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

"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

"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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Outside, the standoff stretched tight as a drawn wire. Phantom Reiss stood at the center of his compound, his men tense behind him, facing down the five armed officers who had dared to walk into his territory.Superintendent Dorson didn’t budge. His stance was firm, voice cutting through the air with authority.“Cooperate, Phantom,” he said, slowly stepping forward. “Let’s make this smooth. You come with us, answer questions, and we won’t have to escalate.”He gave a sharp glance around the compound.“But if you resist—if you think this is some game—you’re going to find your base surrounded in less than five minutes.”Dorson’s hand dropped slightly toward the radio clipped to his vest.“SWAT is already two blocks out. Drones are circling. One word from me, and this place becomes a war zone.”The threat hung heavy in the night air.Phantom’s jaw tensed, eyes narrowing. His men shifted behind him, muttering nervously now. Some lowered their weapons, sensing the growing danger.Just then

Outside, although it was dark, there were lights making the place a bit bright. Phantom Reiss stepped out into the open, his boots crunching heavily against the gravel. The dim security lights from the compound buzzed above, casting flickering shadows over the yard.In front of him stood five uniformed officers, guns raised, eyes locked with purpose.Each one had their weapon trained directly at Phantom’s chest.Behind him, his men fanned out silently, weapons in hand but still lowered, unsure if this would escalate or dissolve.Superintendent Dorson stood at the front, tall, unflinching, hand resting near his holstered pistol.He didn’t blink as he spoke.“Phantom Reiss.” His voice was loud and steady.“You and your men are under arrest. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately.”Phantom’s lip curled. “Under arrest?” he repeated, voice rising with disbelief and fury.He took a single step forward, shoulders squared.“Are you sick, Dorson? Do you even know whose house you’re st

Meanwhile, Felix arrived back at the estate. After locking the car and walking in, he stepped into the familiar living room and immediately noticed someone seated on the couch, legs crossed, holding a bowl of popcorn and munching quietly. It was Betty. She looked relaxed and beautiful in a casual top and shorts, her hair tied back slightly, eyes on the large screen.She looked up, recognizing him instantly. The last time she’d seen Felix was when she barged in with panic, telling Elijah Sierra was missing.“Hey, evening,” Felix said with a polite nod, closing the door behind him.“Hi,” Betty replied with a small smile. “Want some?” she asked, holding the bowl of popcorn toward him.Felix shook his head gently. “No, thank you, I’m good,” he said, before moving to take a seat at the other end of the couch.Just then, Sierra walked into the hall, tying the straps of her apron around her waist. She paused the moment she saw Felix, her eyes scanning the hall as if expecting someone else to
