Chapter 54

                                    

                                          
One week later


                          
Eli's POV
                          
Life has been hard without Gia. 
                          
All I do is drink now to numb this loneliness.
                          
So far I've received two letters from her that always seems to straighten me up a bit.
                          
I also put money into my phone account, so I can receive calls from her which I'm looking forward to.
                          
Julius has been blowing up my phone.
                          
The nerve he has after everything he has done.
                          
I texted Francia earlier asking her to meet me at some hideout we used to go to.
                          
I'm currently waiting in my car for her arrival.
                          
10 minutes later, She finally arrives heading into the hideout.
                          
Getting out of the car shutting the door I make my way in.
                          
"I'm so glad you came into your senses", Francia splutters putting her hands on my shoulders.
                          
"Do not touch me!", I grit my teeth pushing her hands off of me.
                          
"Why did you call me here for then?", she grunts crossing her arms across her chest.
                          
"Why are you working for Julius?!", I hiss.
                          
"W-what n-no I'm not.. what are you talking about?", she stutters her face turning pale.
                          
"DON'T LIE TO ME I KNOW EVERYTHING!" 
                          
"H-how?"
                          
"The day you got the love of my life locked up.. I followed you to the warehouse and heard everything!"
                          
"I can't"
                          
"FUCKING TELL ME NOW?!", I yell slamming her to the wall.
                          
Francia winces in pain as her back hits the wall roughly.
                          
"I told you I can't!", she snaps hitting my chest.
                          
I quickly grab her by the throat as I slam her to the wall again.
                          
"P-please", she begs struggling to breath.
                          
"TELL ME OR I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW"
                          
Francia nods her head as she grips onto my hand trying to release her neck.
                          
I let go of her neck and she falls to the ground gasping for air.
                          
"SPEAK!"
                          
"Julius approached me and forced me to work for him or else he would kill me"
                          
"Why does he need you?"
                          
"He wanted Gia out of the picture since you were slacking as well as changing"
                          
"You meeting Veronica up to now was all planned?"
