Chapter 59

Elijah's POV.

The next day I quickly got ready to find out more about my uncle. I have to know the truth at any cost.

"Where are you going?" He questioned.

"School, did Oliver take his medicine father?" I asked hiding my bag and he nodded his head. "I don't want to be late father, I'll see you later." I quickly left the house in a hurry and got in my car.

I will find out where my uncle is no matter what. I know he is still alive and he is close to me.

As soon as I arrived at the police station I went straight to Moerat's office. I know he hates my family a lot so he wouldn't miss an opportunity to break my family.

"I'm looking for your father." I said to Moerat's son and he started laughing. "Hey." I shouted and he jumped out. "You should be taking me serious asshole, I am Elijah Carson Valentines Black."

"Listen, this is a police station so don't come here with that attitude Mr Carson." He said.

"The only reason why I'm not beating you up is because this is a police station now tell me where is your father?"

"I will on one condition." He replied and I nodded my head. "Give me that beautiful friend of yours, number to me."

"Kaiden, Adrian, none of my friends are gay. But I'll give you their numbers so they can beat you up when you ask them out." I took my phone out.

"I want the girl with the red hair. Annette is her name I think." I grabbed his collar angry.

"Don't even think of going after any of my sisters." I shouted. "And by the way Annette is just sixteen she is too young to date and too young for you."

"Come on Elijah, she's beautiful. You must've fallen for he—" I was about to hit him when someone caught my hand.

"Listen Elijah don't come here and think of hitting my son." Moerat said angry and I let him go. "Now what do you want?"

"I want to ask you something about my family." I started and his son left the room. "Eleven years ago my uncle died and I'm sure you have suspected someone in my family killed him." I continued. "But today I just want to find out if my uncle ever existed."

"You too good to be a Forbes you know but that is what I also thought about your father and uncle when they were kids. Now why are you asking me about your uncle Damien?" He smiled at me.

"Mr Moerat you don't even like my family so why are you taking their side. Why are you lying to me?" I questioned.

"Elijah Carson Black, I promise to tell you everything about your family if you sign something for me." I quickly nodded my head. "Your father and uncle killed so many people but every-time they got away so let's make a deal. You can go to jail for their cr—"

"I'm not eighteen yet." I said interrupting him.

"You are a Carson, everything is easy for you. You can make a fake birth certificate." He told me.

"Fine. How many years will I face?" I can't believe I'm desperate to know about my own uncle.

"Ten if you behave." He answered and I nodded my head. "I'll set the contract, come back tomorrow morning and don't even think of coming up with a plan."

"Relax Moerat, I'll seriously take this deal. Twenty-six is not a bad age." I mumbled before leaving the room.

I went to Aunt Layla's house but she refused to tell me anything. Aunt Stella was the same and Aunt April. I couldn't go to Aunt Charlotte because she would call my father the second I question her so I went to Uncle Carlos's sister. Sometimes I wish Aunt Stephanie was here, I could emotionally blackmail her unlike the others.

"Aunt Carly, my favourite crazy aunt. Only god knows how much I missed you. You know you the best at everything." I started praising her as she opened the door. "Aunt Carly, an angel like—"

"Didn't my brother Carlos, your father and everyone tell you to stay away from me?" She questioned interrupting me. "Just come in Elijah."

"That's more like it." I entered the house. "Anyways Aunt did you cook today. I'm starving and I know you cook better than everyone else."

"I don't even think you ever taste my food." She rolled her eyes.

"Well I heard you cook amazing Aunt that's why I said you the best at everything."

"Elijah what do you want? Do you want me to shoot you?" I know everyone told me not to mess with her but she is really crazier than I thought.

"Aunt Carly, what could I possibly want from you but now that you insist I'll ask for something." I sat on the couch and she raised an eyebrow. Why the hell is she always so serious, I never ever saw her happy. "Aunt do you remember my Uncle Aiden?"

"Do you have an Uncle called Aiden?" She asked and I nodded my head. "Elijah are you having those dreams again? You do know you are imagining you so call uncle. You do not have an uncle called Aiden so please don't ask me a stupid question." She shouted. "Now leave my house unless you want something else." I took my bag and left her house. I will prove that I do have an Uncle and he is still alive with or without their help.

I entered my house and my father was there with sitting on the couch with my mother.

"You didn't go to school today, why?" My father shouted.

"Benji, don't shout at him. I'm sure he has a good reason why he didn't go to school today, right Eli?" My mother smiled at me.

"Of course mother, I have a good reason. I went partying today because school is boring." I told them.

