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

When they reached the car, she noticed the M5 badge on the back. "This car?" she asked, looking at Elijah incredulously.Elijah nodded, unlocking the doors with a beep. "It’s starting to drizzle harder. Get inside." Without waiting for her response, he got into the driver’s seat.Sierra hesitated for a moment, staring at the car in disbelief, then quickly opened the passenger door and slipped inside. As soon as she settled into the seat, she was hit with a wave of shock.The interior was immaculate—soft leather seats, a faint new-car smell, and even some protective plastic still covering parts of the dashboard. The car felt warm and welcoming.Her hand ran lightly over the armrest. "Is this a new car?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Elijah nodded casually as he adjusted the settings on the touchscreen. "Yeah. Just got it today.""Today?" Sierra turned to him, her eyes wide. "Is this yours?"Elijah glanced at her briefly and smiled. "Yeah, it’s mine.""You bought this tod

Meanwhile, as they were driving, Sierra couldn't help but glance at Elijah every now and then. His focused expression, his hands steady on the steering wheel, and the way he seemed completely absorbed in the road—everything about him felt so composed and assured.Elijah, however, was entirely focused on the road, his attention fixed ahead. He didn’t notice Sierra’s gaze, as his mind was on the drive, ensuring they got to his place safely.A few minutes later, noticing the silence in the car, Elijah turned to Sierra and broke the stillness with a casual question."So, when are you going live again?" he asked, his voice light and easy.Sierra blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the question. It took her a second to realize what he meant, then she chuckled softly. "Oh, you mean my TikTok live?" she replied, her tone more relaxed now. "Probably tomorrow or the day after. I haven't decided yet."Elijah nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You seem pretty popular there.

Elijah glanced at Sierra as the car glided smoothly through the quiet, lavish streets of the estate. "So, you were saying?" he asked, pulling her attention back."This is where you stay?" Sierra asked again, her voice laced with disbelief.Elijah nodded casually. "Yes, just moved in here. We're heading to the Crown View section—that's where I stay, actually."Sierra's eyes widened as she looked at the grand houses lining the street. "You keep shocking me," she murmured, still trying to process everything.Elijah chuckled softly. "Don’t be shocked, Ms. Lane. It’s nothing," he said lightly. A few moments later, he stopped in front of a large, modern gate. Pulling out a remote, he pressed a button, and the gate opened smoothly. He drove into the compound and parked the car."We’re here now," he said, turning off the engine before stepping out of the car.Sierra followed, stepping out hesitantly. Her eyes roamed the massive compound in awe. Wait…is this guy even richer than Daniel? The th

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

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.”

"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
