As evening settled in, Sierra stood in front of her mirror, finishing the final touches to her outfit. She had chosen a casual yet stylish look for her dinner with Chris, the mysterious FlibbityBoo. She wore a pair of light blue skinny jeans that hugged her curves perfectly and a simple white blouse tucked in neatly, the fabric soft and flowing. Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, and the top had delicate lace details along the neckline, adding a touch of elegance.Her hair was left loose, cascading down her back in soft waves, and her makeup was minimal but radiant—a light gloss on her lips and a hint of blush on her cheeks. She slipped on a pair of nude flats that complemented her outfit, giving her a relaxed but polished appearance. A small crossbody bag completed the look, slung over her shoulder, carrying just the essentials for the evening.She stepped back from the mirror, giving herself one last look. Her beauty radiated effortlessly, even in such a simple ensemble. She sighe

The drive was smooth, with the city lights glimmering in the distance. Within twenty five minutes, the car pulled up outside the Grand Oak Restaurant. The driver smiled at her through the rearview mirror. “Here we are, miss. Have a great evening.”“Thank you,” Sierra said, stepping out of the car and taking a deep breath. She adjusted her outfit slightly and walked toward the glowing entrance of the restaurant.A waitress approached her with a welcoming smile. “Good evening, ma’am.” She led Sierra to a cozy table near the window, where the view of the softly lit street outside added a romantic touch to the ambiance.“Please make yourself comfortable,” the waitress said, placing a menu on the table. “Would you like to order now, or should I give you a moment?”Sierra offered a polite smile. “Thank you, but I’m waiting for someone. I’ll order once they arrive.”The waitress nodded and left, leaving Sierra alone at the table. She glanced at her watch and then at the entrance, hoping Chri

Chris smiled confidently, adjusting his tie as he began. "Well, the work I do? I’m into import and export. It’s pretty demanding, and I’m always outside the country, flying here and there. In fact, I only came back recently to oversee some goods that arrived. After this, I’ll probably be off again soon."Sierra nodded, intrigued. "That sounds like a busy life.""It is," Chris agreed, leaning in slightly. "But it’s rewarding, and it gives me the flexibility to enjoy moments like this."He then gave her a charming smile. "As for where I stay, I live in a quiet neighborhood. It’s peaceful. You know, if you’re interested, you could visit after we’re done here.”Sierra immediately shook her head, feeling a little awkward. “No, no, I was just asking. Not to visit or anything.”Chris chuckled softly, his eyes lingering on her for a moment. “Fair enough. Just thought I’d extend the invite. You never know; it might be worth the trip.”Sierra forced a polite smile. She leaned forward slightly,

Sierra was in the middle of eating when her phone started ringing. She paused, placing her chopsticks down, and picked up her phone. Her eyes widened when she saw Elijah’s name flashing on the screen. She gulped and glanced at Chris, who was busy with his meal, before looking back at her phone. Quickly, she answered, trying to keep her voice steady. “Hello, Elijah,” she said softly. “Sierra, what are you up to?” Elijah’s familiar voice came through, calm yet curious. “I was thinking of going out, so I’ll pick you up. We could grab something to eat, drive around, or maybe watch a movie. What do you say?” Sierra froze, her mind racing. She didn’t want to admit she was having dinner with another man—it didn’t feel right. She took a deep breath and forced herself to lie. “Uhmm… I’m actually feeling a bit of a headache,” she said, glancing down at her untouched food. “I’m on the bed resting, so I can’t go out tonight. Maybe another day?” “Really? Have you taken any medication? Are

Meanwhile, Elijah’s car pulled into the parking lot of Grand Oak Restaurant. The headlights cut through the dim light before turning off as he parked in a prime spot near the entrance.Dressed sharply in a shirt and slacks, Elijah stepped out, exuding his usual composed confidence. His cologne lingered in the cool air as he glanced at the glowing sign of the restaurant.After locking his car, he adjusted his wristwatch and ran a hand through his neatly styled hair, looking every bit the man who could effortlessly draw attention. He took a moment to scan his surroundings before heading toward the entrance.Elijah stepped into the Grand Oak Restaurant, immediately greeted by the warm glow. A small smile spread across his face as he admired the upscale decor.A waiter approached him with a courteous smile, saying, "Welcome, sir. Kindly have a seat."Elijah nodded, about to thank the waiter when his eyes caught sight of a familiar face across the room. His expression froze briefly, then

Glancing around discreetly, Chris opened the bottle, pouring a small amount of the liquid into Sierra’s food. His movements were quick and practiced, as though he’d done this before.Once the liquid was mixed into her meal, he placed the bottle back into his pocket, picking up his drink casually to avoid suspicion. His expression shifted back to one of calm confidence as if nothing had happened.Chris leaned forward slightly, running a hand through his hair and chuckling under his breath. “Let’s see how well this dinner turns out now,” he muttered to himself, taking another sip of his drink while waiting for Sierra to return.Soon, Sierra returned to the table, her eyes soft and distant, clearly affected by what had just transpired. Chris noticed her expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” Sierra replied quietly, avoiding his gaze. She reached for her bag and walked toward the counter. Chris watched her with a frown as she paid the bill for both their meals.When she returned

"Thank you," Elijah replied, offering a small nod before putting his phone down and straightening up. The aroma of the meal hit him, and for a moment, he let out a soft sigh. Maybe a good meal would help clear his thoughts, at least for the time being.He reached for his cutlery, ready to dig in.Meanwhile, Sierra arrived home, her face completely clouded with sadness. As she stepped inside, her mother noticed immediately. "Sierra, what's wrong?" her mom asked with concern, stepping closer to her.Sierra shook her head. "Nothing, Mom," she muttered, her voice faint and distant as she began to walk past her.Her dad came into the hallway, frowning. "Sierra, talk to us. What happened? Did something go wrong at your dinner?”Sierra stopped briefly, her emotions threatening to spill over, but instead of answering, she shook her head again. "Please, just don’t worry me right now," she said, her tone sharper than she intended."Sierra!" her mom called out, alarmed by her daughter's unusual

Sierra sniffled and looked up at her mom. “So… what should I do?” she asked, her voice small.Her mom gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s fine, sweetheart. Just give him a few days to cool down. Then you can talk to him.”Sierra nodded slowly, wiping the corner of her eyes. “Alright… I’ll do that.”Her mom leaned in, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Get some rest, okay?”Sierra nodded again, watching as her mom gave her one last comforting look before turning and leaving the room.Meanwhile, Chris drove into his compound, his grip on the steering wheel tight with frustration. As soon as his men saw his car pull in, they cheered, assuming he had brought Sierra just as planned.One of them, a burly man with a scar across his cheek, grinned wickedly. “Brother Chris! You did it, right? Where is she?”Another one clapped his hands together excitedly. “Damn, I’ve been waiting all night for this!”Chris, however, stepped out of the car with a murderous glare, slamming the door shut. Th

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
Chapter 248
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
