The atmosphere changed into anger and spite. Elijah could feel heated gazes burning holes on his face. "You monster," a friend of Alan spat. "I was there at the court. He's full of shit." Another said. "Ungrateful son-in-law. I wished he had died."Elijah clenched his jaws. Being reminded of his
Alan was sweating, like a pig. The numbers he saw didn't lie. A billion dollars was confirmed to be paid in the club's owners account. Elijah now owns the club. It was Alan's turn to fulfil his end of the bet. Party was over. Elijah's first order was to kick every one of Alan's friends out of the
The hunting rifle on the table was a testament to his father's words. "What did I do?" Alan asked even though he already knew. Alan's father approached him and punched him hard in the belly. Alan bent over and dropped on his knees, gagging in pains. "You still have the audacity to ask what you d
It was a brand new day. Elijah woke up and stretched his back. He went through his morning routine of exercises at the gym. For the first time in years, he slept well. He had dealt with Alan, Abigail and Wyatt brutally in less than a week. From his sources, Alan had been trying to reach out to El
"I bid $28 million," Scarface announced. Silence. No one said a thing. The Auctioneer, visibly nervous, carried on. "$28 million! Ladies and gentlemen—""$28.5 million," Elijah announced. "And 20 cent."The Auctioneer jaws dropped. He realized Elijah was making a jest of Scarface. Who was this ma
Elijah waited as they jumped out of their vehicles. They were armed and serious and dangerous. "What's the matter, folks?" Elijah asked, unfazed by their intimidating faces. One of the men stepped forward, sizing Elijah up. From his experience, he could tell Elijah was no ordinary man. "Scarface
Don Leo couldn't believe his ears. Arthur Smith was going to have dinner with him at Scarface's mansion?He stared at his phone, uncertain whether the call he just had was real. Of course he recognised the voice of Zenith. He had worked under the Smith family for thirty years not to know about the
Don Leo smiled. "And who is this stupid fella?"Scarface shrugged. "My men did some digging on him. I remember his name was Elijah or something."Don Leo stuttered. "D-did you just say Elijah?"Scarface nodded. "Yeah. The bastard was too cocky. Thinks he's a big shot. My men fixed him."Don Leo stif
It was a successful year for Smith Industries as they had expanded their innovation on renewable energy all across the globe. Elizabeth was the head of the project and it was due to her hard work and diligence the project kicked off successfully. At the height of the party, Elijah took the micro
Elijah glanced at his mother. "You want me to reveal our true identity to Elizabeth? Why?" "It's about time, Elijah," Regina Smith said. "I know you have your own plans but Elizabeth is my grandchild too. We've kept her too long in the dark. She must know the truth." Elijah flopped on the arm chai
Elijah thought about the best way to break the news to Sheila that he had adopted a son. Sam on the other hand was dazed. His new father owned a private jet. Just how rich is this man? He isn't an ordinary teacher. He must be someone more powerful than he had ever imagined. "Excuse me, Mr Thoma
Elijah was summoned into the director's office immediately Mr Big was rescued by the other orphanage staff. The first person Elijah saw was Lookmal, bruised and bandaged all over his body. Mr Big looked a sight. Elijah smiled. The other people in the office were some of the teaching and orphan
Elijah touched his face where he was slapped. "That was a mistake," Elijah said. "You have no idea who you just slapped." Mr Big sneered at him. "Oh, so you're a tough guy, huh? I like toughies like you. I'll make sure I soften you up." Elijah started rolling up his sleeves. "All I see in you is
Frank's face was as red as tomatoes after Sam finished slapping him on the face. Sam stopped and stepped away, glancing up at Elijah. "Mr Thomas, wouldn't that be enough? He's crying." Elijah leaned in. "You're right. His eyes are overflowing with tears." Frank, feeling helpless and defeated cri
Elijah had a morning class with the 6th grade Kids. While he taught, he kept a close eye on Sam. One of the kids were tossing paper balls at him. Elijah didn't say anything. He carried on as if nothing happened. As the lesson continued, the bullying continued behind Elijah's back. Elijah sto
"Why did you turn a blind eye to that boy?" Elijah asked as they left the class. Lookmal glanced at him. "What boy?" "The kid whom was obviously getting bullied," Elijah said. "Oh, him?" Lookmal shuddered. "Don't remind me of that kid. He gives me the horror. You saw him didn't you? He looks li
Elijah waited for General Viktor The Terrible to strike, but nothing happened. Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned into a month, but he heard nothing from General Viktor The Terrible. Daniel must've told his father everything that transpired between him and Arthur Smith. Knowing how powerfu
