“What'd you mean, nobody? He almost brushed my car, driving the way he did.” She said.“He's not important. Let's forget him.” Elijah said as his eyes slowly lost the darkness.Cleo did not believe it was just nothing, but by the look of things, he didn't want to speak about it. She decided it was best to drop it.“Okay, I'm here now. What's up?” “Let's go in.” He said, briefly looking towards the road before moving his body forward.“You think this place is getting too exposed?” She asked as they went round the warehouse to the hidden entrance.“I know it is. They won't find the lab immediately, even if they look. We can't be too lazy about it, though. I'll think of an alternative soon.” “Okay.” She nodded as he pressed the buttons, and the door slid open for them to pass through.They made it into the escalator, going down to the lab.As it moved down, they both found solace in their thoughts.Elijah was pissed. He didn't know how great his life was going until an annoyance like K

“Are we going to get to the point of this ambush, or what?” Winnie directed at Nathan Luxe, who had spent way past an hour beating around the bush.As she did, her eyes went to the large clock directly on the wall facing her.By her calculations, John was supposed to be back so he could be on his way to deliver an important message on her behalf. She had neither heard from them, Aunt.The latter was not a bother. It would be nice if she never had to hear from him.“You're not listening to me.” Nathan countered in an argumentative tone.“Maybe you should explain your stance more clearly. I don't understand a thing either.” Colin, who had been quiet for a while, jumped.Nathan snickered. “This is not the time, Mr Trust. Why are you even here? This is between Winnie and I.” “That's Miss Winnie to you.” He corrected.“No, it's Winnie. She openly disregarded a contract we already had an agreement on. Because of her, I have to push back our annual art exhibition. Do you have any idea how

Elijah arrived at the address John sent him, and his phone rang.“Hey Cleo, an emergency came up. A friend's wife caught the disease and is in critical condition. I'll have to get back to you.” He rushed through an explanation and ended the call.As soon as his feet touched the ground, John hurried to meet him.“You're here.” He said with a hint of relief in his voice.“Any update?” He asked, bringing out the herb he brought with him.“A nurse friend of hers administered saline water just before I called. It worsened the situation.” Elijah's face scrunched. There was only one nurse who could possibly know about the saline water effect. What were the odds it was her?“Okay.” He said as John led the way into the house.He followed behind the big guy as they went into a room.As they stepped in, the nurse was rising to her feet. She turned around, and their gaze met and held briefly.“Hero guy?” She spoke first, breaking the spell.“It was you.” He nodded before looking past her to the

Elijah was standing facing the door when Winnie walked in. She went straight to him and stood covering his view. He raised his head and stared at her with an expressionless look.“Who is she?” She asked.“Who is who?” He squeezed his face.“The nurse. The newest woman in your life?” She didn't mean to sound the way she did, but the more she thought of it, the more upset she got about the situation.It had gotten to the point where she couldn't just stand by and say nothing.“What are you talking about?” His lip pursed as he stared at her like she had gone crazy.“Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. I saw her with you at the hospital and now in John's house.” “And no part of you paused to think it could be coincidental?” She scoffed. “There are no coincidences with you. You told me to go to hell, and now you're prancing around town with that woman.” The more she talked, the faster she realized she wasn't making sense.Yet, it didn't stop her from going on. It was t

Elijah returned to the lab and found Cleo waiting for him.“You're still here?” He asked as he stepped inside.“I am. Couldn't leave without you.” She said and threw him a wink.“You're so—” He shook his head as he walked to the fridge.“Hey, talk to me. Where'd you go to in such a rush?” She asked while he chugged a bottle of water down his throat.He didn't stop until it was empty, and his stomach was satisfied.He flung the bottle into a trash can and grabbed a chair.Placing it across hers, he sat down. “John, Winnie's bodyguard, had an emergency. His wife caught the disease, and it was deteriorating rapidly. He called me to help.”“Ouch! How's she? Were you able to cure her?”“Yep. Not only that, I made a discovery, too.” He said in an ominous voice, and her interest was instantly piqued.“What's that? Something to do with the disease?” She leaned out of her chair, her ears opening up.“I felt a kind of darkness when I stepped into that room. It was the same darkness I felt but d

“Why do you always sound so grumpy? Is it like a traumatic response? Do you need help? You better speak up now before it's too late.”Elijah could hear the mockery in his voice, but he couldn't fault him. Instead, he blamed himself for not heeding the detective's advice. Now, he had to listen to a man he despised the most out of all his enemies.“Is there a reason you called?” He placed the phone on loudspeaker and focused on the road.“Why? Do you think I'd call you to chat? We're not that cool.”Elijah nodded. At least he had said something true for once. “You know, you're right. It's also the reason I've not cut you off yet. You would never call me if it weren't for something important. What is it?”“I have a proposal for you. It involves a certain best friend named after a color and a god,” he said.Elijah was about to respond when a car drove to his side. He whipped his head to the side and found Cleo winding down. “What the fuck are you doing, man? You're driving like a crazy

“Heir?” He snorted. “You can't be serious right now.”“I am. Everything is exactly as I've said. You don't exist anymore in your world. You need someone to continue what you've failed to finish. I can provide you with that,” she said.Elijah instantly knew it was bullshit. He had his doubts before, however small they were. But right now, he was convinced someone was playing tricks on him.“Stay away from me.” He backed up while projecting a hand to keep her away.“Oh, common, don't be weird. It's not difficult to do. You did it plenty of times with, what's her name again?” She paused and rubbed her chin for a few seconds. Suddenly, she snapped her finger. “Aha! Blue, Avery, or whatever her name is. You also did it with your wife too. However, those were the early stages. Didn't last long, did it?” She asked in a teasing voice and laughed after.“You've had your fun. Why don't you cut it out now and tell me why we're here!” His voice grew tense, as he was sick and tired of going around

“Hey!” Elijah called as he hurried after him.He felt flapping as he moved. Looking down, he discovered he was fully clothed in a robe-like dress.Relief washed through him, even though he had momentarily forgotten he was naked.He raised his head to thank the stranger but was shocked to see they were at a different spot.“Not again,” he groaned.“It's annoying, right? No wonder the other gods want nothing to do with me,” the booming voice said.He shuddered and turned to see the man standing in front of him, behind him.“What is this place?”“Like she told you, it's the product of an imagination. A bored person's imagination. The difference is, it's not yours, but mine.”“How do you do it?” He asked, curiosity making him look around.This scenery was by far his favorite, so far. They were in a spring garden, which had all these beautiful flowers and a massive waterfall.When people dreamt about peace, this was probably what they saw.“Like I said, I'm bored. Roaming around the void f
