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

    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 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

    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

    When Elijah raised his gaze, he was immediately alarmed to see Dean in the lobby, going into a protective mood as he slightly pulled Peach behind him, but then he noticed on his right his men and on the left more of them, keeping their eyes on Dean.Noticing the sudden casual look on Elijah's face made Dean enraged to the core, and he tried to turn to rush for Elijah, but the security guards grabbed him by the arms, pulling him towards the front door.“Elijah, you bastard!” Dean growled, trying to fight the security's hold.A few people immediately turned to him when they heard him shouting, and a woman muttered, “Isn’t that Dean Hayes?... That's him! Wow, what an embarrassing situation that must be.”“These days, it seems like the Hayes names are trending, but in a negative light. Elmer is in prison... I heard a rumor that Iris and Josh are now divorced and her father pulled out his investment in Josh's company, and now, Dean has been embarrassed in the public eye. What is wrong wit

    The sound of a knock on her office door took doctor Dolan's attention away from her papers and files, looking up to see Elijah, walking into the room with Ryan by his side with a nurse. “Good morning, Mr. Darius.” The Doc said with a smile before reaching into her drawer. “Please take a seat.” Calmly, Elijah took a seat in front of the desk with Ryan next to him and Dr. Dolan pulled out two folders, handing them to Elijah. Hesitantly, Elijah accepted it and looked down at the first folder, opening it slowly and reading what was inside. When he finished reading the contents, a look of confusion appeared on his face as he glanced back up to meet Dr. Dolan's gaze. “C is not biologically related to J?” Elijah said, more confused than before. “Yes… But A is 99.9% biologically related to J.” Dr. Dolan explained, gesturing towards the second folder. Slowly, Elijah opened that folder, revealing what Dr. Dolan had pointed out earlier, and started to read the paper that was inside before

    Picking up his phone from his desk, Joey strolled until his gaze rested on Elijah's number, and then he took a deep breath, dialing it.“I am sorry to contact you just now, but we are deciding on which company to award the project to and all shareholders are being informed just in case you want to be present. But I have watched the news and saw that you have your hands occupied with a lawsuit, so I have been indecisive to bother you on such...” Joey said, his voice at a low range.“For the new branch?” Elijah asked, swirling slightly in his seat as he stared at the sunlight through the transparent glass.“Yes... But as a shareholder, you don't have to waste your time on such trivial matters. The board and others have this...”“I will be there, Joey.”“Oh... Okay then... The meeting is this Friday then.” “See you there.”When he ended the call with Elijah, Joey's heart finally settled into place once again. Since he heard that Elijah had put Elmer behind bars and the fact that Elijah

    Pacing back and forth in the living room, Peach's smile only widened as she said on the phone, “Yes, mama… Elijah and I own a house and we are leaving the suite today.”“Really?” Miss Grace repeated herself, making her daughter chuckle softly.“Yes, mama!”“Oh, oh… My heart!!”“What… What happened?! Do you need to go to the hospital?!”Hearing the seriousness in his wife's voice as he walked into the living room, a frown crossed Elijah's face, and he asked, “What’s wrong?”Sighing, Peach put the phone on speaker, just in time for Elijah to hear, “No… No… I am just so happy… The motel was where your father and I built all of our memories together… And I am overwhelmed with joy that Elijah and you get to share a space where you two can do that too.”A smile immediately took over Elijah’s face as he looked into Peach's moist eyes as she whispered, “I love you, mama.”“I love you more, honey.

    “Piki, stop.” Dan cried, afraid that she was going to get punished because of him.The noise coming from the children's section got the grown-up's attention, and then they hear a little girl, “Piki is beating up Kelvin.”Immediately, Peach and Elijah ran to the backyard with the other adults, and when the kids saw Elijah coming towards them, they split up, giving him access to his daughter.“Get off him, Piki,” Elijah said, frowning as his daughter raised her fist to strike Kelvin in the face again. “Now!”When she refused to listen, he grabbed her by her jumpsuit and pulled her off Kelvin, hugging her in his arms.Immediately, she started crying on her father's shoulder, choking on her tears.“Now what are you crying about?” Elijah said, caught between wanting to discipline her and comfort her.“Kelvin kicked my gift and hurt Dan!! I just wanted him to stop being mean to Dan!!” Piki cried, hugging her father's neck.Looking down at Dan, Elijah saw the cut on the back of his hand, and

    Six SUVs in rolls came to a stop in front of the Syldavia Supermax prison, and five of their doors immediately opened and a bunch of men in black suits rushed for the third car's back door.When one of them opened it, Bryan Checks stepped out, adjusted his coat, and walked into the building. When the security on duty saw him, they immediately saluted him, and Bryan nodded before walking past them. “He’s such a faithful son. Even though his father is in prison for posting threats to the life of the president and important government officials and trying to kill him, he still shows up here every year to visit him.” A guard said as he watched Bryan walk away.“Yeah, he's a great son.” The other guard mumbled under his breath.A while later, after following all the prison procedures, Bryan was placed in a room with his dad cuffed to the table.“Get out of my face!!!” Mr. Landon screamed as loud as possible. “I don’t wanna see you! Get the hell out!!”A smirk played on Bryan's lips as he

