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

Sierra glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already 2 PM. She stretched a little and turned to Elijah, who was lounging comfortably on the bed. “I’m going to make noodles,” she said casually. “Hope you’ll eat?”Elijah smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’m hungry. I’m waiting,” he replied, leaning back and watching her.Sierra nodded with a small smile and got up, heading to the kitchen. Twenty minutes later, she returned with two plates in her hands. The aroma of the saucy noodles filled the room, making Elijah sit up eagerly.The noodles were vibrant and appetizing, coated in a rich, spicy stir-fry sauce. They were mixed with sautéed vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and green onions, along with tender pieces of chicken seasoned perfectly. The dish was garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, giving it a professional touch.Sierra handed Elijah a plate, then sat down beside him with her own. “Here you go,” she said with a smile.Elijah took a bite and his eyes lit up

Sierra leaned forward slightly, her brows furrowed in concern. “I’m listening. Did something go wrong? Financially or something else? Because if it’s money, I can help. I’m making good money now,” she said earnestly.Her father shook his head, a small smile forming on his lips. “No, Sierra. Our finances are fine,” he said reassuringly. “The issue isn’t about money. The thing is, your mom and I made a decision... we’ve decided that we’re going to leave this city.”“Huh?” Sierra’s eyes widened in shock. “Leave this city? To where? Why?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Her dadclasped his hands together, his expression calm but serious. “We’re shifting the business,” he explained. “We found that the next city has more potential for what we’re doing. I already have a lot of clients there, and moving will allow me to build even more connections.”Her mother chimed in, nodding in agreement. “Your dad is right, sweetheart,” she said. “It’s the best decision for the business and fo

On the large, elegant bed in their master bedroom, General Marcus Steel lay beside his wife, Elijah’s mother, Catherine Steel, his expression grave. The dim bedside lamp cast a warm glow over the room, but the air felt heavy with the weight of his thoughts.Marcus sighed deeply, running a hand over his face as he stared at the ceiling. “There are troubling times ahead, Catherine,” he began, his voice low and serious. “The intelligence reports I’ve been reviewing… they’re not looking good.”Catherine turned to him, her soft features etched with concern. “What is it, Marcus? What kind of dangers?” she asked gently, placing a comforting hand on his arm.He exhaled sharply, his brows furrowed. “Instability in the region. Threats of insurgency in neighboring areas, and whispers of internal unrest. If things escalate, this country could face serious challenges—political, economic, and even military.”Catherine ’s eyes widened slightly, but she kept her voice calm. “Is it that bad?”Marcus

As evening settled in, Sierra stood in front of her mirror, finishing the final touches to her outfit. She had chosen a casual yet stylish look for her dinner with Chris, the mysterious FlibbityBoo. She wore a pair of light blue skinny jeans that hugged her curves perfectly and a simple white blouse tucked in neatly, the fabric soft and flowing. Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, and the top had delicate lace details along the neckline, adding a touch of elegance.Her hair was left loose, cascading down her back in soft waves, and her makeup was minimal but radiant—a light gloss on her lips and a hint of blush on her cheeks. She slipped on a pair of nude flats that complemented her outfit, giving her a relaxed but polished appearance. A small crossbody bag completed the look, slung over her shoulder, carrying just the essentials for the evening.She stepped back from the mirror, giving herself one last look. Her beauty radiated effortlessly, even in such a simple ensemble. She sighe

The drive was smooth, with the city lights glimmering in the distance. Within twenty five minutes, the car pulled up outside the Grand Oak Restaurant. The driver smiled at her through the rearview mirror. “Here we are, miss. Have a great evening.”“Thank you,” Sierra said, stepping out of the car and taking a deep breath. She adjusted her outfit slightly and walked toward the glowing entrance of the restaurant.A waitress approached her with a welcoming smile. “Good evening, ma’am.” She led Sierra to a cozy table near the window, where the view of the softly lit street outside added a romantic touch to the ambiance.“Please make yourself comfortable,” the waitress said, placing a menu on the table. “Would you like to order now, or should I give you a moment?”Sierra offered a polite smile. “Thank you, but I’m waiting for someone. I’ll order once they arrive.”The waitress nodded and left, leaving Sierra alone at the table. She glanced at her watch and then at the entrance, hoping Chri

