Chapter 733: 733 What He Had Lost

733 What He Had Lost

Elijah followed after Ezra, still not satisfied with his ambiguous answer from earlier. He needed to know about his plans concerning Mimi.

Hence the moment his brother stopped at their car and opened the door to get in, he shut it close with anger instantly, “That is not funny,” Elijah rebuked him, “We still aren’t on peaceful ground with the Luciano family and you’re trying to make things worse by going after Mimi, Victor’s woman? Have you completely lost it or you’re simply asking for death?”

Provoked, Ezra turned and pushed him hard on the chest, “And whose fault is it that things got this bad?!” He snapped at him, “Whose fault is it that we are in a feud with the Luciano family?”

“It’s not like I intentionally asked for trouble?!” Elijah retorted.

“Well, that’s the problem, you intentionally did ask for it,” Ezra told him right in the face, “You have always been the favorite, the beau of the season, and others always had to give in to you because you were the apple of our eyes. You were immunized, having the brothers that saved your miserable out of trouble and you must have felt invisible, invulnerable to danger, and of course, soared higher. ”

“You don’t know what you’re saying,” Elijah shook his head in denial. He didn’t believe what his brother Ezra was saying. He was merely being temperamental right now.

However, Ezra continued, “It must be great to be you, never paying the consequences for your actions, always being bailed out or having others pay the price for you. You never had to suffer, you’re one lucky man, brother,” His tone was thick with sarcasm.

“No, it isn’t so,” Elijah said more to himself. He was so shocked by his brother’s assessment that he stood at that point, his feet stuck to the ground.

He did not mean to cause trouble for his family, he had aimed to rescue Arianna from Marcel at first. But then things changed and his mission shifted as well to the extent of infiltrating the Luciano clan with his fake identity.

.....

Although he tried to deny it and justify his actions, now that Elijah thought clearly about it, he realized that his backing had given him confidence. He was Elijah, the last-born son, and sibling to the powerful Draven brothers. No matter what kind of trouble he got into, as far as he was alive they would always rescue him.

The chilling revelation made goosebumps spread up his arms and Elijah was suddenly weak. The guilt gnawed at his chest and his eyes were suddenly open. But then, it was too late and there was no room for another chance.

Ezra opened the door to the driver’s seat deciding to leave him all by himself. However, he stopped at the last minute and turned to his brother to say, “Do you know your problem?”

Elijah lifted his eyes to his, curious to know what he had to say about him.

“You never had the chance to lose. No, you don’t know what it’s like to lose.” He corrected himself, “Father and our brothers built this safe paradise for you so you don’t get to experience the same hardship we did. Your future was handed on a platter of gold and that was our mistake, giving you an easy life. You didn’t have the chance to sacrifice anything and I pray that one day you would lose something that matters so much to you. Only then, would you understand? ”

And with those words being said, he got into the car and stirred the engine to life. The car roared with power and with no care about how he intended to get home tonight, Ezra drove off. He couldn’t be around the little fucker without beating him to death.

Elijah stood outside the hospital, looking like a lost person. But his head was filled with thoughts instead, mostly regrets as he went over the events of the past weeks. His brother Ezra might be right on many other things except one. He already lost something that mattered to him.

Adele.

He has tried to forget her, after all, if it was easy to get over Arianna, her case wouldn’t be difficult either. But he was wrong, because the memories of their time together haunted his sleep morning and night. Keeping himself busy and helping Eric with his wedding preparation had seemed like a distraction. But it never lasted.

At the end of the day, he was back to dealing with the demons at night that never stopped tormenting him. Elijah couldn’t help but wonder how Adele was living right now. Was she still hurt by his betrayal or had she moved on already?

The thought of Adele moving on with another man made his heart throb. He hadn’t gotten the chance to ask Mimi about Adele because he had been wary of her – he doesn’t want her pulling his hair again.

Hence, Elijah decided to take the matters into his hands. He was going to call Adele. He would have gone directly to her place but he couldn’t risk losing his head on his shoulder and starting a war after his brother’s effort for peace.

Heart pounding in his throat, Elijah dialed her number with a different number. After his identity was revealed, he left everything that belonged to the Luciano family behind. But then, he never forgot her number, it was ingrained in his head.

Her line was ringing and he waited patiently for her to answer. However, when the phone rang for a while and no one responded to it, Daniel was about to hang up only for the call to be picked up at the last minute.

“Hello?” He heard her familiar mellow voice and he became nervous. From her relaxed tone, It was obvious that Adele had not expected him when she answered the call. However, when he didn’t say a word, she became suspicious and asked.

“Who is this?”

And yet Elijah found himself unable to answer. However, unknown to him, the wheels were turning in Adele’s head and she called,

“Elijah?”

With lightning speed, he ended the call and turned, clutching his pounding heart. For the first time in his life, Elijah realized with shame what he had lost and he released an anguished roar in the air.
