Chapter 57 Wha a night
“We are about to land, you need to wake up.” I heard a voice say. I was softly touched on my body when a groan fell out of my lips and the memory of last night came rushing back to me, a whimper fell out of my lips and my eyes snapped open.
What did I do last night? What did we do? Fuck
I begged Adrian, I begged him to touch me, how could I ever recover from that?
“We need to get you in a seat.” I heard him say again, I didn’t look at him, I couldn't look at him after what had happened. After what we did, what I did, maybe to him it was not embarrassing but for me, it was beyond it, I did something that was about to make me lose every thought that I had.

Heading toward the seats, I strapped the seat belt around my body, I didn’t even look at him not once.
“Are you shy after what happened Elara?” I heard him say and I briefly looked at him before I looked away with a smile on my face, I didn’t want him to see that.
“I am not, last night didn’t happen.”
“Shy away all you want, pretend all you want but you and I both know it did.” He whispered so low, his breath fanning against my ears and my breath hitches.
In a few minutes, the plane had landed and I was handed a coat, a bit bigger than me.
“It’s freezing out there.”
“Are we going to your home? Your childhood home.” I asked and he. Nodded, it’s going to be the best place to have the conversation about his brother.
I needed him to know.
“My uncle, they will find us won’t he?” I asked
“The moment he steps into this city, I will know about it, I hope he does, that way he will be caught, it’s my city, I can hurt him, kill him, and not a single soul would say a word about it. No one will ever know.” He said and I nodded
If he had a hand in killing my papa, I wanted him gone, I don’t care if he is a twin, papa never really liked him, he didn’t even trust him and he always thought that someone like him is trouble.

The ride was quiet, it was filled with snow though, we had to make a detour three times before I saw a gate opening, this is not a house, it’s an estate, I glanced around the houses, there was no one in them, I watched as we headed further into the place and the car came to a halt.
The moment we headed out, the strong wind caused goosebumps on my skin, I was certain, I could be able to be taken away with it.
“This is where you grew up, what of the house back in the city?”
“I lived here until I was ten, then we moved to the other place.” He explained and I nodded.
It didn’t sound right to me; his father would leave his own city and take them somewhere else; to live the rest of their lives, a city that belonged to another mafia king
Another lie.
When is he ever going to stop? It only made me feel annoyed and angry, I didn’t want to be any part of this, I wanted this to come to an end, and I wanted him to tell me the truth.
This house unlike the other one, the moment I walked in, I saw a portrait in the living room, of his father and his stepmother, as we walked further in.
There are pictures of all of them with their names on them, that’s when I saw Harry.
He looked a lot like Holden, even as a baby, Holden looked more like his brother.
Harry stood with a frown on his face, he didn’t look any happy and to make it all worse, I realized there was a darkness in his eyes, why’d made me wonder what he could do.
He knows we are here but Adrian has no idea that he knows any of this, he knows how things are going, and what we are doing, yet Adrian has no idea he knows.
“I will have something made for us.” He said and I nodded, we headed further into the house, and he took me to a room, where there was a picture of him.
“Why did you guys keep the house after you moved?” I asked. “It seems like everything is here, I know someone came in to clean it, but all the pictures and all,” I started to say as he glanced at me softly.
I badly wanted to yell he is lying and yet I didn’t, maybe I was scared, maybe I didn’t want us to fight and maybe I wanted to find out everything before I confronted him.
“My father cherished this house, it belonged to his father and his grand father, it has been in the generation for a long time, no one could ever se it to anyone, it was created by our great great great great grand father; who wanted every one to stay in the same place, but after he died and with the other leaders, they preferred being here with only their family and and non of the relatives.”
“You have relatives,” I asked
Could it be one of them messaging me and not Harry, why did I even think it was Harry, he is probably scared and maybe he changed his name to have a new life.
“We all do.” He said and I smiled. “We need to get you warm, your clothes will be ready the moment you head out of the bathroom Elara.” He did and I nodded.
I wanted to stop him so badly from leaving yet I didn’t, I will tell him after the merging ceremony.
