The Marvelous Elijah's Return by Rever Chapter 119

 

A died manFor the first time, sleep was not something Elijah knew for an entire night, and when the morning light crept into his room, he was sitting onthe edge of his bed, feeling a bit exhausted after spending every second of last night rearranging the chess board to his liking, and it was time for him to make his first move.

But as he reached for his phone, an unknown number suddenly popped up on the screen, causing him to pause and then answered, frowning when heheard, "You little crook...""Who is this?" Elijah asked impatiently.

"You are loaded as fuck! It's all diamonds... The ring is worth millions of bucks.

You have been shitting around with the act of being a broke ass, but you got the dollars and you are not afraidto spend them on Peach!""lt's you... from last night's call..." The frown on Elijah's face deepened, realizing that Jacob was switching in between contacts, and then he heard his voice laugh hysterically through the phone before saying, "Why though... Why hide the fact that you are loaded with cash... What's your sick game here, boy? Huh?!" "You have five more minutes to send me the next picture of my wife," Elijah said calmly.

"Right... Right. And now that I know how much you are willing to spend on just a wedding ring forher... I have a little more than Elmer's lawsuit getting dropped, to ask for Preach freedom." "Name your price... I am listening."The line went quiet immediately, and Elijah woke from the bed, pacing back and forth across his room in his socks.

Twenty million dollars!!" Jacob finally shouted over the phone.

"Twenty million for her release/'lmmediately, Elijah's expression darkened, and he silently snorted at those words before saying, "I don't have that kindof money laying around but give me one week, and I will get it.""So you are fucking loaded! Wow... I asked your wife how much she thought her ring was worth, and she called a couple of thousand dollars in guesses...

Peach doesn't know who you are... What are you playing at?!" Jacob said with a type of cockiness in his tone that made Elijah realize Scorpio was a hundred percentright.

"Your five minutes are up. I would like a picture of my wife now.""Oh, don't worry, boy. Now that I know the value of who I have, Peach will be well -taken care of... Until you make the wrong move... then I canpromise you that her pretty face is never going to look the same."

"No need for threats... I will start arrangements for the money and Elmer's release today. Just... Don't... Don't hurt her.""We have eyes on you, boy... I hope you know what'sat stake here... Don't tempt me to unleash my dogs that are drooling over your wife..." "Like I said before... There's no need for threats."The call abruptly ended in Elijah's ear, and he withdrew his phone to stare at the screen, taking only five seconds to dial Scorpio up.
