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
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 12 Romance Fiend
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
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 16 The Gala
The gala was everything Eleanor despised and everything her family adored. It was a grand hall, expensively decorated. A massive crystal chandelier hung from the middle of the ceiling, flooding the hall in light.Every corner of the hall held influential people and families. People who didn’t need to be introduced, their presence alone was enough to identify them. Every corner screamed wealth and extravagance. There was a huge banquet stationed at the farthest wall of the hall, holding all kinds of luxury foods and drinks.Stepping into the hall was the Stone family, Mr Stone stood in front, with his hands calmly crossed behind his back, his presence imposing.Behind him followed his five children, and behind them the grandchildren of the Stone family, including Eleanor. The hall fell silent as stares turned towards the doors. Low mumbles and whispers broke across the crowd, “That’s the Stone family.” “I heard a lot about how charitable they are.” “I also heard they’re aiming to sec
From Scorned To Supreme Chapter 17 Failure
Inside the Windsor Conglomerate’s New York branch, Elijah sat in his office, his face resting in his hand, with his undivided attention on the computer screen that sat on the table. He was watching the live CCTV footage that displayed the executive conference room. Alfred sat at the head of the table, reading a folder with an unreadable expression. Besides him sat Carlos and Marcus Stone, their expressions confident, yet they still held a humble smile on their face. Judging by their body language, they were at ease, thinking they practically had the contract in their hands already. Today was the last day of the two week time frame given to them by Mr Stone to secure the contract, and today was also the day Elijah would make sure to wipe the satisfaction off their faces. Alfred cleared his throat, leaning against his seat as he looked up at the pair. “I must say…” He began. “You both did a fairly good job.” Marcus and Carlos nodded, glancing at one another with smug look

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
