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

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,

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

“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

As Sierra sat fuming, her phone buzzed again, its screen lighting up with Daniel’s name. She frowned deeply, holding the phone up for Elijah to see. “He’s calling again,” she said, her voice laced with frustration.Elijah’s eyes narrowed, his irritation clear. “Hand me the phone,” he said firmly, extending his hand.Sierra hesitated for only a moment before nodding and passing the phone to him. “Go ahead,” she said, leaning back and crossing her arms, waiting to see how Elijah would handle it.Elijah answered the call, his tone calm but deadly. “Hello.”Immediately, Daniel’s voice came through, loud and insistent. “Sierra, you need to—”“Look, Daniel,” Elijah cut him off sharply, his voice dripping with authority. “If you need money, go to TikTok’s office and demand your money from them. Don’t disturb her again with this nonsense.”Daniel stammered on the other end, caught off guard by the interruption. “I—”“I feel like smacking you at this moment,” Elijah continued coldly, his tone

Sophia stepped into Damian’s office, her black pencil skirt hugging her curves perfectly. Her bold red lipstick accentuated her full lips, and her sharp heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she entered. Her confident demeanor made heads turn wherever she went, and Damian was no exception.Damian’s face lit up with a sly smile as he saw her. Rising from his chair, he walked toward her with purpose, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. “You look stunning as always,” he said smoothly, his voice low.Sophia gave him a small smirk, adjusting the folder she was carrying. “You called for me?” she asked, her tone light but knowing.Damian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he reached behind her and turned the lock on the office door with a click. The sound sent a shiver of tension through the room. He leaned casually against his desk, gesturing for her to come closer.As Sophia moved forward, Damian reached out, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her to his side. His han

Sierra glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already 2 PM. She stretched a little and turned to Elijah, who was lounging comfortably on the bed. “I’m going to make noodles,” she said casually. “Hope you’ll eat?”Elijah smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’m hungry. I’m waiting,” he replied, leaning back and watching her.Sierra nodded with a small smile and got up, heading to the kitchen. Twenty minutes later, she returned with two plates in her hands. The aroma of the saucy noodles filled the room, making Elijah sit up eagerly.The noodles were vibrant and appetizing, coated in a rich, spicy stir-fry sauce. They were mixed with sautéed vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and green onions, along with tender pieces of chicken seasoned perfectly. The dish was garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, giving it a professional touch.Sierra handed Elijah a plate, then sat down beside him with her own. “Here you go,” she said with a smile.Elijah took a bite and his eyes lit up

Sierra leaned forward slightly, her brows furrowed in concern. “I’m listening. Did something go wrong? Financially or something else? Because if it’s money, I can help. I’m making good money now,” she said earnestly.Her father shook his head, a small smile forming on his lips. “No, Sierra. Our finances are fine,” he said reassuringly. “The issue isn’t about money. The thing is, your mom and I made a decision... we’ve decided that we’re going to leave this city.”“Huh?” Sierra’s eyes widened in shock. “Leave this city? To where? Why?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Her dadclasped his hands together, his expression calm but serious. “We’re shifting the business,” he explained. “We found that the next city has more potential for what we’re doing. I already have a lot of clients there, and moving will allow me to build even more connections.”Her mother chimed in, nodding in agreement. “Your dad is right, sweetheart,” she said. “It’s the best decision for the business and fo

Meanwhile…The sleek Audi Q8 rolled smoothly into the campus of New Ember University, its black finish gleaming under the morning sun. The low hum of the engine and the sharp, elegant curves of the car immediately drew attention.As it turned into the main parking lot and pulled into a space among a long row of older sedans and hatchbacks, heads began to turn.Conversations halted.Phones were subtly raised.Whispers rippled across the courtyard."Whose car is that?""Wait... is that a new Q8?""Damn… someone’s rich.”Then the doors opened.Betty stepped out first, looking crisp in her casual fit — neat, stylish, and unfazed by the attention. She adjusted her tote bag and gave a slight smirk at the growing crowd.And then—The passenger door opened.And Sierra Lane stepped down.Her black heels touched the pavement as she stood tall, hair flowing, her outfit perfectly fitted — simple yet stunning. She carried herself with the kind of effortless confidence that didn’t need to ask for a

Just as Felix stepped out, Sierra walked into the parlor with Betty beside her, both of them dressed and ready for the day. Sierra held her bag loosely in one hand, her other resting lightly on her hip.She walked up to Elijah, her expression soft but slightly apologetic.“I’m sorry,” she said, “I couldn’t prepare anything for you this morning. I—”Elijah looked up from his laptop, the faintest smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Don’t be silly,” he said gently, waving it off. “Why are you worrying about that? I’ll get something when I’m hungry.”He leaned back slightly, scanning her from head to toe. The crisp blouse, fitted pants, and the subtle scent of her perfume that lingered in the air — she looked hot, effortlessly.“You both are heading out for class, right?” he asked, his eyes lingering just a second longer than usual.Sierra nodded, adjusting her bag strap.“Yes. I missed the last lectures, so I really can’t skip today.”Elijah gave a small nod, the warm look still in

