The assistant quickly snapped out of her shock and hurriedly retrieved a set of forms from a nearby drawer. "Mr. Steel, please fill these out to finalize the process," she said, her tone much more respectful now. Elijah nodded, took the forms, and began to fill them out with his usual calm demeanor. Robert and the assistant exchanged glances, still unable to fully process what had just happened. When Elijah finished, he handed the completed forms back to the assistant. She double-checked them, nodding in approval. “Everything’s perfect, Mr. Steel,” she said with a smile. Robert stepped forward with a small, elegant box. "Congratulations on your new villa, Mr. Steel," he said warmly, opening the box to reveal a set of sleek, modern keys and two automatic door cards. “These are your house keys and the door access cards,” Robert explained. “The cards are programmed to open all entry points in the villa, including the garage. If you need additional keys or cards for family or staff, ju

The master bedroom was a masterpiece in itself. It was spacious, with a king-sized bed positioned in the center, flanked by nightstands and elegant lamps. The windows stretched across one wall, offering an unobstructed view of the city. There was a walk-in closet filled with neatly organized shelves and drawers and an en-suite bathroom that rivaled a spa, complete with a Jacuzzi, rainfall shower, and double sinks set into marble countertops.“Not bad,” Elijah muttered, his expression calm, though inwardly, he was impressed.The staff beamed. “Shall I show you the rest of the villa, sir? There’s a home office, a private gym, and even a home theater.”“Go ahead,” Elijah replied, his curiosity piqued.As they moved through the villa, Elijah noted how everything was designed with a seamless blend of comfort and luxury. By the time they finished the tour and returned to the living room, he was convinced he’d made the right decision.The staff turned to him with a satisfied smile. “If there

Later that evening, Sierra Lane stood in front of her full-length mirror, her reflection nothing short of breathtaking. She wore a fitted wine-red highlighting her curves. The neckline was modest yet elegant, and the dress flowed down to just above her knees, revealing her toned legs. Her hair was styled in soft waves, cascading over her shoulders, while a pair of simple yet stunning silver earrings complemented her glowing complexion.Getting to the hall, her mother sat on the plush cream sofa, sipping tea and scrolling through her tablet.As Sierra walked in, her mother's eyes shifted up—and immediately widened in astonishment. She placed the cup of tea down and set her tablet aside, her gaze locking on Sierra."My goodness, Sierra," her mother said, standing up. "You look... stunning. Where are you going dressed like this, with your bag and all? Is there some event you didn’t tell me about?”"Just dinner?" Her mother folded her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Dressed like this? And with

The little girl, who had just hugged her father so eagerly, was the daughter of General Marcus Steel and Catherine Steel. Her name was Isabella Steel.Marcus bent down with a warm, affectionate smile on his face. He kissed her cheek and raised her up, his voice full of tenderness. "How are you, my girl?" he asked, his eyes filled with love.Isabella giggled, her face beaming. "I'm fine, daddy!" she replied, wrapping her arms around his neck.Catherine, standing nearby, smiled at the exchange and stood up to greet her husband. She walked toward him gracefully, her eyes full of affection as they kissed. "How was everything? How's work?" she asked, her voice soft with concern.Marcus looked at his wife and then back at his daughter. He placed the little girl down gently before responding to Catherine, his demeanor relaxing now that he was home. "Everything is fine," he said, his voice warm and filled with contentment. "Busy as always, but it's good to be home.”The other lady who had b

Marcus shook his head firmly. "Not yet," he said, his voice steady. "Sophia is still young. She’s only ten, Catherine. I don’t want to overwhelm her with something this big right now. Let her enjoy her childhood without complications."He leaned back slightly, his expression thoughtful. "As for Elijah, he’s just starting to adjust to the truth about us. Adding another revelation might be too much for him. He needs time to fully embrace who he is and his new reality. Once he's stable and ready, then we can tell him about Sophia.”Marcus placed his hand on Catherine’s gently. "Let’s handle this one step at a time. When the time is right, we’ll tell them both.”Meanwhile, Elijah's eyes fluttered open, and he realized he had taken a nap on the sofa. He stretched his arms lazily, yawning deeply as he shifted to sit upright. Glancing around, he reached for his phone and tapped the screen. The time read 7:25 p.m."Oh, I slept for that long?" he muttered to himself, shaking his head to shake

Moments later, as Sierra waited, she saw Daniel Everhart step out of the building, descending the small flight of stairs. Her eyes lit up as she quickly waved at him. Daniel smiled warmly and walked toward her, his presence commanding. He was dressed in a dark blue suit that perfectly complemented his build, the fabric clearly of high quality. The lapels were sharp and sleek, with a subtle sheen that caught the light. His tie, a deep burgundy, added a striking contrast, while his expensive watch peeked from beneath his cuff.His shades, effortlessly hanging inside the collar of his shirt. As Daniel got closer, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, visibly taken aback by Sierra's appearance. Her dress, a sleek, fitted red wine gown that flattered her curves, accentuated her stunning shape. The way the fabric clung to her thick, confident figure left him speechless for a moment. His eyes lingered on her, and he couldn't stop himself from complimenting her, his words coming in rapi

