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

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 misunderstand

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

Outside, Sierra pushed open the gate, waving Elijah’s sleek BMW inside. A smile spread across her face as the car parked. When the engine cut off, Elijah stepped out, his hair meticulously styled, wearing a crisp shirt tucked into well-fitted trousers. The subtle cologne he wore reached Sierra’s nose, and she couldn’t help but think he looked exceptionally handsome. “Damn…” Sierra muttered under her breath, heart fluttering as Elijah walked closer. His gaze flicked down her denim shorts and paused momentarily on her legs before he quickly cleared his throat. “What are you looking at?” she teased, noticing his brief stare. Elijah gave a soft, disarming smile. “Nothing,” he said. “You just look really beautiful.” Sierra extended her hand, giving him a friendly shake. “Welcome to my house again,” she said warmly. “You look great. Come on in—dinner’s ready.” She took Elijah’s hand and led him toward the house. Sierra led Elijah through the foyer and straight into the dining room, whe

“Well,” Elijah said with a small smile, “I made over $100,000 in just a few hours before the stock started going down.”Gasp!”There was a brief silence at the table as the weight of Elijah’s words sank in. “$100,000?” Sierra’s father exclaimed, his voice a mix of astonishment and disbelief. “What the… That’s impressive. I’ve made more than that in business before, but it’s never been that easy or that fast.”Sierra’s eyes widened, and her mother’s fork paused mid-air. Both looked at Elijah in surprise, as though seeing him in an entirely new light.“You made that much in just a few hours?” Sierra asked, her tone laced with disbelief and admiration.Elijah noticed their reactions and quickly added, “But it’s not always like that,” he said, holding up his hands. “Trading stocks can be risky. You can win big, but you can also lose big. It’s all about timing, strategy, and a bit of luck.”He looked at Sierra’s father. “It’s not for everyone, Uncle. The market is unpredictable, and one

“You know,” her mother began, her tone speculative, “Elijah and Sierra really seem to match each other well.”Her husband nodded slowly, a faint smile playing on his lips. “He’s calm, smart, and composed. Exactly the type of person who could balance out Sierra’s headstrong nature.”“And he clearly respects her,” her mother added. “He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and he’s already accomplished so much at such a young age.”Her father leaned back, crossing his arms thoughtfully. “I wouldn’t mind seeing this friendship of theirs turn into something more serious. He might just be the person Sierra needs.”Her mother smiled knowingly. “Well, let’s see where things go. They’re young, but there’s definitely potential there.”Sierra walked alongside Elijah to where his BMW was parked, the cool evening air wrapping around them. As they reached the car, Elijah turned to her, his expression soft but curious. “What are your parents’ names, even?” he asked suddenly.Sierra tilted her head, a

"I... I..." Celestine stammered, her voice barely above a whisper."I what?" Elijah pressed, his gaze locked on hers, waiting.Celestine swallowed hard, finally exhaling. "I don't know what's wrong with me," she admitted. "Ever since that night... I keep thinking about it. About you. It doesn't make sense."Elijah's eyes darkened slightly with intrigue. "Thinking about me? How?"Celestine shifted under his intense gaze. "I just... I don’t understand it. I try to push it away, but it keeps coming back. And it’s frustrating." She took a deep breath. "I have my life figured out, Elijah. I don’t need distractions.”Elijah raised a brow, a smirk playing on his lips. "What did I do that I'm a distraction?"Celestine exhaled sharply. "You touched me that day, kept touching me, drawing me close... It was like a grade-one romance."Elijah's smirk deepened. "First time?"Celestine hesitated before nodding slightly, admitting the truth.Elijah tilted his head. "Didn't you just say you have a fia

Inside, Elijah was led into a grand, elegantly furnished living area. The bodyguard gestured toward a large, luxurious couch.“Please, have a seat. I’ll go call Ms. Valencia,” he said before turning to leave.Elijah nodded. “Alright.”As he settled into the plush couch, he let his gaze wander around the room. The décor was refined, exuding wealth and power. His eyes landed on a collection of framed photographs hanging on the wall.Most of them were of Celestine—striking, confident, and effortlessly beautiful in every shot. Some captured her at formal events, dressed in elegant gowns, while others were more casual, showcasing her poised yet commanding presence.Among them, a few stood out—photos of Celestine with her father, Marcellus Valencia. The two looked composed, their resemblance undeniable. Marcellus, with his authoritative aura, stood beside his daughter, who seemed every bit his equal in stature and presence.Elijah smirked slightly, leaning back on the couch, waiting for Cel

