“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

About twenty minutes later, the tension between Sierra and Sophia still lingered heavily in the air, drawing the occasional glance from passersby. The sound of a car engine cut through the chatter as a sleek 2024 Honda Accord pulled up to the scene, its glossy black finish reflecting the midday sun.The car came to a stop near Sophia’s Fiat, and the driver’s door opened. Damian stepped out, still dressed in his sharp office suit, his tie slightly loosened from the rushed drive. His expression was a mix of annoyance and curiosity as he surveyed the scene, his eyes darting to the damaged cars and the growing crowd.“Damian!” Sophia cried, her voice shifting from confident to pleading as she hurried toward him. “Thank God you’re here.”Damian’s brows furrowed as he adjusted his tie, his tone clipped. “Sophia, what is going on? You dragged me out of work for this?”Sophia gestured dramatically toward the wrecked cars, her voice rising. “This girl rammed into me and then had the audacity t

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.
