The glass door pushed open, and Elijah walked into the restaurant along with Matt, his hands stuck in his pockets as he advanced toward the front desk.

Like a celebrity with bad publicity, he immediately grabbed the attention of the famous faces in the restaurant, giving him many stares, which he ignored.

“Hey, I'm here to meet Clyde Fangio,” Elijah told the lady sitting behind the desk as he looked down at her, a blank and uninterested look plastered on his face.

Looking up to meet his eyes, she gave a small smile, and mumbled, “Right, Elijah-”

“Darius,” Elijah answered simply.

Her gaze darted nervously from Elijah to Matt and back to Elijah, mumbling, “Okay, the second floor, room three.”

Nodding slightly, Elijah pulled away from the counter with Matt right behind him, ignoring the conversation between the two receptionists.

“He really is good-looking... Sadly, he is that way...” The lady with the long brown hair commented.

“Yeah... It's disturbing that he is still showing hi

    Putting his card back into his wallet, Elijah stared into Mr. Fangios' eyes coldly and then scoffed before turning on his heel and walking away with Matt. "Wait!! How can you guys let him leave?!..." Mr. Fangio's voice sounded desperate. "He hasn't-" "He has paid his bill, Mr. Fangio." The receptionist said, interrupting his sentence. Looking at her for a few seconds, Mr. Fangio frowned and turned his head to glare at the security guards before chasing after Elijah, shouting, "Wait! Let's talk more... I-" The door shut closed behind Elijah and Mr. Fangio picked up his pace, running fast, gaining frowns from people that knew who he was, and the fact that he was chasing after someone like Elijah made no sense to them. When he finally caught up with Elijah outside of the restaurant, he took a second to catch his breath, watching Elijah glare at him. "Who's your boss?... I can negotiate a better price... Now, I know that I underestimated you a bit." Mr. Fangio stated, breathing har

    With the sunlight beaming on his face, Elijah stood outside the motel, hands in his pocket, eyes on the sky. His head was still swimming from all that had happened recently, his mind still reeling with the fact that he was getting married again, and it kind of scared him just a little bit. So deep in thought, he didn't hear the door open and didn't connect with reality until Peach hugged him from the back, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head flat on his back. "Hey," She said softly, and he could feel the smile forming on her lips even without turning around to look at her. "What are you doing out here?" "Thinking," Elijah answered truthfully, his voice barely above a whisper as well. "How much of what Madam Jewel said did you hear yesterday before walking in?" "A bit," Silence followed after his answer as her heart frowned at the thought that he might have been hurt by all the awful words Madam Jewel had spewed. "Elijah, you don't..." Peach trailed off,

    The atmosphere at the conference table immediately grew intense as Mathew, Dean, Tommy, Eli, Elmer, Cora, and Amelia sat at the table the moment Dean uttered, "Mother has confirmed that Peach is hell-bent on marrying Elijah.""This is all your daughter's fault," Elmer mumbled underneath his breath, rubbing his temple in frustration."What did you say?!""It's Melina's fault for bringing that damn bastard into our lives... If she didn't bet on his ass, Peach and her mother would have still known their place beneath us, Tommy would have eventually driven those two out of the motel, and I wouldn't be losing my company to those two. Damnit!"As Dean moved his lips to speak, his phone started ringing, causing him to pull it out of his pocket. When he noticed who was calling, he answered, mumbling, "Mason,""Who is Melina's ex-husband?!" Mason's voice boomed from the other side of the line, sounding furious."Elijah? Why are you asking about him?""Who is he, Dean?!"A frown crept across De

    As Matt drove the car in silence, he looked back at Elijah, staring out the opened passenger window, and then he mumbled, "I know you don't talk a lot about your marriage to Melina, but I think Peach is really in love with you...""You will think those words twice after being with a manipulative, twisted psychopath who is willing to do anything to get what she wants," Elijah mumbled, not taking his eyes off the scenery. "Women know the power that they have... They use it like a weapon. They know how to wield it, to control it. To get them what they want."Sighing, Matt turned around and looked at him for a second, seeing the pain reflected in Elijah's brown eyes as he said this before looking back at the road ahead, mumbling, "Not all of them are like that.""I know. And I am hoping for Peach to just be Peach... I don't think I can handle her changing on me later because, to be honest, I am..." Elijah mumbled, pausing as he stared at a store and then blurted, "Make a stop over there.

