As Sierra finished her last bite, the tension between them was thick. She kept glancing out the window, watching as Daniel parked his car and stepped out. He adjusted his suit jacket and glanced at the restaurant, his expression determined.

Outside, Daniel glanced around with a straight face, his hands in his pockets. His brows furrowed as he muttered to himself, “What’s she even doing here at this hour? What happened to all the other restaurants in this city?”

His eyes wandered, landing on a sleek BMW parked nearby. He walked over, running his hand along its polished surface.

“This is beautiful,” he murmured, admiring the car’s elegance and design. Unbeknownst to him, it was the same car that belonged to Elijah, the man he had almost fought the previous night.

A sudden wave of frustration surged through him as he sighed angrily, shook his head, and headed toward the restaurant entrance.

“He’s coming in,” Sierra whispered, her voice barely audible as she spotted Daniel approaching.

    Celestine’s eyes widened. For a moment, she looked genuinely stunned. Then she shook her head lightly, as if trying to clear the sudden rush of thoughts.Elijah watched her for a second longer, then released her without another word. He turned away, walked back to the chair, and sat down calmly.“So,” he said evenly, “what’s the problem?”Celestine cleared her throat, straightening herself as she returned to her seat as well. “I’ll need you to escort me,” she said. “I’ll be traveling.”“Traveling?” Elijah frowned slightly. “Escort you? Why?”“Nothing serious,” she replied. “I just want you to be there. I’m attending a conference meeting, and I want you with me.”Elijah shook his head slowly. “That’s not possible. I just returned from a trip. I can’t travel anymore.”“You can,” Celestine said coolly. “Have you forgotten I’ve employed you? Meaning you can’t disobey what I request.”Elijah’s gaze hardened just a little. He shook his head again. “For this one, I’ll have to.” Then he added

    Elijah froze when he saw the caller ID.Celestine Valencia.How is she calling me immediately I arrived in the city?He let out a slow breath, then answered.“Hello.”Celestine’s voice came through, calm and unmistakably firm. “Elijah. Meet me.”He straightened slightly. “Meet you? Where? Why?”“At my house,” she replied. “I need to talk to you about something.”Elijah nodded faintly, though she couldn’t see it. “Alright. Let’s do it tomorrow then.”“No,” Celestine said without hesitation. “Today. Right now.”Elijah frowned. “Right now? Come on—I just returned from a trip. I’m still at the airport. I’m tired, I haven’t even gone home to rest.”“I’ll send a driver to pick you up,” she replied smoothly. “You can rest in the car on your way.”That made him pause.She hadn’t even acknowledged what he said—only adjusted around it.“No need,” Elijah replied shortly. “I’m coming.”He ended the call before she could say anything else.Elijah lowered the phone and looked at Felix. “Drive to th

    Shadow was about to answer when he said, “She was around just now. I guess she might be outside—”The door opened at that moment.Jessica walked in.She was dressed neatly, thoughtfully—nothing loud, but clearly chosen with care. Her hair was done, her posture composed. When her eyes landed on Elijah, dressed and ready with his bag by his side, she paused for half a second, then offered him a light, restrained smile.She didn’t go to him first.Instead, she walked straight to Phantom and wrapped her arms around him. “Uncle,” she said softly.Phantom chuckled under his breath and patted her back once, firm and protective. “You should take care of yourself,” he said. “If you need anything, give me a call.”She nodded. “I will.”Then she turned to Elijah. “By the way, I’ll go with you all to the airport.”Elijah let out a small chuckle. “You don’t have to stress yourself.”“No,” she said quickly, shaking her head. “My dad is driving, so there’s no problem joining.”Elijah looked at her f

    Jessica froze where she stood.The embarrassment hit her all at once. Her shoulders stiffened, her confidence draining away as reality settled in. Her lips trembled slightly, words catching behind them as she struggled to breathe evenly. She couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes anymore.Slowly, her gaze dropped to the sand beneath the shallow water, waves washing over her feet like they were trying to pull the moment away.Her mouth shivered again before she finally spoke, her voice barely above the sound of the sea.“I love you.”Elijah stared at her, stunned, the words taking a moment to sink in. His brows drew together slowly as he searched her face.“Is that why you kissed me?” he asked quietly. “Is this the surprise you had for me?”Jessica nodded, immediately shaken. “I’m sorry,” she said quickly, her voice unsteady. “I didn’t plan it like this. I just—” She swallowed hard. “If I didn’t do it today, there was no guarantee I’d ever get the chance. You’re leaving. You’re always

    Jessica pulled neatly into an open space close to the line of palm trees and turned off the engine. For a moment, the music from outside filled the car completely, bass thudding through the doors like a second heartbeat.She stepped out first, stretching slightly, then Elijah followed, the sand crunching softly under his shoes as he closed the door behind him.The moment they moved away from the car, the **energy of the beach hit fully**.To their right, a group of young people had formed a loose circle around a portable speaker, laughing loudly as they danced barefoot in the sand, drinks lifted high, their shadows jumping with the rhythm. A few meters away, couples sat close to each other on spread-out towels, shoulders touching, fingers intertwined, murmuring things meant only for the two of them as the waves rolled in and out.Closer to the shoreline, children ran back and forth, shrieking whenever the water chased their feet, while a man knelt to help a little girl build a crooked

    As they got into Jessica’s car, she looked at Elijah and asked, “Do you want to drive?”Elijah smiled and shook his head. “Come on, no. It’s late, and I’m not familiar with the streets like that. You drive. By the way, are we going to that same stall as last time?”Jessica shook her head. “No. This is just a night drive. We can stop anywhere. Are you okay with that?”Elijah nodded. “No problem.”She started the car and drove out. After about ten minutes on the road, Jessica slowed down and stopped near a small spot where ice cream was being sold. “Let’s get some here.”Elijah nodded, and they both got down. They bought two ice creams, Jessica paid, and they returned to the car, eating quietly. “This tastes really nice,” she said.Elijah nodded in agreement, then looked at her. “So, what work do you do?”“I’m a student. We’re on holidays now,” Jessica replied. “Aside from that, I do online writing. I make some money from it—not much, but it’s good for me.”“That’s very nice,” Elijah sa
