"I am going tomorrow." Red said in her sorrowful voice, falling on her knees while leaning on the wall.

Red said in a low tone when her Mother came. Mrs Bennet's eyes teared up to see her daughter after a year as she hugged Red."Oh my, Red. How are you, my child? I prayed for your well being every moment, for you to come home soon. I was so worried about you. I missed you so much."

Erich taunted, looking at Red who once again came to him, offering partnership after growing her name. "Yes. That's why I came back here to show you what I could do." Red replied coldly. "Still, you came back."'I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.' Erich thought. "I had to.

Silenced Temptations 65- Surprise
"I am telling you, I didn't do it." Red argued over the dinner table with everyone there. "You are lying, Red. Say you didn't expose Parker's cheater girlfriend in the whole university." Erich asked. "Yeah I did but I didn't announce cheating." Red shrugged. "Liar, you made Peter do it." "Indirectly, it was all your fault." Lucifer hummed, eating his food in silence while Erich was telling the time when Red exposed Parker's ex and humiliated her in the whole university for cheating on her friend. "So, that bitch was cheating on him." Red shrugged. "Anyways, I then leak the result about the pre-" Red was cut off by Lucifer, "Turn off your radio, Red. We should eat in silence."

"You are not getting it, Lucifer. She pity me and love cannot arouse between us." "Why are you doing this when she wants to live with you!?" Lucifer angrily asked. "Because it hurts me everytime to see her! I cannot look into her eyes because her love is stolen from her because of me!" Erich replied in the same outraged tone. He grit his teeth, calming down. "Okay, meet her once before leaving." Lucifer opened his mouth to say something but Erich spoke up, "At least, let her choose." Lucifer wanted to argue but agree, thinking it might be for the best if Red chose herself. Erich and Lucifer met outside he
Silenced Temptations 63- Bound with me
Red lowered her head and hid it in Lucifer's chest. Erich curved his lips in dejection and continued in a broken voice, "When I had no expectation then how can I get hurt?" "I don't want to hurt you." Red said, not meeting his gaze in contrition. "What about you Red? Are you going to live your life with me all because you don't want to break my heart? What about your heart? Your emotions? I cannot live like this with you. I want your elation." "But.. but what about the sorrows I gave you. I-" Erich cut her off, "I will gather myself." Erich smiled and lowered his head, continuing in a crying tone, "But I cannot bound you with me knowing you love someone else. I.. can't do this." Red looked at him timidly, stopping her cries, "Please forgive me." Erich wiped his tears and smiled, "Red I love your happiness, If it won't exist then what's the point of my love?" Erich came closer, the soft smile still on his lips along with the tears shining like gems on his exquisite emeral
Silenced Temptations 62- Silenced Words
"Even if it hurts you?" Red asked between her sobs, looking at him innocently. "Even if it hurts me." He smiled, cupping her cheek with his one hand, dearing the warmth and wiping the tear with his thumb. "Why are you so indulgent with me!? Why can't you say what's in your heart?! Why can't you say you want me to be yours?!" Red asked, crying again, hitting his chest. "Because my words would become an obstacle to your path and I want you to choose the path to solace." He said, holding her face and pulling it close to her, boring his eyes into hers. "But Erich.. I.. I.." Red sniffed, trying to say something. "It's okay." He whispered. "I can't do this..." She whispered back. "Shh. Don't think about it more. Your joy matters to me." He said, stroking the side of her face with his hand, removing the tears which stained her charm. "I am sorry.

"Are you sure about leaving?" She smiled and nodded. "And you will not come back?" He asked again. "Lucifer, I have done nothing to find a reason to come back." "How could you leave after the chaos?" April laughed a little, "I have demolished everything, that's why I am leaving. And nothing could stop me. I'm sorry if I can't help you anymore but I have to go... It.. suffocates me to see Erich and Red.. I can't take it anymore." Her voice cracked up. She sniffed, resisting her tears and continued in a croaky voice, "I didn't intend to become like this. After Erich ended our sessions, I had no intentions of entering his life again. I just wanted to go back, being Red's friend only but.. I came because of you but I can't do it anymore." "April..."

On her way back, her car's tyre got punctured. She called a mechanic and was waiting for him but then saw Lucifer in April's car who was going to her outlet but when he saw her on the road he stopped. "Red..." He called her, coming to her. "Why are you here?" Red asked. "I wanted to see you." He replied. "You did, now leave." She sighed. "Waiting for a mechanic?" He asked. She rolled her eyes, leaning on her car, ignoring him. Lucifer laughed a little to himself and stared at her. Red tried her best to ignore his gaze and smile but couldn't resist and ask out of annoyance, "What are you staring at?" "You." He replied. "Then stop doing it, it's creepy." She said, His smile turned into a sad one as he lowered his head. "Sorry if that made you uncomfortable but what can I do when I love your hair."

You are going to start a new life today." She told herself. And who do you truly love? A question echoed in her mind and blended angst. She shook her head, forming a fake smile and walked out.

Silenced Temptations 58- Chance
"See. When you can do this, why not April?" He taunted. "Lucifer. Stop." April whispered, holding his shirt, hiding behind his back, trying not to cry. "No. What do you think of yourself, Red? You are hurting everyone here by hiding your real emotions, why are you choosing pain rather than sorting everything out?" Red grit her teeth, averting her gaze with no reply escaping her lips because his words were the bitter reality. "Enough, Lucifer. Stop it." Erich said. Lucifer looked at Erich and let out a short laugh, "And look at this poor guy, Red. Contemplate his condition, it was all because of you." Lucifer scowled. Red curled her hands, drowning in guilt for what happened to Erich by her unintentional words. "Stop it." Red managed to say. "Why? Can't-" Lucifer was cut off by April this time. "Please Lucifer. Stop." "No, Let him speak. What are you trying to show anyways, huh? Do you care? Don't give me this crap now." Red mocked. "Leave my house." April managed to say. "I am
