Twenty Four

"Ha, you landed on my house. Pay me 60" Silas cried. Elijah reluctantly handed him the piece of paper and rolled his eyes

"You're a cheat,"

"Your turn, mom," Silas handed Maria the dice. She glanced between the three boys and rolled the dice.

It was an 8. She moved the piece along the board, landing on Bond Street. "I'm buying that,"

At the same moment, the doorbell rang. They all looked around, Elijah began counting the people in the room. "Are we expecting someone?"

"I am," Silas answered

Elijah nodded to one of the butlers to open the door.

The butler returned with Nicole and Diana. He glanced her then his younger brother

"Are you stalking me? First the mall, now my house,"

Diana couldn't reply.

"I invited them," Silas said. "Nicole's my friend, and you're working with her,

Diana, who had composed herself very carefully tonight, was not expecting to see Elijah MacArthur shirtless with his 6 pack and his perfect abs over his toned body. She lost so sense of rationale as her eyes landed on him. So much for composure

Those back muscles

He didn't even realize how good he looked in just shorts

She snapped herself out of it, scanning around the room. Maria ordered the boys to clean up as she made space for them to sit down. "Elijah, why don't you go wear a shirt?" Maria said

"Right," Elijah nodded, realizing he was pretty much naked. Well, he had shorts that only went to his knees. The rest of him was on display, and he noticed her shameful stares. As he headed up the stairs, he threw a wink and had her blushing

'What was wrong with me?' Elijah thought. I wasn't usually like this. She was messing with my head

Elijah went up to his room as he got an incoming call from Charlie

"Hey Charlie,"

"Hey Elijah, how are you man?"

"I'm good, how's the family?"

"We're all good here," A couple moments of silence passed as Elijah asked, "Have you heard of Diana Frost?" He asked

"Yeah, the successful businesswomen, right? Her father is a big shot upstate," Charlie said

"Well, she's in my house,"

"Oh no, let's call the police." He chuckled. "What's the big deal?" Charlie asked

"Everywhere I go, she's there. It's weird and now my home. She's a stalker," He sat down on the bed

"Or it's a coincidence. You're thinking too much of this. Wait... how did she get into your house,"

"Silas invited her. Her sister is friends with him. My point is I don't like her. There's something off about her,"

"Well, do your research. We both know everyone has skeletons in the closet,"
