Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 71
FLASHBACKELIJAH"Lewis, let's find Green," I said, walking out of the room.I didn't care if I had to speak to every walking thing in the room. Not even about the hours I was about to invest in finding him. Because something was wrong somewhere.I walked into a half-empty bar to my surprise. Lewis and I had barely spent twenty minutes in the room. If I remember vividly, it was an overpacked house when I left with him. All of a sudden, I was staring at gloomy faces. The first man I approached was buried in a bottle labeled V. I tapped his shoulders, and my hands went through. This was still a fresh ghost."Hey, man." I tilted my head to the side in greeting.He froze when he raised his head. Suddenly, everyone else turned to me. I looked around, watching their disgusted face as they looked at me."Hey guys." I waved a nervous hand.I was usually welcomed in the bar. Not even withstanding the dirty looks I had gotten lately. However, this was different. They looked like they w

FLASHBACKELIJAHI stayed up late contemplating if I should go or not. First Lewis, and now the strange girl. Could it be a set-up? There was just so much unclarity. Everyone said I should trust my instincts. It was telling me right now that I should stay back. But if I do, I may never find out what happened to Green, or where the hell he was."I should go," I muttered to myself. Grabbing my keys, I ran out and headed straight for the bar. I had never been to the bar in the day. I didn't know what to expect, considering the fact its location was at a spot usually occupied during the day.When I arrived at that particular spot, I found a little bit of construction work going on just a few meters ahead. I stopped to consider my options. It could get weird, and dangerous fast if someone saw me opening a covered drainage that led down an underground building. Imagine they followed me? I was still contemplating when I suddenly felt someone's presence behind me. It was just the third

FLASHBACKELIJAH"What the hell is going on here!" I struggled to say, despite the tightness in my chest. "We caught the thief, and now it's time to punish him." Asher shrugged."If Green stole anything, then I can vouch it was with good reasons." I defended him, but deep down, I was curious. He had acted like he knew nothing about the missing souls the last time I saw him. If he did commit this crime, it would be hard to prove to people hell-bent on punishing him he had no malicious intent."Oh is it now?" Asher chuckled. "Lewis, let the man go. I have a few questions to ask." He ordered and walked over to the two men."Don't you dare hurt him!" I tried too move, but my body's motion was frozen.Asher spared me a quick disgusted glance. But as quickly as the disgust formed, it disappeared and was replaced by an amused gleam in his eyes. "Maybe one day you'll learn I don't take orders from anyone. Especially not from you." He scoffed mockingly and turned to Green."Please,

FLASHBACKELIJAHI had been played. Several years of loving someone gone into flames. Everyone was right, and once again, I was wrong. I had given Blue my soul. She held my life in her hands. What had she done? Crushed it right in front of me. I staggered, and almost lost my footing. Lewis chuckled, and my shame was complete."That's enough baby," Asher murmured across her lip, as he pulled away."Elijah, leave." Green pleaded again, but I couldn't bring myself to.It was in my nature to know why I had been betrayed. I couldn't think of anything bad I had done to deserve this kind of betrayal. "I know you're wondering why all this is happening," Asher said as if reading my thoughts."Why?" My breathless voice was directed at Blue, who was looking straight at me without any hint of shame. Rather, her shoulders rose with pride."Because playing the long game has always been better. My darling here has always been my eyes. Through her, I watched you. Studied the so-called god of

NOWElijah felt a firm hand on his shoulders. He turned to his side, but instead of being on the floor, breathing heavily while Cleo and Green drank away, he found Dr Hill staring at him. "Elijah?" The older man called.He blinked, only now realizing he was in the present."That's his name? Elijah." He whipped his head around so fast, it created a dizzying effect. She was in front of him with her hands outstretched. He couldn't believe his eyes. The pretense? How could she act like they were strangers?"You do know it's rude to keep someone's hands hanging right? She's been in the same position for a few minutes now, and all you're doing is staring like a dehydrated frog. Anyway, it's what the hosts get for inviting the trash alongside sane people." Tiana hisses, her voice dripping with bile.Rhonda moved her mouth to speak but was quickly silenced by her sister's hands pressing firmly on hers. "Don't you dare defend him?" She mouthed.To everyone's surprise, it was Colin Trus

"I agree with Mr Carter. If this fundraiser is not going to be starting soon, you may as well let us know now." Tiana who couldn't take one more second of yet another one of her potential in-laws doting on Winnie Carter whined."I agree with my mum and Mr Carter too," Laura added. She couldn't stand this behavior anymore. She thought she had something with Colin. She had waited for three whole years for his return, so they could rehash that wonderful night she couldn't stop dreaming about. Yet, here he was, flirting openly with Winnie Carter. The worst part was not just the flirting, but that she respected Winnie Carter too much to even be mad at her."I wanted to say hello to the Luxes, but I guess I'll do that after?" Avery directed to Nathan."Sure thing darling. Anything you want." He said, returning her smile with a lewd one of his.Elijah found the exchange quite amusing. They were both crappy people, so he didn't mind if they went to hell together. The duo returned to the

Dr Hill instantly took charge, ordering everyone to step back. Elijah watched on, curious to see the doctor at work. He crouched, raising Nathan's hands to check his pulse. A sign of relief washed through him. He quickly placed his hands on his chest and began giving him CPR. "Someone call the hospital fast." He yelled behind his shoulders. Everyone began struggling to get their phones out. Elijah couldn't help the smirk on his face. While medically, that was the right thing to do, he knew deep down Dr. Hill was wasting his time. He wasn't going to wake up like that. What he needed was to inhale one of those strong-smelling herbs he had nicely stashed away in his laboratory. That was all. Regardless, he enjoyed watching everyone scramble to try and save the asshole. If it was just him, Nathan Luxe would be in real trouble right now. "He's not responding to CPR doctor. Is he dead!" Someone screamed from the crowd, and panic began anew. "He's not dead, please calm down!" Dr Hill tr
Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 78
Elijah rose to his feet, amidst the cheerful celebrations around him. "Oh My God! How did he do that?" One person asked. In his head as he walked out of the spot everyone was gathering to see if Nathan was truly awake, he answered. "A dog can sniff out the strong stench of a fox." "How did he know a scent like hers would work?" Again, he answered in his mind. "A dog, and a fox." He didn't stop as he successfully walked out of the clearing. Instead, he kept on working away, determined to get out of the room as he was over everything already. Avery made to follow him, but she was stopped by a strong hand on hers. She turned to see her cousin staring curiously at her. "We need to talk." He said, before walking back to the center stage. Her eyes followed Elijah's until he disappeared out of the room. She only turned away when Colin began making an announcement. An announcement which coincided with the arrival of the emergency ambulance. "Sorry about the chaos. Unfortunately, we'l