"What did I tell you Sofia? We were worried about him for no reason." My dad said. "You know what Elijah, from today onwards I'll get you a bodyguard. You won't do as you please anymore."

"Dad I'm sixteen not six so stop treating me like a child." I shouted. "I'm tired of Elijah this Elijah that. Do you think I trust my family anymore? Dad I lost trust in all of you, there was a time I believed everything you said to me but not anymore. From today onwards I will stop following your orders. I'll do everything I believe is right and if you want an heir someone to take over your company you have a daughter and another son. I Elijah will never take over dad, I'll become an artist, something that makes me happy."

"Elijah." My mother snapped. "What happened to you? Since when do you talk like that, did they drug you my boy."

"Please mother don't start with me. If You cared just a little for me than you would tell me the truth. I never thought my own mother would be heartless and make me believe I imagined having an Uncle since I was a kid. Day and night mommy, you told me everything is in my head and I trusted you. I never questioned you once." My mother broke into tears and I looked away. I can never see my own parents hurting but they left me with no choice. I'm helpless and desperate to know about my own uncle.

"Just go to your room before I do something I'll regret." My father said and I quickly went upstairs.

Forgive me mom, I know dad cab handle me but you to get emotional over everything.

"Ollie you awake?" I said and he turned away from me angry. "I'm sorry I didn't fetch you from school but mom did."

"You never shout Eli but you today you did. You always said mom and dad are the best and we should never shout at our parents because it's not good."

"Ollie, I didn't mean anything I said. I promise. I just want dad and mommy to tell me the truth. I'm sixteen and yet everyone treats me like a baby. Ollie you believe me when I say we have an Uncle and he is still alive."

"I thought you said he was murdered." Oliver replied.

"I don't believe that anymore. I think someone in our family betrayed him and he left. But anyways I'll find out the truth tomorrow."

"Tell me how Eli or I won't sleep and you know if I don't get enough sleep my heart won't get better."

"Stop threatening me with your own live." I pulled his cheek. "I'll have to go to jail for just ten years I'll be out when I'm twenty six and I'll be there at your graduation, promise."

"Eli dad will kill you. Who did you beat up this time? Why do you have to go to jail? Is our uncl—"

"I'll tell you everything tomorrow now sleep and don't forget everything we tell each other stays between us." I told him and he nodded giving me a kiss.

"Don't forget tomorrow is business awards and Dad wants us to go with him." I hit my hand on my head. How the hell will I do everything now. "Eli, Annette told me she doesn't have a partner for prom night. Didn't you ask her?"

"I'll ask her tomorrow. Now sleep." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and then left his room.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I'll have to send Moerat a message and tell him I won't make it.

Me: I can't make it tomorrow, I have to go with my father to the awards ceremony. Hope you understand, Detective.

I checked my other messages and Annette send me a million messages. Sometimes I wonder what she does in the house other than messaging me.

Me: Anne, I'm sorry you were worried sister but I'll make it up to you. How about a date tomorrow? We will bunk school.

Red: You already did that today Elijah and the teacher wants to talk to you about the DJ for the prom night. Did you even ask your dad if he is paying for the whole night's function.

Me: Fuck it Anne. I fucking forgot about asking my dad to pay for the DJ's and everything else. I didn't even get my dress ready.

Red: Eli how will you get everything ready? Dress?

Me: Suit*

Me: I'll pay everything from my own pocket, how much do you think will be the cost of everything. The DJ's, food, drinks singers. Everything Annette.

Red: A few millions Eli.

Me: You eat a lot Anne and you don't pay five thousand and you want me to pay millions for a night. It won't happen. Most of the people there won't eat anyways, I'll make sure I entertain them and they don't ask for food now tell me how much will it be and forget about the drinks, there will be a tap there. And dessert I'll get them all sweets.

Red: Eli, it's not the food and drinks that is going to be the problem. The teacher said you going to bring ten artist at least and they will all want lots of money because it's a short notice.

Me: Why would they ask money when I'll bring the instruments and I'll give them food. You know Annette no one would even buy you for five hundred thousand and you telling me to spend a few millions on one night. My dad will bury me alive. Now sleep and forget about this. You not good at estimating things.

Red: When will you sleep.

Me: After you go offline. Who do you chat with so late? Your boyfriend?

Red: I was only online. All my friends are asleep, now sleep and see you at the business awards.

Me: Who are you coming with? Mom?

Red: Mom And Grandpa.

I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore so I fell asleep after reading her message.
