The ballroom was filled with people with influential backgrounds and enough food to feed 500 people.

Today was the celebratory event of Natasha Williams, the owner of Natasha Enterprise ,she has really done well for herself that over the course of six years, She managed to build a multi-millionaire empire even though she started this company when she was just 20 years old and now at 26 years, she was one of the most talked about ceo.

Elijah watched his wife Natasha with her guests, and he had a smile on his face. He has always been proud of her, and he was happy that she married him.

Elijah had a glass of wine in his hand and he was taking a sip at a time.

"Isn't that Elijah Smith the husband of Mrs Natasha Williams, how dare he show his face here when he was at home acting like a leech while his wife worked hard to build her empire alone?" A lady who was close by asked her friend.

"I cannot believe that he was with her for six years and did not even help her and now he is trying to rip where he did not so such men have scum that should be divorced," The second lady said and he just shook his head.

The ladies were talking about him ,as if he wasn't here, but he was just two feet away from them and he could clearly hear them.

Elijah just sighed and shook his head ,if only they knew that the success of his wife, he was the one behind it, no one would dare insult him.

Elijah and his wife were college sweethearts and when she opened the company ,he tried to help her and he has tried over the years to work for her, but she refused saying that she wanted to be the only one who would take the credits if her company grows up ,that was why he decided to help her from the background doing everything he could to make her get contracts that now has paid of and she was a multi- millionaire.

Even though his wife doesn't know that he was the one who helped her, he would not tell her because he was happy that his wife was content and the smile on her face seeing that she has finally succeeded brought joy to his heart.

Elijah was still mesmerised with his wife's dress, and admiring how it fitted her and her curvy body, he bit his lower lips, when someone came and tapped a hand on his shoulder and he turned around to see Henry , a popular bachelor who has told him many times he was not in the same league with his wife.

Elijah clenched the glass in his hand ,but Henry's eyes were not on him, it was on his wife who was talking to her guest.

"Isn't she such an amazing woman, in just six years she managed to build a company up from scratch and make it into a multi millionaire empire,” Henry said as his grip on Elijah's shoulder tightened and he was digging his nails into Elijah's skin , causing him a little discomfort.

“Don't you think that such a woman deserves a loving and supporting husband, not the man who just stays at home washing dishes?" Henry asked with a condescending tone, as he turned to look at Elijah removing his hand from his shoulder.

"Oh my God! do my makeup look good, it is Mr Henry, oh he looks so dashing today!" One of the ladies insulting Elijah earlier exclaimed and he had to hold back from rolling his eyes.

The ladies who were insulting Elijah gushed over Henry's beautiful appearance and Henry turned to them and waved.

"Hello ladies," He smiled and they gasped in shock.

"He waved to me, Mr Henry waved to me," She was so happy.

"You see how I could easily make the ladies happy with just a smile, but even though you stay by your wife's side every day the only thing that you manage to do is to be a nuisance to her," Henry said in a condensing tone with a smirk on his face.

Elijah knew that he had to leave this place or step away from Henry or else he would not stop, so he turned to Henry.

"Thank you for dropping by to talk with me. I'll be on my way then," Elijah told him and wanted to walk away but Henry grabbed his shoulder ,again this time digging his finger harder hoping to leave an injury.

Henry's face was filled with anger ,as he didn't want to lose face, "Hey don't you dare walk away from me when I am not done talking!"

Elijah did not like how Henry was gripping his shoulder so he just took his hand and pushed it away, but Henry being the weak man he was, stumbled and crashed on a waiter holding a tray of wine and they both fell,ruining Henry's white suit and everyone turned to gasp in shock.

"How dare you push me down!" Henry's voice thundered, as he got up from the floor, his white suit now turned red from the wine and Natasha, hearing the commotion, ran towards the direction that it was happening and stopped to see both of them.

"How can a man be as weak and as light as a paper? I just pushed your hand away, and you fell down. What is wrong with you?" Elijah asked him ,because he could not comprehend how a grown up man could fall from just getting his hand pushed away .He didn't even use too much force.

Henry's face became red with embarrassment and anger because many people saw what happened and saw that Elijah lightly pushed him , so Elijah was making him lose face.

"You didn't lightly push me, you wanted to punch me that was why I stepped back and I crashed into the waiter!" Henry yelled in his defence trying to save his face, as people we are now watching the whole thing.

Natasha rushed to Henry's side.

"Mr Henry, I am really sorry for this please go with one of the bodyguards they will get you something to change into," Natasha told him but Henry wasn't ready to let this go, because Elijah just humiliated him in front of many people and in front of Natasha who he was trying to woo.

