The waiters moved efficiently, setting down beautifully packaged meals before Celestine, her bodyguard, and Elijah. The aroma of the gourmet dishes filled the air, making the meal all the more inviting.Celestine unwrapped her meal, taking a bite before glancing at Elijah. “Do you like it?” she asked casually.Elijah, who was already chewing, nodded with satisfaction. “Oh yes, I’m really enjoying this.”Celestine smirked and returned to her meal. As she ate, a bit of sauce unknowingly stained her lips. She didn’t notice, but Elijah did. Without thinking much, he picked up a tissue, leaned slightly toward her, and said, “Here, there are some stains around your lips.”“Where?” Celestine asked, bringing her fingers up to wipe, but she couldn’t find the exact spot.Elijah watched her struggle for a moment before saying, “Let me help you.”Before she could protest, he reached out and gently wiped his finger around her lip.Gasp!For a moment, time seemed to pause. As Elijah’s finger brush

Sophia scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically. “Damages I caused?” She let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Oh please, Elijah. That whole situation was Sierra’s fault, not mine. But of course, you’d defend her.”She folded her arms, looking him up and down before smirking. “Isn’t she your girlfriend? You’re looking good now, all dressed up. I’m sure it’s because of her, right? She just made a hundred thousand dollars tonight, so of course, she’ll give you some.” Her voice turned mocking. “Her good-for-nothing boyfriend. So, this isn’t even a big deal for you. Quickly refund me, Elijah.”Elijah’s jaw clenched at her words, his patience on the verge of snapping.Elijah’s expression darkened, his patience completely gone. He took a threatening step closer to Sophia, his voice low but firm. “Listen to me carefully, Sophia. I don’t owe you a damn thing. And if you ever try to pull this nonsense again, you’ll regret it.” His eyes burned with warning. “Stay out of my way.”Sophia scoffed, about to

Daniel’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as his father spoke, feeling proud that Lawrence was openly advocating for him.Sierra, on the other hand, felt an immediate wave of irritation. She kept her composure, though, and simply said, “I’ll see about that, Mr. Everhart. Thank you.” Without another word, she turned and walked away, her mind already focused on the next person she truly wanted to meet—Celestine Valencia.Celestine had long been a role model for many women, especially those aspiring to be successful in business. Now that Sierra had gained recognition, approaching her seemed like the perfect opportunity. Since the security personnel were already familiar with her, none of them stopped her as she proceeded toward Celestine’s section.Meanwhile, as Sierra walked away, Lawrence turned to Daniel with an approving nod. “She has class, confidence, and she’s smart. A woman like that? You don’t just admire her—you go after her and make her yours.”Daniel smirked as he watched

Celestine's eyes widened in shock, her brow furrowing as if she hadn't heard correctly. "What did you say?"Elijah slipped the money into his pocket, stepping a little closer. "I said, what if I want you?"Celestine's expression hardened. "Do you realize who you're speaking to? Or are you taking advantage of my kindness?"Elijah's gaze held hers steadily. "I know exactly who I'm speaking to—a powerful, captivating woman. And perhaps it's your kindness that's taking advantage of me." "What are you talking about?" Celestine asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.Just then, Elijah grabbed her with one hand, pulling her close. Their bodies pressed together, and he could feel the softness of her form against him."You… you—what are you trying to do?" Celestine stammered, her breath hitching. "I'll call security if you misbehave," she warned, though there was an unsteadiness in her voice.”Elijah smiled lightly, lowering his head slightly as he inhaled her scent. "You smell good," he murm

As Sierra and Betty strolled through the venue, reconnecting after mingling separately, Sierra clutched her bag when Chris approached them."Hi, Sierra," Chris greeted warmly, surprising her with a light hug.Feeling a bit uneasy, Sierra managed a smile. "Hello, Chris.""I have to say, you look stunning tonight," Chris complimented, his eyes reflecting genuine admiration. "And your performance was incredible.""Thank you," Sierra replied, appreciating his kind words."Also, thanks for the invitation," Chris continued. "I'll make sure to reimburse you for the ticket."Sierra shook her head gently. "There's no need for that, Chris. I'm just glad you could make it."Turning his attention to Betty, Chris inquired, "And this is?"Sierra introduced them, "Chris, this is my best friend and sister, Betty."Chris extended his hand toward Betty. "Hello, Betty. I'm Chris."Betty accepted his handshake with a warm smile. "Nice to meet you, Chris.""So, did you bring a car or anything?" Chris aske

