Chapter 24 Crane's Pov
- I am slowly losing my mind. My brother has been making it unbearable for me. Every day was like a living hell for me. Eliot has been watching me like a hawk, all thanks to Karla and the stupid stunt that she pulled a few days ago. Now I can't even have a little breath of fresh air. Whenever I see my reflection, I can't even recognize myself. The eye bags under my eyes keep getting bigger. I am slowly turning into a shadow of my formal self with no redemption. Yesterday I had a date with Evelyn, the wolf that Eliot wants me to marry but I didn't feel any spark. She was pretty well-mannered, too docile. Even when I acted like a jerk yesterday and disrupted our lunch by throwing a tantrum in the restaurant and being rude to the waiter but she still wasn't angry rather that smile never left her face. There was something off about that smile. Like it was a practiced. If I got married to that kind of person, I don't think it would last. Our family will be one of chaos. I don't know why Elliot doesn't see what I was saying. Why was he so adamant about me getting married to that girl? She was nothing like Amelia.
- Amelia was kind-hearted, jovial, doesn't pretend. Whenever I annoyed her, instead of giving me a practiced smile, she would tell me straight to my face that she didn't like what I did. She never liked me being rude to anyone. She would never do that. I was always skeptical and afraid of my brother because I knew what he was capable of rather, she always talked about how she envied the strong bond I have with Elliot, not knowing that was all a facade.
- Elliot has gotten so many candidates for me to choose from to pick a wife as soon as possible. He threatens me using Amelia. I don't know what he installed for her but something was telling me that my plans were different from that of Elliot's. He was not into bringing Amelia back instead I think he's plotting to kill her but that was not what I wanted. I know that what we did to her she will never forgive me but that was a risk I was willing to take. I would rather see her alive and well than to see her dying. I have tried so many times to find out what Elliot was plotting but all I ever come up it are blank ideas. It's like I am all alone, running around in circles If only Kayla would be truthful and tell me if Amelia has written to her, then this wouldn't be a problem for me. I will know if she's alive and well but I haven't heard anything from her. I know that I am the last person Amelia would ever write to since I practically broke her heart. Elliot does not leave any hints on what he is planning for Amelia and I know that Lydia knows nothing because if she did, she would have blurted it out since she has a very strong hatred for Amelia and will do anything to bring her down. I guess that someone from Jackson Kane's Pack was giving Elliot information. I can't believe he used my own idea against me.
