31. Alex (II)

RHIAN'S POV

"Excuse me, I'll be right back". I said to my business partners and clients.

They nodded and they continued discussing.

I bent down to listen to Eli because he's been tapping me ever since.

"What is it Eli? Do you need anything dear?". I said to him and I rubbed his hair.

"I'm fine aunt Rhian...it's nothing". Eli replied and he seemed scared about something.

I looked at the direction he gazed at and I saw that he was looking at Alex with fear.

Is Alex threatening him about something, I thought.

I took Eli towards my car. I opened it and we both sat inside.

"Eli...please tell me the truth dear, don't be scared. I know that something is scaring you and I want you to tell me". I said and I smiled

"I don't want anyone to get hurt...she said if I tell anyone, she would kill me and my grandma". Eli said and he started crying.

I wiped his tears and I hugged him tightly.
