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
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 32 Hart Residence
Elijah got on his worn-out scooter, the engine cured as he turned the key. The sound was abrupt and familiar, just like the machine itself. He’d cursed at the scooter so many times in his life, frustrated with its frequent breakdowns and problems, but now, a fondness seeped into his chest. This scooter had been with him through everything. It was a reminder of the life he was leaving behind, the life he would bury when he returned from London.His fingers tightened on the handlebars. Three months. When he came back, there would be no more secrets, no more disguises. Everything about him would be out in the open. And yet, here he was, feeling sentimental over a rusty old scooter.The thought made him shake his head as he headed toward the florist.The scent of fresh flowers hit his nose as he stepped inside. He stepped towards the roses, picking up a bouquet of vibrant red flowers. Roses always reminded him of Esther. They were her favorite, even when they barely had enough money fo
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 33 Off To London
Today was the day Elijah would leave New York, the day he’d fly to London. His flight was set for 9 p.m., and Alfred was scheduled to pick him up shortly to take him to the airport. Elijah stood in the kitchen, leaning against the island for support. His suitcase was beside him, packed and ready to go. He looked up at the clock. 8:20 p.m. Alfred would be here soon. And yet, Eleanor wasn’t home, in fact, Eleanor was nowhere in sight. He had told her about his trip. He wasn’t even sure if she cared. Maybe she hadn’t believed him. Maybe she simply didn’t want to see him off. The thoughts were running in his mind in circles. His fingers tapped against the island top. But as the minutes passed by, an ache began to form in his chest. Was this how he would leave, without so much as a goodbye? His gaze fell to the blank piece of paper on the counter, and with a sigh, he picked up a pen. If she didn’t want to talk to him, he would leave his goodbye here, written in words she might neve
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 34 Empty Seat
Elijah’s private jet touched down in London around 9 AM. The flight was a long one, but it gave him the time he needed to sort through his thoughts and realign his priorities. The jet came to a stop, and the doors opened. Elijah took a deep breath before stepping outside. As his feet hit the ground, he was greeted by a line of black luxury cars pulling up in front of the jet. It was like out of a movie.From the cars descended guards all dressed professionally in black suits. Upon forming a straight line, the guards all bowed so low that you could place a plate on their back and it would stay.“Welcome, young master.” They all said, their voices overlapping. Elijah only nodded, though the scene in front of him was new and strange. And the first thing he said to himself was, ‘Geez, this is going to take some time to get used to.’ One of the men rose, stepping slightly forward, but he still kept his gaze down. “Mr. Windsor has instructed us to take you to your penthouse so you can res

Chapter 49 Jealousy
It was usual morning at the Kingsley mansion. Marylin sat comfortably in the living room, surrounded by her brothers, who were talking and laughing as usual.Theo sat cross-legged across from Marylin, his tongue sticking out slightly as he slowly applied nail polish to her nails, though it was obvious he was forced into it.“Hold still, Mary. You’re making this harder than it needs to me,” Theo murmured, his hand shaking as he tried to apply a neat coat of polish.“I can’t help it,” she said with a smirk. “You’re just so slow.”It was unusual to see Theo in such a position.Ever since the case with James was resolved, the family had been at peace. Life had finally begun to feel normal again, though there was one remaining matter, meeting the relative of Esther, the woman they had wronged.They had heard that Esther had one family member, a man who had been away for a some time. All they could do was wait for his return.In the meantime, it became a habit to visit Esther’s grave once a
Chapter 48 The Stranger I Never Knew
Eleanor shifted in her sleep, her body felt heavy thanks to the exhaustion. Slowly, her eyes opened slowly. And for a moment, she just stared at the ceiling.She had a throbbing headache, and it felt like her brain was about to burst out of her head. Probably because of all the crying from last night. When her surrounding registered around her, she sat up abruptly on the bed looking around. The sun had risen.Judging by the modern look, she was still here, in Elijah’s house, she thought this was all a nightmare. A terrible nightmare.How could she have fallen asleep here? She had no intention to even rest let alone sleep. Not in this awful place.Instantly, she stood up from the bed, throwing the covers off of her. Her palms turned into fists besides her. Most of the rage she felt last night had subsided, but there remained disbelief and a painful feeling of betrayal.Her eyes fell on the full length mirror, and she walked up to its her eyes were swollen, her hair looked like a birds
Chapter 47 Consume My Thoughts
The Stone family lounge was in absolute chaos, Mr Stone has been restlessly pacing up and down the lounge, whilst everyone else was in absolute silence. They all had what was going through their minds.Uncle Alec on the other hand was wiping his forehead with a handkerchief, occasionally holding his head as if physically trying to hold himself together.Marcus Jr, who had passed out for quite a while was only now regaining his consciousness on the glow, groaning as he moved.“This is impossible,” Uncle Alec muttered mostly to himself, his voice shaky. “How is this even possible?”Candice, who seemed to be the most troubled, turned around to face Mr Stone. “Father, there has to be something we can do before then!” She said, looking desperately at her father. Over her dead body would she let Elijah, one who she had stepped over all her life, suddenly have her in his hands.Mr Stone finally stopped pacing around, his face of resignation as he shook his head, sitting down on his armchair.
Chapter 46 Kidnapped
The car ride was pin drop silent. The whole time, Eleanor sat in the car like a body without a soul, it was as if she was in some other dimension. She was sucked into another world of thoughts and consideration.Now, she stood in front of a mansion, it wasn’t too big, nor too small, the building was modern, a stark difference to the extravagant old money style of the Stone mansion.The car that was railing behind them also came to a stop, and the guards emerged, taking their positions in the spacious compound. Eleanor blinked, as if slowly stepping out of her trance.As Elijah gently reached for her hand, the trance she had been in snapped. Reality hit her like a slap to the face. Just what in the world was happening right now?Eleanor snatched her hand out of Elijah’s grip as she took a step back, her brows furrowed and her eyes showed utter confusion. “Don’t touch me,” she said, her voice sharp and shaky.Eleanor’s eyes moved away from Elijah, and up at the building which stood in f
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
