Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 108
That night, as Sierra lay in bed, the events of the day played on a loop in her mind. Elijah’s words, his touch, and their kiss replayed with vivid clarity. Her heart fluttered each time the memory resurfaced, and though she tried to push it aside, it lingered, weaving itself into her dreams. As sleep finally overtook her, her dreams became a mix of reality and fantasy. She found herself back in Elijah’s car, his warm gaze locked on hers, his hand brushing her cheek. The kiss they shared replayed, but in her dream, it grew more intense, his voice whispering words that made her heart race. Her dream shifted, becoming more vivid, almost tangible. She saw his hand on her thigh, felt the warmth of his breath near her ear, and heard his deep voice saying her name in a way that sent shivers down her spine. The sensations felt so real that her body reacted instinctively, and she stirred restlessly in her sleep. When Sierra woke up in the middle of the night, her cheeks were flushed, and sh

Elijah quickly tidied up his home in preparation for Sierra’s visit. He arranged the living room neatly, adjusted a few throw pillows, and ensured everything was spotless. Afterward, he brushed his teeth, took a refreshing shower, and dressed in a casual but stylish outfit—a light button-down shirt paired with well-fitted trousers. Feeling ready, he settled in the hall, reviewing the company's analytics on his laptop. Soon, the sound of the doorbell rang, accompanied by a small notification on his phone showing the live feed from his security camera. Sierra’s face appeared on the screen, her soft smile brightening his day. Elijah smiled and got up, pressing the control to open the big gate automatically. He walked over to the main door and opened it just as Sierra approached. She stood there looking radiant, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit—a white tucked-in blouse paired with high-waisted denim jeans that flattered her figure. Her hair was styled loosely, falling over her shou

“Young master,” Isla’s voice came through briskly. “I just wanted to inform you that I’ve released the news about the party and the singer selection process. It’s already live across all platforms.” Elijah nodded subtly, keeping his voice low. “Alright, thanks for the update,” he said, deliberately keeping the conversation short. “Of course, sir. Let me know if you need anything else,” Isla replied. “Will do,” Elijah said before quickly hanging up, not wanting to delve deeper into the topic with Sierra sitting across from him. He placed the phone back on the table and leaned back in his chair, masking any trace of the conversation with a relaxed smile. Sierra, still engaged in her phone conversation, barely noticed, only glancing up briefly before returning to her messages. Elijah smirked lightly to himself, satisfied that she hadn’t picked up on anything unusual. As Sierra was engrossed in her conversation, FlibbityBoo sent another message: “Alright, I won’t keep you too long. W

She smiled nervously but felt reassured by his words. Seeing his calm confidence helped ease the tension in her chest. “Thank you, Elijah,” she said sincerely. “For pushing me to do this.”Elijah smirked, tilting his head slightly. “You don’t need to thank me, Sierra. I’m just doing what a good friend does—believing in you.”Her smile widened, and she couldn’t help but feel a spark of hope as they both sat there.As Sierra glanced down at her phone, likely checking over her submission again, Elijah subtly pulled out his own phone. He quickly typed a message to Isla:“Sierra has filled out her application for the lead singer spot. Here are her details:Full Name: Sierra LaneNumber: [He Inserted Number]TikTok URL: [He Inserted URL].”Elijah then glanced at Sierra, who was still focused on her phone, unaware of his actions. Casually, he tilted his phone and took a quick picture of her sitting there, looking thoughtful and radiant in the soft light of the room. He added the image to the

Celestine raised an eyebrow, her professional demeanor never faltering. “I’ve seen the headlines,” she replied. “The $1 million donation to orphanages and the singing contest. It’s all over the news.”Marcellus nodded, slipping his sunglasses down slightly to look at her more directly. “They’re creating quite the buzz. A move like this—it’s bold and strategic. Not just philanthropy, but branding. Dominion is positioning itself as a leader with values, and it’s working.”Celestine tilted her head, considering his words. “It’s smart,” she admitted. “They’re gaining public favor while keeping their name at the forefront. People are eating it up.”Marcellus smiled faintly, his gaze thoughtful. “It’s a tactic we could learn from. The public loves a story, Celestine—something to inspire them. Keep that in mind as you handle things while I’m away.”“I will,” she said confidently, her tone calm yet resolute. “But Dominion’s move has raised the bar for all of us. If they keep this up, they’ll