As Chris got back into the car, Sierra glanced at him with a slight frown. **“Is everything alright?”** she asked. Chris flashed her a quick smile. **“Yes, yes, everything’s fine.”** He started the car and continued driving as if nothing had happened. Within five minutes, they approached the ice cream center. Sierra relaxed slightly, expecting him to pull over, but to her surprise, he didn’t stop. Instead, he kept driving past it without a word. Her brows furrowed in confusion. **“Why didn’t you stop? We’ve arrived at the ice cream center.”** She turned to look at him, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on the road. Sierra’s heartbeat quickened. **“Chris?”** she called, watching his expression. Nothing. Her voice grew more urgent. **“Chris? Chris!”** Suddenly, he snapped. **“Shut up!”** he yelled, his voice sharp and aggressive. Sierra’s breath hitched, panic instantly gripping her.Sierra’s pulse raced as she stared at Chris, her chest tightening with unease. “What’

Sierra's pulse pounded as desperation took over. Without thinking, she lunged forward, gripping the steering wheel with one hand and grabbing Chris's arm with the other, jerking it violently.The car swerved dangerously, tires screeching against the asphalt.“Hey! What the hell are you doing?!” Chris yelled, struggling to regain control.But Sierra refused to let go. She clung to him, twisting his arm and yanking at the wheel in a frantic attempt to stop him.Chris growled, fighting against her grip, his other hand shoving at her. “Let go, damn it!”The vehicle skidded sharply to the side, nearly tipping as it veered off course. Chris gritted his teeth, forcefully shoving Sierra away with all his strength. She lost her grip, and he immediately slammed his foot on the brake.The car jerked to a sudden stop.Before Sierra could react, a stinging slap cracked across her face.SMACK!Her head snapped to the side, slamming against the door. A sharp pain shot through her skull as her vision

His cold, sharp eyes locked onto Elijah's calm, unwavering face.There was a moment of chilling silence, the sound of the dogs barking faintly behind them filling the heavy air.Phantom frowned slightly, as if assessing Elijah from head to toe.The blood-stained singlet on his chest stuck awkwardly to his skin, his muscles tense, the brutal energy he carried unmistakable.Yet before him stood Elijah — unflinching, arms slightly loose at his sides, his expression unreadable, almost casual.Phantom dropped the stick to the ground with a loud thud, wiped his hands slowly on a dirty cloth nearby, and took two slow steps closer, the tension thickening with every move.Phantom stared at Elijah for a long moment before a twisted smile curved on his lips.He opened his arms wide slightly and said in a low, taunting tone,"Elijah Westbrook... welcome."Elijah remained calm, his sharp gaze surveying the room again — the cages, the brutal scene behind Phantom, the men standing like loyal wolves

The scarred man gritted his teeth furiously but stayed in place, glaring at Elijah with burning hatred, breathing heavily as if restraining himself.Elijah stood there, unbothered, a light smirk still on his face. His calmness only made them more unsettled."Tch," Elijah muttered, shifting his weight slightly on his heel, still relaxed. "If this is the best Phantom Reiss has, then maybe I should be disappointed already."The group stiffened hearing Elijah mention Phantom Reiss so casually.One of the rough-looking men stepped forward, pointing a thick finger at Elijah and barking, "How dare you mention boss's name with your filthy mouth?"Another, gripping a rusted pipe in his hand, spat on the ground and said angrily, "Let’s just beat him bloody here and now!" His voice was thick with rage.But immediately, one of the older, slightly smarter men grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly."No! Are you dumb?" he snapped. "Boss said bring him, not break him here. If we mess him u

As Elijah drove further, he suddenly spotted a small open area along the road—a place wide enough to pull off without causing suspicion.Without hesitation, he turned the steering, brought the Prado smoothly to a halt, killed the engine, and stepped out casually, leaving the driver’s door open.The man following him, surprised, immediately slowed down too, stopping a few meters behind, unsure what was happening.From inside his car, he watched Elijah.At first, he thought maybe Elijah was checking something on his car... but when he saw Elijah closing the door slowly and beginning to walk toward him—directly—his heart skipped a beat."Shit," the man muttered under his breath, quickly adjusting himself in the driver’s seat.He frowned hard, panic creeping in."Am I exposed? How? Was he monitoring me the whole time?"He kept his hand ready on the ignition, debating whether to drive off, but Elijah’s calm yet intimidating pace made it clear:Running might make it worse.Elijah's gaze was

“Elijah Westbrook?”“Yes. He just came out of a flower store by East Ridge Avenue, entered a black Prado. He’s with another man—probably a close aide or driver. They’re still parked.”“Good. Stay on him. We'll come there quickly.”The call ended. The man’s fingers moved swiftly over his phone screen, snapping a picture of the car and sending it in a flash.Elijah carefully opened the back door of the Prado and placed the beautifully wrapped bouquet—white and red roses mixed with some fresh lilies—gently onto the back seat. He closed the door quietly and glanced up at the sky; it was already getting darker, with the thick clouds hinting that rain could fall again soon.He checked the time on the car dashboard — 4:30 pm, almost brushing 5 pm. The day had moved faster than he expected.Without wasting time, he got into the driver’s seat, buckled up, and started the engine with a soft hum. Felix, who had been quietly scrolling on his phone, looked up and nodded as Elijah began driving out

