Daniel glared at Elijah, his jaw tightening. "I don’t need to introduce myself to someone like you," he spat, his tone dripping with arrogance. He then turned to Sierra, his frustration evident. "I come out here to check on you, and I find you with some random guy? Who the hell even is he, Sierra?"Without waiting for her response, he swung his gaze back to Elijah, his temper flaring. "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll walk away and stay out of this. She’s with me.”Sierra stepped between Daniel and Elijah, her face flushed with anger. "Daniel, what is wrong with you?" she snapped, her voice loud enough to draw more attention from the onlookers. "How dare you act like this? Who gave you the right to push someone like that?"Her eyes blazed as she continued, "He didn’t do anything wrong! We were just talking, and here you are, acting like some arrogant, possessive jerk! What is your problem?”Daniel opened his mouth to reply, but Sierra cut him off, her tone sharper now. "You

He paused, as if reconsidering, but instead of finishing his sentence, he shook his head and stormed off, leaving the washroom hall in silence.As Daniel stormed off, Sierra quickly turned to Elijah, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She looked down for a moment, gathering her thoughts, and then said shyly, "I’m really sorry about that. Daniel…he’s just so proud and arrogant sometimes. He overreacts, and I didn’t mean for this to happen.”Elijah studied her for a moment, his expression softening. He shook his head and offered her a reassuring smile. "It’s not your fault, Sierra. You don’t have to apologize for someone else’s behavior. Don’t worry about it."Sierra looked up at him, a hint of relief in her eyes. "Thank you," she said softly, grateful for his understanding.Elijah shrugged lightly. "People like him are everywhere. You just have to let them be. Are you okay, though?"She nodded, her smile returning faintly. "I’m fine. Just embarrassed by the whole scene.""Don’t be

Elijah glanced at the money in her hand and let out a soft chuckle. "Sierra, really, it’s fine. Keep your money. I’m not worried about it.""But I am," she insisted, holding the money closer to him. "You just paid 18,850 dollars because of me. That’s not something small I can just brush off. I’ll pay you back."Elijah looked at her determined face and sighed, realizing she wasn’t going to let it go easily. "Alright," he said, raising his hands slightly in surrender. "How about this—you keep your cash for now, and if it’ll make you feel better, we can talk about settling it later. Fair?”Sierra hesitated, clearly wanting to insist further, but eventually nodded. "Okay. But I mean it, Elijah. I’m going to pay you back every cent."Elijah smirked lightly and replied, "We’ll see.”After settling the bill, Elijah and Sierra walked toward the exit together. The soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses from the restaurant faded as they made their way down the grand staircase.Halfway d

Sierra’s eyes widened at his words. Boyfriend? Her heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she felt uneasy at the title. But as she glanced at Elijah and realized he said it to shield her, gratitude quickly replaced her discomfort.The woman crossed her arms. “Alright then, how are you planning to settle this?”The woman frowned, inspecting the damage carefully before naming a price. “It’ll be $5,200 for the repairs.” Sierra’s jaw dropped when she heard the woman mention $5,200. She stared at the relatively minor damage on both cars, her disbelief evident. “That’s way too much for something like this,” Sierra began, her tone indignant.Before she could continue, Elijah gently placed a hand on her arm. “Don’t worry,” he said calmly, cutting her off. Turning back to the woman, he added, “I’ll pay the amount you requested.”Without hesitation, Elijah pulled out his phone. His fingers moved swiftly, and within moments, he showed the woman the transfer confirmation. “It’s done,” he said

When they reached the car, she noticed the M5 badge on the back. "This car?" she asked, looking at Elijah incredulously.Elijah nodded, unlocking the doors with a beep. "It’s starting to drizzle harder. Get inside." Without waiting for her response, he got into the driver’s seat.Sierra hesitated for a moment, staring at the car in disbelief, then quickly opened the passenger door and slipped inside. As soon as she settled into the seat, she was hit with a wave of shock.The interior was immaculate—soft leather seats, a faint new-car smell, and even some protective plastic still covering parts of the dashboard. The car felt warm and welcoming.Her hand ran lightly over the armrest. "Is this a new car?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Elijah nodded casually as he adjusted the settings on the touchscreen. "Yeah. Just got it today.""Today?" Sierra turned to him, her eyes wide. "Is this yours?"Elijah glanced at her briefly and smiled. "Yeah, it’s mine.""You bought this tod

Meanwhile, as they were driving, Sierra couldn't help but glance at Elijah every now and then. His focused expression, his hands steady on the steering wheel, and the way he seemed completely absorbed in the road—everything about him felt so composed and assured.Elijah, however, was entirely focused on the road, his attention fixed ahead. He didn’t notice Sierra’s gaze, as his mind was on the drive, ensuring they got to his place safely.A few minutes later, noticing the silence in the car, Elijah turned to Sierra and broke the stillness with a casual question."So, when are you going live again?" he asked, his voice light and easy.Sierra blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the question. It took her a second to realize what he meant, then she chuckled softly. "Oh, you mean my TikTok live?" she replied, her tone more relaxed now. "Probably tomorrow or the day after. I haven't decided yet."Elijah nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You seem pretty popular there.

