“I can't believe we're still talking about murder, after everything we've put that family through,” William Carter hissed.“That family, or rather, the last remaining of that family will take us down if we don't put a permanent end to them. I agree with Dr Hill on this. We really should kill the bastard.”“No!” Tiana said.“What do you mean by, no?” Kingston was fast to ask.The meeting was boring him before, but things were actually picking up now. That was a real opportunity to kill Elijah.To get rid of the thorn in his flesh for life. They would be stupid not to go with the plan.“Do you think he hasn't told at least someone else who can help him enact revenge if he knows about us? With Elijah, we can see him. We can watch his moves, and even keep him under control. Imagine someone else we don't know. I'd rather keep my enemy close than get rid of him.”“I agree with Tiana,” Colin Trust said. “There's no point killing him when we still need a lot from him. Most importantly, the ri

John was pacing about, waiting for a doctor when his thoughts snapped.It suddenly occurred to him there was a doctor available.He stormed out of the room and went straight to the living room to fetch Dr Hill.As he burst into the living room, everyone present turned to look at him with curiosity in their eyes.“I need you,” he said to Dr Hill.“Me? Why?” He frowned, regarding John with curious eyes.“Sir Carter. He's— just come with me!’He turned about, and Dr Hill sprang to his feet.“I'd be right back,” he said to the crew, as he ran behind John.They entered Williams ' room to find him twisting in pain.“I think it's his heart!” John called.Dr Hill went straight beside him. He observed with his eyes carefully, before slowly lifting his hands up.“What are you doing?”He ignored the hysterical John and focused on the old man.Years and years of knowing him flashed before his eyes.As a boy, he had heard about William Carter from his father.The man who was going to revolutionize

“I want to stay, but I should leave. It's the right thing to do,” Winnie said as they separated.“Bullshit! I won't allow you to go out at this time of the night. You should sleep here tonight.”She was suddenly shy. Twisting her hands, she turned her head to the side. “Are you sure that's okay? I don't want to inconvenience you.”“You need to stop acting weird, Winnie. Nothing is going to change between us. You're making me feel horrible.”“Please don't—” she reached out to touch him, but paused in realization. “I'm doing too much.” She bit her lips, the self-awareness hitting her hard.“You can sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the couch in the living room.”“Why?” She asked before he could take a step.As he brought his eyes back to her, he found her looking around.“What do you mean why?”“We've shared a bed before, Elijah. If truly you're okay with me, there's no reason we can't again.”“Uhmm you forgot the circumstances of that night.”“Oh, I remember,” her eyes remained on a dot

As John slammed the door shut, he was met with a barrage of questions from the exclusives.“What the fuck is going on?” Kingston hissed. “Why are the press here? Fuck! Our cars are in the parking lot. Do you think we'd be in the news too?” Nathan worried aloud.John was irritated. They were the most selfish and self-centered group he had ever seen.Worrying about being found by the press, when his boss was in a critical condition.“John, can I speak to you?” Colin asked more level-headed than the rest.He nodded, and they moved to a corner.“Is Sir Carter fine? What's going on?” He asked.Before he responded, he waited to hear a note of sincerity in his voice or see a hint in his eyes.“He has a slight health issue. Dr Hill took care of it already. He's now sleeping in his room.”“Oh. Will he be fine? Is there anything we can do?”“He will be fine. As for what you can do, please wait for the press to be cleared out, then you can leave. I'm sure the boss would love to be alone when he

She knew she wasn't supposed to kiss him back. Everything between them was too heavy to be playing house, but she couldn't help herself.How many nights had she dreamed of this? After that night in his arms, she had longed to be with him again.Now the opportunity had presented itself. She couldn't possibly let it pass, could she?“Can I?” She thought, suddenly remembering Laura Anderson's words.She stilled, and Elijah felt it and pulled away.“What is it?” He asked with concern in his voice as he stroked her cheeks.“We should stop,” she said.“Why?” “You kissed Rhonda. There's still something that should be explored between you two. I don't want to come in between anything.”He wanted to argue. To counter her claims. To tell her why that kiss had happened in the first place. But that would require telling her the entire truth.The night had seen enough truth to last for a while. Maybe some other times he'd be bold enough to confess.“You're right. I kissed Rhonda. It's wrong to ki

Elijah woke up with a start. He turned to see Winnie still fast asleep.Carrying her head gently out of his chest, he placed it on a pillow.He rose to his feet, his ring glowing. Marching out of the room, he walked straight out of the house.It was barely dawn. Just the first break of lights shone through.Everywhere was silent, as everyone slept. He walked behind, to the garden, his footsteps leading him there.He stopped when he saw the frame of a man standing with his hands shoved into his pocket.Asher turned around, a grin forming on his face as he faced him.“What beautiful land you have here. Have you thought about expanding?”“What do you want Asher?”His eyes went down to the ring, and his smile brightened. “That thing is like a morning wood, right? It wakes up and just glows. Damn, I envy you!”Elijah hissed between his teeth. “Why are you always in my house? I'm getting sick and tired of you trespassing?”“Why? Do you feel guilty?” He grinned mischievously.“Guilty? Why s

“You're joking right?” He chuckled nervously.She looked around her as if he was talking to someone other than her. “Me?” She pointed to her chest. “Why would I be joking about seeing her? I really want to see her. Take me to her.”“I can't do that.”She frowned. “You've not forgiven me?”He hissed. “I told you I hold no grievances. I just don't think you need to see my mother. Not just anyone can go into her room.”She swallowed her hurt and shame at his words and pushed forward. “I'm not just anyone. I don't care what you choose to say, or believe, but I'm not anyone. I want to see your mother. She's the reason you wanted that herb, isn't she?”“Nicely deduced. What gave me away?”“Your persistence. It was the reason I found you hot in the first place. You knew what you wanted, and went for it.”“Why then did you lie to me that you went through great troubles to find it?”Her face flushed, unable to keep up the back and forth with a straight face. “How do you know I didn't?”“Becau
