All Chapters of The Marvelous Elijah's Return: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

At three o’clock on a warm Wednesday, one after another, flashy cars started driving into the yard of the Hayes’ and family members started arriving for the family meeting.And by four o’clock, a black Range Rover pickup rolled into the yard, and when it came to a stop, Josh and his wife, Iris stepped out, her holding onto his arm.“Do you know why grandma wants everyone here again,” Iris whispered as her husband led her towards the mansion. But he was too moody to care and answered her questions because Madam Jewel lashed out at him the day they got back from the motel, and his anger was still fresh, even though it was days ago.The sound of a car engine made Josh stop to see a Porsche 356 GTi, coming to a halt right next to the Land Rover.When the driver door opened, Melina stepped out, wearing a dress, which hugged her curves in a very revealing way, frowning at her brother because she was still mad at him. “Sister-in-law,” Iris cried as Melina approached the couple.The fact t

After an hour-plus drive, Elijah pulled into a small clearing. Getting out of his car, Elijah and Matt stared at the old warehouse in front of them, and how deserted this area was."Boss, it's not too late to get back into the car," Matt whispered, gesturing to the car behind them. "I don't think it's safe to walk to the warehouse..."Patting Matt on the back, Elijah smiled and teased, "Grow some backbone, man."'I have a backbone. I'm just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart.' Matt thought to himself, keeping quiet about his concerns. 'I don't want this to go South, boss.'Shaking his head lightly, Elijah pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and stopped at Jerome's number, dialing it without hesitation.The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, "Hey, boss.""I'm outside. Come out," Elijah ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.The line went

The last time Madam Jewel was here, things quickly escalated, and Peach didn't want to experience it again, and somewhat, she was thankful that Elijah wasn't here since she knew the hostility madam Jewel had toward him. "Sure, but my mom gets to come." Peach said, calmly staring between Madam Jewel and Dean. The thought of being alone with these two made her alert, and she didn't want to face them on her own, knowing their temperaments. "Of course. We came to talk to both you and Grace." Madam Jewel with a sweet smile that made Peach more uneasy. Suddenly, the front door of the motel opened, and Peach felt her heart leap into her throat as she watched Elijah and Matt, walking into the lobby. His gaze resting on Dean, Elijah's brows snapped as he blurted out of curiosity, "What's going on here?" A sense of raw animosity and anger filled Dean's features, keeping steady eye contact with Elijah as he let out, "It's none of your business. Get lost." "The question was not meant for y

The line was filled with Vlad breathing heavily and the sound of cars whizzing by, and then Dean finally heard "Boss, I got kidnapped and was just released on the side of the road with a bruised face, no shoes, and bloody clothes.." Snapping his brows in confusion, Dean looked at his mother, who had a serious expression on her face and was glaring at him as he let out, "What are you talking about?!" "Someone has people watching the motel... I don't know, boss... I don't know who it is... I don't know who the men were or how many they are because I was blindfolded, but they didn't like that I had been snooping around the motel!" Vlad explained, sounding frustrated. A sense of worry and anger welled in Dean as he tried to control the emotions rising inside of him, clenching his fists, he hissed, "What?!... What did you tell them then... huh? Did you tell them who asked you to spy on the motel?!" "No! Of course not, boss. I would never betray the Hayes family like that." Vlad pro

Sweat dripped down her forehead as Peach tossed aggressively and turned on her bed with her eyes closed, digging her hands into the sheet, as her grip tightened on the blankets. The sound of her father's angry cries haunted her dream as she struggled to wake up, but her eyelids felt heavy like lead in their sockets, tears rolling from the corners of her eyes, and onto her pillow. 'Dad,' The voice of her childhood self was faint, just a whisper, yet it still echoed throughout her mind.'Honey, let father grieve alone. Grandfather has been taking from us... so give him space.' Her mother's words were soft, and her body slowly relaxed on the bed. 'He's hurt... really sad like you and me, so let him be. For now.'"I will miss grandpa." Peach whispered in her sleep the exact words from the voice of her young self that crossed her mind and then her eyelids opened.Her vision was blurred for a moment, but she blinked slowly and saw her room bathed in sunlight. The sound of her breath cau
