Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 56
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

"Wait up Snow. What am I supposed to see?"He came out to find a table filled with breakfast. He cleaned his eyes with the back of his hands and blinked. Nothing disappeared. The table was still full, and Snow was waiting by the window."What's this about?" He asked, his voice dragging Snow away from the window. "You didn't come down on time, and now they're gone.""Snow, who is gone?" He asked, with one hand on his waist, and the other finger massaging his forehead."The guys I told you about? They were watching the house for over an hour." He explained."Why didn't you try your best to wake me?"But as he asked the question, and Snow wagged his tail, walking past him to the dining table, he knew he wasn't getting a response for such a foolish question. The dog did try its best to wake him up. It wasn't his fault he was navigating such gory dreams, no encounters."Are you hungry or not?" Snow took a brief break from the bone he was munching on to ask."Did you do all of this

"You're in the lab twice in one week. Please tell me you came to see her." Tobias said, coming out of the room behind the bookshelf.Elijah who had been pacing back and forth, stopped. "Did you put a stop to distributions like I told you?" He tapped his foot restlessly, his face devoured of even the tiniest hint of a smile.Elijah had come out of his house that morning, determined to stop whatever was being planned against his lab before it could escalate. He was halfway there when the news of the security and health department declaring the Crawford laboratory safe to open again was shared on the news. Between the former and the latter, he was agitated."I did. But why do you seem so troubled? It's not like anyone knows you own the lab producing these herbs." He said, peeling off the gloves in his hands, and replacing them with fresher ones."Did you hear the news?" He changed the trajectory of the conversation again.Tobias didn't answer immediately. Opening a drawer below one

"Elijah? Do you know who sent that?" Tobias touched his shoulders lightly.He shrugged his hands away, his frown deepening. "I have a pretty good idea.""Okay?""Dr Hill." He said."What?" Tobias moved back, shaking his head in disbelief."I was going to tell you this, but I almost forgot. The night I went to the Carter's for dinner, that wasn't the only place I went to that night.""You went to see Dr Hill." It was more a statement than a question."Yes I did. I got some pretty insightful informations.""No," Tobias shook his head, walking back to where he stood before. "You cannot let Dr Hill get to you. He's the most manipulative man I've ever known." He said, gathering the bottles to put them back into the drawer."I know. You don't have to tell me that. But he knows about me.""What?" He whipped his head up, unable to believe what he had just heard."Yeah. He's the one who placed Mum at the spot where you found her. He's been watching ever since.""So he knows about

The entrances to the Trust mansion were mounted by two hefty security officials guarding the ushers who checked the guests in. Since the fundraiser was always strictly by invite, to enter, you had to show the text you got.The whole process was quite annoying to many of the elites. Mostly because they were bidding for things with money that would end up going to charity. They didn't understand why anyone would sneak their way into the mansion just to spend money. It didn't help that a select few within these elites were never checked. They were the one percent of the City. No matter how rich one was, they could never outbid these guys. And everywhere, one person from the normal rich sector did try to flex their muscles. It always ended up in humiliation but never stopped another one from trying.The first of these one percent to arrive was Tiana Anderson, in the company of her daughters, Rhonda, and Laura Anderson.It had been three whole years since the last Trust fundraiser.

Winnie Carter draped in a red gown that had a cape train, held her head high as she stepped into the Trust fundraising room. With her hands securely linked in her grandfather's, they made their way to their table. She pretended not to her the gasps, and awes as they walked past each table. It was the reason she hated public events, which was quite strange, considering the fact she was a fashion showbiz girl. "Shouldn't we stop and greet a few people?" Her grandfather asked in a low, discreet voice."No please. I'm not in the mood." She said, forging ahead.It was only when they arrived at the Anderson's table just behind theirs, they finally paused. "You look gorgeous my lady." Nathan Luxe wasted no time in taking Winnie's unlinked arms into his. Raising it to his lip, he planted a soft kiss on it."You look dashing yourself Nathan." She said her voice devoid of any special emotions.As her grandfather exchanged greetings with Nathan, her eyes trailed towards Kingston who had

"I can't believe that bastard is here. Who invited him?" Tiana said, unable to hide her disdain."Mum please not now." Rhonda reached for her mum's hands, but she retrieved them from the table and threw her face away."Mum is right, Rhonda. That disgusting pig shouldn't be anywhere near civilization, and civilized people." Laura spat."God! He's even coming over." Tiana's veins popped, as Elijah drew closer to them.He had taken his time to scan the crowd. When he found Dr Hill, the man who invited him, he didn't waste any more time going to him. The numerous pairs of eyes staring at him didn't phase him either. He knew he wasn't part of this world. This high society when everyone raises their noses at people like him. Judging a life they knew nothing about by its surface. Regardless, he wasn't deterred. Like always, there were more important things to focus on.He arrived at Dr Hill's table, and the older man welcomed him with a smile. "You came." He said, stretching out his ha
