Chapter Fourteen
The meeting was a combination of numbers, figures, business plans, a name he recognised but had never met the person, and his name mentioned a few times with some people insisting that he could be lying about his identity as Eli Thorne Aurelius, and she shouldn't have invited him to the meeting, but he was totally ignored and was treated like he wasn't present, and he didn't understand a thing that was being discussed, except for the business ideas they were trying to pitch and he wanted to make a few contributions, but like he had stated, he was ignored, plus the guard initial warning had stopped him from just making his contribution.The meeting soon came to an end and every person left the conference room individually, each sparing him a glance but not saying anything. They continued in this procession quietly till Eli and the woman at the end of the table were the only ones remaining.“I know you might be wondering if I truly believe your identity as Eli Thorne Aurelius, but I hav
Chapter Thirteen
Eli took his time admiring the suit he had been instructed to wear, calculating the total price spent on it and how much he would make if he sold it.He had never worn something so expensive before, so he was a bit hesitant as he feared it might not suit him,-- he had a great body, and his face was something to be proud of, his most worry was that the suit wasn’t going to be enough to hide his poor background, considering the aura from the woman that had been with him in the room some minutes earlier, the Suv he had arrived in and the suit he was staring at, he knew he was about to meet some powerful people, and he didn’t want to feel out of place. Eli hadn’t grown up feeling inferior to anybody, but the constant insult from people at his workplace, where he frequented and his wife’s family had lowered his self confidence a bit. A knock brought him out of his thoughts as he headed to the door to check who it was that was knocking.“Mr. Eli, I hope everything is good there. I understa
Chapter Twelve
A loud knock on his door had Eli sitting up. He groaned as he stretched his hand to retrieve his phone, checking what the time was and if he had gotten a call, maybe Aurelius had a change of mind and decided to call him back.A not so audible gasp escaped his throat as he saw how late it had gotten, followed by a defeated sigh that he really didn’t receive any call. The loud continuous knocking brought a frown to his face as he struggled to organize his thoughts. Then a thought passed through his mind making him worry, what if Roy was here to tell him that they had moved the day forward for the demolition and he needed to leave now. He still hadn’t achieved anything, what was he going to do if that was the case.Doing a sign of the cross as if in prayer he stood up from the bed, deciding hiding away in the room wasn’t going to stop their demolition if that was what the noise and chaos was about.“Sorry man, I just wanted to let you know there’s a black car out front, – could be the de
Chapter Eleven
Eli woke at the first crack of light, he turned over, surprised to see the side Elara lay empty.“You are up early.” Elara’s voice sounded from the wardrobe corner making him sit upright.“So are you.”A light chuckle escaped Elara’s lips as she came to sit beside Eli. “There’s an important conference meeting to be held today at the company, Grandma wants me there, and I thought I would make breakfast before I leave– what about you, it’s Sunday, I am certain you don’t have anything important planned, or did you miss me too much, that you just had to wake up.”“Actually, I do have something important to do today, I wasn’t able to finish my work at the construction site yesterday, and the manager asked us to be present today, so I have to go, I can’t deny missing you though.” Eli responded, as he placed a light kiss on Elara’s nose and forehead, getting up immediately to stretch his bones, so he didn’t notice the subtle movement of Elara wiping the spot his lips had touched with her ha
Chapter Ten
By the time Eli was done looking through all the files and news he could get on Aurelius from all the libraries he had visited that day, it was already dark outside and his stomach was starting to rumble, his head was starting to ache, his eyes were starting to turn and his fingers were starting to cramp from flipping through many books.He lifted his phone to check the time as he wondered how he was going to contact Aurelius global, because the more he searched for it, the more he believed he was connected to Aurelius.Eli sighed, a yawn escaping his lips as well, stretching as he gathered the files he had picked, going to drop it on the shelves, before leaving the library.The sun was starting to set, the streetlights were starting to come on, casting a light on him, even his shadow looked tired.He stood there for a moment wondering if he should go back home or to his foster parents house considering the fact that he wasn’t ready to explain what the files and pictures he still had
Chapter Nine
“Don’t say that Eli.” Evelyn threw her head back as a gasp escaped her mouth, her lips trembling, her fingers shaking.“I will always love you Eli, and I am so glad that you showed up on our door that day. I know I have not been able to give you the best life, but that doesn’t determine my love for you.”“The money you were paid to keep quiet, where did they all go too, why are you still living poorly, why did we live as paupers, – don’t tell me you were bought over by something so little.” Eli asked, his voice steady, his gaze unwavering.Evelyn sighed, moving in the direction of the sitting room while gesturing for Eli to follow her.” I and your father, if you still consider us that decided to use it to train you through school, and then set up a business for you, but after you left, we didn’t have the conscience to keep holding on to the money, we had thought of giving it up for charity but we realized it wasn’t ours to give, so we decided to lock it and kept hoping you would show