Elijah spent the next few minutes opening the remaining boxes, examining the shirts, pants, sneakers, and the carefully chosen bottles of cologne. He didn’t rush — he appreciated each piece, the detail, the effort Sierra had put in. Once done, he gathered them all and walked them over to the wardrobe, arranging them neatly.When he returned to the room, he looked at Sierra with a small smile and said simply,“Thank you.”Sierra nodded, her smile warm and soft.“This is nothing compared to what you’ve done for me.”She shrugged lightly. “Just a small gesture.”Elijah’s eyes lingered on her for a second longer before he asked with a faint grin,“So… what did you prepare for the night?”Sierra lit up slightly, her tone proud.“Spicy jollof rice with grilled chicken thighs and sweet-fried plantain. I also made some creamy coleslaw on the side — and fresh juice.”Elijah raised a brow, clearly impressed.“Eaten?” he asked.She shook her head.“No one has. We were all waiting for you.”Then

Celeste looked ahead for a moment, then turned back to Elijah with a gentle shake of her head.“No, please,” she said softly.“Just drop me down the street. I’ll get a car from there.”Elijah glanced at her, brow slightly raised.“You sure?”She nodded, her tone reassuring.“Surely. Thank you, though. I really appreciate the ride.”Elijah gave a small nod, saying nothing more as he guided the car smoothly through the street.A minute later, he eased the car to a stop near a quiet corner just as she’d asked. The soft glow of nearby streetlights spilled onto the pavement.Celeste unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door. As she stepped out, Elijah leaned slightly toward the open window and said calmly,“Take care of yourself.”Celeste smiled warmly, clutching her bag.“I will. You too, Elijah.”With that, she closed the door gently, gave him one last glance, then turned and walked off into the night.Soon, Elijah arrived at the estate.

Elijah said nothing at first. The faintest breeze swept past them.Just as Elijah was about to respond to Phantom’s question, his phone buzzed sharply in his pocket — cutting through the tense silence like a knife.He slid it out and glanced at the screen.Sierra.A flicker of softness touched his otherwise unreadable face. He answered with a quiet tap and brought the phone to his ear.“Sierra.”Her voice came through, gentle but laced with concern.“Where are you? Are you okay?”She hesitated, then added,“It’s almost 8 p.m… and food’s ready.”Elijah’s gaze drifted toward the edge of the compound, his voice lowering as the weight of the evening finally began to settle behind his calm exterior.“I’m fine,” he said. “Just had a meeting. I’m on my way back now. I’ll be there soon.”There was a brief pause on the line, then Sierra replied softly,“Okay. I’ll keep it warm.”Elijah ended the call and slipped the phone back into his pocket.He turned to Phantom again — the moment from earli

Phantom’s expression hardened immediately. His jaw clenched as he stepped closer to the man on the ground, glaring down at him like something rotten.“This idiot…” he muttered, the disgust in his voice unmistakable.He looked up at Elijah, his voice rising with bitter edge.“Two weeks ago, a father came to me — desperate, shaking. His fourteen-year-old daughter had gone missing after school. They searched everywhere. Nothing.”Phantom's eyes burned, his fists slowly curling at his sides.“We found her three days later. In an abandoned building on the edge of town. She was barely breathing, drugged, bruised, used.”He tilted his head toward the man on the ground.“This one is the bastard who took her.”The men around fell silent. Some averted their eyes. Others clenched their jaws.Phantom continued, voice now as sharp as broken glass.“He lured her in like a predator. Promised her a ‘modeling opportunity.’ Got her in his car. And when the parents tried to go to the police…”He gave a

Just as the police began filing out and the air started to settle, a sudden burst of movement shattered the moment.One of Phantom’s men — the same one who had once tried to rob Elijah that night — stepped forward, his face twisted with rage. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.“How dare you say our boss is under you?!” he snarled, eyes burning as he charged at Elijah.“I’ll teach you a lesson, you arrogant—”But he didn’t get far.Phantom moved like a lightning strike.His hand shot out and snatched the man by the collar, jerking him back mid-lunge. Before the thug could even speak another word—SMACK!SMACK!Two brutal slaps landed across the man’s face — loud, raw, devastating. The second one sent him sprawling sideways, a sharp crack echoing as a tooth flew out and hit the ground.The man staggered, blood dripping from his mouth, his cheeks flushed red and swelling rapidly. He stumbled to his knees, groaning.Phantom towered over him, seething.“How dare you?” he growled, his voice li

Phantom’s jaw tightened. For a moment, he didn’t answer. Then he let out a hard breath through his nose and stepped forward, facing Elijah squarely.“Even though I’m ruthless,” Phantom said firmly, “I’ve never murdered the innocent. I don’t do that. Nor do I traffic, rape, or touch women. Never.”He pointed a blood-stained finger toward the ground.“Yes, I beat people. I break bones. I punish those who cross the line. But don’t let them add things I don’t do. I don’t run like that.”There was a raw honesty in his voice — harsh, but real.One of the officers behind Dorson scoffed and stepped forward.“So you beat people?” he snapped.“And who gave you that right? Huh? Who gave you the power to take the law into your own hands?”Phantom’s eyes flared with rage. He turned sharply, stepping toward the officer, his voice venomous.“I’m the underworld boss.” He spat the words like fire. “You don’t tell me what to do. I answer to no one.”The tension roared back in like a tidal wave.Dorson
