The Mayor's Second Wife The Discovery
Elijah waited in the car as Jennifer wore her shoe. He watched her keenly, his eyes following her every movement.She lifted her eyes and saw him waiting in the car, then started to run towards it, so as not to waste his time. Her shoe, however, wasn't properly working just yet, causing her big toe to catch in it making her lose stamina. She reeked forward, just before she got to the car.Elijah opened to the door, but he was too late, and she fell right on her knee."Jennifer. Are you okay? Where does it hurt?" He came down to where she was on the floor, holding her knee."It is just a slight bruise." She said, trying to stand. He helped her up, but she was limping, so he held her back."Stop. Just wait." She obediently stopped walking. He went down and propped her knees comfortably on his hands, then carried her bridal style into the car."Thank you." She said, adjusting the knee length dress."Look at that. Elijah himself carrying a woman? It is unheard of." Stephanie stood in fron
The Mayor's Second Wife Another Discovery
"Is something wrong?" Elijah asked, as Jennifer went blank, her eyes filling with tears. "Jennifer," He said, shaking her gently. "Are you alright? What's wrong? Why are you crying?""Elijah," Mr. Morrison said. "I think it's best if you take her to your room. She must have been shocked by what she heard."Elijah nodded and without hesitation picked her up, cradling her in his arms. He walked to their room, where he gently placed her on the bed, then sat beside her. She was saying nothing, just crying hard, her hand covering her face."Let me get you some water." He wasn't sure how he could comfort a crying woman, especially when he didn't know the reason, so he thought it would be best to offer her water.He stood up and turned to leave, but Jennifer held the coat he was wearing back, as she sat up."What's wrong, Jennifer? Why did you suddenly start crying?"She sniffs. "My sister, Elijah.""What happened?" He asked, coming back to sit. She looked like she preferred his company to
The Mayor's Second Wife Looking Forward To It
Jennifer felt a little faint. Does that mean there is not just one person but a lot of victims? She turned to look at Elijah who looked just as surprised."Will we be able to get a DNA test?" Ivan asked."It will take some time. We can't rush it."Elijah nodded. "Keep me informed, but..in case of the media, please don't disclose the fact that there is more than one victim. Just tell them it is indeed human."The doctor nodded. "The bones are that of a woman also. A mature woman. The pelvic bones are wider, so it is definitely a woman."Elijah nodded as Jennifer walked out of the office, holding on to the wall."Let's check the site again. There might be more clues, before the media gets to it." Ivan said and Jennifer agreed."I will go with you. I have a keen eye for things like this.""You are not well, Jennifer. Also, I am sure it isn't your sister. Please go back home and I will make sure to keep you updated." Elijah was resolute, and Jennifer didn't argue. She felt like falling, an
The Mayor's Second Wife A New Secretary
Elijah watched with a fascinated expression as Jennifer scurried around the house, getting ready to accompany him to the site.For him, work has always been more of a distraction, and an obligation. He immersed himself so deeply in it, and put in everything he had, to the extent that he didn't even know if he liked it anymore.He never felt particularly nice and giddy about going to work. Or had any thing special to look forward to.Today however, he felt different. Her excitement was contagious and he felt good about going to the office."I am ready." She said to him. Her hair was falling on both sides of her shoulders and it made him smile."Give me a minute." He told her, then searched for a hair band. "Stay still."He slowly went behind her, then put her hair together, piling it together in his hand. With one swift motion, he put the hair in to the band, making a high ponytail. It wasn't perfect, and some of her hair was loose."I don't think that's right." He said, trying to remov
The Mayor's Second Wife What is This I Am Starting To Feel?
They worked in silence, Elijah sneaking small glances towards Jennifer who was completely focused. She worked so passionately, and maybe because it was because she felt directly affected, but he found it weirdly attractive.The way she slightly parted her lips as she went over the names, the way her hands scribbled quickly over the paper, and the subtle curve of her lashes as she lifted up from the notepad to the file she had propped up against the back of his laptop.They had opted to sit on the floor on each side of the center table. She propped up the files against the back of his laptop, and crossed he legs under her. Elijah did the same, and he found it comfortable."Anything?" He asked, trying to bring himself out of his own reverie.She looked up, her face solemn. "There is a pattern. And from the pattern, I think we can realize the method used to lure them. I don't think it was forceful abduction, from the pattern I am seeing, I am starting to believe they were lured using fak

Jennifer suddenly opened her eyes, and Elijah moved away from her, awkwardly tucking his hands into his pockets."Were you about to wake me up? Do you need something?" She asked, straightening to a sitting position on the couch.He shook his head. "No, not really. I just...uh...I am going to wrap up here, and then take you home. I will see the Governor over tea later." "Okay. You can just finish up and I'll wait."Relieved, he took in a deep breath and nodded. "I will be quick."He went back to his laptop while she stretched, then stood up to put the pen back in it's case. "You are using the notepad, right?" She asked, and he nodded."I asked Ivan to check it.""Okay, then. Glad I was of help."She waited for him till he wrapped up all the reports he was making, took a few phone calls, and they were set to go."Are you hungry? All you had was breakfast."She shrugged. "I am going home soon, anyway. I think I will be fine."He looked at her and sighed. "Let's go." He said to the drive
The Mayor's Second Wife Elijah Hugs Jennifer
Elijah put Jennifer gently to bed, and tucked her in, then went back to the desk to continue with his work. He has a few cards to check into, and he was going to check the phone number on the cards.There were only five, and he put the numbers into a call search site on his laptop. All five brought up the same name, Williams.He checked the cards. They were all slightly different. But not that he saw it, some had "Mr.Hugh." While others had "Liam Hugh."It rang a bell in his mind, and he put a call across to Ivan."Hello.""Yes sir?""The name of the contractor for the suburban area residential homes...what is his name again?"Ivan took a second before he answered. "Mr. Williams hugh. He was brought back and is still in jail awaiting evidence.""He is? Alright then. Thank you." He hung up and looked at it. No matter how he tried to check, Mr. Williams hugh was definitely connected to glory bar and the missing girls. All evidence and even circumstances pointed to him.He had built the

"Hey! Inmate 605. You have a letter." The jailer came to the door and threw in the wrapped envelope.Mr. Williams who looked way older than he actually was looked up at him and his brows furrowed."A letter?"The jailer only gave him a scowl as he turned his back to the door.He scowled back, even though the jailer wouldn't see it, and walked to the letter. He stood by the door which was the only source of light and opened the letter."The Mayor is investigating. X." That was the only content of the letter, but Mr. Williams knew exactly what it meant.He shook the remaining contents of the letter, and thousand dollar bills rolled off unto the floor.Going to his knees, he immediately packed them up and pushed them into the envelope, his eyes scanning around.
