Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 192
The smell of dampened earth wafted through the windows into the living room, signaling the rain had stopped.Thirty minutes later, the boys were preparing to step out to find a truck when a heavy thud rattled the door.Elijah, standing in the living room while waiting for Tobias to come out from his room, raised his head when he heard footsteps approaching.“Are you expecting anyone?” He directed at Tobias, who just stepped into the living room.“Nope? Are you?” He asked with a frown etched on his face.He shook his head as his eyes trailed suspiciously towards the door. Up until the thud, he hadn't heard a sound that would suggest someone was outside. Maybe because he had been too deep in his head to notice. The events of the day were still so crazy to him. It made him wonder if his ring caused the exaggerated response.Those were his thoughts until the sound interrupted.“Oh, oh!” Snow suddenly barked, running into the room as if he was being chased.“What's your problem now?” Elija

“Who do you think you are to demand we stay? So we can listen to you cook more lies? You must be insane!” Her mother hissed and went directly in front of her daughter. “Come with me, baby. We're returning to the station and filing a report against these clueless cops, too.”“No, you're not!” Elijah insisted in a raised voice.“And who's going to stop me? You?” She sneered, giving him a disgusted once-over.“Yes, me,” he replied, returning her challenging gaze head-on.“Elijah, I don't think you should exchange words with the complainants. Just let them do whatever they have to do. We won't make any arrests until we fully understand the situation,” Montgomery assured him.“This is exactly why Mum says you're compromised. You saw the gun injury on my father. I have some bruises on my arms. How are you not making any arrests right now?”“Oh, shut up!” Elijah heard. It took him a few seconds to realize it was coming from Sandy.A small smile played on his face, making Anastasia even more

Much to his relief, the living room was empty when they stepped inside.“Wow, this is your place? It's so nice,” Jack said.He scratched the back of his head, thinking of the best possible way to respond to a compliment like that “Uhmm, thanks,” he settled for.He showed them to the couch and excused himself. On entering the kitchen, his steps faltered when he found Tobias munching on a cake.“Hey Elijah, are they—-”“Shhhh!” He hushed him. Motioning with his hands and heady, he explained the cops were still in the living room.“Oh–” he nodded.“I'll fetch two bottles of water, have a glass,” he mouthed to him.“Okay.” He shrugged.His eyes behind him, he walked over to the fridge, and picked out the bottles of water. Returning to the counter, he fetched two glasses. He was about to leave, when he paused, changing his mind.Backtracking towards Tobias, he stopped, placed the glass on the table, and tried to snatch the fork so he could scoop some cake into his mouth.He couldn't resis

A flicker of surprises crossed his eyes as they drove past a massive gate and stopped in front of a building with a signpost at the top of it that read, “ALL THINGS THAT MOVE.”He had never been to this side of town before, and it amazed him to note there was so much more in Quantum City than most of its citizens knew about.“Here we go!” Jack said, his voice ridden with excitement.As they alighted from the car, an attendant approached them.“Howdy, officers!” The man, who was in close contest with the ground, waved.Elijah had to reach down to see the man entirely. “You're good, Ashton?” Jack stretched out his hand for a handshake.“We're tryna survive, brother.” He laughed as their hands clapped.While the pleasantries were going on, Elijah took the opportunity to move his head around. It smelled like a mixture of oil, gasoline, and cigarettes. It's probably not the best combination due to how combustible things could get.But if you sniffed a little, you could perceive the underl

She saw him look at her but pretended not to notice as she kept her gaze locked on Lexington.“It's you!” Jack repeated.“Do I know you?” She slowly turned to the man, who kept screaming but paused when she noticed he was wearing a police uniform.“I'm at your service, ma'am,” he saluted, rising to his feet. Drawing near to her, he sought her hands.Amused, she projected it forward. He grabbed it and placed a gentle kiss on it. “Elijah was right. You look even more stunning in person.”Her eyes blinked multiple times, then lifted curiously. Lexington's gaze sought Elijah's, his lip curling into an amused smile.He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He had been put on the spot by that idiot who couldn't zip his mouth to save his life.“He said that?” Lexington, seeking more messiness, prodded.“He did. I thought he was lying for clout, but as it turns out, he was sincere,” Jack continued, unable to read the room. “I'm glad you think I'm pretty in person,” Winnie said.He turned his he

“Hey man, I didn't know things were that bad between you and Winnie.” Lexington didn't feel the need to proceed without comforting Elijah.They may be rivals or not even the best of friends, but the fact they like the same girl only meant they had exquisite taste. He wanted people with refined taste, which was why he couldn't bring himself to hate Elijah.“What'd you say?” He asked, totally lost.“I said I didn't know things were that horrible between you and Winnie.”“It's nothing.” He shrugged, finally recovering from the harsh burn of her silence.“Are you sure? She wouldn't even look at you. You know there was a time she'd only look at you in a room filled with people.”“Well, I guess I've been replaced. At least, it's by a man that can protect her.” He eyes him, but not maliciously.“Really? I'm flattered that you think that.”“I'm not prideful enough to not know when I've been defeated. As long as you care for her, I'm good,” he assured him.“You're one of a kind. Why do you act

He couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh. “You think I will take half a million dollars from you? I'm not a con artist!” He exclaimed, his face ridden with unbelieve.Elijah sighed. He knew the man was playing with him, but he was bored with the games. His eyes went to the heart-shaped clock hung on the wall directly in front of him, and he saw it was just ten minutes to midnight. If he didn't evacuate before tomorrow, he was as good as in trouble.“Could we just stop playing around and agree?” He didn't notice his desperation had slipped until Lexington stopped laughing and turned to him.“What are you trying to do?” He tried his luck again.Something told him he needed help. If he could open up to him, he would be more than happy to help.“If you're not going to give me a real price, I'll find my way out.” He pretended to rise, but Lexington quickly gestured for him to sit.“I don't know what it is, but I understand why you wouldn't want to speak to someone like me. Regar

It was 1:am a.m. when he pulled into the warehouse. He parked the truck and jumped down from it.He paced around for a bit, contemplating whether to start parking or wait for Tobias to arrive. But when he calculated the time it'd take for him to come, he decided to go ahead.He strode to the back of the warehouse and punched in the code. The doors slid open, and he went straight to the escalator. It took him down and stopped in front of the doors. He inputted the second code, and the doors to the lab opened.The nurse was waiting for him when he stepped in.“You're finally here. I thought you weren't coming anymore,” she said when she heard his footsteps.“I had to find a truck. Coupled with some delays. Where's mum? How's she?”“She's fine. Do we start to park now? Where's Tobias?'' She looked past him, hoping to see the happy-go-lucky chap.“Hey, on his way. I drove the truck here from the store I got it from. He's driving from the house.”“Yikes. That's an extremely long journey.”