Elijah glanced at Sierra as the car glided smoothly through the quiet, lavish streets of the estate. "So, you were saying?" he asked, pulling her attention back."This is where you stay?" Sierra asked again, her voice laced with disbelief.Elijah nodded casually. "Yes, just moved in here. We're heading to the Crown View section—that's where I stay, actually."Sierra's eyes widened as she looked at the grand houses lining the street. "You keep shocking me," she murmured, still trying to process everything.Elijah chuckled softly. "Don’t be shocked, Ms. Lane. It’s nothing," he said lightly. A few moments later, he stopped in front of a large, modern gate. Pulling out a remote, he pressed a button, and the gate opened smoothly. He drove into the compound and parked the car."We’re here now," he said, turning off the engine before stepping out of the car.Sierra followed, stepping out hesitantly. Her eyes roamed the massive compound in awe. Wait…is this guy even richer than Daniel? The th

As they sipped their coffee, a loud clap of thunder roared outside, rattling the windows. Sierra flinched slightly, glancing toward the sound of the storm. The rain was now pouring heavily, the rhythmic patter almost drowning out the sound of the TV.She turned her gaze to Elijah, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “So… what about your parents? Where are they?” she asked softly.Elijah’s expression remained calm, but his eyes held a brief, unreadable glimmer as he looked at her. “They’re not here,” he said simply, his voice steady.Elijah’s expression remained calm, but his eyes held a brief, unreadable glimmer as he looked at her. “They’re not here,” he said simply, his voice steady.“Not here as in…?” Sierra tilted her head, trying to understand.Elijah’s expression softened as he leaned forward, placing the coffee cup on the table. “I’ve never seen my parents before,” he said, smiling faintly, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes.Sierra’s brows knitted together, her gaze filling w

Celeste looked ahead for a moment, then turned back to Elijah with a gentle shake of her head.“No, please,” she said softly.“Just drop me down the street. I’ll get a car from there.”Elijah glanced at her, brow slightly raised.“You sure?”She nodded, her tone reassuring.“Surely. Thank you, though. I really appreciate the ride.”Elijah gave a small nod, saying nothing more as he guided the car smoothly through the street.A minute later, he eased the car to a stop near a quiet corner just as she’d asked. The soft glow of nearby streetlights spilled onto the pavement.Celeste unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door. As she stepped out, Elijah leaned slightly toward the open window and said calmly,“Take care of yourself.”Celeste smiled warmly, clutching her bag.“I will. You too, Elijah.”With that, she closed the door gently, gave him one last glance, then turned and walked off into the night.Soon, Elijah arrived at the estate.

Elijah said nothing at first. The faintest breeze swept past them.Just as Elijah was about to respond to Phantom’s question, his phone buzzed sharply in his pocket — cutting through the tense silence like a knife.He slid it out and glanced at the screen.Sierra.A flicker of softness touched his otherwise unreadable face. He answered with a quiet tap and brought the phone to his ear.“Sierra.”Her voice came through, gentle but laced with concern.“Where are you? Are you okay?”She hesitated, then added,“It’s almost 8 p.m… and food’s ready.”Elijah’s gaze drifted toward the edge of the compound, his voice lowering as the weight of the evening finally began to settle behind his calm exterior.“I’m fine,” he said. “Just had a meeting. I’m on my way back now. I’ll be there soon.”There was a brief pause on the line, then Sierra replied softly,“Okay. I’ll keep it warm.”Elijah ended the call and slipped the phone back into his pocket.He turned to Phantom again — the moment from earli
Chapter 248
Phantom’s expression hardened immediately. His jaw clenched as he stepped closer to the man on the ground, glaring down at him like something rotten.“This idiot…” he muttered, the disgust in his voice unmistakable.He looked up at Elijah, his voice rising with bitter edge.“Two weeks ago, a father came to me — desperate, shaking. His fourteen-year-old daughter had gone missing after school. They searched everywhere. Nothing.”Phantom's eyes burned, his fists slowly curling at his sides.“We found her three days later. In an abandoned building on the edge of town. She was barely breathing, drugged, bruised, used.”He tilted his head toward the man on the ground.“This one is the bastard who took her.”The men around fell silent. Some averted their eyes. Others clenched their jaws.Phantom continued, voice now as sharp as broken glass.“He lured her in like a predator. Promised her a ‘modeling opportunity.’ Got her in his car. And when the parents tried to go to the police…”He gave a

