Gazing intensely into the bathroom mirror, Elijah reached for his toothbrush but then paused as a memory of Lawyers Meeks’ words kept replaying in his head, the looks on his face when he said those words, and the way his body reacted a bit nervously to question about the will.

Immediately, he grabbed his phone off the sink and scrolled for Ryan’s number until he got to it, dialing it.

After ringing his number, the call got answered and Ryan’s voice popped up through the speaker, “Good morning, Boss…”

“I need us to discuss something important later on today, and I also need Matt and you this morning,” Elijah said as he watched the bathroom door

reflection in the mirror slowly pushed open, and Peach popped her head inside.

“Are we coming for the same reasons, or

“Something like that, but there’s more I need to pick your brains about.”

“I am getting Matt, and we are on our way.”

“Good, we will wait on you guys before we leave, so be here by nine.”

Wondering who her husband was talking to so seriously at seven in the morning, Peach reached her hands around his waist and kissed his bare back, resting her head flat against his warm skin.

“Okay, boss, we will be there before that hour,” Ryan’s voice echoed into Elijah’s ear before he ended the call a few seconds

later

Slowly, he turned around, and Peach took a step back to meet his eyes, but he suddenly picked her off the tiles by her waist and sat her on the counter, standing between her thighs and caging her in the middle of his hands.

“Morning, darling,” Elijah said, his voice deep and husky from sleepiness.

“Mor-ning…” Peach responded softly, as she slowly raised one hand and brushed some strands of hair from his forehead.” Something wrong?”

“You can say that… I need Ryan’s import on your grandfather’s will,”

“Did you find something wrong with it,”

“No, it’s not the will in general, it’s something else.”

A look of confusion appeared on Peach’s face, and she lowered her gaze to meet the floor, thinking extremely hard, even though she had no idea what her husband was implying

Resting his index finger under her chin, Elijah slowly lifted her head and made her meet his gaze, mumbling, “Don’t sweat it. I will tell you once I am sure about my doubts, already?”

“Okay, mi Amor,” Peach whispered, leaning forward and placing a small peck on his lips. “I trust you.”

Giving her a soft smile, Elijah nodded and said, wriggling his brow, “Spanish, I can get down with that… I love it.”

A chuckle escaped her lips as she rolled her eyes playfully, and they both shared a short laugh.

The cheerfulness almost lasted for a couple of minutes, and then Peach met Elijah’s eyes with a hesitant glance and asked, “How are we going to go about using the will to our advantage?”

“Apparently, your uncle Elmer is occupying your company, so we are simply going to go to the building this morning and ask him to get out, so you can take over,” Elijah told her with a hint of mischief in his tone.

“It’s not going to be as simple as you just made it sound, right?” Peach asked, raising an eyebrow.

“That all depends on the willingness of your uncle,”

“But,”

“We can not give them a heads-up. The moment these people find out vou have

moment these people find out you have the will… they already have the mindset of a maniac, and they will literally ruin that company, so you should not get your hands on it.”

“I get what you are saying, and you are right. Okay, we will do it your way,”

Seeing Peach take a deep breath, he kissed her cheek gently before whispering against her temple, “I promise you everything will be alright. I am right beside you.”

If there was one person she trusted wholeheartedly to stand by those words,

it would be her husband, so with her mind set on being able to trust him, she let herself be wrapped in his warm embrace.

Twenty minutes past nine, Dice had

Peach and Elijah in the backseat of the car, dressed up in business formal outfits, as he sat behind the steering wheel, and just a short distance behind them was Matt and Ryan in a black SUV, all driving in the direction of the Investistic Co.

The drive was a bit long because of morning traffic, but they got there by eleven o’clock, and the moment they walked into the building’s first lobby, Elmer and a couple of investors suddenly came walking towards them from the opposite direction.

The instant he and Peach’s eyes met, a storm of rage came crashing through Elmer, and yet, his expression remained neutral, trying not to let anyone know how much of a bad mood he was in.

‘Pretense and Patience,’ Peach thought, suppressing her anger to appear more
