The Marvelous Elijah's Return A man lives to die
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 Marvelous Elijah's Return A death wish
There was a long pause as Dice stared calmly at Elijah, his expression blank and emotionless, not breaking eye contact with him."You got some powerful people on your ass," Dice remarked, crossing his arms against his chest, waiting for Elijah's reaction. "Why?"Elijah didn't budge as he stared back at Dice, not saying a word, and he didn't give anything away, nor gave any hint to Dice as to what he was feeling by those words."The Hayes... the rat works for the Hayes family, mainly Dean Hayes." Dice paused again for another second, making sure his words were completely understood. Silently, Elijah eyed Matt, seeing the look of concern and worry etched on his features, and he then shifted his gaze over at Dice.A faint frown surfaced on Rick's lips as he looked at Larry and mumbled, "Didn't the news say that Melina's ex-husband is a worthless stay-at-home husband with nothing to his name except his desire to leech off her wealth, so how is this guy before us the same man on the news.
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Her plans would get ruined
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 Marvelous Elijah's Return Don't hate me
Eyeing her son, Madam Jewel gave him a cold stare and then said, "No, that's all... I hope that you will honor your word and show up because your grandfather at least deserves such reverence from you."The dull pain in Peach's cheek still pissed her off, but she ignored it as the memories of her grandfather flashed before her eyes, and her lips trembled as she tried to cage her emotions and said, "Sure. For my grandfather, I can tolerate coming."The sight of Madam Jewel and Dean, the longer they stood in her face made Peach feel incredibly uncomfortable, and she blinked back her tears, averted her gaze, and stared down at the invitation."If that is all, I would like to attend to my daughter's wound," Miss Grace said in annoyance, her eyes fixed upon Dean as she continued speaking quietly. "You guys can see yourself out."Unexpectedly, Madam Jewel walked over to Peach, taking her hands in her grips, startling her with the sudden contact that caused her to look at her in surprise.Mad
The Marvelous Elijah's Return He's escaping
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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return What did she say?
With messy morning hair, a yawning mouth, and sleepy eyes, Peach walked into the lobby in a large t-shirt and shorts, and then smiled, not caring that James and Matt were there.A month plus with these guys had made her so comfortable with their presence that she didn't care for her look or to act formally anymore with them."James, what is for breakfast," Peach asked softly, smiling as their eyes locked.A warm expression graced his face as he grinned at her and said, "Pancake, muffins, toast, bacon, eggs..."The Sound of the front door opening caused him to glance back and frown as Ryan let out, walking into the lobby. "Did someone say egg... I hope it's not burnt."A wide smile spread against Peach's face as her eyes widened and she shouted, "Ryan, Rookie!! You guys!!!" "Peach!" Ryan replied, grinning as he turned away from James and looked at her.As she was about to head over to hug them, Peach felt a presence behind her and immediately stopped in her tracks. Turning slightly
The Marvelous Elijah's Return A Key
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
The Marvelous Elijah's Return As ready as I will ever be
Shoving his hand into the sleeve of his coat, Elijah adjusted his gold embroidered black fit blazer over his broad chest, deep into his thoughts, his fingers traced down the edge of the button and pushed it through the hole. For a silent minute, he stared at his reflection, the three-piece black suit, shirt, and silk tie giving him an elegant aura, and mumbled, "Let's do this." The lobby has tense energy surrounding it as Matt waited for Elijah and Peach along with Rookie, Ryan, and James. "Keep an eye on him... Please." James finally broke the silence, eyeing Matt. Looking back at James with a humble nod, Matt replied, "Will do." Then silence took over as the sound of footsteps approached them, and everyone tensed immediately as Elijah walked into the lobby. For a moment, he stared at Matt's black dress shirt with gold lapel pin, and then the sound of a heel slowly hitting the tiles got his attention. When Elijah turned around, his gaze rested softly on Peach in a long, dark
