Elijah looked at the fragile Madison in his arms, her blood slowly staining his clothes though he didn't seem to care one bit as he cleaned the blood from her face.Then, he looked at her abdomen to find that there was a bullet hole in it.As it was, she was seconds away from dying due to blood loss.“Thomas,” Elijah muttered as he used his spiritual energy to cauterize the wound, saving her from instant death.“Yes, captain.”“Keep her safe.” Elijah intoned as he handed an unconscious Madison over to Thomas who quickly took her in his arms.Meanwhile, in the penthouse above, Aiden was licking his lips in annoyance.He'd hoped to misbehave with Madison before her death, but it seemed that plan would have to be shelved, considering she had no way of surviving a fall from the tenth floor.He didn't even care that she was dead because it meant nothing to him.Even if everyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him because he was a part of the Leroy family, leaving him untou

Charles had experienced a lot in his years, working as a don in the Mafia world of Crystal Falls. So, even as Elijah was so bold, that didn't mean it was the first time he'd seen such but unequivocally, all those that had been so audacious had met the same fate. Either they'd ended up bowing to him or they were six feet under. Hence, the reason why he wasn't worried about Elijah and remarked. “Good, very good. Since you have decided to make your bed, you shall lie on it. Men!” “Yes, boss!” “Teach this fool some manners.” Immediately, a hundred men surrounded Elijah, leaving him no room to escape. However, Elijah stood in place, not bothering to move an inch as he waited for the unlucky fool that would attack him first. There was not even a hint of worry on his face, same with Thomas who stood a distance away, watching the proceedings. Suddenly, Elijah's aura surged, turning into an unstoppable force that surged through the sky. Despite this, Charles didn't think

Alice emerged from the shower after a while wearing a white slip dress which showed off her smooth neck and arms.In the past, she would have never dared to wear such a thing but now, she was in a good mood, enjoying her perfect new skin.Just then, she saw Elijah seated on the couch, smoking while staring at nothing in particular causing her to pause.Taking a deep breath, she walked over and sat down next to him.Silence followed for a few seconds before she finally spoke up. “She's your daughter.”Elijah paused his smoking, his eyes flickering with emotions before he asked. “When did it happen?”“Before the fire incident. You remember that night well, don't you?”Elijah gave no response but he remembered almost like it was yesterday.Alice had just closed a major deal that would bring in several million for Wesen Corporation, and so she threw a party to celebrate.Surprisingly, she had invited Elijah along with her other friends.They'd gotten drunk and everyone was out of it.Elij

“A chance?” George sneered. “Elijah Silva, according to our information, you are an orphan with nothing to your name. Just because you spent some time in the military, you think you are worthy of Alice?... Well, reality check, Alice is way out of your league!” George disliked Elijah from the start. He was a mere retired soldier in any case with no power of money to his name, what was he so arrogant for? “That's enough, George.” Mr. Wesen intoned. “You want me to give you a chance?” “Yes.” Elijah nodded. “Fine then, have you heard of Gold Lake Group?... We have always wanted to work with them, but we've never managed it, and a relationship with them is one of the reasons we wanted Alice to marry Aiden. If you could make it work, then I'd be more than happy to acknowledge you as a part of the family.” As it was, Mr. Wesen didn't think Elijah would be able to close such a deal and only made up this challenge to make things difficult for him, hopeful that he would give up. He

“This is a bottle of Kobo wine worth a million dollars and it's from the Lincolns. They are wishing Mr. Roland a happy birthday and many happy returns.”“The Sloans present a painting, the Monarch of Nightfall by Alexander Regulus, worth ten million and they wish the entire family even more wealth.”“The Khans have gifted Mr. Roland a limited edition watch from Rolex worth five million dollars.”At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand, enthusiastically announcing the gifts that the guests had brought for everyone in attendance to hear.In the foyer, Mr. Roland, old as he was, was dressed in a blue suit causing him to look fit and alert.He had a big smile on his face as he heard the value of the gifts he was getting.It went to show that those in attendance were not minor characters at all.Surprisingly, even the Wesen family had been invited with the family head, Mr. Wesen pulling out all the stops and spending a small fortune to get a gift for Mr. Roland just to g
