The Marvelous Elijah's Return I hate you so much, Elijah
A faint smirk crossed Elijah's face, thinking Peach was joking, as he chuckled lightly. However, seeing her expression, he stopped chuckling and said, "What?!" "I don't think I can go back home and have the same strength that I mustered up today to deny my mother's request... If not now... I don't think..." Peach trailed off, lowering her head. "What did Miss Grace say?" Elijah asked calmly, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "That you have a gangster tendency, and I need a man that is not as complicated as you," "Wow..." A small laugh escaped Elijah's mouth as he glanced at her, and then he sighed quietly, shaking his head. "I am not marrying you without your mother's concern, Peach" Elijah muttered, his voice low and steady, Tilting her head sideways, Peach gazed at him curiously and said, "Why are you telling me this? I thought it would be something you wanted... that you were waiting for me to tell you." "Yeah, but... we are going to do this the right way," Elijah stated,
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I will let Peach go
With a dead-serious expression on his face, he met Peach's tears eyes as she sniffed softly, making sure her gaze was locked on his, and he reached out and cupped her chin, saying softly, "Do you really hate me?"Slowly, Peach shook her head, lowering her gaze slightly and muttering, "No… I love you. And, it feels a million times harder because I can't hate you... Why did you have to put me through that? I told you to stay in the car!"In silence, Elijah watched her struggle to hold back a sob, his heart breaking as she stared at the floor with puffy eyes and hiccups, her hands clasped together."Why are you so emotional, Peach?" Elijah asked, his brows furrowing deeply as he continued to hold her chin, tilting it upwards so that he could see her face clearly. "Why do you look so fragile like the day your mother got hurt?... I'm just a lowlife loser with a gangster impulse, so why do you feel so vulnerable for me?""Because you messed up my heart, Elijah. It doesn't care about your
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I can't wait to be your wife
Grabbing the last unconscious thug by his leg and dragging him to the SUV, Dice smirked at Jerome and then threw him with the others in the backseat of the car.A low groan escaped from the bruised-up thugs as they laid over each other, unable to even speak for themselves let alone try to escape or attack any of them. "You should text the boss to come out." Dice told his son, slamming the car door shut.The silence in Elijah's room broke when Elijah's phone vibrated, causing him to look away from Miss Grace and focus on his phone screen."Hmmm... Please excuse me. I got to head out," Elijah said as he woke from his bed, shoving his phone into his pocket.As he was about to walk past Miss Grace, feeling disheartened, her voice stopped him, "Do not make me regret this, Elijah... regret choosing you for my daughter."A faint smile grew across Elijah's face, hearing her say that, knowing she wasn't actually mad at him, just worried as any mother would be if her daughter was involved with
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Come on, Elijah
The dining table of the Hayes family was completely quiet as Madam Jewel slowly sipped her tea, looking so calm and relaxed. "Mother, it's been days since Peach left this mansion... How can you be so calm? I mean, don't you fear what might be going on through all of this silence with her?" Dean asked his mother, watching how she calmly savored her tea. Sighing softly, Madam Jewel placed her teacup down onto her saucer, before placing her hands together in front of her. "Michael called me days ago. He said... Well, Elijah was bold enough to challenge him the other day, at the motel, and even claim that Peach was already taken for him to pursue her..." Madam Jewel uttered with a cocky smile, remembering the relief she felt when he told her that. "Peach is taken... and that's a good thing?... Taken by who?!" Dean asked, eyeing his wife, and even Martha now seemed more interested in what was being said. "Elijah," "Elijah?" The table fell silent and Madam Jewel picked up her cup aga

The glass door pushed open, and Elijah walked into the restaurant along with Matt, his hands stuck in his pockets as he advanced toward the front desk. Like a celebrity with bad publicity, he immediately grabbed the attention of the famous faces in the restaurant, giving him many stares, which he ignored. “Hey, I'm here to meet Clyde Fangio,” Elijah told the lady sitting behind the desk as he looked down at her, a blank and uninterested look plastered on his face. Looking up to meet his eyes, she gave a small smile, and mumbled, “Right, Elijah-” “Darius,” Elijah answered simply. Her gaze darted nervously from Elijah to Matt and back to Elijah, mumbling, “Okay, the second floor, room three.” Nodding slightly, Elijah pulled away from the counter with Matt right behind him, ignoring the conversation between the two receptionists. “He really is good-looking... Sadly, he is that way...” The lady with the long brown hair commented. “Yeah... It's disturbing that he is still showing hi
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Ten Billion Dollars
Putting his card back into his wallet, Elijah stared into Mr. Fangios' eyes coldly and then scoffed before turning on his heel and walking away with Matt. "Wait!! How can you guys let him leave?!..." Mr. Fangio's voice sounded desperate. "He hasn't-" "He has paid his bill, Mr. Fangio." The receptionist said, interrupting his sentence. Looking at her for a few seconds, Mr. Fangio frowned and turned his head to glare at the security guards before chasing after Elijah, shouting, "Wait! Let's talk more... I-" The door shut closed behind Elijah and Mr. Fangio picked up his pace, running fast, gaining frowns from people that knew who he was, and the fact that he was chasing after someone like Elijah made no sense to them. When he finally caught up with Elijah outside of the restaurant, he took a second to catch his breath, watching Elijah glare at him. "Who's your boss?... I can negotiate a better price... Now, I know that I underestimated you a bit." Mr. Fangio stated, breathing har
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A cold day in hell
With the sunlight beaming on his face, Elijah stood outside the motel, hands in his pocket, eyes on the sky. His head was still swimming from all that had happened recently, his mind still reeling with the fact that he was getting married again, and it kind of scared him just a little bit. So deep in thought, he didn't hear the door open and didn't connect with reality until Peach hugged him from the back, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head flat on his back. "Hey," She said softly, and he could feel the smile forming on her lips even without turning around to look at her. "What are you doing out here?" "Thinking," Elijah answered truthfully, his voice barely above a whisper as well. "How much of what Madam Jewel said did you hear yesterday before walking in?" "A bit," Silence followed after his answer as her heart frowned at the thought that he might have been hurt by all the awful words Madam Jewel had spewed. "Elijah, you don't..." Peach trailed off,
The Marvelous Elijah's Return What is Elijah doing?
The atmosphere at the conference table immediately grew intense as Mathew, Dean, Tommy, Eli, Elmer, Cora, and Amelia sat at the table the moment Dean uttered, "Mother has confirmed that Peach is hell-bent on marrying Elijah.""This is all your daughter's fault," Elmer mumbled underneath his breath, rubbing his temple in frustration."What did you say?!""It's Melina's fault for bringing that damn bastard into our lives... If she didn't bet on his ass, Peach and her mother would have still known their place beneath us, Tommy would have eventually driven those two out of the motel, and I wouldn't be losing my company to those two. Damnit!"As Dean moved his lips to speak, his phone started ringing, causing him to pull it out of his pocket. When he noticed who was calling, he answered, mumbling, "Mason,""Who is Melina's ex-husband?!" Mason's voice boomed from the other side of the line, sounding furious."Elijah? Why are you asking about him?""Who is he, Dean?!"A frown crept across De

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 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
