Claire still didn’t take the intimidating card being handed to her, so Blake placed it on the coffee table in front of her like it was nothing to him. He made his way to a chair away from Claire. Julie looked at the card and longed to reach out and grab it, but until Claire accepted the card, she would not dare to take it, so she sat beside Claire for support.Tabitha emerged from the kitchen with a burger in one hand and fries in the other. Seeing the situation Sat at the table and began to eat as if it didn’t concern her. Blake looked at Tabitha, there eating and smiled. Julie thought Blake smiled at Claire and felt more at ease with him.“Blake, as you can see, Claire is very remorseful over what happened. Can you see it in your heart to forgive her this one time? Also, I want to thank you for saving me in Vegas and for the gift.” Julie said, lifting her wrist to show that she still wore the diamond bracelet.When she mentioned the bracelet, Claire unconsciously placed her fingers
“What’s all the commotion?”“Blake’s watching the football game,” Tabitha answered.“I didn’t know that he liked football.” She replied.“There’s a lot that you don’t know about me. It bothers me that you didn’t ask about my family or me. You were never interested in me. I know everything about you, Claire. Your favorite makeup, shows you watch, and foods you love and hate. Where do you get off saying you didn’t know something about me?”“Well, maybe I’m interested in you now. Why don’t we get to know Blake Elon.” Claire said, a little upset about being lectured by Blake.“What do you want to know? I’ll let you in on a little secret. I never have or will lie to you.” Blake said, rising from the couch. “What do you want to know?”Claire looked at Blake, and Tabitha was astonished at Blake’s demeanor. Was he going to confess that he is the heir and CEO of Elon Trust?“Who is the CEO of Elon Trust? Have I met him?” Was Claire’s first question. She had been wondering why someone as powerf
“Julie, you never gave me a chance. All you saw in me was a lowly delivery guy who wouldn’t amount to anything. Even when I got a business under my name, you looked down on me, saying that I would be bankrupt, and don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve wanted me to give half of the business to Claire. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Elon Trust will always own all businesses owned by Elon Trust, and I only receive the profits, not the business.” Blake said, sitting back down.Julie stayed quiet, and she couldn’t refute what he had said. So, her anger subsided.“Claire, you’ve been awfully quiet this whole time care to share your thoughts?” Blake asked, looking at Claire.“Sigh. You are right, Blake. Mother and I have schemed to take your business away from you, mostly mother, I didn’t care one way or the other, and we didn’t look to you as an equal or give you a chance to get better. We always took advantage of all your skills. When I thought that you had got those two women pre
“In the economic section, the Elon Conglomerate announced a few days ago that the new CEO will be Jake Elon. Those who know him will surely recognize him from Forbes Magazine as one of the most influential individuals. With him at the company’s helm, we will surely see significant strides in the thriving Conglomerate worldwide.” The commentator stated. “Here are a few words from the new CEO of Elon Conglomerate.”“I’m pleased to announce my position as the new acting CEO official of Elon Conglomerate, with a new restructuring within the company. We will surely increase our interest. Thank you, that will be all.” Jake said behind a podium addressing the masses, and walked away.“They must be in shortage of news. They played this a few days ago. Have you gotten in touch with him since he took over?” Sylvia asked, looking at Blake eating.“No need at this time. Let him get his footing for now. I’ll visit later when I visit my friend and see his progress. We have three more weeks until th
“Maybe, I’m at the second cycle of restructuring my body, and I would have only needed another year’s time with Tabby to cultivate the sixth realm and enter the third and final cycle. How are you two doing in condensing your golden cores?” “With the restricted amount of Qi entering my body, it’s been slow, but I also haven’t had the chance to cultivate with work,” Sylvia stated. “Same for me. With exams and studying, I haven’t been able to find the time.” Tabitha said, allowing her Qi to enter Blake. “We will need to enter the small world and condense your golden cores, then have your tribulations so you can contain the excessive Qi for a longer duration. Also, you can live longer after that step. I would say close to five to eight hundred years, give or take.” “Blake, after you finish your cultivation on the body, how long will you be able to live?” Sylvia asked. “As long as I finish the nine life destruction process, I’ll have approximately a thousand to three thousand years lif
“He’s in the sixth realm. Can’t you notice his features have changed again?” Tabby asked while watching television.“You look more handsome, and from what I can see, your stature has become more solid,” Sylvia said, eyeing Blake in his robe. “So, how much stronger are you now?”“Let’s just say if I were still in the military, I wouldn’t have to fear for my life,” Blake replied, placing food onto his plate.“So Strong,” Tabitha replied through her eating.“Yes, but that’s only the middle of the body tempering. I still have three more realms to go through, which are the most crucial. Changing the spirit Qi into divine Qi for the body to contain the power of the Divine Sea. Now, who is ready to have some fun?” Blake asked, clapping his hands together.“What do you have in mind?” Asked Tabitha.“How about we go to the beach for the day and enjoy ourselves,” Blake said with a smile.“Sounds like fun.” Sylvia said smilling.“I haven’t been to the beach in ages. But we didn’t bring our swims
“Did you go see the doctor? To be sure that you have Gonorrhea?” Julie asked.“Yes, I have the prescription there. I need to take the pill with food. Can you please fix me something to eat?”“What? Where is Blake? Isn’t he here?” Julie asked, surprised that Blake hadn’t arrived to prepare breakfast for them.“Sigh, I’m afraid there will be significant changes. I’m afraid Blake will not treat us as he had in the past.” Claire said, trying to prop herself up with her pillow behind her.“We’ll see about that. He is still your husband who….”“Who doesn’t have to be at our becking call? He’s only here to fulfill the remaining months of the contract, whether here or elsewhere; it doesn’t matter.” Claire interrupted her mother. “After I’m better, I’ll try to make amends for my actions and get back in good graces with him. But this virus will take me a week to recuperate.” Julie left her daughter and prepared breakfast for the two of them. When she arrived, she had burnt toast, jelly, and a
After purchasing their items and accessories, they went to the beach. Changing in the changing booths arranged throughout the boardwalk, they emerged, ready for the fun day. The sun was shining over the lapping waves as it hit the beach’s edge, and the heat made them enjoy the cool ocean breeze. They made their way to an isolated spot on the beach and placed their towels on the warm sand. Blake centered a large umbrella for the girls to get out of the sun when needed. Blake began putting sunscreen on Sara after she asked for his help. She was still mortal and, being a fair-complected woman, would burn quickly with the sun’s rays. Blake left Tabitha and Sylvia to themselves as he looked out into the ocean. People were swimming and having a good time while a few surfed in the massive waves further out.“Have you ever surfed?” Sara asked Blake while he was looking at the many people out surfing.“Can’t say that I have. You?” Blake asked, getting Sylvia and Tabitha’s attention from placin
