Instantly, the digital map updated, revealing a moving arrow, tracing Chris’s exact position in real-time. The car was heading northwest, weaving through the streets of New Ember City."Got him," the man murmured, his fingers swiftly typing as he zoomed in on the details. The tracking system displayed the speed of the vehicle, the street names shifting as Chris moved closer to his destination.The man swiftly transferred the location data to Isla, who immediately forwarded it to Elijah.Elijah's phone buzzed, and he quickly checked the screen. A small smirk formed on his face—he could now see Chris's exact location.“We have them,” he muttered, his grip tightening around the phone. Without wasting a second, he tapped a few buttons and mirrored the location onto the car’s built-in screen. A bright red dot marked Chris’s moving position, while their own vehicle was represented by a blue one.“They’re a bit far,” Elijah noted, eyes scanning the distance. “But now that we have the map…” H

As the towel dropped, Chris stood clad only in his boxers. He approached the bed, tapping Sierra's shoulder. "Look at me," he commanded.Summoning the last reserves of her strength, Sierra opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face. "Please," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Let me go. I won't tell anyone. Just... please."Chris's expression darkened, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he loomed over her, unmoved by her pleas."No, no," Chris murmured, shaking his head as if dismissing her pleas. He lifted her weak hand and pressed three slow kisses against her skin, his lips trailing along her wrist.A sick grin spread across his face as he reached for the zipper of her dress. "Imagine this—the whole new star, Sierra Lane, on my bed. Oh my God," he whispered, his fingers pulling the zipper down inch by inch.Chris slid the dress off her shoulders, letting it glide down her body until it pooled on the bed, leaving only the vest Sierra had underneath. His eyes darkened as he

Elijah leaned back in his seat, watching the map on the screen as the car sped down the lonely road."Come on, Chris. You don’t recognize me?" Elijah said smoothly, deliberately dragging out the conversation. "We’ve done business together before. You really forgot me that fast?"Chris’s brows furrowed. "Business? What business?! I don’t know you! And even if I did, this is a bad time."Elijah smirked slightly, signaling the driver to push even faster. "Oh, my bad. Did I interrupt something? A deal? Or maybe… something personal?" His tone turned sharp. "Maybe I should call back later—unless, of course, you’re busy with something you shouldn’t be doing."Chris gritted his teeth. "Listen, you bastard. I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I swear to God if you call me one more damn time, I’ll find you and make you regret it!"Elijah chuckled darkly, glancing at the tracking screen. Three more minutes."Relax, man. No need to get so worked up," he taunted. "I just thought we could ha

The four men froze in shock, their drunken haze clearing instantly as they stared down the barrels of the guns aimed at them. One of them, reacting fast, lunged for his weapon—but before his fingers could even touch it—Puff!A single, silenced shot rang out. Blood splattered across the table as he collapsed to the floor, lifeless. The other three men flinched, their eyes wide with terror as they looked at their fallen comrade, realization sinking in that this wasn’t just a threat. This was real.Elijah, watching the scene unfold, felt nothing—not fear, not hesitation. Only rage. This was the first time he had ever seen someone die right in front of him, but there was no space for sympathy. Not for men like them.His cold eyes locked onto the remaining three. "Anyone who makes a sound will be killed instantly," he said, his voice as sharp as a blade.The men swallowed hard, their bodies rigid with fear."Where's Chris?" Elijah demanded, his tone carrying a deadly promise.One of the m

Sierra nodded, fresh tears slipping down her face. "He did slap me… countless times," she whispered, her voice shaking.She sniffled, gripping Elijah’s shirt as she continued, “It wasn’t my fault, Elijah. He—he lied to me. He told me he was FlibbityBoo, that’s why I went out with him last time and lied. I just… I just didn’t want you to feel bad.”Her sobs grew heavier, her small frame trembling in his hold. "Forgive me," she pleaded.Elijah pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. “I know it’s not your fault,” he said firmly. “Betty already told me.”Sierra blinked through her tears, looking up at him. “Betty? You met her?”Elijah nodded. “Yeah. She told me you went out with Chris, and after that, I figured everything out. I tracked him down and called him on purpose—to distract him.”Chris, still standing across the room with Felix’s gun aimed at him, felt his heart sink. His breath hitched, and realization dawned on him.The damn phone calls… They were all Elijah’s doing.“Fu

