ELODIE noveldrama

“Well, he is a grown man now brother and he is telling us he is alright and not crazy. What more can we do?” I was relieved to see that he was alright and to hear his reasons. But was that enough, was he really okay, or did everything haunt him behind closed door and kept him up at night?

That was what worried me the most. “Why don’t you try and matching your words to your energy. You are saying everything is alright and you are fine with his explanation, but I can see the worry in your eyes. You are worried about the same thing I am. What is happening when he is alone.”

He always could read me well. “I wish I can be a fly on his wall just to see if he is really okay, he is the only one I have left Luke and if he is not okay. I would like to know on time so I can get him help. Taking a life is not easy, you and I both know that. How can he be fine after taking two and not having anyone to held him deal with it after?”

Luke hummed, he knew how messed up I was when I did it for the first time. I couldn’t sleep, I saw the man everywhere I went. But because of who my father was, or the man who raised me. I had to get over that every quickly.

He gave me a week but when I didn’t get over it as quickly as he wanted me to. He kept sending me with the men, asking them to let me be the one to do the killings. By the end of the month, I was numb, I couldn’t feel anymore, and my reputation grew from there.

But that was not what I wanted for my son, the reason I felt the family was for my kids to not grow up in that environment. Seeing how things turned out, I can say I failed.

“I tried you know.” Luke started, he must have been feeling guilty as well. “When Ethan told me he was a psychopath I didn’t want to believe it.” Nick said he was not a psychopath, and I believed him.

My son just took care of the problem, and I saw nothing wrong with that. “I didn’t want to believe it because he was as convincing with me as he was now with us. One of the traits of a psychopath is that they are very cunning and manipulative. They knew just what to say to get people on their side.”

I couldn’t believe what he was saying, I thought he understood Nick’s reasons like I did. What changed, why was he suddenly saying those things. “Don’t get me wrong, I like my nephew and want to be wrong about this, but we won’t know until we get him professional help.”

I stood, I felt like I was not drunk enough to hear the nonsense he was spewing. “I have already contacted someone, his going to have a session with Nick and determine whether he is a psychopath or not. If we have something to worry about or not.”

I poured myself a drink. “Tell me something, do you want Nick to be a psychopath, will that help you in running the organisation? I heard what happened back at the island, what he did and how much our men respect and fear him now. is that what you want, to use him.”

Luke looking at me then shook his head. “You can be very stupid and childish sometimes. Why would I look for a doctor for him if I was planning on using him? I would have suggested he take over the organisation already if that was my plan.”

I scoffed; he was the cunning one. I couldn’t be sure what he was thinking. “Elodie, we are grandparents now, don’t you think it’s time we left that world? It’s hurting our kids and grandchildren now. do we want to be looking over our shoulder all the time at this age?”

He paused looking at me, trying to read my face. “I want to be grandpa now; I want to take my grandchildren out without being followed around by that army of men out there. I want peace now, to enjoy life with my daughter

and her kids.”

He sighed leaning back on the couch. “I have lost too much time with Olivia because of the Don, now, I have no excuse as to why I can’t be a better person, I am the Don now and I make the rules. Helping your son is also helping my daughter and her son. I don’t want them to be dealing with a sick man.”

I glared, he might have been right, but I didn’t like that he called my son a sick man, that was not confirmed yet. “Fine, he can see the doctor and after that. no matter what the results are, I need him to go back to taking care of the company. I have been standing in for him for a very long time. Nick was fine when he was running the company, and I think it’s time he went back.”

Luke nodded, “I agree, with you on that. he must go back to his routine. Whether here or back in Summer Strand.” “No! Summer strand is a no go, that is where the family and the business is. He might get even more involved if he went there. So, no. he must be here.” Luke laughed.

“As if you have a say in that, Nick is a grown man, and he will decide where he wants to live.”

“Then what makes you think you can make him see the doctor? He is a grown man as you said, not a child that can be told what to do and when.” That shut him up very quickly.

I sighed, “There is no need to bicker about this, lets just ask him but I would prefer he stays here, he is over Olivia now. He doesn’t have to go back to Summer Strand.”

“That is what you and everyone else thinks.”
