They both stood up and walked in the direction where the sound came from. Madeline hurriedly came out of her hiding and sighed. Oh no! She had forgotten that the gate needed a remote button that would make it open. Goodness! Where was she going to find the remote to open this goddamn gate? Hell! She started tapping her foot several times on the ground as her head filled with different thoughts. She walked to the spot where the two gate guards were standing and looked around. Was it that they took the gate remote with them? That was bad.Madeline looked further and just then her eyes came in contact with a blue small remote on the ground. “Yes, that’s it.” She bent down to pick it up and looked at it in confusion. There were three buttons in it, different in size. The first was the biggest, the second was medium size and the last was the smallest. She didn’t know which button to press and what they were made for. Her finger unconsciously moved to the last button and she pressed it.
"I already told you, we're going to be using five and that's final. I don't care how you do it, but make sure it's possible," Elias ordered. "Yes sir," Mr. Madison replied. His employer is so difficult to deal with. Trying to extract some more money from him is harder than walking on a burning furnace. Ring Ring! Elias's phone rang and he decided to ignore it. "Now, show us what you have for us, Mr. Benson. I hope..."Ring Ring!"Damnit!" He exclaimed before angrily answering the call. "What the fuck do you want. Do you desire my wrath?" He roared at the person on the other side of the phone. "What! I'll be right there," he exclaimed and abruptly stood up from his chair. "Sir, where are you going? We're in the middle of a meeting," Mr. Benson said as they all looked at him."This meeting is adjourned," he declared before wearing his mask and storming out of the conference room, ignoring
After waiting for a while, Elias decided to go look for her himself. He stood up from the chair and headed to the door of the room when the door pushed open and someone walked in."Brother Elias? Why is everyone running up and down in your mansion?" Evelyn asked. "Why are you here?""I came to see you. I don't think it's wrong coming to see you once in a while. I do that usually you know," she replied, her voice sweeter and tiny than usual. She gave him a shy smile and used her forefinger to curl her hair. "If you have nothing reasonable to say, get out of my way. As you can see, I'm busy," he said, trying to walk out, but she quickly clenched his arms."Wait, Elias. Your father sent me here." "Why did he send you here? Speak.""He gave me that task you so much wanted and he wants you to guide me," she answered."What? Don't you dare lie to me, Evelyn.""Won't you? I also want to be respected in the organization. You're the only one who yields so much power as the don. I also want
Evelyn quickly rushed to him and held his arms to prevent him from leaving. She knew that the only thing stopping him from dealing with her was the rules of the organization. She could see him stopping himself from forcefully throwing her off him. "Evelyn," she heard his deep voice call. "I'm warning you again. You won't like what I'll do to you if you don't get your hands off me," he threatened. He was trying his best to hold himself back. He doesn't want any more problems but if she doesn't listen to him, he was going to forget about everything and teach her a lesson. Her grip on him was so tight and the more he tried to remove his arms from her hands, the more she clung to him. He didn't want to hurt her and that was why he was asking her nicely. "Ok, fine, fine, Elias. If you don't love me, it's fine. If you don't want to divorce that girl and get married to me, it's fine. If you hate seeing my face, it's fine too. I won't bother you anymore, but please grant my last request,"
“Yes, I wanted to kill her. I would have done it if I hadn't found out now. I have known you for years but you never loved me, talk more of getting married to me. But you went ahead and married that lowlife who isn’t up to your profile,” Evelyn continued, moving her hands furiously. “Her family is rich, yes, but they are far below us. You got married to her and that’s why I wanted to get rid of her. She stole you away from me. If I may ask, Elias. How could you allow your wife to walk around unprotected knowing fully well that you have lots of enemies? Haha. If this continues, then I won’t have to do anything and someone else will do it,” she laughed. Elias gritted his teeth and roared in anger.“Don’t you dare get involved in my family matters. If you try something like this again, I’m going to make your life more miserable than it already is. Don’t think you’re forgiven for this time because I’m not done with you. I’ll teach you a lesson.”His eyes were brewing fire making Evelyn
Elias strode into the restaurant and as always, all eyes turned to him. His aura and appearance screamed power and influence. He walked to the reception and asked the fair well dressed lady. “Where is your boss?”“Hello, sir. Do you want a VIP or VVIP private room?” She asked, flashing him a charming smile. His fingers tapped the reception table in annoyance as he glared at the lady who was smiling broadly at him. “I asked you where your boss is. Did I not?” He repeated.“Y..yes you did. If you want something I can ask someone to get it for you, sir.”Elias snapped. If this place was his, he was surely going to fire this receptionist. He hates it when someone makes him repeat himself. Obviously, this woman was doing one of the things he hates the most. His patience snapped and he hit the table and yelled at the lady. “Where the hell is your boss? If you make me repeat myself one more time, I'm going to throw you into the woods
