47- Maintain your distance, Mr Grave
The rest of the party went monotonous except for those who stole glances from each other and avoided crossing ways.
After the party, Red and Erich were about to sleep but Erich asked, "Red... didn't you feel bad?"
"No, It was just a business party."
Red lied, sighed and turned off the lamp on her side.
"I should have understood that you were trying to move on and I did this..." Erich mumbled, lowering his head and turning to her.
"You just wanted to show him I am yours, don't you?" Red asked, climbing on the covers and turning to him. Erich nodded in embarrassment.
"It's fine. He should know that I am not his anymore." Red shrugged, plopping on her elbow.

After working late in the night, he returned home and was surprised to see Red waiting for him.It was an odd demeanour he couldn't understand, coming from Red."Why did you wait for me?" he asked, taking a seat. "Uh.. I was waiting for you." She said, pointing at the food. What he failed to notice: Red kinda felt guilty for behaving so badly with Erich."You don't have to." He passed her his usual smile.

"Why did you call me here?" Erich rudely asked, gritting his teeth, feeling powerless before her demands as both of them were sitting in her apartment. "No need to be so infuriated." April smiled, putting her elbow on the table and leaning close to his face. "You have swore to not let me live in peace." "Yes." She replied shamelessly, making Erich jaw drop in disbelief about how she could be this heartless."Why!?""Because whenever I see you with Red, it burns me." She hissed. "Why don't you get it? She is not mine." Erich reasoned, hoping she will understand what between him and Red is nothing but to no avail. "How could you say this?" April asked in ire."She is not mine! Still, today, she is Lucifer's... Please stop it, April, for what crimes are you punishing me from?" Erich asked, his voice becoming dolorous. "What did you do? The problem is you did nothing!" April said angrily, raising her voice. "What could I do when you were nothing to me?" Erich asked in a faint tone,

April sighed from her side, knowing how unfavourable this is but she has no other choice, "You have to do it." "Please, I will do whatever you say but not this. Please." What are they talking about? Red was so confused why Erich is extremely desperate. "You have to break Red's heart." April said sternly."Why is it necessary to do it in front of everyone? I can't do this." His voice broke in between. "Then threw her out of your car. Do any one of them or else the next day, your relationship wouldn't last." "What? Threw? April it's raining outside, how can I?" Erich spoke in a shaky voice but she cut the call before he could speak further. But she cut the Erich, leaving Erich more apprehensive than before, a mind lost in the darkness of the abyss, lost of a clear path of liberation to a destination of agony.

Silenced Temptations 54- His Confession
Red let out a mocking laugh at his raze, at his condition who actually thought they could become one. In the end, he was just a stalker in her eyes. "You were such an idiot to believe I wanted to start a new life with you. I used you because you never had any value in my eyes." She said pointing her finger at him in a contemptible way. At this point, he was barely standing, mindless, crushed under the weight of her painful words.Each tear which rolled down his cheek hurt his very skin in indescribable grief while Red broke his heart excruciatingly.Red scowled at his face and wiped her lips- the place he kissed in disgust and left him all alone under the rain to crumble endlessly.With a heavy heart, Erich moved back, falling into a random alley as he fell on his knees and by the roaring sound of rain, he let out his cries of suffering and woe initiated by Red's intentions that gave him intense mental suffering.

Silenced Temptations 55- A Mere Deal
'When did I become like this? How can I melt in my emotions and fuel his sorrows to the extent he will perish?' Red sadly thought, staring at her hands, devoid of every emotion while looking at two notes of 'sorry' in her hand, confirmed that the person who used to give her a rose back in University is none other than Erich. A tear rolled down her cheek, cursing her heart which cannot connect his heart. On the strayed path she couldn't make her surroundings break. She never thought it would take her almost seven years to find this person but the moment when Red came to her show and Erich sent her a note of apology with a white rose just like before when he never had any fault, hurt her deeply. Red took a deep breath and looked at her reflection in the mirror, "Let's end this." She said to herself. "I will see what pulls us apart." She sighed, curling her hands in a fist and taking a shower to calm her mind for the show. Red got ready, took a survey of her models, putting up h
