As Elijah stepped into the VIP section, his eyes took in the lavish arrangement before him. The area was set apart from the rest of the venue with elegant golden railings, plush velvet chairs, and glass tables adorned with expensive wine bottles and crystal glasses.

At the center, the most prestigious guests sat in a semi-circle, engaged in conversation—powerful business moguls, elite investors, and high-ranking officials. Among them was Daniel’s father, Lawrence Everhart, and sitting not far from him was the eldest madam of the Valencia family, a dignified woman exuding authority.

Each table had name cards designating assigned seating, emphasizing the exclusivity of the section. Soft classical music played in the background, blending with the quiet murmurs of discussion. Waiters in crisp uniforms moved gracefully, serving premium drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

Elijah’s gaze flickered to where Celestine was seated. Her presence commanded attention effortlessly. Without hesitation, the bod

    Sierra couldn’t take it anymore.Her fingers trembled as she hit Elijah’s name again, her heart racing. The call connected almost immediately.“Hello?” Elijah’s voice came through.“Baby!” Sierra cried out, panic spilling into her words. “Are you bleeding a lot? Are you hurt badly? Felix is driving, Betty is here too—we’re on our way. I’m calling an ambulance and the police, okay?”Inside the BMW, Elijah shook his head quickly even though she couldn’t see him.“No, no, no—don’t do that,” he said firmly but gently. “I’m fine. I thought I was bleeding at first, but I realized the bullet didn’t hit me.”There was a pause on the line.“I’m not bleeding at all, babe,” he continued calmly. “It missed the target. The glass shattered, that’s all. The windshield was strong.”“Really?” Sierra asked, her voice breaking as relief washed over her. You could hear her breathing slow down.“Yes,” Elijah said softly. “Of course. I’m okay.”In the car, Sierra leaned back against the seat, closing her e

    The man didn’t blink.His voice was calm, almost bored.“Take the shot.”—Inside the BMW, Elijah drove on, the road ahead stretching quietly under the glow of streetlights. His phone suddenly began to ring. He glanced at the screen and smiled when he saw the name.Sierra.He tapped the control on the steering wheel, connecting it to the car.“Hey, babe,” he said softly.Her voice burst through the speakers, bright and warm.“Babyyy, where are you? Food is already ready.”Elijah smiled wider.“I’m already on my way,” he replied. “What did you cook anyway?”She laughed lightly.“Something different today,” she said, then mentioned a few soup dishes she’d prepared.Elijah nodded as if she could see him.“Alright then,” he said. “I’ll be there—”BOOM!The sound exploded through the car.The windshield shattered inward as a bullet tore through the glass and slammed straight into Elijah’s chest.“Ahhh!” Elijah screamed, his foot instinctively slamming on the brakes. The car screeched, tire

    Harold suddenly sprang up from his chair.“Hey—hey! What’s going on?” he blurted out, panic creeping into his voice. He looked at Isla, then at Elijah. “Did you really just make a call to get me fired?”Isla met his eyes without a hint of hesitation and nodded once.“Yes.”The word hit him harder than any shout could have.Harold’s face drained completely. His confidence collapsed in an instant, replaced by fear. He shook his head rapidly, stepping out from behind the desk.“No, no, no… let’s not escalate this,” he said hurriedly. “I was only joking earlier. You know how meetings get—just jokes.” His voice cracked. “I have a family. Please.”His hands trembled as he grabbed the file on his desk, flipped it open, and pulled out the approval document. Without reading it again, he slammed the stamp down hard—once, twice—then shoved it forward.“Here,” he said breathlessly. “Done. Permission granted. Everything approved.”The room went quiet.Elijah stepped forward, picked up the stamped

    Harold’s face hardened.He scoffed and leaned back in his chair, a sharp laugh leaving his lips.“And who exactly do you think you are,” he said, waving a dismissive hand at Elijah, “to speak to me in that tone?”His eyes narrowed.“You’re just an assistant,” he added coldly. “An assistant sitting in a room he shouldn’t even be in.”He leaned forward now, voice rising.“I’m the head of the Urban Development Planning Authority. I decide what moves forward in this city and what doesn’t. You don’t come into my office and start throwing figures around like you own the country.”Isla opened her mouth slightly.“Sir—”But Harold cut her off with a raised hand.“No,” he snapped. “I want to understand something first.”He turned fully to Elijah, irritation spilling freely now.“You assistants these days have no manners. No respect. You think because you’re holding papers and numbers you can question me?”He chuckled darkly.“Know your place. If you have something to say, you say it through he
