"That's for me to know and for you to not worry yourself over. Just get in the car" Elijah replied. The woman complied and entered the car, watching Elijah close the door and walk past the front of the vehicle, heading to the driver's seat. Elijah opened the door, climbed in, wore his seat belt, and asked the woman, "What's your name?" "Diane." The woman answered. “Okay, I’m taking you somewhere to eat. Is that okay?” Elijah asked. After the woman nodded in response to his question, he returned his focus to the steering wheel, started the car, and drove away. Elijah had heard when the rude man complained of Diane spilling her food on him, so he changed his plans of going to the office and drove them to his restaurant instead.When they arrived at EM Restaurant, Elijah got out of the car and helped Diane out, and the both of them walked into the restaurant, with Elijah heading straight to his usual spot. He pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit. As she did, Elijah beckoned

After attempting to swallow a few bites of his lunch, Elijah gave up and decided to head over to the office. He took out his wallet from his pocket, and placed a couple of bills on the table without counting them, then slipped his fingers into his wallet, and pulled out some more bills, sliding them over to Diane. He stood up from the chair and met Diane's face which carried a confused expression."I'm sorry Diane, but I have to leave right now. I paid for the food, and that's some extra change for you. Until we meet again." “Thank you so much for this,” Diane replied, reaching out to take his hand and holding it in hers. “I meant what I said earlier, I might not have the connections or anything at all that a wealthy man like you would need, but I promise you that whatever you need that is within my power to give, I will offer it to you.”Elijah smiled and nodded his head and Diane let go of his hand. He turned away and walked out of the restaurant thinking of what she had said. ‘May

Keep your eyes open, keep your ears pricked, and keep looking behind you, because one day……..I will find you. Elijah read the text a second time. "Is this a joke?""What's that?" Vicky asked. "It's nothing." Elijah shook his head and returned to what he intended to do when he took up his phone. He found Alan's number and dialed it, listening to it ring. Alan was corrupt and dirty, which was a well-known trait of his, but there was one thing he feared the most, and Elijah planned to take advantage of it. Elijah rarely played dirty, but he did so whenever he thought it was necessary, especially in instances when people tried to get in his way and to be honest, a part of him enjoyed it. Elijah was proud of his friend's integrity during times like these. Marcus had the information of a lot of people capable of destroying homes, businesses, and lives, yet he never used it.Finally, a click was heard on the other end, indicating that Alan had accepted his call."Elijah," his voice sounde

"What the hell?" "What are you saying?""I did not stutter. If there is something wrong with your hearing, then listen again. Empty your pockets." "And I will do no such thing. Are you calling me a thief?""Yes." Elijah laughed. "Is this a joke? Do you know who you are speaking to?" "Do I look like I give a rat shit? Am I supposed to respect you or something? You think too highly of yourself. Besides, don't you know the expression, "dress as you want to be addressed?" If you didn't want to come across as a low-life, then you shouldn't have worn a hoodie and joggers, looking like a teenage junkie.""This is ridiculous. I will not have you speak to me in that manner. First, you accuse me of stealing, and now you insult me for no good reason." Elijah turned away to walk out of the store, but the lady blocked his path again. Elijah, irritated, raised his hands in the air and yelled. "For the love of God!"He sighed and thought about the lady's remark. Maybe he should put an effort int
The Son-in-law's Revenge Chapter 26
Elijah sat in a recliner chair on his private jet, staring out the airplane window, wondering what Connecticut had in store for him. He would have been delighted to visit Lucas on any other day, but today was different. This was all about Clara. The woman who had diverted his father's attention from his other children. Nobody knew how or why, but she had transformed John into a shadow of himself, till the day he died. Elijah and Clara made each other uncomfortable and they never hid their dislike for one another. Immediately after John's death, Elijah lingered more around Lucas, but it was different for Cora. Lucas had repeatedly tried to keep Cora in Clara's care because he felt she needed a mother figure in her life, but Cora always stayed away, not like Clara had even tried to pull her close to herself either. Cora was different, and everyone could tell. She didn't dress like a goth or emo, but she was strangely different from the inside. Maybe it was because she was the one who w
The Son-in-law's Revenge Chapter Twenty-Seven
Clara Morris, the woman who had driven John to an early grave, stood at the door. Her slim figure and model-like shape contained the entryway, still having enough space for her twin sons, Alex and Austin who were younger than Cora, to stand tall on each side of her. Every waking day following their marriage, she had reminded John of how less he was as a man, just because he was at the lowest point in his life where he grieved his beloved late wife. She repeatedly blamed his drinking on the fateful night that brought them together. She hurled insults and curses at him at every turn driving John even deeper into bottles. Elijah watched her catwalk into the room, heading for the available sofa opposite Lucas. Then, one of her sons sat on an armrest, and the other sat in a chair next to her, his eye on the driver who was still standing behind Elijah's chair. The driver looked at Elijah, waiting for his order, and Elijah signaled for him to give the second bag to Clara. He walked over to