    The breathtaking garden in the back of the Maxwells mansion was extremely decorated with white tents with a makeshift ceiling designed with floral chandeliers.The altar was framed with a few oversized floral arrangements. It was simple but extremely elegant, and even the weather seemed to be in a good mood that day.“Da-Da!” Piki shouted in Mrs. Maxwell's arms when she saw Elijah approaching them from the opposite direction. “Dada! Dada!“There’s my Princess,” Elijah said when he reached them, grabbing her from in his mother's arms and kissing her cheeks repeatedly as her wild laughter filled the air. Then he looked at his mother and said, “I can't believe I am doing this for the third time again.”“You know what they say. Third time is the charm,” Mrs. Maxwell replied, smiling. “This time you and Peach are in a better place in your life. Piki is one year old, and you guys have given yourself a long time to heal from the past. Now, you two can seal your future again and start a new

    “Three months! She's three freaking months,” Elijah mumbled, looking down at his baby and smiling at her in her crib. “Can she stop growing?”A laugh escaped Peach’s lips as she stared at her husband standing over their daughter's crib and then she walked over to him wrapping her arms around his waist, saying, “She is not going to stop growing. You have to prepare your heart to watch her become a woman.”“I don't want her to...” Elijah said as Piki grabbed his hand, trying to pull it into her mouth. “There’s nothing we can do about that, honey. All we can do is be there for her and record her growth, so we can have something to look back on. That's why today is important.”“I know, babe… Honestly, I can't wait for them to meet her.”A knock on the couple made Peach let go of Elijah and walked over to the door, and when she opened it, Miss Grace was standing there with a smile on her face.“Matt and the others are here.” Miss Grace said, causing Elijah to raise his head and gaze at th

    Like a madman, Deacon opened fire on the SUV, bullets flying everywhere as he screamed, “Go to hell!”As the sound of bullets hitting the car from every angle, Matt, Dice, and Rookie kept their head down, and Matt could hear Elijah screaming from the other end of the call, “Matt, say something! Please! Are you guys okay?! Is anyone Hurt? Fucking tell me something, anything!”“We are okay, boss!” Matt shouted back, because of the deafening sound of the fires.Finally, silence ceased the atmosphere, and immediately, Dice raised his head, feeling glad that he was working for Elijah because of how built their vehicles were, and even though the car took a lot of hits, a single bullet didn't penetrate the car.Staring at Deacon, Dice immediately guess that he was out of bullets, and with a fifty-fifty chance that that was true, he jumped out of the car, causing Rookie to scream, “Dice, no!”When Deacon saw him coming toward him, he turned to run for his car, but like a wild cat, Dice lunged

    With a smile on his face, Elijah held Piki with one hand, and in his other hand, his phone as he walked around the garden.It took a moment for his call to get answered, and when Bryan's face appeared in the video call, he blurted out, “I can not believe I am saying this, but congratulations, Senator Checks on winning the election.”It grew silent for a second, and then both men burst into laughter, excitement clear in each of their voices. “Thanks, Bro,” Bryan said after they had caught their breath. “For everything. I mean it from the depths of my heart. Today wouldn't have been possible without your help.”“I was just paying my debt to you.” Elijah teased, and then said with a bit of remorse in his voice. “I am just sad that I couldn't be there in person today to watch you speak to the public. But all of my men are going to be there to show my support.”“I appreciate that. Also, you got Piki and Peach to be there for, so I understand.” “Yeah,”The call went silent for a split sec

    The sound of Piki screaming made Peach feel for Elijah, her fingers poking his nose and eyes as her palm rubbed against his face, and she whispered, “Babe, the baby is crying.”Sleepily, Elijah opened his eyes and then closed them, moaning out a breath as he mumbled, “I am up.”Yet, he was still laying with his eyes closed, but another scream from Piki made him jump from his sleep, shouting, “I am up, baby! Daddy is up!”Then he jumped from the bed, rushing to her crib, and reached into it, scooping her up and cradling her, singing nonsense words at her that made Peach giggle sleepily.Even though the two weeks of taking care of a newborn were challenging, Elijah refused a nursery for the baby, allowing her to sleep in his room, and denied the offer of a nanny. His heart won't let him trust a soul other than his internal family around his daughter, after everything that he and Peach had gone through.“Shush,” Elijah murmured quietly at her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Is your p

    Early that morning, Madam Maxwell was a bit on the edge as she walked around the kitchen, tasting and giving instructions for every meal the maids were preparing. Her eyes would occasionally flicker from stove to pots and pans, her lips pursed in concentration. Finally, the sound of Miss Grace's voice drew her attention to the kitchen doorway when she heard, “Elijah, Peach, and the baby are home.”A look of raw excitement came over Lisa's face and she smiled widely as she rushed out of the kitchen with Miss Grace following closely behind.When they got into the living room, both their eyes were wet with tears to see little Piki in the car seat that Elijah was hoping for, and suddenly, the two days of waiting felt worth it for both grandmothers.Not wasting a second, Miss Grace ran to Elijah while Mrs. Maxwell rushed for Peach and they pulled the couple into a tight hug.“Thank you, Elijah.
