The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 124 – One step closer to the truth The moment

Madam Jewel walked into the living room, her sons and grandsons were all waiting on herwith mad eyes

and scowls.

“Where did you go?” Dean asked first.

“We have been waiting for hours now.” “Also, why did you lie to Mr. Bamford, huh? It’s almost night time

and our wives, sisters, and aunts are not back home yet!” Josh lashed out, not even holding back his

anger.

“I want to respect you mother, but Evelyn might be in danger, and I think I can’t continue honoring your

decision to stay silent about this!” Mathew chimed in from the other side of the room.

A snarl left Tyson’s lips as he stood up from the couch and said, “I don’t know what we are still doing

here, instead of getting people out there to search‐” “Elijah has them!” Madam Jewel shouted, causing

silence to fall into the room.

None of them spoke after that.

Instead, they looked at her with questioning looks on their faces.

“You said Elijah has who?” Mathew finally questioned.

A sigh came out from Madam Jewel as she sat down in a chair and rubbed her temples.

“I kidnapped Peach with the help of Melina and Jacob…” She confessed, looking at the ground.

“…It was to pursue Elijah to free Elmer.” Frowning, Tommy let out a frustrated groan and yelled, “You are

still in touch with that lunatic?! Why would you do something that risky?! What if Elijah finds out the truth

about who Jacob is?! He will just be one step closer to the truth!” “And also, you got my daughter

involved in such a dangerous situation!” Dean yelled, glaring at his mother.

Ignoring his brother’s outburst, Eli spoke up and tried to keep his tone calm.“ How did Elijah get a hold of

every woman in our family?” That question brought silence to the room again.

Slowly, everyone turned to look at Madam Jewel, and when she felt their eyes on her, she calmly raised

her head and locked eyes with each of her sons and grandsons.

Then with her head hung low, she answered their questions in a soft voice, “I don’t know.

But I have returned Peach to him, and he promised to release everyone back to us…”

“He promised…” Josh laughed, rage and disbelief clearin his voice.

“He has crossed the damn line with this shit that he has done!” “Josh is right.

If he’s bold enough to kidnap our women and girls…

What next is he going to do?! I say…” Tommy lashed out, pausing when his mother gave him a cold

stare.

A murderous look was plastered onto her face when she spoke again, her voice ice cold, “We are going

to do nothing.

For now, we will hold our horses and let Peach and Elijah be.

When the time is right, we will put an end to this madness.

And if I have to risk it all to do so…” Silence filled the air once more.

No one wanted to break it.

After all, there was nothing they could say.

Not saying a word, Elijah sat opposite Peach in the kitchen, at the table, watching Peach devour a pizza

like some cute starving child.

“Are you sure that I should eat yours, hon?” Peach asked, licking the sauce off her fingers.

“Yes, darling.

I am positive.” Elijah assured her, smiling warmly at her.

But just like that, his face turned stone cold, and Peach’s smile disappeared.

She knew that look too well, and when he reached for her hand, she knew exactly why his eyes had

suddenly turned dead of emotion.

“Who took it?” Elijah growled in a low, menacing voice.

A nervous laugh escaped Peach’s lips before she whispered hesitantly, “Can you please not go after

Jacob…

Elijah, he has a gun, and a ring is not worth your life.”

When he didn’t answer her or look at her, she knew that he was already planning the same thing that she

begged him not to, and she couldn’t stop herself from pleading, “Please, I beg of you, Elijah…

How did it feel watching me get kidnapped, not knowing if I was going to be okay or not?”.

Seeing the emotions that suddenly clouded his face at her was all the answer she needed to know how

painful it must have been for him.

The look in his eyes was enough for her to understand, without having to hear him speak it out loud, that

he was devastated.

“That feeling you have right now is what you are going to put me through if you go after him.

Please…

Please don’t go after Jacob.” Tears threatened to come out of her eyes at that point, and her voice

quivered.

A smile broke out across Elijah’s face, and he gently cupped her cheek and wiped away a stray tear, yet

he held back his words, knowing he couldn’t tell her that all he wanted was to make Jacob pay for even

having the thought that he could get away with kidnapping his wife and walking free afterward.

