Chapter Nineteen
Without waiting to think, Eli barged into the house to see his clothes sprawled on the floor and the only good box he had getting cleaned and packed to be sold.“What's going on Elara?” His voice shook as his eyes moved from his things to Elara.“Where have you been Eli?- I tried reaching you several times but you weren't answering, I was so scared Eli, I thought something bad had happened to you.” Elara answered instead, moving closer to where Eli stood.“What do you think you are doing Elara? - don't go near him, who knows what germs he has gone to pack from outside and is now trying to distribute to you.” Selvia spoke with so much disgust, shifting farther away from Eli.“I am sorry I didn't call or pick your calls, I was just in a position I couldn't.”“What situation Eli, tell me what situation it was that you disappeared for days without letting me know.” Elara's voice broke.“Can I explain everything to you inside Elara, you have got to trust me.”“No Eli, I would like for you
Chapter Eighteen
Eli had ended up staying a day more at Selene’s house, she had given him a house tour, she had also driven him round to city streets in a bid to convince him to assume his identity as an Aurelius.He had seen the will, seen the wealth he now possessed, but he wasn't sure he was ready to sacrifice his safety and that of his wife because of money, besides Selene had promised his life was going to improve whether he took over Aurelius or not. If someone was willing to go through numerous lengths to see the will, what other things would they do to him if he decided to take over Aurelius, worse what were they going to do to his wife, he had seen incidents where such things happened, going after the person they loved just in order to get to him.He wasn't ready to sacrifice the love of his life -Elara just for power and money.“You really aren't going to take over Aurelius?”“Selene?” “Alright, Alright, I promised to give you time to think about it, but remember it isn't just Aurelius you

Eli nodded subtly, taking in the details of the hotel a final time as he followed Selene. He felt a sinking feeling in his chest remembering how he had enjoyed his stay and might not get such experience again in a while.Selene noticed his sullen expression, a slight smile passing across her face.They finally got to the garage after so many turns and elevators. Eli wondered how he hadn't noticed it before, remembering that he had been drugged to get here.“The guests that come here do not own cars?” Eli asked, surprised at the empty garage, safe for a car that he couldn't quite place from the distance.“Oh, no, this is a private garage for the Aurelius immediate family members.” A slight chuckle in her tone as she responded.“I have been the only person using it since Leonhart and Amarielle’s ….” Selene's voice cracked, not completing her sentence.“You could also use it if you decide to pay the hotel a visit.” Selene continued.“I have not said anything about taking over Aurelius.“
Chapter Sixteen
Eli woke up the next day feeling refreshed ,his mind trying to recall when he had last slept this well and coming up blank. The bed had been soft, the lighting had been adjusted to help him sleep better, the air was clean with no particles in between, the environment had been quiet with nobody yelling at him and telling him what wrong he had done again, and the bed was big enough for him to roll in every direction. The only problem was that Elara wasn't there and so he had no one to cuddle up to, but that was not enough to change the fact that the night before had been the best he could ever ask for.He stood up from the soft king sized bed, stretching his back muscles and heading to the bathroom that Selene had directed him to through a message. He had woken up the night before, feeling pressed and wondering how he was going to locate the toilet, leaving him no choice but to text Selene when he could no longer control himself.He took off his robe, testing the temperature of the wat
Chapter Fifteen
Stay at the hotel tonight, tomorrow you will be taken back home.” A message from Selene came in on the phone he had just been given.He stared at the message while looking at the phone which lay in his palms wondering why he held on to it and contemplated smashing it on the ground, but the bodyguard who had appeared from nowhere and was now following closely behind him, gave him a threatening look, sending chills down his spine, leading to him aborting the thought.His mind went to Elara, wondering what he was going to tell her and his reason for not returning home. To be honest, the thought of spending the night in the hotel didn't seem like a bad idea at all, as he was going to go have one night without hearing Selva’s nagging and shouting, but he didn't want to make Elara worry.At the same time, he couldn't contact her to tell him where he was because he didn't feel like he could tell her about Aurelius yet, not until he was certain about his information on Aurelius.Eli made his
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