As Chris stood there, breathing heavily, his men began to panic. He also saw the body of one of the guys on the floor.“Chris! Do something, man!” one of them yelled, struggling under the grip of Elijah’s bodyguards.“This is all your fault, Chris! If you hadn’t gone after the damn girl, we wouldn’t be in this mess!” another spat, his face twisted with anger.“Yeah, you just had to be greedy, didn’t you?” one of the guys who had been drinking earlier snapped. “You just had to have her all to yourself first! Now look where we are!”“Shut the fuck up!” Chris barked, his face red with frustration and fear.“Nah, you shut the fuck up!” one of them shot back. “Because of you, one of us is already dead upstairs, and now we’re about to join him!”Chris gritted his teeth, glancing back at Elijah, whose face remained cold and unbothered.Elijah tilted his head. “This is interesting,” he mused. “Your own men turning against you. It seems loyalty only goes so far.”One of Chris’s men, his face f

Elijah turned his gaze to the man who had been pointed out. The man immediately fell to his knees, his hands raised in surrender. "Please, don’t—please, I beg you!" he pleaded, his voice shaking with terror. Elijah’s smirk deepened. Bang! A bullet tore through the man's chest. He gasped, his hands desperately clutching at the wound as blood poured out, staining his clothes. His body trembled as he struggled to breathe, his eyes filled with horror. Elijah stepped closer, tilting his head as he watched him writhe in agony. A cruel smirk played on his lips. "Don’t worry," he said coldly. "You’ll die soon. I’m thirsty for blood today.” Chris stared at Elijah in horror, his breath hitching. Seeing this level of brutality firsthand sent chills down his spine. He never imagined Elijah could be this ruthless. Felix himself gulped, he had known Elijah for a while, but today was different. There was no hesitation, no mercy—just pure, calculated vengeance. The whole place reeked of blood, t

Elijah smirked, leaning closer, his breath warm against Chris's ear."Have you heard of General Marcus Steel?"Chris's breath hitched. His pupils dilated in horror. Of course, he had heard of him. Everyone had. A ruthless, legendary figure. A man whose name alone sent fear through the ranks of those who dealt in crime and power.Chris nodded weakly, his body still trembling. "What about him?" he rasped.Elijah’s smirk widened."He’s my dad.”Chris felt his entire body go numb. His breathing hitched, his hands trembling as he clutched his bleeding stomach. His mind was spinning, refusing to process the words Elijah had just spoken.General Marcus Steel… his father?Chris's lips quivered as he struggled to form words. His heart pounded so hard in his chest he thought it might burst. Of all the powerful figures he could have messed with, it had to be him.The name Marcus Steel wasn’t just well-known—it was legendary. A man feared across the globe, known for his ruthless strategies, milit

“Been a while,” he said warmly, already opening his arms to pull her into a hug.But Sierra took a subtle step back, her expression calm, composed — but distant.Daniel paused mid-motion, his smile faltering for a second. He lowered his arms awkwardly and gave a tight nod, pretending not to notice the rejection.“Right. Cool.”He cleared his throat and tucked his hands into his pockets casually.Then his eyes roamed her again — appreciative, lingering.“Still beautiful as ever, I must say,” he added with a smug grin.“But now it’s not just beauty. It’s fame too.”He leaned slightly to the side, his tone playful but cocky.“I’ve been seeing your name everywhere. Posters, clips, you’ve gone viral. Looks like New Ember finally produced a real star, huh?”He gave a slow whistle.“You always had it in you, I guess. Just needed the world to catch up.”His gaze locked on hers, a subtle hint of flirtation in every word.“Must be hard keeping up with all the attention now… though if I’m being

Sierra quietly slid her books into her bag, zipped it up, and rose from her seat. Betty gave her a concerned glance, but Sierra simply offered a soft smile and whispered,“I’ll be fine.”She adjusted her scarf, gave a respectful nod to the lecturer, and made her way toward the door. Whispers rippled faintly across the class again as students watched her leave, unable to hide their curiosity because it was hard for you to be called by the administrator. And if you were called, it's for one reason, either you were about to be suspended.Once outside, the sun hit her face gently. She took a calming breath and started down the paved walkway toward the administrative building.She reached out, pulled the door open, and stepped inside the cool, air-conditioned lobby, her eyes scanning the front desk.Ahead of her were two desks, placed side by side but angled just enough to separate their occupants.On the left sat a man, likely in his early forties, dressed in a sky-blue button-down shirt

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
