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.

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

"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

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

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

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

"I... I..." Celestine stammered, her voice barely above a whisper."I what?" Elijah pressed, his gaze locked on hers, waiting.Celestine swallowed hard, finally exhaling. "I don't know what's wrong with me," she admitted. "Ever since that night... I keep thinking about it. About you. It doesn't make sense."Elijah's eyes darkened slightly with intrigue. "Thinking about me? How?"Celestine shifted under his intense gaze. "I just... I don’t understand it. I try to push it away, but it keeps coming back. And it’s frustrating." She took a deep breath. "I have my life figured out, Elijah. I don’t need distractions.”Elijah raised a brow, a smirk playing on his lips. "What did I do that I'm a distraction?"Celestine exhaled sharply. "You touched me that day, kept touching me, drawing me close... It was like a grade-one romance."Elijah's smirk deepened. "First time?"Celestine hesitated before nodding slightly, admitting the truth.Elijah tilted his head. "Didn't you just say you have a fia

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
