The Marvelous Elijah's Return Set the records straight
The hall was so silent that if a pin dropped it would cause noise as reporters remained seated in this grand hall, staring at Amelia on stage, sitting behind a mic, and they kept staring at her, with the little notepad in their hands.The early morning news about Axel Jones’ death came to her mind, but she quickly wiped away her tears, and then she said, “Good evening everyone. Thank you all for showing up and accepting my invitation.”As she stared at the faces of the journalist, she knew that her mother would be proud while watching this because these were reporters Madam Jewel handpicked for Amelia to use to their advantage.“This is our side of the story... The media has spread lies about us all because of one man... a man with so much power, who entered into our family, just to destroy us. Everything that has happened to each Hayes, is all Elijah’s doing.” Amelia looked down at the microphone to say, “To me, he’s been nothing but a monster, who is trying to destroy my family, and

The sound of the doorbell made Butler Gray sigh out his frustration and then he walked over to go answer the door.When he opened it, Mr. Bamford was staring back at him with twelve police officers standing behind him.“Good morning, Chief?” Mr. Gray greeted politely. “May I help you?”“Except for the workers, who else from the Hayes family is home?” Mr. Bamford asked.“Madam Jewel is not back from the hospital yet, Ma’am Martha suddenly packed her things and left, so it’s only sir Dean who is inside the resident at this moment.”“Can you get him out here for me?” “Yes, chief.”After Butler Gray left the doorway, it took a while before Dean could appear at the door, smelling of alcohol. His face was blotchy red in anger as he stared at Mr. Bamford.“What do you want?” Dean demanded angrily.“We have an order from the court. You are notified to move out of the mansion within the next twenty-four hours or else tomorrow, we will have full authority to move you by any means necessary to m

Holding Elijah's hand a bit tightly, Peach stared solely at him as they sat in the backseat of the Limousine, on their way to the hospital.“It’s just a check-up,” Elijah said, trying not to let his nervousness show through. “You and little Munchkin are fine.”“I know. I'm just happy... a bit nervous, but happy,” Peach admitted, and then she took a moment to take some deep breaths, then looked at her husband with a small smile. A while later, Elijah walked Peach into Doctor Harry's office, the couple smiled at him when he raised his gaze and beamed at them.“Welcome guys… Sit, please.” Dr. Harry asked politely.After leading Peach to a chair, Elijah took a seat by her and then focused on Dr. Harris as he asked, “So, are you two really to hear your baby's heart-”Suddenly Elijah’s ringtone interrupted the doctor, and with an apologetic look on his face, he stared at Peach as he reached into his pocket for it, mumbling, “I am so sorry, babe.”When he got it out of his pocket, Elijah st

I am butler Anthony, and you must be-”“Bryan. I am Bryan Checks.” Mr. Checks said.“Right. Please come in. My young master is awaiting you.” “Thanks.” Quietly, Bryan followed Anthony through the hallway, and finally, they got to a set of double doors, and then Anthony pushed it open, and announced, “Young master Elijah, Bryan Checks has arrived.”Immediately, Elijah stood from the couch, a smile on his face, and then walked over to Bryan, pulling him in a hug, tapping him three times on the back before releasing.“This place is massive!” Bryan said with a smile.“Excuse me,” Anthony said, bowing slightly before leaving the room.When the doors closed, both Elijah and Checks took a seat on the couch, an

The dining table was quiet as Mr. Williams sat with his daughter-in-law, his son, and Dan, and after a while, Vance asked his father, “So, he’s coming here today?” “Yes,” Dr. Williams said, staring intensely at his food. After a long silence, Julie gazed at him and then said, "Do you think he's about to make his final move?" "If he is, then I will have to come clean... He has done so much for us and weakened Jewel so much that I think it's safe now..." Mr. William mumbled, lifting his head to stare at his son. "What are you not telling us, father?" Vance asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Silence settled in the room and then Mr. Williams whispered, "I did it to protect your cousin." "Uncle Elijah!!" Dan's sudden shout made the three of them turn their heads to stare at the dining room doorway to see Elijah walking into the room. "Elijah... I mean, Mr. Maxwell..." Vance said, looking slightly nervous, knowing that a lot of things had come to light in the media about Elijah
The Marvelous Elijah's Return It's my fault
For so long, the Maxwell massive mansion had never been so lively as it was that evening. The enormous ballroom was decorated in a timeless and romantic theme, with a grand staircase leading up to a second-floor balcony, all-white floral decor and table linens, grand chandeliers, and crystal lamps. All guests wore all neutral colors to blend in with the elegant theme, and even though guests had started arriving an hour ago, more were still coming. The orchestra was playing soft classical music, and the guests enjoyed the scenery while they waited. Slowly Peach's eyelids shut as the makeup artist rubbed on the eyeshadow, and when Peach finally them again, there was still that smile plastered on the artist's face as she admired her work. The room door suddenly burst open and Mrs. Maxwell, Miss Grace, and all the ladies from the book club entered the room, their laughter widening Peach's smile. “Elijah is a lucky groom… His bride is really pretty.” One of the ladies said as they
The Marvelous Elijah's Return She is you two problem now
The night has been one of the hardest for both Elijah and Peach, sleeping in separate rooms, away from each other's touch and comfort, and unable to sleep properly because they couldn't seem to stop craving each other's warm bodies. And when the morning arrived, Peach was staring at the sunrise through the hospital window and wishing that all of this was just a bad dream. But she knew it was not when she saw her mother sleeping on the couch by her side.When Miss Grace opened her eyes, she weakly smiled and asked, “How do you feel now.”“I can’t believe I am going to be spending four months away from him…” Peach whispered, trying not to start crying again because she felt tired from how much sobbing she did that night.“Elijah will be visiting you.” Miss Grace said, waking from the couch. Then she approached the bed and sat down, taking Peach's hand in her own and caressing her knuckles with her thumb. “You know it's not the same, mama.” Peach whispered with a shaky smile.“I know
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Trial
Hearing the smooth sound of Peach’s heart beating in his ear was comforting, and Elijah ran his fingers through her hair slowly, enjoying the gentle sensation as she lay in the comfort of his arms on the hospital bed. A soft smile crossed Peach’s face as she snuggled closer to him, and he chuckled at how cute she was, cuddled in his arm, and he gently ran his hand down her arm before letting it rest there on her stomach. “I feel huge.” Peach whispered, meeting his eyes with a pout. Feeling the warmth from Peach’s abdomen, Elijah’s palm relaxed against her skin, and he could only imagine with a smile on his lips, what it felt like for their child to be growing inside of her. “It feel like days ago that you were complaining that you were not showing and now look at you… glowing with your bum.” Elijah mumbled, rubbing her bare stomach slowly. “I can’t believe little Munchkin turned seven months two days ago…” Peach giggled softly, closing her eyes and nuzzling into his chest.

“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
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
