“Young master,” Isla’s voice came through briskly. “I just wanted to inform you that I’ve released the news about the party and the singer selection process. It’s already live across all platforms.”Elijah nodded subtly, keeping his voice low. “Alright, thanks for the update,” he said, deliberately keeping the conversation short.“Of course, sir. Let me know if you need anything else,” Isla replied.“Will do,” Elijah said before quickly hanging up, not wanting to delve deeper into the topic with Sierra sitting across from him. He placed the phone back on the table and leaned back in his chair, masking any trace of the conversation with a relaxed smile.Sierra, still engaged in her phone conversation, barely noticed, only glancing up briefly before returning to her messages. Elijah smirked lightly to himself, satisfied that she hadn’t picked up on anything unusual.As Sierra was engrossed in her conversation, FlibbityBoo sent another message:“Alright, I won’t keep you too long. We’ll

She smiled nervously but felt reassured by his words. Seeing his calm confidence helped ease the tension in her chest. “Thank you, Elijah,” she said sincerely. “For pushing me to do this.”Elijah smirked, tilting his head slightly. “You don’t need to thank me, Sierra. I’m just doing what a good friend does—believing in you.”Her smile widened, and she couldn’t help but feel a spark of hope as they both sat there.As Sierra glanced down at her phone, likely checking over her submission again, Elijah subtly pulled out his own phone. He quickly typed a message to Isla:“Sierra has filled out her application for the lead singer spot. Here are her details:Full Name: Sierra LaneNumber: [He Inserted Number]TikTok URL: [He Inserted URL].”Elijah then glanced at Sierra, who was still focused on her phone, unaware of his actions. Casually, he tilted his phone and took a quick picture of her sitting there, looking thoughtful and radiant in the soft light of the room. He added the image to the

Celestine raised an eyebrow, her professional demeanor never faltering. “I’ve seen the headlines,” she replied. “The $1 million donation to orphanages and the singing contest. It’s all over the news.”Marcellus nodded, slipping his sunglasses down slightly to look at her more directly. “They’re creating quite the buzz. A move like this—it’s bold and strategic. Not just philanthropy, but branding. Dominion is positioning itself as a leader with values, and it’s working.”Celestine tilted her head, considering his words. “It’s smart,” she admitted. “They’re gaining public favor while keeping their name at the forefront. People are eating it up.”Marcellus smiled faintly, his gaze thoughtful. “It’s a tactic we could learn from. The public loves a story, Celestine—something to inspire them. Keep that in mind as you handle things while I’m away.”“I will,” she said confidently, her tone calm yet resolute. “But Dominion’s move has raised the bar for all of us. If they keep this up, they’ll

In Elijah's bedroom, the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. The lights were turned off, and the curtains were drawn, plunging the room into a dim ambiance illuminated only by the soft glow of the large-screen TV mounted on the wall. A Netflix movie was playing, its eerie soundtrack filling the room.Elijah sat comfortably on the bed, dressed casually, while Sierra was nestled close by his side. On the nightstand beside them was a bottle of red wine and two glasses. Elijah reached over, picked up the bottle, and poured a glass for each of them, handing one to Sierra with a small smile.The movie on the screen grew tense—a suspenseful horror film filled with haunting music, jump scares, and ominous shadows creeping through dark hallways. A sudden loud thud in the movie made Sierra flinch slightly, her eyes widening. She set her glass down on the bedside table and turned to Elijah. “This is scary,” she said, her voice tinged with nervousness. “I’m already afraid!”Elijah glanced at her,

Daniel shuffled into the washroom, his steps sluggish as he fought off the remnants of sleep. The cool tiles under his feet jolted him awake slightly as he turned on the faucet. Splashing cold water onto his face, he let out a low groan, the refreshing sensation helping him shake off his grogginess. He grabbed a towel, patting his face dry before reaching for his toothbrush.After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth thoroughly, he stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. His reflection looked as tired as he felt, but there was no time to dwell on it. Tossing the towel onto the counter, he exited the washroom.He made his way out of his bedroom and down the hallway. As he descended the staircase, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the kitchen, but he ignored it, heading straight to the parlor.As Daniel entered the parlor, he saw his father, Lawrence Everhart, sitting on one of the elegant sofas, a cup of coffee in hand. Standing beside him was the family chef, ho

