The Marvelous Elijah's Return

What is Elijah doing? 

The atmosphere at the conference table immediately grew intense as Mathew, Dean, Tommy, Eli, Elmer, Cora, and Amelia sat at the table the moment Dean uttered, “Mother has confirmed that Peach is hell-bent on marrying Elijah.” 

“This is all your daughter’s fault,” Elmer mumbled underneath his breath, rubbing his temple in frustration “What did you say?!” “It’s Melina’s fault for bringing that damn bastard into our lives… If she didn’t bet on his ass, Peach and her mother would have still known their place beneath us, Tommy would have eventually driven those two out of the motel, and I wouldn’t be losing my company to those two. Damnit!” 

As Dean moved his lips to speak, his phone started ringing, causing him to pull it out of his pocket. When he noticed who was calling, he answered, mumbling, “Mason,” 

“Who is Melina’s ex-husband?!” Mason’s voice boomed from the other side of the line, sounding furious. “Elijah? Why are you asking about him?” “Who is he, Dean?!” 

A frown crept across Dean’s face when he heard Mason’s raised tone and then he sighed. “Are you drunk, Mason?” “No!! I am frustrated. But I am also curious about who the heck your daughter got married and divorced to!!” Mason’s tone became even more enraged, which caused Dean’s eyebrows to furrow, and his grip on his phone tightened slightly. Not wanting to bear the embarrassment of not knowing a damn thing about his ex-son-in law, Dean dodged the question with a, “Calm down, Mason… Why are you making an issue out of some bum?!” 

Everyone around the table’s attention was now fully focused on Dean, wanting to know who was the other person on the call. 

“A bum!! A bum!! Okay, then tell me why the hell is that bum meeting up with Bryan Checks, and I just lost a million of dollars deal with Check because of him…” Mason’s voice started to rise with each word. “Mason, please… I don’t know what the hell you are talking about.” Dean tried to convince him, but it wasn’t going too well. “Tell me, Dean! Who is this guy?!” “Calm yourself, Mason.” 

“Haha!! It’s true when people say… The people that you circle yourself around can either lift you or fuck you over!! And for you, Dean, you have screwed me over, by just the fact that we are friends!!” 

“You are not making any damn sense right now, Mason! Stop acting crazy!” 

A robust laugh echoed from the line, and Dean looked at everyone in the room in disbeliet. 

“1 know that I am not making sense! And, that’s even more irritating, Dean!! But you know what, you and I are over as friends and business partners, and you should stay the fuck out of my life because this whole situation is your fault!!” Mason roared, his anger seeping into his voice. 

down and speak to me like a sensible human being!! You’ve always had a temper, I get that, but I never thought you’d lose it like this!!” Dean yelled back at

Mason’s rage.” Dean finally replied, his gaze flickering between his siblings. “First, Mr. Fangio, and now, Mason…” Amelia uttered, frowning at her thoughts. “What is Elijah doing? Is he trying to hurt our family’s reputation?” “Just by his title of being Melina’s Ex, his scandals have harmed our family name. And now that Peach wants to marry him… Imagine what that would do to our family reputation! Our entire family legacy would crumble!!” Cora

Lifting his chin slightly as his eyes trailed over to look down at Bryan standing next to him, Elijah cleared his throat before he asked, “We had lunch. Now, are you going to tell me what’s the update?” After glancing at Matt, Bryan took a sip of his drink before he turned his body towards Elijah and leaned against the railing, crossing his arms. “Do you want to be my date at an old man’s

was a brief pause, and then a mischievous smile crept onto Bryan’s face,

just two men, going together. Do you have a preference for the kind of women you prefer?” Bryan questioned, smirking at Elijah’s expression. Subconsciously, Elijah’s gaze darted towards Matt, and he