“W-where are we going?” Madeline asked.“Scared for your life, huh?”Madeline kept quiet and decided to keep watching ignoring her beating heart. His presence in the car was making her so conscious, coupled with the fact that she was sitting too close to him, their legs almost brushing. He should at least give her some private space to breath. She was already leaning towards the window and still yet he was so close to her. He was doing this on purpose, she wassure of that. Making her uncomfortable on purpose. Maybe this was one of his ways of punishing her and making her regret leaving his mansion. Tsk. A hour later, their black expensive car finally drove into his mansion and came to a stop. The middle aged driver quickly came down and opened the back door for Elias to step out of it. Elias came down from the car and stretched his hand for the woman inside to take. Refusing to take his hands, Madeline opened the door at her side of the car and stepped out. She gulped when she hear
Two days later, a clean white luxury car, drove through a deluded area filled with thick bushes and tall trees. A handsome young man sat at the back seat of the car, scrolling through his black iPad with his legs crossed. His thick black hair was combed backwards and on his ears were a pair of silver expensive earnings. He was looking like a hot bad guy set for a movie. Elias wasn't wearing his mask today, since he doesn't need it for the day. This was his normal appearance and vibe when going for the organization meeting and this was how he looks without the soft mask to cover the lower half of his face. “How many minutes before we get to the location?” he asked his usual middle aged pot bellied driver. The driver looked at him through the review mirror before answering. “At least 20 minutes, sire,” he answered. He looked back at the road and took a left turn, his eyes scanning the area for any possible enemy. He might look old and weak but surely he was one of Elias best securiti
She searched Elias’s eyes for truth but found nothing. She doesn't know if to believe him or not. “Is she alright, doctor?” Elias asked. “Ahh, yes. Everything is fine.” The doctors decided to leave the couple alone and walked out of the hospital room. “Stop crying okay? Adalyn is alright.”“I'll stop crying.”“I'll bring her to you, hmm? Don't cry anymore.”He cleaned her tears before getting off the bed and walking to the other side of the room where little Adalyn lay with her eyes closed. She was obviously asleep. He carried her carefully in his arms and brought her to Madeline who readied her hands to carry her baby as tears of joy filled her eyes. “You’ll fall sick if you keep crying like this sweetheart.” Before she could take the baby from him, he retracted his hands. “Elias, give me my baby,” she whined. She was so eager to carry her baby in her arms knowing that she was fine and everything would return to normal. “Not until you stop crying. Clean your tears and I'll give
They all stopped at the realization that a cliff was right behind Anny and one step from her and she would be gone along with the little baby girl in her arms. Madeline almost fainted at the sight in front of her. She could feel her tears flowing freely and her eyes closing on her. If Genevieve wasn't holding her right now, she would have dropped on her knees as her legs were weak. “Anny please, don't do this,” she begged. Anny swallowed. Behind her was a cliff. She might die if she makes one wrong move. The thing is that, whether she gives them the can't or not, she was going to die. If she gives them the baby, Elias surely won't let her be. He was going to make her life a living hell for daring to kidnap his half day old baby. If she didn't give them the baby, she was also going to die as her feet were at the end of the cliff. One move and she was gone. She wasn't going to die alone. If at all she does here, this baby was dying before her. They must feel pain for their baby and re
“If you move any further, then I won't hesitate to shoot you,” Elias warned. He watched as the woman stood still as he pointed his gun at her while moving slowly closer to her. Abruptly, she turned the situation around and placed her hands on the child's neck while staring at Elias causing his eyes to widen. “Move any further and I will not hesitate to kill you daughter,” she warned. The child was crying very loudly by now and Elias stopped at her warning. Abby laughed at that. Now he would know who was the boss here. She was holding his crying daughter and that made her the one with the upper hand. Any move of his now, she was going to throw the baby to a side and while their focus was on the baby, she would run away. At least to save herself.“Who are you and what do you want?” Elias asked. “I guess you can’t recognize me. Look deeply. Stare at me for minutes and you would know who I am. I was really so close to you guys. Look, come on.”Elias’s mouth fell open as he did as she
