Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 130
Cleo drove like a madwoman into the compound and parked haphazardly. She jumped out of the car, at the same time Tobias did.Without much need of communication, they both tried to get an unmoving Elijah out of the car. It was like his body had suddenly become slippery. The more they pulled, the more he slipped out of their hold."Wait, I'll try something."Despite feeling weak, Cleo conjured the very last strength from her essence. "Move back." She barked at Tobias, who quickly obliged.She placed her hands on him and shut her eyes. When she opened it again, she was in his room, and they were both on the bed. She rose and straightened Elijah's legs."That bastard." She muttered under her breath."Are you in here?" Tobias burst into the room, followed closely by Snow."We're here." Cleo turned from Elijah brief enough to acknowledge their presence there, and returned her attention to him.He had been quiet for a while now, but there was a pool of sweat forming on his forehead."Is it

Elijah woke up the following day in a pool of his sweat. He tried to stand up, but a weariness in his bones drove him back to the bed.He shut his eyes and sought out the source of his weakness. The previous night's events began to roll like a movie in his mind.When he got to the kiss with Winnie, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. But just a little further, the scene where he fell to his knees splashed in his face, completely erasing the memory of the kiss."Asher." He breathed out in anger.With a fierce determination that formed a dent in his creased forehead, he rose to his feet, ignoring the lingering pain.He went to his bathroom and turned the shower to the coldest temperature. Letting the water rain down on him, he planned his revenge.It wasn't just going to be anything well thought-out. He would find Asher wherever he was and put him in his place.He turned off the shower and stepped out. That's when he saw Snow snoring on the other side of the room."What's he doing

"Sir--- Sir, can you please help me? Help me, please." A voice from the crowd screamed."Please help my daughter." Another added."My dad is dying."And another, and another.Elijah, caught in their midst with no means of escape, beat himself up for putting himself in this mess in the first place.If he had just followed Dr. Hill and demanded he told him everything he knew about the newcomers, he would have been in the haunt for Asher right now.He tried to struggle through, but even more people were coming through. Both the ones who had no idea why everyone rallied around him and the ones who thought he was the Messiah."I need everyone to calm down." He called, defeatedly."No, we need your help!" An entitled voice screamed."It's obvious they don't know what they're doing here. They're only attending to the elites first.""That's simply not true." A voice defended.He turned to see the nurse who had handed him the saline water pushing through the circle. The more she moved, the mor

Elijah couldn't risk people recognizing him as the guy who healed the little boy, thereby drawing attention to him, but there was no other way to exit the center.He stood just outside Dr. Hill's door, contemplating what to do next when someone sneaked on him from behind."Hey." The familiar voice said.He turned and, once again, found the saline nurse staring at him."Are you lost?" She asked with a smile.Something about her seemed so manufactured. There was no reason to be smiling that hard. It made him upset for reasons he couldn't name."No. I'm just trying to leave without drawing attention.""I can help with that." She offered enthusiastically.He paused his moving head and turned to her. "You can?""Come with me."She walked into the adjoining room, and he followed her. "Isn't this an office room?" He asked."Yes. But it also doubles as one of the paths to the more private wards." She explained in a hushed tone."Private wards?""Yep. For the richer folks. They have their exit

They turned at the same time to see Avery come in."What are you doing here?" Asher, stepping away from Elijah, blocked her from coming any further.Her eyes skipped past him to the girl on the couch and then back at him. "Typical." She said."You didn't answer my question. Why are you here? How do you know I live here?""I promise, it wasn't that hard to figure out,'' She maneuvered her way through him and walked to Elijah. "Hey, handsome. Don't you think it's time to drop the act so we can talk?" She touched his face with her fingers.Pushing her hands away, he took a step back. "You two are still at it, I see." He gave her a disgusted once over."Uhmm, no. Immediately no. There's no me and him. I'm only here on behalf of my cousin. I need you to believe me this time.""I don't care enough about you to believe whatever you say for yourself. All I know is for your void. Stay the hell away from me."He had almost reached the spot where Asher stood when her words stopped him. "Don't yo

They rode in silence, each to their thoughts.For Avery, she couldn't believe despite how much she hurt Elijah, he had still come to her aid. All those years of him loving her with all his heart, she ruined because of age's unhealthy obsession with Asher."Ah! Asher." Her mind whispered as she closedShe could remember the very first time she saw him. She must have been 13 or younger. He was this gorgeous older guy who walked with a swagger she had never seen before. Her heart instantly fluttered, and she was remarkably drawn to him.It worsened when she discovered she could speak to him about anything. He told her he knew her secret, and he had one of his own.That's how it all began. In the early days, she had truly loved him. Even in bed with Elijah, she only thought of him and how the tables turned."Do you feel pain?"At first, she didn't respond. Her ears almost couldn't believe he was speaking to her. Ideally, he had no reason to show more concern than he already had toward her

He was still lost in his head when the doors opened and the nurse came back in. She took a moment to look at him. If she didn't have to run a couple of tests on Mrs Bane, she would never interrupt him.Unfortunately, what must be done must be done. Gently, she tapped his shoulders, and his eyes snapped open."Hey, you've been here for over three hours already. I need to run some tests on your mother." She said.He squinted and blinked, trying to readjust to the light. "Did you say three hours?" He asked when her words registered in his brain."Yes, I did. I'm glad you stopped by, but I must do my job now." She said in a firm voice.He nodded, proud that there was at least one person he could trust to help. Rising to his feet, he bent his head a little and kissed his mother's forehead. "Thank you for today." He whispered, stroking her cheeks."She's a fighter." He heard the nurse say, and he was inclined to agree.She was indeed a fighter. That was the reason he had to do everything po

Elijah was on his feet immediately. "What are you doing here?" He asked, walking purposefully towards him."Please, Elijah, let's hear him out." Tobias stopped before the man as an enraged Elijah came to a halt."So you brought him here with you?" The disappointment was heavy in his voice, but Tobias quickly cleared his name."No, I didn't. He followed me. I just think violence is not required in every situation." He explained.Elijah would not let it slide until he saw his friend's exhaustion. His shoulders relaxed, and so did his popping veins. "You look tired." He communicated his observation."That's because I'm exhausted. You have no idea how ---" He stopped, remembering he was in the presence of a stranger."Oh, don't let me stop you from venting. By all means, carry on." Lexington ushered with a wave of his finger.Elijah drew gaze from his friend, taking it to Lexington instead. "Why are you in my house?" He went straight to the point."Curiosity? I wanted to know where the cu
