The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Men in Black The sound of the door opening drew Peach’s attention, and she held her breath as she stared at Jacob entering the room, and immediately, she noticedthe blood on his knuckles, causing her heart to clench in worry.

Get up, and don't say a word, or else I will hurt you, and your husband has my hand tied from doing that, so don’t darepush my buttons, Jacob growled, and with a sigh.

Even though she was hesitant, Peach slowly stood from her seat and sealed her lips, although she wanted to ask for her ring.

Walk, Jacob commanded, and he grabbed her wrist tightly, making her gasp slightly as he ledher out of the room.

All his men had this disappointed look on their faces as he led her down the corridor, and Peach dared not look at any of them asshe obediently followed him.

When they reached a black ford pickup, he opened the front door, enraged at his cord and hating every moment of the shift in the game and obeying Elijah.

“Get in, Jacob uttered, finally letting go of her wrist.

Pouting, she looked down at her skin and the redness where she had been gripped, before turning to face himonce more.

“Get in,” Jacob repeated firmly, glaring at her.

With a huff, Peach stepped into the truck, and he slammed the door shut before walking around to the driver’s side and getting in.

They drove in silence for a while, and then Jacob eyed Peach, noticing that he had grabbedher way too hard and her skin was slightly bruised.

What the fuck?!” Jacob roared angrily, looking at her furiously.

How the hell can your body be so delicate?!” A confused look settled on Peach’s face, not knowing why he looked so freakout over a skinbruise since she was glad that he didn't cause more damage to her body than that.

“If your so-called husband asked you, you didn't get that from me…! Do you understand?!” Jacob snarled, staring at her.

“Do you hear me?! Why he suddenly looked so nervous when he spoke of Elijah had Peach confused, but she still said nothing,because she couldn't risk saying anything to anger him further.

“Yes…

You didn't bruise my hand,” She whispered, finally speaking after almost a moment of silent driving.

After a couple of hours' drive, as they were getting closer to the hotel, Jacob suddenly pulled over, glared at Peach, andsaid, Get out.
