From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 8 Taking The First Steps
Morning came slower than usual, the soft light of the sun poured through the small cracks of the curtains. The morning was quiet, but to Elijah, it was anything but peaceful. He was sitting at the edge of his bed, his hand fastening the buttons on his shirt. He couldn’t sleep last night, the thoughts that clouded his mind made it almost impossible. The conversation he had with Alfred last night over the phone was still present in his mind. Marylin Kingsley. The only female grandchild to Matthew Kingsley, the head of Kingsley Enterprises. She was the recipient of the heart that was supposed to be Esther’s, according to Alfred, she had no apparent involvement in the exchange. Of course she didn’t, she was too sick to think. Vengeance was on his mind, but it was the last on his list. Success was first. His reflection in the mirror stared back, stray locks of his black hair fell over his face. Esther’s voice occasionally rang in his mind, her exact words to him. ‘“You can’
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 9 Alexander Windsor
Morning settled, breaking through the night. A night which ended up sleepless for Elijah. He sat at the edge of his bed, staring at an old worn photograph of him and Esther. Her kind smile was stuck in time, even a photograph showed the warmth she always carried in her eyes. Elijah’s eyes were just staring at the photo, as if memories were flashing through them. “You wouldn’t believe this, Ma.” Elijah began. Speaking as if Esther could still hear his words. “Me, a Windsor? It still sounds ridiculous even now.” He said, a ghost of a smile on his lips. The thought of the upcoming video call that he was supposed to have today with Alexander Windsor was enough to snap him back to reality. He sighed, putting the photograph back in his wallet. He finished getting ready for the day before walking out of his room. It was still quite early, due to the fact he didn’t really get any sleep, he got ready earlier than usual. He stepped into the kitchen to whip himself a quick breakfast. Th
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 10 The Rain Isn’t So Bad After All
Elijah sat at his desk, examining some reports placed on his table by Alfred. The morning sunlight that bled through the window cast a soft glow on his desk. It has been a week since what happened in the Stone mansion that night, maybe that was part of the reason as to why he began to exhaust himself in work. He was quickly starting to adjust into his role, and everything seemed to come naturally. The New York Windsor branch reflected positively over the week, Profits were higher, the promotional aspect was going amazing, and the company operations were running smoothly. But it seemed like all these sudden changes were beginning to sprout rumors. Local New York magazines began to speculate, asking questions no one knew the answer to. Headlines such as “Rumor In Town: Does the Windsor family have an heir?” and “Latest Gossip: Some whispers have revealed the possibility of a secret heir to the Windsor bloodline.” were circulating through town. It was kind of suspicious that the
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 11 Green Eyes
The days were beginning to pass by easier, and everything had fallen into a routine for Elijah.The kitchen was quiet, sunlight poured in through the window, lighting up the space. The sounds of birds could be heard from outside, making the atmosphere peaceful.Elijah was sitting at the kitchen island, his hand around a cup of coffee which he occasionally sipped. A plate of toast and eggs sat in front of him, half eaten.His attention was on his phone, his eyes scanning through some pdf’s which contained the changes in the finances of Windsor New York branch.With the amount of times he drinks coffee these days, it’s as though Alfred was rubbing off his influence on him. The soft sounds of footsteps broke the attention he had on his phone, Eleanor walked into the kitchen in a casual sweater and leggings, her hair up in a messy bun.“Morning.” She called out, heading towards the cupboards, pulling out a few ingredients.Elijah didn’t look up from his phone but answered her with a quie

The next morning, Elijah woke up at his usual time, early. It was a Saturday, and he could’ve used this opportunity to sleep in, but old habits die hard. The house was quiet, and it seemed Eleanor was still asleep. Elijah put on his shoes and jacket, sliding his phone into his pocket. He stepped out of the house, approaching his scooter. He got his scooter fixed a day after the storm. It wasn’t as good as new, but it worked. He was going to the cemetery. It was quite a distance away from the Stone mansion, a quiet cemetery, away from the busy city, nestled between a grove of trees. The atmosphere of the cemetery was always different, gloomy, but peaceful nonetheless. He walked into the cemetery, the dried leaves beneath his shoes crunching with each step. His hand tightened around the pieces of roses in his hands as he stopped in front of Esther’s grave. The name on the headstone a reminder of who laid in the grave. Placing the roses gently on the ground, he stood in silence
