Chapter 11 - My Enemies Tried to Use Eli Again, but This Time the Wolf Was ReadyYears passed.
Kane went to prison.
The Crowe trust was secured.
I changed my business.
I walked away from the criminal world.
Not immediately.
But slowly.
Because Eli deserved a father who came home every night.
Not a man who disappeared into violence.
I sold several companies.
Closed others.
Invested legally.
And created a foundation for homeless children.
The first shelter was named after Eli's mother.
Anna cried when she saw it.
Eli smiled.
“You built this for kids like me.”
May you like
I nodded.
“So nobody has to sleep behind a dumpster again.”
