As Ryan rested his suitcase on the bed, he looked back when his room door burst open, and Matt rushed into the room.

“What?!” Ryan asked, tossing a t-shirt into his suitcase.

“Rookie just showed me this!” Matt said, holding up his phone in his hand.

Annoyed, Ryan snatched his phone with a blank expression on his face and played the video, his eyes widened slightly.

“So when Boss and Peach went out… Damn!!” Ryan gasped as he listened to Peach confronting Jessica on the video.

“Damn indeed…” Matt agreed with a chuckle.

“Does the boss know that someone uploaded what happened at the bar onto the internet?”

“Yeah, Rookie told him.”

The room fell silent after Matt stopped talking, but eventually, Ryan broke the silence as he mumbled, “With the lies that Melina spread and now video of this Jessica person confronting boss, he’s never going to escape the rumors.”

There was a long pause, and then Matt frownes and said, “You think! The fact that he carried her out of the bar like that

    Even though Miss Grace could see the pain in her daughter's eyes, she ignored it and informed her with a smile, “The guys are leaving, and they want to see you before they leave.”Sniffing away the tears that were forming in her eyes, a look of shock spread across Peach's face before she cleared her throat and asked, “They are leaving...? Where to? Why?!”The two had not told Miss Grace anything either, and she just shrugged her shoulder and replied, “That I don't know,”“Elijah too?!” Peach blurted out before she could get a grip on her tongue. After the conversation her mother and she just had, Peach felt a sudden sense of awkwardness, but Miss Grace only smiled and said, “It’s only Ryan and Rookie.”“Oh,” Peach said quietly, looking down at her lap.After a few minutes of silence passed by, Miss Grace patted her hand and said, “Freshen up and come downstairs because they won't leave without saying ‘goodbye’ to you?” As they stood in the lobby of the hotel, Rookie eyed Ryan, Mat

    ‘One week,’ Peach thought nervously, eyeing Elijah before picking at the green beans on her plate, feeling the silence around the table.A loud sigh escaped James' lips as he rested back in his seat and then let out, “I know I said that I won’t miss those two, but now I can only think about how much it's annoying knowing they're not here with us...”A weak smile formed on Peach’s face as she focused on James and said, “Yeah, it just doesn't feel right not having them with us… at least, one week has gone by, so we are getting closer to seeing them again.”How accurate she was with the time that had passed made Elijah's eyes drift towards her, knowing that since the day Ryan and Rookie left he had been keeping his distance from her and trying his hardest to keep himself occupied. They had been staying away from each other and even though it felt strange Elijah didn’t want to admit it; he missed spending time together with her, and he hated seeing the disappointment in her eyes when th

    “Oh my God!!” Miss Grace cried in horror as the guy rushed for Matt with the blade aimed right for his neck and a wicked smile plastered across his face.Not even putting much thought into it, Matt jumped in the air, swung his right leg, and slammed his foot into the exact spot he hit first on the guy’s chest, sending him flying off the ground and landing hard on the concrete floor in a heap.“He’s not waking up! Matt, he's not getting up!!” Miss Grace panicked, turning around with a tear in her eye.Silently Elijah walked over to the guy, kicked the blade aside, squatted, and placed his fingertip toward his bloodstained nose, feeling the warm air flowing onto his skin and exhaling deeply with relief as he whispered, "He's still breathing."Glancing over at Matt, Elijah met his eyes and said, “Can you get my car key, and wallet from my desk. Let’s take this dude to a hospital,”It was too early for him to start getting in such serious trouble, and Elijah wanted to prevent that from ha

