Elijah crossed his legs, leaning back into the plush chair with a composed demeanor. "Can you explain Dominion’s operations to me so I can understand everything better?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Isla with curiosity. Isla nodded with a confident smile. “Surely, Master Westbrook.” She picked up the desk phone, dialed a number, and after a brief pause, said, “Don’t send anyone in until I ask you to.” She then ended the call, turning her full attention back to Elijah. She stood up slightly, pulling one of the monitors closer to show detailed charts and reports. “Let’s begin with the structure,” Isla said. “Dominion Group is a conglomerate, meaning it owns and manages multiple companies under its umbrella. These include companies in finance, real estate, technology, healthcare, and logistics, among others. Each subsidiary is semi-autonomous but reports directly to Dominion Group.” She pulled up a chart showing revenue streams. “Our revenue is generated from three main sources: direct

At the same time, a sleek Range Rover SV Carmel Edition glided smoothly into the parking lot of the Dominion Group headquarters. Behind the tinted windows sat Celestine Valencia, the eldest daughter of the Valencia family. After inspecting one of the family’s restaurants earlier in the day, her father’s concerns about the Dominion Group being the largest shareholder in their business lingered in her mind. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she arrived to uncover more information.The luxury SUV came to a halt in a prime spot, catching the attention of onlookers. The driver’s door opened, and Celestine stepped out with effortless grace, her movements embodying elegance. She wore a sophisticated cream blazer paired with tailored pants, her ensemble accentuated by an expensive pair of Chanel sunglasses. Her wrist sparkled with a Cartier bracelet and a rolex datejust, and the faint scent of her high-end perfume seemed to linger as she moved.As she adjusted her shades and began

The security guard blinked in disbelief. “You don’t know?”Elijah shrugged, unfazed. Although the Valencia family name was well-known, it wasn’t like he’d spent time memorizing their faces. Celestine, despite her striking presence, was just another face to him.Celestine, however, wasn’t as composed. Her frown deepened as irritation flared in her eyes. She stared at Elijah, her jaw tightening. For a moment, she looked like she might lash out, but she took a deep breath, visibly calming herself. She couldn’t afford to meet the CEO looking visibly angry—it would tarnish her image.After a moment of silence, she stepped forward, her voice cold and cutting. “I’ll spare you today,” she said icily. “You’ve just broken something worth more than three months of your salary, but I have more pressing matters to attend to.”Elijah raised an eyebrow, holding back a smirk. She clearly assumed he was just another employee in the building. He decided not to correct her, letting the misunderstanding

The classroom door swung open with a forceful sound, silencing every conversation and drawing all eyes toward the entrance. Standing there, framed by the doorway, was none other than Daniel Everhart. He was dressed sharply, his desi shirt tucked neatly pants, his wrist adorned with an expensive watch. Despite his polished appearance, his expression was anything but calm. His jaw was clenched, his eyes burning with anger as he scanned the room.The tension in the air was palpable as his gaze swept across the startled students. Then, his furious eyes landed on Sierra. Instantly, his anger seemed to intensify, and without a moment's hesitation, he strode toward her, his every step filled with menace.Sierra, caught off guard, froze in her seat, unsure of what to do. Betty whispered, "Sierra… what’s going on?" but her words barely registered.Before anyone could react, Daniel reached her. His hand shot out, grabbing Sierra by the neck and forcing her back against the wall with a loud thud

Outside, Sierra fished out her car key from her bag, her face still tense with anger. She walked toward her Mazda with Betty trailing behind. Once she reached the car, she unlocked it and opened the driver’s door. "Get in," Sierra said curtly, her voice still edged with frustration. Betty opened the front passenger door and slid inside, watching Sierra cautiously. Sierra started the car, the engine purring softly, and drove out of the university campus. As they cruised down the road, Sierra sighed deeply, gripping the steering wheel tightly. "I can’t believe that guy. He’s completely out of control." Betty turned to her, concern etched on her face. "Sierra, relax. Don’t let him get to you like this. You’re so tense, you might end up driving recklessly." Sierra sighed again, realizing her friend was right. She slowed the car down and pulled over to the side of the road. She opened her purse, took out some money, and handed it to Betty. "Can you get me a bottle of water? Please.

At the bustling office of Damian's department, the atmosphere was electric with productivity. Workers were glued to their desks, fingers flying across keyboards and voices murmuring into phones. Amid the flurry of activity, one notable absence was Sophia—her desk sat empty, her chair untouched.In his spacious office, Damian sat at his desk, impeccably dressed in a tailored navy suit with a crisp white shirt and a silk maroon tie. His polished black shoes gleamed under the soft lighting. Reaching for his office phone, he dialed a number.When the line connected, he said firmly, “Please ask Laura Bennett to come to my office.”After a polite acknowledgment from the other end, Damian hanged up and leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers as he waited.About five minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door. "Come in," Damian called.The door opened, and Laura stepped inside. She was professionally dressed in a modest yet stylish blue pencil skirt paired with a light blue blo

Damian leaned casually against the edge of his desk, crossing his arms. “Come on, Laura,” he said smoothly, his smile teasing. “You’re a smart woman. Don’t play coy.” Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she maintained her composure. “I believe I’ve already thanked you for considering me for a position, and I take my work very seriously. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my desk.” Damian chuckled, as though her response amused him. “Relax, Laura. I’m just saying you deserve more than just a job title. I could make things... easier for you.” Laura’s stomach churned at his words, but she didn’t let it show. “I appreciate the offer, sir,” she said, her tone clipped. “But I prefer to earn my achievements the right way.” As Laura placed her hand on the door handle, Damian’s voice stopped her once again. “Think of it well, Laura,” he said, his tone low and suggestive. “I’ll be here, waiting for your decision.” She didn’t turn around this time. Instead, she took a deep breath, steeling

They hesitated. The first man responded again, carefully."There were additional logistics tied to new equipment, staffing expansions, and an upgraded IT infrastructure."Celestine didn’t look convinced."Then it should’ve been noted more clearly. The report lacks transparency.”She turned the last page slowly, then looked up."So, basically, this entire file is a mixture of carelessness, vague justifications, and missing pieces. And you’re handing it to me as proof of discrepancies in my father’s company?"No one said a word.Celestine leaned back slightly, her fingers tapping the file softly."I expected better from all of you.”Finally, the one who had adjusted his tie earlier, cleared his throat and leaned forward, his voice measured but tinged with a cautious edge. “Sorry to say this, Ms. Valencia, but… most of the recent mistakes here—they’re your fault.”Celestine’s eyes snapped to him, narrowing slightly. “My fault?” Her tone was sharp, incredulous, cutting through the room l

The interior was stunning—wide glass panels, elegant lighting. Several workers moved about, men and women all dressed sharply, focused on their tasks. There was a calm yet purposeful energy in the air.Elijah leaned toward Felix and spoke in a low voice, “You’ll wait here. I’ll go in. When I’m done, I’ll come find you.” He tossed the Prado keys to him. “Be careful.”Felix caught the keys and gave a small nod. “Okay, brother.”Elijah continued with Celestine, heading toward a large frosted glass door guarded by security. As they approached, the security guard stepped aside and opened it for Celestine.“If you need me inside, just press the button, boss,” he said.Celestine nodded without a word and walked in, Elijah right behind her.As they walked in, Elijah took in the interior of the boardroom — a spacious, elegantly furnished room with a large round table in the center. Seated around it were five men, all dressed in sharp suits. Some had laptops open before them, others held tablet

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
