She reached for her phone, lying on the bed beside her. As her fingers swiped across the screen, she then remembered the mysterious gifter, FlibbityBoo. She had sent him a message the day she received the gifts, hoping to express her gratitude. With a flicker of anticipation, she opened her inbox.Her heart sank for a moment as she was greeted with a sea of thousands of unread messages from her followers and admirers. She sighed and quickly typed FlibbityBoo into the search bar, relieved as the conversation thread popped up.The message she had sent before stared back at her, untouched, unanswered. He never replied, she thought, a small wave of disappointment washing over her. She tapped on the chat box and hesitated for a moment, then typed a simple:"Hello?”Her thumb hovered over the send button for a second before pressing it. The message was sent, joining the previous one in silence.Sierra placed the phone down and exhaled deeply, unaware of the coincidence surrounding her myste

Meanwhile, at Sophia's place, a black Hyundai Elantra drove up to the gate and honked late into the rainy night. The security guard promptly opened the gate, allowing the car to drive in. The rain fell steadily, casting a glistening sheen over the driveway as the car made its way toward the house.Sophia stood at the entrance, framed by the soft glow of the porch light. She wore a stunning blue nightgown that accentuated her figure, her beauty effortless and alluring even at this hour. In one hand, she held a half-full glass of red wine, and in the other, her phone. The black Hyundai Elantra parked neatly beside her car, its engine purring to a stop. Moments later, the driver’s door opened, and Damian stepped out. Despite the rain soaking his suit jacket, he managed a smile as he spotted Sophia waiting for him.Quickly, he shut the car door and hurried toward the house. As he approached, he didn’t hesitate, reaching out to pull Sophia into his arms. Without a word, he began kissing h

Sophia pulled back slightly, her hands still resting on Damian’s chest. “What about the promotion?” she asked, her tone soft yet insistent.Damian smirked, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Don’t worry about it,” he said smoothly. “Once you’re at work, everything is in process. Just trust me.”Sophia stared at him for a moment, then nodded, letting herself relax. Damian leaned in again, resuming his kissesThe next morning, Sierra’s eyes fluttered open as the sunlight filtered into the room. She instinctively reached for her phone on the nightstand, checking the time—7:56 a.m. She groaned softly and placed the phone down, realizing it was only four minutes to eight.Her initial panic quickly faded when she remembered there was no class today. Stretching her arms above her head, she let out a soft yawn and slid off the bed. Her bare feet touched the cool floor as she stood up, shaking off the last remnants of sleep.Tell how she walked to the window, pulling the curtains aside

The landlord took a deep breath before responding, “Eighty thousand dollars.”Elijah raised an eyebrow, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips as he considered the offer. It was a reasonable price, but he wasn’t one to settle quickly. He leaned back on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly against the armrest. “Eighty thousand?” he repeated thoughtfully. “It’s a fair price, but I noticed a few things about the property when I last checked. The maintenance seems a bit overdue—paintwork, plumbing, and all that. I was thinking more along the lines of seventy-five thousand.”Elijah chuckled softly, his tone becoming more persuasive. “I understand, sir. It’s a lovely property, no doubt, and I appreciate your position. But you mentioned you need the cash urgently. Seventy-five is a strong offer—cash, no delays. It’ll save you time and effort trying to find another buyer.”The landlord went silent for a moment, clearly weighing Elijah’s words. “You make a good point, but seventy-five is

As they got outside, Elijah unlocked the car and opened the door, sliding into the driver’s seat. He adjusted the rearview mirror casually, then glanced at Sierra, who was making her way toward the front passenger seat.“You can drive, right?” Elijah asked, raising an eyebrow.“Uh, a Benz? I haven’t before,” Sierra replied, hesitating as her hand hovered over the door handle.“It’s just the same,” Elijah said with a small shrug. “It was my first time with a Benz yesterday too. Just a few slight differences in the controls. Come closer, and I’ll explain.”Sierra hesitated for a moment before nodding. She walked toward him and bent slightly forward, leaning closer to the dashboard to see what he was pointing out.Elijah froze for a brief second as her scent wafted toward him—a mix of something floral and sweet, utterly distracting. He quickly shook the thought away, focusing his attention on the car controls.“Alright,” he began, pointing at the dashboard. “The gear shift here is electr

