3 MONTHS LATER

It’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

    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!

    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

    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.

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.

    Today marked the 80th birthday of the Stone family patriarch. The hall dripped with wealth—chandeliers that sparkled like diamonds, marble floors polished to a mirror shine, and the finest champagne flowing freely. Only the elite and closest members of the Stone family were allowed into this exclusive, grand hall, each one of them wearing their status as a shield. You could practically smell the clashes of power in the air. The Stones were one of the wealthiest families in New York, their influence stretching across borders and industries. Every major player in the business world wanted a connection to them, an alliance, and even today, they had come bearing gifts fit for kings. It was a competition—who could show the most power, the most influence, the most wealth?
