Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 49
Elijah straightened his back. This was his opportunity now. But he wasn't sure how to go about it. Firstly, he didn't want to appear desperate. "I did what I had to do to save a life. I would have done it for anyone. You don't have to pay me back." He said, but in his heart, he waited. Men like Mr Carter didn't like to owe debts. He was banking on that."We're both men. You and I know it's impossible not to show you my gratitude. I don't know if my granddaughter has told you, but I usually don't stop until I get what I want.""I recall her saying something like that." He nodded, sending a glance her way.The pity was nowhere to be found. She was smiling now. Another thing Winnie Carter knew how to do all too well. Her eyes sparkled every time she smiled. He kept ignoring the warning voices in his head. Telling him he was getting too deep into dangerous territories. Just for one night, he wanted to hold on to something. Only for this night. "Good! If you want to think about it,

Elijah walked out of the Carter mansion, feeling on edge. His hands deep in his pockets, folded into a fist, as he walked to his car. "If you want Elijah, I can open up a hospital for you. Your gifts of healing shouldn't go unnoticed." The old man had said, when he went to tell him he was leaving.It wasn't supposed to upset him. To be honest, it was a genuine desire to help. But between his tense conversation with Winnie, and the words of her grandpa, he was taken down a dark hole. A place where he was reminded that with all the powers he possessed, he wasn't able to save his father. Was barely even close to saving his mother. And with that realization came an anger that burned. He needed to let it out, else, it would consume him. With determinated etched in the wrinkled lines that spread across his forehead, he drove out of the mansion, and headed for Crestview medical center.His mind was faraway from the road as he sped to the center. It was more on the doctors audacity in t

"Elijah!" Crowley called, running after him."What do you want Crowley?" He asked, with his hands on the entrance door."Dr Hill asked me to escort you to his study.""Really? Why'd you have to make a big show out there then?" "You threatened my man.""He attacked me first." Elijah shrugged in defense."Who are you, Elijah?" Crowley's face contorted with confusion. He had never seen someone fight so effortlessly. If he didn't know him as a nobody once married to a rich woman, he would have sworn he was a battle expert. "A nobody," Elijah said, opening the door.The small door gave way to a large room with a staircase demarcating both sides of the room. On the very top step stood Dr Hill, lips curved into a sly smile. "Elijah! Welcome to my home." Elijah took a step in, and then another. "Dr Hill." He said."Please, come with me." The older man said, turning around.Elijah climbed up the stairs, following Dr Hill into a room. The moment he stepped foot into the room, nosta

"I've been watching you for years lay low by the beautiful Rhonda's side while building connections amongst the elites of this city," He said, standing to his feet. "Who do you think saved your precious mother from the fire? Tobias?" He laughed.Elijah still with his back turned to him, presssed his fingers hard against each other. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. There was no way Dr Hill saved his mother. Truthfully, when Tobias had contacted him weeks after the incident about finding his mother's unconscious body behind the building, he had wondered how she got there. They both had. But it was quickly chucked to the side, their focus turning to finding the herbs to cure her. "You're lying." His voice came out more steady than he had expected."What would I gain from doing that?""You expect me to believe you just so magically happened to be around the building when it went up in flames? You rushed in to save my mother? What do you take me for?" He turned around, thick v

Under the scorching heat of the day, a black jeep pulled over the Luxe beach hut. Its doors slid open, and Colin Trust emerged. His hands went into his pockets, as he took a few seconds to soak in the waves. Dressed in all white, with the only other colors on him being his dark shades and jet-black hair, he looked every inch the heartthrob he was. He had been gone from Quantum City for so long, that his absence created a void in the dating scene. Now the party animal was back, and the first was doing the same for the silver eyes beauty. However, the crafty businessman wasn't here for pleasure today. Nathan Luxe had asked to meet here discreetly, and he couldn't deny the fact he was curious to know what the man who almost took over his bank many years ago had to say to him. Of course that was all in the past now. He and Nathan shared an understanding of some sort, despite the age gap. Regardless of these facts, one couldn't be too trusting of a man like Nathan Luxe.He couldn't help

"You'll find out there's more to him than meet the eyes," Nathan said in a low, raging voice."That's a challenge I'm up for," He filled his glasses again and reclined into his seat. "But I'm guessing that's not why you called me out today. What's up?" "You're right," He straightened up, pushing the thoughts of Elijah aside. "I wanted to discuss our recent meeting. I have a few things I need to get off my chest.""Like?" He raised a fine brow."Dr Hill.""Hmmm," He nodded. "What about the doctor?""Do you ever think he's hiding something? Like why he kept hammering on the Crawford family?""Yeah, I noticed too. He was a little bit obsessed with knowing what went down that night. Which I found strange. I mean wasn't it his hospital the bodies of the couple were taken to? He declared them dead right? He also went to the scene of the incident to ensure no one else survived. I wonder why he's still so obsessed with that night.""Because he knows something we don't. He kept insis

"Who were you just talking to?" Tiana Anderson intercepted her daughter in the living room.Rhonda sighed. "Nathan Luxe."Tiana's face instantly lit up. "Come with me my darling. Come tell me everything you two discussed." She held Rhonda by her shoulders, moving her to the dining area where her sister, Laura was seated."You're not going to work today, Laura?" Rhonda asked when she saw her sister scrolling through her phone."Nope. I've decided to work remotely today." She said, not bothering to look up."That's impossible. You can't work a job like yours from home." Rhonda said, sitting across from her. "Mum tell Rhonda to stop bothering me please." She said, her eyes still fixed on her phone."Let her be," Tiana took the seat beside her. "Let's talk about Nathan Luxe. What did he say?" She asked with a voice filled with curiosity.For a brief second, Rhonda wondered why she was this invested. Then she remembered how obsessed her mother was with that family. If she could, s

Buried between crisp linings, with his head on a soft white pillow facing his ceiling, Elijah dreamt. His dream took place in a different time. A different era. When men and beasts had much more in common. In those times, no one hid behind the facades of a well-tailored three-piece suit, and their expensive cars. Blood, sweat, and tears were the order of the day.Elijah saw himself in the middle of a vast battlefield. Clad in full armor and helmet, with his shield and spear firmly in his hands. The land was barren as far as he could see. The clouds were thick with thunderstorms. He didn't know why he was there. There wasn't a battle to be fought. However, every time he tried to take a step, he couldn't move. He found himself rooted to the same spot he had been. Suddenly, thick smoke began to sweep through the field. It became impossible to see. He covered his face with the shield, and then he could see. Even far beyond what was possible. He saw the flag of the enemy. It waved thro
