Sierra crossed her arms, her gaze cold as she looked at Damian. “This isn’t just about the money,” she said firmly. “It’s about her taking responsibility for her actions. She caused this and then tried to intimidate me instead of apologizing. You think throwing money at the problem will fix everything?”

Damian swallowed hard, realizing he was losing control of the situation. “Look,” he said, his tone softening, “let’s not let this go any further. Whatever the cost, I’ll handle it. Just… let her go.”

Elijah raised a hand, signaling the officers to pause. “Let her go,” he said calmly, his tone commanding but measured.

The officers exchanged glances before nodding and releasing Sophia, who immediately stepped back, rubbing her wrists and glaring at Elijah and Sierra.

Elijah’s attention shifted to Damian, his eyes cold and unyielding. “You want to settle this?” he asked, his voice sharp. “Fine. The cost for the damage is $25,000.”

Damian’s jaw dropped, his face paling. “What?” he exclaime

    Inside the Honda Accord, Damian gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white as he drove in silence. His jaw was clenched, and his frustration was palpable. The tension in the car was heavy, and Sophia could feel it radiating from him.After a moment, she glanced at him and said, “You seem annoyed.”Damian’s eyes flicked toward her briefly before returning to the road. “Of course, I’m annoyed,” he snapped. “Why wouldn’t I be? I just left the company in the middle of an important day to come here, only to end up blowing $25,000—just like that! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?”Sophia rolled her eyes, crossing her arms defensively. “You’re overreacting, Damian,” she said dismissively. “It’s not like I asked for this to happen. That girl was being completely unreasonable, and you’re acting like it’s all my fault.”“It is your fault, Sophia!” Damian shot back, his voice rising. “You’re the one who hit her car, and instead of handling it like an adult, you esc

    Elijah held her gaze for a moment, his expression softening. The sincerity in her eyes touched something deep within him.He opened his mouth, wanting to ask, “What do you mean?” but as the words began to form, he hesitated. “What do y—” he said softly, stopping himself mid-sentence.Sierra noticed and turned to him, her brows furrowing slightly. “What?” she asked, her voice curious but gentle.Elijah shook his head, a faint smile crossing his lips. “Nothing,” he said, his tone lighter now. After a brief pause, he added, “I appreciate it. Really.”Sierra nodded, her own lips curling into a small, shy smile. She turned her gaze back to the road ahead, and Elijah did the same, his focus shifting fully to driving.Soon, Elijah pulled up in front of Sierra’s house. He stepped out and helped her bring the bags from the trunk, setting them down on the porch. As they stood there, he glanced at her with a small smile.“I’ll watch your live tonight,” he said warmly. “Your career is about to ch

    Elijah sat in his room, both his phone and laptop in front of him. On his phone, he was logged into his personal TikTok account, while on the laptop, he was logged into the account of FlibbityBoo, ready to observe and support Sierra’s live stream in his own way.After ensuring everything was set, he joined the live stream first with his personal account. The moment the live session loaded, he saw Sierra already singing. Her face was illuminated by the warm, colorful glow of her setup, and her expression was calm and focused. Elijah couldn’t help but smile, admiring how professional and inviting her streaming room looked.Quickly, he typed into the comment box:"I’m here to support! 🎤✨🙌"As Sierra sang, she noticed the comment on the screen.

    Sierra continued singing, her voice carrying the heartfelt lyrics beautifully:"Through the highs and the lows,I’ll find my way, I’ll grow.With every step, with every fight,I’m reaching for the stars tonight.”Her audience remained captivated, the chat flooding with compliments about her soothing tone and powerful delivery.Elijah, sitting in his room, watched her performance with admiration. The way she poured her emotions into the song stirred something in him. He wanted to support her even more, not just through FlibbityBoo but also as himself. Searching through the gifts, he stumbled upon a simple yet meaningful one: I Love You, valued at 49 coins or about $0.65 each.Elijah smirked as an idea formed. Without hesitation, he selected the gift and entered the amount—10,000 I Love You gifts. As the confirmation went through, the screen erupted with a cascade of animations, filling Sierra’s live stream with a flood of hearts and bright “I Love You” graphics. The total cost, $6,500,

    He slumped back into his chair, his hand running through his hair as panic set in. “I spent over a hundred thousand dollars? On a live stream?” he whispered to himself, his voice shaky. He hadn’t even realized how quickly the numbers had added up in his attempt to outdo Elijah and FlibbityBoo.Sweat beaded on his forehead as the gravity of his actions sank in. What have I done? he thought, staring at the screen. The once-proud confidence he had felt during the gifting war was now replaced by sheer regret and panic.Daniel’s heart sank further as he sat there, staring at his empty bank account. His mind raced as the full weight of what he had done began to settle. This wasn’t just his money—far from it. A wave of panic washed over him as he remembered.This was the money Dad gave me for the project... and my tuition fees were in there too!He stood up abruptly, pacing the room as the realization hit him like a ton of bricks. His father had entrusted him with the funds for an important

    Her dad sighed, shaking his head in amazement. “Then may God bless him even more,” he said, hugging Sierra again. “And you, my daughter—you’ve made us so proud.” The room was filled with warmth and happiness as they embraced, their earlier disbelief replaced by overwhelming joy and pride for Sierra’s incredible achievement. After leaving her parents, Sierra rushed back to her room, grabbed her phone, and quickly dialed Elijah. The call barely rang once before he picked up. “Sierra?” Elijah’s calm voice came through. “What’s up?” “Elijah!” she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over. “I just had to call you. Tonight has been unbelievable! I told my parents everything, and they were so shocked. And it’s all thanks to you and... and FlibbityBoo.” Elijah chuckled softly on the other end. “You don’t have to thank me, Sierra. You earned every bit of it. I’m just glad I could help support you.” “But Elijah, you don’t understand,” she said, her voice growing more excited. “I made

    Just then, another car pulled up a short distance from Sierra’s. A young man around the age of 27 stepped out. He was tall, well-built, and undeniably handsome, dressed in a shirt and trousers that fit him perfectly. His hair was neatly styled, and he had an air of confidence about him as he walked toward Sierra. “Sierra?” he called out, his tone smooth but friendly. Sierra, who had been leaning against her dad’s car, looked up, startled. She straightened immediately, her eyes scanning his face with confusion. “Hello? Who are you?” she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty. The man smiled warmly, his teeth flashing under the light. “I watched your live stream earlier,” he said. “I sent some gifts—quite a few, actually.” Sierra’s interest piqued, and she tilted her head slightly. “Oh, I appreciate that,” she said sincerely. “It’s just that I’m not able to remember everyone’s names.” The man chuckled, nodding. “Understandable,” he said. Then, with a playful glint in his eye, he

    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

    Her cheeks flushed, and she bit her lower lip nervously. “It’s just... I always imagined my first kiss would be... I don’t know... perfect, planned, and romantic. But instead, it just... happened,” she admitted, her voice dropping to a whisper.Elijah smiled softly, his hand reaching out to gently touch hers. “Sometimes, the most special moments aren’t planned,” he said. “They happen when you least expect them. And Sierra, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that I got to share that moment with you. I’ll never take it for granted.”Sierra’s gaze softened as she looked at him, his words slowly easing the uncertainty in her heart. “I just... I don’t want to regret it,” she said quietly.“You won’t,” Elijah said firmly, his voice filled with confidence. “Because I’ll make sure you never do.”Elijah smiled softly at Sierra’s admission, then hesitated for a moment before speaking. “You know, Sierra… it wasn’t just your first kiss,” he said, his voice low but steady.Sierra’s lips curv
