Before they could even get a word in, Elysia spoke up, “You know, if you really cared about Elijah, there'd be no need to take him away from my place. He's well looked after with me, and his dad felt comfortable enough to leave him in my care.”
Gideon caught the undertone in her words and narrowed his eyes, “Don't try to scare us with him anymore. He's not coming back.”
“That’s not true. He was just here this morning. He even mentioned he'd bring Elijah to the family mansion tonight for dinner.”
Gideon scoffed, “That's a lie. He's been convicted of murder and sentenced to death. It's just not public knowledge yet. Handing Elijah over to you was his way of ensuring his care.”
Elysia gasped in disbelief, “That's impossible!”
Gideon let Ulysses play a recording, “...He knew the police had video evidence of the murder and that his execution was imminent. He asked Elysia to take care of Elijah, essentially making her his child's guardian. He even started transferring his assets...”
After the recording ended, Gideon said, “That's info straight from the police.”
Elysia held her breath, stunned. How could this be? He had promised to join them for dinner tonight. He seemed so at ease; how could anything have gone wrong?
Gideon bluntly added, “I wouldn't be here claiming Elijah if I wasn't sure of his fate.”
