From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 24 Family Game Night
Marylin was sitting on her bed, fiddling with the pen in her hands, deep in thought. The idea of confronting her grandfather, Matthew Kingsley, was dreadful. It felt impossible.She loved him, just as much as he loved her. The actions she suspects of him simply seem highly unlikely for the type of man her grandfather is… and yet, all evidence agrees to the crime.Could the man who always pulled her close for a hug and reserved the best seat at the table for her really have taken someone’s life?The sound of her door opening snapped her out of her thoughts, before she could even respond, Zayden, one of her six brothers, walked in, with his usual grin on his face.“Hey, honey,” Zayden said in an exaggerated, high-pitched voice, mimicking their mother whenever she talked to Marylin.Marylin groaned in annoyance, rolling her eyes. “What do you want?” She asked, unamused.Zayden shrugged, scanning her room as if he owned the place. “Grandpa’s requesting a family game night,” he said, smirk
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 25 Affair
Sunlight streamed through the extravagant curtains in Candice’s room, lighting up the room.Eleanor was seated on the couch near the windows, her fingers restlessly tapping against her arm. It’s been more than 30 minutes since her mother, Candice, had called her in for help with something.Yet, for the past 30 minutes, she’s been doing nothing but happily gossiping with her best friend over the phone as she rummages through her drawers.Candice’s phone was on her vanity, on speaker, allowing every bit of gossip to be heard. Candice laughed at something her friend said, not that Eleanor was paying attention, her attention was on the clock, looking at how much time had passed.“Tell me about it. I was shocked to the core when I found out Ciera’s husband was cheating. Can you imagine?” Candice said.Eleanor sighed lightly, adjusting her position on the couch, it didn’t seem like her mother would be done with her phone call anytime soon.Candice’s friend replied with a scoff, her tone ju
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 26 Answer The Call
Marylin was standing in front of the wooden door that led into her grandfather’s study.Her heart was beating so quick and her mind was filled with different emotions, each one more confusing than the last.She took a breath before calmly knocking on the door. Today is the day. It’s the day where she’ll finally ask her grandfather.“Come in.” Matthew Kingsleys voice called out from his study, as usual, his voice soft and calming. A contrast to the knots that formed in Marylin’s stomach.Her hands were trembling as she turned the doorknob.The study was full of mahogany bookshelves, and a desk in the center, with two chairs facing it.Matthew, who was sitting behind his desk, looked up at her. His expression softened. And his face formed into the smile that always calmed down Marylin.“Mary. ”Her grandfather said, gesturing for her to come closer. “What brings you here, sweetheart?”Marylin’s smiled as she walked towards his desk. She took a seat on the chair that faced his.Matthew’s
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 27 Tears That Burn
“An affair?” Elijah’s voice was low, close to a whisper, the disbelief he felt was evident on his face, and his heart dropped, so low it felt like it would fall out. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Eleanor’s tears began to fall, and her tone got louder with every word. “Yes, an affair! Tell me, Elijah, why?! Why have you been taking your calls in another room? Why do you hide your messages when I’m nearby? And every time, every single time, it’s a work call! Do you think I’m stupid?” Elijah was stuck in his place, her words heavy in his ears. He had only seen tears in the eyes of Eleanor once before. At grandmother Henrietta’s funeral, when they both stood in silence, in mourning. But today, her tears were because of him, and the realization made his heart ache. “El,” he said softly, taking a step closer to her. His tone was urgent, almost pleading. “No, Eleanor, I promise you, I would never. I would never do something like that.” He thought of the promise he had made t
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 28 Real Killers
The morning sun rays spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Windsor New York branch. Elijah was seated at his desk, with his head tilted back against his leather chair. Staring straight at the ceiling.His mind was running through different types of thoughts, mostly about last night. Eleanor’s teary face was etched into his mind, and it killed him.He let out a sigh, his hands rubbing over his tired face.The sound of the door to his office opening pulled him out of his thoughts, Alfred entered, balancing a stack of papers in one hand and a steaming coffee cup in the other. His eyes were focused on the documents as he walked towards Elijah’s desk.“Good mornin’—” Alfred stopped mid-sentence as his eyes fell on Elijah’s face.“Geez, you look like you fought a zombie last night,” Alfred murmured, raising an eyebrow as he set down the papers.Elijah blinked, snapping out of his thoughts upon hearing Alfred’s voice. “Do I? That’s a shocker,” he said dryly, leaning forward in
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 29 What Was He Thinking?