Chris smiled confidently, adjusting his tie as he began. "Well, the work I do? I’m into import and export. It’s pretty demanding, and I’m always outside the country, flying here and there. In fact, I only came back recently to oversee some goods that arrived. After this, I’ll probably be off again soon."Sierra nodded, intrigued. "That sounds like a busy life.""It is," Chris agreed, leaning in slightly. "But it’s rewarding, and it gives me the flexibility to enjoy moments like this."He then gave her a charming smile. "As for where I stay, I live in a quiet neighborhood. It’s peaceful. You know, if you’re interested, you could visit after we’re done here.”Sierra immediately shook her head, feeling a little awkward. “No, no, I was just asking. Not to visit or anything.”Chris chuckled softly, his eyes lingering on her for a moment. “Fair enough. Just thought I’d extend the invite. You never know; it might be worth the trip.”Sierra forced a polite smile. She leaned forward slightly,

At New Ember Police Division 9, a black car rolled smoothly into the parking lot. The vehicle came to a stop near the entrance, drawing a few curious glances from officers nearby.The driver’s door opened, and Elijah Westbrook stepped out, dressed sharp as always, exuding an effortless aura of power and control. Felix exited from the passenger side, scanning the area subtly as he moved to join Elijah. The two men exchanged a brief look before walking toward the station’s glass doors.The nameplate above the building read, “New Ember Police Division 9 – Justice with Dignity."As Elijah and Felix stood just outside the station doors, Elijah reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. With a few swift taps, he dialed the officer’s number.The line rang once before it was picked up.“Hello?” the familiar voice of the policeman came through.Elijah spoke smoothly, “It’s Elijah Westbrook. I’ve arrived at the station.”“Oh—yes, sir!” the officer responded quickly, the tone of his voice

Phantom stepped closer, slowly, his boots clicking softly on the concrete floor. “Where?” he asked, voice calm but deadly. “And when?”The man swallowed hard. “About two nights ago. I was supposed to do a small job when I saw him—he got down from this sleek car, wearing nice clothes and all… so I knew he must have cash. I followed him, waited for the right time, and tried to rob him but… he stopped.”“But?” Phantom Reiss asked sharply, his tone already dangerous.The man lowered his head. “But… he beat me somehow. Quick. Strong. Before I knew it, I was on the ground and he just… walked away.”Smack!Phantom’s palm connected with the man’s cheek in one swift, vicious motion. The sound cracked through the room. The man stumbled sideways with a grunt, clutching his face.“What do you mean he beat you?” Phantom’s voice was laced with fury.The man dropped to his knees immediately, head bowed. “I’m sorry, boss… I’m sorry…”Phantom glared down at him, the dogs behind him still growling lowl

A few minutes passed as Elijah and Felix sat quietly in the car, then Elijah’s phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw the same number calling back.He answered swiftly. “Hello?”The policeman’s voice came through. “Yes, Mr. Westbrook. We checked—someone named Damian Cresswell was indeed brought here. He’s been in the holding cell since yesterday. Actually, we’re about to proceed with his case today.”Elijah gave a slow nod. “Is your station head around?”“Yes, sir. He’s in his office now.”Elijah’s expression sharpened. “Alright, I’m coming around then.”Elijah hung up and glanced at Felix. “Confirmed. He’s there. Let’s go.”Sierra and Betty finally pulled into the bustling lot of one of the city’s largest and most luxurious shopping malls. Its wide entrance buzzing with people going in and out, arms full of bags.Sierra smoothly parked her new car, the engine purring to a stop as she turned the key and unbuckled her seatbelt.“Whew! This place looks packed,” Betty said, already eyeing

Sierra drove for about twenty minutes, until she reached a busy street corner where Betty was already waiting, her phone in hand and her shades halfway down her nose. As soon as Sierra pulled up, Betty’s face lit up."Get in!" Sierra called with a grin, and Betty eagerly hopped into the passenger seat.The moment she settled in, Betty’s jaw dropped as she looked around the sleek, polished interior. “Wait—hold up. Whose car is this, Sierra?”“Mine,” Sierra said casually, one hand on the wheel, the other adjusting the music.“Yours?” Betty blinked in disbelief. “Ah, really? You bought a car?!”Sierra nodded with a small smile. “Yeah. Well… technically I paid like one percent of it. Elijah did the rest. He said it’s a gift.”Betty's mouth flew open. “What?! Elijah just gifted you a whole car? This is insane!” She ran her fingers along the dashboard, eyes wide. “This is so beautiful, my God. Girl, this interior? The smell? I feel like I should be paying rent just to sit in here.”Sierra l