In Elijah's bedroom, the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. The lights were turned off, and the curtains were drawn, plunging the room into a dim ambiance illuminated only by the soft glow of the large-screen TV mounted on the wall. A Netflix movie was playing, its eerie soundtrack filling the room.Elijah sat comfortably on the bed, dressed casually, while Sierra was nestled close by his side. On the nightstand beside them was a bottle of red wine and two glasses. Elijah reached over, picked up the bottle, and poured a glass for each of them, handing one to Sierra with a small smile.The movie on the screen grew tense—a suspenseful horror film filled with haunting music, jump scares, and ominous shadows creeping through dark hallways. A sudden loud thud in the movie made Sierra flinch slightly, her eyes widening. She set her glass down on the bedside table and turned to Elijah. “This is scary,” she said, her voice tinged with nervousness. “I’m already afraid!”Elijah glanced at her,

Daniel shuffled into the washroom, his steps sluggish as he fought off the remnants of sleep. The cool tiles under his feet jolted him awake slightly as he turned on the faucet. Splashing cold water onto his face, he let out a low groan, the refreshing sensation helping him shake off his grogginess. He grabbed a towel, patting his face dry before reaching for his toothbrush.After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth thoroughly, he stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. His reflection looked as tired as he felt, but there was no time to dwell on it. Tossing the towel onto the counter, he exited the washroom.He made his way out of his bedroom and down the hallway. As he descended the staircase, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the kitchen, but he ignored it, heading straight to the parlor.As Daniel entered the parlor, he saw his father, Lawrence Everhart, sitting on one of the elegant sofas, a cup of coffee in hand. Standing beside him was the family chef, ho

They hesitated. The first man responded again, carefully."There were additional logistics tied to new equipment, staffing expansions, and an upgraded IT infrastructure."Celestine didn’t look convinced."Then it should’ve been noted more clearly. The report lacks transparency.”She turned the last page slowly, then looked up."So, basically, this entire file is a mixture of carelessness, vague justifications, and missing pieces. And you’re handing it to me as proof of discrepancies in my father’s company?"No one said a word.Celestine leaned back slightly, her fingers tapping the file softly."I expected better from all of you.”Finally, the one who had adjusted his tie earlier, cleared his throat and leaned forward, his voice measured but tinged with a cautious edge. “Sorry to say this, Ms. Valencia, but… most of the recent mistakes here—they’re your fault.”Celestine’s eyes snapped to him, narrowing slightly. “My fault?” Her tone was sharp, incredulous, cutting through the room l

The interior was stunning—wide glass panels, elegant lighting. Several workers moved about, men and women all dressed sharply, focused on their tasks. There was a calm yet purposeful energy in the air.Elijah leaned toward Felix and spoke in a low voice, “You’ll wait here. I’ll go in. When I’m done, I’ll come find you.” He tossed the Prado keys to him. “Be careful.”Felix caught the keys and gave a small nod. “Okay, brother.”Elijah continued with Celestine, heading toward a large frosted glass door guarded by security. As they approached, the security guard stepped aside and opened it for Celestine.“If you need me inside, just press the button, boss,” he said.Celestine nodded without a word and walked in, Elijah right behind her.As they walked in, Elijah took in the interior of the boardroom — a spacious, elegantly furnished room with a large round table in the center. Seated around it were five men, all dressed in sharp suits. Some had laptops open before them, others held tablet

Soon, the black Toyota Prado rolled up to the grand gates of the Valencia estate. The security stationed at the entrance got up holding his gun. One of the guards stepped forward, took a brief glance at the driver’s seat, and upon seeing Elijah behind the wheel, he gave a slight nod and signaled to the others.Without delay, the gates slowly parted open.The guard waved them through respectfully. “Welcome, sir.”Elijah gave a short nod in return and drove inside, the Prado gliding smoothly along the paved driveway. Felix, seated beside him, looked around quietly, taking in the environment with awe.Elijah reached for his phone, unlocked it with a quick swipe, and tapped into his messages. He typed a short text to Celestine:“I’m here.”He hit send and leaned back slightly in his seat, glancing at the entrance of the house with his usual composed look. Felix sat up straight beside him, adjusting his shirt and looking around curiously, still impressed by the luxury surrounding them.Soo

Isla smiled lightly and replied, “Yes, I did. And I’ve already arranged for our field team to go around and verify the current state of each orphanage. They’ll bring back updated feedback before we proceed.”Elijah nodded in approval. “Alright,” he said, then went back to reviewing the list carefully until he got to the end. He set the tablet down. “So currently I’m supposed to add my own million dollars, right?”Isla nodded respectfully. “Yes, young master.”Elijah leaned back slightly. “Alright. I’ll transfer a million dollars into the company account tonight.”“When are you planning to begin the donation runs?” he asked.“It will be on Thursday, master,” Isla responded.Elijah nodded again. “Alright then. I think I’ll soon have a meeting with the board members here.”“The board?” Isla’s eyes widened slightly. “You’re finally going to reveal your identity?”Elijah smirked faintly. “Depends. I can’t tell yet. I’ll know soon.”Isla simply bowed her head a little. “Alright then, master

