Chapter 228 - Captured!

Azrael had to jump over to reach Selene in no time. Everything happened so fast. Fortunately, Azrael was able to pull Selene into his embrace when they fell to the ground.

Because of Azrael's interference, Selene was able to avoid mischief. Nothing bad happened to them, except for small abrasions on their arms and knees.

The driver apologized for what happened as he lost control of the steering wheel. The car's brake was not working as well. He brought the car to the shop for repair and to investigate the parts that malfunctioned.

The driver promised to compensate both Selene and Azrael. He shouldered the bill in the hospital where Selene and Azrael were brought for a check-up.

They had to ensure that they didn't get a serious injury. After the result came out, everything was just normal. The two were discharged from the hospital after treating their abrasions.

Azrael knew that the accident had something to do with Zaki. He saw one grim reaper out there, following Selene. If she was hit by the car then she might have been dead by now.

"Eros, where are you? Zaki is already on the move. He is trying to kill Selene," Azrael mumbled to himself.

Levi and Azrael became extra careful in watching over Selene. They didn't know what accident was waiting for her again.

Renz also learned what happened to Selene so he picked her up in the hospital. Azrael didn't go with them. Renz still had no idea that Eros and Azrael had been living with Selene.

"Selene, are you okay?" Renz asked her worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm just fine. I only got several abrasions but it will heal fast," Selene reassured Renz.

They were now on the way back to the Anderson Family Mansion. Selene was silent during the entire trip. She was thinking of confronting Renz tonight.

"Renz, can you stay over for dinner tonight? There is something I want to discuss with you," Selene said with a serious expression on her face.

"Sure. I am also planning to invite myself if you didn't bring it up," Renz said with a smile. He joked around to lighten the mood since he felt that Selene was very serious.

They dropped by the supermarket first. Selene had planned to cook dinner for them. 

Renz felt content watching her buy different ingredients. He felt like the two of them were already husband and wife.

He wondered what Selene wanted to talk about tonight. Was it about their status and relationship?

If yes, then he would try to take his courage and confess to Selene. Maybe it was the right time to level up their relationship.

Aside from Renz, Levi was also getting excited. He thought Eros's mission would be completed tonight. He could see how Renz genuinely cared about Selene so it was not impossible if he had fallen for her already.

It would be an honor for Levi to watch Selene and Renz unite in love. He was currently taking over Eros's mission in the meantime. He would be proud of himself if he could help his idol  Eros in completing his mission.

Twenty minutes later, Selene and Renz were done buying all the necessary ingredients she needed. He escorted her to the car. Soon, they left the supermarket.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Selene didn't see Aunt Ling and Sach. Aunt Ling probably brought Sach with her as she mentioned to her that Renz and she would be having dinner in the mansion.

Aunt Ling might want to give them privacy so she took Sach and left the mansion in the meantime. Azrael also transformed into his grim reaper's form so that Renz would not see his presence. He was invisible in his eyes.

Now, Levi and Azrael were talking on the balcony, giving Renz and Selene some privacy in the kitchen. Renz was helping Selene in preparing the ingredients while Levi and Azrael were talking about Eros.

"Levi, if ever Renz confesses his feeling to Selene tonight, does it mean Eros's mission will be completed?" Azrael asked Levi curiously.

Levi nodded his head in excitement.

"Yes, definitely. Renz should also seal it with a kiss. Once it happens then it will be happily ever after for the two of them."

"If that is the case, then Eros will not be coming back here?"

Levi bobbed his head once again.

"But why?"

"Because he doesn't need to go back anymore. His mission is already complete. Selene will forget about Eros, not only about Eros but also about us!" Levi declared to Azrael matter-of-factly.

Azrael frowned when he heard that.

"Then what will happen to Selene? What if Zaki will continue to take her soul in a form of accident?"

"We can no longer meddle with the grim reaper's task. We have done our mission already. So, we can't intervene even if Zaki will try to take Selene's soul."

"Eros will not allow that to happen!" Azrael said with certainty.

Levi shook his head. "My master cupid, Eros, can't do something about it. Our mother angel will not allow him to intervene. He has to leave Selene for good and forget about her. He should focus on his new mission."

Azrael was not convinced about it. Eros was so worried about Selene. He knew Eros couldn't leave Selene just like that. He could be stubborn sometimes. He also knew how Eros cared so much about Selene.

"I think Eros will still come. At least to say goodbye to Selene."

"And how about me? I can't stay here any longer! Zaki will kill me soon!" Azrael added, feeling troubled.

Levi could only laugh at his troubles. "Don't worry, Azrael. I heard that Mother Angel, Sienna will protect you against Zaki. She already talked to him."

Azrael's mood brightened up at the mention of Sienna's name. Then he remembered something.

"Wait, how about Selene's friends who met Eros and me? Will they forget about meeting us as well?"

Levi nodded his head. "Yes! Including her friends. As if the two of you never existed in their lives."

Azrael felt saddened about that. 'Does it mean Samantha will forget about me too?'

Azrael could only sigh deeply. 'If that happens tonight, then I can no longer see Samantha tomorrow. She said I should come tomorrow since she would teach me how to kiss someone.'

'I have to see her so that I will learn what to do once I face Sienna again.'

Azrael didn't know why he was sad about this. Unknowingly, he wished that Renz and Selene would not end up confessing their love for each other tonight.

"Azrael, what's wrong with your face? Are you troubled by something?" Levi asked him as soon as he noticed his downcast expression.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just worried about the possible punishment I will receive from Zaki after all of this," Azrael said as an alibi.

"Don't worry, Azrael. You didn't do a forbidden thing. I am certain, Zaki will not kill you. You will retain your immortality!" Levi said, encouraging and consoling Azrael.

Forbidden thing was subjected to harsher punishment that might equal to death such as losing power and immortality and being banished from their realm.

"Your words are not encouraging me at all!" Azrael complained to Levi.

Levi just let out another chuckle.

"Come on. Let's roam around for now and be back later. Let's give Selene and Renz complete privacy in this house! If we come back and Selene could still remember us then that only means the confession didn't happen."

"But Eros told me not to leave Selene alone." Azrael opposed his suggestion.

"Selene is safe in this house. Besides, Renz is with her. Nothing bad will happen to her." Levi said, convincing him

"Alright! Let's go." Azrael finally agreed.

When Azrael and Levi left, they didn't notice that someone entered the house. The dark soul finally made his appearance and visited Selene.

The dark soul's movement had been restricted lately because of Zaki. He dispatched his grim reapers to monitor Selene, Renz, and Micaela.

But one thing was off. Whenever Selene was inside the Anderson Family Mansion, no grim reapers aside from Azrael were lurking around the area.

This was the reason why the Dark Soul had decided to see and visited Selene in the Anderson Family Mansion.

Upon entering the house, the dark soul saw Selene and Renz together. They were both helping each other in the kitchen.

The dark soul felt happy to see them together. He stayed with them for several minutes, just watching them.

But after a few minutes, the dark soul had sensed something. He decided to leave the mansion in a hurry.

He just got out of the house when something was thrown in his direction. Before he knew it, the dark soul just found himself being tied by a golden rope.

He even used the dark spear to cut the golden rope but it didn't work.

"Finally, I caught you! Dark Soul! Now, you can't escape from me!"
