Seventy-one. Suspicion

Seventy-one. Suspicion

Ezekiel clenched his fists and opened his mouth to speak. Ezekiel arched a brow at his actions.

"Kim, talk!", he said his voice calm but commanding.

"I got a lead on someone", Kim said.

Ezekiel arched a brow. "Who?"

"A man that goes by the name, Silas Grams".

Ezekiel leaned into his seat. "Kim, I'm being really patient right now. Give me your report!", he commanded in a voice that wasn't so loud but the subordinate found it menacing.

"Silas Grams lives in the western part of Moon country beside the ocean. He has a fifteen years old grandson who goes to Milanos High school".

Ezekiel nodded. "I believe this has a connection with what I told you to find".

"Absolutely Boss", Kim replied and continued. "He was the one who brought Miss Walls to Winter walls at the age of eight".

Ezekiel felt his heart palpitate. What does this mean? Lily also went missing at the age of eight. Twelve years ago.The suspicion of Monalissa being Lily made his heart break in thousand pieces... If Monalissa was Lily, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself but on the other hand, it didn't seem possible. He squelched the thought and looked Kim.

"Silas Grams...you said he lives at the oceanside yeah?", he asked

"Yes Boss. I have sent people to have him brought to Sun city".

"In three days. Bring him to me", he said his voice a deadly ice, which made Kim shiver within but still tried his best to maintain his composure.

"Yes Boss".

Elena was already done with parking her items. It was dusk by the time she was done. This was because she went shopping, did her facials and hair with her nails. She didn't want to pale in comparison to Hera Lakewoods.

When she returned to Elijah's abode, she met him seated on the couch with a glass of whiskey in his left hand, while a stick of cigarette was in his right.

"Eli, I'm home", she said in a cheerful voice. The nanny who Elijah already brought home, came forward and took the items from her.

"You're done?", Elijah asked after puffing out a thick smoke.

"Yes darling. Tell me, how do I look?", she asked with a sensual smile.

"An ocean of allure", was all Elijah said. However, Elena knew that he has given her the most beautiful praise. This was the best thing he had said to her about her appearance. Without much thought, she leaned forward and gave him a deep kiss, taking in the smoke from the cigar in her own mouth. The taste of his mouth plus the taste of smoke combined sent her mind flying and she reached her tongue deeper for more. She needed more. They hadn't made out for some days now thanks to his quest for Monalissa's presence. She paused in between the kisses and met his eyes.

"Eli... I want you", she said.

This was a fee pass for Elijah because he quickly dropped the glass of whiskey and cigar on the table and immediately grabbed her to wrap her legs round him.

"Elena... I have missed you", he said his voice a husky tone.

This statement brought tears to Elena's eyes and she felt so many sweet emotions in that instant. He missed her. He told her that he missed her! She hugged him tightly while Elijah caressed her back sending a sensual message to her senses.

They broke the hug and immediately engaged in a heated kissing session unaware of the fact that they were no longer the only ones in the room. Little Noel was standing on the staircase watching them. He didn't like Miss Elena so well and this was one of the reasons. She likes his uncle. Uncle should have gotten that pretty big sister.

"Uncle", he called when he alighted the last stair. That tiny voice caused an abrupt and awkward separation between Elijah and Elena. They were shocked when they heard the little one's voice. Their faces were twisted in sheer embarrassment.

Elena got off quickly and straightened her clothes while Elijah swallowed hard and faced his nephew.

"Noel, what are you doing here? Are done sleeping?"

Noel nodded. "I want you to help me with my homework", the little boy said sweeping the urge of asking him what they were doing some minutes ago down the drain.

Elijah nodded and walked to where he was standing. "Alright my boy. Go and get the homework. Uncle will help you. Also, you'll have to tell uncle about school today, ok?"

Noel finally smiled. "Yes uncle. I will go and get it", he said and took the stairs again.

When he was out of their sight, the duo heaved a heavy sigh. Elijah turned to Elena who was standing in front of the side table where the whiskey and cigar was. She was trying to hide it from Noel.

"I'm so sorry about that Elena", he said.

Elena chuckled and waved it off. "Also, don't drink these when Noel is around. He's still a child", she cautioned. She fixed her legs into her slippers and was about going upstairs.

"Elena", he called.

Elena turned and looked at him. "Yes Eli?"

" Good luck at Cee country. I will drive you to the airport".

Elena smiled brightly and rushed to his side giving him a quick peck on the lips. "Thanks Eli". That said, she raced upstairs to her room.

Noel finally came down, and Elijah was engaged in helping him in his homework.

At the Alpha Realm.

Monalissa and Milky were already done with the tour and the duo were sipping from a cup of iced coffee while sitting down at the verandah.

"Thanks for the tour", Monalissa said.

Milky smiled. "No need. I was obeying orders", she said.

"I know but still I'm grateful for that", Monalissa said again.

Milky nodded. While on the walk with this assassin girl, she seemed to like her even though she was their Boss's enemy. What was even more surprising was, the fact that Monalissa was crippled but her aura was still filled with strength. Milky instantly developed respect for Monalissa in her heart. Perhaps if Monalissa wasn't crippled, she would have even paled in comparison to her?

"What's your relationship with my boss?", Milky asked striking a conversation.

"Your Boss?", Monalissa asked as though she didn't hear Milky's question.

"Yes".

"He's my master and I'm his slave", she said.

Milky smirked at her. "Really now? A slave that makes his master lose composure? One that kisses him?"

Monalissa smiled awkwardly. "Yeah. Am that kind of slave. Milky, that would be a discussion for some other time".

"When?", Milky asked.

"Some other time", Monalissa said and continued sipping from her drink. Milky smiled and drank hers too.

Their free time came to an end and Milky went back to work while Monalissa went to Ezekiel's office. The latter was having a talk with someone on the phone when he saw a head poke through the small opening made by the door. Monalissa had opened the door a little and put her head through it.

"Master", she called with a bright smile. The whole room seem to lit up when she smiled and Ezekiel couldn't be more awed. He gestured for her to come in and she did. She sat down on the couch and waited for him to be done with his call.

The call finally came to an end and get faced her. "Tour ended?", he asked his face in a little frown trying to look unconcerned.

Monalissa didn't mind and went ahead to talk about their tour. She went on and on making various expression which Ezekiel found very cute. He didn't want to interrupt as he embbed all her expressions in his mind.

When she was done talking, she asked, "Master, is there anything that Monalissa could help you with?"

"None. None at all", he said. "Your work is in my study".
