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. The sleek midnight black exterior gleamed under the soft lighting of

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

The corner of Elijah’s lips lifted into a smirk. “Teasing you is so satisfying, boss.” Celestine sighed, shaking her head. “I don’t even know why I met you. I shouldn’t have. You’re always giving me one or two problems.” She exhaled deeply before looking at him again. “Are you available tomorrow?” “What time?” Elijah asked. “10 a.m. I have a meeting I want you to attend. I already told you about it yesterday,” Celestine reminded him. Elijah nodded. “I remember. Where exactly?” “Come here before 10, then we leave,” she said simply. “Alright, no problem then.” Elijah stretched slightly. “If that’s all, I’ll leave.” Celestine studied him for a moment before asking, “Do you want to eat anything?” “Anything like?” Elijah tilted his head. Celestine placed a call, and within moments, the chef walked over. “Madam,” the chef greeted respectfully. “What did you make tonight?” Celestine asked. The chef listed the dishes prepared, adding, “I just finished and was about to inform you.”

Soon, the black Toyota Prado rolled up to the grand gates of the Valencia estate. The security stationed at the entrance got up holding his gun. One of the guards stepped forward, took a brief glance at the driver’s seat, and upon seeing Elijah behind the wheel, he gave a slight nod and signaled to the others.Without delay, the gates slowly parted open.The guard waved them through respectfully. “Welcome, sir.”Elijah gave a short nod in return and drove inside, the Prado gliding smoothly along the paved driveway. Felix, seated beside him, looked around quietly, taking in the environment with awe.Elijah reached for his phone, unlocked it with a quick swipe, and tapped into his messages. He typed a short text to Celestine:“I’m here.”He hit send and leaned back slightly in his seat, glancing at the entrance of the house with his usual composed look. Felix sat up straight beside him, adjusting his shirt and looking around curiously, still impressed by the luxury surrounding them.Soo

Isla smiled lightly and replied, “Yes, I did. And I’ve already arranged for our field team to go around and verify the current state of each orphanage. They’ll bring back updated feedback before we proceed.”Elijah nodded in approval. “Alright,” he said, then went back to reviewing the list carefully until he got to the end. He set the tablet down. “So currently I’m supposed to add my own million dollars, right?”Isla nodded respectfully. “Yes, young master.”Elijah leaned back slightly. “Alright. I’ll transfer a million dollars into the company account tonight.”“When are you planning to begin the donation runs?” he asked.“It will be on Thursday, master,” Isla responded.Elijah nodded again. “Alright then. I think I’ll soon have a meeting with the board members here.”“The board?” Isla’s eyes widened slightly. “You’re finally going to reveal your identity?”Elijah smirked faintly. “Depends. I can’t tell yet. I’ll know soon.”Isla simply bowed her head a little. “Alright then, master

As Elijah walked out of the room, he headed down the hallway only to find Felix already awake, standing by the stairway in a loose shirt and shorts, rubbing sleep from his eyes.“Morning, boss,” Felix greeted with a small smile. “You got anything I can help you with today?”Elijah shook his head lightly. “Nah, not today. I’m just getting ready to head out—got some meetings and work stuff to handle in town.”Felix hesitated for a moment, then said, “Can I come with you?”Elijah raised an eyebrow slightly. “You want to come along?”“Yeah,” Felix nodded. “I don’t really want to just sit around the house all day. Plus… it’ll help me know more, you know? Learn stuff.”Elijah looked at him for a second, then gave a small nod. “Alright then,” he said. “Go get yourself ready.”Felix grinned. “Yes, boss,” he said quickly before turning and heading back to his room.About half an hour later, Elijah came down the stairs dressed sharply in a designer outfit. Felix followed shortly after, looking

It was pretty late, Felix got up and stretched, yawning as he glanced at the time. "Goodnight," he muttered before heading upstairs to his room to sleep.Elijah remained downstairs, seated on the couch with his laptop open and his phone beside him, busy responding to emails and reviewing some documents. The soft tapping of rain outside continued, steady and rhythmic. Sierra stood up and moved around the living room, closing all the windows and carefully pulling the curtains shut to cover the glass panes.“It’s still raining,” she said softly as she secured the last window.Elijah glanced at the time. It was already minutes past 11 p.m. He shut his laptop and placed it aside, picking up the remote to turn off the TV.“Might rain till tomorrow or stop around midnight. Anyway, it’s late,” he said, getting to his feet.“Let’s go.”Sierra nodded, adjusting her clothes a bit as they both walked toward the staircase.When they got upstairs, Sierra instinctively moved toward the guest room sh

Just then, Nathaniel’s phone buzzed again—a message notification. He tapped it open, and there it was: a clear image of Elijah Westbrook’s license photo attached to the car registration.His eyes narrowed instantly.It was him. No mistake. The same man who had humiliated him that night—dismantled his plans, ruined his pitch in front of everyone, and walked away like it meant nothing.Nathaniel stared at the picture for a few long seconds, his jaw clenched, fingers tightening around his phone. The rain picked up, dripping onto the screen, but he didn’t move.He swiped the rain off his screen, his lips curling ever so slightly. “So it’s really you,” he muttered, a dangerous glint in his eyes.His jaw tightened as thoughts swirled in his mind.“Could he be part of the Valencia family?” he murmured to himself. It would explain how he was sitting at the same VIP table with Celestine, talking business like an insider. But then Nathaniel frowned.“Westbrook…” he muttered. “Different surname.

Soon, Elijah arrived home. The rain was falling properly now, steady and rhythmic. He parked his car, stepped out into the wet evening, and made his way to the door. Pressing the bell, he waited a second before the door opened to reveal Sierra.She stood in a neat skirt and a soft-fitting top, her hair loosely pinned, her presence warm and welcoming. She smiled and hugged him lightly, saying, “Welcome.”Elijah nodded, stepping inside as she closed the door behind him.As he walked into the living room, he spotted Felix seated comfortably, watching the television. Upon seeing Elijah, Felix immediately stood up, straightening himself.“Good evening, brother!” he greeted respectfully.Elijah gave a nod. “Sit down,” he said casually, then turned to Sierra. “Did you do your live?”Sierra nodded, brushing her hair behind her ear. “Oh yes, I actually ended it not long ago. It was right after that I called you.”“Alright,” Elijah replied. “I’ll be back. Let me change my clothes.”“Okay,” Sier

Inside, Sierra was curled up on the couch, watching a movie when the doorbell rang. She reached for the remote and switched the screen to the security feed, immediately spotting Felix outside.Her expression shifted slightly before she stood up, smoothing down her skirt and walking to the door. With a quiet breath, she unlocked it and pulled it open.Felix had been about to call out "Brother" when his gaze landed on Sierra. He froze, clearly not expecting to see her here again. But within seconds, he masked his surprise with a polite smile."Good evening," he said smoothly.Sierra gave a small nod before stepping aside to let him in. She closed the door behind him, watching as he glanced around briefly before turning back to her."Is boss around?" Felix asked respectfully. He had no doubt that Sierra was Elijah’s woman, so he made sure to address her with the proper deference."No," Sierra replied. "He went out for a meeting, but he’ll be back soon."Felix nodded, moving towards the c
