Sierra blinked at him slowly, then narrowed her eyes in an exaggerated way.“Do I want to be cuddled?” she repeated dramatically, placing a hand on her chest. “After everything I just went through? After crying? After thinking I was about to lose my man to some mysterious ‘Mr. Westbrook’ caller?”She sniffed softly and climbed higher onto his lap, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.“I don’t want to be cuddled,” she said with a soft pout. “I want to be held like you’re never letting me go again. I want to feel like I’m your only girl in this whole wide world.”Her voice softened, though the drama was still there.“I want you to squeeze me until I forget I was even jealous. I want you to remind me why I fell in love with you. And if you ever say ‘do you want to be cuddled’ like it’s optional again, I’ll cry for real this time.”She rested her forehead against his and whispered,“So yes… cuddle me properly.”Elijah couldn’t help it — he laughed softly, shaking his head at her dra

Upstairs, Elijah didn’t look back. He climbed the staircase quietly and disappeared into his room, shutting the door behind him.At the same time, Sierra walked into the kitchen where Felix was picking up his plate of food. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.“Felix… I want to ask you a question. And I need you to be honest with me.”Felix looked at her, pausing mid-step. “Alright. Sure. What is it?”Sierra lowered her voice slightly. “Is there anything Elijah said about the shooting yesterday? Anything he suspects? Did he tell you anything at all that makes you think he’s actually in danger?”Felix already knew what he was going to say. His expression stayed neutral as he shook his head.“No,” he replied calmly. “I asked him too. He said he thinks it’s just something normal that happened. He hasn’t done anything, and there’s no one chasing him or anything like that. I think it’s just some random street issue. Things like that happen.”Sierra stared at him for a few seconds. “

Just as Elijah ended the call with Felix, there was a knock on his door.He looked toward it and asked, “Who is there?”“It’s me,” Sierra’s voice came softly from the other side.He didn’t respond immediately. A few seconds passed before the door slowly opened and Sierra stepped in. She closed it gently behind her and stood near the door, her hands clasped behind her back like someone unsure whether they were welcome.“Please,” she said quietly, “I’m done cooking. I want you to come and eat. Your meal is in the dining place.”Elijah said nothing. He simply looked at her for a moment, then back at his phone.Seeing no response, Sierra turned and walked out of the room.After a few seconds, Elijah stood up. He stretched slightly, then went to the bathroom sink and rinsed his mouth. He stared at his reflection briefly before stepping out and heading toward the dining area.In the dining room, the table was neatly set. Two plates were placed across from each other. One clearly arranged fo

As Elijah walked away, Sierra stood there for a moment, tears slipping down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them with the back of her hand and lowered her head. “Sorry…” she muttered softly to herself, knowing he was already gone upstairs.Inside the bedroom, Elijah shut the door firmly behind him. He didn’t sit. He didn’t pace. He simply pulled out his phone and dialed Felix.Felix picked up almost immediately. “Yeah?”“Do we have the footage?” Elijah asked straight to the point.“Yes,” Felix replied. “We’ve accessed them. Still reviewing everything carefully.”Elijah nodded slightly even though Felix couldn’t see him. “The police were here.”There was a brief pause on the line. “What?”“She reported it,” Elijah said coldly. “They’ve already collected the location.”Felix exhaled. “That complicates things.”“It does,” Elijah replied. “Listen carefully. Tell Phantom to copy all the footage first. Everything. Make duplicates.”“Done,” Felix said.“And then clear the recording from that n

Inspector Amanda Doyle’s eyes shifted toward the black sedan parked behind Elijah. “Mr. Westbrook… is that your car?” she asked.Elijah nodded calmly. “Yes. I just bought it. My other car is damaged.”Sierra’s head turned sharply toward him. He bought another car? Just like that? She stared at the vehicle again, trying to process it.The two male officers stepped closer, curiosity replacing tension. One of them leaned slightly forward. “Is that the latest 2026 S-Class Guard that was just announced?” he asked.Elijah nodded. “That’s right. The 2026 S-Class Guard.”The officer let out a low whistle. “Damn… driving a 2026 car in 2025 already. I saw online it costs more than seven hundred thousand dollars, doesn’t it?”Elijah gave a faint smile. “That’s right.”The shock was visible on their faces. Even Sierra looked at him differently now. She hadn’t expected something like this.Amanda’s expression sharpened slightly. “Are you financing the car?” she asked.Elijah shook his head. “No. F

After everything was finalized, Clara personally handed Elijah the completed documents.Ownership papers.Registration.Security clearance documents.He reviewed them briefly, folded them neatly, and slipped them into the leather folder provided.Without unnecessary words, he walked toward his new car.The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard waited under the sunlight, dark and commanding.He opened the heavy driver’s door this time.Sat inside.The outside world muted instantly.He started the engine.The refined, powerful hum drew attention immediately.As he eased the car out of the showroom lane and onto the main street, heads began turning.Pedestrians slowed down.Some people stopped walking entirely.“Is that the new S-Class Guard?!”Phones came out instantly.Car spotters on the sidewalk lit up.“Yo! Yo! That’s the Guard model!”“Bro that’s a million-dollar spec!”Cameras pointed and videos started rolling.One guy jogged alongside briefly, filming.The black armored sedan glided smoot
