The Seventh Son. (short story)

Part 9.

His fiery appearance sent chills down the spine of his right hand and assistant as he stands waiting for any commands, nervous eyes watching the boss who was reading the informations they fought hard to bring, it was a shock for him and his men when they came face to face with one of the dengerous men in town

with a grilling gaze Julian scaned the files again and again but he still can't believe his eyes, he promised Kathryn to find and bring her son back but he changed his mind, it takes one to know one and Elijah knowing and living with that bastard shouldn't make him suprised, but it did, out of all the people in this world he went to Leone!

the memories that they shared, the sweet teenagers days they lived clouded his mind, the love they once felt of each other disappeared because of him, because Leone was a coward, a liar, all the promises he gave and all the things he vowed were just bullshit, he hate him so much! he hate them so much! how could they do that to him? What Leone saw in Eli that wasn't in him? they fall in love this fast? but after all Elijah was a manipulating little thing so he shouldn't be suprised but it still hurts him, and what hurts more that he gave a chance to Leone but not to him! he still remember the first time he lay his eyes on Elijah, he run away hiding like he was a monster! why is everyone making fun of his emotions?

he banged the wooden desk again and again until his hand throbbed in pain but he was numb to it as he was thinking why they did that to him, he sacrificed all for Leone, his freedom his life his heart and even his preferences as he was now forced to never look twice at any man, he dated every girl out there until he met Elijah, he was ready to risk it all for him, for his grey sad eyes and those trembling lips and bouncy curls, they made him so weak he felt sick to the pit of his stomach, just imagining Leone's big hands touching Eli's curls instead of his, imagining Eli kissing the lips that he used to kiss everyday, those plump lips kissing those pouty ones made him feel things he thought he will never feel again

and he felt disgusted, rage overtook him and he unleashed it all without thought of consequences, he found himself battling a creature he thought he locked away so long ago, he kept screaming and breaking anything that touched his hands

he was furious, more than furious, how could he feel this way? he hated that he still linger for his touch, for his lips, for his hands all over his body, he tried to focus on something else other than these repulsive thoughts but he couldn't, all he can see is Leone's brown warm eyes as he smiled down at him and Elijah shy features as picked at him over his sisters's shoulders

he screamed loudly as his heart beats painfully, he hugged his shaking form eyes darting around the mess he made, he drew in deep breath trying to calm himself down as he didn't want to sink in the pit again, he was a ray of sunshine, a bubbly creature that brought joy to everyone but they broke him, he let them break him so the man he loved can survive, but his sacrefices were all in vain, as he was alone crying and shaking in a corner while they are living their lives

"What the hell happened here?"

the high pitched voice made him flinch as kathryn made her way inside his office, it irritated him how she's making sure that her new high heels didn't touch the spilled coffe on the floor, she blinked with her fake lashes again and again trying to absorb the situation not sparing his shaking form a glance, suddenly he hated her, so much hatred filled him toward her, he dated her in instant, needing the approval of society and his family, to assure them that he's normal, he had to date a woman that's older than him, a sob escaped his lips as his heart beated painfully, she scanned his crying form in shook that instanly changed to horror when her eyes catch a glimpse of the photos and files lying around

her mouth hang open as her eyes couldn't beleive what they are seeing, photos of Elijah half naked in what she assumed a bathroom while he hugged a man, then another one where the same man was lying on top of Eli while carrasing his cheek fondly! so many thoughts clouded her mind but they all lead to one way, then the hell broke loose as she headed toward Julian.