    The entire situation had Elijah deep in thought, and yet, alarmed, knowing that these guys were trouble and dangerous, and two against seven in such a situation didn't seem like a fair fight.“You know I have been counting days for my injuries to fully heal so that I can find your ass and beat the hell out of you…” Dice said, looking away from Jerome and staring at Elijah.Even though the tension in the air was so murderous, Elijah's eyes remained calm and his expression stayed neutral, looking straight into Dice’s eyes.“And then you do this shit... hospitalized my damn son by beating the hell outta his sorry ass and trying to kill him...” Dice said in a dead tone as he tilted his head. “Do you have some death wish, boy?!”Such a threat made Matt’s anger spike, and he blurted out without a care, “If your son didn't try to stab a knife into my boss’s neck, I wouldn't have lost my cool, and this conversation won't be taking place in a hospital room!”“So you are the one that did this t

    The living room of the Hayes mansion was quiet, until Dean walked into the doorway, and saw his mother, reading a newspaper.Shutting it, Madam Jewel watched the look of disappointment on his face and then asked, “Why do you look so dejected?”Sluggishly, Dean shrugged and sat down on the couch opposite his mother, before speaking again, “Elijah got nothing to lose!”Those words made Madam Jewel raise her eyebrows in shock, and she put down her paper to give her son an incredulous look. “After waiting one week and expecting an answer, is that all Vlad has to report?! What kind of nonsense background investigation is that!” Madam Jewel questioned, looking at her son with disdain. “Well, he did his job, but no one in the country seems to truly know who Elijah is... except it's related to Melina or rumors about him and Peach. He has no work history, no family or friends, and he doesn’t seem to even go to school or college...” Dean said, trying to figure out how else to explain the situ

    At three o’clock on a warm Wednesday, one after another, flashy cars started driving into the yard of the Hayes’ and family members started arriving for the family meeting.And by four o’clock, a black Range Rover pickup rolled into the yard, and when it came to a stop, Josh and his wife, Iris stepped out, her holding onto his arm.“Do you know why grandma wants everyone here again,” Iris whispered as her husband led her towards the mansion. But he was too moody to care and answered her questions because Madam Jewel lashed out at him the day they got back from the motel, and his anger was still fresh, even though it was days ago.The sound of a car engine made Josh stop to see a Porsche 356 GTi, coming to a halt right next to the Land Rover.When the driver door opened, Melina stepped out, wearing a dress, which hugged her curves in a very revealing way, frowning at her brother because she was still mad at him. “Sister-in-law,” Iris cried as Melina approached the couple.The fact t

    Running his fingers in his hair, Elijah paced slowly around the room with his phone pressed against his ear as he said, "Yeah, morning, Ryan."As he walked into the room of the hotel suite, Rookie moved his lips to speak, but he froze, staring at Ryan sitting on the edge of the bed when he heard him say, "Boss, week three report,""I am listening," Elijah answered, pausing in the middle of the room. "This week, Bryan Check met up with Mr. Adams, President of the Light world company, Mrs. D'Alencias, CEO of Caelum Technologies, and Mr. David Rossi, chairman of Rossi Industries. We investigated these three for suspicious activity in their businesses, but they are clean..." Ryan said, eyeing Rookie when he sat by him.Allowing those words to sink in his thoughts, Elijah began pacing again as he muttered under his breath, “Clean?”Feeling uneasy by his boss's tone and question, Ryan paused, putting the call on speaker for Rookie to hear, and said, "We have been following Bryan for thre

    After an hour-plus drive, Elijah pulled into a small clearing. Getting out of his car, Elijah and Matt stared at the old warehouse in front of them, and how deserted this area was."Boss, it's not too late to get back into the car," Matt whispered, gesturing to the car behind them. "I don't think it's safe to walk to the warehouse..."Patting Matt on the back, Elijah smiled and teased, "Grow some backbone, man."'I have a backbone. I'm just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart.' Matt thought to himself, keeping quiet about his concerns. 'I don't want this to go South, boss.'Shaking his head lightly, Elijah pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and stopped at Jerome's number, dialing it without hesitation.The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, "Hey, boss.""I'm outside. Come out," Elijah ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.The line went

    “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.
