ELI

My mind has been moving in a dangerous direction. I'm trying to hold onto the patience I no longer have for the sake of my wife.

If it were up to me, this shitty town would be in ashes as we speak. But I promised Ari I'd hold on a little and trust Luca.

My phone vibrates, making me release my now sleeping wife and carefully place her on the couch. She has refused to leave our sons side for any reason.

She has been practically staying in this hospital, and she fainted when the doctors rushed in once his heart stopped beating.

I tried getting all kinds of hearts paying ten times their worth, but none was a match.

Frustration was slowly building up, and I felt like if I spent another minute sitting, I'd lose the little control I'm holding to.

This is my son we're talking about.

The only one we have.

If anything happens... I don't even want to go there.

Sliding to the right, I pick up Luca's call.

"Talk to me." I grit out.

"I'm sending something to your encrypted email." He says and hangs up.

A second later, my phone vibrates, and sure enough, it's a video attached to it. I press play immediately and what I see makes my blood fucking boil to a point I'm not sure if I'm still seeing correctly.

In it is my fucking brother and nephew, beating up Elias's little Erand boy and grabbing what I assume is Athena's fucking box.

The thing my son wouldn't shut up about till he passed out. Trying to stop this from leaking must have taken a toll on him.

I dial Luca's number, "I can see what you've sent."

"Do You think Noah told his parents about it and helped his father?" Luca asks as I pace back and forth trying to recollect my thought but all I see is fucking red.

"No. Noah has been obsessed with Athena. I don't think he did. I however think he purposely removed his mask to send us a message. Get back here, I'll find him. Bring Athena with you, I don't give a fuck what they fought about, I need her to do the surgery. lan can't do it alone."