"I cannot let this go so easily,I am going to sue him in court and get the police to arrest him for assaulting me," Henry said to Natasha and Natasha did not want to escalate this matter, so she turned to Elijah.

"I know very well that I told you not to cause any problems here today ,but you would never listen to me ,please just apologise to him let us put this matter behind us," Natasha told Elijah.

"I don't know why Henry is so weak, but he was grabbing my shoulder and digging his fingers into it ,then I pushed this hand away and he fell, I have no reason to apologise to him," Elijah said in his defence ,because the last thing he was going to do is apologise to a man who has been hitting on his wife and telling him he wasn't good enough for his wife.

"You lying bastard! You know that is a lie! You tried to punch me! Guards come here quickly!" Henry yelled out ,because the last thing he wanted was Natasha to think that he was a weak man who could not defend himself from a little push.

Just as Henry instructed, three of his guards rushed towards him.

“Mr Henry's, please let us not escalate this matter Elijah apologised to him let this be the end of this, you cannot afford to offend Mr Henry, because both of you are not on the same level,” Natasha, his wife, told him to apologize.

“So you believe another man over your own husband?" Elijah asked in disbelief because she was turning a blind eye to his complaint and was even on Henry's side, not his side as her husband.

“Mr Henry has no reason to lie," Natasha replied.

Elijah scoffed, "so you think I have a reason to lie?"

"Elijah just stop making things difficult and just apologise," Natasha said in annoyance as she stomped her foot on the floor.

"Is it true that Mrs Natasha and Mr Henry are in a relationship?" One of the ladies asked her friend.

"I don't think it's true," The second lady replied.

"If it is not true then why did she defend Mr. Henry and not even listen to her own husband?" The first lady asked and Elijah clenched his fists, it has always been this way.

  • Chapter 13: What did I do?

    Part of Elijah thought that maybe Mr. Jordan was not lying. But the next day, Elijah was served with court papers, Mr. Jordan had taken him to court for suspending him without reason. The court date was set for a week later. Apart from that, Mr. Jordan had gone on social media to inform the public that after Elijah returned to the office, he had kicked out an old man who had stayed in the company longer than Elijah had even been alive.He was ranting online and crying to anyone who would listen. Elijah didn’t want to engage. He didn’t want to reveal his cards before court, because if he did, Mr. Jordan would find a way to deny it or twist the story. So, he kept quiet, even though people online insulted him for supposedly disrespecting Mr. Jordan.Elijah was in his office, still gathering the evidence he needed against Mr. Jordan, when his phone rang. It was Olivia Blake. He paused his work, picked up the phone, and swiped to answer, smiling the moment he heard her voice."Good mornin

    After the meeting, Elijah and his assistant CEO, George, went back to his office. He had asked George to accompany him because he needed to inquire about company matters that had happened in his absence.They walked into his office. Elijah sat down on the couch and gestured for George to sit. George followed and sat beside him, looking uneasy.Elijah sighed, eyes on his friend. "Can you just explain to me what happened now? Because Mr. Jordan disregarded everything I said and just left the conference room as if I could not do anything to him. Is this how he behaves?" He asked this with a serious tone, wanting to be sure. If what he suspected was true, Elijah knew he needed to find a way to remove Mr. Jordan from the company.George hesitated, glancing away. The last thing he wanted was for Elijah to get into any arguments so soon after his return. But he also knew Elijah wouldn't stop until he got the truth.George sighed and looked at Elijah. “This is how he has been behaving. Even

  • Chapter 11: Old man can't take what he dishes out

    The next day, Elijah was in his office, smiling happily as he finished signing a contract. He handed it to his lawyer, who took it with a nod and excused himself, leaving the office to get the document approved immediately. He knew that when he contacted her involved with his ex-wife Natasha to withdraw from her company, they would do so. And they had.They had begun pulling out and confirmed that they had terminated their contracts with her company. Elijah's smile widened. Some of them even refused to accept the termination fees he offered to give back to them. They told him it was the least they could do for him. Elijah knew they were trying to build a good relationship with him, and it was working.The contract he had just signed and handed to his lawyer was for the purchase of Mr Godfrey’s shares in Natasha’s company. He had bought them quietly. Mr Godfrey was one of the major shareholders, and now Elijah had those shares in his hand. Since Natasha had said she could do a good j

  • Chapter 10: Ungrateful woman.

