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
Isabella kept crying on Elijah's shoulder for some minutes before breaking the hug slowly.“ Do you realize how long I called you?” Isabella raised her eyes to look into Elijah's eyes.“ What if you didn't come right now? I would have gotten married against my wish. I hate you!” Isabella raised her fists and hit it in Elijah's chest. He let her hit him for as long as she wanted because he was the one who was too busy to pick up her calls.“ I apologise for not picking, but I am here now. I won't let any harm come to you again, I promise, “ Elijah assured and slowly wiped her tears before signalling for Hank to come get Isabella, which he did.Weston stood shocked at the altar where he was. He couldn't move or run away, and when he looked among the congregation, he was unable to find David again. He has escaped for his life, leaving Weston to face Elijah alone.“ That bastard!” Weston gritted angrily, but there was nothing he could do because he had been caught red handed.Elijah stop
GREENE FAMILY MANSIONHayley told her mom, Dorathy about her wedding with Scott. Dorathy was the most excited because she knew what she stands to gain from the wedding.Dorathy, who happens to be a blabbermouth, bragged to all her friends and all the members of the Payton family about Hayley's wedding with Scott.Soon Old Mrs Greene heard of it and called for a family meeting at the Green Family Mansion.“ I heard that you will be getting married to Scott, is that true Hayley?” Old Mrs Greene asked, seated on her usual wooden chair which looked like a throne.“ Yes Grandma. We decided to proceed with the wedding as soon as possible” Hayley stood up and replied.“ Good. When did you decide to do the wedding?” Old Mrs Greene asked.“ Next week Grandma. Scott is so in love with me that he just couldn't wait to get married” Hayley replied with a small smile.“ That's cool. So he would help in the release of Daniel right?” “ Yes he would, after the wedding” Hayley replied.“ That good new
WEST EMPIREAfter what happened between Elijah and Isabella, there was tension in the house and no one talked to each other not until Elijah left for the Empire.He was seated on his swivel chair inside his office, typing away on his laptop when the door burst open and Hank walked in with a bow.“ Any news on Davis?” Elijah asked, his eyes still concentrated on his laptop without looking up.“ No young master, it seems he has run into hiding” Hank replied.“ He used his younger brother for his selfish reasons and ran into hiding,” Elijah stopped typing and smirked.“ He won't know what would hit him when I come for him” “ Find the best hacker in Georgia to trace him down to his hideout” Elijah ordered.“ Yes young master” Hank bowed his head and walked to the door, he was about to open it when Elijah spoke, making him turn around.“ Get ready for the wedding, we are going soon” Elijah smiled and Hank nodded before going out.“ Scott! Scott! Scott! It's payback time” Elijah's lips cur
Immediately Elijah announced that he was once the ex son-in-law of the Payton family, the curiosity of the guests picked at once as murmurs erupted on more time.“ I am here to congratulate Hayley on her marriage with Scott” Elijah smiled and left the podium before signalling for Hank to bring the gift he prepared for Hayley. Hank left and was back with a document which he handed over to Elijah.Elijah once again went to the podium and ordered for the file in his hand to be projected on the wall for everyone to see.“ I found out that my grandfather, Late Chairman West, has 50% share in the Greene industry. So I would love to buy the industry completely and I am willing to pay any amount. That's my gift for the newly wedded” Elijah said and the eyes of Old Mrs Greene widened in shock and a mix of fear. It was true that Late Chairman West had 50% of the Greene industries but after he died, no one knew about it except for the Payton family. Late Chairman West invested into the Gree
Stepping out of the wedding hall with a triumphant smile on, Elijah exhaled deeply as he felt more relaxed because he was able to find his grandfather's killer.“ How do you feel?” Isabella turned to him with a smile.“ I feel so happy that my heart wants to rip out of my chest” Elijah said looking up to the sky while a silent chuckle escaped Isabella's lips but as she saw the bright smile on Elijah's face, the silent chuckle slowly turned into a mirthful but stilted giggle.It brought so much joy to her heart to see him all smiley and happy for the first time since she knew him. “ Let's go,” Elijah said and Isabella nodded.As they walked, Elijah suddenly held her hand and entwined it with his, making Isabella gasp in shock.“ Why are you so shocked? Remember you're mine” Elijah bent over towards her and whispered. His hot breath fanned Isabella's cheeks making it heat up with blush. Getting to his car, Elijah pulled the door open for Isabella and also entered, before driving off
