The Marvelous Elijah's Return There's a serious problem
A gentle knock on the door made Mr. Bamford look up from the case file on his desk and stared ahead, calling out, "Come in." When the door opened, his secretary Lucy entered his office with a soft smile, saying, "Sir, there's a visitor for you." "Who?" Mr. Bamford replied without looking up from the case file, still reading through the information about the crime he was currently investigating."Madam Jewel Haye," "Hmm," The pen in his hand dropped on the sheet as he lifted his head slightly to glance at his secretary with an eyebrow raised. Then he rested back in his seat and sighed softly, "Send her in," "Yes, sir," Lucy said with a nod.Silently, Mr. Bamford watched her walk out of his office and waited until she closed his door before turning his attention back to the papers on his desk.A couple of minutes went by, then the door opened again, this time to reveal Mrs. Haye. She had her hands tucked into the front pockets of her black fluffy coat as she stepped inside befor
The Marvelous Elijah's Return What did you just say
The sound of her room door opening made Peach raise her head off the pillow and gazed at her mother, standing in the doorway, smiling at her."Can I come in?" Miss Grace asked cheerfully, closing the door behind her and stepping inside the room.Slowly, Peach sat up from the bed, hugging her knees as she rested her head on her kneecaps, feeling a sense of sadness welling up within her as she watched her mother approach her with a warm smile and sit down beside her on the edge of the mattress."James made chicken soup for dinner with rice and vegetables." Miss Grace told her kindly.Shaking her head slowly, Peach said with a sad smile, "I'm too full already, Mama. You should go ahead and eat without me.""Peach, you have been in here all day and have barely put much in your stomach. That's not healthy!" Miss Grace chided her, gently squeezing Peach's hands.One look at her mother and Peach could see her concern clearly written across her wrinkled brows and pursed lips. The sight mad
The Marvelous Elijah's Return With someone powerful
The dining hall was eerily quiet as everybody slowly digested what Madam Jewel had revealed. “A man like Bryan Checks is getting involved with our family?” Mathew, second to Dean, questioned, frowning slightly. “Why? How can a man like that possibly be interested in helping Peach and Grace though?!” Eli exclaimed angrily, clenching and unclenching his fists, feeling angered and confused. Looking at Madam Jewel, Cora frowned slightly at the stress she saw in her mother's eyes and mumbled, “He is someone that never just gets involved with people without ulterior motives, Eli! He loves money and power... nothing else matters to him-” “Money, power, and women,” Amelia said, meeting her sister's eyes. “What?” “We are all missing the bigger picture here. Peach is a woman. Bryan is a man. Men usually get protective over the one they are interested in and would do whatever it takes to keep them protected no matter what, right mom?” t's like a light bulb switched on in Madam Jewel's mi
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Five thousand
A look of fear sparked in Martha's eyes as she helped Dean tie his tie around his neck, and when she got done, she whispered, "Honey, our daughter has suffered a lot.” "What is that supposed to mean?!" Dean said, sounding quite annoyed at the sudden turn in the conversation. Lowering her voice, even more, Martha continued, "Grace hit our daughter when she went to the motel yesterday. Melinda was quite devastated when she came to see me yesterday."At his wife's words, Dean's brows knitted together into a tight frown as he uttered coldly, "Is that so!?""I know Melina did wrong by marrying that man, but Grace doesn't have the right to discipline our daughter when you, her own father, have never raised a hand against her." Martha said, looking up at him with watery eyes as she cried, "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" "I know what you are saying... Grace should worry about training her daughter and not mine. But since she has crossed the line, then I wouldn't have to hold ba
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Josh, stop!
When the door opened again, Ryan and Rookie stepped into the room, and Ryan shut the door before focusing on Elijah.“Boss, you sent for me?” Ryan asked as he approached Elijah at his desk, Rookie close behind him. “I need you two on an assignment. Bryan Checks is you guys' target. Within one month… I need you guys to find out everything that the two of you can about this guy,” Elijah explained in one breath. Quietly, Ryan eyed Rookie, smiling faintly at such an obvious challenge to their abilities. Then he looked back at Elijah and said, “We will need to move out of the motel then, Rookie and I.”A slight frown tugged on Rookie’s lips as he eyed Ryan in confusion, not sure where he was going with this. “We will need to do a lot of Stakeouts and surveillance,” Ryan explained further, “and it would be good to start moving somewhere we can have easy access day and night to this guy, Checks.”“I can find out where he stays.” Rookie responded after just a moment, a small grin playing
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Is that a threat
The calmness in Elijah’s expression never left his face as Josh met his eyes with a look of madness in his gaze and took a step toward him and Peach. Before Madam Jewel could say anything else to Josh, Matt walked in between Josh and Elijah as he tried to roam over to them. “I will fuck you up if you don’t take a step back now!” Matt threatened while pointing to Josh, his voice low and serious as his hand clenched into a fist. “You should know who to mess with, but I will urge you once, ‘it’s not him.” A sense of fear shot through Josh as the warning bell sounded in his brain as he backed off a few feet. However, it didn't last long as he sneered and said, “You are just an employee here! How dare you meddle with my business, you asshole! You don’t want to mess with me and if you keep interfering with this, you will regret it… so back off.” Frowning at her nephew-in-law, Miss Grace shook her head and said, “Matt is not an employee. He’s a client and a customer at this motel. So I
The Marvelous Elijah's Return You don't want to die
After a few minutes of silence and tense tension between Elijah and Madam Jewel, Peach broke the silence and nervously said, “This is not Elijah's fault, and if you want me to apologize to you...”“You don't need to feel remorseful for saying your truth.” Elijah interrupted, his voice slightly calmer compared to before.Pinching his shirt, Peach pouted as she thought, ‘I know. But if you keep provoking her like this, you might also get hurt, and it will be my fault. I can’t let that happen, and I won’t let myself be responsible for it!’.Staring at Elijah's body blocking Peach from her view, Madam Jewel’s gaze flickered towards Elijah and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously, thinking, 'Is he being this defensive with Peach, so she can shield him too because of her connection with Bryan Checks. Does he know that they are dating, and that's why he's risking it all to gain her favor?!’Raising a brow, Madam Jewel looked down on Elijah and mumbled in her head, ‘That must be it. He's way to
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I will make them pay
Looking at Peach's eyes, Elijah sighed, walked away from her, and then sat on the edge of his bed, burying his head in his hands, sighing heavily.“My dad was a hard-working man. He loved my mother like crazy and always tried his best to be a good father and husband. He was funny, caring, and intelligent. He had a good heart...” Peach uttered, pausing as her eyes filled with tears and her voice trailed off.Slowly, Elijah raised his head and looked at Peach with a concerned expression, keeping his silence.Taking another deep breath, Peach continued her story, “When my grandfather passed, Madam Jewel suddenly turned against my father, drove us out of the mansion, and from then on she and her children suppressed our family with all of their power...”When she caught Elijah’s eyes, he patted the side of the bed next to him, smiling sadly at her when he noticed her trembling slightly.Pushing back her hair behind her ear and taking a few steps towards him, Peach walked over to him, sitti

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 Marvelous Elijah's Return Epilogue Two
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
