The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 5

“Good evening passengers. The flight from Syldavia to Bordoria is currently in the final stages of preparation for landing.” The announcement boomed throughout the cabin.

 

Closing his eyes, Elijah sighed and leaned back into the seat behind him as he nervously toyed with his wedding ring while it sunk in that he was now divorced and was finally meeting his parents after years of being away.

 

There were a lot of emotions to process between getting betrayed by Melina and returning home. It was all too much to even try to figure out just how he was going to handle all of it.

 

After the plane finally landed, the passengers got up to leave, and since Elijah had no baggage, he left first class and entered the terminal.

 

With a cap on his head, Elijah kept his head down and his hands inside his trouser pocket, trying not to draw any attention to himself.

 

The moment Elijah stepped out of the building, it took only a couple of seconds for him to hear, “Master Maxwell!”

 

Stopping in his steps, Elijah turned around and saw none other than Butler James walking toward him.

 

Immediately, he noticed people staring at him and whispering, and Elijah lowered his cap, shrugging his shoulders to make himself look smaller.

 

“What are you doing?” Elijah whispered when Butler James arrived right in front of him. “You know I don’t like the attention of others-”

 

“I’m sorry, master. I am just so happy that you are here, back with us,” Butler James said, reaching up to take his hand and squeezing it. “I can barely believe this is happening.”

 

Not holding back, Butler James rushed into Elijah’s arms, hugging him tightly.

 

Even though Elijah was caught off guard at first, but then he hugged him back, smiling fondly, “It’s been quite some time, hasn’t it?”

 

Pulling out of his arms, Butler Elijah smiled weakly and let out, “Yes, master. You don’t know how mad your mother has been since your father kicked you out of the mansion.”

 

A few years ago, Mr. Maxwell, a well-known figure in the business world in Bordoria, and a man of high prestige, known by many, and respected by countless, looked into Elijah’s eyes and said, “Son, it’s time for you to get out of my house.”

 

Looking back now, Elijah could only smile at his father’s drastic decision to send him to another country to experience the real world for himself, because with such a status in Bordoria, he was never going to see humans for who they truly were.

 

Unfortunately, Melina was the first person he fully trusted with his heart, aside from his family, and the result was an ugly divorce with her, lies, betrayal, and humiliation.

 

Growing up with his family’s money and title, the world was black and white for Elijah as a young man, but after his father kicked him out, he started to realize that sometimes the world wasn’t so nice to those without money or connections.
