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

Outside, the night air was cool, a stark contrast to the heavy scent of blood inside. He reached the car and opened the door, his gaze immediately softening as he saw Sierra resting in the front seat, the seat extended back for comfort. Her breathing was steady, though she still looked exhausted.Elijah slid into the driver’s seat and reached out, brushing his fingers lightly over her hand. “I’m back,” he murmured, his voice gentler now. “You’ll be fine. I promise.”Sierra stirred slightly as she felt Elijah’s warmth beside her. Slowly, she extended her hand, slipping it into his. He looked down at their intertwined fingers before bringing her hand to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against her skin.“What about Felix?” she asked weakly.Elijah’s expression didn’t change. “He’ll be handed over to the police. Everything is being taken care of.”Sierra nodded, accepting his words without suspicion. Then, as if something clicked in her mind, she asked, “What about the phone Felix record

Sierra blinked up at him, her body weak but her heart full. The nurse stepped forward, opening her bag to begin examining her.Celeste wasted no time as she unzipped her large medical bag and began setting up her equipment with smooth precision. She pulled out a stethoscope, placing it neatly on the nightstand before reaching for a small flashlight, which she tested before setting it beside the stethoscope.Next, she brought out a digital blood pressure monitor, unrolling the cuff carefully. She placed a pulse oximeter on the bedside table, followed by a small case of syringes and vials—most likely antidotes or treatments for drug intoxication. A thermometer, antiseptic wipes, and a small notepad were next, each placed in an orderly fashion as she prepared to assess Sierra properly.She also retrieved a portable IV drip stand, adjusting its height before hanging a bag of saline solution on it. As she carefully prepared the tubing, she glanced at Sierra, her expression calm and reassur

"A thief?" Elijah asked, tilting his head slightly, amusement flickering in his eyes."Give me your phone," the man said more firmly, stepping closer. "And your car key. Every dollar you have, too."Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. "First of all, thinking you'll get my phone is a joke. Secondly, asking for my car keys?" He let out another laugh. "Now that’s even funnier."The thief scowled, gripping the knife tighter."You know what? I'm in a hurry." Elijah reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills. "Here," he said, holding them up. "This is $5,000… or more, I think. Have it and just leave.”The thief hesitated, his eyes widening as he snatched the cash. He quickly counted through it, his fingers shaking slightly. His breathing hitched when he realized it was actually $7,100.But greed had already taken hold."Drop your car key and the phone too," he demanded, his knife still pointed at Elijah. His confidence grew as he saw how easily Elijah had ha

Nathaniel’s father frowned, his sharp eyes narrowing. “What do you mean by some guy shut down the proposal?”Nathaniel exhaled through his nose, still feeling the sting of the interaction. “I mean exactly that. I approached Celestine Valencia, but instead of responding to me, she let some man sitting beside her take charge. He questioned everything—picked apart our security protocols, pointed out flaws, and made it seem like working with us was a risk instead of an opportunity. By the time he was done talking, Celestine had lost interest, and I had no way to counter him.”His father’s expression darkened with anger. “And you just let that happen?” He scoffed, shaking his head in disappointment. “You let some nobody dismiss years of our research and development like it was nothing?” He stood up abruptly, his hands tightening into fists at his sides.Nathaniel clenched his jaw. “I—”“I might have been wrong handing Mercer Innovations over to you,” his father interrupted, his tone sharp

Elijah leaned slightly against the wall, his expression calm. “It’s a thank-you tip.”Celeste let out a soft chuckle and shook her head. “Thank you, but I can’t accept it. You’ve already paid for everything. There’s no need to give me anything extra. It’s my duty.”Elijah shook his head. “Have it. Moreover, I love how you work. I’ll take your contact and call you directly next time when there’s an issue.”Celeste hesitated for a moment before finally taking the money. “Alright. Thank you.”She then took his phone from the table, quickly typed in her number, and saved it. Handing it back to him, she said, “Now you can reach me whenever.”Elijah nodded. “Thank you, Celeste. It’s really late—are you sure you can leave safely?”Celeste smiled and waved off his concern. “Oh yes, I brought the hospital car, so that’s not a problem. I’m heading back to the hospital.”Elijah gave a small nod and walked her to the door. He watched as she got into the car and drove off before locking the main g

Elijah remained seated in the quiet luxury of his living room. His laptop still rested on his lap, the glow of spreadsheets and confidential documents reflecting briefly in his eyes.After a while, he reached up and gently closed the lid with a soft snap.He exhaled and leaned back slightly, pulling out his phone instead. With a few quick taps, he ordered food through one of his usual delivery apps — something simple, rich, and hot.As he waited, his thumb began to scroll idly through his home screen… until his gaze landed on the TikTok app.He opened it.The feed came alive instantly — sounds, transitions, lights. But he didn’t care about any of it. His fingers moved instinctively to Sierra Lane’s page.Her profile popped up.There she was — glowing, laughing, singing. Each video a glimpse into her rising world. Her smile. Her presence. Her voice.He played a few, watched silently, then slowed down to read the comments. Fans. Admirers. Curious strangers. Praise flooded every corner.

Marcus held her gaze for a quiet moment, then gave a faint, reassuring smile — the kind that barely reached his eyes.He gently touched her hand resting on his face, then lowered it with care.“All is fine,” he said in his deep, measured tone.“Just been busy handling a few things. Routine work.”He took a slow sip from the cup she’d brought, using it as a subtle way to close the subject.His wife watched him for a moment longer, her eyes searching his face — as if she knew there was more, but chose not to press it.Instead, she gave a soft nod.“Alright.”She smiled faintly and picked up her own cup, taking a small sip.She took another gentle sip from her cup, then glanced sideways at him, her voice casual but thoughtful.“Has Elijah called?” she asked softly.Marcus paused mid-sip.He lowered the cup slightly, his jaw tightening just a bit — a subtle reaction only someone who knew him deeply would notice.He shook his head slowly.“No,” he said. “Not yet.”She set her cup down gent

“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.
