After their father died, as the eldest son, their brother Eric had taken the burden upon himself to bind the family together and move the family business forward. And that involved taking care of their father's favorite son. Him.
Unlike most families where the siblings fought for leadership and were at each other's throats, it wasn't the case in theirs. They were blessed in the sense that all five of them grew up together in love and harmony, making sure to look out for each other.
Although their father loved them equally, it was obvious to everyone that Elijah had been his favorite son. Maybe because Elijah was the last child the love of his life gave him before she left this world? No one could tell why he loved him exceptionally.
But then, while the other siblings would tire out on the training ground, Elijah would be seated beside his father, munching on his snacks and watching the fight - even though he wanted to join his brothers.
