Chapter 509: Don’t you think you’re being targeted
Meanwhile, in another quiet room,Shadows daughter, Jessica sat on the edge of her bed, the lights dim, the curtains half-drawn. Her phone was in her hands, screen glowing softly in the darkness.On it was a picture of Elijah.It wasn’t posed. It wasn’t planned.It was a picture she had taken secretly the last time they went out together—him standing slightly to the side, focused on something else.She traced the edge of the screen with her thumb, her expression conflicted.“So annoying…” she murmured.She leaned back against the headboard, staring at the image like it might suddenly change. Memories surfaced—his voice, his composure.“So many people around you,” she whispered, more to herself than anyone else.She lay back and stared at the ceiling, thoughts tangled, wondering why one man who hadn’t promised her anything had managed to occupy her mind so completely.Meanwhile, the two cars finally pulled into the estate one after the other.The Prado went in first. Sierra parked care
Chapter 508: Aurora Calls Elijah
Elijah turned to her gently, noticing how tense she was. “It’s really nothing to make a big deal out of,” he said calmly. “Probably just a random robbery attempt or some reckless idiot firing blindly. These things happen sometimes.” Sierra glanced at him, still unsettled. “But… a bullet? That’s not normal.” He gave a small, reassuring smile. “I know it sounds scary, but look at me,” he said softly. “I’m fine. Nothing happened. The glass shattered, that’s all. No injury.” He rested his hand lightly on her arm. “Let’s not overthink it, okay? I don’t want you panicking over something that’s already done.” Sierra exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself. “You’re sure?” “I’m sure,” Elijah replied without hesitation. “If it was serious, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you this calmly.” She nodded, though worry still lingered in her eyes. “Alright… if you say so.” Elijah turned back to the window, his expression relaxed on the surface. In the BMW behind them, the road hummed qu

Sierra couldn’t take it anymore.Her fingers trembled as she hit Elijah’s name again, her heart racing. The call connected almost immediately.“Hello?” Elijah’s voice came through.“Baby!” Sierra cried out, panic spilling into her words. “Are you bleeding a lot? Are you hurt badly? Felix is driving, Betty is here too—we’re on our way. I’m calling an ambulance and the police, okay?”Inside the BMW, Elijah shook his head quickly even though she couldn’t see him.“No, no, no—don’t do that,” he said firmly but gently. “I’m fine. I thought I was bleeding at first, but I realized the bullet didn’t hit me.”There was a pause on the line.“I’m not bleeding at all, babe,” he continued calmly. “It missed the target. The glass shattered, that’s all. The windshield was strong.”“Really?” Sierra asked, her voice breaking as relief washed over her. You could hear her breathing slow down.“Yes,” Elijah said softly. “Of course. I’m okay.”In the car, Sierra leaned back against the seat, closing her e

The man didn’t blink.His voice was calm, almost bored.“Take the shot.”—Inside the BMW, Elijah drove on, the road ahead stretching quietly under the glow of streetlights. His phone suddenly began to ring. He glanced at the screen and smiled when he saw the name.Sierra.He tapped the control on the steering wheel, connecting it to the car.“Hey, babe,” he said softly.Her voice burst through the speakers, bright and warm.“Babyyy, where are you? Food is already ready.”Elijah smiled wider.“I’m already on my way,” he replied. “What did you cook anyway?”She laughed lightly.“Something different today,” she said, then mentioned a few soup dishes she’d prepared.Elijah nodded as if she could see him.“Alright then,” he said. “I’ll be there—”BOOM!The sound exploded through the car.The windshield shattered inward as a bullet tore through the glass and slammed straight into Elijah’s chest.“Ahhh!” Elijah screamed, his foot instinctively slamming on the brakes. The car screeched, tire
