Chapter Eighty Six In the elegant office of the bank manager, the atmosphere was tense as Henry’s grandfather, a seasoned and respectable grandfather, stood before the impeccably dressed financial expert. His face was flushed with anger, and his hands trembled slightly as he gripped the edge of the manager's desk."Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" he bellowed, his voice resonating through the room. "You're telling me my grandson, Henry, spent 10 million dollars in Las Vegas without a reasonable explanation? What kind of nonsense is this?"The bank manager, Mr. Peterson maintained his composed demeanour, but there was an underlying unease in his eyes. "I understand your frustration, Grandmaster" he replied, trying to pacify the agitated grandfather. "We've been trying to reach him, but he's been unresponsive. It's imperative that we address this matter promptly."Henry’s grandfather paced back and forth in the manager's office, his mind racing with concern and worry for his grands
Chapter Eighty Seven In a lavish and executive boardroom, the long mahogany table was adorned with crystal glasses and fine china, befitting the occasion of the highly anticipated business meeting. The air was charged with tension, as the mafia boss, Elijah "The Boss" Elijah, sat at the head of the table, exuding an aura of power and authority. His piercing eyes surveyed the room, his every move calculated, and his every word measured. To his right, the state governor, John Anderson, appeared composed but with a hint of anxiety, knowing the implications of the meeting could reshape the course of their respective futures.The governor cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had engulfed the room.

Chapter Eighty Eight In a dimly lit large study tucked away in the heart of a sprawling mansion, Roberto, the Godfather of one of the most powerful mafia families, sat behind an intricately carved wooden desk. His stern face betrayed little emotion as he carefully observed the man standing before him, Elijah, his trusted and loyal mafia Boss.Roberto's deep voice resonated through the room as he spoke, "Elijah, my dear friend, the time has come for us to make a bold move against our enemies.

Chapter Eighty Nine “2 weeks ,3 days and 21 hours was the last time Elijah was home and he didn't even call me” Selena sighed sadly while looking at the mirror and dressing for work. Her family disowned her and took away her credit card so she now takes care of herself and she magically got lucky because she was paid 20,000 monthly. It was suspiciously high but then she didn't think too much about it because the work can get really tiring and hard. Selena, who now became a kind-hearted nurse assistant, cherished every moment she had to spare from her duties at the clinic. And whenever she found free time, she would rush to spend it with her closest confidante, Felix. They were inseparable, sharing countless laughs and creating unforgettable memories together.The two friends had known each other since childhood, and their bond had only grown stronger over the years. Selena found solace in Felix's company, especially when she needed to escape the stress of her job as a nurse assista
Chapter Ninety Tears streamed down her cheeks, and the weight of her emotions became too much to bear. "Maybe I should just kill myself," she whispered softly, her voice barely audible in the somber silence.As she uttered those haunting words, the pain in her heart intensified. Her mind raced with self-doubt, questioning her worth and abilities. It seemed like the world had turned its back on her, leaving her stranded in a sea of disappointment.Just as she was drowning in her sorrow, a sudden commotion at the front door startled her. Her younger sister, Nicki, barged into the house, a mocking smirk plastered across her face. Nicki had always been the golden child, effortlessly excelling in everything she set her mind to. The stark contrast between their achievements only deepened Selena's anguish."Look at you, Selena," Nicki sneered, a venomous edge to her voice. "All those dreams of becoming a doctor, and you couldn't even get accepted into a single medical school. What a dumb gi
Chapter Ninety OneSelena's imagination raced as she heard the sound again, this time more distinct. It seemed like footsteps, but her rational mind quickly dismissed it as mere creaks from the old house settling. Yet, a sense of unease began to creep into her thoughts, and her once comfortable sanctuary now felt like an eerie place.She tried to brush off the feeling, attributing it to the atmospheric storytelling of her novel. However, with each passing minute, the paranoia grew stronger. Her eyes darted around the dimly lit room, and she couldn't shake the sensation of being watched. Shadows danced on the walls, twisting and contorting into monstrous forms.A chill ran down Selena's spine as she convinced herself that it was her own overactive imagination playing tricks on her. She stood up and cautiously tiptoed through the house, checking every corner and room, assuring herself that there was nothing to fear. The creaks and groans of the house heightened her anxiety, making her
Chapter Ninety Two Elijah's heart pounded against his chest as he watched in disbelief. His eyes widened, and his mind couldn't fathom the scene unfolding before him. There she was, his wife, dancing so effortlessly with a complete stranger. A rush of mixed emotions surged through him, and he knew he had to intervene.Determined to drag her away from the enigmatic stranger, Elijah took a deep breath and moved through the crowd, his strides purposeful and anxious. He reached out to touch her shoulder gently, intending to lead her away discreetly. But as his hand grazed her skin, he felt a sudden jolt of electricity, causing him to recoil in surprise.His wife turned to him, her eyes glinting with mischief and a hint of defiance. Before he could utter a word, she reached for a nearby glass filled with crimson wine and, without warning, poured it over him. Shocked and soaked, Elijah stood there, his clothes drenched, and a perplexed expression on his face."Why did you do that?" he as
Chapter Ninety ThreeElijah and Selena swayed gracefully on the dance floor, their bodies moving in sync with the rhythmic melody that filled the air. The soft glow of twinkling lights adorned the venue, casting a romantic ambiance over the scene. As they danced, Selena noticed a slight tension in Elijah's expression, a hint of discomfort flickering in his eyes."Darling, is everything alright?" Selena inquired, her voice filled with concern as she met Elijah's gaze.He let out a soft, almost imperceptible moan, and a blush crept up his cheeks. "Um, yeah, it's just…" Elijah trailed off, looking away for a moment, as if contemplating how to express his feelings.Curiosity piqued, Selena placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Tell me, Elijah. You can share anything with me," she encouraged.He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before he continued, "It's just that… there's a bulge in my trousers, and it's a bit uncomfortable when we dance like this."A mix of surprise and amusement
