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.

His breath caught in his throat as he froze for a moment. First, he was struck by her undeniable beauty, which seemed even more radiant under the dim, elegant lighting of the top floor. But the second wave of shock came from the sheer coincidence of meeting her again, here of all places.He stood still, looking at her directly without saying a word, his expression shifting between admiration and surprise. Sierra, still in her own moment of disbelief, locked eyes with him, unable to look away. The brief yet intense gaze held between them seemed to suspend time for a fleeting second.Elijah’s thoughts raced as he noticed the man seated opposite Sierra, facing away from him. Is that her boyfriend? he wondered, frowning slightly as he observed the man’s confident posture and expensive suit. She does have a rich boyfriend then, he muttered under his breath, piecing together the exclusivity of the place and her presence here. Without lingering too long, he quickly shifted his focus and fou

Sierra held up a hand, cutting him off gently but firmly. “I said no,” she replied, her voice steady. “That isn’t what we talked about. You said a dinner, I honored it. Please, let’s not talk about anything else.”Daniel's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly masked his irritation with a forced smile. “Of course,” he said, his tone light, though there was an edge to it. “I just thought we could have a bit more fun, you know? But, no worries, I’ll respect your wishes.”Inside, however, he felt a surge of frustration. She was playing it so cool, not giving him the chance to get any closer, not even a little. It annoyed him, but he kept his face neutral, making sure she didn’t see the annoyance behind his smile.“Anyway,” he said, changing the subject quickly, “let’s just enjoy the rest of this. The night’s still young.” He took a sip of his drink. About five minutes later, Elijah’s food arrived. The waiter placed the dishes in front of him. Elijah’s eyes widened in appreciation as th

He froze mid-step, the unexpected greeting halting him in his tracks. Slowly, he turned around, and his gaze fell on Sierra.For a moment, his expression was one of pure shock. He hadn’t expected to see her again, especially here. "You..." he murmured, his surprise evident in his wide eyes.Elijah quickly composed himself, pushing aside his initial shock. "Sierra?" he said, forcing a light smile as he recognized her fully. His voice held a hint of disbelief, but he tried to mask it.Sierra walked a few steps closer to him, her smile small but noticeable. "Hi," she greeted softly, her tone polite but warm.Elijah nodded at her, his eyes momentarily studying her before speaking again. "You look...really nice," he said, gesturing slightly to her dress. "That outfit suits you. It's...beautiful.”His compliment was genuine, though he felt a little awkward saying it. His gaze lingered for a moment before he looked away, not wanting to seem too forward.Sierra smiled warmly at Elijah's compl

Daniel glared at Elijah, his jaw tightening. "I don’t need to introduce myself to someone like you," he spat, his tone dripping with arrogance. He then turned to Sierra, his frustration evident. "I come out here to check on you, and I find you with some random guy? Who the hell even is he, Sierra?"Without waiting for her response, he swung his gaze back to Elijah, his temper flaring. "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll walk away and stay out of this. She’s with me.”Sierra stepped between Daniel and Elijah, her face flushed with anger. "Daniel, what is wrong with you?" she snapped, her voice loud enough to draw more attention from the onlookers. "How dare you act like this? Who gave you the right to push someone like that?"Her eyes blazed as she continued, "He didn’t do anything wrong! We were just talking, and here you are, acting like some arrogant, possessive jerk! What is your problem?”Daniel opened his mouth to reply, but Sierra cut him off, her tone sharper now. "You

He paused, as if reconsidering, but instead of finishing his sentence, he shook his head and stormed off, leaving the washroom hall in silence.As Daniel stormed off, Sierra quickly turned to Elijah, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She looked down for a moment, gathering her thoughts, and then said shyly, "I’m really sorry about that. Daniel…he’s just so proud and arrogant sometimes. He overreacts, and I didn’t mean for this to happen.”Elijah studied her for a moment, his expression softening. He shook his head and offered her a reassuring smile. "It’s not your fault, Sierra. You don’t have to apologize for someone else’s behavior. Don’t worry about it."Sierra looked up at him, a hint of relief in her eyes. "Thank you," she said softly, grateful for his understanding.Elijah shrugged lightly. "People like him are everywhere. You just have to let them be. Are you okay, though?"She nodded, her smile returning faintly. "I’m fine. Just embarrassed by the whole scene.""Don’t be

Elijah glanced at the money in her hand and let out a soft chuckle. "Sierra, really, it’s fine. Keep your money. I’m not worried about it.""But I am," she insisted, holding the money closer to him. "You just paid 18,850 dollars because of me. That’s not something small I can just brush off. I’ll pay you back."Elijah looked at her determined face and sighed, realizing she wasn’t going to let it go easily. "Alright," he said, raising his hands slightly in surrender. "How about this—you keep your cash for now, and if it’ll make you feel better, we can talk about settling it later. Fair?”Sierra hesitated, clearly wanting to insist further, but eventually nodded. "Okay. But I mean it, Elijah. I’m going to pay you back every cent."Elijah smirked lightly and replied, "We’ll see.”After settling the bill, Elijah and Sierra walked toward the exit together. The soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses from the restaurant faded as they made their way down the grand staircase.Halfway d

Sierra’s eyes widened at his words. Boyfriend? Her heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she felt uneasy at the title. But as she glanced at Elijah and realized he said it to shield her, gratitude quickly replaced her discomfort.The woman crossed her arms. “Alright then, how are you planning to settle this?”The woman frowned, inspecting the damage carefully before naming a price. “It’ll be $5,200 for the repairs.” Sierra’s jaw dropped when she heard the woman mention $5,200. She stared at the relatively minor damage on both cars, her disbelief evident. “That’s way too much for something like this,” Sierra began, her tone indignant.Before she could continue, Elijah gently placed a hand on her arm. “Don’t worry,” he said calmly, cutting her off. Turning back to the woman, he added, “I’ll pay the amount you requested.”Without hesitation, Elijah pulled out his phone. His fingers moved swiftly, and within moments, he showed the woman the transfer confirmation. “It’s done,” he said

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.”Celestine t

"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

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

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.

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

"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

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

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.
