The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 21. A Bitter Reunion
The next day Elijah took Sophia on a long drive to lighten her mood. But nothing was working.“Why are you so quiet, Sophia?” Elijah asked softly, glancing at her as they drove through the streets of Arthurton.Sophia sat in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery.Her eyes were distant, filled with sadness."I’ve lost everything," she whispered."My family... I don’t belong anywhere anymore."Elijah clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white. He hated seeing her like this—broken, defeated.“You still have me,” he said firmly.“We’ll fix this. Together.”Sophia turned to him, her eyes glistening with tears.“I don’t know, Elijah... I don’t think my family will ever accept me again.”Elijah’s jaw tightened.He didn’t care much for the Donald family’s approval, but he knew how much they meant to Sophia.And for that reason, he’d make sure they regretted turning their backs on her.“We’re going to see Ethan,” Elijah said, his voice steady.“They don’t deser
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 22. The Helpless Return
"Look at this place!"Reno's eyes widened as he and Hague stepped out of their car, staring up at the massive, luxurious Arthur Palace in disbelief.Hague whistled under his breath, shaking his head."This is where Sophia lives now? I knew things were going well for her, but this..."He trailed off, his face turning sour with jealousy.Reno scoffed, crossing his arms as he glared at the palace."No way she earned this on her own. She must be getting help from someone like Lando Yale. Otherwise, how could she afford this mansion?"His voice dripped with contempt."And to think she’s the one getting special treatment in business while we’re left begging her to come back."Hague nodded, still looking at the palace."Whatever deal she’s struck, it doesn’t matter. We’re here to bring her back to the family, no matter what."They exchanged a look, then marched up to the grand entrance.A butler opened the door, and they stepped inside, their shoes tapping against the marble floor as they we
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 23. The Power Shift
“Please, Sophia,” Hague said, his voice uncharacteristically soft as he stood at the entrance of Arthur Palace.Reno was beside him, looking anything but proud. “We need you to come back to the family.”Sophia crossed her arms, her expression cold.“And why should I believe either of you? After the way you treated me, you expect me to just walk back in?” she scoffed.Reno glanced away, his jaw clenched in frustration, but he said nothing. He knew that arrogance wouldn’t help them now.The tides had turned, and they were at Sophia’s mercy.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 24. The Veil of Shame
“Sophia, you brought back 15% of the company shares?” her brother exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.His hand trembled on the door handle, and he immediately stepped aside.“Come in, come in! I didn’t realize… I didn’t know you’d be able to do that.”Sophia hesitated for a moment, feeling the sudden shift in her brother’s attitude. Moments ago, he had practically slammed the door in her face, but now, his tone dripped with fake warmth.He led them inside, a grin plastered on his face.“I knew you’d come through for the family, Sophia,” he said, his voice oily.“This changes everything. We’ll be able to afford that new car I’ve been eyeing for months.” He rubbed his hands together, already lost in thoughts of luxury.Sophia bit her lip, uncomfortable with the sudden attention. Just moments before, she had been on the brink of being kicked out, and now, her brother couldn’t hide his greed. She looked over at Elijah, who gave her a nod, silently encouraging her to remain steady.As
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 25. Winters’ Unknown Move
"You dare lay a hand on me?!" Kate's voice echoed through the restaurant, her cheek flushed red from the slap Elijah had delivered.The entire room fell silent, all eyes on the unfolding confrontation. Elijah stood tall, his face cold and unreadable, while Sophia, still sitting, clenched her hands in her lap, her eyes filled with shame and pain.She could feel the stares on her scarred face, the murmurs of disgust spreading through the room like wildfire. "You’ve disgraced my family in front of the entire city!" Kate hissed, her eyes burning with fury.She stepped back, nursing her wounded pride as if it had been shattered beyond repair.Elijah’s gaze didn’t waver."You should think twice before attacking someone defenseless, Kate," he said, his voice low but sharp enough to slice through the tension in the air.Kate’s expression twisted into a sneer."Defenseless? That scarred face of hers deserves it!" she spat. "And mark my words, Elijah, this isn’t over. My family won’t forget t
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 26. Behind the Mask
Doug stepped closer before he continued, his expression dark."They’re trying to take over what’s left of the Shaw family's assets—particularly the Lava Heart. The Winters have already started absorbing the Shaw family's business connections, and William Winter got his sights set on the Nortons’ heirloom."Elijah’s eyes flashed with anger at the mention of the Lava Heart. "That belongs to the Norton family," he muttered, his hands tightening into fists. "The Shaws stole it. I was going to take it back."Doug nodded. "And now the Winters are moving in. Kate’s been going around bragging that soon, the Lava Heart will belong to the Winters."Elijah’s jaw clenched, his thoughts racing. "Additionally, Sophia isn't safe either. Kate won’t stop until she gets what she wants," he muttered. "And William Winter won’t let this slide. He won’t let anyone get away with slapping his daughter in public."Doug’s eyes flickered with unease. "You made a powerful enemy today, Marshal. William Winter isn
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 27. A Carefully Laid Trap
Elijah walked beside Olivia, scanning the quiet, desolate street as they moved forward. The night was still, the only sound being the occasional rustle of leaves and their footsteps. Olivia kept glancing around nervously, clearly uneasy."It's strange, isn't it?" she muttered, looking up and down the road. "Not a single cab in sight. And my car...""It's okay," Elijah tried to be polite with his tone. "Don't worry. We'll find one soon."Just then, Elijah's phone buzzed in his pocket. He glanced at the screen—Sophia’s name flashed on it. He quickly cut the call, shoving the phone back in his pocket.Olivia raised an eyebrow. "Maybe it's important. You should answer."Elijah waved it off with a casual shrug. "It can wait. Right now, I’m making sure you’re safe."As if on cue, a cab finally appeared, slowing down beside them. Olivia sighed in relief as the cab came to a stop. She turned to Elijah, her eyes filled with gratitude."Thank you, James," she said softly. "You’ve been a real li
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 28. Sweet Disguise, Deadly Intent
Elijah ran a hand through his hair, trying to come up with an excuse for the grayish strands that Sophia had noticed."Maybe I brushed up against something, or it’s just some color that got in my hair," he said casually.Sophia raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on her face."Or maybe you’re just aging, Elijah. Going gray already?"Elijah, for the first time in years, sulked and pouted slightly. He wasn’t used to being teased, especially not about something as simple as his hair. Sophia let out a soft giggle."Aww," she cooed, "look at you. Who would’ve thought that the mighty soldier could be this cute?"Elijah shot her a mock glare, though the corners of his lips turned up in a small smile."Cute, huh? That’s a first."Sophia leaned in and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close. "Even tough soldiers can have their moments."They shared a quick but sweet cuddle, holding each other under the warm light of their bedroom.Sophia, content and at peace, soon drifted off to sleep i
