Phantom’s eyes darkened, his jaw clenching, but Elijah wasn’t done yet.

"You’re not even your own boss then," Elijah continued, smirking.

"You’re just a puppet on Nathaniel’s strings. He throws a few coins at you, and you bark and fetch like a dog?"

A few of the men visibly flinched, the insult hanging heavily in the air.

Phantom's hands balled into fists at his sides, his body stiffening, but Elijah leaned in slightly, smiling even wider.

"I expected more from a man with a name like Phantom Reiss," Elijah said mockingly.

"But it turns out you’re just another street thug in a fancy cage playing gangster.”

The room was dead silent for a moment. Even the dogs in the cages seemed to sense the tension, their growls low and threatening.

Phantom Reiss’ nostrils flared, and his voice came out low and murderous,

"You’ve got a death wish, Elijah Westbrook.”

Phantom’s dark eyes glared coldly through the flickering light of the grim room.

Nathaniel's voice came from the phone speaker, smug and v

    Sierra didn’t say anything, she just kept her eyes on Daniel as he approached.Daniel finally reached them, his cologne wafting slightly as he stood in front of the bench where they sat.“Hey beautiful ladies,” he said with a bright smile, his eyes flickering briefly between Betty and Sierra before settling on Sierra.“Hey,” Betty responded flatly, crossing her arms as she leaned back.Sierra took a moment, then gave a polite nod. “Hey, Daniel,” she said calmly, her tone neutral.Daniel chuckled lightly. “Sierra, you look really good today,” he added, ignoring Betty’s coldness.Sierra offered a tight smile. “Thanks.”Daniel smiled and said, “So, today’s the end of term… and tomorrow is the closing ceremony, right? I heard you’re performing.” He looked at Sierra with a light grin. “It’s really going to be nice watching you. Would you need any help in any part? Anything I can do?”Sierra gently shook her head and replied, “Thank you, but I don’t think I’ll need any help. I can handle ev

    Sierra’s reply came quickly: “You don’t even know me well… and I don’t know anything much about you. Stop this, please.” Elijah’s eyes scanned her words. He exhaled lightly and began typing again as FlibbityBoo: “What do you want to know about me again? There’s time to get to know each other well. You could just enjoy some treatment and care from me for a few weeks, and from there, if you still want to reject me—I’ll accept it. But about knowing you… I know you more than you think. Trust me.” He paused, then added: “I know you drove a BMW to campus today. I know you have exams. I could even tell you the color of dress you wore.” A long pause. Then her next message dropped: “Are you spying on me?” He smirked. “I’m just getting to know more about the woman I like,” he replied smoothly. Sierra responded after a moment: “You speak like my man Elijah… although behind the keyboard.” That made Elijah smile wider. He typed: “If I type so nice that it reminds you of how he treats y

    As he was driving away, the dust from the Audi’s tires rising behind him, the Haldens thought Elijah had finally left. But just when relief began to set in, the red brake lights flared, and the car reversed with a sharp, controlled motion, coming to a sudden stop in the middle of the compound.Everyone froze.The car door opened again, and Elijah stepped out slowly, his presence alone causing a chill to ripple through the courtyard. His cold, emotionless eyes locked directly on Zane, who instinctively clenched his fists—more out of fear than readiness. But he stood his ground, trying to appear unshaken as Elijah walked steadily toward him.Elijah stopped just inches away, towering slightly as he looked at Zane with a cold smirk. Then he spoke, his voice low, sharp, and commanding:“You should go to church, Zane. Find a good pastor. Kneel and do a strong, desperate prayer to the Almighty God… that even after you slapped me, I chose to spare you.”Zane’s eyes twitched slightly, but he s

    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
