Betty nodded, eyes still locked on Elijah.

“He’s the boss of all underground gangsters… the streets call him Phantom. I’ve heard his name several times.”

She glanced nervously around.

“Even the police avoid him unless they’re fully armed. He’s dangerous, Sierra.”

Sierra’s heart began to race. The air around her suddenly felt heavy.

She looked at Elijah, standing still, the bloodied knife still in his hand.

Then, with her heartbeat drumming in her ears, she rushed to him, grabbing his arm gently, her voice pleading.

“Elijah, please,” she whispered.

“Let’s just go. Please spare them. They’re not worth it… I don’t want things to get worse than this.”

Elijah turned his eyes toward her — cold, unwavering.

He shook his head once, firmly.

“No.”

Then, more softly but with steel in his voice:

“Go back, Sierra. Don’t interfere.”

There was no anger in his tone.

Only finality.

As the trembling man at the corner continued dialing Phantom Reiss’s number, whispers rippled across the restaurant like

    Elijah’s expression didn’t soften. His eyes held nothing but cold disinterest as he took a single step closer. “What’s your business?” he asked sharply. “Why do you care whether I own this place or not?”Sophia blinked, caught off guard by his harsh tone. “Calm down,” she said softly, her voice dipping into a pleading rhythm. “Why are you being so harsh, Elijah? I’m just as surprised as you are. Are you… still mad at me?”Elijah sneered. “Mad?” He gave a short, mocking laugh. “No. I just don’t want to see you in my house. You understand that? I guess things are going downhill for you, so now you want to act all sweet for favors, right?” He tilted his head with a cruel smirk. “Oh, let me guess—job gone. Damian’s in a cell. House? Evicted. Oh my…” He burst into a sarcastic, hearty laugh. “Life’s really dealing with you now.”Sophia’s smile vanished. Her lips parted slightly in shock. “Wait… how did you know about my job and… Damian?” Her voice trembled slightly.Felix, standing off to

    On the compound of the estate, Elijah stood in a white singlet and dark joggers, holding a pipe hose as he sprayed water over the two cars parked in front—thePrado and the BMW. Just then, the front door opened and Sierra stepped out onto the compound. She was dressed simply—a light blue tee tucked into black high-waist jeans with flat sandals. A small crossbody bag hung at her side. Her hair was packed up into a neat bun, and she had that calm, radiant look that always seemed to follow her.Elijah noticed her and immediately turned off the tap, coiling the hose back. He walked toward her, wiping his wet hands on a nearby cloth. “Ready? You leaving now?” he asked, scanning her outfit.Sierra nodded with a soft smile. “Yes. Please grab a meal when you’re done. I prepared something.”Elijah gave a nod. “Alright.” As she adjusted her bag strap, he reached forward and gently fixed the collar of her shirt, straightening it with care.“Thank you,” Sierra said with a small laugh, appreciativ

    “This is Sophia. We met a few days ago at the hotel that night, remember?” her voice came softly through the speaker.Felix, still half-asleep, furrowed his brows. The voice was familiar, but groggy as he was, he couldn't place it instantly.“Hello? Who’s this again?” he asked, his tone still waking up.“Sophia,” she repeated, more clearly this time. “The night at the hotel…We talked. I even—”She paused, letting it linger in the air.Felix’s eyes widened a bit as the memory rushed in—her perfume, her boldness, the way she kissed him.“Oh… yeah, yeah. Sophia.” He cleared his throat, sitting up. “Wasn’t expecting a call from you though. What’s good?”Sophia let out a weary sigh. “I’m good… I mean, not really. I’ve run into a bit of a situation and I was hoping you could help.”Felix sat still, his attention now fully caught. “Help? What’s up? Let me know.”Sophia hesitated briefly before speaking. “So… the house I was renting got sold out suddenly. The new owner came and threw me out.

    Elijah gently reached forward and placed the money in her hand. “It’s not too much,” he said. “It’s for Lily. You said yourself she hasn’t eaten well or gone to school in a while. That changes starting today. Don’t argue.”Lily’s mother clutched the money Elijah gave her, tears welling up in her eyes. She dropped to her knees again, unable to contain her emotions.“Thank you sir. Thank you so much,” she said softly. “Please, Madam Sierra… help me thank him too. He’s an angel to us.”Sierra smiled warmly, walking over to where her purse was placed. “It’s fine,” she said gently as she opened it and brought out a neat bundle of notes. She walked back to Lily and knelt slightly in front of her.“Here,” Sierra said, handing the little girl another stack. “This is also $1,000. You can buy yourself some new school supplies, clothes, or toys. Whatever makes you smile.”Lily’s eyes sparkled as she received it with both hands, her little voice saying, “Thank you, aunty.” Her mother was overwhel

    Roderick gave a small nod and replied calmly, “I’ll handle it tomorrow, sir. I have to finish up the other matters today.”Ezekiel turned to him with a sharp look and said firmly, “Don’t forget, Roderick. I want to know everything about that boy.”“I won’t,” Roderick replied with assurance, tucking the phone into his breast pocket.Zane, still burning with pride and bitterness, turned and walked off without another word, his shoes tapping briskly across the tiled floor as he stormed up the stairs.Meanwhile, back at the villa she had once proudly called home, Sophia stood by the doorway, her expression a mixture of disbelief and frustration. Her hair was neatly styled, and her makeup still flawless—but her pride had taken a brutal hit. With no choice left, she dragged out two large travel bags stuffed with her clothes, struggling slightly as she loaded them into the trunk of her car.The men who had been sent to carry out Elijah's orders stood nearby, arms folded, watching her every m

    “Move,” one of the men ordered firmly, stepping closer to Sophia.She took a shaky step back, her voice cracking. “Why? What’s going on?”“Your time’s up,” another said bluntly. “You’ve been told already. So start packing.”Sophia’s eyes widened. That warning—yesterday at the hotel—it suddenly echoed loud in her mind. “Please,” she said quickly, hands raised in a pleading motion. “Please, just let me speak to whoever sent you. Please, I swear I’ll leave, just let me talk to them—give me a number, a name, anything!”“No,” the tallest of them said coldly, expression unreadable. “We don’t deliver messages. We carry them out.”And just like that, some moved past her into the compound, Sophia’s voice trembled as she followed them, desperately trying to keep up. “Please, just give me some time,” she begged. “A few days. I don’t even have another place yet—I’ll look for one, I swear. Just give me a little time—please.”The men didn’t flinch.“No time,” one of them replied flatly, stepping
