The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 86

“Huh?

I muttered but Eros had turned around and was walking towards the car. I stayed there, rooted to the spot as he went towards the car that the driver had already brought outside.

Eros only gave me a side eye and I promptly climbed down the small flight of stairs before running towards him.

I meckly went towards his car, rather one of the cars. His garage was on the right and there were a lot of cars inside that I could not get a glimpse of, but they had all looked shiny and luxurious

He only opened the door of the car and got in the driver’s seat. Turning the ignition on, he steered the car in the direction of

the gate.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and kept waiting for me to get in. He didn’t speak to me but simply increased the firing of the car while staring straight ahead.

After staring nervously at him for some time, I slowly stepped inside the car and got in the seat

I closed the door and he didn’t even let me settle in the seat, but simply hit the accelerator and drove outside through the large pathway,

“What the” I began but decided to keep shut because I didn’t want him to take out his anger on me.

Eros drove like a madman through the wide streets, and thankfully not many cars dared to get into his way. Not knowing what else to do I found the seatbelt and tried to put it on but fumbled with it because he was driving the car as if we were in some stupid race.

I tried to look outside but the roads seemed blurry and all I could see was a trail of green and brown dotted with some buildings here and there. I placed my hands on the seat and dug my nails into it, hoping that today wouldn’t be the end of

I closed my eyes and tried hard not to puke as Eros finally stopped the car outside a shop. The car gave slammed into the seat before he turned off the ignition.

In the next minute, he was out of the car and slammed the door shut, making my cars hurt.

He didn’t look at me nor did he even say a word to me but simply stalked off and went into the shop. I took a few minutes to gasp for breath and calm down my raging heart. The speeding had terrified me, and I had a feeling if I told him, Eros would have driven the car even faster, launching it into the sky.

After my heartbeat had calmed down a little, I got outside the car with shaky legs

Everybody in the shop was already standing in front of Eros with their heads bent low and their hands folded in the front. The store manager, a middle aged woman, promptly offered him a chair and gave him a low bow.

She was eyeing him as if he was a delicious candy. And not just her, all the salesgirls in the shop were eyeing him hungrily.

But Eros did not seem fazed by the looks he was getting. He sat on the chair, with his right leg’s ankle resting on the left leg’s knee, and gave them a bored look,

“Hello, my King How can I help you today? She didn’t wait for the King to answer and hurriedly looked at her staff,
