Chapter 209: Chapter TWO HUNDRED AND NINE:A Trap.
Worried lines were visible on Ezekiel’s face,he wasn’t at peace with the fact that what his dad was trying to do wasn’t the best option right now.
One thing about his dad was that once he made up his mind to do sothing,it would take a whole lot of convincing to change his decision.
But right now,he wasn’t willing to do that,not that he wasn’t aware of what it was going to result in.
But just like he said,this is the right ti for the truth to co to life,and it’s all Elijah’s fault.
The mother fucker doesn’t know what’s about to hit him and his son, Nathan.Elikah has done nothing,but hardened his dad’s heart to go ahead with what he’s about to do.
A press release was about to co to light, which was all William Knights who had adhered to having one,everyone couldn’t wait to hear what the old man had to say about his grandson’s wedding.
They had been what everyone had In mind over the press release he wanted to have,the level of attention the called off wedding had was topnotch.
Ezekiel couldn’t really bla everyone’s interest in why the wedding didn’t co to light anymore,Zaiden had done more than entertained them with the matters of his ex,and right now,Hazel’s another big topic.
He had proved to them that he was madly in love and hooked on the pauper turned princess,just like the netizens labelled her to be.
It is going to be such a huge blow to the face to everyone once Hazel’s identity is out,the girl has luck running on her side.
Pushing her matter aside,he tried to focus on the problems at hand which was his dad that was dressing up for the press release.
Luckily,Elijah was in the sa room but yet he was too dumb to understand what everything was all about,and neither was his dad was willing to tell him either.
So,who was he to spoil his dad’s plans?
Elijah had several opportunities to co clean to their dad,and settle whatever difference he had with him on the matter of his dead mother.
.
Rather,he chose to believe an outsider who claid to be his mother’s brother,over his own father who had done everything not to let this day happen.
Just like the saying that says,"no truth would be left hidden under the sun"it’s definitely not going to day Elijah’s favourite day today.
If not for himself,he should have thought of the huge trauma is going to leave on his son, Nathan.
But his selfishness has caused him this,and he was talking about his nephew who is apathetic?
He doesn’t even know if he would feel triggered about this or not,he had always kept on a cold deanor all through the ti, rendering everyone confused on when exactly he’s in a happy mood.
Yet,the soft and kind side of him couldn’t help but feel bad over what is about to happen.Elijah isn’t the best brother of the year but atleast, he has to show him the difference between the both of them.
"Father,you need to think twice about what you are about to do. ’’Ezekeil stepped in front of his dad, whose secretary was busy getting him dressed.
He only got a stern look as an answer from his dad,it was obvious the old man was tired of getting stumped by Elijah.
It wasn’t going to hurt if he taught him a little lesson to get his mind back to who exactly his father was,but this wasn’t any little lesson.
This is exposing Elijah’s parenthood on National tv,everyone was going to know the truth about his brother,and honestly speaking, it’s going to hurt when he knows what this all was all about.
He should have talked.
He’s William Knight’s son,that’s a privilege alone to get him to ask his dad what’s going on just as he was endeavoring to stop his dad from making a deadly mistake.
His stupid brother should have known that sothing was wrong, and should have persisted in getting information out of his dad.But he rather choose to sit down in a relaxing manner, to watch the drama between him and his dad.
Was this all an act of entertainnt to him?
"Never bite the hand that once fed you Ezekiel,we all know that and yet a greedy fish went on to do that,a little reprimanding wouldn’t hurt "The old man told Ezekeil who’s worried face did nothing to change his mind.
Everything would have all been settled right at this mont,If Elijah had chosen to ask what exactly is going on.
But being so stupid and insensitive to his surrounding, and what is going on around it made him ignorant to what is going.
Yet,the old man couldn’t help but wonder if his nonchalant behaviour was a result
of him ,wanting to see if he had a heart to do what he wants to do.
He’s not stupid.
He should have known by now,what exactly is going on, he’s not a kid!
Even Avery has figured out what is going on with just a single stare at Ezekeil’s face to know that the ti has co,and has left because she didn’t want to witness it.
Had Sophia brainwashed him into believing that his father, can’t do sothing like that?
Was this all a test?
It’s been a while since he saw his dad in action.
It’s been a while, he gets to be so stubborn just like him to do what is on his mind.
"How much ti do we have left?"He asked his secretary.
"Twenty minute stir"His secretary replied,moving away for him to check himself in the mirror.
Age is not on his side anymore,and before he leaves this world he has to put everything in order,if not?
There’s no stopping Elijah, over what he would do more to covet what doesn’t belong to him.
It still fazes him over the reason why he chose to be so greedy,when he has other properties registered under his na,which he knew.
His will was made favourable to everyone of his family mbers, including Sophia who thinks she’s not considered a family mber.
"Father?"Ezekiel persisted.
"Don’t push
to anger Ezekiel Knights,you don’t deserve to beg on his behalf"
He warned.
"Is there sothing i have to know?’’Elijah spoked up for the very first ti, but that was because he was sick and tired of being left in the dark,over what was happening right in front of him.
The satisfied smirk on Ezekeil’s face made it known to the old man that he did this intentionally,he did it to provoke Elijah to suspect sothing fishy.
But that’s all for the best.
Turning to look at the stoic cold face of his son,who was he kidding?
Nathan was just like him.
"You tell
Elijah"
"I don’t understand dad,what’s .."He asked,honestly not getting what is going on.
But it’s very obvious that the conversation was about him, and he was not bothered about it earlier because he hasn’t done anything yet, to raise suspicion towards him aside from secretly selling shares to Cole Henderson.
"Just stop it already Eli we all .."Ezekiel cut into his conversation, but his dad also cut into his too.
"Spare us so minutes Ezekiel ’’The old man told him,while his face was still fixed strictly on Elijah.
He had his knuckles clenched tightly under the table for his brother’s interference,he had no right to show off his superiority in front of their dad.
It’s of no use.
Not when there’s bad news coming their way very soon.They had no right to be smiling,not at all.
"I believe you have sothing to tell
son?"He said,closing the space between them a bit by sitting down in the nearest seat facing him.
Son?
Since when did he consider him his son?
Elijah thought.
Sothing to tell him?
Did he find out?
There wasn’t any possibility that he might have figured out his plans with his uncle right?
He hasn’t been tailing him right?
*I don’t quite understand what you are talking about father,I didn’t know..."
He still chooses to deny it.
He has to face the consequences then.
"We both are adults and we know that there’s no canny resemblance you have with my late wife Kehla..."
"Stop it!"Elijah yelled, halting him even before he started with the conversation,bjt that had been because his phone had beeped in his pockets earlier to notify him that everything was done.
His uncle wasn’t kidding, when he said that he would break his father,and that he just did.
It’s only a matter of ti before..
The door was kicked open, with a worried Ezekiel entering inside with his phone in hand.
"D..dad,there’s being so trouble"
"What do you an som..."His father asked, standing up and his two phone started ringing at the sa ti.
"Hello"He answered,while facing his son’s,anwhile Elijah stood up imdiately with a proud smirk on his face.
"It’s of no use father,just give up already"He said, a cold dark look on his face,while clapping his hands in pure excitent.
This wasn’t the Elijah they knew,rather soone else who looked scarier than Elijah Knights.
"What do you an?"Ezekeil asked, feigning ignorance to what was about to happen.
"Noo!"The old man shouted,his phone falling out of his hands after hearing what just happened at the company, and nearly fell to the ground had it been Ezekeil didn’t go for him.
"Father!"Ezekeil called his dad who had passed out of shock.
"Is he dead?Elijah asked with no single concern on his face.