“Elijah,” Peach started, pulling on his sleeve, “you know how much I worry about you.” Suddenly his

phone rang, and he and Peach both looked at his light screen, and as Elijah was about to reach for it,

she grabbed his wrist, causing him to pause and look at her.

With a smile, he grabbed her hand, pulled it off his wrist, and kissed her palm, giving her a soft stare

before picking up his phone and answering the call.

“Boss,” Scorpio’s voice sounded over the speaker, “We got word that Jacob and a couple of his men just

entered the Vogel club.”

“I see…

I will meet you soon.” Elijah said, noticing the frown on his wife’s lips.

The moment he ended the call, Peach’s eyes grew sadder than ever, and Elijah’s heart clenched at

seeing her hurt.

But he stood up, putting his phone in his pocket, and said, “Let’s go.

I am taking you to your mother.” “Where are you going?” Peach asked, crossing her arms over her chest

with this stubborn look on her face.

“To take care of business.” “Elijah,” “Let’s go,” One look at her husband and Peach knew he wouldn’t

budge, so instead, she stood up, meeting his eyes with a glare, but quietly followed after him when Elijah

started walking off.

The sky was slowly losing its brightness as Rick drove them in silence.

Peach had her entire body turned toward the car door with her eyes on the windshield, not wanting to

look at Elijah, even though her heart was aching to do so.

Darting his gaze away from her with a sigh, Elijah dialed Matt’s number, and it took two rings then he

heard, “Hello, boss.”

“Where are you guys?” Elijah asked.

“Finishing up at the company.

Why?”.

“Peach is with me, and I am heading over to my mother‐in‐law, and you guys can just come over there

when you get done.” The line went quiet for a while and then Elijah heard Matt shout, “Rookie, Ryan,

boss got Peach!” Hearing his men’s excited voices on the other side of the line left Elijah chuckling softly,

and then he heard Matt say, “We are on our way back right now.” All night to the morning and even now,

Miss Grace couldn’t help the uneasy feeling in her gut, and the fact that Dice had been dodging every

conversation with her had the uneasiness that she felt growing bigger with each passing second.

The quietness in her room didn’t help her, causing her mind to run wild, and yet, she stayed laying in

bed, spending minutes wondering if her daughter was safe.

After checking her phone for what seemed to be the thirtieth time today, Miss Grace finally got up from

the bed when she heard a knock.

Dragging her feet, she headed out of the bedroom to get open the door, and when she did, she saw

Elijah and Peach standing in the hallway, and immediately tears started streaming down her cheeks.

“I am sorry.” Elijah apologized instantly, bowing his head slightly.

A frown crossed her face as Miss Grace gently beat the both of them on their arms, crying, “Why were

you two ignoring my calls,” “Mama,” Peach said, looking into her mother’s eyes.

“I am sorry.” The anger in her eyes glowed for a moment but seeing that both of them were fine and

healthy made Miss Grace’s shoulders sag and her expression softened a bit.

Not lifting his head, Elijah allow his emotion to show in his voice as he said, “ Please forgive”

“Us,” Peach immediately interrupted him as she slightly bowed too, making Elijah eye her with a small

smile.

“Why are you two behaving so seriously…

you are making me feel bad now.” Miss Grace laughed nervously, drying her face.

“It’s fine.

You two are okay and that’s all that matters…

Now, stop bowing and come in.” Raising his head, Elijah stared at his wife, and Peach’s immediately

heart dropped, guessing what he was about to say, and she held her breath.

“I can’t.

I got business to attend.” Elijah said, and she immediately darted her gaze away from him, fidgeting with

her dress.

A look of confusion filled her eyes as Miss Grace stared at him and then asked, “ At such an hour?”

“Yes.” Elijah calmly responded.

“…Please excuse me.” When he turned to leave, he looked at his wife, and when she refused to look at

him, Elijah reached his hand for hers, squeezing it gently as he said, “I love you, Peach.”

With that, he walked away leaving that last statement hanging heavy in the air, and Peach turned her

head to look after him, staring until his back faded down the hallway.
