Sierra’s head shot up, eyes wide as she turned to look at Elijah, silently wondering if he was about to tell her mom about the Chris situation.Elijah met her gaze, reading the silent plea in her eyes, but instead of mentioning anything, he smirked and leaned against the counter. “Oh, I was talking about her performance last night,” he said smoothly. “She was supposed to rest, but instead, she’s up and cooking.”Sierra let out a breath of relief, but she still gave him a small glare for scaring her like that.Mrs. Lane chuckled. “Ah, I see. That does sound like my Sierra.”Mrs. Lane’s tone softened, turning serious. “Elijah, I need to ask you something.”Elijah straightened. “Go ahead, Mom.”“Please… protect Sierra for me,” she said, her voice laced with emotion. “She’s my only child. I know she’s stubborn and doesn’t always think things through, but she has a good heart. I won’t be there to watch over her, and it scares me. I need to know she’s safe.”Sierra’s breath hitched slightly

Betty was fast asleep on the bed, curled up under her blanket, when her phone suddenly rang. Groggily, she reached for it, blinking at the screen before answering. "Sierra? Sierra, how are you? Oh my sister, are you fine?" Betty’s voice was laced with concern, immediately shaking off her sleepiness. A soft chuckle came from the other end. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Sierra assured her. Betty sighed in relief. "When Elijah texted yesterday that you were fine, I wanted to speak with you, but he said he was out getting medication, and I shouldn’t worry you while you were being treated.” "Yes, I was receiving treatment," Sierra confirmed. "My phone is even damaged—all cracked and everything. I'll change it today." "Are you coming home?" Betty asked, sitting up now. "Not yet. I have other things to do, so I might be with Elijah for a while." "Alright. So what about that idiot Chris? What happened to him?" she asked, irritation creeping into her voice. "I can't tell for sure, but I think E

Elijah nodded, running a hand through his hair as he exhaled. “You’re right… forgive me.”He reached out, gently taking her hands in his. His touch was warm, steady—different from the intensity from moments ago. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice softer now. “It won’t happen again, alright?”Sierra looked at him, feeling a strange mix of emotions. There was guilt in his eyes, and somehow, that made her feel guilty too. She swallowed, nodding. “Alright.”She pulled her hands back, standing up. “The food is ready. Let’s go eat.”Elijah gave a small nod, watching her for a second before finally getting up to follow her.They walked to the dining hall in silence, the tension from earlier still lingering in the air.Sierra pulled out a chair. “Sit,” she said, her voice neutral.Elijah sat down, watching her as she moved around the dining table. She soon returned with the plates of food, carefully placing them in front of him. The rich aroma of the stew filled the space, making it clear she ha

"Oh, I felt it would be good for you to be with Elijah throughout the week, at least to help you relax and all," Betty said with a sly smile. "I’ll take care of the house nicely for you."Elijah, who was still eating, didn’t even lift his head. He acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.Sierra turned to Betty with wide eyes. "You… ah, stay for a week as how?"Betty shrugged casually. "Just like that. You clearly need a break. I mean, look at you—after everything that happened, you deserve to rest, and Elijah is rich and capable, so why not?”Sierra scoffed. "Betty, please, what kind of idea is that? I didn’t say I was moving in. I just needed some clothes for today!"Betty rolled her eyes. "Oh please, Sierra. You’re always acting like you don’t like what’s good. What’s even wrong with staying here for a few more days?"Elijah finally exhaled, set his fork down, and looked up. "Please, can I have a little bit of peace?”Elijah looked at both of them, shaking his head slightly before turni

Soon, both of them stepped out of their rooms, ready for the day.Elijah emerged first, dressed in a fitted black t-shirt and a pair of trousers that complemented his frame perfectly. His short dark hair was neatly styled, and the scent of his cologne filled the air—a rich, masculine fragrance that made his presence even more commanding. His wristwatch glinted as he casually adjusted it, looking effortlessly good without even trying.A moment later, Sierra stepped out, dressed in a chic yet comfortable outfit. She wore a soft beige blouse that draped elegantly over her figure, paired with high-waisted jeans that accentuated her curves. Her hair was neatly styled, falling effortlessly over her shoulders, and her minimal makeup highlighted her natural beauty. She had a subtle floral scent that mixed pleasantly with Elijah’s cologne, creating a soft yet captivating blend in the air.Elijah turned to look at her, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe. "You look nice," he remarked ca

As he walked in, several employees greeted him respectfully."Good morning, Mr. Damian.""Morning, sir."He gave a brief nod in response but didn’t slow his stride. His presence alone commanded attention, and even those who weren’t directly greeting him subtly straightened their posture.Inside, the office was fully active, with employees focused on their work. Unaware of what had been planted in his office earlier, Damian pushed open the door to his workspace and stepped inside, ready to begin his day.Soon, Sophia arrived at the company, dressed beautifully, her makeup flawless and her outfit perfectly tailored to highlight her elegance. As she walked in, heads turned, and murmurs spread among the employees."Sophia, you went to the Dominion event, right?" one of them asked, hoping for some inside details."Yeah, tell us about it. We saw clips on TV!" another chimed in.But Sophia ignored them, walking past without acknowledging their curiosity. Instead, she made her way toward Dam

Damian chuckled, getting up from his chair again and walking toward her. “What could possibly go wrong?” He tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with amusement.Laura glanced away, as if unsure. “I don’t know… things like this can get messy. And if the boss finds out—”“Tch.” Damian scoffed. “She won’t. I have everything under control.” He took another step closer, lowering his voice. “Laura, all you have to do is listen to me, and I promise things will get better for you here. You don’t have to struggle like the others.”She forced a small, hesitant nod. “I… I’ll think about it.”Damian grinned, clearly pleased. “That’s all I ask. Take your time.”Laura nodded again before finally turning and walking out of his office, her heart steady but her mind racing. She had planted the seed—now it was only a matter of time before Damian dug his own grave.As Laura turned to leave, Damian suddenly reached out and slapped her ass, his fingers lingering as he tried to pull her closer."Sir!" Laura

At the same time, Laura sat at her desk, pretending to be focused on her work, but her mind was elsewhere. She was just waiting for the best opportunity to slip into Damian’s office and retrieve the hidden camera.She stole quick glances at the office door, hoping for a moment when Damian would step out or be too distracted to notice her. The last thing she wanted was to raise any suspicion.Every second that passed felt longer, but she knew she had to be patient. The camera had already recorded crucial evidence—now, all she needed was a perfect chance to retrieve it without getting caught.As soon as Damian stepped out of his office and headed toward the washroom, Laura knew this was her chance. She quickly grabbed a few files, pretending to have an errand, and made her way toward his office.Just as she reached the door, however, Sophia suddenly stepped in front of her, arms crossed, looking at her suspiciously."And where do you think you're going?" Sophia asked, tilting her head s

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
