The man led Elijah to a sleek. Elijah stepped inside with him, and the man pressed a button for the top floor. The lift moved smoothly, the faint hum of its motion barely audible.

When the doors opened with a soft chime, Elijah was greeted by the sight of a wide corridor. The floor was tiled with a luxurious finish that seemed to shimmer subtly, while modern art adorned the walls. The lighting was bright yet warm, creating a welcoming yet professional ambiance.

They walked down the corridor until they stopped in front of a large, imposing door. The door was made of dark, polished wood with sleek metallic accents, and the nameplate read "CEO's Office." The handle gleamed as though freshly polished, and the entire door exuded a sense of power and authority.

The man turned to Elijah and gestured towards the door. "This is it. The CEO's office. You can go in, please. I’ll take my leave now."

Elijah nodded at him, offering a quiet "Thank you." The man gave a polite bow and turned to walk a

    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

    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.
