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

As Elijah’s slap landed on Daniel’s face, the entire restaurant seemed to freeze. Then, slowly, chairs screeched against the floor as people stood up, some stepping back, others whispering to one another in hushed, urgent tones. Mutters flew across the room, creating an almost deafening buzz of shock and disbelief.Sierra’s eyes widened in pure disbelief, her hand flying to her mouth. She couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed.Daniel, his face turning red, touched his stinging cheek, his eyes narrowing with fury. “You slapped me?” he said, his voice trembling with a mixture of shock and rage. His eyes glistened with unshed tears as he tried to maintain his composure, his chest rising and falling rapidly.Elijah, calm but with a dangerous glint in his eye, grabbed Daniel by the collar and pulled him closer. “I said apologize,” Elijah demanded, his voice firm and low. Without waiting for a response, his hand came down again, this time delivering a sharper, more brutal slap that

Her words hung in the air, cutting deep into Daniel’s arrogance. Sierra’s chest heaved as she stared at him down, her anger and disgust evident. “Your money doesn’t excuse this behavior, Daniel. You’re just embarrassing yourself, and honestly, I don’t even know who you think you’re impressing right now.”Daniel’s face twisted with fury as he touched his stinging cheek, his eyes blazing with rage. “I don’t care about this bullshit!” he barked, his voice echoing through the restaurant. “How dare he lay a finger on me? I, Daniel?” He chuckled darkly, shaking his head. “Fine. I’ll give him an opportunity. Ask him to kowtow before me and beg for forgiveness. Maybe—maybe—I’ll think about lessening his punishment. If not, even God won’t save him.”Elijah, who had remained still until now, smirked and stepped forward, his calm demeanor almost unnerving. His sharp gaze locked onto Daniel’s. “Apologize to you?” he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Daniel nodded smugly. “You heard it rig

The house wasn’t bare anymore. It was... alive.He wandered into the kitchen, where shiny new utensils were neatly arranged. Foodstuff lined the shelves, and a delicious aroma wafted through the air. Curious, he lifted the lid of a pot on the stove to find perfectly cooked jollof rice. Beside it, there was a separate pot of stew and a tray of meat.“Damn,” he muttered, impressed, before moving on.The fridge had been brought in and stocked with bottled water and an assortment of drinks. Even the wine bar was arranged with a selection of wines, most of which had low alcohol content. He inspected everything—plates, glasses, and small touches that made the space feel like a home.He returned to the living room, glancing at Sierra with a soft smile. She’d done all this. Kneeling beside her, he murmured, “You must be tired,” and gently reached out to touch her cheek.Before his hand made contact, Sierra yawned and stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She blinked, startled by the pair of eyes

Meanwhile, Sophia was still happily talking to Damian when they saw Laura walk over. As Laura approached, her expression was cold and filled with restrained anger. She locked eyes with Sophia, who returned the look with equal disdain. For a moment, the tension between the two women hung thick in the air.Damian glanced between them and frowned. "Laura, I thought you should be working. What do you want here?"Laura took a deep breath, standing her ground. "Boss Damian, I need to discuss something important with you.”Damian crossed his arms. "What is it?"Laura hesitated, her eyes flicking to Sophia. "With you and me only. Not her."Sophia raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms smugly, while Damian shook his head. "You can say whatever you need to right here. Sophia isn’t going anywhere."Laura clenched her fists at her sides but managed to keep her composure. "Fine," she said, lifting her chin. "I want to talk about the promotion. I believe there’s been a mistake.”Sophia frowned heari

The room erupted into a mix of applause and astonishment, with several workers looking at each other in surprise. Sophia, standing among them, froze for a moment, her heart racing although she was aware she was the one to be promoted. She felt dozens of eyes turning to her.Damian extended his hand toward her and said warmly, "Miss Bennett, please step on stage.”Sophia inhaled deeply, smoothing her already pristine office wear as she walked forward. Her heels clicked against the polished floor, and the applause grew louder. As she reached the stage, she turned to face the crowd.Damian gestured for her to stand beside him. "Ladies and gentlemen, this promotion is not just a reward but a reflection of consistent effort and excellence. Congratulations, Miss Bennett."Sophia nodded politely, her lips curving into a gracious smile as she acknowledged the crowd. "Thank you," she said, her voice clear and steadyAs Sophia stood on stage, basking in the applause, the murmurs among the worke

The men remained silent, their shame deepening under Victor's harsh words. One of them finally stammered, "S-Sir, we tried our best, but that man... he wasn’t ordinary. His men... they were like machines—""Enough!" Victor roared, slamming his hand on the armrest, making some of the men flinch. "Excuses don’t interest me. You’ve embarrassed me and my son!"Daniel stopped pacing, his face twisted with fury. "They’re pathetic, Father. I told you they were useless! Elijah humiliated me in front of everyone, and these fools couldn’t even defend me!”Victor leaned back in his chair, his expression darkening. "I underestimated this person," he said, his voice low and calculating. He turned his gaze back to the kneeling men. "Get out of my sight. I’ll deal with your incompetence later.”“Sir,” one of them began, clutching his injured shoulder, “we… we need some money to treat our injuries.”Lawrence’s expression darkened, and without a word, he rose from his seat, the golden necklace around

