The Marvelous Elijah's Return Whatever it is I need to do
As the silence between them dragged on, Peach felt her anxiety growing inside her. Finally, she muttered, "You know what, forget it. I will find another way to get the money."Her face hardened as tears settled in her eyes, and she tried walking past him, but Elijah suddenly grabbed her arms, gently pulling her to stand still in front of him."How?" Elijah asked, his gaze fixed on her teary eyes as she choked back her tears."It's none of your concern!" Peach yelled, pulling herself free from his grasp. "You have made it clear that you don't-""I have made nothing clear," Elijah interrupted her sharply, glaring at her heatedly. "I asked you a single damn question!""I don't know, okay!! I have absolutely no idea!" Peach shouted as she clenched both her fists tightly, feeling angry tears burn her cheeks and threaten to spill. "But whatever it is I need to do to help my mother, I will do it!""What's going on here?" James asked as he, Matt, Ryan, and Rookie walked towards them with a fr

As they walked into the front door of the hospital, Peach kept her hands clapped to her side and her eyes locked on the floor. When Elijah noticed how uneasy she was, he felt a small amount of guilt creeping into his heart but quickly suppressed it, keeping his focus ahead of him, walking beside her."Miss Peach," A nurse said with a smile, meeting her from the opposite direction."Mrs. Williams, good afternoon... How is my mother's condition?" Peach said with a slight nod, ignoring Elijah standing close to her."Her condition has gotten better since this morning, and she even got a visitor." "Visitor?!" A sense of worry flashed across Peach's features and her heart skipped a beat. She knew her mother had only her, and the fact that someone visited was not a good sign. Especially when that someone was most likely her father's..."Your uncle Tommy is here with his wife to see her." Mrs. William then informed Peach with a polite smile, causing her eyes to widen in surprise."No!!" P

Instantly, Tommy stopped in his steps, masking his urge to smirk with a bitter and stern expression as he stared deeply at his sister-in-law and then at Peach."Well, look who finally decided to know her place and behave like how you suppose to behave in your low status!" Tommy remarked, his words laced with venom and sarcasm.Then he walked over to Miss Grace, handed her the paper, and commanded, "Sign it, and let's stop beating around the bush about this matter! I am being very generous, you know!" With trembling hands, Miss Grace slowly reached out for the papers, tears rolling from her eyes, but before she got a hold of it, Peach grabbed the sheet and shredded it to pieces as tears ran down her face.The anger in her eyes as she did it was something that no one has ever seen on her face before.Then Peach looked at Tommy with pure disgust and contempt and yelled at him, "Your father and my dad must be rolling in their grave because of your actions. You are just a despicable human

Scratching the back of his hair, Elijah walked towards the face basin, grabbed toothpaste and toothbrush, squeezing the paste onto the brush before beginning to scrape his teeth. His thoughts subconsciously drifted back to yesterday, the moment he and Peach hugged, and he spat into the sink before rinsing his mouth out. "Maybe I have been going about this the wrong way," Elijah mumbled as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly. After getting to the last button, he scowled and muttered, "I need someone that knows Syldavia... But can I trust Peach?" Pulling his shirt off his shoulders, Elijah took in a deep breath and eyed her reflection in the mirror.Since he entered Syldavia, he never really had the chance to explore the country because he was busy being a loyal and stay-at-home-husband to Melina.But now, he really needed to start learning his way around the country, and his first option was Peach, but the trust factor in their relationship wasn't quite there.With another sigh, Elijah

Others' attention quickly gathered towards Elijah and the salesgirl, and they heard some murmurs around them, which made Elijah smirk. "Why is he still acting headstrong when he can't afford the jacket?" Some woman mused as she stared at Elijah, shaking her head in disapproval."Seriously, can't he just take a hint? Why can't he understand that it's not good to act so arrogantly when he doesn't have the money for any of these clothes?" A guy scoffed as he eyed the jacket in Elijah's hands.Hardening his face, a fellow met Elijah's eyes, and then his face deepened into a scowl, his eyebrows furrowed over his blue eyes, and he mumbled, "You are that guy from the news?!" "Boss, it seems like you are way too famous in a negative light. So maybe we should just forget about the jacket and get out of here before it gets ugly." Ryan whispered after leaning toward Elijah's ear.But his words seemed to set Elijah off once again, and his eyes narrowed, as his face contorted in rage, and he

For a while, Elijah stared into this stranger's eyes, both of them holding back their tongue, and their expression unreadable as if they were having a standoff."Wow, if I didn't watch the news, I would have never believed a man of such aura and vital presence was the useless house-husband of Miss Melina." The stranger broke the silence by saying, looking at Elijah with interest as though he was examining a priceless gem.Yet, Elijah felt disinterested in whatever this guy had to say, so he simply ignored him and kept on staring at the woman standing in front of them."So, about your manager..." Elijah asked, looking at the woman in a composed manner."When I thought you couldn't get any intriguing, you prove me wrong again, huh?" The handsome man smirked and shook his head.Drawing a long breath, Elijah raised a brow and looked at him with suspicion, asking, "Are you trying to flirt with me?"The woman at the counter pressed her lips in a firm line, holding in her giggle as her eyes

The office was quiet for what felt like forever, and Allen was sweating profusely under his suit. He wanted to say something, anything to make things alright between himself and Elijah.But he couldn't think of anything that might ease the situation. So instead, he decided to say nothing.After another long pause, Elijah finally let out a sigh and then leaned forward, resting his elbow on the armrest of his chair, and placing his chin upon his knuckles. "Do you want to rethink your answer?" Elijah asked quietly, tilting his head to the side to catch a glimpse of his eyes.Still unable to find any words, Allen stood there, shaking his head slowly, and then he said timidly, "No! No... I mean... I can't. Please don't push this any longer... Mr. Maxwell. I mean, Darius. I will gladly tell you everything you need to know about your account, but not someone else's."Leaning forward further, Elijah's voice lowered even more, "That's good then.""Please... I... wait, huh?!" Allen stammered,

After Elijah took the briefcase from Matt and walked off, he did not look back to see if Peach was following him.Knowing how unstable his mood can get, Peach got off the stool and nervously followed after Elijah, watching his back closely.The moment he got to his room door, he finally stopped, and looked back at her, standing behind him with her hands clenched by her sides.His expression softened as he opened the door, walking in, and Peach silently walked in behind him.After Elijah closed the door, he threw his briefcase on the bed and turned back, facing Peach who stood there, a few feet away from him."What's wrong?" Elijah asked her, noticing how sad she looked."Nothing," Peach mumbled as Elijah approached her."Don't lie," Elijah responded, cupping Peach's face in his warm palm and wiping away any traces of tears from her cheeks.With a sigh, Peach gave Elijah a small smile and whispered, "I was talking with James about my family, and it's the reason why I lost control of my

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

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 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
