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
“He is the heir of the West family?”“ I thought the West family of the Capital doesn't have an heir?”“ Is he trying to fool us?” The hall was filled with murmurs and whispers as everyone stared at Elijah with total shock.“ Being the heir of the West family is none of my business, I don't give a fuck about who you're” the man shouted, trying to cause a scene in the hall.“ Calm down every one, the jade would be given to Elijah West, since he bidded the highest amount” the auctioneer said and Elijah smiled and told Bishop Leo to go pay the amount and take the Jade.After paying for the jade, Elijah was leaving the hall with Bishop Leo behind him and Hank beside him when the man who caused a scene in the auction hall confronted him.“ Don't think this is over, ass hole. I will make you pay for what you did” he glared and walked away.“ Why is he so angry with me buying the jade when he doesn't have the amount I have?” Elijah scoffed and faced Bishop Leo.“ Find everything about him a
“ I will see what I can do about it, I am also not financially stable but I will do something and also, find out everything about the land you mentioned earlier, I think I am interested” Weston said and Lucy smiled but it was short lived when her phone rang from the drawer. She took the phone and picked it up.“ Hello, Hayley, what's up?” Lucy said.“ Come to the ancestral house, there's a meeting concerning the release of Daniel” Hayley said and Lucy nodded.“ I will be there soon, bye” Lucy hung up immediately and picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on.“ Is there a problem?” Weston asked but Lucy flashed him a smile.“ There's a meeting at our ancestral house concerning my cousin's release, so I will be leaving now” Lucy said and kissed Weston cheek before dashing out of the hotel room. Immediately Lucy left, Weston picked up his phone and dialled a number which picked after the second ring.“ Hello, young master Weston” a masculine voice said from the other end of
NEXT DAYAfter doing his morning routine, Elijah came downstairs and was a bit surprised to see Hank already waiting, dressed in a suit.“ Woah! You look responsible right now” Elijah teased but Hank rolled his eyes without saying a word.“ I am here to escort you to the West Empire, your grandfather wants to hand over the Empire to you” Hank informed and Elijah nodded and led the way to the parking lot.Getting there, there were countless flashy cars of different models and brands. Elijah was stunned to see such beautiful cars in his villa.“ I am sure this is Bishop Leo's doing, “ Elijah chuckled. Hank took out a car key from his pocket and pressed a button making one of the cars to hunk.“ Bishop Leo ordered me to drive you in this Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300” Hank walked to the car and opened it. He turned to see Elijah still standing which made him furrow his brows.“ Aren't you getting in? We are running late” Hank made it known to Elijah that they are running late because of
