Chapter 579: 579

579 [Bonus Chapter] Expose His Identity

With Marcel and Adele gone, Arianna was hoping to get some alone time with Elijah so she could speak and convince him to leave her alone, but Marcel always seems to have other plans. Because as soon as he was gone, there was Luca to take his place and keep an eye on her.

Sadly for Arianna, Luca was as fiercely loyal to Marcel just as his cousin Victor was to him if not more loyal – Victor could look past some of her mistakes thanks to their friendship. But not Luca, he was literally dedicated to Marcel.

Arianna couldn’t help but wonder what made these soldiers so devoted to her boyfriend. They carried out his last orders and could even worship the very ground he stepped on. Was it fear or truly respect?

Do they admire Marcel that much? Why were criminals so devoted to their leaders? She wished she could study the workings of their brains.

Well, thanks to Luca’s presence, Arianna could not talk freely with Elijah. However, not talking to him either would make it more awkward, so she decided to go with the flow.

“So Adele, huh?” Arianna picked a topic that wouldn’t seem too suspicious to Marcel once Luca decides to tattle-tell on her.

“Yeah, what about her?” Aziz pretended to be ignorant of the hint she was throwing at him.

Of all people, why Adele? To use her to get close to her? What was his whole deal? Does he know he was signing his own death by deciding to mess with Marcel’s cousin? She wanted to ask a lot of questions! But she couldn’t.

“Nothing,” She shrugged, “I’m just curious how a guy like you gets a woman like that?”

.....

What do you really want with her? That was her real question.

“You think I have ulterior motives in approaching her?” He asked innocently, yet lifted a brow when Luca wasn’t looking.

He went on to say, “You believe that I’m not worthy to be her partner because she’s a Luciano princess because I’m a nobody.” Elijah had a hurt expression and sounded so sincere that if she didn’t know his true identity, she would be deceived by his acts as well. He was truly a master of deception.

Arianna glared at him, he wanted to play this game?

Fine.

It was on.

Arianna readjusted in her seat, crossing her leg over the other. Leaning back comfortably, she said,

“Who knows? I have no idea. But I would not be surprised if that’s the case. After all, It’s not the first time that a Nobody hopes to be Somebody and climbs up the hierarchy by abusing the word, love.” Arianna challenged him.

“I would never hurt Adele,”

Liar, you’re hurting her already.

Adele already liked him and Arianna had a feeling that he didn’t know that yet. Messing around with people’s feelings was not funny, she was pissed off. For once, Arianna was tempted to expose his identity and be done with him once and for all. She was a killer anyway – Cassie and Kenith were evidence. One more wouldn’t make that huge of a difference.

“So you love her then,” Arianna asked him and strangely enough, she didn’t feel any jealousy at all.

Perhaps, she had even gotten her closure after finding out Marcel did not plan on killing her for her sake. However, if Marcel finds out Elijah intentionally messed around with Adele, Arianna had a feeling that the peace offering would be off the table.

“I love Adele. She’s the only woman that accepted me the way I am.”

Liar liar, pants on fire.

How could he love a woman who wasn’t even sure they were in a relationship? Arianna bet he said it for show, just like her, Elijah must have known Luca’s role and was feeding him bullshit information.

Nonetheless, Arianna got the answer she wanted and finally knows what to do. Elijah has lost his damn mind, Marcel has to know about him.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Reaching for the wine on the table, Arianna intentionally knocked it over and it poured on her coat.

“Shite!” She cursed, took off the coat, and tried to wipe the wine off it but it was stained already.

“Luca!” Arianna called him, murmuring under her breath.

He came over.

“Get rid of this and get me another from my wardrobe,” She ordered, handing the coat to him and he accepted it reluctantly.

It was obvious from his debatable expression that Luca was unsure about leaving her all alone with Aziz. He was torn between Marcel’s instruction and Arianna’s needs.

“God, I’m so cold! Hurry up before I catch a cold!” Arianna whined like a baby, leaving Luca no other but to leave them alone as he left to get her the coat.

As soon as Luca left, the ambiance changed as Arianna and Elijah ended their pretenses.

“You never cease to amaze me, Arianna? With your capacity, you should be paving your own way in the world, not beside a man that doesn’t deserve you.” Elijah told her.

“Quit the bullshit because the only reason I’m not punching you in the face right now is that eyes are watching and I don’t want to make a scene. However, I thought to inform you because you’re not leaving here, the same way you came. I’m going to tell Marcel about you. ” She broke the news to him.

Other than the fact that Elijah was taken aback by her sudden decision, there was no other expression on his face. If anything, he looked disappointed by her change of heart.

“So you’re going to rat me out?” He sighed.

“It’s something I should have done the moment I saw your face, however, I saved your ass for old time’s sake.”

“What changed now then?” He was curious.

“You lead on Adele. The heart is not something you play with, Elijah. I would not let you continue with it. ”

He nodded in understanding.

At least he knows why she’s doing this.

Arianna took a deep breath knowing she was about to take a big step.

She said to him,” Marcel has given me his word, you would not be harmed. ”

He snickered, “And you believe him? ”

“Marcel doesn’t go back on his words and if he says he wouldn’t end you, he would keep to it. However, I would not assure you that you wouldn’t be spared from some tortures,” She reminded him. Arianna knew how this worked and Marcel would not let him go like that without a good beating.

But to her surprise, Elijah began to laugh. He laughed so sarcastically it pissed her off

“What is funny?” She scowled at him

Elijah looked up at her, erasing every smile from his face.

“I expected more from you, Arianna, and so does your mother.”
