maybe he has little room for anger , though it that hadn’t meant he wouldn’t feel it. nathan had been correct : the scene that unfolded at the hotel had been enough proof of that. but it wasn’t entirely true. no , samuel had lied. but he wasn’t holding a gun to his brothers’ head to make him lie to his wife ━━━━━━ that was all on him. all his idea ... the elder drake even going as far as offering to go on his own back after the heist of the rossi estate.
his anger isn’t misplaced. not by a long shot. with creased brows and eyes that held nothing but ( disappointment ? maybe. ) annoyance. as if samuel hadn’t done the same on numerous occasions ; growing up as an older brother but also the role as a father ... determined to be what nathan never had. determined to make sure he had a decent life growing up.
they both made sacrifices. he understood that. nathan had a right to be angry , there was no denying that. ❝ are you kidding me ? ❞ he takes a step forward , finger pointed to his own chest , further emphasizing his words. ❝ do you understand everything i gave up for you ? ❞ he knew the argument that would unfold : that he didn’t have to do what he did , that he could have just left him at the orphanage despite everything. he couldn’t bring himself to do that.
❝ ━━━━━━ my whole life was yours , nathan. i did everything i could for you. ❞