Meanwhile, Elijah had completed the security checks without any hassle. After driving inside, he parked his BMW M5 beside the Mazda 6, his eyes immediately drawn to the massive structure of Carmen's. As he stepped out of the car, his gaze swept over the grand restaurant, and he couldn't help but stand there for a moment, taking it all in.The sheer scale of Carmen's left him in awe—its multi-story design, the intricacy of the architecture, and the high-end aura radiating from every corner. The top floors gleamed like a crown above the bustling streets below. Elijah had seen many high-end places, but Carmen's was on another level. He felt a rush of excitement, wondering what kind of experience awaited inside.As Elijah stepped inside Carmen’s, the ambiance immediately caught his attention. The downstairs dining area was lively and elegant, with soft lighting casting a warm glow over the neatly arranged tables. The quiet hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses filled the air. E

The guard crossed his arms and explained firmly, "To dine here, you need proof of financial status. At least a $100,000 inflow into your account for the past three months. Additionally, the card grants access to this area—it’s issued only to members who meet this criterion. And, of course, we strictly monitor who can bring guests. This ensures the privacy and quality of the experience for our patrons.”Elijah, slightly taken aback, nodded slowly, absorbing the information. "I see," he murmured, his curiosity now piqued even more. Although he didn't know Carmen's had such rule he felt it was not bad for such top tier place. Elijah smirked at the explanation and asked, "How can I get this card then?"The security guard, still holding his firm stance, replied, "You just need to provide proof of financial eligibility. A transaction history showing an inflow of at least $100,000 for the past three months is sufficient.”Elijah’s smirk widened. "That’s not a problem," he said confidently.

As the convoy smoothly entered the venue, Sierra reached into her purse and pulled out her invitation card, handing it over to Elijah."Please hand it over to them," she said with a small smile. Although she could have gone inside without presenting an invitation, she felt it was only right to give it to them.Elijah saw it as a perfect opportunity to get Felix inside without any hassle. He nodded and stepped out of the car, holding two invitation cards in his hand as Celestine’s cars continued their way in.Walking towards the security checkpoint, Elijah handed over the invitation cards. "Ms. Valencia asked me to give these to you," he said calmly.The security guards exchanged glances before nodding respectfully. His composed presence and association with Celestine made them assume he was part of the Valencia family. Without hesitation, they allowed him through.Not far behind, another car carefully approached. It was Felix, driving Elijah’s car as planned. Unlike the luxury vehicle

He quickly answered the call, and Celestine's voice came through.“Elijah, sorry for the late call. Had a meeting. Are you ready for the event?”Elijah nodded, even though she couldn’t see him. “Yes, been waiting for your call.”“Where do you stay so we can pick you up?”Elijah shook his head slightly. “No, no. Tell me where I should meet you guys.”Celestine gave him the location, and Elijah replied, “Alright.” He then ended the call and stepped out of his room.The moment he got out, he spotted Felix standing near the door, already dressed and waiting. His suit was perfectly in place, and he carried himself with newfound confidence.“You look good, brother,” Felix said with a nod of approval.Elijah thanked him with a small smirk. “You too.” Then, after a brief pause, he asked, “Can you drive?”Felix nodded. “Yes, very well.”Elijah gave a short nod. “Good. Here’s what will happen. I’m meeting Ms. Valencia, and I can’t take you along right now. So we’ll drive to the location she men

Betty leaned toward Sierra, whispering, “This is next-level treatment.”Sierra just smiled, glancing out the tinted window as the city lights passed by.Sierra took out her phone, casually checking her post, but the moment she saw the numbers, her eyes widened in shock."Seventy thousand likes already?!" she muttered, scrolling down. The post had exploded with engagement—over fourteen thousand comments in just a short time.She clicked on the comments, skimming through them."Omg, you’re so beautiful, Sierra!""See you at the event, queen!""On my way right now! Can’t wait to see you perform!”"That dress is FIRE! You’re gonna shut it down tonight."Betty, noticing Sierra’s expression, leaned over. "What’s up?"Sierra turned the screen toward her. "Look at this! I didn’t think it would blow up this fast."Betty grinned. "Girl, you're a star. The whole city is waiting for you tonight!"Sierra exhaled, feeling the weight of the excitement settle in. Tonight was going to be huge.By 7:30

