Chapter 121
“I don’t
She answered again as she placed a hand on his left thigh, her hand high enough to suggest her intentions. She looked at him coyly.
Gabriel’s mouth went dry. He was mere moments away from losing all of his self control.
If Lori kept looking at him like that… he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
He had been starved for a very long time…
Suddenly, Emilia’s cry pierced the air and Lori quickly jumped to her feet and rushed to the guest room.
Gabriel groaned in frustration.
Elliot got off the elevator, deep in thoughts. He just wanted some fresh air. While his apartment looked nice and airy, it strangely felt choking.
A few minutes outside would do him some good. He thought as he started walking towards the lobby. didn’t think it was possible to be as jittery and nervous as he had been the last couple of days. He couldn’t stop thinking about the possibility that his brother had been the one to initiate the attack.
He shuddered to think of what Gabriel would do to him if he found out that he knew that his brother was alive or that he had talked to him.
Ever since that attack he had been unable to think straight. Should he come clean? Or stay mute? Does were the words that played in his head everyday.
When they moved, he had gotten distracted for the last few days he took them to unpack until he received that awful phone call.
Which was from his brother.
He had confronted his brother, but to his greatest surprise Lyle sounded genuinely clueless.
Lyle didn’t seem to know anything about the attack. Elliot struggled to disbelieve him but his brother sounded very believable. Plus, there was no way he
could have actually pulled it off. That was what he said.
And he realized it was true. Lyle had been in hiding for years, too scared to ask for Gabriel’s forgiveness. He had no allies, no money, no pack, it didn’t make
sense for him to initiate such an attack.
The only other problem he had was that Lori had walked in on their conversation and while she was clueless, he didn’t particularly trust her not to tell
Gabriel.
He got a text and looked at his phone.
It was from his brother.
Hey. Why don’t we meet up for some drinks? I happen to be in town for one more day- Lyle
His heart skipped a beat. Lyle was in town.

Chapter 121
Should he go out?
Sure Gabriel wouldn’t care if he did, in fact nobody would care he wasn’t sure it was a good idea.
He decided to call his brother to decline his invitation.
“Hey…. I don’t think I can make it.”
“Oh come on! I don’t know when next I’ll be back in town! This is our last chance!”
Lyle said from the other end and Elliot sighed.
“I’m not sure…”
“Please Elliot! I just want to see my little brother again. One last time before I leave for Chicago!”
Elliot hesitated. Then he finally caved in.
“Oh okay. No problem.”
“But I can’t stay long and I’m not drinking!”
He warned and Lyle agreed.
He ended the call and pocketed his phone.
He’d go back upstairs to change.
He turned back and saw Draco a few steps away from him and froze.
Draco raised his eyebrow, wondering why Elliot had looked so shocked to see him.
“Draco…”
Elliot said nervously.
Draco narrowed his eyes at him.
“Everything okay?”
He asked and Elliot started chuckling.
“Sure! Sure! Everything’s fine…”
“Where are you going?”
Draco asked and Elliot shrugged.