    Even though Natasha did not want to ask, she still needed to know what happened."What is it?" Natasha asked, her voice low and full of fear.She gulped as she watched him.Her assistant CEO dropped the phone ,as if the world had ended and just looked at her with dull eyes."Mr Godfrey has called. He said that he wanted to stop working with us and end our partnership," the assistant CEO informed Natasha.Natasha stood up from the couch, her legs slightly shaking.Mr Godfrey was one of the major shareholders in her company ,if he leaves the company, who is he going to sell his shares to?She didn't have the money to buy it. Natasha shook her head in disbelief, not wanting to accept that Mr Godfrey would leave her company. He had always helped her whenever she needed assistance. Now that she thought about it, it seemed Elijah was also behind Mr Godfrey’s continued support all along."Anyone but Mr Godfrey. You know that he is a well known figure in our company. He's one of the major s

  • Chapter 9: The investors are cancelling the contracts.

    Elijah watched Natasha leave his office, and he clenched his fist.Deep in his heart, he promised himself that this woman would suffer for everything she had made him pass through, and he would make sure to destroy everything she had built using his name.Elijah sighed as he went to sit back on his chair. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number."Good morning, sir, what can I do for you?" a voice answered."Good morning. I want to inform you that I am breaking off all communication with Miss Natasha of Natasha Enterprise. You know I asked you to help her before. I want you to take back every help you have offered her. It is your choice if you want to continue working with her, but just know that if you work with her, then in the future, it might cause problems for us," Elijah informed the man on the other end of the line, his voice firm and calm.The man was silent for a second, then replied, "Mr. Smith, the only thing you need to tell me is what to do, and I’ll do it. The only

  • Chapter 8: I will succeed without your help.

    Elijah was in his office, typing on his laptop with one hand and sipping a cup of coffee with the other when he heard a knock on the door. His secretary stepped in and informed him that one of the security guards needed to speak with him. He gave a brief nod and told her to let the guard in.“Sir, Mrs. Natasha, your ex wife is in front of the company building and she said she has something important to discuss with you,” the security guard said, shifting nervously as Elijah glanced up at him and then looked back down at the floor.Elijah calmly took another sip from his cup before replying.“Did I not tell you that if she comes here, you should send her away?” he asked, his tone cold.“Yes, you did, sir, but she said it was a very important discussion,” the guard answered hesitantly.“And what does she want to tell me?” Elijah questioned, his eyes narrowing.“She says she is pregnant and she wants to talk to you. That was the only reason I came here,” the security guard added quickly,

  • Chapter 7: Revenge is sweet.

    Nothing was sweeter than revenge and making sure that people who lied against you knew that you would reveal their lies.Elijah could not stop smiling after he saw how Henry was looking at him as if he was some type of ghost, and Natasha was looking at him as if she regretted ever listening to anybody and divorcing him. But now,it was her own loss.“You seem happy. Was it because you put your ex-wife in her place?” Olivia asked him, since she had been observing him for a while and noticed he was smiling to himself. Elijah turned to her with an arched eyebrow.“Well, there is some type of joy that you get in your heart when you finally put someone in their place after all the lies. I think I am done with that. Let us not discuss anything concerning her. How are you doing? I hope you are not too shaken up about what happened that day?” Elijah inquired, leaning forward slightly as he looked into her eyes with genuine concern.He had made sure to stay there until she got to the police saf

  • Chapter 6: Why did Mr Smith cancel the contract?

    After another week, Natasha was facing a crisis. The project that she was supposed to start working on, which she needed the money for and she was going to get it from the contract, had to be put on hold. She could not find a way to contact Mr. Smith, and Henry told her that Mr. Smith refused to talk to him about anything concerning her because she had offended him. He refused to say how. But then, the moment of salvation came when Natasha was told that CEO Smith of Smith's Group was having a get-together. After seven long years of silence, he wanted to get to know everybody in the business world. All CEOs were invited, as long as you could show that you had a company doing well, you were welcome.Natasha, on that day, dressed her best in a red dress that stood out. It was off-shoulder, with a slit in the front, and it hugged her body so tight it showed off all her curves. From what she had heard, Mr. Smith was not yet 30 years old and still a single man. So she still had a chance to

  • Chapter 5: How did I offend Mr Smith

    After a week, Natasha was in her office going through some files when her assistant CEO suddenly rushed in, looking out of breath."What are you doing here? Why did you just barge into my office?" Natasha asked, narrowing her eyes. She was sure she had told everyone to knock before entering."Natasha, Smith Group ,they've decided to cancel the second contract they gave us!" her assistant CEO announced.Natasha slammed her hand on the table and stood up."What do you mean they decided to cancel the second contract? We did the first one very well! That’s the only reason they gave us a second deal. So what happened? Why did they change their mind?" she asked, in confusion."I don’t know what happened," he replied nervously. "But I was just called now and informed that the contract has been canceled. What should we do?"Without wasting time, Natasha picked up her phone and dialed the number of George, the assistant CEO of Smith Group. He was also a good friend of Elijah.After a few rings
