what are you planning now

As the lights from the cameras went off and on, Matt, Rayn, Rookie, Dice, Jerome, Larry, Rick, and a couple of Elijah's men kept Peach in the middle of them as they made their way out of the hospital parking lot.“Please get out of the way! We are not taking any questions!” Dice announced firmly as the reporter struggled to get a glance at Peach's face.“Mrs. Darius!! What's your intake on the news that your husband forced himself on Jessica Astor last night, at Senator Butcher's party?!” A news lady screamed from the back.Eyes blurry with tears, Peach halted, her fists tightened at such words about Elijah, which Dice and the others had already filled her in on what happened last night.“Mrs. Darius, is it true that your husband bribed the police to side with him on this matter, and that's the only reason Mr. Butchen and his men got arrested last night?” Another journalist asked, pushing up to the front of the pack.“Members of Congress, like other citizens, are subject to investig

She's coming for him

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

“Beep... Beep... Beep...” That sound made Peach grip tighten on the knob after she had pushed the door open and saw Elijah lying in the hospital bed, wearing a blue gown. “They're going to wake him up, right?” Peach whispered, unable to move from where she stood, swallowing down her fear. “Yes. Mr. Darius was in so much pain last night, that’s why we had to put him to sleep, but he will awake. It’s just a twenty-four-hour thing. He is just sleeping.” Dr. Wilson's voice startled her, making Peach jump back a little before she turned around to see the doctor holding a clipboard. A gentle smile graced his lips as he laughed softly, “Sorry for scaring you, by showing up from out of nowhere.” “It’s fine.” Peach said, almost in a whisper, giving the doctor a weak smile as she slowly brushed her palm against her arm. There was a brief pause as Dr. Wilson stared at her puffy wet eyes, darting left and right. Then he softly sighed, widening his smile to comfort her, and then asked “

Elijah Maxwell

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

The hospital was so quiet at midnight as Cora walked down the hallway, and the closer she got to Elijah’s room, she could hear her heart pounding loudly in her ears, seeing all the men standing in line, guarding the room. ‘Mother didn’t tell me that this place was going to be swamped with his bodyguards… I feel like I am about to assassinate a president or something.’ Cora mumbled in her head, adjusting the mask on her face to make sure no one recognized her.When she got to the door, she hesitated, wondering if any of them were going to stop her. But when no one said a word, she pushed the door open, walking calmly into the room, suppressing the nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.After she shut the door behind her, she turned to see Elijah lying on his back, his face away from her, directed at the right wall, and the pillows that his head wasn’t resting on, blocking his face from her view. Knowing time was not on her side, she walked over to the bedside, focusing only on hi

Divorce

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

A faint laugh left Peach’s lips, her shaky eyes on Elijah, wondering if he was kidding or not, and yet the seriousness in his gaze told her what she feared. There was so much emotion flooding her that Peach had no idea how to deal with it all. She did know one thing though, the feelings were too strong for her to be able to hold them in and pretend like everything was fine. “I have this thing with my dad that requires me to keep my identity a secret and...” Elijah trailed off, seeing the hurt in her eyes as she darted her gaze away from him, her shaky hand nervously exploring the skin of her face. “Peach... I couldn't tell anybody... I...” “It’s just a name, but why does it hurt so much to know that you lie about it, Elijah?” Peach whispered looking up at her husband once more. “How can just a name leave me with so much doubt about you, about us?” Seeing her body shudder, Elijah reached for Peach's hand, but she pulled back, awaking from the bed, and his heart ached as he let out

I want Elijah and Peach dead

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

The sound of the doorbell echoing through the house made everyone tense up, especially Peach because by now, they all knew that Elijah's father was visiting.“Mama,” Peach whispered as Miss Grace reached for the doorknob, grabbing onto her mother's arm.“Breathe, honey.” Miss Grace mumbled, twisting the doorknob, and then she pulled it open.Standing on the porch was a pure white-haired man with a casual dress shirt and jeans, and yet, he had this aura of importance, and his presence was commanding as he stared from beneath his glasses a smile tugging on the corners of his lips.Looking over at Peach, his smile widened, and he said cheerfully, “Let me guess, you are Peach?”With a nod, she gave a nervous grin, saying, “Yes, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Maxwell.”His smile faded, and Peach remembered what Elijah said about his dad and him having this thing about his identity, and a sense of worry shot through her.“Ah... I feel guilty that it's my fault my daughter-in-law is

