Elijah POV
I am in disbelief. Uncle Leon told us that our parents were dead and they entrusted us to them as our guardians. I could feel the anger and the rage overwhelm me to the point that I was gripping the papers hard to the point of shredding them. Our parents are alive and they were shamelessly using us and pretending that they were dead.
A pair of hands covered my tight ones and I looked up to see Clive looking at me with a concerned look. Denver from the other couch was looking at me worriedly. I smiled but judging from the looks, it was more of a grimace. "Elijah, What's wrong? " Clive asked with concern and worry. Warmth and joy filled me up. I knew that this man is the only one I wanted in my life as my partner and husband forever. Loving him for 5 years proved that to me despite being in a relationship. I was truly happy that this man cared for me. I turned towards him. "Please give me a hug ". I asked.
Clive froze in shock. Denver looked like his eyes were about to pop out in shock but all of a sudden something flashed in his eyes, he had a wolfish grin on his face that said 'I know why you are like this'.
I want to punch him so bad. I knew that he is not going to let this go at any cost and will probably tell Lucien about this. I looked at him. He stared back. I gave a grin that reeked of blood thirst. Denver flinched in shock and surprise.
Before it could go on, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. Clive was hugging me. I looked down to see his face was on my shoulder but his ears were bright red. I felt giddy and light. I squeezed his hands. " I will be there for you, Elijah. No matter how hard it gets, I am always there for you and you alone ". My heart soared in absolute joy. Just as I was about to reply, a knock sounded on the door.
Clive instantly jumped away and Denver got up to answer. I felt bereft of the warmth from Clive's hug. I am definitely in deep. Denver turned around, face pale and worried. " Young Master Elijah, Master Kain is here and..." he trailed as if unsure whether to continue. " Go on, Denver". I brooked in a neutral tone. " He slapped Master Lucien and started yelling at him. Young Decker ran to get you".
Anger overwhelmed my senses. The bastard dared to do such a thing. " Eli, I know that you are mad right now but you need to calm down and go help Lucien".
Clive was right. I took a deep breath. " Let's see why Kain is doing this ".
Looks like I have to make new plans. I will not let this branch off for the crimes that they committed.
Justice will win this time.
