The Marvelous Elijah's Return

The Marvelous Elijah's Return by Rever Chapter 117

Silently, Peach looked down at her fingers which were clasped around her hand and then lifted them so that theywere lying flat across the surface

under her

tongue, she had already let out roughly, "What do you want with it?!" Then she realized that Jacob still had a gun and she instantly regretted having said anything, freezing as she stared blankly at him. Her arrogant tone made him raise his hand, he was ready to back slap her really hard, but like he had a tiny Angel and devil on his shoulder, he heard a whisper, "That's gonna leave a nasty bruise. You said it yourself... Her skin is smooth. If you bruise her, it's still going to be there three days from now!" "So what?! Who gives a fuck?! Who the hell is that boy for a man like you to fear and respect!" The other voice echoed in his mind. "You two, shut up!!" Jacob screamed, shaking his head as he glared menacingly at Peach. For several seconds silence filled the air as she stared at him, wondering who he was talking to since it was just her and him in the room. "Give me the damn ring now!!" Jacob demanded again. A hint of reluctance sparked in Peach's eyes as she held his gaze for an extra minute before she reached for her hand and pulled off the band from her left ring finger. After shakily throwing it onto the table, she stared straight ahead, avoiding Jacob's gaze as he picked it up and stared at it. Then without saying a word, Jacob turned on his heels and walked out of the room, leaving her with moist eyes as her emotions came crashing down upon her. "Boss," A guy with a lot of ear piercings and blonde hair called out to Jacob as he shut the door behind him. "Are you leaving?" "Yes.

For now, he needs pictures of her to cooperate with us, and I need her intact for that. Is that clear?" Jacob replied in a rough tone. "Clear, Boss!" "I need to head out to test this shit and figure out if the stones are real diamonds or not." As Jacob was about to walk off, he saw his men standing around the door, and like a sound on replay in his head, Elijah's warning affected him more than he wanted to admit. After hesitating for several moments, he sighed heavily, knowing that he only had to play along for three days, so he turned to the door, and locked it before putting the keys into his back pocket. The warehouse was quiet as Elijah continued to silently stare at the picture of Peach that Jacob sent him... the tears in her eyes, the fake smile, and the stress in her expression had his heart constricted painfully, and it hurt to see her that miserable. Suddenly, when he stood up from the chair, an immediate tension settled in the atmosphere as Elijah shoved his phone into his pocket and then walked over to Jerome. "Take a scroll with me," Elijah ordered quietly before stepping past him. A look of terror clouded Melina's eyes as her lids widened, watching him walk out of the warehouse and
