Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 38
Elijah got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around him, he dashed into the room. He went straight for the drawer he had emptied the contents of the duffle bag in. The journal was the first thing he saw when he opened it. Grabbing it, he went back to the bed, and quickly opened it. He began to flip through the pages, frantically searching for anything related to the exclusives. He was starting to think his memories had played a trick on him because he could have sworn he had seen that name before. But he got to the middle page of the journal, and there it was staring back at him. A single entry which read: "They came again, the exclusives. Saying they'd give me whatever backing I needed for Crawford Laboratory to become untouchable in Quantum City. Once again, I turned them down."That was it. The end. There was no other mention of it in the journal. His brain began to work overtime. While his father had been careful with the things he said around him, his mother n

The passage into the meeting room was always dimly lit, and dull. However, upon entering the room itself, it overflowed with light from different sources. The mahogany walls were filled with paintings of different monuments of the city and a big map of the biggest and most important buildings of Quantum City. Just beside it, and at the center of the wall was a big antique clock. The center of the room itself was a big table filled with different kinds of books and documents. Around the room were golden-coated couches filled with the fluffiest pillows. At both ends of the room stood library-like bookshelves that held more books. The contrast between the modern lighting, and ancient interior design added to the mysterious appeal of the hidden room. Built with thick walls to trap every sound, it was the most secure building in the entirety of Quantum City. It was in this same room the elites of the City gathered tonight after three whole years to discuss a pressing issue. While t

"What do you mean if all the Crawfords were eliminated?" Tiana for the first time spoke, panic in her voice.They all turned to her, realizing Kingston was not only the first-timer there. With the way he had behaved earlier, one would think he was a regular member."Tiana Anderson. I almost forgot you were invited." Nathan said, stroking his beard.She ignored him, focusing all her attention on Dr Hill. "Did you kill the Crawfords?" She asked."Didn't your father tell you about the inner workings of the City before he died?" Dr Hill returned."I got to know about this gathering on his deathbed. When I got a text from you about a meeting tonight, I didn't quite know what to expect.""Did he give you a journal?" Colin asked."Yes, he did.""Great. When you get home, you do well to read through it. Frankly, we don't have the time to fill you in from the top." Dr Hill said, his voice marked with irritation."My father told me everything I need to know. No need to fill me in." Kin

It was well into the morning of the next day when the rays of light struggling through the blinds began to rest on his face, Elijah's eyes stirred open. He blinked twice, staring directly at the ceiling. It took him a few seconds for his brain to reboot. When it did, the events of the previous day began settling in. " Today's a new day Elijah." He yawned, getting out of bed.He grabbed his phone to check for the time. His eyes squinted when it came to rest on what would be considered disastrously late by his standards. The fact he had slept that long, and that well in the first place was very suspicious. On reflex, his hands touched his face. They didn't hurt anymore. He looked into his phone screen to see how they looked, but he could barely see his face. The moment turned around to check the mirror, his eyes landed on something dark, shiny, and extremely fluffy staring into his eyes with the most golden brown eyes. "What the hell?" He shuddered, swaying a bit."Hi." Snow waved

"How do you do it?" Tobias suddenly asked, drawing his attention away from her face."Do what?" He asked."Not get angry."Elijah scoffed. "Who said I don't?""But you always manage to keep your composure. How?"He understood where Tobias was coming from but last night alone had put this subject to be. He had been angry alright. So mad he almost turned his car back just to make certain he finished off the three guys that attacked him. Especially the guy that managed a punch in. But anger was the most pointless emotion to act on. It only ever ended up complicating things. "I guess being a god comes with it's perks." He joked instead.Tobias laughed. "A god who runs away from his powers. Quote the one."Elijah chuckled. "Okay, your turn now.""My turn?" His brow furrowed. "For what?""Why did you stay?""Why did I stay?" He repeated over again, until it finally clicked. "Oh you mean why I came back to find you?" "Yeah. You were almost caught in the fire to. Your loyalty to

Winnie Carter decided to work from home for the day. Her grandfather was in one of those moods, and she was the only one he could stand during these episodes.

She had decided it was best that way until at least she found out who the culprit was.But as Winnie typed furiously on her system, her mind was not at ease. She hadn't expected Elijah to call her, considering how the other night had ended, still, she felt ignored. She thought after a few days to himself, he would come around.

The gate to the warehouse glided down as Elijah stepped out, and walked to his car. He was about to open the door when his phone rang. Retrieving the phone from his pockets, he answered without checking who was calling. "Hello?"There was silence at the other end of the line for a couple of seconds. He was about to check the ID, when he heard her voice. "Hey."Again, Elijah felt his an uncomfortable thump in his heart. The same way it had been when he saw her picture earlier. He didn't,no couldn't get into what that meant now. If she was calling him after the other night, there was an issue. "Hey, Winnie. What's up?" She sighed in relief. "You answered.""You called." "I know. Just didn't expect you to answer.""Is there a reason you called me?" He asked, impatiently.She wanted to tell him she had missed hearing his voice. Not like he ever spoke much words, but she had missed it still. Instead, she chose her pride once again. "It's not for my sake, but my grandad.""Why?" H
