Mrs. Greene blinked perceptively, hoping she had heard Elijah wrongly. It was now or never for Elijah. His guts tied into a knot, as he stared at Mrs. Greene.

He perceived a hunch that his card could be with anyone from the Greene mansion, however, time was not on his side neither was it on Bishop Leo’s.

“What did you just say to me?” Mrs. Greene questioned the audacity of Elijah to walk up to her and beg for her hard-earned money. She restrained herself from letting out her anger in front of her guests and tried to play cool with it.

Elijah squeezed his words, forcing them out of his lungs, “I want you to lend me one million… dollars… I … will pay you back,” he said, shifting his gaze from Mrs. Greene to the floor.

The party was still active, as Elijah only spoke directly to Mrs. Greene without creating any ruckus. However, it was soon to end. Daniel immediately charged at Elijah and thrust his fist into Elijah’s face.

At this moment, the party came to a halt. Murmurs and i

    “Where in fuck’s name has he gone to now,” Daniel said with his hand around his waist, walking to and fro the living room. It has been two days since the horrific event of Mrs. Greene’s birthday and the tragedy of Bishop Leo’s passing. The anger of the Greene mansion shifted on Haylee, for not divorcing her husband sooner. Dorothy, even, was not left out in the mouth trashing of Haylee, leaving Haylee all alone by herself. “When will we be rid of such a menace in our midst?” Dorothy mumbled, peeping at Haylee with the side of her eye, as everyone settled in the living room. “Only if someone had chosen to listen all this while,” Tori said with a sneer.Mrs. Greene remained seated and calm in her seat, but within her was a storm that couldn’t be calmed. She wanted Elijah to leave her mansion, not new. But this time, she desired it more than anything else. Getting rid of him permanently was the thought that came to her mind, until Daniel said it out. “I will kill h

    “Let go of her,” Dorothy cried and hurried toward Daniel. Daniel was not ready to release his hold of Haylee’s neck like a predator determined to break the neck of its prey. “You… b-bastard…” Haylee stuttered, choking from Daniel’s monstrous hold.Nobody seemed strong enough to overcome Daniel’s physicality, but Mrs. Greene did not need muscles to put a halt to Daniel’s madness. “Are you out of your mind?” Mrs. Greene scolded Daniel, as she brought him back to his senses with multiple slaps that sparked a blast in Daniel’s ears. Daniel’s face was laced with fear and despair for what Mrs. Greene would do to him, and also, for his irrevocable action. And yet, it bore anger toward Haylee, believing it was all her fault. “What is this madness, Daniel?” Mrs. Greene questioned as her eyes became reddened, but concealed her broken heart toward the crumble of her family.Daniel held his cheek as he massaged Mrs. Greene’s slap. His breathing increased, “Grandmother…” he lost trac

    “Leo is dead,” Elijah answered with his voice sedated. After a minute of pondering, he recognized the voice, or maybe he thought he did.There was a brief stint of silence on the other end of the phone, keeping Elijah in confusion as to the true identity of the caller. “I am sorry about that, Elijah,” the voice said, “can we meet?”Elijah took the phone away from his ear, uncertain of the nature of the cryptic call, “The big bad wolf has a lasting appetite…” “Because he never finds his meal.”Elijah gained the assurance he needed to confirm the person’s identity. It was Rich Morgan, his father’s friend, although younger but wise. Elijah posed the sentence about a made-up story Rich told him about a wolf and a hare. It was the only way he thought he could authenticate the identity of the caller, the story of a wolf who never got hold of the hare each time he tried. Elijah's lips curled into a smile, and he dropped the cigar on the table. Returning to the Greene mansion

