The Marvelous Elijah's Return

At twelve on the dot, Mrs. Maxwell walked into the room, seeing both Peach and Miss Grace staring

back at her, and she gave them a quick smile.

“How are you feeling now, dear?” Lisa asked with a worried voice.

“Much better, thanks.” Peach whispered, watching her mother–in –law approaching her.

Then she walked over to the table and set the bag down, saying, “I brought you some fresh fruits.”

As she took out the transparent bowls, Peach looked at the door and then back at her mother–in–law,

asking, “How is Elijah doing?”

Pausing, Mrs. Maxwell sighed, set the bowl down, and then said,” He took an early flight to Syldavia a

moment ago that‘s why he couldn‘t come with me.”

When Mrs. Maxwell saw Peach fidgeting with the sheet, she met her gaze and said, “He promised to be

back soon, and I am sure you will be the first person he‘s going to visit when he gets back.”

Grabbing the whiskey bottle, Dean poured himself another shot and downed it in one go. Then he

poured another shot, swallowing it down.

The whispering from the four guys behind him got his attention and his grip tightened on the bottle.

“Is that Dean Hayes... The once famous and wealthy chairman of one of the numerous companies Mr.

Hayes has?”

“I once heard on the news from that Elijah guy that Jewel‘s children do not belong to her late husband,

so he can not be a Hayes...”

“I heard that his mother is in prison for killing her late husband,

and all his siblings are also behind bars for the shady shit that they did.”

“Their family sounds cursed, honestly.”

When Dean suddenly stood up, the four men immediately stopped talking, and he turned toward them

and snorted, staring hard at them.

Drowning in his drunkenness, Dean suddenly unzipped his pants and before the four men could get out

of the way, he started pissing on them which made the bartender scream, “Hey, you!! Piss out of here!”

“Shut The Fuck Up!” Dane said, zipping his pants.

And then he turned to leave, but the four men had surrounded him, and the first guy said, “Hey,

cockhead, do you think you are still a rich shit? Take a look around you, huh!! You are drinking some

shitty whiskey in a half–star bar at ten o‘clock, pissing on yourself and us, and you dare to put up an

attitude!”

A wild laugh left Dean‘s lips, like a madman, he kept laughing until he fell backward onto the bar counter

and screamed, “Screw you, Elijah!

“Damn, beating up this lunatic is just going to be pathetic. Let‘s just leave him in his stupor...” one said of

the guys I disgust.

When Dane turned round, resting his palms flat on the counter, he looked up and scowled at Thomas‘s

face on the TV as he said,” This is a message for Dane and Martha... Your daughter Melina is at

Bluecest hospital. You two should go over there to take care of her business.”

Clutching his fist, Dean reached into his pocket for his buzzing phone and then answered the call,

saying, “Martha,” “Did you watch the news!” His Ex–wife‘s voice echoed in his ear.” I am on my way

there. You should meet me there.”

Stressing about how Peach was doing, Elijah stared at his inbox, and he wrote a couple of words before

deleting it, not knowing what to say or if he should say something... his mind was simply a mess at that

moment.

Suddenly, Martha rushed into the waiting room to see Elijah, and the moment they locked eyes, he stood

up as she hurried towards him.

“What did you do to my daughter, you bastard?!” Martha shouted, collaring him with his coat and then

shaking him hard as she cried.

Immediately, Elijah grabbed her wrist, pulling one hand off him before yanking the other, and then he

took a step back, commanding coldly, “Keep your hands to yourself.”

His words knocked a bit of sense into Martha and she dropped her hands, asking, “What happened to

Melina? Why are you here, at the hospital that the reporter on the news said she‘s at!”

Before Elijah could move his lips to speak, Dean bashed into the waiting room, drunk and smelling of

pee, and then he stormed for Elijah, swinging a punch. But Elijah stepped aside, grabbed his fist, and

shoved him against the wall. Holding him there, Elijah said firmly, “If you weren‘t this wasted, I would

have beat the shit out of you for what your daughter did to my wife!” “What happened to Melina?!” Martha

cried in frustration.

Looking over at her, Elijah frowned and said, “Your daughter is a bitch. She tried to kill Peach and my

unborn child. But Karma is a bigger bitch than her, and now she‘s paralyzed from the neck down to her

feet.”

Both Dean and Martha gasped in shock. Martha covered her mouth and stared back at Elijah as she

tried to wrap her brain around what he had said.

“I am returning her to you two because I will not be responsible for the hospital bill of a woman that tried

to unalive my unborn child and wife,” Elijah added, letting go of Dean‘s arm and taking steps away from

him. “She is you two problem now.” “What...?” Martha whispered, completely taken aback by his words.

Immediately Dane struck with his fist, but Elijah quickly knocked his hand out of the air before shoving

his punch deep into Dane‘s stomach, making him cough and wheeze, his arms flailing.

Turning to Martha, Elijah raised his head and looked straight at her. And then he spoke sternly and

angrily, almost shaking, “I have done the most human thing I could do for a murderer. Now she yours to

take care of.”

As Elijah walked off, Martha clutched her blouse and then shouted, “How do you expect us to take care

of our daughter when you have taken everything from us, you bastard!” “Go look in the mirror, stare hard

at your reflection, and then ask yourself, ‘Whose fault is it that I am in this condition?” Elijah said.

With those words, he walked out of the waiting room, and immediately, Matt and the others joined him by

his side as they matched down the hall.

“Are you booking a suite for the night?” Larry asked.

“No. I am going back home to my wife.” Elijah responded.

When the study door opened, a short guy with a nervous look walked into the room, not daring to raise

his gaze to lock eyes with

the one seated behind the desk.

“Senator Landon, it‘s been confirmed that Bryan is the one who‘s your opponent for this upcoming

election for district two.” The fellow said, listening to his heartbeat pounding in his ear.

Suddenly Senator Landon slammed the table, the sound making his assistant flinch a little.

“That brat?! Does he think that I will not keep my promise to his mother!!” Senator Landon yelled. “If that

piece of shit has the chance to push me out of this position that I have sacrificed everything!!! Everything

for... No! No. I can‘t allow him to pull this bullshit and succeed!”

Suddenly, Senator Landon stood from his seat, pacing back and forth, rubbing his chin, and mumbling to

himself, and then he said, “Get Deacon in here!” “Yes, sir!” His assistant replied, rushing out of the study

before shutting the door after him.

A few minutes later, a tall man, built like a tank and with the thickest brows anyone had ever seen strode

into the room and nodded to Landon, saying, “Boss, you send for me?” “Yes!” Senator Landon stated.

“There‘s something I need you to do, Deacon! We are gonna win this election! But to do that I need to

get rid of a pest. Now… Your job is to follow Bryan Check everywhere he goes and report back to me,

what he does, who he speaks with, what he says... just everything, understand!” “Yes, boss!!” Deacon

answered, and then he left the office without glancing back once.

‘I need to take him out, by any means necessary.‘ Landon thought.
