What did you do that for.” Eli asked, standing up, while dusting his shirt.The guards looked at him with disgust, turning his head away.Eli smiled silently to himself as he walked up to the cashier. “ I would like to see your manager for compensation for what the security did to me.”“I did nothing to you sir, can you stop trying to push blames?” The security finally spoke, coming to stand beside Eli.“So are you saying, I would fall by myself and destroy jeweleries I used so much amount to get?” Eli asked calmly, looking from the guard to the cashier.“Yes, sir, that's exactly what I think, you probably borrowed the money you used in paying for the jewellery, and this is your perfect plan to get the money back.” The cashier spoke, signalling to the guard to throw him out.Eli noticed the slight movement, quickly dodging the grip of the security, raising his voice as he spoke in order to get the attention of other people in the store.“Treating your customers in this manner isn't so

Selene returned while Eli was in the shower, taking as much time as he could, oblivious to the time spent and the woman in the bedroom. After making sure, there was nothing more he could enjoy, he finally emerged.“Gosh, Selene, you scared me.-- why did you enter here like this, what if I had been naked.” Eli exclaimed, his brow creasing in annoyance.“I never thought of that, -- my bad, I had been in the living room for hours, I got worried, and decided to come check up on you.” Selene responded, giving Eli a once over. “I will give you some privacy.Selene’s heart ached at how malnourished Eli looked, he had said he had been eating well, plus the job he had been doing had given him muscles, but he didn’t look as healthy as she wanted him to look. Everytime she looked at Eli, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, he looked so much like Leonhart, that she always had tis sense of guilt that she could have done better to help him, to help all of them. She wiped a stray drop of te

The days after that day passed in a blur, at first Selene had been the one to pick him up from his home and drive him to Alistair’s house, eventually he had gotten used to the roads, guards had been assigned to him, so now he was making the journey on his own, with the company of one guard. The day started off like every other day, waking up early to take a stroll round his house, and exercise he had been doing days on end to familiarise himself with the building, but for some reason, the road leading to the mentor house was easier to memorize than the walls of his own house.He got lost like three or four times, a great improvement to the amount of times he had been lost on previous days. Did his usual routine of taking a bath, spending hours deciding the best fit to wear, then wondering if he should eat and what he should eat, before finally leaving the house.He checked his time, deciding he still had enough to have a simple breakfast. He had a rushed breakfast of eggs and toast

While Eli stood guard, Selene moved through the study with a, terrifying focus. She found a small, empty decanter in a cabinet, its crystal facets catching the lamplight. Using a linen napkin to avoid touching the cup, she carefully poured the remainder of Alistair’s poisoned tea into it, sealing the stopper tightly.“This,” she murmured, her voice tight but controlled, “will tell us what kind of poison was used.”Then she placed the delicate cup into a separate zippered bag she’d found in Alistair’s desk. “The lab can analyze the cup. We don’t need… we don’t need him for that.” She couldn’t bring herself to look at the body.When she was certain there was nothing else she could secure in the room, she signalled to Eli that she was going to check outside, maybe there was something the killer had left behind. Eli nodded once, before following closely behind her, serving as a guard and companion.The car became their next focus. The sharp smell of something chemical, that Eli had not no

Victor, – I have a feeling he is the one behind the murders, he is no ally, which means he must have someone in our circle as an informant.” “He has been running Aurelius for a while now, killing your father’s legacy, changing Aurelius from what it truly is, to something completely different. – He must have sensed you were getting closer to taking Aurelius from him, that’s why he had killed Alistair.” Selene spoke as she glanced at Eli.It had been weeks since that night at Alistair’s house, but they were no where close to finding the culprit behind Alistair and Marcus’s deathSelene was sitting on the couch of Eli’s house which he had moved back into after making sure he wasn’t going to be ambushed there, Selene had been skeptical at first, but he had insisted, staying in the safe house had done nothing to help them either, so it was best he returned. “ Might drag the killer out.” Those had been his words on the day he had made that decision.“Who is he?” Eli asked, sipping his juic