Just as the police began filing out and the air started to settle, a sudden burst of movement shattered the moment.One of Phantom’s men — the same one who had once tried to rob Elijah that night — stepped forward, his face twisted with rage. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.“How dare you say our boss is under you?!” he snarled, eyes burning as he charged at Elijah.“I’ll teach you a lesson, you arrogant—”But he didn’t get far.Phantom moved like a lightning strike.His hand shot out and snatched the man by the collar, jerking him back mid-lunge. Before the thug could even speak another word—SMACK!SMACK!Two brutal slaps landed across the man’s face — loud, raw, devastating. The second one sent him sprawling sideways, a sharp crack echoing as a tooth flew out and hit the ground.The man staggered, blood dripping from his mouth, his cheeks flushed red and swelling rapidly. He stumbled to his knees, groaning.Phantom towered over him, seething.“How dare you?” he growled, his voice li

Phantom’s jaw tightened. For a moment, he didn’t answer. Then he let out a hard breath through his nose and stepped forward, facing Elijah squarely.“Even though I’m ruthless,” Phantom said firmly, “I’ve never murdered the innocent. I don’t do that. Nor do I traffic, rape, or touch women. Never.”He pointed a blood-stained finger toward the ground.“Yes, I beat people. I break bones. I punish those who cross the line. But don’t let them add things I don’t do. I don’t run like that.”There was a raw honesty in his voice — harsh, but real.One of the officers behind Dorson scoffed and stepped forward.“So you beat people?” he snapped.“And who gave you that right? Huh? Who gave you the power to take the law into your own hands?”Phantom’s eyes flared with rage. He turned sharply, stepping toward the officer, his voice venomous.“I’m the underworld boss.” He spat the words like fire. “You don’t tell me what to do. I answer to no one.”The tension roared back in like a tidal wave.Dorson

Outside, the standoff stretched tight as a drawn wire. Phantom Reiss stood at the center of his compound, his men tense behind him, facing down the five armed officers who had dared to walk into his territory.Superintendent Dorson didn’t budge. His stance was firm, voice cutting through the air with authority.“Cooperate, Phantom,” he said, slowly stepping forward. “Let’s make this smooth. You come with us, answer questions, and we won’t have to escalate.”He gave a sharp glance around the compound.“But if you resist—if you think this is some game—you’re going to find your base surrounded in less than five minutes.”Dorson’s hand dropped slightly toward the radio clipped to his vest.“SWAT is already two blocks out. Drones are circling. One word from me, and this place becomes a war zone.”The threat hung heavy in the night air.Phantom’s jaw tensed, eyes narrowing. His men shifted behind him, muttering nervously now. Some lowered their weapons, sensing the growing danger.Just then

Outside, although it was dark, there were lights making the place a bit bright. Phantom Reiss stepped out into the open, his boots crunching heavily against the gravel. The dim security lights from the compound buzzed above, casting flickering shadows over the yard.In front of him stood five uniformed officers, guns raised, eyes locked with purpose.Each one had their weapon trained directly at Phantom’s chest.Behind him, his men fanned out silently, weapons in hand but still lowered, unsure if this would escalate or dissolve.Superintendent Dorson stood at the front, tall, unflinching, hand resting near his holstered pistol.He didn’t blink as he spoke.“Phantom Reiss.” His voice was loud and steady.“You and your men are under arrest. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately.”Phantom’s lip curled. “Under arrest?” he repeated, voice rising with disbelief and fury.He took a single step forward, shoulders squared.“Are you sick, Dorson? Do you even know whose house you’re st

Meanwhile, Felix arrived back at the estate. After locking the car and walking in, he stepped into the familiar living room and immediately noticed someone seated on the couch, legs crossed, holding a bowl of popcorn and munching quietly. It was Betty. She looked relaxed and beautiful in a casual top and shorts, her hair tied back slightly, eyes on the large screen.She looked up, recognizing him instantly. The last time she’d seen Felix was when she barged in with panic, telling Elijah Sierra was missing.“Hey, evening,” Felix said with a polite nod, closing the door behind him.“Hi,” Betty replied with a small smile. “Want some?” she asked, holding the bowl of popcorn toward him.Felix shook his head gently. “No, thank you, I’m good,” he said, before moving to take a seat at the other end of the couch.Just then, Sierra walked into the hall, tying the straps of her apron around her waist. She paused the moment she saw Felix, her eyes scanning the hall as if expecting someone else to
