The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

dangerous sacrifices “Are you sure that you want to go?” Elijah mumbled, watching Peach as she left the bed., Looking back at her husband, Peach smiled softly. “I am just going to pop in and out of the company. I have been feeling a bit restless, and I want to check how things are going there.” Even though Elijah knew that they had capable employees, he could see that Peach was stressed, and he sighed, saying, “Okay.” “Thanks, babe. I will be home before you know it.” Peacli replied, kissing him gently on the cheek before leaving for the bathroom.

After the door slut behind her, Elijah climbed out of bed and walked over to the window, opening it slightly to look outside

When the sound of their bedroom door opened after three knocks, Elijah turned his gaze away from the window to meet Rookie‘s eyes, and his man let out, “Should you be standing up with those wounds?”

“The pain is not the same as one week ago,” Elijal said, taking careful steps away from the window.

His feet felt heavy on the tiled floor as he slowly made his way over to the couch. He sank onto it and pulled his legs up, letting the coolness sink into his aching muscles.

“Have you found out wlio Jewel and the others are selling Reinvest to?” Elijah asked.

“No one in the business circle is willing to take the risk. They all seemed to be scared to even interact with the Hayes, even though it‘s been one week since Jewel did the interview, sacrificing Josh through their claim that he hasn‘t been to himself since he and Iris divorced.” Rookie replied. “I guess I have to push some buttons then.”

“What do you mean?”

A half–smirk settled on Elijah‘s lips as he looked up at Rookie, and a mischievous look settled in his eyes as he raised a brow, saying, “Reinvest is not theirs to sell... It‘s Peach‘s.” The was a brief pause as Rookie thought about it, and then he heard Elijah say, “I heard Mr. Astor been calling to make an amendment with me for what his daughter did. Tell Ryan to invite him to lunch at DuskyGold Restaurant.” “Yes, boss.” Rookie said, even though he knew nothing of his boss‘s plan. Aster Rookie left, a couple of minutes later, Peach walked into the bedroom, and Elijah smiled at her. “I heard a voice?” Peach said as she walked over to him. “Did your father–”

“No. It was Rookie. Umm... What do you say about expanding Investic?” Elijah asked as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her toward him, resting his head on her stomach as she ran her fingers through his hair “Hmm, in what sense?”

“I want to buy Reinvest... What do you think? It will be better if your grandfather‘s company ends up in his blood hands than some stranger‘s.” At nine o‘clock, Investic was still crowded with reporters that had been camping outside of the building for days, hoping Peach or Elijah would make an appearance. The moment they saw the black SUVs approaching, the crowd of reporters rushed toward the vehicles, but they were pushed aside by Larry and the others as soon as they stepped out the car doors, trying their best to keep Peach hidden behind the barrier.

Questions were flying left and right from every reporter while forcing themselves to see Peach, and yet, Larry and his men were showing no weakness in their defense system as they guarded Peach towards the building.
