Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Marvelous Elijah's Return: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The sound of the tick and tock from the clock had Elijah's feet bouncing on the tiles of the dining room floors as he stared at his watch, a sense of nervousness creeping into his chest. It was Ten-thirty, and he had been staring at this same watch for hours now, still no sign of his wife.Even though it was like her to come home late, He didn't expect her to do so on their birthday since she knew how important today was to him.Looking away from his watch, Elijah sighed and glanced up, the clock showing Eleven pm. Then his gaze directed to the phone, lying on the table, in front of him."Will she not pick up again?" Elijah asked out loud, his voice low and soft.There was a brief pause before he reached for the phone, his fingers fumbling with it as he tried to dial Melina's number."The number you have called is currently unavailable..." A robotic female voice said on the other side of the line, causing Elijah to drop his head backward on the chair, a frown plastered on his face.

Lying in bed, Elijah sighed heavily while running his fingers through his thick hair. His mood had drastically changed ever since his fight with Melina. He could feel the pain that throbbed inside him, and he hated it. To learn that his wife was into another man was devastating to Elijah, and no matter how hard he thought about their fight, he just didn't want to accept the fact that she was cheating on him."Damnit!!" Elijah groaned in frustration.Tired, he buried his face into his pillow, his fists tightly clenched while his mind replayed their conversation, wishing that he had told her about his identity earlier.Maybe that would have made Melina happy.If she knew who he truly was then she would still be loving him.But that didn't change the fact that it was painful and humiliating to be rejected by the woman he loved. And to know she had chosen another man because of his wealth.When Elijah first arrived in the country, as a foreigner, he was still new to everything, and one n

"Good evening passengers. The flight from Syldavia to Bordoria is currently in the final stages of preparation for landing." The announcement boomed throughout the cabin. Closing his eyes, Elijah sighed and leaned back into the seat behind him as he nervously toyed with his wedding ring while it sunk in that he was now divorced and was finally meeting his parents after years of being away. There were a lot of emotions to process between getting betrayed by Melina and returning home. It was all too much to even try to figure out just how he was going to handle all of it. After the plane finally landed, the passengers got up to leave, and since Elijah had no baggage, he left first class and entered the terminal. With a cap on his head, Elijah kept his head down and his hands inside his trouser pocket, trying not to draw any attention to himself. The moment Elijah stepped out of the building, it took only a couple of seconds for him to hear, "Master Maxwell!" Stopping in his step

The sunlight streamed into the room through the window as Elijah sat up in his bed and turned around to see who entered his room.As the morning rays fell onto his face, his eyes met with Butler James standing on the other side of the room."Good morning, master." Butler James said politely as he closed the door behind him quietly.Pushing the cover off him, Elijah slid out of bed, running his fingers through his hair as he asked, "What brings you here, Butler James?""Master, your mother wants me to inform you that breakfast is ready downstairs." Butler James informed."Okay, thanks. Just let her know that I'll meet her soon," Elijah replied, rubbing the sleepiness out of his face as he headed toward the bathroom, closing the door behind him.After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he took a comforting shower, trying to relax as he did so. Then he stepped out afterward, wrapped a towel around himself, and walked over to his closet, grabbing a simple Sweatshirt and a pair

The security quickly took out their weapons and darted them towards Elijah, Matt, Rookie, James, and Ryan, shouting angrily, "Get in your trash, now!""We just want to book a suite and get some rest," Elijah said, raising both of his hands and smiling weakly. "I have money to pay for this place." A lousy laugh came from the security as he shook his head, he was a robust, balding guy with rough skin. "Oh sure, I bet you can afford to buy a whole hotel, right? You're probably loaded or something." He mocked, shaking his head again, his eyes scanning Elijah from top to bottom. "Wait, I know you! Hey, Mark, doesn't this guy look familiar?!"The only thought that came to Elijah's mind was that they knew him because he was Melina's ex-husband, the CEO of Investverse company, and he just knew this was going to get pretty ugly, pretty fast."Yeah!! Yes!! He's that loser that Miss Hayes dumped yesterday!!" The other security guy shouted, laughing hysterically. "His face was on all the news
