The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Call me A forced smile tugged on Madam Jewel's lip as she gazed at Elijah, but hewas too focused on the photos that Scorpio was sending him.

“Elijah,” Madam Jewel called out, watching her tone.

Playing deaf to her, Elijah kept his gaze on his screen, and that had her frowningslightly.

Elijah, how is Peach?” Madam Jewel asked once again, trying for a more friendly tone as she tried to figureout what was going on.

Immediately, Elijah's grip tightened on his phone, his gaze froze for a while before he sighed and turned off his screen, shoving the device back into his pocketbefore glaring up at her, annoyed at her hypocrisy.

You should know how she is doing,” Elijah calmly uttered as he stood from the couch.

A nervous look passed over Madam Jewel's face, but before she could speak out, Mr.

Bamford cut in, “Is Mrs Darius at the company?”.

No, Elijah answered a bit stiffly, meeting Madam Jewel's eyes with a dark stare.

“She’s at home…

feeling a bit under the weather.” Taking his gaze away from the old woman’s worried eyes, Elijah gave the chief constable a small smile and said, “I shouldget back to her.” 'He is actually playing Jacob's game! But...

something is not adding up,' Madam Jewel thought, her eyebrows furrowing as she watched the smile on Elijah’s face, and something about him grinningwhile knowing that his wife was in captivity made chills run down her spine.

With one last smile directed towards the old man, Elijah turned on his heels and walked over to Madam Jewel, stoppingright by her, causing her sons and grandson to tense up, and ready to attack Elijah.

“How are your daughters,granddaughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law doing?” Elijah whispered, his tone low and dark, hisvoice laced with poison, causing a sense of fear to settle deep inside Madam Jewel.

Her eyes froze open, and then she turned her head to look at him, a look of terror etched acrossher features.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere became so thick that even Madam Jewel couldn’t breathe, it was like someone had pressed the pause button onthe television, leaving them both silent.