Bianca Gardini Harkins was written in bold font on Clara's invite list. ‘This has to be a coincidence, right?’ Elijah questioned himself, as his eyes searched for the other name, and there it was, waiting to be seen- Fred Harkins. ‘The fuck!’ These were the words that screamed in Elijah’s mind. Clara had invited Bianca and Fred to his home. He tried to remember if he had ever seen an article or anything at all that could have indicated that Clara, Bianca, and Fred knew each other, but his mind came up blank. It couldn’t have been business because they all ran different businesses in two different countries. Maybe it was just a coincidence, Elijah thought to himself as he breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back. His hands reached to loosen his tie's grip on his neck and he lost interest to continue scrolling through Clara's list. Elijah decided to hand the iPad back to Alex, who was still standing near him, likely waiting for him to finish so he could take the device to Lu

Lucas mansion has a large hall where the charity event was hosted. The hall was decorated to perfection, the music- the volume and songs being played were amazing and soothing and every other thing had been done exactly as Clara wanted it. While people had been going up and about trying to arrange, Elijah went in and out of the hall and he secretly commended Clara. If there was one thing he admired about her, she could host events, which always ended up as the talk of the town for months, with others attempting to emulate her style for their next event. He couldn't understand why she was so focused on running his father's company when she was capable of running a profitable event planning company. Elijah hesitated at the handle of his room door. He had been at Lucas' house for three days and had tried every trick in his book to avoid attending the event, but none of them worked, and Cora had made matters worse, by pleading with him to stay, insisting that he would keep her sane amid

Elijah and Cora glanced at the face of the woman they had not seen since the fatherless charity function. Clara, clothed in fur in this heat wave, her lips were crimson red, stood in between her sons, as usual. "You both are just staring at me like it's the first time you are using your eyes properly," Clara said. She turned to look into the glass window that Elijah had been staring through before she came in. "So what's the situation?" Elijah and Cora did not respond, the only sound that filled the silence was the shuffling feet of nurses and doctors going in and out of patient wards. "Have you both suddenly gone deaf?" Clara asked. Elijah gritted his teeth and stepped away from the glass, moving closer to Cora. "Why are you here Clara?" "The last time I checked I am still family, and that old man laying right there," Clara said, pointing at Lucas, "is still my father-in-law." "No one wants you here.""Oh, I can see that. But I am not going anywhere. Besides Lucas, I'm the secon

When Cora heard Elijah's voice, She turned towards the arms of her brother and buried her face in his chest. The tall gene was in the family and it had not passed her by. When the average height of ladies barely reached Elijah's shoulders, Cora's head went past it a bit. Elijah wrapped his arms around Cora and tried to calm her down, whispering sweet nothings and promises that everything would be back to normal in no time, in her ears. He knew he shouldn't be giving her these kinds of promises, definitely not when he didn't even understand what his eyes had just seen behind the glass windowCora eventually relaxed, and Elijah pulled her body away from his slightly, so he could look into her eyes. "Now Cora, take a deep breath and walk me through what happened to Lucas." "Elijah, Grandpa is in a coma." "Well that explains why he is currently looking like that, in a hospital bed, but it doesn't explain what happened to him. Do you know what happened?"Cora nodded in response to his q

"What is going on? That's Grandpa's hospital." "Just come, as soon as you can," Cora replied and hung up. Elijah put his phone back into his pocket and Kira asked, "What's wrong?" "I don't know. That was my sister and she told me to get to Connecticut, to our family hospital right this moment.""But that's not possible, you can't. Give me a moment, let me see how fast I can book a flight for you." Kira said, grabbing her laptop that was on a table, closest to her."Huh? What are you doing?" Elijah stared at Kira in confusion. "Booking a flight for you. You know, that thing that you would need to get yourself from here all the way to Connecticut." Despite feeling shocked after Cora's call, Elijah chuckled at Kira. "I have a private jet, Kira." "What? You…you have a what!?""A private jet.""I heard you the first time. Okay, I knew you were rich, but I didn't realize that you are rich enough to own a jet." "Well, I believe that from today you will know me better, and I, you." El

