Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 160
By the time Elijah stepped out of the center, it was completely dark. He was about to hop into his car when his phone rang.“Every bloody time!” He shook his head but knew he couldn't ignore it.Resigning himself to fate, he pulled the phone out and answered the call.“Hey man, where's everyone?” It was Tobias at the other end of the line.He let out a deep breath and relaxed his tensed muscles. “Isn't Cleo at home?” He asked.“Nope. Snow isn't here, either. Where are you?” He asked.“Something mad came up. Winnie is missing.” He tucked the phone in his ears, using his head as support, as he opened the car and got in.There, he withdrew the phone from his ears and put it on a loudspeaker, then dropped it in the passenger's seat.“What'd you mean she's missing? Like missing-missing? Or went for a vacation and do not want to be disturbed, missing?”“Unfortunately, I think it's the former. Her grandfather is in terrible condition. He almost fainted earlier on. I have to find her tonight,

He suddenly stopped hearing her screams, but he kept on driving. A destination unknown, yet he would instead make a fool out of himself than not follow his guts or the voice in his head.The land started to get thinner and more narrow. A sweet smell of lavender wafted around his nose, making him reflexively inhale.On this path, he gained a little bit of clarity. Not only could he smell the lavender, but he could also smell her. No one who had inhaled Winnie's scent before could ever miss it.“Stay with me. I'm on my way,” he whispered as if she could hear him. He hoped the wind carried his promise to her. Give her comfort and reassurance until he arrives to save her.Exactly ten minutes of driving through the lavender, fragrance-filled, narrow path, he found himself in front of a big castle-like house.Dead trees and weeded grasses surrounded the mansion. It was another thing that looked familiar, but he couldn't place why it did.He parked and ran out of the car. He continued on hi

Ivan stared at his hands with eyes widened from shock and disbelief. He had heard correctly when the rumors Elijah didn't have his powers surfaced. He had sensed it himself when he walked through the door. How could he possibly have done what he just did?“Now you've hurt my feelings,” Elijah said, retrieving his hands. “I don't just shake anyone, but I wanted to shake you.” He laughed humorlessly.“What are you? What have you done? I can't sense your powers, yet you were able to lift the barrier. It's her blood. You're consuming her blood,” he stumbled through his words.“Her blood?” He scoffed. “What does it have to do with anything? You know I keep hearing talks about her blood, but aside from how good it smells, no one has told me why the obsession with it.”“I'm no fool. Please don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. The same way Asher drank from the blood of a fairy to trigger his immortality, you're also planning to do the same!”“Ohhhhh,” he stroked his chin. “So

Their lips moved slowly, loving, tasting, seeking, devouring each other, learning every line and curve, exchanging breaths. And when they reached a discovery, Elijah slowly pulled out.“We should stop now,” he said, slightly out of breath.“I don't want to.” She shook her head.“You went through something terrible. Don't you want to talk about it?” He asked, gently stroking her cheeks.“I have forever to speak about it, but when will we ever have this opportunity again?”He sighed, “Winnie—”“You know it's the truth. Anything can happen tomorrow. He'll, anything can happen in the next two hours. You might decide you don't want to be seen close to me or that hiding your secrets is more important than solidifying friendships. I don't know.”Something in the way she said ‘secrets’ caught his attention. He found himself drawing away from her into a sitting position.“Right.” She threw her hands into the air, frustration etched on her face.“Winnie, things aren't black and white. I don't w

A buzzing sound woke him up the following day. Even in his sleep, he could recognize the sound. He opened his eyes and found Winnie pressed against his naked body.Careful not to wake her up, he hurried her to the side and rolled out of bed. As he stepped down, he saw their clothes scattered all over the ground. Crouching, he picked up his pants and pulled out his phone from its back pocket before dragging it up his waist.He tiptoed out of the room down to the living room before answering.“Good morning, sunshine. How'd it go?” “Cleo?” His brow snapped together at how chirpy her voice sounded.“Your one and only,” she laughed.“Why do you sound so happy?” He asked as if it was a crime for her to be happy.“When you're on the road, driving way beyond the speed limit, it tends to get you pumped up,” she explained.“And why are you on the road this early?”“Okay, Mr journalist, slow down!” He didn't need to see her to know she had rolled her eyes hard. The thought made him chuckle. “

A couple of excuses ran through his head, but before he could settle on one, his lip started to move. “He said what?” “Exactly what I said. I didn't believe him at first, still really don't, but he did some bizarre and questionable things,” she sighed.“Like what?” He asked, hoping to keep her talking long enough to get out.“He read my mind. He could tell what I was thinking just by looking at me. Also, when I opened my eyes, I was bound. I told him to prove he was real, and the bound came off,” she paused when he kept looking at her with expressionless eyes. “What?”“It's just hard to believe. Are you sure you didn't imagine things? Judging the circumstance, it could be some psychological trickery,” he said. He hated how he had to resort to manipulation, but he couldn't just tell her the truth. There were too many risks involved.Most significantly, the risk of having her hate him. For that alone, he would instead remain a secret forever.“I don't know. I mean, are you sure? I don'

“Do you know him?” He asked, tailing behind him.“Doesn't matter. Not important. We have to wake Tobias first!” He declared, dropping to his knees in front of him.He switched his position, laying on his back, and placed his head on his chest. When he didn't get the results he sought, he searched for a pulse in his hand.“Is he going to be fine?” Snow panicked behind him.“He should be.” Elijah rose slightly and carried Tobias into his arms.“Wow, you're powerful,” Snow said as Tobias was transported to his room.He placed him on the bed and moved out to open all the windows.“I don't know what that bastard did to him, but we must create as much natural air and light as possible.”“Why?” He asked, observing Elijah as he paced from one part of the room to the other.“Cus nature heals, Snow. It heals.” He paused at the center of the room, a thought forming in his head.“I think there's a way I can hasten his consciousness.”“How?”“It's highly unconventional, but my dad discussed it a l

As he opened his mouth to speak, the door blasted open and fell off its hinges. The frame flew across the room, landing on the glass windows, and shattered.“Not again!” Elijah whined.The sound of huge boots greeted their ears as they waited for the latest guest to intrude.“I told you you'd pay!” A voice said. Before they could see who it was, he flung Elijah across the wall.He twirled, and turned to Asher who had taken a fighting stance. “Ivan!” He called with disgust when he saw it was the god.“Asher!” He returned. His hand closed into a fist, as he lunged after him.Asher bends, and his hands fly across his head. He stumbled forward, and Asher used the opportunity to pick him from the ground up.“Did you add more weight?” He goofed, throwing him down. He landed on the center table made of glass, and it shattered all over his body.He broke into a feat of laughter, as he turned to Snow who had sneaked behind him to hide. “Did you see that?” He asked between laughter.Elijah slo