"Save it!" Daniel interrupted, pacing back and forth as his anger boiled over. "You think this is minor? Do you know how badly this has gone? Do you know how humiliated I am?! You're the one who sent men and now look! It's a disaster!”The bystanders who hadn’t already dispersed began whispering amongst themselves, their curiosity growing at Daniel’s outburst. Daniel’s father sighed heavily on the other end of the call. "Listen to me, Daniel. Don’t make things worse for yourself. Leave the place now.""But Dad—!" Daniel began, his voice shaking with frustration."Enough!" his father interrupted, his voice sharp and commanding. "I’ll send someone to pick up those ten useless men you hired. They’re of no use to you now. Just leave before you embarrass yourself further."Daniel gritted his teeth, but he couldn’t argue with his father’s authority. "Fine," he muttered, though his tone was far from calm."And as for this Elijah," his father continued, his voice colder now, "don’t worry abo

Minutes later, Sierra walked out of the fitting room, and Elijah’s attention immediately shifted to her. The dress she had chosen fit her perfectly, its simplicity complementing her natural beauty. She adjusted the hem slightly, brushing a hand down the fabric as if to get used to the feel of it. Elijah’s lips curled into a subtle smile as he watched her approach. “Looks good on you,” he said sincerely. Sierra glanced at him, her expression soft but slightly self-conscious. “It’s just a dress,” she muttered, trying to downplay it, though a faint blush crept onto her cheeks. Brandon, still standing at the counter, looked at Sierra and then at Elijah, visibly holding back his words. It was clear he hadn’t expected Sierra to actually leave the fitting room with a new dress that had been paid for. Elijah picked up the bags of clothes and sneakers, holding them effortlessly. “Ready to go?” he asked Sierra casually, as though the tension in the air from earlier didn’t exist. She nodded,

As Elijah reached the counter, he immediately recognized Brandon. His lips curled into a light smile, and he greeted politely, “Good afternoon.”Brandon, however, wasn’t having it. He crossed his arms and frowned deeper. “What do you want, please?” he asked with obvious irritation in his tone.Sierra noticed the hostility immediately, her brows furrowing. “Is that how you frown and speak to customers?” she questioned sharply, her voice carrying an edge.Brandon shot her a glare, clearly unbothered. “Customers?” he scoffed. “He came here yesterday and lied about buying clothes. After picking out $28,000 worth of items, he didn’t even have the money to pay. I’m yet to hang them back!” Brandon’s voice dripped with condescension as he turned his eyes back to Elijah. “Did you come to waste my time again?”Before Brandon could continue, Elijah cut in calmly, “Yesterday, there was a fault with my bank. Don’t worry, everything is working now. The clothes are still available, right? Just hand

The head of staff hesitated, still processing what had happened. "Uh... I—I think it’s around $15,000, sir. That includes the tables, chairs, glassware, and a few damaged fixtures."Elijah nodded and looked back at Daniel, his eyes cold and unyielding. "You heard her. Fifteen thousand dollars. Pay it now."Daniel’s face flushed red with anger and humiliation. "Fifteen thousand? Do you have any idea who I am? Why should I pay—"Slap!Elijah delivered a sharp slap to Daniel’s face, cutting him off. The crowd gasped, and even Sierra flinched slightly. Elijah’s voice was low but firm. "I’m not asking. You caused the damage, and you’ll pay for it. Or do you want me to call my men back to convince you?"Daniel swallowed hard, his fear evident. His hands trembled as he reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He opened a payment app and shakily asked the head of staff for the restaurant’s account details.The head of staff quickly provided them, and within moments, the transaction wa

Elijah’s cold gaze settled on the four remaining suited men. His tone was calm but carried an edge of command as he spoke. "Join him. All of you. Take those seven down together. I want to hear screams. Break their bones… and do it well."The suited men nodded sharply, no hesitation in their movements. One of them smirked, cracking his knuckles. “It’ll be over before you know it, Master Elijah.”Without another word, the five men advanced like predators closing in on prey.The seven men with weapons, now visibly shaking, tried to stand their ground. “Come on! We’re not scared of you!” one shouted, though his voice cracked.The air erupted into chaos as the suited men reached them. Screams pierced the evening, echoing through the area.“No! Please—ARGH!” one of the seven howled as his arm was twisted unnaturally, the sickening crack of bone splitting the air. Blood spattered the ground as another man tried to swing his bat, only to have it ripped from his hands and shattered across his
