The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

I want to do you right

As Mall drove the car in silence, he looked back at Elijah, staring out the opened passenger window, and then he mumbled, “I know you don’t talk a lot about your marriage to Melina, but I think Peach is really in love with you…”

“You will think those words twice after being with a manipulative, twisted psychopath who is willing to do anytlıing to get what she wants,” Elijah mumbled, not taking his eyes off the scenery. “Women know the power that they have… They use it like a weapon. They know how to wield it, to control it. To get them what they want.”

Sighing, Matt tumed around and looked at him for a second, seeing the pain reflected in Elijah’s brown eyes as he said this before looking back at the road ahead, mumbling, “Not all of them are like that.”

“I know. And I am hoping for Peach to just be Peach… I don’t think I can handle her changing on me later because, to be honest, I am…” Elijah mumbled, pausing as he stared at a store and then blurted, “Make a stop over there.”

A couple of minutes later, he and Matt walked through the door of a jewelry store, and the inside looked highly polished with huge marble floors and glass ceilings.

When they reached the counter, Elijah looked over at a sales clerk and said, “Hey, I am looking for an engagement ring.”

A smile made its way onto the clerk’s face as she said, “We’ve got a great selection right here. The ones at the top price are twenty thousand dollars, the middle is fifty thousand dollars, the lowest is fifteen thousand dollars… What would you like?”

“Do you have anything lower than that?” Elijah asked, still looking at the clerk. “A bit cheaper?”

The smile on her face quickly faded to hear him ask for a lower price because she judged him by his good look and thought he was someone who had money.

Suddenly, another guy walked over to the counter, dressed in a fancy velvet black two-piece suit, and she immediately turned her focus on him.

“Good afternoon, sir! How can I help you?!” She called as she tried hard not to stare at Elijah.

“I want to buy an Emerald ring. Do you have one here that is decent for my fiancé?” He uttered, smiling slightly.

“Excuse me… umm, we were here first. At least give us a few options to look at before you pay attention to another customer.” Matt interrupted and he glared at the clerk.

Frowning silently, she scowled over at him and let out, “I did. And it’s not my fault that you two don’t have the means to purchase what I have shown you!”

another clerk looked over at Elijah and Matt with
