Elias had gone out making sure to leave his fiancee in the house.
He had met up with his second in command so he could track Gehazi.
Elias had a feeling Gehazi was very much alive and had something to do with Esther's accident.
He sighed.
His thoughts were constantly filled with Esther.
Arranged marriage or not, he really liked her. He was starting to fall in love with her.
She made him question himself.
She put him in situations he didn't know he could find himself in.
Esther challenges him.
"Baas, we found something", Mecha said.
"Speak", Eli replied with gum in his mouth.
"Dead ex is alive. He wants empress back".
Elias sighed. As much as he suspected it, he didn't want it to be true.
He knew Esther would go running back into his arms if she found out.
Why was she so obsessed with him anyway?. What could this guy really have on her to make her be so much in love?, Elias thought to himself.
"Find him", he finally said as he tapped his fingers on the table.
"Actually he came to us".
Elias fingers stopped abruptly as he looked up slowly.
"What?".
Mecha cleared his throat as he walked two steps backwards in fear.
"He wants you to let go of her while he's asking nicely".
Elias scoffed.
"Or else what?".
"He said you should be more worried about your kids", Mecha said slowly.
Elias knew the gravity behind those words.
Gehazi was threatening him.
A psychopath was threatening to kill his children and take his fiancee.
Elias blew the gum in his mouth.
"Nigga really wanna do this".
Mecha nodded.
Elias relaxed in his chair.
Then he smirked before speaking up.
"Esther is mine now".
"What should we do?" Mecha asked.
"Nothing. Let the rabbit wake the sleeping Lion".
"Didn't wanna bother you with this but some cash is missing, not much tho", Mecha said.
"Again?", Elias groaned.
"Yeah, i think it's those young blood we just hired".
Elias knew Mecha was lying.
"Then look for proof and tell Ali to personally carve out their eyes and cut off their fingers", Elias said slowly, staring at Mecha.
Late at night after work, Elias knew Esther was still mad at him and was probably still awake waiting to yell at him so he decided to go grab a drink.
He strolled casually down the streets.
Suddenly, he heard someone scream.
Elias decided to ignore it. It was night, the wolves were out to get prey.
