The driver slowly lowered his weapon, watching Elijah’s eyes, and seeing no trace of fear or anger inside them, he took a step forward toward Elijah and spoke, “I am nowhere related to you or this person that wants you dead. Hell, I don’t give a shit about this whole situation. I am in this for the bag, and if you think you can buy your life back, I am down with your deal.” “Buy my life back,” Elijah snorted before saying, “Sure, let’s see it that way.” The way Elijah looked unbothered by their threat had them even more confused, and the driver hesitated for a moment before putting his knife back into his belt. “Alright, okay. We'll do it your way. Now please, get inside the van.” “Nah, it doesn’t work that way,” Elijah stated bluntly, pausing as a taxi suddenly came to a stop right by them. “Our ride is here.” “He’s getting in a freaking taxi, Lex!” One of the men whispered firmly to the driver. “I can see that!” Lex exclaimed. “And you think that he has the money to out pay
Even though Matt's words were firm enough, one look for Elijah made him know that his boss was about to do something stupid and reckless. “This guy is right... Zac always carries a gun, and your skin is not bulletproof, so you need to listen to your man.” Lex said, frowning at Elijah. Reading the faces of the men around him, Elijah knew that none of them was going to side with him on this one, and he paced back and forth for a while, his mind racing and thinking of every single idea possible. The more he thought, the angrier he became, and then the storm rising in him simply ceased. “We need to make sure Dr. William's great-grandson does not reach that mansion,” Elijah stated firmly as he turned to look at all of them. “We need to get the boy and use him to our advantage.” “We can get the kids for you, but it's going to cost you,” Teddy said, testing the water to see if Elijah's desperation will make him pay more. “Get the kid, and I will pay four times what Texan offered yo
Standing in the parking lot of Silvershore hotel, Mr. William's body trembled as he stared at the main road, anxiously waiting for Elijah, his mind running wild with thoughts about little Dan's safety. A couple of minutes later, a Mercedes that he immediately recognized pulled into the parking lot, coming to a stop a slight distance away from him. When the door opened he saw his daughter-in-law rush from the car, and then she hurried into his arms, wrapping her hands around him tightly as he held onto her desperately. As soon as Dr. Williams pulled away from her, she cried out, “Is Dan-” “Elijah ordered that we should wait here for him.” Dr. William said between shaking gasps, trying to keep tears away as he looked at her worried face. “He’s going to bring him.” “We should call the police-” “Let’s not act irrational, Julie. We should at least wait on him and do as he says until he gets here.” “What if he doesn't?” “Let’s not pray for the worst.” Hugging onto her body, Julie an
Even though the question was running about in Elijah's head to ask the doctor, when he saw the nervous look on his face, he hesitated, and then said nothing.After a long pause, the doctor sighed, picked up the fork with the knife, and started cutting the roast beef, not daring to look at anyone else.“That’s all we are going to get?” Teddy mumbled, breaking the silence and causing the room to fall completely quiet again before he added, “I mean, that's criminal to just leave the story at such an interesting part.”Sighing, Mr. Williams lowered the knife but kept his gaze focused on the food as he spoke in a low voice. “There isn’t… if I tell you more, it would only end in disaster.”However, when he finally raised his gaze to meet Elijah's eyes, he looked remorseful and then asked, “Would you like to have dinner with my family, at our place, after all this is over?” “Yes,” Elijah agreed in a quiet tone and glanced over at his men.The gate of the Williams mansion opened and police c
So, I went back to the drawing board with this book, reevaluating the plotline and taking my time to figure out how to wrap up this story and give it closure. Yes, the story is ending this month, hopefully, the last week of October, but I don't plan to drag it into November. Regular updates will start tomorrow. This month is also my final exams month, so the pressure is there. I read all the comments about you guys not wanting a long story, and I am not a big fan of that either, so let's bring this bad boy to an end and move on. Well, see you all tomorrow with new chapters, and to everyone that reached out to "author Rever" on all platforms, thanks for the kind words. Thank you all for the gems, time, and money you have spent on my work. Sincerely Author Rever
Silently, Elijah studied Dr. William's face for any sign of lying, which he never found in the doctor's expression. Finally, Elijah leaned forward and said, “Let me get this clear, so none of the seven is his?”“Yes. Hayes fathered none of Jewel's children.” Dr. William replied.There was a long pause as Elijah tried to force his brain to come to terms with that fact and then he scoffed in disbelief, shocked about how much Madam Jewel had gotten away with.“Do you have a copy of the results?” Elijah finally asked after collecting his thoughts.Dr. Williams's face fell, remorse and guilt evident as he whispered, “No… I gave Hayes those because he requested them the day Meeks visited him at the hospital... The copies were all destroyed after his death… Jewel said that if anything about the results come out in any way, I and my children would be dead, so I had to do what I had to do to protect their life...”After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, “If Meeks didn’t get killed,
As he stared at her bare body while she reached out for her robe, Josh sighed, running his fingers into his hair, mumbling, “I am divorced now. There’s no need for us to keep this a secret anymore and keep having sex in remote places like this.”A soft, yet humorless laugh slipped from her lips as she wore her robe, turned to face him, and then said, “You think you are more special than the rest, huh?”“Well, your screams last night said so, and we have been doing this for years. Why would you keep having sex with me if I was not special, sweetheart?” Josh cockily uttered, pushing the sheets off him as he got out of bed.“I wish I would have ended up with her Ex-husband, then her brother since Melina used to love bragging about how great he was in bed and gentle-”“Jessica!”“What?! Huh?! I screamed because you are always rough! But just because I like that doesn't mean you are special.”Rage flashed across Josh’s eyes before his gaze softened as he shook his head, remembering what he
The sight of Jessica made Elijah frown slightly, but when their eyes locked, he immediately turned his focus back on Sen. Butcher who was now shaking hands with Bryan. “Happy birthday, Mr. Butcher. It's always my pleasure getting an invitation to your birthday celebrations each year.” Bryan said with a faint grin as he let go of the old man's hand. Returning a small smile, Mr. Butcher then darted his eyes on Elijah, mumbling, “Not a lady tonight... you have upgraded your plus one to someone way more intriguing.” “Happy birthday Congressman Butcher. It's my honor to be here to celebrate your big sixty...” Elijah humbly replied, but the look in his eyes was still piercing even though he tried not to show it. His gaze softened slightly when he saw the calm smile Mr. Butcher had sent him which was enough to put Elijah's heart at ease and to make him grin at the old man. “Isabella, come here, please.” Mr. Butcher instructed, looking back at a young beauty, pointing to the young woman
