The Marvelous Elijah's Return I want Elijah and Peach dead
The sound of the doorbell echoing through the house made everyone tense up, especially Peach because by now, they all knew that Elijah's father was visiting.“Mama,” Peach whispered as Miss Grace reached for the doorknob, grabbing onto her mother's arm.“Breathe, honey.” Miss Grace mumbled, twisting the doorknob, and then she pulled it open.Standing on the porch was a pure white-haired man with a casual dress shirt and jeans, and yet, he had this aura of importance, and his presence was commanding as he stared from beneath his glasses a smile tugging on the corners of his lips.Looking over at Peach, his smile widened, and he said cheerfully, “Let me guess, you are Peach?”With a nod, she gave a nervous grin, saying, “Yes, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Maxwell.”His smile faded, and Peach remembered what Elijah said about his dad and him having this thing about his identity, and a sense of worry shot through her.“Ah... I feel guilty that it's my fault my daughter-in-law is
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I am not going to run
When the sound of her room door cracking open echoed in her ear, Miss Grace jumped from her sleep and looked over at her daughter, standing in the doorway. “Peach, honey... It's five am... What's the matter?” Miss Grace asked, sitting up in bed, her voice still raspy with sleep. Pouting, Peach shut the door, walked over to her mother, and climbed into her bed, hugging her. “I am nervous, mama... Not even the internet knows how much he's worth... It was easier when he was just an ordinary man, but now...” Peach trailed off as she held onto her mom. Smiling softly, Grace stroked her daughter's hair, and after a while, she whispered, “Honey, why did you fall in love with Elijah?” “The first time I met him, he was grumpy, but his eyes told me a different story... I could tell he was hurt... Maybe there was something about his wounded soul that made me curious, and then he slowly unraveled his personality...” Peach whispered. Then she raised her head to stare at her mother, mumbli

“Are you sure that you want to go?” Elijah mumbled, watching Peach as she left the bed.Looking back at her husband, Peach smiled softly. “I am just going to pop in and out of the company. I have been feeling a bit restless, and I want to check how things are going there.”Even though Elijah knew that they had capable employees, he could see that Peach was stressed, and he sighed, saying, “Okay.”“Thanks, babe. I will be home before you know it.” Peach replied, kissing him gently on the cheek before leaving for the bathroom.After the door shut behind her, Elijah climbed out of bed and walked over to the window, opening it slightly to look outside. When the sound of their bedroom door opened after three knocks, Elijah turned his gaze away from the window to meet Rookie’s eyes, and his man let out, “Should you be standing up with those wounds?”“The pain is not the same as one week ago,” Elijah said, taking careful steps away from the window. His feet felt heavy on the tiled floor
The Marvelous Elijah's Return He was watching us
Like wildfire, the news about Elijah purchasing Reinvest Co. spread all through the country within just one week of him buying it from Mr. Astor, and as he and Peach sat in the car, he could hear the noise from the reporters outside, their screams and the flashes from the light.Because his ribs were not completely healed yet at that time, Matt, Ryan, and the others had been the ones running things discreetly at the company.But it had been two weeks since the incident, and Elijah was barely in pain anymore, and he could walk just fine and only experience slightly discomfort because his ribs still were not fully recovered.Looking away from the window, Peach rested her gaze on her husband, afraid because he had not gotten “clear” from the doctor yet, and secondly, this was the first time they were going to get seen together with him being a Maxwell.“The reporters can be very pushy. Are you sure your body is about to take such a big strain?” Peach whispered, looking into his eyes fo
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Dead or maybe not...
The feeling of a soft kiss on her bare back made Peach’s lips pull into a smile, and she rolled over to face Elijah, her eyes beaming."Hey, sleepyhead." She grinned as she raffled her fingers through his messy hair, giggling when he groaned and nuzzled closer to her side. Her other hand traced shapes across his chest, and she could feel him shiver at her touch.“Our flights leave in the next three hours… Don’t make us book another ticket.” Elijah whispered huskily, and she laughed again, turning so she was laying on top of him. Her hands moved down to rest on his hips, and she leaned forward, placing small kisses along his collarbones. Then she stopped to take his lower lip between her teeth, smiling against it.“Peach,” Miss Grace's voice drifted through the open door, and Peach froze, looking at the doorway.“Elijah,” Immediately Peach tried to jump off Elijah when she heard his father's voice, but he grabbed her waist, pressing her down against his bare chest.“What are you doing
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The real enemies
Frowning slightly, Elijah knew that the voice belonged to Lawyer Meeks, and yet he was skeptical of the fact that he was alive. A part of him still could not believe it, but the rest of his logical mind seemed to think differently. “How did you survive the fall?” Elijah asked.After dealing with the Hayeses for so long, Elijah knew how tricky and treacherous the family can get to achieve their goals.“I black out during the fall and the next thing I knew, I opened my eyes in a tiny room with this old lady and her daughter, and they had been helping me since then... I can not walk, Elijah. The impact of my body hitting the water with such force injured my spine. I need to get out of the country to seek treatment... If I keep hiding with no proper medical care care, I will die, for real.” Mr. Meeks spoke slowly and he sounded very weak. “What happened that day… the evening the accident took place?” “I want to see your face first… I want to explain things to you in person because I d
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The box
Unmuting his mother’s call, Elijah hastily asked, “Did you talk to doctor Harry to come over and check her up?”“Yes. He's attending to her right now.” Mrs. Maxwell answered. “I just thought you would like to know-”“Thank you, mom, for telling me. I will be on the next flight back home soon...”“You don't-” “Let me call you back.” “Is everything okay? You sound-”“Love you, mom.”After those words, Elijah ended the call, seeing Rick's incoming call, and he immediately answered, “Rick,”“Why is Dice speeding up, boss?” Rick's voice came through the phone, sounding concerned.Subconsciously, Elijah glanced at Dice's speedometer, seeing that it was dangerously close to the limit and then he said, “The hoodie, cap, and glasses at the airport didn't work in my disguise to enter the country without drawing unwanted attention... But it doesn't make sense that someone would know if I am entering Syldavia or when, if... Shit!”“What?!” Rick exclaimed, clearly worried about Elijah's sudden c
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Pardon
The sound of chitchats and laughter of a bunch of old ladies' voices echoed in Elijah's ears as he watched from a distance his mother hugging Peach's arm with a big smile on her face as she introduced Peach to Madam Elle and the other ladies in her book club.“Your daughter-in-law is very pretty, Lisa.” A classic dressed old lady spoke up with her soft eyes on Peach.“Your son is quite a lucky man.” Madam Elle added. “She’s such a darling.”Seeing all the attention go on Peach and Mrs. Maxwell, Elle pouted at the thought that their afternoon Tea and books event was taking place at the Maxwell mansion because all the women voted so because they wanted to see Peach.“Can we read the next book already?.. Because after this, I have to go visit my grandkids.” Elle whined.And then she looked over at Mrs. Maxwell and asked, “When is your son going to put a bun in the oven? They seemed to have been together for quite a while now, according to you.”Nervously looking over to Elijah, Peach met
