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

The elevator slowly opened, and Daniel Ferguson along with a couple of old dudes walked out, looking confused like children separated from their parents at the grocery store.When Daniel's eyes locked with Elijah, he scowled slightly, and then walked over to them, saying, “It’s you.” “Who are these guys?” Elijah questioned, raising an eyebrow at the other.Looking back, Daniel stared at his colleagues’ faces, and then faced Elijah saying, “Mr. Boone, Elrod, Madden, Laurier, Viotto, Fox, Caddel, Francis, and Mr. Amana... The members of the board.”“You are...” Mr. Elrod stated bluntly, gazing at Elijah. “Madam Jewel's new grandson-in-law... Where is your wife.”“Home,” Elijah said with a casual expression.An awkward silence settled in the atmosphere as the board of directors ignored him and then stared around.And almost in unison, they focused back on Elijah and asked, “Where is everyone?”“Gone,” Elijah said in the same indifferent manner.“Gone?” Mr. Fox repeated with a disbelievi
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Did you take care of…
When the elevator doors opened again, Daniel, Mr. Boone, Elrod, Madden, Laurier, Viotto, Fox, Caddel, Francis, and Mr. Amana walked out, carrying briefcases that seemed heavy for their aging bones to carry. A frown immediately settled on Elijah's face when he saw them with those briefcases, he pinched the bridge of his nose, groaned, and said, “You ten, stop right there!” A nervous glance clouded their eyes as a look of hesitation settled on their faces and the ten of them halted in their steps. Drawing a deep breath to calm his annoyance, Elijah walked over to them, and then asked, “What’s in the briefcases that makes them look heavy?” The men exchanged confused looks between themselves as if asking each other whether they should answer or just keep their silence. “Papers,” Daniel replied in an annoyed voice as he glanced at the floor before looking at Elijah and asked in irritation, “Can we go now?!” “Nah, not with the briefcases... You can't.” Elijah stated calmly as he sto
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The Last Supper
Watching her daughter's leg bouncing up and down, Miss Grace smiled weakly, and then she left the chair, sat at the edge of the bed by Peach, and rested her hand on her thigh, causing her to stop.“I remember those days that you never wanted to leave my side..." Miss Grace said softly, and Peach looked up at her in guilt.“It's not that I want to leave now, but I want Elijah to come..." Peach whispered, pressing her teeth into her bottom lip. "Ugh, now that I have said it, I get what you mean. But mama-""I am just teasing, and... Realizing that you are a woman now with a husband to go home to, and... I am happy for you, honey." "I am sorry that I seem anxious to go home. I am just worried about Elijah because... Well, it's the Hayes, and he's in the middle of this chaos and I am scared...""Honey, Elijah is-"The sound of the room doorknob turning startled both mother and daughter, and they turned their heads, looking at Elijah."He is here for you," Miss Grace whispered as she f
The Marvelous Elijah's Return We have a date
The soft texture of the sheet as Elijah brushed his hands against it made him immediately open his eyes, and whisper, “Peach!”The storm of panic he felt softly faded when he sat up and saw her at the table, focusing on a pile of documents with scrabble-up sheets scattered around. Her attention was solely on the papers that she didn't even notice him staring at her for a long while before he got off the bed, stretched out his shorts legs, and walked over to her with a smile. “Morning, beautiful,” Elijah said in a low voice, resting his palms on the table to lean over and kiss the top of Peach's head.Slowly, she looked up at him, tilting her head up a bit so that they could lock eyes as she said softly, “Morning,”And then she studied his face with a warm smile before focusing back on the paper, her messy morning hair falling over her forehead like a curtain and his white t-shirt neck slacking off her shoulder.“I left you in this exact spot and went to bed... Did you get enough sle
