章 459: The vendetta was personal

Elijah was on the floor doing push-ups, sweat coating his fair skin and his body trying to buckle under the pressure but he refused to give up until he broke his usual record. Lately, he has been working out like a mad man trying to push his body to the limit so he could be in his best form and at the same time distract himself.

When he wasn't working alongside Adele, he was at home where he would be tormented with the thoughts of Arianna. He had seen her faint that night and that had gored him deeply. He never wanted to hurt her, that hasn't been his intention, he merely wanted to feed her hope, and remind her that he hadn't given up on her so she would snap out of whatever delusion she had with Marcel, but it seems she couldn't take it. She seriously hasn't fallen for that bastard, right?

 God, no.