The imposter ran with all her might away from the hospital when she saw that she was found out and Elias’s guards were coming after her. She ran with all strength in her. If she passed the road, they were going to get hold of her. Worst, the road was kind of secluded that day and cabs were not passing through the road. How was she going to get away from the guards who were almost getting to her? Her legs took her into the bush and she clutched the head of the baby to her chest and ran into the bush that has thick trees and roughy. Her feet moved quickly as she was desperate to get away from the men on her trail. “This damn baby. I should just strangle it to death,” she muttered as she kept on running. “But if I do, I’ll remain broke and won’t make any money. But with this baby, I’ll make a lot of money and pay for my plastic surgery.”Suddenly, she stopped and pulled her wig and face mask that was making her uncomfortable and her eyes hardened. The lady’s head was bald with no inch
“Okay, that's good. Talk to him and call me later.”Elias finished his call and slipped his phone into his pocket before walking back into the hospital room. His eyes scanned the room for the nurse who just came in and he frowned. Where the hell was she? The tray she brought in was there lying on the side of the bed and the nurse was not in the room. These nurses these days were surely lazy. Feeling something off in the room, his footstep accelerated as he walked to the baby’s crib and his eyes widened in shock. “Goodness! Fuck.”He immediately opened the door of the room and asked. “Did the nurse come out?” “No boss, is something wrong?”“Fuck! The baby is missing.” Their eyes widened as they heard what the boss said and immediately, they ran to the room and one of the guards called for backup. “Search every nook and cranny of the room.” Sweat broke out on Elias’s skin as he ran his hands through his hair. How exactly did this happen under his watch? There was no way that he cou
“Adalyn Johan,” the grandfather muttered. The focus of the family was solely on the baby that they didn't notice when Madeline fell asleep after watching them banter about her baby. “Grandfather already fell in love with the baby, I'm sure in years, Adalyn would be running around him.”“That's true. See how carefully he is carrying her.”“Adalyn is so cute that father can't help but love her.”“Grandfather is now a great-grandfather.”The people in the room remarked on the care with which the grandfather held the little girl. He held her like a trophy. A special trophy. He resisted the urge to thank the mother of the baby for giving them such a cute bundle of joy. Adalyn Johan was a bundle of joy that brought the whole family together and ended the animosity between them. Her birth was a blessing. He made a mental note to thank the mother of the baby after this ends. He was going to thank her and ask for forgiveness for his wrongdoings. The baby passed from the grandfather to Elias’
“Date of birth, November 16, 2022. 4:18 pm,” the doctor declared. “Wahhhhhhh, the baby’s cries were the only noise in the room as the nurses cleaned him a little before placing the baby on the chest of the new mother who patted her back and bend her head to stare at her before turning to look at Elias who was smiling at her. Their eyes gave many expressions as they smiled at each other while staring at the baby who had stopped crying. Elias stared at the baby on Madeline’s chest and his heart filled with indescribable emotions. Their princess was here. Their own baby. The baby who they were going to give all their love and affection to. Their very own firstborn. The nurses came to Madeline’s side and took the baby from her to go wash and dress him up. “You did well, sweetheart,” Elias whispered into her ears and cleaned the drop of sweat from her forehead before. He could see that she was tired but still wanted to hold her baby and feed her before succumbing to darkness. “Our bab
“Isn’t it time yet? It’s been hours already,” Madeline cried as she rolled her hips on the big pregnancy ball that helps with childbirth. It’s been a month already and her water broke some hours back when she was sleeping. Elias was the one who noticed it and asked her so they rushed to the hospital. But here they were, fourteen hours already in the hospital but the doctor was still saying that it wasn’t time for her to start labor yet and she still has to wait for a few more contractions. She has been having contractions for fourteen hours now and the doctor still tells her that. The cramps and pains were making her almost go crazy. “Just some more contractions ma’am. It’s not yet time,” the attending nurse answered. Few more? That was what they have been saying for hours now. And this stubborn baby refuses to start coming out. Just as she was about to lash out at the nurse, she saw Elias coming towards her with a can of water in his hands. “Here, have some sweetheart,” he opened
“Want me to show you the gift I got for you?” Elias asked, walking Madeline out of the house, her eyes tied with a white cloth. Their guests were gone already and just the two of them in the condo. Elias held her hands and guided her steps as she couldn't see. “Where are you taking me?”“You'll see.”He guided her to the open garden at the back of the house and stopped. “Ready to see your gift?” “Stop wasting time already and show me the gift.” Her curiosity was top-notch right now and she so much wanted to see what exactly he got her that was different from the others that he had to bring her somewhere apart from inside the house to display. She was so curious to see what it was. “Okay then, are you sure you're ready?”“Elias... I am. Open my eyes already.”“If you say so.” His hands moved to her eyes and removed the white cloth. “That's your gift.”Her eyes widened as she stood frozen on the spot and stared at her gift. Goodness. This was what Elias got? Her mouth opened agape
