“Who is the king—” he blinked, and Green was gone.“Green?!” He screamed at the top of his lungs.“Where are you, Green?” He looked around, searching frantically.From his closet, to under his bed. Even his bathroom. Through every corner he searched, he screamed out his name.“Come back, Green. Tell me what God you're talking about!”His room door was pushed open, and a nurse burst into the room.“I heard you screaming, Elijah! Are you okay?” She searched his face worriedly.“Where's Green?” He asked, his head rotating from one axis to the other.“Who is Green?” She questioned, totally confused.“Green. Green!” He repeated like she was supposed to know.“Elijah? Is everything fine?” Snow strolled into the room.“Where the fuck is Green!” His ring began to glow, its intensity pushing him to the bed. As he dropped on it, he felt a sudden shudder.He blinked again, and everything became normal.“It wasn't Green,” he muttered drowsily, as his head fell to the pillow. “It was a vision. H
William Carter paced back and forth in his living room, still trying to recover from the shocking news he heard.It had trickled into his ears late last night, hence, he couldn't get a sink of sleep.When he woke up that morning, he had just one thing in mind. He needed confirmation of the rumors he heard.He had sent a message to the exclusives for an emergency meeting.He didn't want to do it in his new house, but his daughter was staying at his former place. If he held it there, she would butt in.He also didn't want it to be held in their usual meeting spot. Something told him it was a little compromised.He was still pacing when the first car arrived.He looked through his windows and saw Tiana Anderson.John came into the house, a tired look on her face.“They're starting to arrive.”“Thanks, John.”The man had been not just a faithful servant to him, but also to his precious granddaughter.John knew about the exclusives. He had silently watched them run the city of years.He di
“I've made up my mind, I want a house like this. The design is simply magnificent!” Nathan Luxe declared.William Carter threw him a state from the corner of his eyes. Of course he would want a house like this.Vain!They were all vain, and that was why they could never see behind their nose.It was always what they stood to gain. Never about the impact of their sons on others.Selfishness was the order of their days. More and more, he hated himself from embracing them.But it had not started like this, had it? No, it did not. Unfortunately, he was the only one of his time still active, alive.The Trusts, Luxe, Anderson, all dead. All forgotten, but he was still standing.Perhaps the reason they plotted to kill him. After all, he was against most of their deeds.He hated himself for doubting his own daughter's motives. He was certain it had to be her or her useless husband that planned to kill him.Yet, the real culprits stood in front of him. One of which he was going to discover,
“Wait, how's that even possible?” Kingston, who knew nothing about this latest bombshell, asked.“Why wouldn't it be? It makes complete sense because Elijah once worked for Dr Banes. Tiana, you in fact should be able to shed more light on this fact,” Nathan said.“Me?” She clutched her chest, her face contorting with confusion. “Why me? What does anything about Elijah have to do with me?”“Yeah, because your daughter was married to the man. She didn't just pick him up from thin air, did she?” Nathan rolled his eyes.There was nothing he hated more than people who purposefully acted slow. Tiana thought she was just here for some gossip when this was a serious discussion that had to be had.“He's right, Tiana. How did your daughter and Elijah meet?” Colin asked.From the position he sat, William Carter observed everyone present in the room.While they were trying to figure out how Elijah could possibly own that ring, he was still reeling from the shock of him having the ring in the firs
“So he said his name was Elijah Green, huh? Why don't I believe it? Did he show any ID that attested to this fact?”“Not exactly. But what reason does he have to lie?” William questioned, still not certain where Colin was going with all of this.“Exactly! Why would he like it?” Colin smiled.“Do you know something? You've been acting really weird,” Nathan asked, throwing him a pointed look.“We're all figuring things out together, right? Two things we've discovered so far. Tiana didn't know the last name of Elijah when he married her daughter. Mr Carter said his last name is Green. Perhaps, he got his memory back? Or maybe he's a fluke.” He shrugged.“If you have something to say, why don't you just say it? My brain hurts trying to decode where you're going with all of this information,” Tiana hissed.“Dr Hill? You've been awfully quiet. Is there anything you'd love to add to this discussion?” Colin directed at the doctor, ignoring Tiana in the process.“What a rude jerk!” She thought
“I did some digging when I returned to Quantum. The very first time I saw Elijah at the Luxes business party, my curiosity, or shall I say interest was piqued,” he smiled.Nathan Luxe leaned in, trying to absorb every word. His palm tingled with the excitement of holding on to something that'd enable him to finally end Elijah.His son, Kingston, had his head all up in the clouds. He was one leg in, one leg out. Sure he wanted to hear the almighty secret Elijah was keeping, but he also wanted to leave the meeting as soon as possible.Tiana sipped her wine, and crossed her legs. Anticipation was rising by the second. She had an idea where this could possibly be headed to. That exact thought scared her a little. Too many consequences that could arise. Way too many.For William Carter, he just wants to get this tell all over with, so he could plan his next steps. His hand gripped his cane tightly, feeling a crippling anxiety in his chest.He couldn't afford a heart attack at this stage. T
Winnie who had paid her grandfather a surprise visit had decided to go in through the backdoor.She had driven through the back, and had entered the house without sending anything off.Maybe it was because they didn't expect anyone to come into the back. She had only met one security official who gladly welcomed her in.She was tiptoeing to her grandfather's room when her ears caught Tiana Anderson's voice.She thought surely she was going crazy, until she diverted her legs towards the living room. Peeping, she found a very interesting circle in her father's living room. Now, with tears running down her face as she struggles to pull out her keys from her purse, her discovery tormented her.They had killed his entire family. Set his father's sweat on fire. The woman she had seen being rolled into his eyes had to be his mother in a vegetative state.Her body vibrated, as her purse kept slipping out of her hand and falling to the ground. With her body crouched, she wailed. The thought
“Winnie?” Elijah's brow knitted, as his hands covered her body.“I'm so sorry,” she repeated over and over again as she clung to him.He didn't have the slightest clue what she was going on about, but she needed him. Up until that moment, he hadn't realized just how much he also needed her.She remained in his arms for some solid minutes, before she finally pulled away.“You must have been so hurt,” her palm found its way to his cheeks. “All I did was stupidly push you, instead of trying to understand your side of the story. I'm sorry, Elijah.”He looked beyond her, and it was pitch black outside. There was no camera in sight, so he was quite certain no one was pulling a prank on him.“Do you want to come inside?” He asked, hoping to get an explanation for her strange behavior when they were alone.Alone because even before he turned, he knew he'd see Tobias, Snow, and the nurse.“Can I? Really? I don't know anymore.” She shook her head.“Common,” he stretched out his hand.Slowly, sh
