on Eros Darwin's left chest. The dagger wasn't there before. Why is it stuck in his left chest now? It made me even more confused while I was still floating myself in the air.

“Cough.” Eros spat out a mouthful of black blood. His left hand was placed on the ground, while his right hand pressed against the stabbed chest area. 

Eros Darwin looked at me with sad eyes. Those eyes made my heart even more torn into pieces, and I don't think it can be treated easily.  Pain! I can feel the pain through that sad gaze.

I gasped for breath when I watched Eros vomiting blood again. The blood grew blacker and more. Blood from his chest kept flowing, and Eros Darwin's hand slowly grabbed the handle of the knife. And a few moments later, when our eyes looked into each other; Eros pulled out the knife that was stuck in his left chest with his hand.

His blood immediately spurted out, and he fell to the cold ground.

“Eros!”

Throwing the keys at the security guard is the first thing I do when my feet touch the floor.“Good afternoon, Director.”The same greeting every morning made me reluctant to reply. I just nodded my head in return for their politeness.“Director, have you arrived?” A man with a stiff, dull appearance approached me when he saw me getting out of the car. Rudy's face covered in panic, and the handkerchief that he used to wipe his forehead proved that cold sweat had soaked down just now. “The Chairman has been waiting for you at the office. He seems furious that you moved out of the resident.”I rushed to the elevator because my assistant told me that the old man — the owner of this company or none other than my grandfather — was in my office.

    Eros POV You are crazy! That’s what I can say to Kanya, who screamed hysterically after seeing me in the elevator. Am I so creepy that she passed out? I was willing to carry her like the bridal style because she hasn’t regained consciousness from fainting. I think she fell asleep, and one more thing I don’t know about her password apartment. How do I get this woman into her apartment? Asked security for a manual lock and left her lying alone at her apartment door? What if someone takes her away? Why do I have so many questions and feel a dilemma? Or should I take her to my apartment first? After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to take her to my apartment for a while until she woke up. Yeah, that’s better than having her beaten by the mosquitoes out here.

My eyes are rounded still in disbelief that I am in the bathroom with a man with his clothes stripped, and that man is an indistinct man or spirit itself. Did Eros take off my clothes earlier, and why could I be in the bathroom with him? Wait a minute. This morning when I was about to touch Eros’s hand, he was very uncomfortable, and this afternoon he let me hug when I was crying. Our skin is currently in contact, and Eros is okay with that? But now I was the one with the problem. My face started to heat up as I watched Eros’s eyes like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey. Could it be that my body looks seductive in his eyes? There was a little pride in me, but shame was consumed away at me. “Let me go! You’re a pervert

    Eros POV I was making eyes in disbelief at what was happening right now. I was like a man who was helpless under the force of Kanya’s two hands that tightly hugged my neck. Kanya forced her lips to land on mine without warning. For a moment, it made my body froze. I couldn’t even blink when I saw her long lashes. Kanya closed her eyes, and her lips played against mine. Strangely, I just let it be. Let this woman rest my head and force herself on me. I can assume she pushed herself. Her lips felt smooth when they touched the surface of the mine, and our lips were currently clashing, guided by Kanya, while I was just silent and let it be. Kanya hugged my neck with her arms intertwined. For a few moments, she still didn’t cover my lips and enjoyed the moments. My eyes are always open to seeing her, who is very brave to kiss a man she just met—in the men’s bathroom too.

The warm temperature of the two bodies touching each other made the air in the room feel hot for both of us. Kanya’s sigh sounded melodious when I slowly buried a hot kiss on her chewy ball for a fraction of a minute. Kanya’s eyes had closed, receiving the kiss from my lips. My tongue played over it bravely, after which I bit the two balls one by one, leaving no space there without a trace of my lips. It felt soft like cotton candy that suddenly melted in my mouth, it also tasted sweet for the first time I was on top of a woman, and this woman was still entirely foreign because I had only known her for a day. “Ah ~” Kanya moaned again when my fingers began to slide into the r

The man did not clean the blood of the woman he killed last night and let the old shack feel disgusting.“Ah!” Kanya closed her ears.She’s been like that since waking up this morning.

Meanwhile, a woman sits beside the patient.“Eros, how can you be so stupid?” Siska muttered, seeing Eros lying on the patient’s bed.If that woman didn’t come on time, then Eros’s life might not have been saved.“How’s the Director?” Rudy immediately asked when he entered the ward.Siska turned to Rudy, “The critical period is over. He’s fine now.”“Thankfully.” Rudy breathed a sigh of relief.They were anxious when Eros was in critical condition yesterday.

    That night, Kanya was moaning in pain from the wound caused by the man in the raincoat, especially when she thought of Eros, who had died.In her heart, Kanya couldn’t accept Eros gone. Or there was no evidence that Eros died. Maybe the man lied to her.Kanya silently cried until she sobbed. She was lying on the rickety bed with her back to the man in the red raincoat. Kanya did not know what’s her Dault to that man and why she became his prisoner.The man heard Kanya’s cry. He got up from his seat, staring at Kanya’s back. In his hand holding food. The food is for Kanya, but he knows Kanya doesn’t want to eat dinner.Furious, he threw the food at his feet. It made Kanya flinch, her shoulders shivering, but she didn’t want to turn to the man.A moment after that, the man in the red raincoat came out of the hut.

    The rough hand touched Kanya’s smooth cheek. His lips smiled brightly after carrying the women and leaving Eros on the roof of the building.Sunlight entered through the small gaps in the rickety hut. Fine dust flying freely. Meanwhile, spiders make cobwebs everywhere. One of the black spiders crawled on the man’s boot. He saw it with a look of disgust then threw the spider away. After that, he stepped on the spider’s round body.One life vanished under his feet. Although only a spider, in its body, there is a soul. That poor soul may have gone to hell by this time.Behind him, the woman with red lips opened her eyes slowly. She found the situation as in her dreams.

Her tears fell uncontrollably.All the accusations that she brought against Eros were untrue. Kanya saw with her own eyes that Eros was the victim here. So who is the man in the red raincoat?“Are you shocked and scared?” The man in the raincoat asked with a grin. A terrible face seems very creepy.“Dammit!” Kanya snapped after she gained consciousness.Kanya turned to Eros, who was enduring pain. Then she took a step with her weak legs. She felt very guilty for not wanting to listen to Eros’s explanation. She should have heard rather than accusing him, just because of the evidence she found.That caused her to stay away from Eros, also getting Eros into this problem. Kanya’s steps were getting faster. She immediately threw herself at Eros.
