Soon, Elijah’s breakfast was delivered—a delicious spread just as elaborate as his dinner the night before. He savored each bite, taking his time as he soaked in this rare taste of luxury. Once he was done, he tidied up, making sure his outfit was just right, then left his room looking well-dressed and confident.As Elijah approached the reception desk, the receptionist’s eyes widened slightly, taken aback by his transformation. Gone was the man in casual, rumpled clothes; now he stood before her, well-dressed, exuding confidence with a polished look that highlighted his striking features.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted with newfound respect, almost surprised by her own tone. "Did you enjoy your stay in the penthousesuite? And—oh, I see the clothes suited you perfectly.”Elijah nodded, a slight smile on his face. “Yes, thank you. It was a great experience.”The receptionist beamed, clearly relieved that he was satisfied.Elijah glanced at the receptionist, nodding appreciatively. "T

The driver noticed him and pulled over to the curb. Elijah stepped forward to talk to the driver when he caught sight of someone sitting in the back seat—a passenger. His eyes widened slightly, taking in her striking appearance. She was a stunning, thick woman with a confident air, her figure gracefully filling out the curves of her fitted dress.Elijah froze for a moment, his gaze locked on the woman in the back seat. It took him a second to fully register who he was seeing—Sierra Lane, the TikToker he'd watched on live the night before, the very one he’d sent money to on a whim. Seeing her in person now, looking even more stunning than on screen, left him momentarily speechless.He couldn't believe the coincidence. Out of all the cabs he could’ve flagged down, it had to be this one. Part of him wondered if he should say something, if she’d recognize him, but he quickly realized she’d have no idea who he was.Elijah leaned forward slightly, telling the driver his destination and list

Meanwhile, as Sierra arrived on campus, she barely had time to adjust her bag over her shoulder before a crowd of students suddenly surrounded her. Startled, she paused, glancing around at the familiar faces, all wearing curious or eager expressions. Sierra was no stranger to attention—she was famous across New Ember University, not just for her rising popularity on TikTok but also for being one of the most admired girls on campus. She had her share of admirers, people crushing on her, and even envious glances.But this was different; she wasn’t expecting a swarm like this. Her eyebrows raised in confusion as she wondered what was going on.“Sierra!” one of them called out, grinning. “We were watching your live yesterday—who’s that person who gave you all those gifts?”Sierra blinked, realization dawning on her. Oh… right. She’d almost forgotten that plenty of her classmates would have been tuning into her live stream, eagerly watching every moment.Clearing her throat, she tried to

At the same time, the cab stopped at the designated area, and Elijah stepped out, paying for both his and Sierra's fare before heading toward the popular big show center where cars were on display.The place was like a modern, upscale mall. In the center, there was a spacious showroom area, where three cars were placed prominently on display, each one drawing attention from the crowd gathered around them. The atmosphere was a mix of luxury and excitement, with people admiring the cars, chatting, and some even taking pictures.Elijah's eyes were immediately drawn to the three cars. The first was a Tesla Model S, a sleek, futuristic electric car with a shiny black exterior, drawing crowds who were impressed by its tech features and advanced design. Beside it, a BMW M5 gleamed with a sophisticated silver finish. Lastly, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class stood elegantly in a deep metallic blue, exuding luxury and comfort, with its plush interiors and innovative features.A salesman was standing be

The old man’s eyes widened in surprise, and the surrounding crowd fell silent for a moment, sensing the tension building. Elijah’s challenge was not something most would dare to put out, especially with an expensive car like the BMW M5 on the line.The old man scoffed, his pride flaring. "You think you can just walk in here and buy a car like that without any problem?" he sneered, clearly not expecting to be called out. "You don't know what you're talking about, kid.”The man only said that because even if Elijah wanted to buy a car, the money wouldn't be able to be transferred instantly as most would go through some financing works and to him he thought Elijah was only showing off.The old man scoffed, his pride flaring. "You think you can just walk in here and buy a car like that without any problem?" he sneered, clearly not expecting to be called out. "You don't know what you're talking about, kid.""Well," Elijah said, letting a slight smirk tug at the corners of his lips, "let’s

The crowd erupted in laughter, and the old man stormed out of the showroom, clearly fuming. Elijah turned back to the salesman, his smirk softening into a composed expression. “So, how much longer for the paperwork?” he asked smoothly, as if nothing had happened.The salesman adjusted his tie, clearly more respectful now after witnessing Elijah’s seamless transaction. “It’ll take about 20 more minutes to finalize everything,” he said, a polite smile replacing the earlier doubt in his eyes.“Take your time,” Elijah replied calmly, stepping aside to let them work.The staff moved quickly, organizing paperwork and confirming the transfer. When everything was ready, the salesman handed Elijah the final documents, including the keys to the BMW M5. “Congratulations, sir. Everything is complete,” he said, offering a firm handshake.Elijah accepted it with a small nod.The salesman hesitated for a moment before introducing himself. “My name is Jacob Foster. I must say, Mr. Westbrook, you’ve

Meanwhile, Sophia was lounging on her bed, scrolling through her phone lazily when a notification popped up. Her eyes darted to the screen, and a wide grin spread across her face as she saw the bank alert."Credit Alert: $20,000."Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but laugh softly. It was the money Damian had promised her. Just as she was basking in the joy of the deposit, her phone began to ring. It was Damian.She answered, her tone light and playful. "Hello, Mr. Moneybags."Damian chuckled on the other end. "I just sent the money, baby. Did you get it?”"I did! Just saw the alert," she replied happily. "You’re the best. I’m going to treat myself nice today.""You see the blessings after sacking that guy?" Damian teased, his tone filled with mockery.Sophia chuckled, shaking her head. "I don’t even know where he is now. Probably walking around the streets, looking for a job or something."Damian burst into laughter. "Poor kid. Maybe he’ll find a place in a fast food jo

Some customers behind him gasped audibly, their murmurs filling the air."Did he just say $28,000?""Who even spends that on clothes in one trip?"Elijah reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened his banking app. Without batting an eye, he said, "Can you give me the account details? I’ll transfer it now."Brandon’s eyebrows rose. "Of course, sir. Let me pull that up for you." He handed Elijah a printed slip with the store’s payment information.As Elijah confidently tapped away on his phone, attempting to make the transfer, an unexpected message popped up: "Transaction declined: Daily spending limit exceeded."Elijah frowned, refreshing the app and trying again. The same message appeared. A wave of confusion and annoyance crept over him."That’s strange," he muttered under his breath, trying once more.The murmurs from the line behind him grew louder, their frustration mounting."What’s taking so long?" one woman asked loudly."This is ridiculous. Some of us have other

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.

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,

The director looked at Laura, her expression firm yet approving. "You'll resume the role of the assistant now, taking Sophia’s position. Train yourself well, and after a month, you’ll take the role as the head of the department."Laura's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-what?" she gasped, covering her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes.The entire office erupted in applause.Overwhelmed with emotion, Laura dropped to her knees in front of the director. "Thank you so much, ma’am! I won’t let you down!”The director gave a small nod before turning and walking back into her office, leaving the employees buzzing with excitement.Laura’s colleagues rushed to her, hugging and congratulating her."You did it, Laura! You exposed him and now look!""Head of department in a month? That’s insane!""You deserve it!"Laura couldn’t stop smiling, happiness radiating from her. At that moment, she felt an immense wave of gratitude—not just for the opportunity but for the one person who had encouraged