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 13 Waiting Game
It was Sunday night, the day seemed to pass by even quicker, probably because Elijah spent the whole day cooped up in his room. Elijah nonetheless still found himself semi working on his phone. It was kind of scary how he always had work on his mind these days.Though it probably would’ve been more convenient on a laptop. He could’ve gotten a laptop if he pleased, with the fact that he had a diamond card in his possession, he could get anything he wanted.But of course, it would be suspicious if he suddenly got rich enough to buy a new gadget in just three and a half weeks of ‘getting a new job.’Eleanor also spent most of the day in her room, occasionally coming out to grab something, so their interactions were brief. It was completely dark outside, Elijah stepped out of his room to get some water, but just as he closed the door behind him. The lights to the house completely shut off.Elijah stood still, confused. The electricity is out, How is that even possible? The sounds of caut
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 14 The Deception Of The Rich
It has been several days since Candice’s show at the guest house. The Stones were working themselves day and night, especially Marcus and Carlos.Failure to secure the contract with the Windsors wasn’t an option, and their hard work seemed to be paying off, they were sure the contract was in the palm of their hands, the Windsor executives were reacting positively, and they had already began to brag to Mr Stone, reassuring him they were on the right track.It was late at night, and eveywhere in the guesthouse was dark expect for the kitchen, where the voices of Elijah and Eleanor were audible. They both found themselves in the kitchen, attempting to bake cookies, which was unusual at this time of day.Elijah was leaning against the island while he read from a recipe book, “Apparently, we need butter, sugar, and eggs…” He muttered under his breath, scanning the book. Eleanor, who stood beside him had already gathered all the ingredients, tossing the ingredients into a bowl.She paused
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 15 Silence Is Enough
Elijah sat behind his desk in his quiet office. With him going through documents and Alfred sitting on a couch that sat on the other side of the office.It was no secret that the Windsor Conglomerate’s New York branch has seen a steady rise in all aspects in the past two months. And Elijah on the other hand, seemed to have settled nicely into his routine. Carrying the weight of responsibilities effortlessly.“These quarterly reports are looking good…” Elijah mumbled mostly to himself than to Alfred. Alfred, who had a cup of coffee in his hand which he occasionally sipped, let out a small satisfied smile.“You know,” Alfred began, sitting up from his reclined position. “For someone who once washed dishes day and night, you’ve quickly adjusted into this CEO role.” Elijah’s lips formed a small smirk, though he didn’t look up from what he was reading. “I learned from the best,” he said, his tone dry but warm.Alfred smiled, putting down his mug of coffee on the coffee table in front o

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
Chapter 36 A Deeply Loved Wife And Mother
“So, what you’re saying is, you think Liam intentionally told you about the heart?” Ried asked again, leaning forward slightly, his brown eyes on Marylin’s sage green ones.Marylin nodded, her hands folded into each other on her lap. Her eyes were showing certainty. “That’s what I believe. Liam is never careless. He wanted me to know.”Zayden, who had been sitting silently with his head looking down in thought, finally raised his eyes, his expression unusually serious. His voice was calm as he spoke. “She’s right, Liam is calculated. Everything he says and does is deliberate. It’s how he was raised. His dad drilled that into him.”Ried adjusted his sitting position, now sitting a bit straighter. “Alright, let’s say he did this on purpose. Why would he expose his own father?” He asked.“That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out,” Marylin said, shaking her head as she turned her gaze towards Zayden.Zayden stood up, stepping a few feet as he thought about the situation over a
Chapter 35 A New Life
Eleanor sat frozen in place as everyone at the table turned their sharp gazes towards her, waiting for an answer. What was she supposed to say? She knew it would cause a fit.She felt like disappearing into thin air. Just then, Carlos strolled into the mansion, his hands tucked in his pocket as he passed by the dining table. While Carlos couldn’t care less about his ban from dinners, Marcus was trying his absolute best to return to their grandfather’s good side.“I said, ‘Where is Elijah?” Mr. Stone’s voice rang once more. Eleanor began to fiddle with her hands as her lips parted, she was struggling to get the words out.Carlos, who was now on the staircase, stopped in his tracks, slightly glancing over his shoulder. His voice broke the silence. “He left. He’s in London.”Carlos said flatly, continuing his climb as though he hadn’t just dropped a bomb in the middle of the room.The reaction was immediate. “What?!” Said Mr. Stone and Uncle Marcus, their shocked and angry voices overl
