Marked for Evil.

24- Complications..

Elias' pov:

Ok so I came back to my place and Addie wasn't there so I rung her and it went straight to voicemail.

I don't know where the hell she is but I really hope she isn't with Ryle again because like for obvious reasons. He's so sketchy I mean I know I do drugs well I did drugs I don't anymore but like he's even more sketchy than that.

It's just confusing she says she hates him but goes to him every time he asks. "Elias!" The door opened and it was Adelynn.

"Right where the hell have you been and don't lie to me." I demanded to know. "I went to my dad, he actually wanted me to come to his house for once!!" She screamed in excitement?

"Well done? What happened?" I asked. "Well we had an argument.. and some things were broken.." She exclaimed smiling innocently like I don't know she was the one who broke things.

"And why did you argue in the first place?" I questioned. I mean I know her and her dad have arguments but it's for a reason.

"He's been lying to me the whole 17 years of my life about having a brother." A what? A brother? Addie has a brother..? "Wait what? Who is he?" I asked in a quick voice.

"That's the thing. Who he is, is what started the argument.. I really think it's time I told you my last name.." She explained.

"Well what is it?" I hurried her to tell me. "Rivera. My brother, well half brother, is Ryle Rivera.." I couldn't say anything. Ryle?!

Out of everyone who could be her brother, wait maybe that's why he takes more interest in her than me because he knew before her!

"Are you taking the piss? You have to be." I said. She just shook her head. "When I stormed out of the house he actually came out to the car and hugged me and then gave me the opportunity to join the family business."

She gave a short confused laugh after saying that, I mean I don't blame her the person she hates ends up being her brother. It's ironic.

"I can't process it, I had to turn down the offer for the moment but I can't get my head round it. I also found out I had a sister but she died when she was six and I can't process any of this!" She raised her voice in irritation.

She let out a deep sigh like she had calmed down. "Right Adelynn. It's 1:30 in the morning I'm tired as fuck ok? I need my sleep I have a shift in the afternoon, I will help you process this in the morning or when we wake up since it's kind of already morning.. Anyway besides the point! Go to sleep block it out of your mind and relax."

I dragged on the 'relax' at the end. "You know you're probably right, yeah let's uh go to bed." She said heading to her room.

I went to the fridge and poured myself a glass of water. You know what since Ryle doesn't have the stress of whether to tell Adelynn anymore I guess that means something else..

I smiled at my own thoughts and headed to bed.

Ryle's pov:

The next morning had arrived and it also meant it was the morning after Adelynn found out.

I got out of bed did my usual things and headed down the stairs. "Father."

I spoke walking past him. "Ryle wait." I turned my head. "Look I think it was good that you told her. No I don't think her reaction was okay but she knows now and we don't have to lie anymore. Just don't tell her anything about the mafia. It's mine now remember? I tell people what I think they need to know, nothing more." I spoke coldly to him.

"Tell your sister that I hope she's calmed down and ask her to join us for dinner one day. You can choose when." He suggested.

I gave him a weird look and rolled my eyes. "Sure if she shows up." I said to him.

"What do you mean 'if she shows up'? Of course she's going to show up, why wouldn't she?" He exclaimed.

"I'll explain it to you later I need to go to work." I walked out of the door to my car and got in.

I am wondering whether Adelynn will show up today, if she doesn't it's not a terrible thing I'll just drop by and invite her to dinner.

I was driving past her apartment building until I slammed the breaks. "Ow!" I yelled out. I think I pulled a fricking muscle.

And the only reason I slammed the breaks was because someone was standing in the middle of the road! I heard a knock against my window, I rolled my window down.

"Ryle! What is it with you hurting Adelynn all the time?!" Elias, lovely lovely Elias. "Hurting? I think you have me mistaken for someone else." I stated.

"Oh shut it I know you're her brother and I know you hurt her so please enlighten me on how it's someone else who is hurting her." He exclaimed.

Why does he have to make a scene in the middle of the road. "Let me get out of the middle of the road and park up and then I'll tell you everything you want to know." I suggested.

"Fine but hurry." He demanded. Not going to lie he's pretty cute when he's mad. You know what maybe now Adelynn knows I won't hurt anyone or well she thinks it I can go near Elias, right?

I parked up and got out and pulled him to the side. "You have to be quiet. Understand?" I questioned. He just nodded.

"Right you know we are siblings because we have the same dad. Now if anyone is hurting her it's our father, he does the damage not me." I explained.

Hopefully that will stick in his head. "How am I suppose to believe you aren't exactly like him?" Oh my days.

I took a deep breath and smiled. "Because if I'm like anyone it's my mother, the kind hearted, fair, protective one." I said.

I mean I know I was more like my father but I was protective but he doesn't need to know that.

I turned my head slightly but he put his hands on my face and turned my head back making me look at him. "Why are you avoiding me?" His face went from pissed off to hurt? Maybe, I'm not sure what that is.

"I have to." I stated. "Ryle, you were flirting with me in the bar I work at. You got hard from me sitting on your lap and now you're avoiding me at any cost. Just tell me why, please."

He had a sense of plea in his tone of voice. I felt bad but I just don't know. He walked closer to me, our breaths became heavier as we got closer.

"Elias please, don't." I warned him knowing what he was about to do. He lifted himself up to my face.

"I'm sorry but I need to know." He replied back before pressing his lips against mine and in that moment of comfort I completely forgot everything I knew, everything I had worked for. It lasted a few seconds before I pulled back realising if I carried on with this I'd lose everything I'd ever worked for.

He kept looking into my eyes. "I have my answer, I hope it's the same answer you have."

I might of saw a tear as he said that and turned around.

I wanted to stop him, I wanted to feel that comfort again but I can't. I had to shake it off, it was a kiss that's all it was. I had to come to terms with that.

I'm literally rooting for these two I love them so much. Do you? Will these make complications or not?