“But, Dad, what am I supposed to do?” Daniel stammered, panic creeping into his voice. “That’s your problem to solve,” Lawrence snapped. “I’ve given you more than enough chances, Daniel. You’ve proven that you don’t understand responsibility. So, you’ll either figure out how to recover that money, or you’ll learn what it’s like to live without my support. And if that takes a year or longer, so be it.” Daniel gulped, his face pale. “Dad, please...” “No,” Lawrence said firmly, his expression cold and resolute. “This is the line, Daniel. You’ve crossed it, and now you’ll deal with the consequences.” Lawrence exhaled sharply, clearly trying to rein in his temper. He reached for his phone and dialed the chef’s number. After a few rings, the chef answered, “Yes, sir?” “I’ll transfer the money to you directly,” Lawrence said, his voice clipped and firm. “Make sure everything on the list is bought and handled properly.” “Understood, sir. Thank you,” the chef replied. Lawrence ended the

As Sierra sat fuming, her phone buzzed again, its screen lighting up with Daniel’s name. She frowned deeply, holding the phone up for Elijah to see. “He’s calling again,” she said, her voice laced with frustration.Elijah’s eyes narrowed, his irritation clear. “Hand me the phone,” he said firmly, extending his hand.Sierra hesitated for only a moment before nodding and passing the phone to him. “Go ahead,” she said, leaning back and crossing her arms, waiting to see how Elijah would handle it.Elijah answered the call, his tone calm but deadly. “Hello.”Immediately, Daniel’s voice came through, loud and insistent. “Sierra, you need to—”“Look, Daniel,” Elijah cut him off sharply, his voice dripping with authority. “If you need money, go to TikTok’s office and demand your money from them. Don’t disturb her again with this nonsense.”Daniel stammered on the other end, caught off guard by the interruption. “I—”“I feel like smacking you at this moment,” Elijah continued coldly, his tone

Sophia stepped into Damian’s office, her black pencil skirt hugging her curves perfectly. Her bold red lipstick accentuated her full lips, and her sharp heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she entered. Her confident demeanor made heads turn wherever she went, and Damian was no exception.Damian’s face lit up with a sly smile as he saw her. Rising from his chair, he walked toward her with purpose, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. “You look stunning as always,” he said smoothly, his voice low.Sophia gave him a small smirk, adjusting the folder she was carrying. “You called for me?” she asked, her tone light but knowing.Damian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he reached behind her and turned the lock on the office door with a click. The sound sent a shiver of tension through the room. He leaned casually against his desk, gesturing for her to come closer.As Sophia moved forward, Damian reached out, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her to his side. His han

"I... I..." Celestine stammered, her voice barely above a whisper."I what?" Elijah pressed, his gaze locked on hers, waiting.Celestine swallowed hard, finally exhaling. "I don't know what's wrong with me," she admitted. "Ever since that night... I keep thinking about it. About you. It doesn't make sense."Elijah's eyes darkened slightly with intrigue. "Thinking about me? How?"Celestine shifted under his intense gaze. "I just... I don’t understand it. I try to push it away, but it keeps coming back. And it’s frustrating." She took a deep breath. "I have my life figured out, Elijah. I don’t need distractions.”Elijah raised a brow, a smirk playing on his lips. "What did I do that I'm a distraction?"Celestine exhaled sharply. "You touched me that day, kept touching me, drawing me close... It was like a grade-one romance."Elijah's smirk deepened. "First time?"Celestine hesitated before nodding slightly, admitting the truth.Elijah tilted his head. "Didn't you just say you have a fia

Inside, Elijah was led into a grand, elegantly furnished living area. The bodyguard gestured toward a large, luxurious couch.“Please, have a seat. I’ll go call Ms. Valencia,” he said before turning to leave.Elijah nodded. “Alright.”As he settled into the plush couch, he let his gaze wander around the room. The décor was refined, exuding wealth and power. His eyes landed on a collection of framed photographs hanging on the wall.Most of them were of Celestine—striking, confident, and effortlessly beautiful in every shot. Some captured her at formal events, dressed in elegant gowns, while others were more casual, showcasing her poised yet commanding presence.Among them, a few stood out—photos of Celestine with her father, Marcellus Valencia. The two looked composed, their resemblance undeniable. Marcellus, with his authoritative aura, stood beside his daughter, who seemed every bit his equal in stature and presence.Elijah smirked slightly, leaning back on the couch, waiting for Cel

Elijah’s gaze flickered slightly as he spoke, “The donation? I’ll be in your office tomorrow so that we can speak about it. How about that?”“Alright, sir. I’ll expect you then,” Isla replied smoothly.With that, the call ended. Elijah lowered his phone, slipping it back into his pocket before walking back to Sierra.Elijah looked at her and asked, “So what’s the plan then?”“Should we swim?” Sierra suggested, tilting her head slightly.“Swim?” Elijah repeated before nodding. “That’s a good idea then.”“Also, tonight I’ll be going live from this side,” she added casually.Elijah nodded. “Without your equipment here, can you still?”She smiled. “Oh yeah, it’s just a normal live, not a singing live, so it’s fine. I can do it anywhere.”Elijah nodded again. “Alright then. Let me go get what I’ll use to swim.”She nodded as well and followed him inside to change.The car came to a halt in front of the police station, its doors swinging open as two officers stepped out. Damian was yanked o

