As she tried again, the same automated response played: “The number you have dialed is not reachable at the moment.” Betty groaned in frustration, gripping her phone tightly. Could it be that Sierra’s battery had run out? She hoped that was the case, but something about it didn’t sit right with her. Sierra would’ve at least borrowed Chris’s phone to text or call if her phone had died—wouldn’t she? She sighed, running a hand through her hair. “I should have taken Chris’s contact,” she muttered to herself. Now, she had no way of reaching either of them. Betty leaned back on the couch, forcing herself to stay calm. “Let me wait for a little while,” she mumbled. Maybe Sierra would call soon. Maybe she was just busy. But deep down, an unsettling feeling had already started creeping in. About fifteen minutes later, Betty was still waiting, but there was still nothing—no call, no text, no sign of Sierra. Her fingers tapped anxiously against her phone as she stared at the screen, debatin

As the car sped down the road, Elijah sat in the front seat, his jaw clenched tightly. His fingers tapped against his knee in a restless rhythm, his entire body radiating tension. A dark storm brewed in his eyes, and his mind raced with thoughts of Sierra—where she was, what was happening to her, and the man responsible for it.His grip tightened into a fist. The mere thought of Chris touching Sierra made his blood boil. His muscles coiled with barely restrained fury, his entire being consumed with a singular, violent desire—to get his hands on Chris and slice him into pieces.His patience snapped. "Drive faster," he ordered sharply, his voice dangerously low.The bodyguard behind the wheel immediately pressed harder on the gas, weaving through traffic with precision.Elijah exhaled harshly, his fingers digging into his palm. He swore to himself—if anything happened to Sierra, there would be no place on earth where Chris could hide.Soon, they arrived at the place, and the ice cream c

They kept watching the footage closely, scanning every second for any sign of Sierra inside the store. But nothing. She never entered.Elijah’s frustration grew. His sharp eyes remained locked onto the screen as the footage played.Then, suddenly—"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Elijah ordered.The manager quickly paused the video."Rewind," Elijah said firmly.The footage was rewound a few seconds back."Zoom in.”The manager followed the command, and as the image enlarged, Elijah's sharp gaze locked onto a vehicle that had just passed by on the street. His body tensed instantly.That car.It wasn’t parked. It didn’t stop. It was only caught briefly as it moved past, but Elijah recognized it immediately.His fingers curled into fists."That’s Chris’s car," he said coldly, pointing at the screen. "I saw it that night. I still remember."The others stared at the blurry image. Since the car was at a distance, the footage wasn’t entirely clear.Elijah turned to the manager. "Is there any camera that

His gaze flickered to Elijah, who stood there staring at the phone, his jaw clenched. The air around them grew heavier, the realization sinking deeper. Elijah stood frozen, staring at Sierra’s phone in his hand. A whirlwind of emotions swirled inside him—anger, frustration, and something else he refused to acknowledge. His fingers tightened around the cracked device, his jaw clenching as he fought to stay composed.How did her phone end up here?His mind raced through the possibilities. Did she throw it? That could mean she was trying to send a message, trying to get rid of it before something worse happened.Or… did it fall during a struggle? If that was the case, it meant she fought back. That thought made his blood boil.Or worse—was she trying to call for help when they stopped here? And if she was, why was the phone still intact but left behind?His grip on the device shook slightly. His chest tightened at the thought of what she might be going through at this very moment.His v

Sierra looked at him with anger in her weak eyes but didn’t say anything.Chris nodded, satisfied. "I take it as you understand what I just said."With that, he pulled out his phone and dialed Betty’s number.Meanwhile, Betty sat in the back of the Uber, her leg bouncing anxiously as she stared out at the road. Her mind raced with worry, her fingers gripping her phone tightly. Just then, her phone screen lit up with an incoming call from an unknown number.She quickly answered, bringing the phone to her ear. "Hello?" she said in a low voice."Hello, Betty. Chris here," came a calm voice from the other end.A shiver ran down Betty’s spine, and she quickly straightened up in her seat. "Chris? Chris? Where’s Sierra? Where is she?" she asked, her voice rising in panic."Oh, seems you’re worried," Chris said smoothly. "Don’t worry, she’s here. Do you want to speak to her?"Betty gulped. She was about to lash out, to accuse him of kidnapping Sierra and threaten him, but the moment Chris off

Elijah stared at the number, wondering what he could do with it. He needed more than just a contact—he needed a way to locate Chris immediately.Just then, his phone buzzed. Isla was calling.He answered instantly. "Have you gotten any information yet?" he asked urgently."Yes, master," Isla responded. "I found it. The car is a 2024 Hyundai Elantra, license plate—" she rattled off the numbers. "But the registered name on the plate isn’t Chris. It’s under someone else’s name."Elijah’s jaw clenched. "So the car doesn’t even belong to him?”"No, master. After a deep search, I found that the vehicle is from a rental company here in New Ember City.""A rental company?" Elijah gritted his teeth. That meant Chris was only borrowing a car to carry out whatever twisted plan he had.He nodded to himself. "Alright, can you help me track a number? I need to know where they’re heading.""I can try," Isla said. "I'll put a call through to someone in your dad’s company who specializes in that. But

Instantly, the digital map updated, revealing a moving arrow, tracing Chris’s exact position in real-time. The car was heading northwest, weaving through the streets of New Ember City."Got him," the man murmured, his fingers swiftly typing as he zoomed in on the details. The tracking system displayed the speed of the vehicle, the street names shifting as Chris moved closer to his destination.The man swiftly transferred the location data to Isla, who immediately forwarded it to Elijah.Elijah's phone buzzed, and he quickly checked the screen. A small smirk formed on his face—he could now see Chris's exact location.“We have them,” he muttered, his grip tightening around the phone. Without wasting a second, he tapped a few buttons and mirrored the location onto the car’s built-in screen. A bright red dot marked Chris’s moving position, while their own vehicle was represented by a blue one.“They’re a bit far,” Elijah noted, eyes scanning the distance. “But now that we have the map…” H

As the towel dropped, Chris stood clad only in his boxers. He approached the bed, tapping Sierra's shoulder. "Look at me," he commanded.Summoning the last reserves of her strength, Sierra opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face. "Please," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Let me go. I won't tell anyone. Just... please."Chris's expression darkened, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he loomed over her, unmoved by her pleas."No, no," Chris murmured, shaking his head as if dismissing her pleas. He lifted her weak hand and pressed three slow kisses against her skin, his lips trailing along her wrist.A sick grin spread across his face as he reached for the zipper of her dress. "Imagine this—the whole new star, Sierra Lane, on my bed. Oh my God," he whispered, his fingers pulling the zipper down inch by inch.Chris slid the dress off her shoulders, letting it glide down her body until it pooled on the bed, leaving only the vest Sierra had underneath. His eyes darkened as he

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
