Haylee’s head ached like a heavy rod had been smashed on her head a million times over as she opened her eyes. She looked to her side but could not find Elijah, but heard noisy yells from downstairs in the living room. Her mother’s voice was the predominant voice she could picture in her head, and at that moment she realized where Elijah could be. Her mother only had one person to yell at in the Greene mansion – Elijah the fool. She sprung up from her bed, still in her meeting dress, zoomed downstairs to know what is happening with Elijah again. Every eye glued on her when she reached the living room, she could not imagine what made them stare at her, but she could see Elijah standing alone while her mother picked on him in the presence of everybody seated, including Phil, Haylee’s third cousin who was not actively involved in the family’s business. She saw Daniel’s face blazing with fury, as he hung up a phone call. “I knew you have always been a mistake,” Dorothy yelled at Elijah,

Haylee stared at her husband, unsure of what to say or do. She rubbed her palms together and sighed. “I-I didn’t mean to do it, I did not mean to hit him that hard,” Elijah said, breaking the silence. “Enough, Elijah. Enough.” Haylee silenced him her face bore an expression that made Elijah uncomfortable. “Tell me, why? Why did you do such a thing? Why would you want to ruin everything for me and my family? Why do you always make everything difficult for me?”Elijah raised a brow, unexpecting what words Haylee spewed. He was unsure of what to say, remaining mute. “Say something!” Haylee yelled at him, with her voice starting to break where she sat. “Grandfather made a deep mistake bringing you into our home, but he made an even worse mistake getting you married to me. I have never had a single day of peace for the past three years since I got married to you, my family turned on me. I lost my position in my grandfather’s inheritance and I am on the verge of losing everything complete

Mr. John crossed his legs on Mrs. Greene’s office couch, with a bandage wound around his face. A momentary silence enveloped the room, with Daniel standing behind Mrs. Greene like his bodyguard. “I am sorry for this,” Daniel said, trying to look away from Mr. John’s devastating face, but sheer curiosity would not allow him to. “That fool will pay, I promise you. But can you please drop the charges against him?”Daniel could not believe those words could proceed from his mouth, as he forced them out. His gut turned inside out. “And why should I?” Mr. John asked with an elfish grin. His smile stretched from one side of his face to the other and then relegated to a cold, harsh expression. “Look at me!” he yelled, pointing to the bandage around his head. He clenched his teeth like a shark holding a firm grip on its food. “Just look at me. Why should I let him go?” Daniel swallowed his breath, taking a glance at Old Mrs. Greene who stared into bare space. Her calmness made

“Hey, you can leave now.”The voice of the police officer echoed in Elijah’s head. “Free? How can I be free?” He thought to himself. At first, he thought Bishop Leo had gone against his order and pulled strings for him amid the higher-ups, given his family’s influence. But he canceled the thought, realizing that such a thing would be impossible without Bishop Leo having to reveal his identity. Judging from the police officer’s harsh treatment, his secret was still safe, because no one heard the West’s name and did not tremble. However, it still disturbed him that he was free. Could the Greene family have cared about him that much? As he got out of the station, he squinted his eyes at the headlight that nearly blinded his eyes, at the opposite end of the he identified Bishop Leo’s Mustang. “Congratulations, young master,” Bishop Leo said, as Elijah settled into the car. Elijah groaned, holding his head. “How did you know I have been released?” he asked with a grunt lacin

She had sex with him? for what reason? Elijah reasoned within himself. Although his marriage to Haylee was merely an act of charity and compassion by Haylee’s grandfather who bought him into the Greene mansion, Elijah still felt jealousy overwhelming him. it was not as if he’d had anything to do with Haylee since they married, but Elijah wanted to still be regarded as her husband. It would not have mattered much to him if he was still the foolish Elijah they thought he was, regaining his memory made it worse and more painful. With the cocky smirk that glued to Tory’s face, it was obvious to Haylee that she intentionally said such a thing in Elijah’s presence. But Elijah’s presence did not freak Haylee. “It does not matter whether he was aware of my marriage status, dear cousin,” Haylee said, “the only thing that matters is that he will never enjoy what he enjoyed with me if it happens to be you.”Tory’s smile morphed into a frown, that gave Haylee unending pleasure. Tory’s