At the Dominion Group headquarters, the atmosphere was abuzz with excited chatter about the upcoming party. In one corner of the bustling office, groups of workers gathered around water coolers and in break rooms, discussing every detail of the event."I heard all the big shots have been invited," one worker said, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Even the top executives are expected to show up, not to mention some major names from the business world."Another employee nodded vigorously. "Yeah, the tickets sold out within minutes. I even heard that a hundred extra invitations were given to our staff and key partners. It's going to be huge!”A third worker, adjusting his tie, added, "I heard the Valencia family is involved, too. Their sponsorship is massive—almost like a stamp of approval for the whole event."The excitement was palpable, and as more details were exchanged—about the luxurious venue, the celebrity performances, and the charity angle for the orphanage donation—the wo

"I promise I'm not selling," Betty said, raising her hands in defense. "I'm giving them to that lady and her boyfriend who sit behind us in class. They asked me for them."Sierra nodded. "Okay, you can take them."Betty smiled. "Thank you."As she tucked the invitations into her bag, Sierra leaned back with a thoughtful expression. "After the event, I'm planning to buy a car.”"A car?" Betty's interest piqued instantly.Sierra nodded. "Yeah. I talked to Elijah about it. I was supposed to go with him to check out options, but now... our conversation has kind of limited. I think he's still mad at me."Betty sighed. "Give him a bit of time. Maybe tomorrow at the event, you could talk to him or something."Sierra nodded. "I will."And just like that, time moved forward, and soon, the next day arrived—the day of the grand event.After waking up, Elijah checked his time before grabbing his phone, scrolling through it for a while. Eventually, he got down from his bed and headed to the washro

"Brother… this is your car?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper.Elijah nodded casually. "Yes. Get in.”Felix swallowed hard, staring at the expensive SUV once more before finally opening the door and slipping inside. The interior was just as breathtaking—plush leather seats, a state-of-the-art dashboard, and the scent of pure luxury.Elijah got into the driver’s seat, adjusting himself as Felix sat stiffly beside him."Brother, I swear if you carry me along and help me out, I'll be loyal forever and ever," Felix said, his voice filled with raw sincerity. "I promise."Elijah smirked, glancing at him. "We'll see."Then, as he started the engine, he asked, "Have you eaten anything?"Felix shook his head quickly. "No, I'm even hungry.”After leaving the store, Elijah drove the car to a high-end restaurant. Once they arrived, he parked the vehicle and led Felix inside. As they settled into a comfortable booth, Elijah turned to his friend and asked, “What are you going to eat today?”Fel

Felix stared at Elijah in disbelief. "You'll help me?" His voice was barely above a whisper, as if he couldn’t believe his own ears.Elijah nodded. "So far as you'll be loyal."Felix’s eyes lit up instantly. "Ah! I swear, I'll be loyal to you. If you say stand, I'll stand. If you say sit, I'll sit. Even if you ask me to kill, I'll kill."Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. "No killing. Just loyalty." He gave Felix a once-over and sighed. "You know what? Your clothes aren’t looking good. Pick some nice ones, then let’s get some shoes too. After that, I’ll take you to my place so you can shower.”Felix’s face broke into a huge grin, his hands clasped together as he nodded. "Thank you, brother. Thank you so much!"Elijah gave a small nod, then asked, "Where do you stay?"At that, Felix scratched his head awkwardly, avoiding Elijah’s gaze. "I don’t really have a place… I just sleep in uncompleted buildings, wherever I can find."Elijah's expression shifted. He couldn't help but feel a twin

After a moment of thoughtful silence, Elijah continued, “Convey the message about the orphanage giveaway to the attendees and ask for their support. Even if they contribute little by little until it exceeds a million dollars, that will be good. I’ll personally add a million dollars to ensure that the donation is expanded even further.”Isla nodded, making notes on her tablet. “Understood, Master. I’ll draft the message and ensure that our communications highlight both the charity aspect and the need for community support.”Elijah leaned back, his gaze steady. “Good. Let’s make this event not only a success for our company but also a significant contribution to those in need.”Isla replied, “Yes, Master. I’ll see to it immediately.”Meanwhile, at Chris' place,he leaned back in his chair as he flicked the ashes from his cigarette, the smoke swirling lazily in the air as his eyes studied the invitation card Sierra had sent him. He wasn’t one for sentiment, but this one had his attention.

Sierra refreshed herself and emerged looking absolutely radiant—her hair perfectly styled and her makeup flawlessly done. She headed straight into her personal studio room. Inside, soft ambient lighting set a calm mood. On a small desk sat her microphone and the sound system, ready to play the backing beat for her practice session. Her friend Betty settled into a comfy chair nearby, watching intently as Sierra prepared.Sierra took a deep breath, adjusted the mic, and started to set up her headphones. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.“Oh damn,” she muttered, glancing at her phone.Betty looked up, concerned. “What’s wrong?”Sierra sighed, a mix of regret and exasperation in her voice. “I promised to go live days ago—I even forgot about it. I have 3 million followers now; I really should have gone live to interact with them.”Betty raised an eyebrow. “So, you want to do it now?”Shaking her head, Sierra replied, “For now, it’s time for my practice. Maybe after my event—wit