    Richard sucked his lips, and lowered his head, disappointed at Elijah’s response. “Think about it very well, this is not something that would come again. Leonard was aware of the dangers and how much it meant to you, yet he still chose to go ahead on that path. Don’t you think you have to make his death worthwhile?” Elijah sniffled, with his eyes darting around the bar, his senses awoken to the possibilities of any threat in his vicinity. “Leo was the end of the bloodshed. I do not wish for any other person to take any risk for me,” Elijah answered, weighing the risks of making the move Richard was asking of him. Bishop Leo’s phone has been tapped, and any suspicious activity on it would alert whosoever wants to kill him of his whereabouts and those who want to help Elijah. Elijah knew better than to trigger a sleeping time bomb. “Leo’s death is difficult on you, and I very much understand you, however, this would be the most foolish thing you would ever do in your entir

    Dorothy’s face froze, unexpecting the rage that dominated Eljah, her heart skipped intermittent beats. “W-what do -y-you think you are doing?” Dorothy stammered. “I might be a fool, but don’t think I also don’t have my feelings,” Elijah said with gritted teeth as he realized he was starting to go out of character. He had imagined headbutting Dorothy until she passed out or dislocating her shoulder in his grip. He imagined lots of things to make Dorothy the first to suffer at his hand, however, his imagination would be interrupted by Haylee sprinting down the stairs to put an end to his madness. “This is my mother, what do you think you are doing?” Haylee said, reddening Elijah’s cheek with a slap.Elijah’s face twitched and then beamed like a drunk man who had become sober. He lost the sense of having to remain in character, as there was no purpose for him to keep his identity. He marched to his room and dropped on the bed, staring at the glowing ceiling. It was the first tim

    Time ticking, emotions raging, it shadowed the end of the world to Elijah. He lumbered on hoping for something better as he began to drown in his thoughts and imaginations. He sought of alternatives to numb himself to the pain, nevertheless, it came at him like a raging storm that could not be held behind. While he visited local bars, begging for free beer, downing his self esteem and creating ruckus, Daniel and Mrs. Greene refused to cease scolding Haylee for her failure to make Elijah sign those papers. All the while, Haylee was conflicted with a contrasting set of emotions: one side of her feeling deep satisfaction with Elijah’s refusal to sign the divorce papers, keeping her out of the unnecessary marriage talks with a despicable man like Scott. On the other hand, lie a concentrated amount of fear for what Daniel might be planning for Elijah. She feared for Elijah more than Elijah did for himself. “What do you mean he refused to sign the papers?” Daniel questioned with his

    He glued his ear to the door and listened on a conversation a twelve-year old boy shouldn’t have. His boots and clothes were covered in mud, and breath heavy. “He is still a boy give him time to grow, he will come around.” The firm voice of Mrs. Greene escaped the room, repelling that of Mr. Greene.Daniel was still unsure as to what was going on, he kept his ears to linger on for a while, hoping the things he had heard his grandfather say about him was completely wrong. His knees wobbled against each other, as his frail legs began to ache but he kept the pain within. “He is not just a boy, Agnes,” Mr. Green retorted with his voice as firm as possible, maintaining his ground, “he is to take over the reins of this family when I am gone. My time is near and I can’t see a leader in him. His mother brought in a bastard to my son, and now I have to deal with it.” “Henry…” Mrs. Greene’s voice was laced with sign of tears, as she looked her grumpy husband in the eye, “He is jus

    Elijah opened his eyes slowly with his head aching like he had the worst hangover of his life. His vision was blurry at first as beads of sweat formed on his forehead and rolled into his eyes, delivering a pepperish sensational STING. “The boss would be here soon, you will get your payment.” Elijah heard the voice of a man echo in the building. Elijah wriggled through the rope squeezing him, but he could not break free. He forced himself up from laying on his side. “Where am I?” he wondered to himself. The banging in his head got louder and he could not seem to get the whispers form his head. He gathered his thoughts, and tried to form a perfect picture of what happened yesterday night. The harder he tried, the more impossible it becomes. His thoughts were locked out of his head. Then, a specific voice from the men struck his perception, “what are you all doing? Loitering around? Don’t make me kiss your asses and keep a watch on the captive.” The voice rang a bell in head,

