The Marvelous Elijah's Return There is more
The door to the lobby finally opened, and Mr. Bamford walked in with twelve police officers following closely behind him.Silence completely took over the lobby of the building and only the sound of their boots could be heard hitting the tiles as they walked over to where Elijah was.The tears in Peach’s eyes immediately stopped, and a sense of confusion flooded every part of her mind as her eyes followed the officers until they stood in front of her husband and the other five officers.“Chief! What are you doing here?” One of the five officers asked with worry evident in his voice.The other four looked just as confused as him, and fear started creeping its way on their faces after the chief didn’t reply immediately.Meeting Elijah’s eyes and his bloodstained nose, Mr. Bamford frowned, dragging his gaze down to Elijah's hands locked behind his back, and said, “Uncuff him now!”The firmness in his tone caused Peach’s eyes to widen with a shocked expression, she opened her mouth, but n
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The last laugh
Even though she was hesitant, Natalie pushed the huge wooden door open, and then looked back at Elijah and Peach, mumbling, “This is it.”Calmly Peach walked past her, entering the office, and Elijah let out a soft sigh before following her into the room, then Natalie closed the door, leaving the two alone.There was this long pause between them as they both stood awkwardly in the center of the room while she stared at him.“You knew you weren't going to go to jail, didn't you?” Peach asked, her voice calm but not exactly pleasant.“I had an idea,” Elijah replied, not looking at her. “I just... wasn't quite sure if I could pull it off. But I am glad I did.” A look of hesitation crossed her face for a second before she seemed to settle down and took a deep breath before speaking again, “I’m just glad you and Matt don't get to go to jail.”‘But there are more your lips are refusing to say,’ Elijah thought to himself, watching as Peach fidgeted slightly with her hands.It was no secret
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Loose ends
A sense of rage awakened from Madam Jewel's bruised ego at the thought that a lowlife would dare challenge the Hayeses with such a direct insult to their faces, and a feeling of disbelief overcame her as she mumbled, “Elijah, Elijah? Melina's ex-husband... Peach's current husband did that... to your face?” The way his mother pressed on those words made Elmer even more irritated, and with a sharp inhale he finally snapped, “Yes... Now, can we just drop it? I already have a plan to deal with that bastard, so can we just focus on the company and the fact that I'm Peach now owns Investistic Co?” A shock coursed through the entire group, except Madam Jewel, who sighed out her frustration, feeling the tension in the room build-up, as she turned around, walked back towards her seat, saying in a hushed voice, “I can't... This is just...” “Peach owns what?!” Cora cried out, looking completely confused, and while she glanced around at the others, they seemed just as lost as she was. Meeting
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Please, say it.
Calmly, Elijah looked over his shoulder at Peach, meeting her eyes, which immediately looked troubled by his glance, and then he smiled slightly, not wanting her mind to run wild.Then when a small grin appeared on her face, he looked back at Ryan and said, “Honestly, this had been my thoughts from the first time I set my sight on that lawyer. He seemed way too shaken and uncertain about what he was saying or doing that night.”“But why would the Hayeses want to fake a will just to give Peach a part of the properties after years of gatekeeping them for so long and getting away with it?” Ryan inquired, his brows furrowed in confusion.For a second Elijah just stood there in silence, deep in thought, and then he sighed, mumbling, “From what I saw yesterday between them and Peach, I will say control. A wild wolf is better managed in the pack, but if it becomes a rogue, the pack must be wary. And the Hayes family has a history of controlling everything and everyone, except her.”“Makes s
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The lawyer might die
The sound of loud thunderstorms rippled through the air before Peach spoke up with uncertainty. Her voice sounded soft and fragile when she answered, “I thought he was talking about us... my mom, dad, and me.” After a brief pause, Elijah tried not to show the confusion he felt on his face and kept quiet for a few moments as his hands started tightening around hers, and then he asked, “Really? Did he mention that in particular?” Slowly, Peach shook her head, her eyes falling closed momentarily, and then she looked at Elijah who seemed to be waiting for her to answer. She bit her lip nervously, but finally, she sighed, and she mumbled, “Well... no. But Jewel always used to say to me, He was going to kick us out one day, and that we were a nuisance to my grandfather, and he would soon get sick of us... So when I heard that, I thought that was the day.” “Peach, he could have been talking about anyone...” Elijah stated gently. “He could have meant any number of people.” Even though th
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A dead man has no tale to tell
Not for a second, not even for a moment did Elijah close his eyes, and the first light of dawn met him standing a slim distance away from the glass wall, watching the darks slowly fade. The news about Meeks didn't leave his mind, and like a haunting nightmare, it dawned on him every second that sleep had forsaken him.Patting the sheets, Peach's eyelids slowly opened, looking up at her husband with her drowsy eyes, still half asleep, before she let out a soft yawn, rubbing her nose on one finger in an attempt to get rid of the sleepiness.When she fully awakened, a sense of worry and confusion settled around her like fog, as she slowly sat up straight, staring at Elijah.After that phone call last night that she had deemed “annoying” because Elijah lost all interest after receiving it, she knew something was off, and now, seeing him just standing there made her even more anxious.“Good morning,” Peach said while putting on her robe and slipping a pair of slippers over her feet.Then
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Where is Peach?
The lobby of Investistic Co. was a bit noisy, and yet it had a calm atmosphere, but all that immediately changed as tension and silence took over the moment the front doors opened and Elijah stepped inside with Dice, Ryan, and Rookie by his side.Every employee in the lobby instantly snapped to attention when they saw him, and their faces twisted into various looks of fear, anger, confusion, and annoyance.The quiet only lasted for a couple of seconds, and then the whispering began as the stares continued.“Is he just a reckless man, or a stupid one because after what he did to Elmer... if I was him, I would have been out of the country by now and in hiding.” One of the female employees muttered under her breath.“Honestly, I feel embarrassed for him. With all the rumors about his first marriage and how the public saw him then, you think he would have learned his lesson, but he has become even more -” The guy by her whispered, pausing in fear when Elijah's eyes and his unintentionally
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Who is my target?
When the door cracked open, Scorpio stopped sharpening his blade and raised his gaze to stare at his man calmly walking inside, and then he asked in a dead tone, "What is it, Target?" Lowering his gaze to the floor, Target hesitated and then mumbled, "There's an older lady out there asking about you." "What does she want?" Scorpio asked impatiently, his gaze still on his blade, watching the spark of fire from every time he rubbed a little too roughly against it. Flinching, Target took a step back and then mumbled, "She wants you to do a job for her, and she claimed to have the money to pay."For a moment, Scorpio didn't even react or look up. Then he said, very softly but with enough annoyance in his voice, commanded, "Bring her to me."After a slight bow, Target eyed his boss before walking away without another word, and Scorpio continued to sharpen his blade.A couple of minutes later, the door opened again and Madam Jewel walked inside, clutching onto her purse with her face etc
