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
END OF FLASHBACKElijah smiled once more before driving away into the lonely road of Georgia.******** PAYTON ANCESTRAL HOUSEThe whole Payton family were in chaos, they were all restless as they thought of what to do.“ If it wasn't for Hayley, Elijah wouldn't have done this to us” one of the family members named Joshua said.“ How is that the fault of my daughter?” Dorathy turned around to glare at the man named Joshua.“ It's clearly your family's fault for bringing someone like him home and then treating him like trash, now that he has risen to power, he came back to crush on us. How do we survive once he takes his father's share for Greene industry?” Rita, another family member asked.“ We have to find a solution before it gets worse. How about we go to him and plead for mercy. Maybe, just maybe he would forgive us and won't take the Greene industry from us now that Old Mrs Greene has been arrested” Dorathy brought the idea but Hayley who has been silent for a while chirp
TONY MANSIONEveryone looked tired because of the incident that happened during Scott's wedding with Hayley.From the look of things, Mr Tony was so angry at Scott but kept it in until they arrived home. “ Father, the fact that Elijah destroyed my wedding doesn't mean I won't make Hayley my wife. Do you know how much I loved her so much?” Scott said immediately they got home, but his father ignored him totally and continued his work to his room upstairs.“ Father!” Scott, called by Mr Tony, didn't reply until he was out of sight.“ Let him be Scott, he will come around once his anger has subsided” Mrs Tony tried consoling her son.“ But don't you know she was once married to Elijah?” Josh, Scott's younger brother, asked with a chuckle.“ I know” Scott replied with a folded fists as he reminisced the look on the guests face when he mentioned that Old Mrs Greene was the one who killed his grandfather.“ Why must he choose my wedding day to announce who killed his grandfather?” S
