“What do you know about him, Tiana?” Alice asked, interested in what she had to say.Maybe it would help her understand why the man always looked at her as if he knew her. Or why he was always so brusque and harsh in his approach towards her.She didn't care very much but was always amused by the reasons people came up with concerning her.“How curious are you? Would you pay top dollars to get an answer?”She hissed. “Why would I pay to get information about a nobody? I'd pass please.”Tiana laughed. “Oh, I don't think he's a nobody. Anyway, my role is to watch how things evolve henceforth.” She sipped from the wine she had mixed with a little vodka, planning to be intoxicated enough to drown this strange empathetic feeling that had erupted in her.“Elijah Crawford,” she whispered in her mind, but chuckled out loud. It was still hard to believe.Alice, realizing Tiana was acting like a crazy person, moved away from her.At the same time, Winnie moved in her way. They almost crashed bu

“Whoa!”“Fuck!”“How—?!”“Oh my God!”The reactions varied as everyone saw what had just happened.“You bastard!” Dr Hill, feeling highly embarrassed, swung.Elijah easily sidestepped him, and grabbed his hand, locking it behind him. He turned him around, so he was facing everyone while writhing in pain.“What do you think you're doing, Elijah!” Laura Anderson screamed out.He couldn't answer. His ring was in control now and he was totally under its mercy. “Let him go, Elijah!” Nathan Luxe demanded.“Or?” He raised a brow.Winnie couldn't believe her ears. Elijah would never step out of character like this.“What the fuck is happening?” She asked Lexington.She was swearing again, but that wasn't his focus right now. He could see what was happening. A trip to Asher made him confident in his thoughts. “He's about to spiral. He'll unravel if we don't stop him,” he communicated with him.“What do I care about? He can expose himself if he wants to!” “Asher! Stop being petty and short

Elijah spent the entire night burying the events of the day and trying to forget the strange calm he had received.Gone were the days when things like that made him panic. If they were really about that life they would show their faces, and stop hiding under enigmas.When he woke up, the first thing he did was to pull out a personal journal.So far, he had successfully recovered herbs from his house, the Carters, the Andersons, and the Luxes. Dr Hill had also given him his own. In total, that was five herbs. The outstanding house was the Trusts. It would prove to be the most difficult of any other house.He knew that, and that was what spurred his daily plans. Every day, he made plans to infiltrate that house and get those herbs.This morning was no exception.He pulled out his notepad and began to plot. Avery Trust was his best bet. She could swoop in, and swoop out with the herb. No one would notice, everything would be fine.He put her name down.But if he went with her, he riske

The thought of the strange nurse who appeared at odd places kept Elijah alert, as he drove into the street where the Carter mansion was located.But just as before he arrived at the gate, he saw a car that looked familiar.He put a stop to his car, and quickly hopped out of it.Storming forward, he stopped by the familiar car and knocked on its windows.Winnie Carter who was bidding her time, wined down her window to find Elijah staring at her.“Elijah?” She frowned.“Open the door,” he said, nudging his head to the side. Reluctantly, she did. He went round the car and slid into the passenger seat.“Why are you here alone?” He asked when he was comfortably seated.“Why does that matter?”“If you want to go in, you should go in. What's stopping you?”“Who said I want to go in?”He paused, realizing the questioning sequence had gone on for way too long.“Winnie, the fact that you're packed in front of the mansion tells me that you do want to go in. You can't let your fears stop you,”

He gently stepped away from Winnie and pulled his phone out of his pocket.It was a simple text from Cleo.“I think I found him.”His eyes bulged as he began to retreat.“Where do you think you're headed?” Winnie turned, staring at him with a confused expression in her eyes.“Uhmm, Winnie, this is urgent. I need to leave. I'll text you the address of that doctor. If there's any update on your grandfather, please call me Immediately.”Before she could respond, he turned around and fled out of the room.He ran straight past John who was coming up the stairs.“Eli–” the driver shrugged and gave up on completing his name. He dashed into his car and drove out of the compound. The home was calling. It was the only place safe enough to call Cleo. Without risking the walls of the world, of course.The highway was looking a little jam-packed when he drove towards it. Checking his time, he realized he wouldn't be getting home even in the next two hours.He diverted and decided to follow the al
