The Marvelous Elijah's Return Why am I acting like this?
After Elijah took the briefcase from Matt and walked off, he did not look back to see if Peach was following him.Knowing how unstable his mood can get, Peach got off the stool and nervously followed after Elijah, watching his back closely.The moment he got to his room door, he finally stopped, and looked back at her, standing behind him with her hands clenched by her sides.His expression softened as he opened the door, walking in, and Peach silently walked in behind him.After Elijah closed the door, he threw his briefcase on the bed and turned back, facing Peach who stood there, a few feet away from him."What's wrong?" Elijah asked her, noticing how sad she looked."Nothing," Peach mumbled as Elijah approached her."Don't lie," Elijah responded, cupping Peach's face in his warm palm and wiping away any traces of tears from her cheeks.With a sigh, Peach gave Elijah a small smile and whispered, "I was talking with James about my family, and it's the reason why I lost control of my
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Your Game
A faint blush crept across Peach's cheekbones as she lowered her head, clearly embarrassed by what she was about to ask."Yes?" Elijah prompted, sensing her unease."Could I work with you?" Peach finally asked timidly. "I mean if you... Umm... after you establish your company..."It grew quiet for a moment until she couldn't bear it anymore. She lifted her head, and her eyes unintentionally locked with Elijah's gaze before he focused on the road."Just because we are getting a bit close, you think that is a way for you to take advantage of it and use me for your benefit," Elijah replied coldly, not bothering to hide the irritation and disgust in his voice.Feeling confused, Peach chuckled Out in surprise, tilting her head to the side, mumbling, "Wait, what?!""Don't act dumb and naive," Elijah retorted sharply."That was uncalled for!""Was it?!""Yes!"The tension in the car grew thicker as Peach looked away from Elijah in embarrassment, feeling a little hurt from his harsh tone."Un
The Marvelous Elijah's Return She needs you
The hospital room was filled with silence once the doors to the room closed. Then Elijah turned to look at Peach, asking, "Are you okay?""Yeah... Yeah, I am fine." Peach muttered, crossing her arms across her chest, lowering her eyes to the ground, and sighing softly. "I'm sorry...""For what?" Elijah asked, tilting his head slightly to the side."For being like that..." Peach murmured, clenching her teeth together and averting her eyes away from him. "When you start fighting for your right at a young age, you get angry at whoever tries to take it away from you...""You don't have to explain yourself, Peach, I understand where you are coming from," Elijah replied simply.Peach shook her head, still refusing to meet his eyes, "No, you don't. It was unfair for you to have to defend me... And I am sorry. I should never have put you in such a position.."Elijah gave a small smile, reaching out to touch her arm. He rubbed his thumb gently over her wrist, giving her a reassuring look, a
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A nasty lawsuit
The sorrow of a mother's desperate plea was something Elijah had never experienced before, and he was not sure how to respond at this point. The look on Miss Grace's face showed pain and concern, as well as desperation, and Elijah knew even though he wanted no burden of such responsibility since his entire focus was on raising to power and having his revenge, he couldn't say no and be the bad guy when this woman, who had lost so much, was on her knees, begging him to save her daughter.'This mother and daughter know how to push every single nerve ending of mine.' Elijah thought as a tear rolled down Miss Grace's cheek. 'But... I guess I will have to put all the hard feelings aside because Peach does need help… and do everything in my power to make sure she stays safe, at least for now.'Smiling weakly at Miss Grace, he gently grabbed both her arms and said, "Please stand up first."Although she looked reluctant, Miss Grace obeyed and stood up slowly.Once she managed to stand straig
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Manipulative and Deceptive
Looking at the worry in his men's expressions, Elijah felt a bit dumbfounded that they were staring at him like that, and he rubbed a hand across his face tiredly and mumbled, "What is it?"Well... you just knock the shit outta some dude," Ryan said hesitantly, eyeing the others to back him up."How did you guys know about that?" Elijah frowned, glancing between the four of them.Slowly, Ryan looked over at James, raising his brows with a curious look plastered across his face, making James sigh before facing Elijah."The clip is all over the internet." He said calmly. "And we are confused because there's no extra information about what led to the punch.""Well, he insulted my mother, calling me a son of a bitch… My mom is no, bitch." Elijah snapped, clenching and unclenching his fists in anger, feeling his breathing quicken with rage.Staring in disbelief, Matt muttered beneath his breath, "Shit, he had that one coming and deserved it... Well, more than a punch."The room was quiet
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Facing Jail time
Six o'clock met James in a nearby shopping mall a few blocks from the Paz motel, and as he was staring at the cabbages and vegetables that lined the shelves around him, he couldn't help listening to the two ladies gossiping beside him."Did you see this morning's news?" A brunette woman asked excitedly."Of course, I saw it. I thought news about their divorce was going to be the craziest thing we would get, but it just keeps getting worse! He and her cousin... like that's just so messed up!" A blonde lady exclaimed, throwing her free hand in the air.Wondering what the heck they were talking about, he shook his head and put the cabbage into his basket before moving to the next shelf and grabbing a bunch of tomatoes.As he was placing them into his basket, he noticed how some shoppers were whispering, instead of talking normally and it just made him even more puzzled. But he carried on with his task in silence, trying his best to ignore them since he wanted to buy all the stuff quickl
The Marvelous Elijah's Return What's the catch
Outside the motel was crowded with even more reporters and news crews as the seconds turned into minutes, and no one seemed willing to give up and leave.In the dining hall, Elijah, Matt, Peach, Ryan, Miss Grace, James, and Rookie sat around the table, in silence, eating their breakfast, and occasionally stealing glances at each other.When Peach looked at her mother, she could tell that she was getting increasingly concerned, and she looked over at Elijah, looking away from his eyes when he caught her stare."Do you still have Melina's number?" Peach said after a few moments had passed, her voice low.Raising his gaze, Elijah fixed his eyes on her, but she refused to meet his stare. Taking a deep breath, Elijah took a long look at her and asked, "Why do you need it?""To end this nightmare," Peach muttered, her eyes glued to the table.Everyone's gaze was now focused on her as her mother asked, her voice filled with uncertainty, "What are you talking about now?"Slowly, Peach lifted
The Marvelous Elijah's Return They are beautiful
"Get off the premises! Now! Get in your car and drive off!" A guy in a police uniform with a megaphone shouted at the reporters.Some of the news crew were still confused while others were already driving off because they were afraid to get arrested for trespassing or get removed by intense force."While is the chief constable here... Isn't Elijah just a nobody?" A journalist whispered as the cameraman packed up their equipment."Maybe it's Peach. She's a Hayes... after all, and her family name is quite powerful." The cameraman said."You think? I thought after her father got kicked out of the Hayes Family house, they lost the right to such power and influence." "She shares a bloodline with Henry Hayes. Of course, the power and influence are still there... if she knows how to harvest it." "Will her step-grandma even allow her to do that? I heard Mr. Hayes's will has never been read, and his lawyer was never given the go-ahead from his mistress to read what his dying intentions were.
