What did you do that for.” Eli asked, standing up, while dusting his shirt.The guards looked at him with disgust, turning his head away.Eli smiled silently to himself as he walked up to the cashier. “ I would like to see your manager for compensation for what the security did to me.”“I did nothing to you sir, can you stop trying to push blames?” The security finally spoke, coming to stand beside Eli.“So are you saying, I would fall by myself and destroy jeweleries I used so much amount to get?” Eli asked calmly, looking from the guard to the cashier.“Yes, sir, that's exactly what I think, you probably borrowed the money you used in paying for the jewellery, and this is your perfect plan to get the money back.” The cashier spoke, signalling to the guard to throw him out.Eli noticed the slight movement, quickly dodging the grip of the security, raising his voice as he spoke in order to get the attention of other people in the store.“Treating your customers in this manner isn't so
Chapter Twenty
Eli stared at the magnificent, luxurious house, his gaze landing on the water fountain in the environment, and the private pool at another side, another beautiful thing he noticed was that he could see the ocean from where he stood in the large master’s bedroom.Selene had said the place was beautiful, he hadn't been expecting this beauty.“I hope it's to your liking Elias.” Selene's voice drifted to him as she watched his expression.He swallowed, unable to say anything. This was more than he had dreamt and hoped for, and the best part was that there could be more if he resumed his identity as an Aurelius.“Why can't I have more buildings and homes like this even if I don't resume my identity as an Aurelius?” Eli asked, turning to face Selene, not understanding the logic as to why he needed to take over Aurelius to have a more luxurious lifestyle.“That's because, I believe Mr Elias is an upright man, and he would find it insulting to be given so many things without putting in even a

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
Chapter Seventeen
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
