Chapter 357 - 357: Can't Force Her Heart

Elle was restless the moment she and Erick arrived at her apartment. After thanking him and assuring him that they would see each other the day after tomorrow, Elle rushed out of his car.

Erick was a little bit puzzled by her action. He watched her as Elle waved at him before entering the house. He was about to leave when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of someone's silhouette by the window.

By the time he turned to look at it once again, the figure was already gone. Erick shook his head, wondering if he was just imagining it. Soon, he turned his car to leave her apartment.

His next destination now was the prison. He would visit Carlo Vello and Diego De Dios to get some answers from them.

When Erick was gone, Elle finally felt relieved. She thought that it was really a closed call. She was thankful that Supremo and Erick didn't bump into each other today.

However, unknown to her, Supremo already saw Erick. When he heard the sound of the car's engine a while ago he peered to the window. He saw Elle alighted from the car and the person driving it was Erick.

Supremo's expression became ugly, his eyes were dark. He clenched his fists as his heart was drowning in jealousy. He was fully aware that Erick was still the man whom Elle loved. But he refused to give up.

He would use their deal so that he would be more closer to her. He would seize every opportunity to win her heart and make her fall for him.

Though he was in a bad mood right now, Supremo tried his best to control his emotions, especially when facing Elle. He would pretend that he didn't see something today.

He sat down on the sofa, waiting for Elle to enter the house. Supremo turned on the television. After a while, Elle emerged from the front door.

Elle was taken aback when she saw Supremo sitting in the living room.

'He's done taking shower. Did he see Erick and I together?'

Elle was having conflicting thoughts right now. She felt like she did something wrong for both men.

'Elle, you are really in a big mess right now. Finish this revenge thing already and fix everything back to where they should be.' Elle thought to herself.

She slowly approached Supremo and sat down beside him. As expected, he asked her immediately upon reaching him.

"Where did you go? You suddenly disappeared," he asked.

"I just bought some medicines in the drugstore nearby," Elle replied while showing him the plastic bag containing the medicine.

Elle was glad that she had this kind of alibi.

Supremo just nodded, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen. He knew it. Elle would lie to him because of Erick. He felt a tinge of pain deep down his heart. Then after that, there was a moment of awkward silence between them.

In the end, Supremo was still the one who broke that silence.

"Free your schedule this Saturday." 

Elle turned to look at him and asked, "Why?"

"It's now time to make your appearance and fulfill the second rule. I will introduce you to my people and to my allies. Use them and dispatch them whenever you need them. I'll give you enough power to make orders. They will obey every command coming from their Queen."

Elle was not against that idea. She needed to make a move now. She wanted to finish this once and for all.

"I understand. Don't worry, I am free on Saturday."

"Good. I will send Sherlock to pick you up on Saturday. He will be the one to assist you as I prepare everything in the venue of our meeting place."

"Oh, the Sneaky fellow that you sent to spy on me. He is a good actor, do you know that?" Elle said, lifting an eyebrow as she remembered how she was deceived by Josh.

Supremo let out a chuckle. "No matter how sneaky he is, still you manage to catch him. Do you know that this is the first time he failed the mission I gave him? I admire you for that."

"I am Catseye, the one and only true Catseye. And I hate people spying on me so I am giving you a head's up….Sherlock will get his punishment from me so don't you dare stop me." Elle warned him.

Supremo chuckled once again. "I am also planning to do that. Since you want to punish him then do so. He's all yours. He's at your mercy now, my Queen."

"Should I punish you too since you are the instigator and the mastermind?" Elle said, challenging him.

Supremo's lips stretched out into a faint smile. "Do you still need to punish me? I felt like I was being punished already the moment I found out that you and he were together."

Dang! It was a bullseye!

Elle could not utter a word. She couldn't stand this kind of conversation with him wherein Supremo was talking about his feelings openly to her.

She felt uncomfortable. And she didn't know what to do or what to say. She couldn't appease him by saying that she would not see Erick because she couldn't do that.

She didn't want to hurt this guy because he was also important to her. Yeah, she cared about him too. But her feelings for him and for Erick were different. She couldn't force her heart to love him back like how she loved Erick.

Elle was put in this difficult situation. She was indebted to this guy. She owed him her life. But she couldn't let go of Erick. He was the only man her heart truly wanted. Her heart only belonged to him. That's why she felt sorry for this guy beside her now.

Elle was lost in her thoughts when suddenly Supremo stood up.

"I have to go now. Make sure to take your medicine. Don't exhaust yourself too much. I'll see you this Saturday."

Elle just nodded at him absentmindedly. Supremo smiled at her. 

"Don't think too much. I am just fine." He said, patting her head gently before he left.
