The Marvelous Elijah's Return Call me
A forced smile tugged on Madam Jewel’s lip as she gazed at Elijah, but he was too focused on the photos that Scorpio was sending him. “Elijah,” Madam Jewel called out, watching her tone. Playing deaf to her, Elijah kept his gaze on his screen, and that had her frowning slightly. “Elijah, how is Peach?” Madam Jewel asked once again, trying for a more friendly tone as she tried to figure out what was going on. Immediately, Elijah's grip tightened on his phone, his gaze froze for a while before he sighed and turned off his screen, shoving the device back into his pocket before glaring up at her, annoyed at her hypocrisy. “You should know how she is doing,” Elijah calmly uttered as he stood from the couch. A nervous look passed over Madam Jewel's face, but before she could speak out, Mr. Bamford cut in, “Is Mrs. Darius at the company?” “No,” Elijah answered a bit stiffly, meeting Madam Jewel's eyes with a dark stare. “She’s at home… feeling a bit under the weather.” Taking his gaz
The Marvelous Elijah's Return He has my daughters
The mere sight of the exquisite suite had Madam Jewel speechless because she didn't expect Elijah to live in such a decent place.“You said that I should call, but did not answer my calls...” Madam Jewel stated, reliving the anger and frustration she felt having to immediately chase after Elijah in her car when he didn't pick up at her first ring.‘It was a test to see how desperate you are... and I can safely say now that you are desperate.’ Elijah thought as he glared at her, knowing that he had to exist in the same space as this woman for his wife's sake.“Drop your bag on the table,” Elijah commanded, grabbing her attention off his place and onto him.Even though she hated every second of being obedient to Elijah, she slowly took her bag from her shoulder, set it down on the small table next to the sofa, and sat down.“Your coat, take it off,” Elijah ordered, his eyes never wavering from hers, knowing that she was a tricky woman.His tone was commanding, and it felt like a needle
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Men in Black
The sound of the door opening drew Peach’s attention, and she held her breath as she stared at Jacob entering the room, and immediately, she noticed the blood on his knuckles, causing her heart to clench in worry.“Get up, and don't say a word, or else I will hurt you, and your husband has my hand tied from doing that, so don't dare push my buttons,” Jacob growled, and with a sigh.Even though she was hesitant, Peach slowly stood from her seat and sealed her lips, although she wanted to ask for her ring. “Walk,” Jacob commanded, and he grabbed her wrist tightly, making her gasp slightly as he led her out of the room.All his men had this disappointed look on their faces as he led her down the corridor, and Peach dared not look at any of them as she obediently followed him.When they reached a black ford pickup, he opened the front door, enraged at his cord and hating every moment of the shift in the game and obeying Elijah.“Get in,” Jacob uttered, finally letting go of her wrist.Po
The Marvelous Elijah's Return One step closer to the truth
The moment Madam Jewel walked into the living room, her sons and grandsons were all waiting on her with mad eyes and scowls. “Where did you go?” Dean asked first. “We have been waiting for hours now.” “Also, why did you lie to Mr. Bamford, huh? It's almost night time and our wives, sisters, and aunts are not back home yet!” Josh lashed out, not even holding back his anger. “I want to respect you mother, but Evelyn might be in danger, and I think I can't continue honoring your decision to stay silent about this!” Mathew chimed in from the other side of the room. A snarl left Tyson's lips as he stood up from the couch and said, “I don't know what we are still doing here, instead of getting people out there to search-” “Elijah has them!” Madam Jewel shouted, causing silence to fall into the room. None of them spoke after that. Instead, they looked at her with questioning looks on their faces. “You said Elijah has who?” Mathew finally questioned. A sigh came out from Madam Jewel a
The Marvelous Elijah's Return 99.9 percent his father’s child
The bartender flinched when Jacob suddenly slapped the counter, clearly wasted, and shouted, "Give me one more shot?!" "Who's paying for all the first seven rolls that you and those guys drank?" The bartender asked, eyeing Jacob warily. A snarl crossed Jacob's face before he took Peach's ring from his pocket, pushed it towards the bartender's face, and said, "Do you see these stones... real diamonds... worth millions of dollars... I need to get it off my hands soon... I got a buyer already though, and they are supposed to meet me here... so don't worry your head about if I can pay you. Just make me another damn drink.”Not trusting the sketchiness of Jacob's words, or what they seemed to imply, the bartender frowned slightly and said, “I will need a credit card or cash... not some ring. Do you have those just in case your buyer doesn't show up?” “Of course he does... But there will be no need for that... his buyer is here.” A guy with long black hair pulled into a ponytail came up
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Crucify them
When Elijah's eyes opened to the morning light, Peach was still snuggled against him like a contented kitten, her legs tangled against his. “Hey,” Elijah said quietly, gently nudging her awake. “I have to leave early.” Immediately, he felt her frown against his chest and then she woke up and raised her head, “What time is it?” “Ten forty.” Elijah answered, smiling at the way that Peach’s eyes suddenly widened. “It’s almost noon!” “You look so comfortable, and I didn’t want to wake you.” A slight chuckle escaped his lips when she rushed off him, left the bed, and asked, “Are we leaving for the company?” “Dice will drop you there. I have to go somewhere first, and then I will meet you there.” There was a brief silence between them as she studied his eyes, and then she smiled and mumbled, “Okay… I should get ready then.” As she was about to head for the bathroom, Elijah reached off the bed, grabbed her hand, and pulled her back towards him, “I got something for you.” Even thou
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Mother, what have you done?!
The door to the hospital opened, and Elijah stepped into the lobby with Rick, both men headed down to the receptionist’s desk and smiled softly at her. “How may I help you, sir?” She said after looking up to meet their friendly expression.“I research that you guys carry out DNA tests here.” Elijah said politely. “Is that true?”The woman nodded and started typing on a keyboard. It took a few seconds, but the lady was apparently done. She looked up from it and stood from her desk, “Yes... Why?”“My father wants me to do a DNA test to make sure my two sisters are his,” Elijah explained, still smiling gently.Shocked at the family tea he just spilled, the nurse gave a nervous smile and said, “I see. Please follow me this way, sir.”“Thanks,” Elijah said as she left from behind the desk. Quietly, she led him back down a hallway, passing more doors before stopping by the one marked, “Dr. Dolan.”Then she gave a gentle knock on the door before pushing it open. A middle-aged woman sat at
The Marvelous Elijah's Return divorced for the second time
As Peach was about to take a spoonful of her cereal, she halted, hearing Elijah call out to her from outside the kitchen, “Babe, Babe...!”When he walked through the doorway, she smiled at the excitement on his face, and she whispered, “Someone is in a good mood this morning?”“Okay... Okay! Take a look at these!” Elijah said, drawing her bowl of cereals from before her, making Peach pout after her food.When he rested his phone in front of her and sat down, she frowned at him slightly, picked up her spoon, and started eating her food as he mumbled, mouthful, “Take a look.”For a moment, Peach watched him shamelessly slurping the milk before she put her focus on the phone and tapped the screen to brighten it.Gazing at the huge mansion on his screen, Peach frown deepened, raising her head to see that he had laterally put the spoon down and had the bowl in his hand.“Can’t you just fix a bowl for yourself?” She cried, pouting harder. “You drain me last night and had me working overtim
