Chap 29 - The Greco Brothers

Third P.O.V

The Greco Family is one of the oldest Greek - Italian Families in City Daire as well as the true owners of Spring Mansion and the founders of the Galatia Ball. They were the most sought out family after the Archambeau family. Many people have tried to get close to them but they were always found out and chased away. As a result, everyone guarded against the young men of the family. They are Gabriele Greco, Alessandro Greco and Salvatore Greco. The three spears of the Greco family who now currently head the family position together.

They are people who value family over power. They currently have been puzzling everyone they knew. Their behaviours changed a complete one eighty from acting as too serious people to somewhat laid back but still serious people. Gabriele is the President of Isla Fabrics, Alessandro is the Film King while Salvatore is an upcoming fashion designer. The reason why people at the party were surprised was because Alessandro didn't act caring except to those whom he knew well, so it was a shock for everyone to see him step up for Lucien Fabbri. What stunned them even more was Gabriele speak to Elijah Fabbri and Clive Sanchez. Salvatore was grinning a Cheshire cat grin. He knew what was going on through both of his brother's minds.

They were staking their claim on their lovers. Salvatore himself was looking for his future partner at the ball but couldn't find them. He felt disappointed but knew that they would meet soon. He turned back to observe the socialites. He noticed how the older gentleman and the Black heir strike conservations and make deals now that his future brother-in-law's identity as the CEO and founder of Luxway was out in the open. He looked to see how Kylian Dubois and his wife Aurelie looked suspicious and discussing something under their breaths. He had an inkling that it was about Elijah's and Lucien's identity. It was obvious that they looked more like the Agosti-Fabbri couple than the shameless couple they kicked out.

Salvatore shook his head and decided to see his older brother when he heard two whispers. "Decker, why don't we go get something to eat ?" one cute voice said but the voice was cut off "No. She is there. I want Uncle Luc. I don't want to see her." Salvatore immediately put the voices together. That was Clive's son Decker and Jax Rye's grandson Darryl. He had an idea as to what Decker was talking about and decided to help them. He walked to them to see two cute boys sitting next to the plants. He crouched in front of them which got their attention. They looked up and smiled warily. "Little piccolos, will you let me take you away and give food safely ?" he asked. The boys looked at him and had a silent conversation with their eyes which honestly made Salvatore feel that they were even more cute. They then nodded and stretched their arms out signalling to be carried. He chuckled and easily carried them out to one of his private lounges.

Meanwhile, in another room not far from where Salvatore and the boys were sitting was Gabriele with Elijah and Clive. Both were confused as to why Gabriele summoned them together. Clive was nervous which made his hand tremble making Elijah put his hand on his and gently rub Clive's knuckles as a means to soothe him. Clive relaxed slightly. Elijah turned to look at Gabriele. He sat across from them with a regal aura. He had fair skin, caramel coloured hair and deep blue eyes the colour of the ocean while Clive's was the colour of sapphires. "I admit that I am gorgeous looking but it is getting a little uncomfortable, CEO Fabbri." a melodious voice called out shaking Elijah out of his stupor.

He looked to see Gabriele smiling smugly while Clive snickered making him glare at both and blush until he was red in the face. This made both Gabriele and Clive look at each other and snicker more making Elijah wish that he could bury himself in a hole and hide. They both stopped laughing and Gabriele looked at them seriously. "The reason why I asked to meet you both separately is something I couldn't do out there." Both of them could hear the nervousness in his voice. They shared a look. Gabriele got up from where he was sitting and walked towards them. He stood in front them and knelt down suddenly startling both men. Elijah and Clive were about to make him get up when he spoke " I truly wish that both you remain aware of your surroundings and I know that both of you love each other but I would like for you to consider me as a potential lover as I....like....you both...romantically." he trailed off, blushing hard. Elijah was surprised as he was not aware of Gabriele's feelings but Clive was shocked at the fact that Elijah and Gabriele loved him.

He just divorced Delia and he was aware of Elijah's feelings were more than friendly but love.....he was not ready when all of a sudden Elijah turned to Clive and spoke "Clive, I know that you are not ready for love but will you think about our feelings ?" Elijah got on his knees in front of Clive. That threw both Gabriele and Clive for a loop. He continued "It is true that I love you but I am willing to give Gabriele a shot as I admit that I have a crush on him as well. Clive, I know that you are worried since Delia used your love but you don't have to worry with me and Gabriele as we have a motto in our lives." Elijah took a deep breath and spoke "We love only once in our life."

Gabriele and Clive were in shock. They couldn't believe that Elijah had made such a vow. They looked each other in thoughtful silence which made Elijah fidget in silence. He wondered if this was how Lucien felt when he admitted to him that while he gave up on Valentino, he had found another person to love - Alessandro Greco. He kept his head down because he was worried when he felt two fingers touch his chin and tipped his face up. He saw both Gabriele and Clive smiling at him. They bent forward and kissed his cheeks. He blushed. "We would be honoured to court you." They both announced at the same time. Elijah finally let out a beautiful smile that stunned them both. They hugged each other. They remained in that hug when all of a sudden the door opened in trooped Decker, Darryl and a man with caramel hair and green eyes. "Sorry for interrupting but someone missed their daddy and uncle." the man said.

Clive smiled and opened his arms to which Decker ran to them while Darryl squeezed himself into Elijah's arms which Elijah happily reciprocated. Decker was looking at the three men when he suddenly said "I am getting three dads by any chance ?" he asked making all three dads freeze. Clive looked at his son and nodded. Decker's eyes lit up in joy. "That's so cool. I have three dads. This is going to make everyone jealous." he cooed making everyone chuckle. The man chuckled and introduced himself as Salvatore, the youngest of the Grecos. Elijah was relieved that the young man was accepting of their relationship but he was worried about Lucien. They all made their way out to the ballroom.

Meanwhile while Gabriele's and Elijah's confession took place, something extraordinary was happening in Alessandro's lounge with Lucien and the man himself.
