Two hours later, Sierra’s car pulled up into the massive parking area of Marina Square.

From a distance, the mall looked like a giant block of modern architecture, spreading wide across acres of land. Its walls were painted in clean neutral tones, layered with giant LED billboards flashing advertisements of designer brands, perfumes, electronics, and luxury items. Bright neon signage spelled out Marina Square in bold letters high above the entrance.

The building had multiple wide entrances, each one bustling with streams of people carrying shopping bags in and out. Banners stretched across the front announcing seasonal sales, while palm trees lined the wide pavement, adding a touch of greenery to the busy scene. The parking area itself was massive, row after row of cars stretching out like a mini-city of its own, with security guards directing vehicles and whistles cutting through the air.

Sierra smoothly parked the car and looked at Elijah. He was leaning back in his seat, his eyes s

    The leader and three others stayed in the main hall, guns sweeping over the trembling crowd.In different parts of the mall, the chaos spread like wildfire.At the electronics wing, a group of terrified shoppers tried to slip out through a side exit. But just as they reached the doors, one of the masked men appeared, his rifle raised. He fired a deafening burst into the ceiling—TA-TA-TA-TA! Sparks and dust rained down, making people scream and stumble back.“QUIET!” he roared, pointing the gun at the crowd. “Nobody leaves! Move downstairs, NOW!” His voice cracked like a whip.Across at the fashion stores, frightened customers tried pushing through the glass doors into the main walkway. But another robber was already there, blocking the exit. He fired a single round into a display, the explosion of glass and mannequins silencing the desperate shouts.“You think you’re leaving?” he barked, swinging his rifle across the group. “Get your asses down there before I drop you all!”In the jew

    The crew moved with machine-like precision. Each one unzipped their tactical backpacks, carefully sliding rifles and shotguns inside, making sure nothing stuck out. Pistols were tucked into hidden holsters beneath their suits, easy to draw the moment they needed.“Check,” the leader said, and one by one, they nodded.The driver pressed his foot on the accelerator, steering the black armored van away from the main road and around to the west side of Marina Square. This was where supply trucks came and went—deliveries of food, clothes, and electronics passing daily through the service route loading bay.The van slowed as it approached, blending easily among a line of delivery vehicles pulling in. The heavy back door lifted with a faint hiss.“All right, masks off until we’re inside,” the leader ordered. “Move like workers, don’t draw eyes.”They all slid out quickly, adjusting their backpacks and straightening their jackets. To anyone watching, they looked like a team of regular contrac

    Sierra laced her fingers through Elijah’s and, with a playful tug, pulled him toward a wide-fronted high-end fashion store. The name stretched in bold letters across the top, its bright lighting spilling out into the walkway. Inside, rows of sleek clothing lined the racks—designer shirts, jackets, premium denim, and displays of shoes.Elijah gave her a look, half amused, half questioning, but she only grinned. “Come on,” she said, leading him inside.The store smelled faintly of fresh leather and new fabric. Attendants in matching uniforms glanced over curiously, some recognizing instantly that the couple walking in wasn’t ordinary.Just as Elijah leaned back, watching Sierra dart between racks with playful determination, a sales attendant in a neatly pressed uniform approached with a polite smile.“Welcome,” the attendant greeted warmly. “How may I assist you today?”Before Elijah could even speak, Sierra stepped forward, her tone confident. “Yes, please. I need some nice clothes, sh

    Sierra frowned slightly as she held the phone to her ear. “Why are you calling?” she asked firmly.Kaizer’s deep voice came through the line, smooth and calm. “Nothing at all. Just wanted you to save my contact. By the way…” his tone dipped lower, almost curious, “…who’s that young man sitting beside you?”Sierra’s eyes darted to Elijah briefly. She didn’t reply—her lips pressed into a thin line. Without a word, she hung up the call and dropped the phone onto her lap.Elijah, who had been watching her expression closely, leaned in slightly. “Is everything alright?”Sierra forced a small smile and nodded. “I’m good. Where did we end?”Elijah’s lips curved faintly. “I said shopping. Should we go for shopping?”Sierra tilted her head, studying him. “Don’t you have any work today?”He shook his head. “No. I just want to spend time with you today.”That made her lips spread into a warm, happy smile. “Thank you,” she said softly.Meanwhile, at the Halden family estate, the sound of heavy kn

  • Recap

    Elijah slipped his phone back into his pocket after the call with Phantom, his face unreadable as he strode further into the lobby. The place was lively—some guests clustered around the TV, others ate noisily at tables, conversations filling the air with a hum of chatter. Elijah’s sharp eyes scanned the area, searching for Sierra.Just then, the lobby door swung open.A man walked in—middle-aged, though carrying himself with the confidence of someone who believed he owned every room he entered. His head was clean bald, the light above glinting faintly off it. Around his neck gleamed a thick gold necklace, and on his pinky finger rested a fat diamond ring that sparkled with every move of his hand.It was Kaizer—the same man who had promised Sophia Bennett a soft life.The moment Kaizer stepped in, his eyes fell on Sierra. She sat elegantly on a chair, her attention fixed on her phone. Her natural beauty shone in the plainest of moments, and Kaizer’s breath caught slightly. Even more be
