The Marvelous Elijah's Return Whatever that was
The room was quiet for a while, and Elijah studied Bryan's eyes, wondering if he was someone he wanted to risk the act of "mess around and find out" with at such a crucial moment in his life"Understandable, and I respect your decision... But if I am not involved in some deep shit?" Bryan asked, arching a brow challengingly.Peeking at Matt again, Elijah hesitated, but when Matt twitched his brows slightly, he faced Bryan and said, "Then you got yourself a deal." "Well, I can drink to that," Bryan said with a small smile as he picked up Elijah's glass and reached it out to him. But Matt tried to grab the glass and accidentally spilled it all over Elijah's coat, and when he noticed that, he exclaimed, "Oh, fuck! Sorry, sir!""It's fine," Elijah said, reaching over for a napkin, and patting down his shirt and pants."I am sorry. I should have known better than to serve you a glass of wine that has been pulled without your presence." Bryan apologized quickly, feeling glad that it was a

The sound of hums echoed from the kitchen as James bobbed his head to the beat of the music in his mind while frying the eggs."James, I feel healthy enough now to cook for you guys. You shouldn't be in the kitchen." Miss Grace said as she walked toward him with a smile on her face."I know... Being a butler is not my only job, I was a chef..." James blurted out, pausing as he turned to look at her."You are a butler? Who's Butler...? Why are you here if you are supposed to be working as someone's butler?" "Because...! Well... Because I got fired. You see when you love a job and it gets taken away from you... well, you never really recover from it." With a look of pity on her face, Miss Grace smiled weakly and mumbled, "You poor fellow. Now, I understand your love for my kitchen." Laughing nervously, James studied her kind eyes, rubbed his neck, and mumbled, "Well, thank you for understanding."There was a long pause as they stared at each other, and then Miss Grace sniffed the ai
The Marvelous Elijah's Return I never cheated on you
A frown crossed Miss Grace's face when she snapped out of her shocked state and mumbled stiffly, " Melina... What are you doing here?"Of course, she wasn't excited about seeing her since the incident at the hospital, and of course, even though her father is second to Peach's dad, Melina hardly has a sense of respect for her or her daughter."Can I come in?!" Melina asked impatiently, seeing that Miss Grace was blocking her way.Although she wasn't someone who liked confrontation, she knew if Peach knew Melina is here, it would stress her daughter up, and the fact that she was sick, the last thing Miss Grace wanted was to see her daughter upset or her headache worsen."I am sorry... but whatever you have to say, tell it to my face, right out here." Miss Grace uttered firmly, trying to sound as intimidating as possible because she didn't want Melina arguing with her about this.But just like the brat that she was, a faint laugh escaped from Melina's lips, making Miss Grace's eyes narro
The Marvelous Elijah's Return His parents are dead
The Subaru Forester sped through the huge open gate, and drove through the yard, into the garage, and then Melina hit the brake pedal hard.Her little interaction with Elijah had her in all her feelings, and her mood was a mess as she pushed the car door open and stepped out onto the concrete of the front walk. In front of her was a two-stories, enormous fancy mansion with glass panes and a white wraparound porch. Palm trees were lining the driveway and an immaculate flower bed along the side.The frown she had on didn't leave her face even after she got to the front door of the mansion and hit the doorbell.As she was about to ring it for the second time, someone opened the door, and she was met by a tall man in his late sixties with graying hair that wore a light black three-piece suit with a tie that matched his neatly brushed hair perfectly."Miss Melina, how lovely for you to visit... Good morning." The butler spoke quietly, a smile plastered on his face. With a sour expressio
The Marvelous Elijah's Return There's a serious problem
A gentle knock on the door made Mr. Bamford look up from the case file on his desk and stared ahead, calling out, "Come in." When the door opened, his secretary Lucy entered his office with a soft smile, saying, "Sir, there's a visitor for you." "Who?" Mr. Bamford replied without looking up from the case file, still reading through the information about the crime he was currently investigating."Madam Jewel Haye," "Hmm," The pen in his hand dropped on the sheet as he lifted his head slightly to glance at his secretary with an eyebrow raised. Then he rested back in his seat and sighed softly, "Send her in," "Yes, sir," Lucy said with a nod.Silently, Mr. Bamford watched her walk out of his office and waited until she closed his door before turning his attention back to the papers on his desk.A couple of minutes went by, then the door opened again, this time to reveal Mrs. Haye. She had her hands tucked into the front pockets of her black fluffy coat as she stepped inside befor
The Marvelous Elijah's Return What did you just say
The sound of her room door opening made Peach raise her head off the pillow and gazed at her mother, standing in the doorway, smiling at her."Can I come in?" Miss Grace asked cheerfully, closing the door behind her and stepping inside the room.Slowly, Peach sat up from the bed, hugging her knees as she rested her head on her kneecaps, feeling a sense of sadness welling up within her as she watched her mother approach her with a warm smile and sit down beside her on the edge of the mattress."James made chicken soup for dinner with rice and vegetables." Miss Grace told her kindly.Shaking her head slowly, Peach said with a sad smile, "I'm too full already, Mama. You should go ahead and eat without me.""Peach, you have been in here all day and have barely put much in your stomach. That's not healthy!" Miss Grace chided her, gently squeezing Peach's hands.One look at her mother and Peach could see her concern clearly written across her wrinkled brows and pursed lips. The sight mad
The Marvelous Elijah's Return With someone powerful
The dining hall was eerily quiet as everybody slowly digested what Madam Jewel had revealed. “A man like Bryan Checks is getting involved with our family?” Mathew, second to Dean, questioned, frowning slightly. “Why? How can a man like that possibly be interested in helping Peach and Grace though?!” Eli exclaimed angrily, clenching and unclenching his fists, feeling angered and confused. Looking at Madam Jewel, Cora frowned slightly at the stress she saw in her mother's eyes and mumbled, “He is someone that never just gets involved with people without ulterior motives, Eli! He loves money and power... nothing else matters to him-” “Money, power, and women,” Amelia said, meeting her sister's eyes. “What?” “We are all missing the bigger picture here. Peach is a woman. Bryan is a man. Men usually get protective over the one they are interested in and would do whatever it takes to keep them protected no matter what, right mom?” t's like a light bulb switched on in Madam Jewel's mi
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Five thousand
A look of fear sparked in Martha's eyes as she helped Dean tie his tie around his neck, and when she got done, she whispered, "Honey, our daughter has suffered a lot.” "What is that supposed to mean?!" Dean said, sounding quite annoyed at the sudden turn in the conversation. Lowering her voice, even more, Martha continued, "Grace hit our daughter when she went to the motel yesterday. Melinda was quite devastated when she came to see me yesterday."At his wife's words, Dean's brows knitted together into a tight frown as he uttered coldly, "Is that so!?""I know Melina did wrong by marrying that man, but Grace doesn't have the right to discipline our daughter when you, her own father, have never raised a hand against her." Martha said, looking up at him with watery eyes as she cried, "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" "I know what you are saying... Grace should worry about training her daughter and not mine. But since she has crossed the line, then I wouldn't have to hold ba
