The Marvelous Elijah's Return Marriage Contract
As Peach and Elijah sat in the backseat of the vehicle with Matt behind the steering wheel, the atmosphere was awkward as the two tried not to look at each other. Even Matt was concerned about how quiet they both were and glanced in the rearview mirror, noticing that Peach's lips were puckered together as if she was deep in thought. With his gaze on the windshield, Elijah's index finger slowly rubbed against his bottom lips, and then finally darted his eyes towards Peach. "A penny for your thoughts," He quietly remarked, his voice low. With her eyes fixed on the file of her grandfather's will, Peach hesitated for a while before deciding to open her mouth and speak, "It's nothing." "It's nothing," Elijah commented as he shifted his gaze to glance at her. She sighed heavily, and stared out the window, her heart sinking, "I don't know what to do... There's a dilemma, and it has my thoughts spinning. And my mind is telling me something, but my heart is screaming at me not to do it."
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Is it necessary?
As Miss Grace stood in front of her daughter's room door, she raised her knuckles to knock, but then hesitated before grabbing the doorknob, and pushing the door open. Quietly, she stepped into the bedroom to see Peach in bed, sleeping soundly, hugging a pillow. A smile graced her lips, and she stared tenderly at her daughter, and after a moment of that, she was about to leave when a file on Peach's desk got her attention. A feeling of hesitation filled her as she approached the desk, and as her hand hovered over the folder, she took a deep breath. Finally, Miss Grace pushed aside her fear of invading Peace's privacy, picked up the file, opened it, and read the contents. Her heart skipped a beat when she got done, and she hastily rushed over to her daughter's bedside and tapped her gently on the back. "Peach, wake up." Miss Grace's voice echoed in Peach's ears softly. Her eyes blinked open slowly as she looked at her mother standing above her, watching her with a concerned l
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Dislocate it
With a tiny black shopping bag that had a gold handle in his hand, Michael stared at Ryan and Rookie, who stood to watch over him without saying a word."Why are none of you speaking?! Are both of you deaf or stupid? I have already told you guys my name and who I am here to see, so why the hell is the other one of you staying so damn long?" Michael lashed out in a low tone, watching the volume of his voice so Peach can not think of him as someone rude and entitled.With an unamused expression, Ryan looked over at Rookie, clearly pissed, but he didn't want to act before Elijah got there because he wasn't sure how his boss wanted to handle this douche."Who are you guys, Huh?" Michael asked again with more force as if he was hoping they would answer. But the two only seem more aggravated, like the mere sight of him was causing them annoyance and they wanted to be anywhere but with him. Michael huffed at them with an indignant scowl and then he looked Ryan in the eyes, stabbing his f
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Round it up to a thousand
Looking at Michael squared in his face, Elijah couldn't stop himself from glaring at him with his hard and narrowed eyes and said, "It wouldn't be necessary coming back here... You heard Peach, didn't you? Didn't you pick up the word, 'Never,' in what she said?" His voice was so venomous and it sent chills through Michael's body. But he remained strong even though Elijah wasn't making it easy on him. When they were close enough, Elijah leaned in and lowered his voice, glaring into Michael's eyes and whispering threateningly in his ear, "Showing up in someone's face that doesn't want you to is call harassment, and do you know what happened to people who don't know how to take a hint, huh?" Chills ran through Michael's body, and he felt Elijah's warm breath hit his ears as he spoke, and he could feel goosebumps rising on his skin. 'Why does he have such an aura...?!' Michael thought, feeling frozen and helpless against his intense and dangerous presence, but didn't want to show
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Deal
The door to Elijah's room opened, and Ryan stopped a distance away from the doorway, after shutting it, staring at Elijah, wearing a white shirt, dark brown pants, and monk strap dress shoes. "Bryan's driver is here to pick you up." Ryan's voice came out hoarse. "Thanks. I am almost done here." Elijah let out, turning back around towards his desk and picking up his watch. A brief silence settled over them for a moment as Elijah fastened his watch on his wrist before Ryan spoke up again. "Thanks, boss," "For what?" Elijah looked up from his watch, meeting Ryan's eyes. A spark of gratitude flashed across Ryan's face when he answered. "For standing up for me," "Ryan, If a man wants people around him that are willing to fight for him, he should also prove to them that he's ready to fight for their life in return," Elijah uttered as he picked up his keys. "You can't get loyalty from others by not showing them you are loyal towards them." To hear his boss's humble words made Matt w
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A gangster tendency
"Peach, honey, you can't stay in your room forever!" Miss Grace said, unable to get over the fact that it was two o'clock, but her daughter was still sleeping. Squeezing her eyes shut, Peach rolled back to look up at the ceiling. If only her mother would leave her be and let her be alone, she wouldn't have to deal with all of this! "Peach," Miss Grace said again, a bit louder than before, "you're not sleeping! I know that!" A frown crossed Peach's face, and finally, she got out of bed and stumbled to her room door, throwing it open, and then sighed softly at her mother who stood by the front door. "What all did you not tell me about last night?" Miss Grace asked sternly as Peach walked back into the room. "Mama, not now," Peach cried, flopping onto her bed and burying her face into her pillow. "We have to do this now, Peach." Miss Grace repeated as she closed the door behind herself, moving closer to her daughter. "Why did Elijah tell Michael that you are already taken, and war
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I hate you so much, Elijah
A faint smirk crossed Elijah's face, thinking Peach was joking, as he chuckled lightly. However, seeing her expression, he stopped chuckling and said, "What?!" "I don't think I can go back home and have the same strength that I mustered up today to deny my mother's request... If not now... I don't think..." Peach trailed off, lowering her head. "What did Miss Grace say?" Elijah asked calmly, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "That you have a gangster tendency, and I need a man that is not as complicated as you," "Wow..." A small laugh escaped Elijah's mouth as he glanced at her, and then he sighed quietly, shaking his head. "I am not marrying you without your mother's concern, Peach" Elijah muttered, his voice low and steady, Tilting her head sideways, Peach gazed at him curiously and said, "Why are you telling me this? I thought it would be something you wanted... that you were waiting for me to tell you." "Yeah, but... we are going to do this the right way," Elijah stated,
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I will let Peach go
With a dead-serious expression on his face, he met Peach's tears eyes as she sniffed softly, making sure her gaze was locked on his, and he reached out and cupped her chin, saying softly, "Do you really hate me?"Slowly, Peach shook her head, lowering her gaze slightly and muttering, "No… I love you. And, it feels a million times harder because I can't hate you... Why did you have to put me through that? I told you to stay in the car!"In silence, Elijah watched her struggle to hold back a sob, his heart breaking as she stared at the floor with puffy eyes and hiccups, her hands clasped together."Why are you so emotional, Peach?" Elijah asked, his brows furrowing deeply as he continued to hold her chin, tilting it upwards so that he could see her face clearly. "Why do you look so fragile like the day your mother got hurt?... I'm just a lowlife loser with a gangster impulse, so why do you feel so vulnerable for me?""Because you messed up my heart, Elijah. It doesn't care about your

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
