The Marvelous Elijah's Return Peach doesn't deserve that
The living room of the Hayes mansion was quiet, until Dean walked into the doorway, and saw his mother, reading a newspaper.Shutting it, Madam Jewel watched the look of disappointment on his face and then asked, “Why do you look so dejected?”Sluggishly, Dean shrugged and sat down on the couch opposite his mother, before speaking again, “Elijah got nothing to lose!”Those words made Madam Jewel raise her eyebrows in shock, and she put down her paper to give her son an incredulous look. “After waiting one week and expecting an answer, is that all Vlad has to report?! What kind of nonsense background investigation is that!” Madam Jewel questioned, looking at her son with disdain. “Well, he did his job, but no one in the country seems to truly know who Elijah is... except it's related to Melina or rumors about him and Peach. He has no work history, no family or friends, and he doesn’t seem to even go to school or college...” Dean said, trying to figure out how else to explain the situ
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Your word is law
At three o’clock on a warm Wednesday, one after another, flashy cars started driving into the yard of the Hayes’ and family members started arriving for the family meeting.And by four o’clock, a black Range Rover pickup rolled into the yard, and when it came to a stop, Josh and his wife, Iris stepped out, her holding onto his arm.“Do you know why grandma wants everyone here again,” Iris whispered as her husband led her towards the mansion. But he was too moody to care and answered her questions because Madam Jewel lashed out at him the day they got back from the motel, and his anger was still fresh, even though it was days ago.The sound of a car engine made Josh stop to see a Porsche 356 GTi, coming to a halt right next to the Land Rover.When the driver door opened, Melina stepped out, wearing a dress, which hugged her curves in a very revealing way, frowning at her brother because she was still mad at him. “Sister-in-law,” Iris cried as Melina approached the couple.The fact t
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A Rat
Running his fingers in his hair, Elijah paced slowly around the room with his phone pressed against his ear as he said, "Yeah, morning, Ryan."As he walked into the room of the hotel suite, Rookie moved his lips to speak, but he froze, staring at Ryan sitting on the edge of the bed when he heard him say, "Boss, week three report,""I am listening," Elijah answered, pausing in the middle of the room. "This week, Bryan Check met up with Mr. Adams, President of the Light world company, Mrs. D'Alencias, CEO of Caelum Technologies, and Mr. David Rossi, chairman of Rossi Industries. We investigated these three for suspicious activity in their businesses, but they are clean..." Ryan said, eyeing Rookie when he sat by him.Allowing those words to sink in his thoughts, Elijah began pacing again as he muttered under his breath, “Clean?”Feeling uneasy by his boss's tone and question, Ryan paused, putting the call on speaker for Rookie to hear, and said, "We have been following Bryan for thre
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A man lives to die
After an hour-plus drive, Elijah pulled into a small clearing. Getting out of his car, Elijah and Matt stared at the old warehouse in front of them, and how deserted this area was."Boss, it's not too late to get back into the car," Matt whispered, gesturing to the car behind them. "I don't think it's safe to walk to the warehouse..."Patting Matt on the back, Elijah smiled and teased, "Grow some backbone, man."'I have a backbone. I'm just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart.' Matt thought to himself, keeping quiet about his concerns. 'I don't want this to go South, boss.'Shaking his head lightly, Elijah pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and stopped at Jerome's number, dialing it without hesitation.The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, "Hey, boss.""I'm outside. Come out," Elijah ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.The line went
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A death wish
There was a long pause as Dice stared calmly at Elijah, his expression blank and emotionless, not breaking eye contact with him."You got some powerful people on your ass," Dice remarked, crossing his arms against his chest, waiting for Elijah's reaction. "Why?"Elijah didn't budge as he stared back at Dice, not saying a word, and he didn't give anything away, nor gave any hint to Dice as to what he was feeling by those words."The Hayes... the rat works for the Hayes family, mainly Dean Hayes." Dice paused again for another second, making sure his words were completely understood. Silently, Elijah eyed Matt, seeing the look of concern and worry etched on his features, and he then shifted his gaze over at Dice.A faint frown surfaced on Rick's lips as he looked at Larry and mumbled, "Didn't the news say that Melina's ex-husband is a worthless stay-at-home husband with nothing to his name except his desire to leech off her wealth, so how is this guy before us the same man on the news.
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Her plans would get ruined
The last time Madam Jewel was here, things quickly escalated, and Peach didn't want to experience it again, and somewhat, she was thankful that Elijah wasn't here since she knew the hostility madam Jewel had toward him. "Sure, but my mom gets to come." Peach said, calmly staring between Madam Jewel and Dean. The thought of being alone with these two made her alert, and she didn't want to face them on her own, knowing their temperaments. "Of course. We came to talk to both you and Grace." Madam Jewel with a sweet smile that made Peach more uneasy. Suddenly, the front door of the motel opened, and Peach felt her heart leap into her throat as she watched Elijah and Matt, walking into the lobby. His gaze resting on Dean, Elijah's brows snapped as he blurted out of curiosity, "What's going on here?" A sense of raw animosity and anger filled Dean's features, keeping steady eye contact with Elijah as he let out, "It's none of your business. Get lost." "The question was not meant for y
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Don't hate me
Eyeing her son, Madam Jewel gave him a cold stare and then said, "No, that's all... I hope that you will honor your word and show up because your grandfather at least deserves such reverence from you."The dull pain in Peach's cheek still pissed her off, but she ignored it as the memories of her grandfather flashed before her eyes, and her lips trembled as she tried to cage her emotions and said, "Sure. For my grandfather, I can tolerate coming."The sight of Madam Jewel and Dean, the longer they stood in her face made Peach feel incredibly uncomfortable, and she blinked back her tears, averted her gaze, and stared down at the invitation."If that is all, I would like to attend to my daughter's wound," Miss Grace said in annoyance, her eyes fixed upon Dean as she continued speaking quietly. "You guys can see yourself out."Unexpectedly, Madam Jewel walked over to Peach, taking her hands in her grips, startling her with the sudden contact that caused her to look at her in surprise.Mad
The Marvelous Elijah's Return He's escaping
The line was filled with Vlad breathing heavily and the sound of cars whizzing by, and then Dean finally heard "Boss, I got kidnapped and was just released on the side of the road with a bruised face, no shoes, and bloody clothes.." Snapping his brows in confusion, Dean looked at his mother, who had a serious expression on her face and was glaring at him as he let out, "What are you talking about?!" "Someone has people watching the motel... I don't know, boss... I don't know who it is... I don't know who the men were or how many they are because I was blindfolded, but they didn't like that I had been snooping around the motel!" Vlad explained, sounding frustrated. A sense of worry and anger welled in Dean as he tried to control the emotions rising inside of him, clenching his fists, he hissed, "What?!... What did you tell them then... huh? Did you tell them who asked you to spy on the motel?!" "No! Of course not, boss. I would never betray the Hayes family like that." Vlad pro