As Celestine pressed her lips to Elijah’s, he responded, his hands instinctively finding her waist, pulling her closer. The kiss deepened—fierce, breathless.Elijah’s fingers trailed down, brushing the curve of her thigh before gripping it firmly, drawing her to him. Celestine let out a quiet breath against his lips, her body melting into his as his other hand slid up her back, steadying her. It was bold. Uncharted. Dangerous. And yet—neither of them pulled away.Celestine’s fingers curled around Elijah’s collar, tugging him closer as their lips met again—slower this time, more deliberate. Her breath hitched when his hand moved along her thigh, tracing the soft skin with a mixture of reverence and fire. She leaned into him, her body fitting against his like a puzzle piece long misplaced.“Elijah…” she whispered against his mouth, her voice unsteady yet wanting.He paused for a heartbeat, forehead resting against hers, eyes searching hers as if to confirm this wasn’t just adrenaline or

Celestine’s eyes blazed as she snapped, “You idiots! Who said I would’ve even listened—been cool—if Elijah hadn’t asked me to hold back?” Her voice cut through the boardroom like a whip, her anger barely restrained.The men flinched, guilt and humiliation plastered across their faces.Elijah rose slowly, his calm presence regaining control of the room. He looked over each of them before speaking, voice steady and absolute.“Just as I promised,” he said, “you won’t be fired. You won’t be handed over to the police.”The board members exhaled in visible relief—too soon.“But,” Elijah continued, his tone sharpening, “there will be punishment. Return the million immediately—every dollar.”They nodded eagerly.“But for one full year,” Elijah said, “none of you will have any authority to interfere in company decisions. You’ll remain on the board, yes—but you’ll hold zero approval power. Think of it as being ghosts in the room. Present. But powerless.”They gasped.“This is too much,” one of

It was the fourth man, the soft-spoken one who had claimed he only handled operations. His hand was raised stiffly, almost as if it pained him to do it. His voice cracked slightly, but there was no mistaking the words.“I’ll talk,” he repeated, eyes fixed on Elijah.The silence that followed was deafening.Elijah didn’t move, didn’t blink. He let the weight of the man’s confession sit heavy in the room for a heartbeat longer before slowly lowering the tablet to the table.“Good,” he said, his tone still calm. “Start talking.”The others gulped—visibly, audibly. One of them shifted in his seat. Another wiped at his brow, suddenly clammy. The room seemed to shrink around them as the man slowly stood, shoulders hunched beneath the weight of what he was about to reveal.He looked directly at Elijah, then at Celestine, whose expression remained carved from stone.“I—I’m sorry,” he began, voice trembling. “Please… don’t let Ms. Valencia send me to prison. I—I’ll tell the truth. All of it.”

Elijah held up the tablet. “Profit’s down, but revenue’s steady. Someone’s hiding cash—or pocketing it. And it’s not her.”He turned the screen toward them, showing a flat revenue line against a dipping profit. “She boosted output, cut downtime, saved a merger—every move you blamed her for made you money. So why frame her? Covering a stash? Or just mad she’s in charge?”The board sat stunned, their answers twisting back to expose their own failures—or worse. Celestine’s gaze hardened, catching the implication.Elijah lowered the tablet, his gaze shifting from the board to Celestine. The room’s tension was a coiled spring. He met her eyes, voice steady and calm.“Ms. Valencia, shall I continue? Do you want me to find out where the missing one million is? Might get stressful, but if you want, I can stay here, demand every report printed, trace every source, dig until I see where it went. Just an hour.”Celestine’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes flicking over the board before lo

Every head snapped toward him. The board members, caught off guard, stared in unison, their eyes narrowing as they processed his sudden intrusion. The younger man, still clutching the tablet he’d slid toward Celestine, blinked rapidly, his fingers tightening on the device.The man with the glasses spoke first, his tone sharp and suspicious. “Why? What does he want with that?” He leaned forward, adjusting his frames as he scrutinized Elijah, his voice rising slightly. “Who even are you to ask for it? This is a board matter—private. You’ve got no business touching our reports.”The first man, fingers still hovering near his tie, chimed in, his brow furrowing. “Yeah, what’s this about? You’re not part of this discussion. If you’ve got something to say, say it—don’t just demand our data.”The fourth man, softer-spoken but now edgy, added, “This isn’t a free-for-all. What’s he going to do with it? We don’t even know why he’s here.”Celestine’s eyes flashed, and she raised a hand, her voic
