Chapter 364
Richard leaned in close to Zane, his voice dropping to a whisper, his face pale with realization.“Young master… from everything we’ve just witnessed…” Richard swallowed hard, eyes flicking to Elijah who stood confidently in the center of the compound,“…the other men… they didn’t lie. He’s the one who beat them that night. Everything they said… was true.”Zane’s throat went dry, his fingers twitching slightly as he gulped, anxiety creeping into his voice.“But… how? How’s he that strong? How does… one guy beat all our trained guards like this? This… doesn’t make sense…”Richard shook his head in frustrated confusion, but his pride wouldn’t let him back down.“I don’t know, young master… but if we hesitate now, it’ll be too late. We’ll make them go all at once. Numbers will overpower him… no man can stand alone against a group.”Richard squared his shoulders, raising his voice sharply.“All of you… MOVE! Everyone attack together! Bring him down! Now!”The guards, though hesitant, tigh

Ezekiel’s face twisted in anger, his patience snapping as he took a heavy step forward, his voice booming with authority across the courtyard.“How dare you raise your voice here?!” he barked, his tone sharp and commanding.“You think you have any rights to speak… let alone threaten anyone… in my home? This is the Halden estate, boy, not some street corner you crawl on! You will shut your mouth, keep your head down, and you will accept whatever punishment comes to you!”His glare hardened, his voice dropping lower but filled with venom.“If I say we drag your girl here… we will drag her here, and there’s nothing you’ll do about it. Do you hear me? You are at our mercy now!”Around them, the guards stood straighter, some sneering, others nodding along, while Zane crossed his arms smugly.Elijah’s knuckles flexed, his breathing slowed, and then—in a single explosive motion, he rose to his feet with force, muscles tightening beneath his clothes. The two men holding him tried to push him

The moment Zane mentioned Celestine, a light flickered in Elijah’s mind.“Ah… so that’s it…” Elijah thought to himself, a realization dawning.It clicked—the day he picked up Celestine, when Zane and his people spotted him by chance… they must have recognized him, connected the dots, and started digging deeper.Elijah’s calm smile widened slightly, but he kept it hidden under the mask of fear, knowing exactly how far the Halden family had reached into his affairs, yet completely unaware of who they were truly playing with.Elijah remained perfectly still, keeping his head bowed, his breathing controlled. He stayed silent, refusing to answer Zane’s taunts, letting the young Halden’s insults hang in the air without a reaction.Ezekiel’s shoes clicked sharply against the compound floor as he stepped forward, his imposing presence radiating authority. His sharp, cold eyes narrowed as he stared down at Elijah.“Young man… what’s your name?” Ezekiel demanded, his tone low but commanding.Fo

Elijah continued his performance flawlessly, his breathing turning ragged, his expression contorted in fear. He thrashed weakly in their hold, shaking his head rapidly.“Please—take my money… take my wallet… even take my car! Just spare my life—don’t kill me, please! I’ll give you everything I have!” he pleaded, his voice cracking, hands twitching like a frightened man.Richard, standing a few feet away with his arms crossed, let out a loud, mocking laugh.“And these are the men who came back bruised and broken, claiming this weakling took them down?” Richard scoffed, looking over at his team with disbelief.“See for yourselves—look at him… begging for his life.”The moment Richard said that, Elijah’s mind clicked instantly.Halden family.So it really was them behind the tracker.Elijah’s face twisted even more in faked confusion, his voice wobbling.“Which… which men? I didn’t beat anyone… you’re mistaking me for someone else… I did nothing wrong… please, don’t harm me… I’m just a w

His fingers curled slightly, his jaw tightening as he began piecing together the motives—Zane Halden, the public confrontation, the bruised men who had failed to capture him, and the tracker placed on Sierra’s car.At that moment, Elijah’s expression darkened in thought, his brows knitting together as he pieced the situation together.“How did they… how did they get close enough to plant a tracker on Sierra’s car?” he muttered to himself, fingers tapping lightly on the table.For a brief moment, worry crept into his mind — was Sierra in danger? Had someone gotten close to her?Then it hit him.“Wait…” he whispered, his eyes narrowing.“The last time… I used Sierra’s car… I drove it to a few places… maybe that’s when they slipped in the tracker.”The realization settled over him.“It wasn’t Sierra they were after… it was me.”Elijah stood abruptly, his chair sliding back slightly. He grabbed his keys, his jaw tightening with determination.Moments later, he walked briskly out of the ho

The next morning, around 7:30 am, Inside the house, Sierra was already dressed neatly for the day, her handbag resting on the edge of the couch as she adjusted her earrings in front of the hallway mirror.Down the hall, Elijah had also woken up early, his mind sharper than usual after the discovery of the tracker the previous night. He had made quiet preparations, knowing it was necessary to redirect whoever was watching.Sierra grabbed her car keys from the console and turned toward him with a bright smile.“I’m done… I’ll be leaving now,” she said cheerfully.Elijah gave a small nod, opening his arms.“Come here.”Sierra stepped into his embrace, her arms wrapping around his waist as Elijah patted her back gently.“Good luck on your paper,” he said warmly.“Let me walk you downstairs.”“Of course,” Sierra smiled.They both walked out of the house together, descending the stairs into the driveway where the early morning breeze carried a quiet calm. Sierra pressed her Audi key fob, an
