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

Marcellus nodded, his expression softening.Marcellus Valencia was the father of three daughters. Celestine, his eldest at 26, was born to his first wife, a graceful and loving woman who passed away when Celestine was still a little girl. Her mother’s death left a deep void in both Celestine’s and Marcellus’s lives, and the grief eventually led Marcellus to remarry.His second wife bore him twin daughters, who were now 22 years old. However, their relationship had been fraught with tension. Celestine’s stepmother had not treated her kindly as a child, leading to years of resentment and a strained dynamic within the family. The ongoing issues between Marcellus and his second wife eventually caused their marriage to falter. Though they never formally divorced, they separated.Years ago, Marcellus’s second wife had requested that he establish a business for her and their daughters, as she wished to move away and raise the twins separately from him and Celestine. Wanting to maintain peace

Meanwhile, in a dimly lit office, General Marcus Steel sat at a wide oak desk with giant computer screens infront of him and a laptop beside it. Beside the laptop rested a rare, custom-made firearm. Next to the gun lay a stack of classified military files marked with a red "Top Secret" stamp. The files detailed intelligence reports, operational plans, and troop movement strategies for a developing situation in a high-risk region.General Steel’s eyes scanned the reports intently, his brow furrowing slightly. The files contained troubling updates about insurgent activity in the Khyros Region—a rugged and volatile area critical to maintaining control over key military supply routes. The reports indicated that enemy forces had fortified their positions, posing a threat to the local population and destabilizing the region’s fragile security.After a moment, he exhaled sharply and placed the files down, his mind already formulating a response. He reached for his phone and quickly dialed a

Sierra leaned back in her seat, a smile lingering on her face. “Elijah? What’s with the sudden call?” she asked teasingly. “I’m running some errands. What about you?”“I just finished eating what I cooked,” Elijah said casually, his voice carrying a hint of pride.“You cooked?” Sierra asked, her tone skeptical. “What did you cook?”“Scrambled eggs with herbs, crispy bacon, toast, and fresh orange juice,” Elijah replied confidently.Sierra laughed softly. “I can already taste how awful it must be.”“What do you mean?” Elijah frowned, clearly offended. “I’m the best at cooking, Sierra. You don’t know what you’re missing.”“You, the best?” Sierra teased. “I highly doubt that. If your cooking is as good as your bragging, it’s probably a disaster.”Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. “One day, I’ll cook for you, and you’ll have to eat your words.”“We’ll see about that,” Sierra said, her voice playful.After a brief pause, Elijah shifted the conversation. “By the way, it’s been a while sinc

Sierra looked at the car that had collided with hers—a sleek, upgraded 2024 Fiat 500, its shiny front completely wrecked from the impact. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to process the situation. If Elijah had been there, he would have been utterly shocked, because stepping out of the Fiat was none other than Sophia Bennett—his ex-girlfriend. Sophia had also been out running errands and hadn’t expected her day to take such a turn. The door of her car swung open, and she stepped out. She glanced at the front of her car, her expression instantly souring as she took in the crumpled hood and smashed headlights. Instead of offering an apology, Sophia’s eyes flicked to Sierra and narrowed. Her lips curled into a sneer. “Are you blind?” she snapped, her tone dripping with accusation. “Who parks like that in the middle of the road?” Sierra, already shaken by the crash, frowned, trying to keep her temper in check. “I wasn’t parked in the middle of the road,” she replied firmly. “I was slowing

After a few rings, the call connected. Damian’s voice came through the line, calm but slightly distracted. “Sophia? What’s going on? I’m in the office.”“Damian,” Sophia said sharply, her tone brimming with anger and urgency. “I need you to come here right now.”“What?” Damian asked, clearly confused. “I told you, I’m in the office. I can’t just leave work. What’s going on?”Sophia clenched her jaw, her frustration boiling over. “I don’t care if you’re in the office! I need you here. Some person just slapped me—slapped me!—and I can’t deal with this alone. You have to help me handle this!”Damian groaned audibly on the other end of the line. “Sophia, are you serious? I have meetings and reports to finish. I can’t just drop everything because someone slapped you.”Sophia’s voice rose, her fury palpable. “Yes, you can, Damian! You must! You’re my business partner, and you’ve always said you’d support me. Well, now’s the time to prove it. Get over here!”Damian sighed heavily, clearly ex

“But, Dad, what am I supposed to do?” Daniel stammered, panic creeping into his voice. “That’s your problem to solve,” Lawrence snapped. “I’ve given you more than enough chances, Daniel. You’ve proven that you don’t understand responsibility. So, you’ll either figure out how to recover that money, or you’ll learn what it’s like to live without my support. And if that takes a year or longer, so be it.” Daniel gulped, his face pale. “Dad, please...” “No,” Lawrence said firmly, his expression cold and resolute. “This is the line, Daniel. You’ve crossed it, and now you’ll deal with the consequences.” Lawrence exhaled sharply, clearly trying to rein in his temper. He reached for his phone and dialed the chef’s number. After a few rings, the chef answered, “Yes, sir?” “I’ll transfer the money to you directly,” Lawrence said, his voice clipped and firm. “Make sure everything on the list is bought and handled properly.” “Understood, sir. Thank you,” the chef replied. Lawrence ended the

