Chapter One As the glowing sun began to set, a young man named Elijah stood nervously at the doorstep of his step brother’s luxurious apartment. Elijah was dressed in tattered clothes, his hair unkempt, and his eyes bloodshot from crying. In his hand was a crumpled piece of paper, the hospital bill that he had received earlier that day.Elijah’s mother had fallen ill, and the hospital had demanded immediate payment before they would provide any treatment or even give them a bed space in the clustered hospital ward. Elijah had already used up all his savings, and he had no one else to turn to but his younger step-brother, Henry.This is so embarrassing and humiliating, begging my younger step brother who treats me like trash for money is something really insulting but I have no choice , my mother is sick and I don’t have any money left to continue with her cancer treatment and chemotherapy “ Elijah whispered to himself.Elijah is the black sheep of the family even though he is the mo

Chapter Three “I can’t let my mother die of cancer, I have to do whatever it takes to save her ! I can’t allow my mother to die, she is the only one I have in this world” the young man called Elijah cried with tears and mucus running down his face as he ran towards his father’s office to beg for money so that he could take his mother to the hospital. Elijah always sits beside his mother and takes care of her since she feels sick. She has been painfully sick for the last 2 months but no one cared about her , Elijah was the only person doing a lot of hard labour and side jobs to get enough money to buy medications for his mother but he didn’t get enough money because taking care of his mother didn’t allow him to work longer hours and not a single soul helped him. Elijah even sold all his mother’s expensive jewellery, shoes and bags but the money wasn’t enough to treat her diabetes which results in cancer because of lack of proper care and professional treatment from the doctors.

Chapter Five Elijah stretched on the bed and yawned while trying to clean his eyes hoping that this was all a dream but a loud feminine voice confirmed that he wasn’t dreaming. “Arghhhhhhh! What are you pervert doing in the same bed with me naked !” The young lady on the bed shouted when she woke up from sleep. Elijah quickly lifted up the duvet and saw that his trousers were gone but his shirt was still intact. Elijah didn’t look at the girl's body out of respect but he still knew that she was naked under the bedsheets. Elijah’s head began to ache more because he was trying his best to remember how he got into the messed up situation but he couldn’t Rem her nothing and to make matters worse , the lady beside him on the bed was looking at him with a mean scowl. “What kind of question is that? I am not completely naked and I don’t know how I got myself in this situation so you should start explaining yourself!” Elijah shouted at the lady who looked clueless and helpless. “Is this

Chapter Seven“Whoa, this is some party” Elijah whispered when he saw the splendor of the party while walking towards Selena, his sudden bride that he doesn’t know anything about. The ballroom of the party shimmered with cascades of crystal chandeliers, casting a soft, ethereal glow upon the elite attendees. It was a grand affair, a party hosted by the renowned Grandfather Clinton in order to attract more people for his Presidential seat political campaign. The room buzzed with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses, yet amidst the vibrant crowd, one figure stood out despite his old and battered suit, the young man named Elijah has an alpha male and charismatic aura that makes people keep glancing at him besides he is not a popular person in the business society. Elijah navigated through the sea of elegantly attired guests with a sense of purpose. His eyes, as blue as the deep ocean, scanned the room until they came to rest on a breathtaking sight who kept moving around like a

Chapter Nine“Where did you get that ring from ?” Godfather Roberto asked with a thunderous voice while his bodyguards held Elijah’s arms in place and so tightly that he couldn’t fight or move anywhere. “What ring are you talking about ?” Elijah asked, looking confused for a brief second. "Young man," the elderly Godfather Roberto spoke with a gravelly voice, each word measured and deliberate. "That ring on your finger... it holds secrets. Secrets that no one knows about.."The young man swallowed hard, his mouth dry, and he met the older man's gaze, attempting to hide his fear. "I... I don't know what you're talking about," Elijah stammered, his voice barely a whisper.Godfather Roberto’s thin lips curled into a sly smile, his eyes narrowing. "You expect me to believe that, lad? I have eyes everywhere. That ring, it's no ordinary piece of jewelry. It belonged to a great family and it has been missing for years , where did you get it or who did you stole it from ?"Godfather Robert