    Even though the atmosphere of the Hayes mansion was calm, their expressions as the family sat around the table were anything but peaceful. Slowly, Madam Jewel set her glass down, then looked up from her plate at everyone else sitting with her.“Iris, honey… It's been a while since you have stopped by the mansion… I hope your father is not still mad at Josh.” Madam Jewel said calmly."Well," Iris mumbled, holding back her words.“If he is, we can try to explain it to him and make amends. But in all honesty, Josh really didn't know that Elijah was in a gang and had so many men to his name, you know? It wasn't like Josh knew what he did for a living… He didn't know he was a thug.""The thing is," A nervous look crossed Iris's face as she darted glances around the table and back to her grandmother-in-law, letting out, “My dad is still upset... I tried talking to him, but he wouldn't listen to anything that has Josh's name in it..."There was a brief pause as Iris remembered how distur

    With a scowl on her face, Melina turned around to look at Peach, and then she looked over at Matt, a few distances away from them, standing close to the wall, his back resting against the concrete, his arms crossed tightly over his chest."Who is he?" Melina asked her tone hard, making it evident that she wasn't letting this go easily.Knowing that the only reason she and Elijah were here was that that was what her mother wanted, Peach tried not to show anything on her face, trying her best to keep her emotions hidden."He's Elijah's friend," Peach answered after taking a deep breath and calming her raging mind."Elijah has a friend?" Melina scoffed in confusion, raising an eyebrow at Peach before glaring at Matt."What do you want, Melina?" "Elijah,"Silence fell over them, Peach holding her gaze straight ahead as Melina stared angrily at her, waiting for an answer, only finding it odd when Peach kept silent with an unreadable expression."I want Elijah back... After all, I was marr

    Gazing calmly at her reflection in the mirror, Peach just stared, trying to find words to describe what she was feeling as she smiled softly, whispering, "I'm getting married..." Many mixed emotions were running through her mind, and some of them seemed a little too loud for her to be silent, but she was happy, ecstatic even. For so long, it felt like this would be a day that would never come, marrying Elijah was something she never really thought would happen, but here she was, about to wed him. "Why am I so shaky?" She giggled out nervously, not knowing how to handle the rush of emotions flowing through her as her heartbeat raised. "Peach, honey," Miss Grace's sudden voice echoed from outside her bedroom door, causing her to flinch slightly. "Can I come in?" "Yes, mama," Peach called out, looking back at her door frame. A second later, Miss Grace came inside, closing the door behind her with a smile on her face, crying softly, "My baby." Since Albert died, it had just been h

    As her hair was getting done, and her face touched up with makeup, Peach kept telling herself to breathe, and knowing that Elijah was waiting on her at the altar made her less afraid."Mama, what time is it?" Peach asked, her eyes closed as the lady brushed a soft peachy color eyeshadow on her eyelids."Two o'clock," Miss Grace said with a smile, and yet, tears stained her face, feeling overwhelmed by her daughter becoming a bride before her eyes, and every stage of Peach growing up from an infant to a woman kept playing in her head."The wedding starts at three... do you think we will be late?" "No, honey. The drive to the ceremony is not that long."Pulling her hand away from Peach's face, the makeup artist smiled and said, "Well, the bride is ready to get dressed."Slowly, Peach opened her eyes to see her reflection staring back, and her lips pulled upward into a soft smile."You look beautiful, honey." Miss Grace whispered as Peach stood from the chair."Thanks… can you please h

    “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!

    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. Thank you.” Miss Grace cried at her son-in-law.Even though Elijah was trying to keep up the t
