The Marvelous Elijah’s Return
Chapter 118
A greater priceA knock on Miss Grace's suite door made her tired eyes snap open and forced her topush the comforter off her, getting out of bed.
A moment later, when she got to the door and opened it, sheimmediately had this awful gut feeling that something was wrong, seeing Ryan, Rookie, and Matt standing there with Dice.
What's wrong, Matt?Miss Grace asked, hugging her arms around herself for comfort.“We will be gone for a while, but Dice here will be your guard until we get back,Matt said, forcing a smile, even though he, Ryan, and Rookie had been nothing but freakout since they found out that Peach got kidnapped.Okay...
But where are you guys going at such an hour?“Work stuff...”Confused by his reply, Miss Grace was speechless for a moment, and the guys turned to leave hurriedly before she came up with another question, but she suddenly blurted out, making them halt, “Is Elijah alright?Slowly, Ryan turned around with a smile, masking his sadness behind a grin that looked genuine.He is doing great,"
He replied with a nod, looking down for a moment, thinking about how miserable his boss is right now.
“Don't worry..As he was about to turn around, Miss Grace felt a dull ache in her chest as the thought crossed her mind, and she let it out, “Is my daughter okay?Yes.
Peach is fine and safe."
Ryan immediately said, knowing that if he hesitated for even a second, her motherly instinct would kick in.re you sure?“Yes! Elijah just needs us over because of Elmer's case..."
I know him getting Peach the company is a good thing...
but I fear for both their safety...
The Hayes are not very forgiving to those who cross them...Elijah knows that.
Don't worry...
Your daughter means a lot to all of us...
And for Elijah, she is extremely important to him...
Her safety is our number one priority.
We won't fail our promise.A weak smile appeared across Miss Grace's face before she quickly nodded, and yet, her motherly instinct had her heart feeling heavy still and she couldn't help but feel worried about her little girl.All the suite lights were turned off as Elijah sat in the living room, in the dark, hispalms covering his face.For a while, he didn't feel the effect of the minutes shifting into hours as he just sat there, not moving a muscle until a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, making him raise his head from his hands.It took a few seconds before Elijah got up and slowly walked toward the door, unlockingit.A look of concern crossed Matt, Ryan, and Rookie's faces as they stared at their boss, seeing the brokenness in his eyes.I fuck up badly,"
