Meanwhile, at Sophia's place, a black Hyundai Elantra drove up to the gate and honked late into the rainy night. The security guard promptly opened the gate, allowing the car to drive in. The rain fell steadily, casting a glistening sheen over the driveway as the car made its way toward the house.

Sophia stood at the entrance, framed by the soft glow of the porch light. She wore a stunning blue nightgown that accentuated her figure, her beauty effortless and alluring even at this hour. In one hand, she held a half-full glass of red wine, and in the other, her phone.

The black Hyundai Elantra parked neatly beside her car, its engine purring to a stop. Moments later, the driver’s door opened, and Damian stepped out. Despite the rain soaking his suit jacket, he managed a smile as he spotted Sophia waiting for him.

Quickly, he shut the car door and hurried toward the house. As he approached, he didn’t hesitate, reaching out to pull Sophia into his arms. Without a word, he began kissing h

    His eyes widened in realization. It’s him. I’m sure it’s him. How? What is he doing here with Celestine?Zane’s chest rose and fell a bit faster.Zane stood rooted to the spot, watching the Prado as it disappeared into the evening traffic. His jaw tightened, and his brows pulled into a deep, brooding frown.“Wait…” he muttered to himself, his voice low and full of suspicion. “Is he… Celestine’s driver?”The thought swirled in his head like a storm. No, no, that doesn’t make sense. That means… that car belongs to her? He blinked, confusion morphing into something darker. If he’s just her driver, why didn’t he get down to meet her? Why was she the one to walk to him instead?Zane clenched his fists slowly, his lips twitching with restrained frustration. “Something’s off,” he murmured. “I don’t understand how, but I’ll find out.”He turned away from the street, his mind racing with possibilities, his pride stung. If that’s really him… if that’s the same guy that crossed me, working some

    "Hey, Ms. Valencia, I didn't expect your call—what's good?" Elijah’s voice came through the line, calm and mildly surprised."I'm good, Elijah. What about you?" Celestine responded, her voice smooth but with a tinge of relief."I'm okay, thank you," Elijah said sincerely.There was a brief pause before Celestine asked, "Where are you currently?""I'm on the street," Elijah replied. "I came to buy a few groceries for home. I'm done already though, about to head back. Why do you ask? Is everything okay?""You're with a car, right?" she asked lightly, almost too casually."Yes, I am. What's wrong?" Elijah's tone shifted slightly, growing more alert."Nothing much," Celestine said, glancing briefly toward Zane who stood awkwardly at a distance. "I just wanted you to pick me up. I'm not with my driver—I came alone.""Oh. No problem about that." Elijah’s voice warmed instantly. "Where are you?"She told him the exact name and location of the cinema, her tone measured."I know that place," E

    “Zane, what’s wrong?”He turned to her casually and replied, “What?”Celestine gestured subtly toward his hand on her lap and said, “What are you doing? You put your hand on me earlier, I took it off, and now you’ve placed it back again.”Zane gave a slight shrug, lowering his voice. “Come on, is this supposed to be an issue?”He reached out, trying to cup her chin gently, but Celestine drew back sharply.“Stop,” she said firmly, her tone clipped. “I don’t like it.”Zane frowned slightly, leaning closer. “What’s wrong? Why are you acting weird? We’re watching a movie — must we all just sit in silence and make it boring? Look around, people are doing all kinds of things, enjoying each other.”Celestine stared at him, unmoved, her lips pressed in a tight line. She didn’t say another word, simply turned her attention back to the screen, clearly unwilling to engage further.Zane, mistaking her silence for resignation, let out a faint smirk. He leaned back into his seat, waited a moment, t

    Meanwhile, Felix drove into the compound, parked Elijah’s BMW carefully, and made his way inside the house. As he entered the softly lit living room, he found Sierra seated comfortably on the sofa, legs crossed, her attention focused on her phone. She looked so at ease, dressed in one of her cozy oversized shirts, her hair up in a messy bun.Felix cleared his throat gently. “Good evening,” he greeted.Sierra glanced up and smiled slightly. ‘Welcome.”“Thank you, where’s big brother?”“He stepped out to get something,” Sierra replied, placing her phone down for a moment. “Why? Is something wrong?”Felix shook his head quickly, taking a few more steps into the room. “No, nothing actually. I just wanted to let him know that I’ve finished the job he gave me. By tomorrow, everything should be cleared.”Sierra’s brow lifted slightly. “What job did he give you?”Felix opened his mouth, hesitated a little, then scratched the back of his head. “Uhm, just something he asked me to handle for him

    “The future?” Elijah echoed, swirling the drink gently in his glass as he looked at her.Sierra shifted her weight onto one leg, her eyes dropping shyly to the floor before lifting back up to meet his gaze. “What about the future?” she asked quietly. Then, after a brief pause, she added, “Am I part of the future you were thinking of?”Elijah’s lips curled into a slow, teasing smirk. “You want to be part of my future?” he asked, eyes fixed on her face.A faint blush crept across Sierra’s cheeks as she gave a small, hesitant nod. “I do.”For a moment, Elijah didn’t say a word. He just stared at her, his expression unreadable, the weight of her answer pressing against the storm of thoughts already in his head.He smiled—softly, almost sadly—but said nothing.Because in his mind, everything rested on November 10th. That day would decide everything. If Sierra accepted FlibbityBoo, then maybe it meant she already belonged to that version of him. And if she rejected him...That answer would

    That same day, as the golden hue of evening settled over the city, Elijah pulled up to the university gates to pick up Sierra. She spotted his car immediately and waved as she walked toward it with a soft smile, her bag slung over one shoulder. Betty waved goodbye and went her separate way. Elijah stepped out to open the passenger door for Sierra, and she slid in with a tired but grateful sigh.“Three papers today,” she said, leaning her head back. “I’m exhausted.”“I figured,” Elijah replied with a small smile, handing her a cold bottle of water from the console. “That’s why I brought you home myself.”Sierra smiled at him again, her heart fluttering at how thoughtful he always was. He drove her home smoothly, the ride calm and filled with soft music and light chatter.The next night arrived swiftly, calm and breezy with a quiet charm in the air. Zane stood in his room, dressed in a clean, fitted casual outfit—a black designer shirt tucked slightly into dark jeans, finished with a sl