I am not going to run

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

When the sound of her room door cracking open echoed in her ear, Miss Grace jumped from her sleep and looked over at her daughter, standing in the doorway. “Peach, honey... It's five am... What's the matter?” Miss Grace asked, sitting up in bed, her voice still raspy with sleep. Pouting, Peach shut the door, walked over to her mother, and climbed into her bed, hugging her. “I am nervous, mama... Not even the internet knows how much he's worth... It was easier when he was just an ordinary man, but now...” Peach trailed off as she held onto her mom. Smiling softly, Grace stroked her daughter's hair, and after a while, she whispered, “Honey, why did you fall in love with Elijah?” “The first time I met him, he was grumpy, but his eyes told me a different story... I could tell he was hurt... Maybe there was something about his wounded soul that made me curious, and then he slowly unraveled his personality...” Peach whispered. Then she raised her head to stare at her mother, mumbli

dangerous sacrifices

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

“Are you sure that you want to go?” Elijah mumbled, watching Peach as she left the bed.Looking back at her husband, Peach smiled softly. “I am just going to pop in and out of the company. I have been feeling a bit restless, and I want to check how things are going there.”Even though Elijah knew that they had capable employees, he could see that Peach was stressed, and he sighed, saying, “Okay.”“Thanks, babe. I will be home before you know it.” Peach replied, kissing him gently on the cheek before leaving for the bathroom.After the door shut behind her, Elijah climbed out of bed and walked over to the window, opening it slightly to look outside. When the sound of their bedroom door opened after three knocks, Elijah turned his gaze away from the window to meet Rookie’s eyes, and his man let out, “Should you be standing up with those wounds?”“The pain is not the same as one week ago,” Elijah said, taking careful steps away from the window. His feet felt heavy on the tiled floor

He was watching us

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

Like wildfire, the news about Elijah purchasing Reinvest Co. spread all through the country within just one week of him buying it from Mr. Astor, and as he and Peach sat in the car, he could hear the noise from the reporters outside, their screams and the flashes from the light.Because his ribs were not completely healed yet at that time, Matt, Ryan, and the others had been the ones running things discreetly at the company.But it had been two weeks since the incident, and Elijah was barely in pain anymore, and he could walk just fine and only experience slightly discomfort because his ribs still were not fully recovered.Looking away from the window, Peach rested her gaze on her husband, afraid because he had not gotten “clear” from the doctor yet, and secondly, this was the first time they were going to get seen together with him being a Maxwell.“The reporters can be very pushy. Are you sure your body is about to take such a big strain?” Peach whispered, looking into his eyes fo

Dead or maybe not...

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

The feeling of a soft kiss on her bare back made Peach’s lips pull into a smile, and she rolled over to face Elijah, her eyes beaming."Hey, sleepyhead." She grinned as she raffled her fingers through his messy hair, giggling when he groaned and nuzzled closer to her side. Her other hand traced shapes across his chest, and she could feel him shiver at her touch.“Our flights leave in the next three hours… Don’t make us book another ticket.” Elijah whispered huskily, and she laughed again, turning so she was laying on top of him. Her hands moved down to rest on his hips, and she leaned forward, placing small kisses along his collarbones. Then she stopped to take his lower lip between her teeth, smiling against it.“Peach,” Miss Grace's voice drifted through the open door, and Peach froze, looking at the doorway.“Elijah,” Immediately Peach tried to jump off Elijah when she heard his father's voice, but he grabbed her waist, pressing her down against his bare chest.“What are you doing

The real enemies

The Marvelous Elijah's Return/Rever

Frowning slightly, Elijah knew that the voice belonged to Lawyer Meeks, and yet he was skeptical of the fact that he was alive. A part of him still could not believe it, but the rest of his logical mind seemed to think differently. “How did you survive the fall?” Elijah asked.After dealing with the Hayeses for so long, Elijah knew how tricky and treacherous the family can get to achieve their goals.“I black out during the fall and the next thing I knew, I opened my eyes in a tiny room with this old lady and her daughter, and they had been helping me since then... I can not walk, Elijah. The impact of my body hitting the water with such force injured my spine. I need to get out of the country to seek treatment... If I keep hiding with no proper medical care care, I will die, for real.” Mr. Meeks spoke slowly and he sounded very weak. “What happened that day… the evening the accident took place?” “I want to see your face first… I want to explain things to you in person because I d
