Ana nodded. "Darling, Dorian has no say in this matter. If anyone is to be kicked out it's that boy." Though Ana wouldn't do that either, his one purpose in this house was to protect her son, and Cruz came above all else, and that included the girl in her arms. But she didn't say it. Cruz was her boy - her baby and if the cheat needed to stay to keep him safe, then he'd stay... He'd just stay far away from Elyse.
"I'll go find Christian and have him start taking care of your things."
Ana didn't find Christian. She did look, but instead opted to pack Elyse's things herself. How hard could it be? But she wanted to send a message to the boy too.
Ana opened their shared room and saw it was much like Dorian had arranged it or had been arranged prior to his arrival. The suite was still perfect, and the bedroom was not much different. Other than the lone bag on the floor there was nothing out of place, except the rumbled bed. Neither of the two Atharim guests had even bothered to unpack. What kind of life did they lead? Ana checked the closets and found a few of Elyse's things hanging. She packed them easily into the bag Elyse had brought. The drawers were much the same but she'd found nothing of Nox's anywhere.
A throat cleared and Ana jumped. She turned and looked and saw Christian. She gave him a smile. "Did he run away already?"
Christian laughed, "You can't throw his things in the hall. He asked them to be moved to the basement to leave Elyse as much space as possible." Christian moved to Ana and wrapped his arms around her.
"How could he do that?"
Christian asked. "Cheat on her? Or sleep with a man? Because you know the answer to both."
Ana sighed and pulled away from her lover and smiled up at him. "Dorian is a bad influence."
"It had nothing to do with Dorian, Ana. I only caught the last bit of his story, but he's kept it suppressed for his father's approval. He's lived a lie his whole life. At least Dorian has never lied to you when it truly mattered."
Ana frowned, "He's lied enough, Christian."
He nodded. "He has. I will take Elyse's things downstairs. Tell her a car is waiting to take her where ever she wants to go. And that the house is always welcome to her. Dorian's words. Nox will keep his promise of keeping her safe but he can't do that if she leaves."
"She won't ever trust him again."
Christian nodded. "I think she'll trust him in that. Or she will eventually."
Christian took the back from her and Ana went back to her own room to tel Elyse. "Everything is ready. Christian has a car ready for you. Sweetheart, you will come back. No one, and I mean it, no one wants you to leave."