We would participate in a sword fighting, whoever wins, kills the other” Elijah said, making Isabella gasp as she stood up and walked towards him.“ What are you doing? Now is your chance to end him, why are you trying to kill yourself once again?” Isabella was extremely worried.“ Did I ever tell you that I can't die if death isn't natural? So put your mind to rest, this will only make it a fair game” Elijah smiled.“ Kelvin, let him go. He needs to clad his sword with Lotus flower poison, so he can kill me once again” Elijah said in a mocking tone which made Hank and Dracula burst into laughter.Once Kelvin let Master Xi'an go, he disappeared from the board room. All this while, Elijah held Tim so that the members of the board meeting wouldn't know what was going on.“ Don't tell me you hid back time?” Isabella was surprised.“ Yes I did.

On getting to her office, she sat down in the swivel chair which belongs to Elijah.She kept touching the chair and table and it felt like Elijah was in the office with her.“ I know you're missing him, but you need to move on” a voice said inside Isabella's head.“ Yeah, I need to move in as prove to him that his Empire is in safe hands” Isabella nodded her head and almost immediately he became business-minded and focused at the same time.

    The ambulance sirens pierced through the night’s air as Elijah was rushed to the best hospital in Georgia.Isabella, Hank and Dracula followed closely behind the ambulance, their faces etched with worry and fear, most especially Isabella. She just couldn't accept the fact that Elijah died in her arms. She refused to believe it.As they arrived, the best medical team from different hospitals in Georgia were already present in the hospital waiting for the arrival of Elijah. He was quickly taken into the emergency ward, leaving the trio waiting for the news anxiously. Thirty minutes felt like an eternity as they paced back and forth in the waiting area.

Sweat clouded her forehead as he kept biting on her quivering lips.Finally, the doctor walked out of the emergency ward, his expression somber. Isabella stood up from the chair she was seating and rushed towards him, her eyes locked with his, pleading for answers.“

    “ Look around Uncle, your disciples are all dead and you will be the next” Elijah smirked as he took slow steps towards Master Xi'an.“ Not so fast, Nephew. My disciples might all be dead but I think you will be the next, I am not dying but you're the one dying” Master Xi'an said as he took his sword from its sheath.It glittered amidst the collision with the sunset.“ Nice sword you have there,” Elijah smiled, but his smile disappeared almost immediately as he positioned himself, ready to charge towards Master Xi'an. Isabella, whose heart was beating faster than normal, wanted to join Elijah in the fight with Master Xi'an but Hank stopped her from going.“ It's his fight, don't get involved” Hank gave her a reassuring smile before taking her to a small house where they stood waiting for the fight between the two relatives to take place.

After ten minutes of marching to the alley where the battle would be taking place, they already met Elijah and his men there. They were standing with a blank expression. That's number one rule in winning your enemies; they shouldn't know your next move or your expression on what you feel at that moment.“ Dear Uncle, have you told your disciples the truth?” Elijah stepped forward with a mischievous smile on.“ Uncle?” Nora's eyes widened in shock. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that Master Xi'an is

Where could Mommy be?” Young Tristan was already afraid.He loved his Mom so much that he would always stick to her wherever they went, so not seeing his mom made his heart skip.“ Hey, don't cry.

How did you know about it?” Mr Ramos started to stutter.“ Why won't I know when you have a son here?” Elijah smiled pointing at Kelvin who stepped forward.“ Why would you say something like that? We both worked hard for this company, it belongs to us both but now that she's dead, it belongs to me” Mr Ramos shouted angrily.“ It doesn't belong to you, Father, because you killed my mother all because you want the company to yourself and want to bring in Gregory and his mother” Kelvin said, his eyes blazing with hatred as he spoke.“ What are you talking about, bastard! Why would my father kill your pathetic mother?” Gregory stood up from the ground and rushed towards Kelvin, but Elijah held his wrist tightly, not letting him take another step further.“ What do you know?, bastard!” Mr Ramos walked towards Kelvin and landed a deafening slap across his face.“ You can slap me for all I care, but I won't let a murderer reap where he didn't sow” Kelvin gritted his te