Daniel shuffled into the washroom, his steps sluggish as he fought off the remnants of sleep. The cool tiles under his feet jolted him awake slightly as he turned on the faucet. Splashing cold water onto his face, he let out a low groan, the refreshing sensation helping him shake off his grogginess. He grabbed a towel, patting his face dry before reaching for his toothbrush.After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth thoroughly, he stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. His reflection looked as tired as he felt, but there was no time to dwell on it. Tossing the towel onto the counter, he exited the washroom.He made his way out of his bedroom and down the hallway. As he descended the staircase, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the kitchen, but he ignored it, heading straight to the parlor.As Daniel entered the parlor, he saw his father, Lawrence Everhart, sitting on one of the elegant sofas, a cup of coffee in hand. Standing beside him was the family chef, ho

In Elijah's bedroom, the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. The lights were turned off, and the curtains were drawn, plunging the room into a dim ambiance illuminated only by the soft glow of the large-screen TV mounted on the wall. A Netflix movie was playing, its eerie soundtrack filling the room.Elijah sat comfortably on the bed, dressed casually, while Sierra was nestled close by his side. On the nightstand beside them was a bottle of red wine and two glasses. Elijah reached over, picked up the bottle, and poured a glass for each of them, handing one to Sierra with a small smile.The movie on the screen grew tense—a suspenseful horror film filled with haunting music, jump scares, and ominous shadows creeping through dark hallways. A sudden loud thud in the movie made Sierra flinch slightly, her eyes widening. She set her glass down on the bedside table and turned to Elijah. “This is scary,” she said, her voice tinged with nervousness. “I’m already afraid!”Elijah glanced at her,

Celestine raised an eyebrow, her professional demeanor never faltering. “I’ve seen the headlines,” she replied. “The $1 million donation to orphanages and the singing contest. It’s all over the news.”Marcellus nodded, slipping his sunglasses down slightly to look at her more directly. “They’re creating quite the buzz. A move like this—it’s bold and strategic. Not just philanthropy, but branding. Dominion is positioning itself as a leader with values, and it’s working.”Celestine tilted her head, considering his words. “It’s smart,” she admitted. “They’re gaining public favor while keeping their name at the forefront. People are eating it up.”Marcellus smiled faintly, his gaze thoughtful. “It’s a tactic we could learn from. The public loves a story, Celestine—something to inspire them. Keep that in mind as you handle things while I’m away.”“I will,” she said confidently, her tone calm yet resolute. “But Dominion’s move has raised the bar for all of us. If they keep this up, they’ll

She smiled nervously but felt reassured by his words. Seeing his calm confidence helped ease the tension in her chest. “Thank you, Elijah,” she said sincerely. “For pushing me to do this.”Elijah smirked, tilting his head slightly. “You don’t need to thank me, Sierra. I’m just doing what a good friend does—believing in you.”Her smile widened, and she couldn’t help but feel a spark of hope as they both sat there.As Sierra glanced down at her phone, likely checking over her submission again, Elijah subtly pulled out his own phone. He quickly typed a message to Isla:“Sierra has filled out her application for the lead singer spot. Here are her details:Full Name: Sierra LaneNumber: [He Inserted Number]TikTok URL: [He Inserted URL].”Elijah then glanced at Sierra, who was still focused on her phone, unaware of his actions. Casually, he tilted his phone and took a quick picture of her sitting there, looking thoughtful and radiant in the soft light of the room. He added the image to the

“Young master,” Isla’s voice came through briskly. “I just wanted to inform you that I’ve released the news about the party and the singer selection process. It’s already live across all platforms.”Elijah nodded subtly, keeping his voice low. “Alright, thanks for the update,” he said, deliberately keeping the conversation short.“Of course, sir. Let me know if you need anything else,” Isla replied.“Will do,” Elijah said before quickly hanging up, not wanting to delve deeper into the topic with Sierra sitting across from him. He placed the phone back on the table and leaned back in his chair, masking any trace of the conversation with a relaxed smile.Sierra, still engaged in her phone conversation, barely noticed, only glancing up briefly before returning to her messages. Elijah smirked lightly to himself, satisfied that she hadn’t picked up on anything unusual.As Sierra was engrossed in her conversation, FlibbityBoo sent another message:“Alright, I won’t keep you too long.

Elijah quickly tidied up his home in preparation for Sierra’s visit. He arranged the living room neatly, adjusted a few throw pillows, and ensured everything was spotless. Afterward, he brushed his teeth, took a refreshing shower, and dressed in a casual but stylish outfit—a light button-down shirt paired with well-fitted trousers. Feeling ready, he settled in the hall, reviewing the company's analytics on his laptop. Soon, the sound of the doorbell rang, accompanied by a small notification on his phone showing the live feed from his security camera. Sierra’s face appeared on the screen, her soft smile brightening his day. Elijah smiled and got up, pressing the control to open the big gate automatically. He walked over to the main door and opened it just as Sierra approached. She stood there looking radiant, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit—a white tucked-in blouse paired with high-waisted denim jeans that flattered her figure. Her hair was styled loosely, falling over her shou

That night, as Sierra lay in bed, the events of the day played on a loop in her mind. Elijah’s words, his touch, and their kiss replayed with vivid clarity. Her heart fluttered each time the memory resurfaced, and though she tried to push it aside, it lingered, weaving itself into her dreams. As sleep finally overtook her, her dreams became a mix of reality and fantasy. She found herself back in Elijah’s car, his warm gaze locked on hers, his hand brushing her cheek. The kiss they shared replayed, but in her dream, it grew more intense, his voice whispering words that made her heart race. Her dream shifted, becoming more vivid, almost tangible. She saw his hand on her thigh, felt the warmth of his breath near her ear, and heard his deep voice saying her name in a way that sent shivers down her spine. The sensations felt so real that her body reacted instinctively, and she stirred restlessly in her sleep. When Sierra woke up in the middle of the night, her cheeks were flushed, and sh
