The Marvelous Elijah's Return They are all there
Gazing calmly at her reflection in the mirror, Peach just stared, trying to find words to describe what she was feeling as she smiled softly, whispering, "I'm getting married..." Many mixed emotions were running through her mind, and some of them seemed a little too loud for her to be silent, but she was happy, ecstatic even. For so long, it felt like this would be a day that would never come, marrying Elijah was something she never really thought would happen, but here she was, about to wed him. "Why am I so shaky?" She giggled out nervously, not knowing how to handle the rush of emotions flowing through her as her heartbeat raised. "Peach, honey," Miss Grace's sudden voice echoed from outside her bedroom door, causing her to flinch slightly. "Can I come in?" "Yes, mama," Peach called out, looking back at her door frame. A second later, Miss Grace came inside, closing the door behind her with a smile on her face, crying softly, "My baby." Since Albert died, it had just been h
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Up in flames
As her hair was getting done, and her face touched up with makeup, Peach kept telling herself to breathe, and knowing that Elijah was waiting on her at the altar made her less afraid."Mama, what time is it?" Peach asked, her eyes closed as the lady brushed a soft peachy color eyeshadow on her eyelids."Two o'clock," Miss Grace said with a smile, and yet, tears stained her face, feeling overwhelmed by her daughter becoming a bride before her eyes, and every stage of Peach growing up from an infant to a woman kept playing in her head."The wedding starts at three... do you think we will be late?" "No, honey. The drive to the ceremony is not that long."Pulling her hand away from Peach's face, the makeup artist smiled and said, "Well, the bride is ready to get dressed."Slowly, Peach opened her eyes to see her reflection staring back, and her lips pulled upward into a soft smile."You look beautiful, honey." Miss Grace whispered as Peach stood from the chair."Thanks… can you please h
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Rain down hell together
Without saying a word, Elijah put his phone back into his pocket, trying to compose himself, even though rage was eating at him from the inside.“Are you okay?” Peach whispered, seeing a slight shift in his expression when his gaze rested on the Hayes, glaring at each member of the family.“Yeah, I am...” Elijah muttered, turning towards Peach with a smile and then kissing her lightly on the head to distract her from the fact that his eyes still had a glint of anger hidden there.Resting his chin on her head as he pulled her into a hug, Elijah's gaze met with Madam Jewel, and his jaw tightened.At five the reception hall at a beachside hotel was filled with the sounds of chatter, laughter, music, and the noise of the ocean crashing onto the sand.And the audacity of the Hayes to follow them to the reception party had Elijah clutching tightly onto his wine glass while a bunch of his men with their girlfriend congrats Peach, pulling her into calming chitchat.His grip only tightened as
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Rule three
The dull morning light in her face with her body wrapped into Elijah's arms, Peach just stared at him, his lashes, the details of his lips, unable to look away. Her hand rested on his cheek, and looked at his shut eyes, stroking his skin lightly as she felt her breathing become slow and steady. “I know it was just nonsense that she said, but I still can’t get her words out of my head...” Peach whispered, leaning in closer until there were no more inches between them, their breaths mingling together. “What can't you get out of your head?” Elijah asked, his voice low and soothing as his eyelids slowly opened. Not expecting him to even be awake, Peach froze, trying desperately to think of something, anything because she didn't want to tell him about the conversation between Melina and her. “Nothing,” Peach quickly replied, pulling her face back, feeling a heat rise to her cheeks. “It's nothing. You should go back to sleep. Yesterday was hectic, and my crying kept you up late.”
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Grandpa’s Will
Ignoring Jerome's call, Elijah met Peach's eyes and let out calmly, “Answer it,” Her eyes darted upward to meet his gaze before looking down at her phone screen and then accepting the call, putting it on speaker. “Peach, dear! Are you alright?” Madam Jewel's voice came from the other end of the line, causing Elijah and Peach to scoff at her fake concern. “Why wouldn't I be?” Peach said calmly, not breaking eye contact with Elijah. An awkward silence settled on the line, and it took a while before Madam Jewel spoke again. “Are you... sure?” Her tone was almost concerned, but they could hear the underlying hint of disappointment in it. “Yes,” Peach mumbled, struggling to cage the anger that flared up inside of her. “But... I heard... this morning that the motel burned down, and I was worried because that's where you and Elijah with Grace stayed.” “Yeah... It did burn down.” “And you are fine... Where are you guys staying?” Not wanting to answer that question, Peach didn't m
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Choose your side
Anger immediately started to rise inside of her as Peach glared at Madam Jewel with a look of pure hatred, and without even realizing it, she blurted, “Grandpa left that company for me, and you can't just take what he gave to me away!”A faint chuckle escaped Madam Jewel’s throat as she gazed down at her granddaughter, before she replied, “Oh yes, I can... you know, I thought you were getting married to this... this human being because you want to own something in this family and be a part of us...”A pause followed her words as she watched Peach’s eyes for a sign of fear and submission and when she saw a slight flicker of emotion in her step granddaughter’s eyes, she smiled, knowing that she managed to hit Peach’s weak spot.“I will not tolerate the disrespect I am seeing from you, Peach, and since that's how you want to behave, I am taking this opportunity to let you know you aren't fit to take over any of the family business. I don't need an arrogant, selfish, and prideful woman w
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Kill or let it free
The words that Elijah said to Jerome never left Peach's thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Elijah was sleeping.Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Peach looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.‘What package were you talking about?’ Peach wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Elijah to shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck.“Elijah, your phone,” Peach whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.“Your phone…,” Peach repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.Finally, Elijah opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Is there more to Mr. Hayes’ will?
A look of fear entered Meeks’ eyes, his expression twisting with anxiety, terror, and helplessness as he and Elijah continued to stare at each other. “Which will?" Mr. Meeks finally questioned. "The will that Mr. Hayes left Peach," Elijah stated plainly, averting his gaze to stare straight into the old man's eyes, daring him to try and lie. “Whi-ch o-ne…?” Mr. Meeks murmured, barely audible for anyone to hear. Then he saw Elijah's brows furrowing, and he knew that he was getting impatient as his eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly in his chair. “Don't act like a dummy with me... speak louder.” Elijah uttered in a stiff tone. Immediately, Meeks' face turned pale, his body tensing, and then his eyes widened as he blurted out, “Oooh! Oh!! Do you mean the will Madam Jewel gave Peach the night of Mr. Hayes's death anniversary party?!” “Is there another will for Peach?” Elijah asked as he raised his eyebrows. “No! No... no... I was just scared and my mind took its time to