Elijah’s gaze flickered slightly as he spoke, “The donation? I’ll be in your office tomorrow so that we can speak about it. How about that?”“Alright, sir. I’ll expect you then,” Isla replied smoothly.With that, the call ended. Elijah lowered his phone, slipping it back into his pocket before walking back to Sierra.Elijah looked at her and asked, “So what’s the plan then?”“Should we swim?” Sierra suggested, tilting her head slightly.“Swim?” Elijah repeated before nodding. “That’s a good idea then.”“Also, tonight I’ll be going live from this side,” she added casually.Elijah nodded. “Without your equipment here, can you still?”She smiled. “Oh yeah, it’s just a normal live, not a singing live, so it’s fine. I can do it anywhere.”Elijah nodded again. “Alright then. Let me go get what I’ll use to swim.”She nodded as well and followed him inside to change.The car came to a halt in front of the police station, its doors swinging open as two officers stepped out. Damian was yanked o

Elijah raised a brow. Her house?“Your house? Tonight? What time?” he asked. He suddenly wished he had said he had plans—if he left, Sierra would be alone for the evening.“8 p.m. will be fine. Give me a call before then,” Celestine said.“Alright.” Elijah ended the call, slipping his phone back into his pocket. Then, he turned to Sierra.“I’m sorry, I might not be available for you tonight.”Sierra nodded and said, “I don’t have a problem. Are you going to meet someone?”Elijah nodded. “Yes, I didn’t expect a call, but…”“It’s fine.” Sierra smiled at him, her tone light. “I understand. Let’s just go and eat.”Elijah held her gaze for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”He then focused back on the road ahead as Sierra smoothly maneuvered the car toward a nearby restaurant. Elijah asked the drivers in the towing truck to join them as they ate together. Later they continued. Sophia reached home, her mind clouded with frustration and bitterness. As the cab pulled up to the gate, the se

"JUST DRIVE!" she snapped, her voice sharp and filled with frustration.The driver flinched, glancing at her through the mirror. "Uh, okay…" he muttered, clearly taken aback by her outburst.Meanwhile, in her luxurious office at Valencia Group, Celestine Valencia sat poised in front of her computer, immersed in drafting an important email.Her office was pristine, modern, and bathed in natural light from the towering windows behind her. Her dark brown hair was styled into a sleek, low ponytail, complementing the elegant yet powerful aura she exuded.Today, she wore a cream-colored silk blouse tucked into a fitted charcoal-gray pencil skirt that hugged her curves. A pair of diamond studs adorned her ears, subtle yet undeniably expensive.Even though she looked busy, there was one name ringing in her head. “Elijah.”The mere thought of his name sent an unexplainable tension through her body.And then, the memories came rushing back.His strong hands gripping her waist.The warmth of his

Outside, Elijah’s two newly purchased vehicles were already loaded onto a large towing truck, ready to follow them home. The sight of them neatly secured made Jacob even more pleased, knowing he had just closed a significant deal with a high-profile customer.Sierra twirled her Audi Q8 key in her fingers before unlocking the car and getting in. She adjusted her seat and buckled up while Elijah slid into the passenger seat, his usual composed demeanor in place.Just as Sierra placed her hands on the steering wheel, about to drive out, Elijah stopped her.“Wait,” he said, his voice smooth but firm. “Won’t you take some pictures?”Sierra blinked, caught off guard, before chuckling softly. “Oh… right! I should.” She stepped out of the car and pulled out her phone, taking a few pictures of herself standing beside her new Audi Q8. She made sure to capture different angles—some with the car door open, others with her hand on the wheel, and even a short video of the interior.Elijah leaned c

Elijah nodded. “If you love it, of course. Why not?” He then turned to Jacob. “How much is it?”Jacob smiled. “The 2024 Audi Q8 is priced at $78,000 for this fully loaded version. But since it’s you, young boss, I can offer a special deal—$75,000 with all the necessary paperwork handled immediately.”Sierra’s eyes widened slightly at the price, but she remained quiet, looking at Elijah to see his reaction.Elijah turned to Sierra. “Are you okay with the price?”Sierra looked at the car again, her fingers brushing over its sleek surface before nodding. “Yeah, I can afford it.”Jacob smiled. “Perfect!”As Sierra finalized her choice, Elijah continued strolling through the garage, his sharp eyes scanning the variety of luxury vehicles. He wasn’t in a rush, simply taking in the selection.Then, his gaze landed on a striking 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado—rugged yet refined, built for both city drives and tough terrains.

Elijah watched as more people excitedly approached Sierra, some even trying to get closer for more pictures and videos. He could see that Sierra, though polite, was starting to look overwhelmed.Stepping forward, he raised his hand slightly, his expression firm but composed. "Alright, that's enough," he said in a calm yet authoritative tone. "She's here for business, not a fan meeting. Let her be."His presence alone was enough to make some people hesitate. A few lingered, reluctant to leave, but Elijah’s sharp gaze swept over them. "You’ve had your pictures, now move along," he added.Slowly, the crowd dispersed, some whispering among themselves about how protective Elijah seemed over Sierra. As the last few people walked away, Elijah turned to Sierra. "Don’t let it bother you. Just focus on what you came here for," he said, his voice gentler now.Sierra exhaled, giving him a small smile. "Thanks."Elijah simply nodded, keeping his attention ahead as they waited for Jacob.Meanwhile,