Eleanor sat alone in her room. She had just gotten out of the shower, and she was currently sitting at the vanity, brushing through her damp hair. Her gaze was on the mirror, looking at her reflection, which stared back at her. She was zoned out, and her movements were almost robotic. Carlos’s words from earlier were replaying in her mind like a tape on repeat. She had told him all about the fight last night and her reasons for such suspicions. And Carlos’s response was, ‘“I understand, Ellie. But I don’t think I agree with you. You know Elijah more than I do, but come on, this is Elijah we’re talking about, the man who refused to divorce you, withstanding three years of torment from our family. The man who was offered money to save his mom in exchange for a divorce but still refused, the man who was buried in poverty, offered millions, but yet still refused. A man who stayed loyal to grandmother’s will… I refuse to believe he would ever have an affair.”’ Eleanor let out a sig
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 30 Silent Treatment
Elijah was seated in the garden outside the Stone estate. His gaze was centered on the small man-made pond in front of him. It was quiet, except for the sounds of the chirping birds and the rustling of the leaves in the wind. And yet his thoughts still failed to calm down. It had been three days since his argument with Eleanor, three days of her refusing to talk to him, look at him, or even acknowledge his existence. She had spent most of her time at the main mansion, avoiding the guesthouse entirely. He had tried everything. Leaving notes, cooking breakfast, even waiting outside her room to apologize. Nothing worked. The silence between them had grown larger, and it ate at him more than he cared to admit. The sound of footsteps pulled Elijah out of his thoughts, and his eyes looked up. It was Carlos, walking towards him with hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket. He and Carlos had become closer the past few days, Carlos was always at the guesthouse these days, eve
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 31 A Growing Brotherhood
Marylin stood in her closet, searching through her clothes for a pair of pajamas. Her mind felt clearer now. Ever since she got her questions off her chest, everything seemed lighter. Her brothers were now working day and night to find the family their mistakes affected. And God, knowing her family was trying to make things right, brought her relief. At least now, she could breathe easier, knowing her family didn’t intentionally cause harm for selfish reasons.But now, she had new questions haunting her mind. Questions about Liam. Why did he tell her about the heart? Did he really mean for her to find out? And why would he?She couldn’t sleep last night, turning and rolling around in her bed as she thought of all the possibilities why Liam would expose his own family.She couldn’t make sense of it. She had to find a way to meet him, or at least speak to him. But it would have to be without her family finding out. They were furious with the Harts, and if they caught her reaching out

Chapter 45 One Month
Elijah stepped off of the jet, both his hands buried in his pockets. The night air was cold, and the breeze played around with his black hair. Everything about him was indeed different, even the look in his eyes had gotten sharper. Alfred was standing a distance away, leaning against a car, his gaze was full of pride as he gazed down at the new Elijah. Elijah’s eyes fell on Alfred, and he couldn’t hide the smile that tugged at the corner of his lips. His gaze softened as he began to walk towards Alfred, with the guards trailing behind him. “Welcome back, kid,” Alfred said, a slight chuckle in his voice as Elijah approached him. A small smirk appeared on Elijah’s face. “It’s good to be back.” “I almost didn’t recognize you. Look at you now, walking off like you own the world.” Alfred said as he pulled Elijah into a bro hug, tapping his back before pulling away. Elijah chuckled. “I don’t own the world,” he replied smoothly. “Not yet, at least.” Alfred burst into laughter, d
Chapter 44 The Windsor Heir
It was the next day, and the sun was already setting outside. The Stone mansion was unusually lively, which was rare, Eleanor couldn’t remember the last time the Stone mansion was this lively and… lighthearted.Eleanor was standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter as she mixed the two cups of tea she had just made with a teaspoon. She could hear light chatter and occasional laughter from the lounge, it sounded so foreign to her ears.Sarah was waiting for her, but Eleanor was dreading going out there. Not that it would matter, she was practically invisible to the family these days, even the dust on the chandelier was more noticeable than she was.She looked down at the two cups of tea, and before she could even pick them up, Sarah burst into the kitchen, practically shaking from excitement.“Ellie! What’s taking so long?!” Sarah practically shouted, her face glowing with excitement. She was smiling so widely her lips almost reached her ears.Eleanor blinked, turning to look
Chapter 43 New York Is Waiting
Eleanor sat alone at the Stone mansion’s lounge, it was quiet. A bit too quiet. Her fingers were idly playing with the fabric of the couch she was on, and her mind was elsewhere, thinking, as she always found herself doing these past few days.It’s been three months since Elijah left New York, but it felt more like it’s been a year. At first, she tried to delude herself, telling herself that she didn’t care about this absence. But his thoughts always came to haunt her at night, and she gave up arguing with her heart.Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, and any hope she had left of Elijah’s return was now slipping away. It’s been three months already, why hold on to false hope?It’s been case after case in the family. They all turned their backs against her due to her constant refusal to sign the divorce papers. Well, Sarah is an exception. At first, they used Elijah’s absence as an opportunity, in her mother’s words, ‘He’s left you already. Don’t you feel embarrassed? Just h
