Bab 14: Come back home, Eithan

Trustin walked out of the room when he felt he was on the verge of losing his mind and control over his body. He directly walked toward Eithan's study. He could smell his scent coming from that side.

"You are here?" Eithan asked as he sensed his scent too.

"Why? Do you want to spend more time with your sister in law?" Trustin asked with a smirk, as he went to him and sat on the couch, to which Eithan told him that he was not in the mood to stay at the Hunter Mansion anymore, he hated being there.

"Hm, let's go talk outside, we really do have a lot to sort out," Trustin replied and stood up, gestured for Eithan to follow him, and walked away from there.

They went to a place where they used to go and relax together, the rooftop of the Hunter Corporation.

"So? Why are you treating Ely like this?" Eithan questioned, he knew Trustin very well, he had no mercy and love for anyone in this world, other than his mother and himself. Being his brother was a blessing for him but sometimes it felt as if Trustin had a lot of cruelty for this world.

"Ely? You are still calling her that?" Trustin asked and looked at him from head to toe, which made Eithan roll his eyes as he told him that Elysia might be his wife, but he should not forget that they had been friends for so long and he should not stop him from seeing her the way he did today.

"Is that so? But why not, she is my wife now." Trustin stated, he put his hand in his pocket and clenched his hands.

"Stop clenching your hands in your pocket," Eithan said and continued, "Let me tell you, brother, I am not your enemy, we are brothers, and she is your wife. I know my limits, but you cannot stop us from being friends." He stated and patted his shoulder.

"You should know that I am not into women, and I am not a threat to you; so, you should know Elysia is alone there and she is not like us. It might scare her to meet people like us, especially that cunning Joseph. how could I have left her alone between these people? She is so innocent and unknown to the cruelty of this world." Eithan told him.

Even though he was not a person who would speak this much. It was about Elysia, who was the one and only female friend he had, and also she was so innocent that anyone close to her, and understand her, would want to protect her.

Trustin heard Eithan's words and found them reasonable. Eithan was not into women and had liked men all along, that was the reason he was punished and was locked in the basement for a long time; It was Trustin who helped him escape and settled him far away from the Hunter estate.

"Hm," He replied and told him that he had no problem with their friendship but Elysia had made huge trouble for him, she had told Joseph all the things and secrets about their marriage, which shouldn't be told.

"What? She told Joseph, of all people?" Eithan exclaimed in shock and pinched between his brows and said that she was really innocent and must have been tricked by Joseph.

"Hm, now that he knows, I am afraid, he would tell dad and make trouble for us." Trustin shared his worries with Eithan. In this life, he could only trust him blindly.

"I know he will take chance to attack you. But what should be done?" Eithan asked as he took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

They both fell silent; after a while, Trutin told Eithan that he was really alone there, Mr. Hunter might have been biased towards him but he was greedy. And whoever satisfy his greed, would be the one who would claim Hunter's Corporation, and to hold onto that, he needed to lessen the power of Joseph, and for that, Eithan was needed, he wanted him to help him.

"What? No? I cannot do this!" Eithan exclaimed, and told him that it was already hard for him to escape this prison-like house, and he did not want to go back again, and as long as their father was alive, he would kill him seeing him back in the house.

"I know, but now that I have the hold of power in my hand, dad could do nothing, even though he is still in the management but I have control over it!" He said and told him that as long as he want, he could do anything but for that, he needed his brother by his side, it felt lonely for him to fight alone.

"I really do not want to go back, but if my brother is alone, I will come and help you, but you have to promise me that you are not going to mistreat Ely, I adore her as my friend just as I love my brother," Eithan said, even though he was hesitant and did not want to go back but seeing how alone Trustin was, he could do nothing and agree with him. He then told him that he might have agreed to work with him, but he would not go back home and live there.

"What are you saying? I do not care whom you love or like, but you should know that you are the young master of Hunter Mansion, even if he recognizes you or not, but you are my brother; you should not care about dad anymore; I will take care of him." He stated, grabbed his shoulder, and patted him on the back.

Eithan did not know what was about to happen, but he could see in Trustin's eyes that he was really alone and needed him, and if Trustin needed him, he would go back even if the whole world opposed him.

"Ok," he replied and looked at the sky with an itch in his heart.
