The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 115-The media will not know about this

When Melina finally stopped crying, Elijah slowly withdrew her off him, his patience below breaking point, and yet he smiled at her softly, saying in a gentle tone almost like a whisper, “I am so sorry, Melina for being insensitive to you and feelings during the entire ordeal… So sorry… Okay?”

‘Boss, what the fuck?!‘ Larry blurted in his head, looking at the other men‘s faces to see that they too had this look in their expression that says dude–you–are–tripping–big time.

For a while, Melina said nothing and just stared at Elijah, like she was trying to find any signs or traces of lies in his words.

But when his eyes remained steady on her, and still holding her gaze, she felt overwhelmed with relief, she had never been so happy to see the man he once was before her, and she smiled as these words played in her head, ‘You are a Chameleon… You change for women like some fool.

Well, since Peach is taken care of, I will not mind being your comforter for the fun of it.‘ A shaky grin curved on her lips, and she placed her hand on his cheek as she whispered, “Thank you.”

“Let‘s go.

I will drive you back to my hotel."

Elijah said, a soft smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Like the woman he knew she was, Melina played right into his hand, beaming with excitement and happiness as she looked at him and replied, “Yeah.

Let‘s do that."

Looking over to the doctor, Melina smiled stiffly and gave him this look that told him whatever she had to say was a warning and not just words.

“I hope you can keep Elijah and me coming here a secret… After all, lawsuits are not a pretty thing and are very costly… You know that you have to keep all your patient records confidential… right?

So, Elijah and I… We were never here, for whatever reason, and that‘s that, okay doc?"

Melina said in a soft tone with the same stuff smile.

With his eyes on her, Elijah kept brushing his thumb over his wedding band and trying to suppress all of his emotions that were screaming at him from behind the cage he shut them in.

“Also, you didn‘t hear that I am going over to Elijah‘s hotel… got it?"

Melina said, feeling more confident now, knowing that Elijah was once again the Elijah she could use, bend, and manipulate to her will.

Nervous, the doctor darted his eyes towards Elijah, waiting for him to reply to whatever she said, but Elijah just raised his eyebrows, and the Doc sighed, looking back at Melina.
