Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 17
A crisp black Lexus LFA pulled to a stop in front of Helena's. The chauffeur hurried over to the back, carefully pulling the door open. Black stilettos came scrapping against concrete before the full frame of a woman became visible. Rhonda parted the strands of hair threatening to cover her face to the side, as she observed the restaurant for a few seconds. It wasn't that packed, exactly the way she liked."If I'm not out in two hours, call me." She said to her chauffeur. He bowed his head a little, as she walked ahead.Inside the five-star restaurant, it didn't take long to locate Nathan Luxe. His head covered with grey hair was a dead giveaway. She approached the group, not exactly taking note of who was present, or not. It wasn't until she was standing before the table, that she realized what she had walked into. Unfortunately, it was a little too late for regrets. The tension her presence offered could be cut with a blunt knife. And as she stood awkwardly, waiting for the next lin

"Sorry for wasting your time. I took a quick detour to the restroom." Nathan said, joining the group again.The first thing he noticed as he sat down was the subtle tension at the table. He hid a smile, very much aware there was a developing story here."Perhaps the point of this meeting will finally be made known? Or should I just leave?" Winnie who had been quiet the whole time finally spoke.Elijah quietly took note of the testiness in her voice. She never allowed her frustrations to slip through, so something was bothering her."You're right. I should apologize once more for the distractions. Of course, we can discuss now, but in private." He took a glance at Elijah, who instantly understood what he was saying."Do you want me to leave?" He directed at Winnie."Yes." She replied, without looking up at him."Okay." He quickly rose to his feet and walked away.Rhonda's eyes followed him until he disappeared out of sight. She hadn't wanted to, but she couldn't help noticing he had as

Winnie stepped out and was immediately joined by her driver, who escorted her to the car. She stepped into the back seat and almost jumped out when she saw someone already seated."What the hell!" She grabbed her chest, realizing it was only Elijah."Hey, you're finally done." He said with zero emotions in his voice that acknowledged her surprise."You're still here?" She began to relax, as her breath returned to normal."Oh, I would have left if you wanted me to. Thought I should stay cus we came together." That made her pause midway into putting on her seatbelt, and she turned to him."Weird." She said, after what felt like a whole hour."What's weird?" He settled into his seat, as the car began to move."Nothing." She shook her head, returning her attention to the road.He sensed something was off. Could tell she was not completely being honest with him, but he wasn't the one to push things. When the time was right, she was going to tell him why she was acting strange. But first, h

The event had already started when Elijah, and Winnie stepped in. Elijah heavily underestimated the kind of presence a party hosted by Nathan Luxe was bound to garner, until he spotted the president of Flames Electronics, casually conversing with another person he was certain was a big shot too."Some party right?" Winnie said, and he nodded in agreement.They were still standing looking around when a man approached Winnie. Soon she was thrown into a conversation with him that told Elijah he needed to move. This party was not just for the rich to converge, and have fun. It was also a networking opportunity if you were smart enough to capitalize on it. Slowly, he surfed through the crowd. His eyes shot past a man standing beside Kingston Luxe too quickly. Slowly, it returned, resting on the guy with the silver eyes. A jolt of electricity suddenly passed through his veins, and against the will he had cultivated for the past five years, he was transported back to ten years ago.—TEN YE

"When you think of a fox, the first thing you associate with them is their cunning ability. Kitsunes or fox spirits are highly intelligent creatures. They can possess nine tails in a lifetime. The higher the tails, the stronger they are. It's difficult to tell who is one at first glance. They live in human bodies and act normal. But some people can tell. If you're a believer of the extraordinary, you may even be inclined to believe they're in our midst." By the time he was done speaking, Winnie was transfixed. She couldn't tell you half of what he had just said, because she was more interested in the glow his face took every time he just rambled on. For a man who didn't exactly fit in their world, the world of the rich, and elite. Sometimes, it felt like he was above them all."Are you okay?" He waved across her face when she didn't react.She blinked and pulled her face away. Taking the last drop of the drink in her glass to wet her dried tongue, she raised the empty glass, signaling

"What are you doing Rhonda?" Elijah asked when they were alone in the balcony. "What do you mean?" She countered with a question of her own. "You know damn well what I mean Rhonda. Why are you pretending we're not divorced?" But as he asked this question, a part of him longed for a positive answer. A glimpse of hope for them, in what had been too quick a decision. "Because I've not signed the paper." She said, and he felt a knot in his chest loosening. New hope was formed. The probability that they could get back together became much more positive. "Why?" He wasted not time to ask. "I don't know either. All I know is that I was too busy to sign it. When I eventually found the paper just laying on my desk at work, I became a little hesitant." She confessed. "Does this mean something?" "I don't know either." They grew silent for a while, each in their head. For Elijah, he couldn't afford to let his excitement at the situation cloud reasoning. Rhonda was perfect to get into the c

"I can see Kingston is here too." Elijah's eyes remain on the man who was hell-bent on avoiding him."Let's go then." Winnie smiles and tries to grab his hands. He easily withdraws it and moves past her, so he is closer to Kingston now. She looked around, her face red with embarrassment. Luckily, there was no one watching. Once again, Elijah had proven to her he was still all about Rhonda. That was why he would rather confront Kingston than leave with her."Hello, Kingston." He calls again."Hey." Kingston bobs his head and moves to leave, but Elijah grabs his sore hands. He turns to look at their hands joined, his eyes boiling in rage."Why in such a rush? And with that gloomy face too? Are you trying to tell your father you think his party is boring?" He asks, squeezing the hands.Thick veins appeared at the side of Kingston's face, as the already sore hands began to throb some more. "Let me go!" He warned between his teeth."Yes Elijah, let him go. What are you doing?" Winn

Winnie Carter woke up from what felt like a neverending dream, trapped inside a big black hole that just kept on spreading. She tried to crawl her way out, but it was like an invincible hand just kept from being able to break free. After trying one too many times, she felt a scream escape her throat, and that's how she woke up. She felt a wetness on her body and looked down to see her clothes completely drenched in sweat. Nightmares had become a pattern, and it wasn't looking like letting go anytime soon. She took a deep breath and stepped out of bed. Her first stop was to pick up her phone. Her heart began to thump loudly as she flipped it open, and went straight to her call log. She exhaled and flung the phone back to the bed. Of course, he hadn't called. Flat out shunned her at the party, and didn't even have the decency to call, and apologize. "Elijah---" She paused, realizing she didn't even know his full name. Hadn't he gone by "Anderson" when he was married to Rhonda? What e