Within a few minutes, Elijah was banging on Kira's door, demanding that she open up and let him in. The minutes counted and it appeared like it was taking forever, so he banged on the door a few more times, and shouted, "Kira, open up.""For Christ's sake, will you calm down, I said I was coming." She shouted back as she opened the door for him to enter. "What's going on?" Elijah asked."I should be the one asking you that. You demanded that I send my address and then you came over here trying to wake the entire neighborhood up. Did you change your drug supplier?""I don't do drugs, and I don't understand. I heard you sniffing on the phone." "And so you hurried here because you thought I was crying?" Kira looked confused."Were you not?""I was. But that's not the point right now. I'm saying that you hurried down here because you thought I was crying?" Elijah rocked on his feet, his actions just now dawning on him. Kira chuckled. "Elijah, I'm no damsel in distress, or at least I'm

"And I…am not mincing words.""I'll love to see you try Fred.""Oh, you asked for it, Elijah. What ye seek, ye shall find."Elijah watched Fred laugh as he walked backward, away from him. His eyes remained trained on him until Fred and his men cleared out of his sight. Elijah's teeth clenched together and his nose flared as he took in the situation of the site and his workers. "I'm very sorry everyone. I deeply apologize for all that has happened today. Please let us all go home and I promise that Vicky will settle you for all your troubles. Thank you very much." Elijah shouted, so that everyone could hear him loud and clear, and a couple of people echoed "Thank you, sir."Then he turned to Vicky, who wore an angry expression."This is the second time you have been caught in a crossfire Vicky, and I'm sincerely sorry. I have put you in harm's way twice, and I will understand if you want to walk away from all of this."Vicky's shoulders seemed to relax as Elijah spoke. She nodded soft

Elijah's POVAfter his dinner with Kira, Elijah locked himself in a hotel room with a redhead. One of the flings that he had set aside when he found satisfaction with Mia. They had been going at it all night and day, for two days now, and each time, Elijah had pushed away the thoughts and images of a certain woman out of his mind. He had not intended to end his dinner night with Kira in the arms of another woman, but he got restless immediately after he got back home. His body desired a particular person that they couldn't have, and so the best solution for him had been to bury himself in another woman's arms. Elijah never understood his burning need to be intimate with a woman after Bianca. He had concluded that it could be because she had denied him intimacy during the years that they were married while she was freely giving it to that older-looking man. Elijah was lying on his back, about to drift off into sleep, when he felt the light touch of a lady's hand slowly crawling up h

Kira's POVKira was driving to pick up Ian from the airport, and she was reminiscing about her dinner with Elijah two nights before. She was attracted to him in a kind of way, but being in a relationship was not a top priority for her, especially not with a man with mystery and trouble written all over. She assumed Elijah felt the same way because he would flirt with her one moment and then become serious the next. He had told her that they would devise a plan and work toward it, and she was okay with that idea as long as it destroyed Fred. She had ideas of her own, but she wanted to listen to what Elijah would come up with.Kira longed to know why Elijah was after Fred, but she doubted he would open up to her easily because she saw him as an onion with multiple layers. Kira was finally at the airport and she saw her brother standing outside, scanning the area, possibly looking for her car. She drove up in front of him, came to a halt, and rolled down the window. "Hey big bro, get i

Elijah was seated in his restaurant, waiting for Kira. After the call, he texted her that they should meet at EM Restaurant, and it surprised him that he was feeling nervous about seeing a woman. Elijah looked up from his table to see Kira approaching him in a black body con dress and black stilettos, her burgundy hair adding color to her outfit. As she approached, he rose from the chair and went to pull out a chair for her to sit on. "Oh wow. Thank you. You are quite the gentleman." Kira stated this while gushing at him, her hand on her chest. Elijah chuckled because he knew she was just trying to mock him. "You are five minutes late." "Just five minutes? That's not even enough payback for ignoring my calls." Kira scoffed."I thought we spoke about this." "And…? Because I'm so sweet and nice, I should not bring it up anymore?" "Okay. I apologize again." Elijah said this with his hands raised in surrender. "I'm genuinely sorry and it will not happen again.""It had better not."

Elijah's POVElijah was walking out of the apartment he had rented for Dylan. It was close to Dylan's school and more comfortable than the small space he had to share with three other boys his age. Elijah had gone to visit him and the place looked uncomfortable to live in.Dylan was supposed to meet him at the apartment, but he had called to say that he would be late because he had to meet up with his group for a project, so Elijah decided to take a quick walk around the neighborhood for a short time. His phone rang from his pocket, and when he pulled it out he saw "Kira's" name displayed on the screen. He locked his phone and returned it to his pocket. Today marked the seventh time in five days that he had ignored Kira's call. He did not want to speak to her until Marcus found concrete evidence on her that he would use against her and tell her that he knew all about her plan to betray him. His guard was up, and he was not about to let those walls down anytime soon, especially not f
