The Marvelous Elijah's Return Whatever it is I need to do
As the silence between them dragged on, Peach felt her anxiety growing inside her. Finally, she muttered, "You know what, forget it. I will find another way to get the money."Her face hardened as tears settled in her eyes, and she tried walking past him, but Elijah suddenly grabbed her arms, gently pulling her to stand still in front of him."How?" Elijah asked, his gaze fixed on her teary eyes as she choked back her tears."It's none of your concern!" Peach yelled, pulling herself free from his grasp. "You have made it clear that you don't-""I have made nothing clear," Elijah interrupted her sharply, glaring at her heatedly. "I asked you a single damn question!""I don't know, okay!! I have absolutely no idea!" Peach shouted as she clenched both her fists tightly, feeling angry tears burn her cheeks and threaten to spill. "But whatever it is I need to do to help my mother, I will do it!""What's going on here?" James asked as he, Matt, Ryan, and Rookie walked towards them with a fr
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I will sign the papers
As they walked into the front door of the hospital, Peach kept her hands clapped to her side and her eyes locked on the floor. When Elijah noticed how uneasy she was, he felt a small amount of guilt creeping into his heart but quickly suppressed it, keeping his focus ahead of him, walking beside her."Miss Peach," A nurse said with a smile, meeting her from the opposite direction."Mrs. Williams, good afternoon... How is my mother's condition?" Peach said with a slight nod, ignoring Elijah standing close to her."Her condition has gotten better since this morning, and she even got a visitor." "Visitor?!" A sense of worry flashed across Peach's features and her heart skipped a beat. She knew her mother had only her, and the fact that someone visited was not a good sign. Especially when that someone was most likely her father's..."Your uncle Tommy is here with his wife to see her." Mrs. William then informed Peach with a polite smile, causing her eyes to widen in surprise."No!!" P
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I can't trust you, can I?
Instantly, Tommy stopped in his steps, masking his urge to smirk with a bitter and stern expression as he stared deeply at his sister-in-law and then at Peach."Well, look who finally decided to know her place and behave like how you suppose to behave in your low status!" Tommy remarked, his words laced with venom and sarcasm.Then he walked over to Miss Grace, handed her the paper, and commanded, "Sign it, and let's stop beating around the bush about this matter! I am being very generous, you know!" With trembling hands, Miss Grace slowly reached out for the papers, tears rolling from her eyes, but before she got a hold of it, Peach grabbed the sheet and shredded it to pieces as tears ran down her face.The anger in her eyes as she did it was something that no one has ever seen on her face before.Then Peach looked at Tommy with pure disgust and contempt and yelled at him, "Your father and my dad must be rolling in their grave because of your actions. You are just a despicable human
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Dress to impress
Scratching the back of his hair, Elijah walked towards the face basin, grabbed toothpaste and toothbrush, squeezing the paste onto the brush before beginning to scrape his teeth. His thoughts subconsciously drifted back to yesterday, the moment he and Peach hugged, and he spat into the sink before rinsing his mouth out. "Maybe I have been going about this the wrong way," Elijah mumbled as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly. After getting to the last button, he scowled and muttered, "I need someone that knows Syldavia... But can I trust Peach?" Pulling his shirt off his shoulders, Elijah took in a deep breath and eyed her reflection in the mirror.Since he entered Syldavia, he never really had the chance to explore the country because he was busy being a loyal and stay-at-home-husband to Melina.But now, he really needed to start learning his way around the country, and his first option was Peach, but the trust factor in their relationship wasn't quite there.With another sigh, Elijah
The Marvelous Elijah's Return His bad side
Others' attention quickly gathered towards Elijah and the salesgirl, and they heard some murmurs around them, which made Elijah smirk. "Why is he still acting headstrong when he can't afford the jacket?" Some woman mused as she stared at Elijah, shaking her head in disapproval."Seriously, can't he just take a hint? Why can't he understand that it's not good to act so arrogantly when he doesn't have the money for any of these clothes?" A guy scoffed as he eyed the jacket in Elijah's hands.Hardening his face, a fellow met Elijah's eyes, and then his face deepened into a scowl, his eyebrows furrowed over his blue eyes, and he mumbled, "You are that guy from the news?!" "Boss, it seems like you are way too famous in a negative light. So maybe we should just forget about the jacket and get out of here before it gets ugly." Ryan whispered after leaning toward Elijah's ear.But his words seemed to set Elijah off once again, and his eyes narrowed, as his face contorted in rage, and he
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Step aside!
For a while, Elijah stared into this stranger's eyes, both of them holding back their tongue, and their expression unreadable as if they were having a standoff."Wow, if I didn't watch the news, I would have never believed a man of such aura and vital presence was the useless house-husband of Miss Melina." The stranger broke the silence by saying, looking at Elijah with interest as though he was examining a priceless gem.Yet, Elijah felt disinterested in whatever this guy had to say, so he simply ignored him and kept on staring at the woman standing in front of them."So, about your manager..." Elijah asked, looking at the woman in a composed manner."When I thought you couldn't get any intriguing, you prove me wrong again, huh?" The handsome man smirked and shook his head.Drawing a long breath, Elijah raised a brow and looked at him with suspicion, asking, "Are you trying to flirt with me?"The woman at the counter pressed her lips in a firm line, holding in her giggle as her eyes
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Follow me
The office was quiet for what felt like forever, and Allen was sweating profusely under his suit. He wanted to say something, anything to make things alright between himself and Elijah.But he couldn't think of anything that might ease the situation. So instead, he decided to say nothing.After another long pause, Elijah finally let out a sigh and then leaned forward, resting his elbow on the armrest of his chair, and placing his chin upon his knuckles. "Do you want to rethink your answer?" Elijah asked quietly, tilting his head to the side to catch a glimpse of his eyes.Still unable to find any words, Allen stood there, shaking his head slowly, and then he said timidly, "No! No... I mean... I can't. Please don't push this any longer... Mr. Maxwell. I mean, Darius. I will gladly tell you everything you need to know about your account, but not someone else's."Leaning forward further, Elijah's voice lowered even more, "That's good then.""Please... I... wait, huh?!" Allen stammered,
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