Elijah raised a brow. Her house?“Your house? Tonight? What time?” he asked. He suddenly wished he had said he had plans—if he left, Sierra would be alone for the evening.“8 p.m. will be fine. Give me a call before then,” Celestine said.“Alright.” Elijah ended the call, slipping his phone back into his pocket. Then, he turned to Sierra.“I’m sorry, I might not be available for you tonight.”Sierra nodded and said, “I don’t have a problem. Are you going to meet someone?”Elijah nodded. “Yes, I didn’t expect a call, but…”“It’s fine.” Sierra smiled at him, her tone light. “I understand. Let’s just go and eat.”Elijah held her gaze for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”He then focused back on the road ahead as Sierra smoothly maneuvered the car toward a nearby restaurant. Elijah asked the drivers in the towing truck to join them as they ate together. Later they continued. Sophia reached home, her mind clouded with frustration and bitterness. As the cab pulled up to the gate, the se

"JUST DRIVE!" she snapped, her voice sharp and filled with frustration.The driver flinched, glancing at her through the mirror. "Uh, okay…" he muttered, clearly taken aback by her outburst.Meanwhile, in her luxurious office at Valencia Group, Celestine Valencia sat poised in front of her computer, immersed in drafting an important email.Her office was pristine, modern, and bathed in natural light from the towering windows behind her. Her dark brown hair was styled into a sleek, low ponytail, complementing the elegant yet powerful aura she exuded.Today, she wore a cream-colored silk blouse tucked into a fitted charcoal-gray pencil skirt that hugged her curves. A pair of diamond studs adorned her ears, subtle yet undeniably expensive.Even though she looked busy, there was one name ringing in her head. “Elijah.”The mere thought of his name sent an unexplainable tension through her body.And then, the memories came rushing back.His strong hands gripping her waist.The warmth of his

Outside, Elijah’s two newly purchased vehicles were already loaded onto a large towing truck, ready to follow them home. The sight of them neatly secured made Jacob even more pleased, knowing he had just closed a significant deal with a high-profile customer.Sierra twirled her Audi Q8 key in her fingers before unlocking the car and getting in. She adjusted her seat and buckled up while Elijah slid into the passenger seat, his usual composed demeanor in place.Just as Sierra placed her hands on the steering wheel, about to drive out, Elijah stopped her.“Wait,” he said, his voice smooth but firm. “Won’t you take some pictures?”Sierra blinked, caught off guard, before chuckling softly. “Oh… right! I should.” She stepped out of the car and pulled out her phone, taking a few pictures of herself standing beside her new Audi Q8. She made sure to capture different angles—some with the car door open, others with her hand on the wheel, and even a short video of the interior.Elijah leaned c

Elijah nodded. “If you love it, of course. Why not?” He then turned to Jacob. “How much is it?”Jacob smiled. “The 2024 Audi Q8 is priced at $78,000 for this fully loaded version. But since it’s you, young boss, I can offer a special deal—$75,000 with all the necessary paperwork handled immediately.”Sierra’s eyes widened slightly at the price, but she remained quiet, looking at Elijah to see his reaction.Elijah turned to Sierra. “Are you okay with the price?”Sierra looked at the car again, her fingers brushing over its sleek surface before nodding. “Yeah, I can afford it.”Jacob smiled. “Perfect!”As Sierra finalized her choice, Elijah continued strolling through the garage, his sharp eyes scanning the variety of luxury vehicles. He wasn’t in a rush, simply taking in the selection.Then, his gaze landed on a striking 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado—rugged yet refined, built for both city drives and tough terrains. The sleek midnight black exterior gleamed under the soft lighting of

Elijah watched as more people excitedly approached Sierra, some even trying to get closer for more pictures and videos. He could see that Sierra, though polite, was starting to look overwhelmed.Stepping forward, he raised his hand slightly, his expression firm but composed. "Alright, that's enough," he said in a calm yet authoritative tone. "She's here for business, not a fan meeting. Let her be."His presence alone was enough to make some people hesitate. A few lingered, reluctant to leave, but Elijah’s sharp gaze swept over them. "You’ve had your pictures, now move along," he added.Slowly, the crowd dispersed, some whispering among themselves about how protective Elijah seemed over Sierra. As the last few people walked away, Elijah turned to Sierra. "Don’t let it bother you. Just focus on what you came here for," he said, his voice gentler now.Sierra exhaled, giving him a small smile. "Thanks."Elijah simply nodded, keeping his attention ahead as they waited for Jacob.Meanwhile,
