Those words were like a knife stabbing Elijah in the chest and he couldn't breathe. Arianna was his dream - one that was slowly fleeting away. No, he can't give up on her. If she could fall for Marcel, perhaps, he could make her love him again.
He grabbed her arm, "You don't know what you're talking about, Arianna! You have clearly been bewitched by Marcel!"
"Don't treat me like a child, Elijah! I'm an adult and I know feelings!" She scolded him, trying to pull her arm free all to no avail.
"You can't be with Marcel," He commanded her
"Yeah, why not?" Arianna scoffed at the authority in his tone. She was not his sister or girlfriend - not anymore.
"Absolutely not, Marcel!" He refused to let the both be together. Marcel was not worthy of Arianna. He would only make Arianna miserable just the same way his father Daniel ruined his Aunt Natalie's life.
