Chapter 5

The next day, Elijah woke up early to deliver the good news to his grammie and grandpops. Also, his boss texted him that someone will help him move so he needed to prepare everything. Well, it's not as if he has so much.

Elijah only has one duffel bag containing five shirts, two pairs of pants, three pairs of socks, two boxers, Ryzel's jacket, and one faded pair of shoes. He also put the two picture frames in the bag along with his nanny's diary. He also stuffed his medicines inside. His medicines are a must. Something bad will happen to him if he forgot to drink it.

Elijah heaved a deep sigh and wistfully touched the rose medallion around his neck. It was given to him by his nanny before he escaped, along with the diary. It contained everything Elijah needed to know, and inserted in between the pages was the letter from Elijah's mom.

Elijah scanned his eyes around his small room and let out a small smile. At the very least, this run-down apartment was able to provide him shelter from heat, rain, and snow. He would always choose this apartment over the basement.

Elijah headed to the bathroom for his bath and was thankful that the water was running properly. Maybe, the apartment was being kind to him in his last minutes staying here.

After his bath, Elijah wore what he called his "going away" shirt because it was less faded than the others. It was a blue graphic shirt with a snoozing kitten drawn in front. He paired his shirt with his good pair of jeans. He slipped on his faded shoes and took a deep breath.

New place, new chapter.

One of the reasons why Elijah was hesitant to accept his boss's offer was because it was too good to be true. An apartment and an allowance to boot, on top of being hired? However, Elijah dismissed it. Stefan Alexandrei looks like a good man.

Maybe, it was one of the perks of being their employee. His boss also said that Elijah's application was approved, so Elijah accepted after some thought. It may be one of the reasons why many people were vying for the position he was applying for. Elijah was just grateful that his boss decided to give him a chance.

Elijah picked up the phone from his bed and smiled when it was only seven in the morning. Aside from his bag and his person, there was nothing else that Elijah would carry with him. After all, he was not able to buy any items because he had no money for them.

With his bag on his right, Elijah stepped outside his home and filled his lungs with air. He needs to work hard to continue his search for Ryzel. His brows furrowed when he saw the same muscled man from the club.

Is he lost? That's the only reason Elijah can find as he walks towards the giant man. The giant was dressed in all black, and Elijah can't help but question the man's fashion statement. Suddenly, Elijah's eyes widened when realization dawned on him.

"Mister Giant! Mister Giant!"

Grayson Andrews, one of the trusted security details of Stefan Alexandrei and head of security of Enchaines, turned to the little fella who was running towards him with a huge smile on his face.

"Mister Giant? What the f--" Grayson bit his bottom lip to stop himself from swearing.

His boss reminded him never to taint the boy's innocence with bad words. His mission was to safely transport Elijah Thompson back to the boy's new residence after Elijah bid his goodbyes to the old couple.

Stefan took it upon himself to have Grayson guard Elijah because of what Elijah texted him last night. Elijah felt like someone was staring at his back, but was gone immediately.