As Elijah walked out of the room, he headed down the hallway only to find Felix already awake, standing by the stairway in a loose shirt and shorts, rubbing sleep from his eyes.“Morning, boss,” Felix greeted with a small smile. “You got anything I can help you with today?”Elijah shook his head lightly. “Nah, not today. I’m just getting ready to head out—got some meetings and work stuff to handle in town.”Felix hesitated for a moment, then said, “Can I come with you?”Elijah raised an eyebrow slightly. “You want to come along?”“Yeah,” Felix nodded. “I don’t really want to just sit around the house all day. Plus… it’ll help me know more, you know? Learn stuff.”Elijah looked at him for a second, then gave a small nod. “Alright then,” he said. “Go get yourself ready.”Felix grinned. “Yes, boss,” he said quickly before turning and heading back to his room.About half an hour later, Elijah came down the stairs dressed sharply in a designer outfit. Felix followed shortly after, looking

It was pretty late, Felix got up and stretched, yawning as he glanced at the time. "Goodnight," he muttered before heading upstairs to his room to sleep.Elijah remained downstairs, seated on the couch with his laptop open and his phone beside him, busy responding to emails and reviewing some documents. The soft tapping of rain outside continued, steady and rhythmic. Sierra stood up and moved around the living room, closing all the windows and carefully pulling the curtains shut to cover the glass panes.“It’s still raining,” she said softly as she secured the last window.Elijah glanced at the time. It was already minutes past 11 p.m. He shut his laptop and placed it aside, picking up the remote to turn off the TV.“Might rain till tomorrow or stop around midnight. Anyway, it’s late,” he said, getting to his feet.“Let’s go.”Sierra nodded, adjusting her clothes a bit as they both walked toward the staircase.When they got upstairs, Sierra instinctively moved toward the guest room sh

Just then, Nathaniel’s phone buzzed again—a message notification. He tapped it open, and there it was: a clear image of Elijah Westbrook’s license photo attached to the car registration.His eyes narrowed instantly.It was him. No mistake. The same man who had humiliated him that night—dismantled his plans, ruined his pitch in front of everyone, and walked away like it meant nothing.Nathaniel stared at the picture for a few long seconds, his jaw clenched, fingers tightening around his phone. The rain picked up, dripping onto the screen, but he didn’t move.He swiped the rain off his screen, his lips curling ever so slightly. “So it’s really you,” he muttered, a dangerous glint in his eyes.His jaw tightened as thoughts swirled in his mind.“Could he be part of the Valencia family?” he murmured to himself. It would explain how he was sitting at the same VIP table with Celestine, talking business like an insider. But then Nathaniel frowned.“Westbrook…” he muttered. “Different surname.

Soon, Elijah arrived home. The rain was falling properly now, steady and rhythmic. He parked his car, stepped out into the wet evening, and made his way to the door. Pressing the bell, he waited a second before the door opened to reveal Sierra.She stood in a neat skirt and a soft-fitting top, her hair loosely pinned, her presence warm and welcoming. She smiled and hugged him lightly, saying, “Welcome.”Elijah nodded, stepping inside as she closed the door behind him.As he walked into the living room, he spotted Felix seated comfortably, watching the television. Upon seeing Elijah, Felix immediately stood up, straightening himself.“Good evening, brother!” he greeted respectfully.Elijah gave a nod. “Sit down,” he said casually, then turned to Sierra. “Did you do your live?”Sierra nodded, brushing her hair behind her ear. “Oh yes, I actually ended it not long ago. It was right after that I called you.”“Alright,” Elijah replied. “I’ll be back. Let me change my clothes.”“Okay,” Sier

Inside, Sierra was curled up on the couch, watching a movie when the doorbell rang. She reached for the remote and switched the screen to the security feed, immediately spotting Felix outside.Her expression shifted slightly before she stood up, smoothing down her skirt and walking to the door. With a quiet breath, she unlocked it and pulled it open.Felix had been about to call out "Brother" when his gaze landed on Sierra. He froze, clearly not expecting to see her here again. But within seconds, he masked his surprise with a polite smile."Good evening," he said smoothly.Sierra gave a small nod before stepping aside to let him in. She closed the door behind him, watching as he glanced around briefly before turning back to her."Is boss around?" Felix asked respectfully. He had no doubt that Sierra was Elijah’s woman, so he made sure to address her with the proper deference."No," Sierra replied. "He went out for a meeting, but he’ll be back soon."Felix nodded, moving towards the c
