The Marvelous Elijah's Return Where the hell is my wife?!
Watching in silence, Elijah smiled at Peach taking off her heels in the car, tossing them aside on the floor, and then sluggishly relaxing on the seat, admiring the slightly dark evening sky before letting out, "Today was exhausting. Who knew running a company could be so much work, even for just a day?""So, you don't want to do it again?" Elijah responded, his voice jovial.Immediately shaking her head, Peach met his eyes and replied, "No, no! That's not what I meant at all. I love work... I do. And this is not me being ungrateful... It was just A laugh escaped from Elijah's lips at her reaction, and then his attention pulled away when the car came to a stop.Then he turned back to Peach, took her shoe, and reached his hand for her feet, pulling them towards him gently and then slipping it onto her foot, mumbling, " It's okay to be tired, darling. You are not a robot."As Elijah slid the other shoe on, she sighed contentedly, smiling softly as she watched him and then let out, "

Fear flashed across Melina's features and she took a quick step back as Elijah's voice rose and he started to move closer, saying, “Where is my my wife?”“I am in shock too about what just happened...” Melina blurted, covering her mouth with a shaking hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him in horror. “I am not trying to be manipulative, Elijah. Please believe me...”“This is not a fucking theater, Melina... Where. The Hell Are They Going With My Wife?!” “Elijah, you need to calm down now... Shouting at a pregnant woman will not change anything-”“A Pregnant...Woman...?!”A wild laugh that had no humor burst out from Elijah's lips as he stared incredulously at her for a couple of seconds.“You...you're serious...?” Elijah laughed, looking between her and his men. “This is bullshit... Tell me... Melina, look me in my damn eyes and tell me that all the shit you did just now was not just some shitty act?!”The rise in his voice made her flinch. Taking another step closer
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The media will not know about this
When Melina finally stopped crying, Elijah slowly withdrew her off him, his patience below breaking point, and yet he smiled at her softly, saying in a gentle tone almost like a whisper, “I am so sorry, Melina for being insensitive to you and feelings during the entire ordeal... So sorry... Okay?”‘Boss, what the fuck?!’ Larry blurted in his head, looking at the other men's faces to see that they too had this look in their expression that says dude-you-are-tripping-big-time.For a while, Melina said nothing and just stared at Elijah, like she was trying to find any signs or traces of lies in his words.But when his eyes remained steady on her, and still holding her gaze, she felt overwhelmed with relief, she had never been so happy to see the man he once was before her, and she smiled as these words played in her head, ‘You are a Chameleon… You change for women like some fool. Well, since Peach is taken care of, I will not mind being your comforter for the fun of it.’A shaky grin cu
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Let's talk about your so-called husband
The warehouse was quiet as Melina stood there like some dummy, having this look of confusion on her face that gives out the impression she didn't know what Elijah was talking about.“Strap her,” Elijah commended, his face dead of emotions as he stared straight into her eyes like she was a puzzle to solve. Once the boss's order was out in the open, Jerome did not hesitate to grab a rope and then dragged a chair toward Melina, resting it right behind her.Before she could protest or realize what was going on, Jerome locked her down in the chair and bound her wrists along with her ankles with two sets of ropes.“Melina, don't test my patience... I want my wife back, and trust me, I can do anything to make that happen... Is that understood?” Elijah asked, staring straight at her from across the room, his tone deadly serious.Suddenly, his ringtone sounded, and Elijah pulled out his phone, answering the call with his sight still trained on Melina.“Dice,” Elijah mumbled, fear suddenly cre
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Exchange Melina for Peach
Silently, Peach looked down at her fingers which were clasped around her hand and then lifted them so that they were lying flat across the surface of the table, staring into Jacob’s piercing gaze.“I don't follow,” Peach whispered under her breath. “What are you asking?”“We all know that your husband should be a loser, a lower life... A scum... So how is he doing this?” Jacob asked as he leaned his elbows on the table, making himself appear taller and broader.Hearing his insult towards Elijah had Peach glaring at him, her eyes narrowing and her jaw tightening as she darted her gaze away from him, mumbling, “How is he doing what?”“Do you know how expensive lawsuits are, Huh? Where is Elijah taking the money from? Who is backing him? What's his contact?” Jacob questioned, raising a brow.Even though she was still going to say these same words to protect her husband, she realized they were the raw truth as she mumbled, “I don't know.”“You don't know, or you won't tell?!” Jacob shou

A knock on Miss Grace's suite door made her tired eyes snap open and forced her to push the comforter off her, getting out of bed.A moment later, when she got to the door and opened it, she immediately had this awful gut feeling that something was wrong, seeing Ryan, Rookie, and Matt standing there with Dice.“What’s wrong, Matt?” Miss Grace asked, hugging her arms around herself for comfort.“We will be gone for a while, but Dice here will be your guard until we get back,” Matt said, forcing a smile, even though he, Ryan, and Rookie had been nothing but freakout since they found out that Peach got kidnapped.“Okay... But where are you guys going at such an hour?” “Work stuff...”Confused by his reply, Miss Grace was speechless for a moment, and the guys turned to leave hurriedly before she came up with another question, but she suddenly blurted out, making them halt, “Is Elijah alright?”Slowly, Ryan turned around with a smile, masking his sadness behind a grin that looked genuine.
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A died man
For the first time, sleep was not something Elijah knew for an entire night, and when the morning light crept into his room, he was sitting on the edge of his bed, feeling a bit exhausted after spending every second of last night rearranging the chess board to his liking, and it was time for him to make his first move.But as he reached for his phone, an unknown number suddenly popped up on the screen, causing him to pause and then answered, frowning when he heard, “You little crook...”“Who is this?” Elijah asked impatiently.“You are loaded as fuck! It's all diamonds... The ring is worth millions of bucks. You have been shitting around with the act of being a broke ass, but you got the dollars and you are not afraid to spend them on Peach!” “It’s you... from last night’s call...”The frown on Elijah's face deepened, realizing that Jacob was switching in between contacts, and then he heard his voice laugh hysterically through the phone before saying, “Why though... Why hide the fact
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Playing along with Jacob's game
With the sound of her heels hitting the marble tiles and a serious expression on her face, Amelia walked down the lobby of her company, and then she left the building.When she finally got to the parking lot, she opened the back door of her Mercedes, entered the backseat, and shut it, staring away from the tinted windows the moment she heard all the doors lock automatically.“Jerry, what the hell?!” Amelia said, looking intently at the reflection of a man with a mask and hat on in the rearview mirror.“Jerry is asleep... So I will be your driver for today.” A deep, dark voice came out from the driver's seat. Before she could tell or react, the left back door unlocked, and she was about to make a run for it, but the door suddenly opened and a tall guy entered, sitting by her, then shut the door before the sound of the lock went off.“You took care of him?” The guy behind the steering wheel asked as he started the car engine.“Yes.” The other dude said, giving Amelia a small smile.Fea

The Marvelous Elijah's Return Epilogue Four
“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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Epilogue Three
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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Face to face
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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A face in the crowd
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 Marvelous Elijah's Return You safe me
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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I love you
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. Thank you.” Miss Grace cried at her son-in-law.Even though Elijah was trying to keep up the t
