Daniel chuckled sitting unfazed by what Hank had just said. He needed his answers and could only resort to means like this to get the truth from a lie. At its best, his plan could only enrage Hank, but not break him. “You idiot, I was just messing with your head a little,” Daniel said mid-laughter. He covered up his anger with laughter to blend in with the emotion of the moment., Hank leaned closer to him, giving Daniel deaf ears to his final show of surrender, “Don’t try it, because you won’t survive it. The shits I have in my head will suffocate if you even try to spend a minute there.,” he pinned his hand on Daniel’s chest. “Fine. I will see what I can do about it if only you would understand me and let us get going after we are done here.” Daniel yielded with a frown but was still adamant about not releasing Hank. Hank was starting to get disturbed and scared. ‘The police will be here soon.’ Hank thought to himself. He tried to control himself on who the police would
“Why are the police here?” Daniel questioned at the top of his voice, glaring at Hank, “Why the fuck are the police here?”Elijah plastered an elfish grin on his face and charged at Daniel with a takedown to his side. He thrust a right hand into Daniel’s face, and then returned his face with a jaw breaking left. Daniel tossed him off away from him, but before he could get back to his feet, Elijah charged with another spear to Daniel. He continued to land repeated punches to pattern Daniel’s face while the siren of the police got closer. “We have to go now,” Hank said with an intonation and fear creeping in his voice, as he tried to pull Elijah off of Daniel. Elijah resisted, throwing Hank away from him, as he refused to give Daniel an breathing space however possible. His fist tightened after each successive punches with each one creating a lasting effect than the previous one. Hank fidgeted for a while, and would not want the police to meet him there, “that is enough, let us get
“You have to circulate the entire area right now,” Richard said with a touch of hurry in his voice, lockng eyes with the detective. “This is not your turf, tell me exactly what is going on or else none of my men will do nothing,” he answered, still remaining stubborn and unyielding with no sign of backing down.His words put Richard in an even more difficult position, as each second passing only spelt danger for Elijah. It only meant that his chance of redemption is sweeping past him faster than he could imagine. “You have to trust me, please.”He resorted to pleading if plain asking would not work out as he planned. However, sooner did his worst nightmare come upon him like a tsunami with no control. “Trust? Hell no!” the detective retorted with no time wasting, his upper lips curling into a sneering smile, “Let me ask you a question, Mr. Morgan,” he continued with his lips relaxed and his attention solely fixed on Richard in a sterner manner. “This is no time fo
It took Elijah and Hank with the rest of the crew two hours to finally shake off Daniel from their trail, and finally make their way to the city where they can get help. Hank decides to lead them to his hideout for a while until Elijah can reach Richard, however, shaking Daniel off their trail is the least of their problem, as Daniel immediately hires a rival thug group to fish out Hank and his men. “Son of a bitch,” Hank cursed out as he hid from the search of the men rummaging through his hideout, which happened to be an apartment but with an underground basement that contained all sorts of weapons. “What is it?” Elijah asked, sneaking behind Hank. “Look over there,” he redirected Elijah’s attention to the silhouettes that reflected on his window. “Who are they?”Hank wanted to ignore Elijah’s question, but he was the key to his wealth, “I don’t know yet, but they are not from me.” “So, you guess that Daniel sent them?” “Let us wait.”Hank could see strange faces
“ What are you both doing here? They are looking for you? The police!” Cory said ,his voice very low and Hank held his hand dragging him to a dark corner where no one was going to see them.“ Who are all these policemen working for?” Hank threw the question at Cory but he avoided Hank's gaze which meant one thing; he knew something about what was happening since he was the one who kidnapped Elijah at first.“ I know nothing about it” Corry denied and Elijah sighed.If only Cory could tell them who the policemen were working with, it would be a great help to them.“ Just tell us who the fuck they are working with!” Hank was running out of patience. He just needed a way to survive all this problem so he couldn't help but raise his voice at Cory.“ Hey,” Elijah stepped in and held Hank's hand indicating he should step back which he did, his face looking pissed off.“ Hey Cory,” Elijah called, looking straight into Cory's eyes, though Cory tried avoiding his gaze.“ Just tell us who these
“ I am no longer your brother-in-law, remember? I already divorced Hayley” Elijah stated the fact calmly making Daniel laugh.“ Sorry, my bad” he apologised with a smug smile on his face. Elijah felt irritated by Daniel's smile but he wouldn't want to complicate things because any slight mistake from him, all his plans would be ruined and he might end up dying, so he had to keep calm to avoid ruining the whole plan.“ I knew you would want to escape so I sent Cory to deceive both of you here. It was so much fun, I thought you're a little smart, Elijah but now I know that you're totally brainless” Daniel mocked. Elijah folded his fists inside his trouser. It took the last strength in him not to throw his fist into Daniel's cheeks and burst his lips.“ Now that you deceived us and led us here, what are you going to do? Extort money from me?” Elijah asked but Daniel moved closer to Elijah and whispered.“ Sorry brother-in-law, I already have enough money so yours isn't needed, I just wan
“ Yes sir,” Hank stuttered and began to narrate how it all started and how Daniel shut at Elijah.“ Who is that bastard called Daniel?” Grandpa West asked, his fists folded and his eyes blazing with anger.“ He was Elijah's brother-in-law when he was married to the Greene family” Hank narrated.“ Hmmm, the Greene family, that name rings a bell” Grandpa West said and faced a man beside him who is obviously the butler of the West family.“ Find out everything about the Greene family, I will make them pay for training a bastard like Daniel” Grandpa West said and the butler nodded and walked away with two other men. “ Grandpa West, please take a seat, Elijah would be fine” Hank suggested and the old man thought for a while before taking a seat beside Hank.“ And who are you Elijah?” Grandpa West faced Hank who was nervous because of the old man's aura.“ Our relationship is a complicated one, sir” Hank muttered and the old man only nodded. Soon after about an hour of waiting, a docto
With the help of Bishop Leo, Elijah was discharged from the hospital and was taken to his villa to shower and change his clothes, as they would be visiting the station to see Daniel.After bathing, Elijah dressed casually as usual and left the villa with Bishop Leo and Hank.“ Are you sure you want to go to the auction? I can go in your place” Bishop Leo asked because he was worried but Elijah said nothing other than flashing him a reassuring smile. After ten minutes of driving, the car halted in front of the police station. Elijah alighted with Bishop Leo and Hank as they made their way inside the station.Many eyes were on them most especially Bishop Leo because he is the most wealthy man in Georgia but no one knows that he is working for Elijah who is the richest in the country.“ You're here” the detective who went after Daniel with Richard shook hands with Bishop Leo and led them to the cell where Daniel was kept. On getting there, Elijah was shocked to see Mrs Greene and Hayley
