The Marvelous Elijah's Return Allegations
The anger Elijah felt suddenly burst out of his throat in a bitter laugh as he ignored the pain it caused him, his rage fuelling his courage, and then his face went cold as he said, “I did no such thing, and maybe if our Senator would have used his brain and not his heart-” Frowning, Isabella raised her hand, swinging it for his face, but Elijah caught it in midair and tossed her hand away from him carelessly. “How dare you!” Sen. Butcher shouted, moving for Elijah, but Dice, Larry, and Rick stood in his way, Dice mumbling with a death stare, “Fuck off.” Raw shock flooded Mrs. Butcher's face, and she turned her attention towards her husband who seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he stared frozen at all the men surrounding Elijah. Scowling, Elijah met the senator's gaze, saying, “All I wanted was to congratulate you on turning sixty and have a nice night, but you had to join in with those two in offending me-” “You see yourself as the victim here?!” Isabella lashed out in disbeli
The Marvelous Elijah's Return what are you planning now
As the lights from the cameras went off and on, Matt, Rayn, Rookie, Dice, Jerome, Larry, Rick, and a couple of Elijah's men kept Peach in the middle of them as they made their way out of the hospital parking lot.“Please get out of the way! We are not taking any questions!” Dice announced firmly as the reporter struggled to get a glance at Peach's face.“Mrs. Darius!! What's your intake on the news that your husband forced himself on Jessica Astor last night, at Senator Butcher's party?!” A news lady screamed from the back.Eyes blurry with tears, Peach halted, her fists tightened at such words about Elijah, which Dice and the others had already filled her in on what happened last night.“Mrs. Darius, is it true that your husband bribed the police to side with him on this matter, and that's the only reason Mr. Butchen and his men got arrested last night?” Another journalist asked, pushing up to the front of the pack.“Members of Congress, like other citizens, are subject to investig
The Marvelous Elijah's Return She's coming for him
“Beep... Beep... Beep...” That sound made Peach grip tighten on the knob after she had pushed the door open and saw Elijah lying in the hospital bed, wearing a blue gown. “They're going to wake him up, right?” Peach whispered, unable to move from where she stood, swallowing down her fear. “Yes. Mr. Darius was in so much pain last night, that’s why we had to put him to sleep, but he will awake. It’s just a twenty-four-hour thing. He is just sleeping.” Dr. Wilson's voice startled her, making Peach jump back a little before she turned around to see the doctor holding a clipboard. A gentle smile graced his lips as he laughed softly, “Sorry for scaring you, by showing up from out of nowhere.” “It’s fine.” Peach said, almost in a whisper, giving the doctor a weak smile as she slowly brushed her palm against her arm. There was a brief pause as Dr. Wilson stared at her puffy wet eyes, darting left and right. Then he softly sighed, widening his smile to comfort her, and then asked “

The hospital was so quiet at midnight as Cora walked down the hallway, and the closer she got to Elijah’s room, she could hear her heart pounding loudly in her ears, seeing all the men standing in line, guarding the room. ‘Mother didn’t tell me that this place was going to be swamped with his bodyguards… I feel like I am about to assassinate a president or something.’ Cora mumbled in her head, adjusting the mask on her face to make sure no one recognized her.When she got to the door, she hesitated, wondering if any of them were going to stop her. But when no one said a word, she pushed the door open, walking calmly into the room, suppressing the nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.After she shut the door behind her, she turned to see Elijah lying on his back, his face away from her, directed at the right wall, and the pillows that his head wasn’t resting on, blocking his face from her view. Knowing time was not on her side, she walked over to the bedside, focusing only on hi
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Divorce
A faint laugh left Peach’s lips, her shaky eyes on Elijah, wondering if he was kidding or not, and yet the seriousness in his gaze told her what she feared. There was so much emotion flooding her that Peach had no idea how to deal with it all. She did know one thing though, the feelings were too strong for her to be able to hold them in and pretend like everything was fine. “I have this thing with my dad that requires me to keep my identity a secret and...” Elijah trailed off, seeing the hurt in her eyes as she darted her gaze away from him, her shaky hand nervously exploring the skin of her face. “Peach... I couldn't tell anybody... I...” “It’s just a name, but why does it hurt so much to know that you lie about it, Elijah?” Peach whispered looking up at her husband once more. “How can just a name leave me with so much doubt about you, about us?” Seeing her body shudder, Elijah reached for Peach's hand, but she pulled back, awaking from the bed, and his heart ached as he let out
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I want Elijah and Peach dead
The sound of the doorbell echoing through the house made everyone tense up, especially Peach because by now, they all knew that Elijah's father was visiting.“Mama,” Peach whispered as Miss Grace reached for the doorknob, grabbing onto her mother's arm.“Breathe, honey.” Miss Grace mumbled, twisting the doorknob, and then she pulled it open.Standing on the porch was a pure white-haired man with a casual dress shirt and jeans, and yet, he had this aura of importance, and his presence was commanding as he stared from beneath his glasses a smile tugging on the corners of his lips.Looking over at Peach, his smile widened, and he said cheerfully, “Let me guess, you are Peach?”With a nod, she gave a nervous grin, saying, “Yes, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Maxwell.”His smile faded, and Peach remembered what Elijah said about his dad and him having this thing about his identity, and a sense of worry shot through her.“Ah... I feel guilty that it's my fault my daughter-in-law is
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I am not going to run
When the sound of her room door cracking open echoed in her ear, Miss Grace jumped from her sleep and looked over at her daughter, standing in the doorway. “Peach, honey... It's five am... What's the matter?” Miss Grace asked, sitting up in bed, her voice still raspy with sleep. Pouting, Peach shut the door, walked over to her mother, and climbed into her bed, hugging her. “I am nervous, mama... Not even the internet knows how much he's worth... It was easier when he was just an ordinary man, but now...” Peach trailed off as she held onto her mom. Smiling softly, Grace stroked her daughter's hair, and after a while, she whispered, “Honey, why did you fall in love with Elijah?” “The first time I met him, he was grumpy, but his eyes told me a different story... I could tell he was hurt... Maybe there was something about his wounded soul that made me curious, and then he slowly unraveled his personality...” Peach whispered. Then she raised her head to stare at her mother, mumbli

“Are you sure that you want to go?” Elijah mumbled, watching Peach as she left the bed.Looking back at her husband, Peach smiled softly. “I am just going to pop in and out of the company. I have been feeling a bit restless, and I want to check how things are going there.”Even though Elijah knew that they had capable employees, he could see that Peach was stressed, and he sighed, saying, “Okay.”“Thanks, babe. I will be home before you know it.” Peach replied, kissing him gently on the cheek before leaving for the bathroom.After the door shut behind her, Elijah climbed out of bed and walked over to the window, opening it slightly to look outside. When the sound of their bedroom door opened after three knocks, Elijah turned his gaze away from the window to meet Rookie’s eyes, and his man let out, “Should you be standing up with those wounds?”“The pain is not the same as one week ago,” Elijah said, taking careful steps away from the window. His feet felt heavy on the tiled floor

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
