It was a long flight from Beijing back to Georgia. It took 12 hours and finally, they were at Georgia airport where Elijah called Hank to come pick them up from the airport.“ The air in Georgia is so different from the air in Beijing” Zhang Ming said, making his wife Yang Ying to chuckle.“ That's true, I think I would love to settle here in Georgia, it seems like a nice place,” Yang Ying said. They were still discussing when Hank walked towards them and bowed his head to Elijah. “ Welcome back from China, young master” Hank said and helped them with their luggage as he took them to where the car was packed.“ How is the stock of the Empire?” Elijah asked while Hank sighed.“ It plummeted so badly that some staff are starting to drop their resignation letters ” Hank muttered while Elijah chuckled.“ It is as if they were waiting for the Empire to go down to the drain before they show their real faces and color. Anyway, those that submitted resignation letters, accept it and recruit
The next day dawned bright and clear in the West Empire, where Elijah, the enigmatic heir, had a surprise in store for everyone.He called for a board meeting, but this one was a bit different because it was filled with reporters who were eager to capture every moment on camera. These were all part of Elijah's plan. He wanted to face slap his enemies in the most embarrassing way that they would regret trying to drag him down.Elijah, with a confident smirk on his face, seemed unfazed and unmoved by the attention as he took his place at the podium.The board members and staff who had stayed behind because they trusted that Elijah was going to rise the Empire back to the top, even higher than it was before. They were all intrigued at how confident and buoyant he was as he took over the microphone.The Empire was in dire straits, with shareholders and investors deserting it for the Wales company to seek greener pastures. To them, since the West Empire was reduced to nothing, they would r
SBN ENTERTAINMENTInside the airing room, two men were seated in front of a desk with the camera looking directly at them." On air" the director who oversees airing the news said and the anchor started.“ Good afternoon to you all, today we have a special guest with us today. It was very difficult to secure an appointment with him since he is a public figure and obviously the most searched man on Earth right now" The anchor started while Elijah chuckled.A few days after the West Empire rose to the top, Hank recruited new staff despite how the old ones who resigned begged to come back.This who stayed behind when the company went down to drained were given a bonus for six months, and they couldn't help but praise and thank Elijah continuously.While the rest of the board members, who were just six, were given a villa each with $1 million as an appreciation for standing by the Empire through thick and thin.Everything fell back in place, while Elijah slowly executed his plans on how to
Elijah was seated in his office in the West Empire when Hank walked into the office. His face was filled with horror as he walked to Elijah's office with a file in his hand.“ What happened, Hank? Why is your face so paled?” Elijah asked, but Hank couldn't form a word from his mouth.“ Say something!” Elijah raised his voice a bit higher than usual.“ Bishop Leo was found dead in the jail last night, but there's one more shocking news,” Hank started and Elijah raised his brow with curiosity.“ And what is that?” Elijah asked.“ Bishop Leo is not the Bishop Leo you knew.” Hank said, and Elijah frowned.He just couldn't get what Hank meant by Bishop Leo is not the Leo he knew as his grandfather's butler.“ The Leo who worked for your grandfather is dead, and you know about it” Hank said and Elijah nodded.“ Yes, I knew, but it turned out that he wasn't dead. He survived” Elijah replied, but Hank shook his head in disagreement.“ The real Bishop Leo is dead, the bishop Leo who was working
GREENE FAMILY MANSIONDorathy could be seen seating in the sitting room, with a bowl of popcorn in her hand.Her legs were crossed together as she watched a TV show on the flat screen TV in the sitting room.“ Hayley! Get me some milk from the freezer” Dorathy shouted.“ I am busy mom, send Lucy” Hayley replied, making Dorathy to frown.“ Will you get downstairs right now before I get there!” Dorathy shouted angrily.Hayley left the work she was doing on her laptop to attend to her mother.She walked to the freezer and got the milk for her.“ How I wish Elijah were still here. He would still be doing our house chores for us. Both you and Lucy are just two lazy brats who do nothing besides eat and go out” Dorathy said while Hayley rolled her eyes and turned around, going upstairs back to her room. She was about to start climbing the stairs when Dorathy’s voice stopped her.“ When are you going to seduce your ex-husband? I am tired of living this kind of life. All my friends are drivin
Elijah wasn't aware of Hayley and Scott's present as he ate with Isabella, who has been smiling none stop.Ever since Elijah got back from China, she hadn't set her eyes on him, so she went to the Empire and dragged him with her to this restaurant.“ Won't you eat?” Isabella asked as she shoved a big piece of beef in her mouth, munching on it slowly.“ I will watch you eat” Elijah replied as he watched her ear like a child. He didn't know when a small smile found it way to his lips, and before he could stop himself, his hand moved to Isabella's mouth, as he wiped a stain off the corner of her lips.Isabella was caught surprised, that she froze when Elijah's cold thumb landed at the corner of her lips.She didn't know when her cheeks turned red, and she began to hiccup.“ Are you okay?” Elijah, who was oblivious of what his thumb, did to her, took out a bottle of water and poured it into a glass cup of Isabella.“ I am fine” she hiccuped again as she took the water from him.“ Are you
“ Marriage? Isn't that too quick?” Scott asked but Hayley smiled.“ Don't you have the intention of marrying me?” “ I have but I am just surprised at how quickly you want to marry me” Scott replied and gave Hayley a small smile.“ Fine. Let's get married” Scott said and Hayley pulled him into a hug.She smirked in the hug, “ I am coming for you Elijah” Hayley smirked. *********Outside the restaurant, Elijah removed his hand from Isabella's waist making her to but her lips hurtfully.It felt as if he shouldn't let go of her waist and it hurt when he let go of her waist with an apologetic look on his face. “ I am sorry for whatever Hayley did” Elijah apologised but Isabella said nothing.“ Are you okay?” Elijah asked seeing that she didn't say anything.“ Did I by any chance do anything wrong?” Elijah asked once again seeing that she refused to say anything.“ Why did you call me your woman in front of her?” Isabella asked as she raised her head to look at Elijah.“ Huh?”“ I asked
Isabella walked into the Dylan mansion looking so pissed off because of what occured between her and Elijah some minutes ago. She walked into the sitting room only to meet the last person she expected to meet.Her face changed into a frown when she set her eyes on Weston who flashed her one of his annoying smiles which made her cringe. She ignored the visitors seated in the sitting as she made her way upstairs but the voice of her father stopped her from taking any further steps. “ Can't you see we have visitors?” Mr Dylan's voice rang which made Isabella turn with a fake smile.“ Welcome sir, I hope you enjoy your visit here” Isabella said pretentiously before continuing her walk upstairs but her father followed her looking so pissed off because of her attitude towards Mr Wales, Weston's father. “ Isabella! Stop right there!” Mr Dylan shouted as he walked faster to Isabella and held her hand, making her turn towards him.“ How dare you walk out on your father in law?” Mr Dylan a