Chapter 42 Three Months Later
3 MONTHS LATERIt’s been three months—three full months have passed since Elijah’s descent in London, three full months since he met his grandfather, and three full months since he fully understood his identity.He now stood in front of the full-length mirror in his penthouse, staring at the man standing in the reflection. This wasn’t the same Elijah who had stepped off the plane months ago. This man was different. This was the grandson of Alexander Windsor, the heir to one of the most powerful conglomerates in the world. He now held 50% of the Windsor conglomerate’s shares in his name. His grandfather had taught him everything, the kind of training that couldn’t be bought or learnt from books.Elijah remembered the exact moment his grandfather handed over those shares. “When I leave this world, these will be yours completely,” Alexander had said with pride in his eyes. “By then, I hope I’ll have a great-grandchild to carry the legacy forward.”Elijah was too surprised at the time, h
Chapter 41 Change
Days turned into weeks, and it’s already been a bit more than two weeks since Elijah’s arrival in London. His days passed positively, only gaining more knowledge about who he truly was and who his parents were.He kept in contact with Alfred, who was running the New York branch in the meantime.Aunt Heather and Alexander made sure they cracked their memories in order to remember everything. And vice versa, Elijah also told them about his life back in New York, up to the point when he got married to Eleanor, then up to now. And it seemed Alexander was incredibly fond of his granddaughter-in-law, who he’s never even met.He had gotten even closer than he already was to his grandfather, and he had formed a bond with Aunt Heather.For some reason, Aunt Heather reminds him of Esther, maybe it was her comforting presence, or her warm smile, or how her eyes glistened when she laughed, or maybe it was how animated she was.Alexander had Elijah following him into work every single day in the n
Chapter 40 Answers
It had been three hours since Elijah met his grandfather, Alexander, yet it felt like only minutes had passed. There was no tension, no awkward silences. Just stories and laughter.Both men now sat in the cosy sitting area of Alexander’s room, sipping whisky as their conversations flowed. Silence settled for a while before Alexander broke the silence with a clearing of his throat. “Your parents,” Alexander began, his voice soft as he put down his glass of whisky, “were the most beautiful couple. Loving, kind, and incredibly understanding of one another.”Elijah’s heart tightened at the words. His parents. His biological parents. For some reason, the mention of them made different emotions rise. Alexander leaned forward and opened a drawer of the coffee table, he pulled out a photo album, handing it over to Elijah. “Here.”Elijah accepted the album, his hands steady, a contrast to the tumble in his heart. When he opened the first page, he froze. There, staring back at him, a photogr
Chapter 39 Reunion
“Revenge?” Marylin asked, her voice low as she looked at both Ried and Zayden in utter confusion. She was confused, revenge… Why would Liam seek revenge against his own father?Ried nodded with a sigh as he crossed his arms against his chest. “Yes. Revenge, for his mother.”Tired words made Marylin’s brows furrow, his statement threw her off, and she turned her questioning gaze towards Zayden. Liam’s mother died when he was thirteen… What revenge could he possibly be seeking after fifteen long years?Zayden took a seat on the grey armchair. “Liam’s mother, Rosaline. She’s never had it easy in life, especially her time with James… Every day was a new kind of torture and torment, she went through both emotional and physical abuse at the hands of James.” Zayden said, his tone a bit lower as if talking about it felt heavy to him.Marylin’s heart dropped a beat, and her eyes widened. “What? Are you serious?” She whispered in disbelief. Why hasn’t she ever heard of this before… Liam has nev
Chapter 38 Turn Over A New Leaf
“Liam?” Eleanor said, her tone surprised and her eyes slightly widened. No wonder the car looked awfully familiar, she had seen it countless times at the Stone mansion.Liam’s signature smile was in place as he nodded, “Need a ride?” he asked casually, though there was a bit of amusement in his tone. When Carlos had told him that Eleanor’s cards were cut off and her car was taken, he didn’t think it would last.Yet, here she was, walking.Eleanor hesitated for a second. She's never really been close to Liam, though Liam had a strong relationship with all of the Stone family members, she and him had never really talked much.Liam noticed Eleanor’s hesitation and chuckled lightly, shaking his head. His earlier sour mood now evaporating. “It’s really no trouble. I was on my way to the Stone mansion to see Carlos.” He reassured.Eleanor nodded, in all honesty, it was better than standing under the bus stop in the cold and waiting for the rain to eventually die down.“Alright, thank you.”
Chapter 37 Closing A Chapter
The next day arrived too quickly for Eleanor. She was currently in her room in the guesthouse, staring at her packed bag, which held her essentials. Her grandfather had told her yesterday to move back into the main mansion. It wasn’t a suggestion, it was an order.Eleanor zipped up the medium-sized bag. Most of her clothes were already in the main mansion, so it was unnecessary for her to pack up the ones in the guesthouse.She hung her bag on her shoulder and looked at her room one last time before turning off the light. It was weird why it felt like she was closing a chapter as she turned off the lights.She walked into the kitchen, ensuring to turn off every appliance before also turning off the light and heading into the living room.For some reason, the living room felt hard to leave. “I’m going to miss the peace of this place.” She muttered to herself, knowing she was about to return to the chaos of the main mansion.She was going to miss the guesthouse, but was it really the g
