Chapter Twenty - 4
Selene smiled at him, motioning with her hands for him to follow her, while giving silent orders to the guards.Swallowing loudly, Eli looked round, checking his surroundings for possible exit before following closely behind her.The heavy wooden doors groaned as Selene pushed them open, the sound echoing through the stillness, making Eli halt in his steps for a moment too long, a look from Selene setting him back motion. The air inside was cooler, older—carrying with it the faint scent of cedar, parchment, and something metallic, almost like iron left too long in the rain.Eli stepped in cautiously, his shoes clicking against polished stone floors that had clearly outlived generations. The space was dim, lit only by thin strands of daylight filtering through the tall, narrow windows. Dust motes danced lazily in the shafts of light, giving the room a ghostly shimmer.The interior was neither modern nor extravagant. There were no glittering chandeliers, no indulgent displays of wealth.
Chapter Twenty - Three
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

How are you feeling?” Selene asked Eli as he slid into the car.“I just had a brief misunderstanding with them, it's nothing serious.” “A guard took the CCTV recordings, Eli.” Selene sighed, “from the recordings it shows you had a personal vendetta with them.“How, and when did you get the recordings?” Eli looked suspiciously at Selene.“When everybody was distracted and trying to appease you, I sent a guard to threaten one of the security guards.” Selene shrugged a shoulder, like it was normal. “Just didn’t want to take chances.Eli looked at Selene in amazement, not knowing what to say to that.“Thank you.” He said after a while, getting emotional, that for the first time in a long while, someone had his back.“No need to thank me Eli, we are family.” Selene responded smiling.“Are you ready to leave, or is there something more you want to do.”Eli stared at Selene for a while, a sense of belonging overwhelming him, all the anger and pain of not feeling like he belonged slipping aw

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

Eli stared at the magnificent, luxurious house, his gaze landing on the water fountain in the environment, and the private pool at another side, another beautiful thing he noticed was that he could see the ocean from where he stood in the large master’s bedroom.Selene had said the place was beautiful, he hadn't been expecting this beauty.“I hope it's to your liking Elias.” Selene's voice drifted to him as she watched his expression.He swallowed, unable to say anything. This was more than he had dreamt and hoped for, and the best part was that there could be more if he resumed his identity as an Aurelius.“Why can't I have more buildings and homes like this even if I don't resume my identity as an Aurelius?” Eli asked, turning to face Selene, not understanding the logic as to why he needed to take over Aurelius to have a more luxurious lifestyle.“That's because, I believe Mr Elias is an upright man, and he would find it insulting to be given so many things without putting in even a
Chapter Nineteen
Without waiting to think, Eli barged into the house to see his clothes sprawled on the floor and the only good box he had getting cleaned and packed to be sold.“What's going on Elara?” His voice shook as his eyes moved from his things to Elara.“Where have you been Eli?- I tried reaching you several times but you weren't answering, I was so scared Eli, I thought something bad had happened to you.” Elara answered instead, moving closer to where Eli stood.“What do you think you are doing Elara? - don't go near him, who knows what germs he has gone to pack from outside and is now trying to distribute to you.” Selvia spoke with so much disgust, shifting farther away from Eli.“I am sorry I didn't call or pick your calls, I was just in a position I couldn't.”“What situation Eli, tell me what situation it was that you disappeared for days without letting me know.” Elara's voice broke.“Can I explain everything to you inside Elara, you have got to trust me.”“No Eli, I would like for you
