Chapter 60 Exhausted
“You have not said anything since we got home.”m
“I am just exhausted Adrian,” I whispered, maybe everything made me miss my papa, it’s a reminder that he is gone and I hated the feeling of that.
Without saying a word. I rushed out of the living room and I headed into my bathroom, the moment I stood under the shower, the hot water dropping onto my skin, it made me feel better, it made me feel like I was being ripped apart but in a good way.
I remained like that for another hour, making sure to mix the water with a cold one so I would not burn when I headed out.

After getting dressed, I found Adrian in the bedroom, he settled on the bed as his eyes were on mine
“What are you doing here?” I whispered so low as I stared at him, his room was right beside me, we hadn’t started sharing a room officially, there were no guards in the house at the moment so it didn’t matter
“Is there something you are meant to tell me yet you have not Elara?” He asked and I didn’t speak.
I didn’t understand what he meant by that until I saw my phone, my phone was right in his hand, then realization dawns on me, I had not, I didn’t delete the first message that I got from his brother.
“You can’t be checking my phone, Adrian, that’s an invasion of privacy”. I stated and he rolled his eyes at me
I rushed toward him, trying to grab the phone but he didn’t let me do that.
“Give it back, I don’t like what you have done, it doesn’t make sense to me, give back my phone.”
“You don’t like what I have done, you are the one in contact with someone you should not even be talking to, someone you don’t even know.” He yelled.
“Your papa was killed Elara, and not only that, this is the mafia, it’s filled with horrible people that want to her you, that will lie and manipulate you.”
“I guess you are one of them,” I whispered so low I could barely hear what I had just said over the pounding in my chest.
My eyes were on his for a moment.
“You want the truth, here is the truth, I never once lied to you about anything, you know everything about me maybe even more than you on because you know that my papa will make sure you know everything that is to know about me and you, when I asked you about you, you fucking lied to me,” I yelled. “You had a fucking choice, you could have said that you were not in the mood to speak, you could have said that, you didn’t want to ever talk about it but what did you do instead? You lied to me.”
“I didn’t lie to you, an enemy could have been the one that sent this fucking message, did it ever occur to you that it’s your uncle doing this, he wants to lure you into some place, make sure that you regret what you did during the dinner, and without me, I would not lead your mafia.”
“Is that what you think? I will give you a chance, one last chance to tell me the truth, Adrian.” I breathed out.
He glanced at me for a moment before he asked two strides toward me, his eyes were on mine as he stared at me, he didn’t utter any word, all he did was stare when he moved even closer to me.
“Tell me what you did to your family? Tell me what you did to your stepmother.”
“Who told you?” he asked holding my hand, it was not rough at the same time it was not gentle.
I didn’t fear because I know that he can’t hurt me even if he wanted me, not because I trust him, but because I trust my mafia, to don’t let him ever think of hurting me.
“Tell me what you did to Holden? Tell me what you did to your father, you laid on the fucking bed and all you could do is lie to me about how you care about them, lie to me about how your step mother was the best, you even called her mom, you never told me she was your fucking step mom and now you stand here and get upset that I was texting someone, I never intended to meet the fucking person, or are you scared that Harry is still alive.” I said and he looked away.
“You need to know both sides of a story because you do anything.”
“What lies did you tell my papa? What did you fucking tell him to make him think that you are great for me? That’s why you never wanted me to read the files, I didn’t want to, either but you pushed me into doing this, you forced me into reading what I didn’t even want to look at.” I yelled as he stared at me.
“I didn’t- yes you did, you killed all of them because you are a monster and to make it all worse, I am sure you are still looking for your brother to make sure he is dead too, you want to find him.”
“I hurt them only because I didn’t have a choice.”
“Yes Adrian you didn’t have any choice, it was sad for you, it was so sad that you had to murder a ten-year-old, and then cry about it, and take me to his grave pretending that you loved and you cared for him, making me think that wow you must be wonderful,” I yelled.
“Watch your tongue; you don’t say a word about Holden.”
“Are you scared it’s going to remind you of the type of person you are?” I smiled as I stared at him. I didn’t care what he thinks, what he did can never be forgiven.
“Elara don’t.”
“No you don’t, you lie that’s all you do, you killed all of them, you didn’t even care and yes I was talking to someone behind your back only because you won't tell me the truth,” I yelled before I rushed into my room.
I am done with this conversation
