Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 109
"Your wife is pretty," Cleo whispered, poking Elijah's arm playfully."Ex-wife." He corrected but with a smile."Still, I can see why you stayed married for three years. She also looks like the only sane person in her family.""Tell me about it." "You know what I feel like doing right now?" Her voice took a dangerous tone, and alarm bells instantly blasted in his head."Cleo---""Gauging that Blue witch eye." She interrupted before he could warn her about doing too much."Hmmm," His head tilted to the side, as he nodded. "I don't argue against that."Nudging him with her head, she laughed."Just look at them. Something is going on between them." Nathan watched, irritated by the display right in front of him."Good for me." Colin rocking from side to side to the music responded absentmindedly. Nathan hissed, drowning himself in some more whiskey.He wasn't the only one irritated by the display. Rhonda beside him had a scowl on her face. It wasn't just because the new girl

The security guy didn't hesitate to open the mini gate for Winnie and Lexington. But as they drew closer to their friends, Cleo suddenly felt a shift in the air."Did you feel that?" She turned to Elijah, who by the look on his face was completely oblivious."See what?" His eyes squinted."Nothing. Forget it." She said, but she couldn't.Standing like that with her head to the ground, everything seemed fine. But the moment she raised her head up to watch Winnie approach, it felt like a clammy hands had wrapped around the base of her throat.The closer they got, the tighter the hand. She tried to control it's effect on her, but there was a recoil of effort. The force of the hand made her stumble forward, and she quickly grabbed a hold of Tobias to keep her from falling face flat."Are you okay?" He held on to her, his voice shaky with panic.Elijah took a notice too, and stooped. "Cleo? What is it?""I don't know. It just fe--- I need to get out of here." She struggled hardy bu

"Thanks for the offer. We'll take it." Tobias said before Elijah could reject the offer. He knew how proud his friend was. He never wanted to owe anyone, so he never took favors.Winnie smiled. "You're welcome. Come with me please." She said, walking past Elijah who just stood there, unmoving with the blankest stare on his face.He turned when he heard footsteps moving, and saw they were already halfway out of the room."Why don't you go with them? Your friend needs you by her side." He felt Rhonda's hands on his sleeves, and he turned his face to the side to see she was standing there.Suddenly, he felt guilty for even conceiving the thought of kissing Winnie in her presence. She had been nothing but supportive. Even stood up against her family on his behalf. He couldn't thank her enough, but if there was something he could do, it was to let her know he appreciated all of her efforts. "Thanks for everything, Rhonda. Sincerely, I mean it." He covered her hands with his and was goi

Elijah wanted to ignore the footsteps. He finally admitted to himself he wanted this for too long, and now he was about to get it. But when he felt Winnie twisting uncomfortably in his arms, he raised his head, curiosity burning in his eyes."Someone's coming." She simply said.Immediately after the words left her mouth, two heads burst into the scene. Reflexes kicked in, and they jumped out of each other's hold."Winnie?""Grandpa!"' She swirled, coming face to face with her grandfather, and the stranger beside him.Her eyes dropped to the ground, and she found his cane. Strange she didn't hear its sound. She would have known it was her grandfather approaching."Are you okay?" He asked, staring at his flushed-faced granddaughter.She seemed nervous, and he wondered why."Yeah. Of course, I'm fine." She waved a dismissive finger."You are," He looked past her to the man she was standing with. He still had his back turned to them, but he still looked familiar. "Elijah?" Elija

Elijah was fuming when he finally found the door to Winnie's room. He knocked once, and it was opened."Finally you're here." Tobias opened the door wider so he could pass through."Where is she?" His eyes darted round the room."On the bed." Tobias pointed.He raised his head up, and blinked twice. She was sitting up, staring straight at him, and he had managed to miss her."You look angry. Who upset you. Is that why you're only just coming?" She asked, not giving him any time to answer before jumping to the next question.He walked up to her, and dropped to the empty space beside her. "Are you okay now?" He asked, the urgency in his voice alarming her."I'm fine. What's wrong?" Her eyes was filled with worry as she waited for him to say something."Bro, is everything okay?" Tobias who had moved closer raised a curious brow."Cleo?" He called, his voice a little strained."Yes?" She moved closer."We both watched Asher die right?"Her heart skipped a beat the second the que

"Does Winnie want something?" He asked, looking beyond Lexington."Why would she need something from you?" He countered, still keeping his smile."Look, I don't have time for whatever games you're trying to play. If you'll excuse me." He said, making an attempt to walk out on him."No you're not excused." His booming voice stopped him on his tracks.He returned to the position he was before, trading looks with Tobias who was just as confused as he was. "Elijah. I've heard about you." Lexington nodded, pointing at him."At this point, everyone probably has." He shrugged."Really?" He raised an amused brow. "I didn't hear you are this cocky though." "Cocky?" Elijah scoffed."Yeah, do you have something important to say or can we please leave?" Tobias who was okay with being quiet before, spoke up."I know why you're worried. Only came here to assure you Winnie is in safe hands." He ignored Tobias, instead, focused his attention on Elijah.His statement made Elijah blink a co

Cleo knew her plans had every element of ridiculousness infused in them, but that wasn't going to stop her from doing what she had to do. And what she had to do was wait.So In the darkness of the parking lot, she waited. The seconds counted to minutes and into half an hour. Her legs were starting to hurt. She bounced from toe to toe, swirled, picked up a stick lying on the bare ground, and swung it around. She imitated the sound of night birds, dodged twice when she thought she saw the flashlight of security personnel, and swallowed her spit one too many times out of thirst.At exactly thirty minutes into her time outside, she heard the clinking of footsteps scraping across the ground. Whoever it was looked in haste She waited patiently, even holding her breath.First, their legs appeared, followed by the rest of their body. She smiled when she saw it was exactly who she had been waiting for.Gliding out of hiding, she stood in front of Avery, blocking her path. The visibly upset

The party was coming to an end, but there was still no sign of Elijah. Winnie decided to go search for him, or at least find out if his friend was okay.She was about to leave when someone blocked her path. She raised her head to see it was no one else but Colin."Is there a problem?" She asked, her tone curt and dismissive."I've been staring at you all night. You look worried. Are you okay?" He leaned in, feeling his voice being washed out by the loud music.She frowned, and moved back, maintaining the distance between them. "I'm fine. I was going to go look for Elijah. His friend is not out yet, and I'm a little concerned." She said, her eyes darting across everywhere but towards him.He let out a low chuckle. "His friend? Do you think he's just friends with a girl as gorgeous as she is?" He instigated.She sent him a sharp look, her chin jutting forward. "Why can't they just be friends? He had a male friend with him. Are you saying they're in a poly relationship?" She asked, foldi
