Chapter 169: Opposites Attract

Everything was temporary back under control. Ririna was in his brother's place just as she said she would be. Eli disconnected his call to Evan and looked down at his trembling hands. He clenched his fist hard and was tempted to throw his phone on the wall, but he decided not to while Skyler was still around and sleeping.

It was alright. Ririna was safe and hadn't left him really. She requested some space, and he gladly gave it to her even though he really wanted to keep her by his side. No. She wouldn't leave him. Just like what she had said… she loved him and still needed him.

Eli walked back in his study room and gazed out of the window. He stood there, watching as the sun lightened up the city, waking up people from their sleep to start their day. He couldn't recall the last time he had found himself at such a loss.
