The driver slowly lowered his weapon, watching Elijah’s eyes, and seeing no trace of fear or anger inside them, he took a step forward toward Elijah and spoke, “I am nowhere related to you or this person that wants you dead. Hell, I don’t give a shit about this whole situation. I am in this for the bag, and if you think you can buy your life back, I am down with your deal.”

“Buy my life back,” Elijah snorted before saying, “Sure, let’s see it that way.”

The way Elijah looked unbothered by their threat had them even more confused, and the driver hesitated for a moment before putting his knife back into his belt. “Alright, okay. We'll do it your way. Now please, get inside the van.”

“Nah, it doesn’t work that way,” Elijah stated bluntly, pausing as a taxi suddenly came to a stop right by them. “Our ride is here.”

“He’s getting in a freaking taxi, Lex!” One of the men whispered firmly to the driver.

“I can see that!” Lex exclaimed.

  • The Marvelous Elijah's Return   Jealous

    Even though Matt's words were firm enough, one look for Elijah made him know that his boss was about to do something stupid and reckless. “This guy is right... Zac always carries a gun, and your skin is not bulletproof, so you need to listen to your man.” Lex said, frowning at Elijah. Reading the faces of the men around him, Elijah knew that none of them was going to side with him on this one, and he paced back and forth for a while, his mind racing and thinking of every single idea possible. The more he thought, the angrier he became, and then the storm rising in him simply ceased. “We need to make sure Dr. William's great-grandson does not reach that mansion,” Elijah stated firmly as he turned to look at all of them. “We need to get the boy and use him to our advantage.” “We can get the kids for you, but it's going to cost you,” Teddy said, testing the water to see if Elijah's desperation will make him pay more. “Get the kid, and I will pay four times what Texan offered yo

  • The Marvelous Elijah's Return   Hospital Bed

    Standing in the parking lot of Silvershore hotel, Mr. William's body trembled as he stared at the main road, anxiously waiting for Elijah, his mind running wild with thoughts about little Dan's safety. A couple of minutes later, a Mercedes that he immediately recognized pulled into the parking lot, coming to a stop a slight distance away from him. When the door opened he saw his daughter-in-law rush from the car, and then she hurried into his arms, wrapping her hands around him tightly as he held onto her desperately. As soon as Dr. Williams pulled away from her, she cried out, “Is Dan-” “Elijah ordered that we should wait here for him.” Dr. William said between shaking gasps, trying to keep tears away as he looked at her worried face. “He’s going to bring him.” “We should call the police-” “Let’s not act irrational, Julie. We should at least wait on him and do as he says until he gets here.” “What if he doesn't?” “Let’s not pray for the worst.” Hugging onto her body, Julie an

    Even though the question was running about in Elijah's head to ask the doctor, when he saw the nervous look on his face, he hesitated, and then said nothing.After a long pause, the doctor sighed, picked up the fork with the knife, and started cutting the roast beef, not daring to look at anyone else.“That’s all we are going to get?” Teddy mumbled, breaking the silence and causing the room to fall completely quiet again before he added, “I mean, that's criminal to just leave the story at such an interesting part.”Sighing, Mr. Williams lowered the knife but kept his gaze focused on the food as he spoke in a low voice. “There isn’t… if I tell you more, it would only end in disaster.”However, when he finally raised his gaze to meet Elijah's eyes, he looked remorseful and then asked, “Would you like to have dinner with my family, at our place, after all this is over?” “Yes,” Elijah agreed in a quiet tone and glanced over at his men.The gate of the Williams mansion opened and police c

  • The Marvelous Elijah's Return   Author Announcement

    So, I went back to the drawing board with this book, reevaluating the plotline and taking my time to figure out how to wrap up this story and give it closure. Yes, the story is ending this month, hopefully, the last week of October, but I don't plan to drag it into November. Regular updates will start tomorrow. This month is also my final exams month, so the pressure is there. I read all the comments about you guys not wanting a long story, and I am not a big fan of that either, so let's bring this bad boy to an end and move on. Well, see you all tomorrow with new chapters, and to everyone that reached out to "author Rever" on all platforms, thanks for the kind words. Thank you all for the gems, time, and money you have spent on my work. Sincerely Author Rever

    Silently, Elijah studied Dr. William's face for any sign of lying, which he never found in the doctor's expression. Finally, Elijah leaned forward and said, “Let me get this clear, so none of the seven is his?”“Yes. Hayes fathered none of Jewel's children.” Dr. William replied.There was a long pause as Elijah tried to force his brain to come to terms with that fact and then he scoffed in disbelief, shocked about how much Madam Jewel had gotten away with.“Do you have a copy of the results?” Elijah finally asked after collecting his thoughts.Dr. Williams's face fell, remorse and guilt evident as he whispered, “No… I gave Hayes those because he requested them the day Meeks visited him at the hospital... The copies were all destroyed after his death… Jewel said that if anything about the results come out in any way, I and my children would be dead, so I had to do what I had to do to protect their life...”After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, “If Meeks didn’t get killed,

    As he stared at her bare body while she reached out for her robe, Josh sighed, running his fingers into his hair, mumbling, “I am divorced now. There’s no need for us to keep this a secret anymore and keep having sex in remote places like this.”A soft, yet humorless laugh slipped from her lips as she wore her robe, turned to face him, and then said, “You think you are more special than the rest, huh?”“Well, your screams last night said so, and we have been doing this for years. Why would you keep having sex with me if I was not special, sweetheart?” Josh cockily uttered, pushing the sheets off him as he got out of bed.“I wish I would have ended up with her Ex-husband, then her brother since Melina used to love bragging about how great he was in bed and gentle-”“Jessica!”“What?! Huh?! I screamed because you are always rough! But just because I like that doesn't mean you are special.”Rage flashed across Josh’s eyes before his gaze softened as he shook his head, remembering what he

    The sight of Jessica made Elijah frown slightly, but when their eyes locked, he immediately turned his focus back on Sen. Butcher who was now shaking hands with Bryan. “Happy birthday, Mr. Butcher. It's always my pleasure getting an invitation to your birthday celebrations each year.” Bryan said with a faint grin as he let go of the old man's hand. Returning a small smile, Mr. Butcher then darted his eyes on Elijah, mumbling, “Not a lady tonight... you have upgraded your plus one to someone way more intriguing.” “Happy birthday Congressman Butcher. It's my honor to be here to celebrate your big sixty...” Elijah humbly replied, but the look in his eyes was still piercing even though he tried not to show it. His gaze softened slightly when he saw the calm smile Mr. Butcher had sent him which was enough to put Elijah's heart at ease and to make him grin at the old man. “Isabella, come here, please.” Mr. Butcher instructed, looking back at a young beauty, pointing to the young woman

    Even though Dice was confused as to why there was a bunch of men coming toward him and a lady shouting in the bathroom when it should only be Elijah and the janitor, he stood his ground, ready to defend.“What is going on?” Dice firmly asked, glaring at Tony, the five men, and Josh rushing toward him with a deadly aura surrounding them. “Step aside!” Tony shouted, puffing his chest as he stopped in front of Dice.“What do you guys want?”“Move!!”Suddenly they heard Jessica screaming from within, her voice shaky, “Elijah, I am begging you... You are hurting me!”After overhearing the conversation outside, Elijah frowned slightly as he reached into his coat pocket with a sigh, and took out his phone, holding it against the left side of his chest, directing it casually at Jessica, who was too busy playing her role to see that he was recording her.Eyeing the two guys on his right, Tony winked at them as a signal, making both men rush for Dice, causing him to step back from the door and

    “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.
