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

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

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,

"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

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

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

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 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

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.