“Twenty-one,” Elijah answered casually.“Twenty-one?” Sierra’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you joking?”Elijah shook his head. “Nope, I’m not. I am.”Sierra was stunned. She hadn’t thought Elijah was that young—she was even older than him. “An expensive car at 21, your own house at 21... You’re amazing! I honestly thought you were around 23 or 24.”“Well, you’re wrong,” Elijah said with a grin. “But I guess one of the ages you just mentioned is your age?”Sierra nodded, laughing softly. “How did you guess? Yes, I’m 23, actually. Older than you are.”“Older girls,” Elijah said with a teasing smirk.“What did older girls do?” Sierra asked playfully, raising an eyebrow.“Nothing, nothing,” Elijah replied, holding back a laugh, his tone lighthearted.Soon, they arrived at a cozy restaurant tucked away in a lively part of New Ember City. The exterior had a modern yet inviting charm, with warm lights glowing through large glass windows. The sign above the entrance read The Urban Diner.E

After finishing their fresh juices, a server approached their table, carefully placing their breakfast dishes in front of them along with two bottles of chilled sparkling water.The breakfast was nothing short of luxurious. Elijah’s plate featured a perfectly poached lobster Benedict on toasted brioche, topped with a rich hollandaise sauce and garnished with fresh chives. A side of golden-brown truffle hash browns completed the dish.Both meals were served with a small basket of freshly baked artisan croissants and danishes, along with individual pots of imported jam and creamy butter."Wow," Sierra said, her eyes lighting up at the spread. "This looks amazing."Elijah nodded in agreement, his lips curving into a small smile. "It does. Perfect choice," he said, giving her a nod of approval before picking up his utensils to start his meal.As they ate, Elijah took a sip of his sparkling water and commented, “This is really nice.”Sierra smiled, setting her fork down. “I agree. Perfect

As Sierra finished her last bite, the tension between them was thick. She kept glancing out the window, watching as Daniel parked his car and stepped out. He adjusted his suit jacket and glanced at the restaurant, his expression determined.Outside, Daniel glanced around with a straight face, his hands in his pockets. His brows furrowed as he muttered to himself, “What’s she even doing here at this hour? What happened to all the other restaurants in this city?”His eyes wandered, landing on a sleek BMW parked nearby. He walked over, running his hand along its polished surface. “This is beautiful,” he murmured, admiring the car’s elegance and design. Unbeknownst to him, it was the same car that belonged to Elijah, the man he had almost fought the previous night.A sudden wave of frustration surged through him as he sighed angrily, shook his head, and headed toward the restaurant entrance.“He’s coming in,” Sierra whispered, her voice barely audible as she spotted Daniel approaching.E

Elijah gave a slow nod. "I understand, but I'm with someone who's sitting there."The security shook his head. "No, please. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t sit there just because you’re with someone who has access."Just then, a familiar voice cut through the air."What’s going on? Elijah?"A loud, amused laugh followed.Elijah turned and saw Daniel Everhart, a smirk plastered across his face.Daniel walked closer, still smirking, and asked, "What’s going on?"The security guard, noticing that Daniel was from the VIP section, straightened up slightly and replied, "He was trying to enter the VIP section, but he doesn’t have access.”Daniel laughed and then began to mock Elijah.Elijah remained expressionless as Daniel laughed mockingly."You think getting a nice haircut and a suit can give you access to VIP?" Daniel scoffed, shaking his head. "Are you important enough to sit among us? Do you even know the kind of guests in there? My dad, the eldest madam of the Valencia family, and

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.
