Chapter 116 - Eros's Explanation

Selene, Eros, Renz, and Arthur just proceeded to the living room of Samantha's and Mr. M's VIP suite. Samantha was just putting on her clothes before talking to her four friends.

Mr. M also stayed in the bedroom, waiting for Samantha to finish. He didn't want to face Selene, Renz, and others without Samantha around. She would be the one to explain his relationship with Mr. M.

Meanwhile, Arthur began questioning Selene, accusing her of cheating. Eros had the urge to punch his mouth just to shut him up.

"Selene, how can you do this to Renz? Your wedding is just a few weeks away. How can you cheat on him with this guy?''

Selene was sitting next to Renz while Arthur and Gabriel were sitting together on the opposite sofa. Renz made sure to separate the two. 

Selene glared at Arthur for creating misunderstanding and stirring a conflict between Renz and her.

"I'm not cheating on Renz. Gabriel is just my friend!" Selene defended herself.

"You can't deny it. Then how would you explain this? You and this guy checked in at this hotel in just one room! We just caught you, Selene!" Arthur insisted.

Renz and Arthur saw Selene and Eros from a distance when they came out of their room, moving to Samantha's room. They knocked and rang the doorbell. 

They were about to approach them when suddenly Eros broke the door, barging inside the room. Renz and Arthur were puzzled when they saw that. They just followed them from behind. They didn't expect that they would also see Samantha inside the room with another guy.

Selene didn't know how she would explain this. Indeed, she booked only one hotel room for her and Eros. But they didn't plan on staying and sleeping in that room. Eros would stay there while she would come home at night.

They were just trying to find out who was the person who reserved room 314. They wanted to keep Samantha's safe. 

Tomorrow, her dead body would be found by the hotel staff so they had to make sure that Samantha didn't go to that hotel. Selene and Eros couldn't tell this information to Renz and Arthur.

Meanwhile, Samantha and Mr. M overheard their conversation wherein Arthur was accusing Selene of cheating on her fiancee. Mr. M was intrigued after hearing that.

'Selene cheating on Renz? Hmm, interesting! It looks like it will be easy to ruin their relationship,' Mr. M thought to himself.

"Arthur, why are you creating conflict between Renz and Selene? Can't you just listen to Selene's explanation first?" Samantha butted in, standing up for Selene.

Selene glanced at Samantha with a grateful look in her eyes. She was touched that Samantha was defending her even though they barged into their room.

Renz and others were now waiting for Selene's explanation but she didn't know what alibi she would tell them. Then suddenly they heard Eros's voice.

"Don't blame, Selene. She didn't do anything wrong. She just came here with me to help a friend," Eros declared to them.

Selene frowned when she heard Eros. She wondered if he would tell them the truth about saving Samantha.

Arthur just sneered at Eros, not believing him. On the other hand, Renz, Samantha, and Mr. M were now all ears on him, feeling curious about what he was about to tell them.

Eros paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing.

"Selene and I came here and booked a hotel room next to room 304 because…"

Selene held her breath. She was eyeing Eros, telling him not to tell everyone about Samantha's case or else, they would think that they were crazy.

They would never believe them. Only Gabriel trusted her when she informed him about her vision. 

She didn't think that Samantha and Renz would believe that she could envision what might happen in the future.

Arthur would have more reasons to suspect her and Gabriel. Selene silently hoped that Eros aka Gabriel would just keep their secret about Samantha's fate.

"Because we are trying to catch my boyfriend. I heard that he booked a hotel room here with another girl. My informant told me that they chose room 304. That is one of the reasons why we suddenly barged in this room."

Selene: "..."

Renz: "..."

Arthur: "..."

Mr. M: "..."

Samantha: "..."

Everyone was rendered speechless because of Eros's last remarks. The three of them except Selene and Renz were looking at Eros in disbelief.

Arthur: 'What? Did he just say his boyfriend?'

Mr. M: 'Boyfriend? What does it mean? He is gay?'

Samantha: 'Eh? Gabriel's boyfriend? Don't tell me my crush is gay? Gabriel is a gay?'

"But it turned out the informant gave me the wrong room number. So we ended up here in Samantha's room. We are really sorry about this Sam. We didn't mean to intrude your privacy with your boyfriend," Eros added, apologizing to Samantha and Mr. M.

Selene was amused that Eros was able to come up with that kind of alibi. She didn't expect that he would also use the 'Gay-thing-alibi' in order to clear the misunderstanding between Renz and her.

Selene was feeling grateful to Gabriel right now as his alibi was somehow believable. She didn't even think about that. When she glanced at Renz, she could see that he was no longer mad or upset.

"Wait! Wait! What is the meaning of this? Gabriel? Are you a gay?" Samantha was the one who spoke up, voicing out their confusion. Arthur and Mr. M were also curious. They didn't think that Eros was gay.

Selene could only bite her lower lip. She was the one who started this lie, telling Renz that Eros was gay. Soon, they saw Eros nodding his head while staring intently at Selene.

Yes, his narcissistic self was willing to eat his pride, pretending he was gay for Selene's sake. He knew that Arthur wouldn't stop creating trouble for Selene. He didn't like how he was accusing her of cheating.

It was Renz who cheated on Selene. She remained faithful to him. It was Renz who betrayed her first.

Eros wanted to clear the misunderstanding between Selene and Renz right away. They still had an important thing to do right now. It's Samantha's safety.

They had to get her out of that hotel. She was not yet safe as Eros could still see the black shadow lingering around her. The grim reaper was still with them.