Betty glanced at Sierra and suggested, “What about some jewelry? Like a nice chain or bracelet? Might look good on him.”Sierra shook her head gently. “I’ve not really seen Elijah wear those kinds of things. He’s more of the simple and classy type. I think these are enough.”“Alright then,” Betty nodded with a grin. “Still, what you’ve picked is solid.”With that, the two of them continued walking toward the mall’s main payment counter, their hands filled with stylish branded bags and other goods.On the other side of the floor, Sophia had also gathered a few items—less than Sierra but still noticeable. She began walking in the same direction, unaware of who else might be headed there. Her heels clicked lightly as she adjusted her purse and made her way to the counter to process her payment.As Sierra walked forward toward the main counter, her steps slowed slightly. Her eyes locked onto a familiar figure just a few meters ahead which was Sophia“That lady?” she murmured to herself, e

"I know I've wronged you, Elijah," he said, his voice cracking as desperation bled into his tone. "Please… please help me get out of here. I beg you."Elijah didn’t flinch. He held Damian’s gaze, his face unreadable—until, suddenly, he broke into laughter. Cold, mocking laughter that echoed off the walls of the grimy cell block."Help you?" Elijah chuckled, stepping closer. "Damian… why would I save you… from the very place I personally put you in?"Damian’s eyes widened, his lips parting in shock. "W-What? What do you mean… by where you brought me?" he stammered.Elijah’s smile was calm, sharp. "That’s right," he said smoothly. "Everything… every step that led you here—it was all part of my plan. You see, I knew what you were doing. I watched you ruin others, abuse your power, lie, manipulate. You thought nobody saw, didn’t you? But I did. And I waited. Waited till the right moment to crush you under the very weight of your own sins.”Damian stumbled back a step, gripping the bars ti

As they stepped out of the office, Elijah’s eyes caught Felix already standing across the hallway with his arms crossed, waiting alertly.Upon seeing Elijah approach, Felix immediately straightened up.Elijah stopped in front of him. “I’m giving you a task,” he said firmly. “You’ll make sure this whole place—everything inside—is transformed in a week. Hire the best interior designers or whoever you need. Every single material in this station must be replaced. Floors, walls, chairs, desks—everything. It should look brand new and high quality. And if you need more money, let me know.”Felix nodded instantly. “Sure, brother. I’ll do so. You can count on me.”Elijah gave him a quick nod and turned, continuing his walk with Dorson by his side. Felix followed closely behind.They soon reached the side of the building where the other policemen were stationed. The officer who had escorted Elijah earlier was there too. As they saw their superior, Superintendent Dorson, all the policemen stood

As Elijah sat silently, staring at his phone screen while it rang, Superintendent Dorson chuckled mockingly and leaned back in his chair, clearly thinking he had the upper hand.“Now you’re quiet, huh?” Dorson smirked. “Thought so. Must be regretting that chairman story. You young people and your jokes—next thing you’ll say is you own half the city. Don’t worry, I won’t lock you up… yet.”He laughed again, smugly folding his arms. “You looked so confident before, now you look like someone who just realized he’s out of his depth.”Just then, Elijah’s phone screen lit up—Isla had picked up the video call.Her face came into view, seated at her sleek desk, her glasses perched delicately on her nose. Behind her, the Dominion Group’s logo gleamed brightly on the wall.“Yes, Master Elijah?” she said calmly, clearly on speaker as her voice echoed faintly through the phone.Dorson’s laughter froze midsentence. His eyes widened, brows furrowing in confusion as he leaned forward, staring at the

Dorson’s jaw tightened slightly at Elijah’s composed boldness, and the air between them grew heavier.Superintendent Dorson narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what exactly did you come here to discuss?”Elijah leaned back slightly in the chair and replied, “Before we get into that…” He paused and let his eyes drift slowly around the room. His voice was calm, but edged with quiet criticism. “When I walked in here, I saw how bad this place looks. It shouldn’t be this way—for a whole police station, with your name and rank tied to it.”Dorson raised a brow, watching him.Elijah continued, “The paint on the walls is peeling like it hasn’t been touched in years. The hallway smells like damp papers and sweat. I passed broken ceiling tiles, exposed wires near the light switch. Some of your officers looked like they haven’t had new uniforms since 2010. Even the floor tiles in the corridor were cracked. Superintendent, you’re a big man—this shouldn’t be your standard.”Dorson’s face tightened s
