Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 114
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

“But, Dad, what am I supposed to do?” Daniel stammered, panic creeping into his voice. “That’s your problem to solve,” Lawrence snapped. “I’ve given you more than enough chances, Daniel. You’ve proven that you don’t understand responsibility. So, you’ll either figure out how to recover that money, or you’ll learn what it’s like to live without my support. And if that takes a year or longer, so be it.” Daniel gulped, his face pale. “Dad, please...” “No,” Lawrence said firmly, his expression cold and resolute. “This is the line, Daniel. You’ve crossed it, and now you’ll deal with the consequences.” Lawrence exhaled sharply, clearly trying to rein in his temper. He reached for his phone and dialed the chef’s number. After a few rings, the chef answered, “Yes, sir?” “I’ll transfer the money to you directly,” Lawrence said, his voice clipped and firm. “Make sure everything on the list is bought and handled properly.” “Understood, sir. Thank you,” the chef replied. Lawrence ended the

As Sierra sat fuming, her phone buzzed again, its screen lighting up with Daniel’s name. She frowned deeply, holding the phone up for Elijah to see. “He’s calling again,” she said, her voice laced with frustration.Elijah’s eyes narrowed, his irritation clear. “Hand me the phone,” he said firmly, extending his hand.Sierra hesitated for only a moment before nodding and passing the phone to him. “Go ahead,” she said, leaning back and crossing her arms, waiting to see how Elijah would handle it.Elijah answered the call, his tone calm but deadly. “Hello.”Immediately, Daniel’s voice came through, loud and insistent. “Sierra, you need to—”“Look, Daniel,” Elijah cut him off sharply, his voice dripping with authority. “If you need money, go to TikTok’s office and demand your money from them. Don’t disturb her again with this nonsense.”Daniel stammered on the other end, caught off guard by the interruption. “I—”“I feel like smacking you at this moment,” Elijah continued coldly, his tone

Sophia stepped into Damian’s office, her black pencil skirt hugging her curves perfectly. Her bold red lipstick accentuated her full lips, and her sharp heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she entered. Her confident demeanor made heads turn wherever she went, and Damian was no exception.Damian’s face lit up with a sly smile as he saw her. Rising from his chair, he walked toward her with purpose, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. “You look stunning as always,” he said smoothly, his voice low.Sophia gave him a small smirk, adjusting the folder she was carrying. “You called for me?” she asked, her tone light but knowing.Damian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he reached behind her and turned the lock on the office door with a click. The sound sent a shiver of tension through the room. He leaned casually against his desk, gesturing for her to come closer.As Sophia moved forward, Damian reached out, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her to his side. His han

Sierra glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already 2 PM. She stretched a little and turned to Elijah, who was lounging comfortably on the bed. “I’m going to make noodles,” she said casually. “Hope you’ll eat?”Elijah smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’m hungry. I’m waiting,” he replied, leaning back and watching her.Sierra nodded with a small smile and got up, heading to the kitchen. Twenty minutes later, she returned with two plates in her hands. The aroma of the saucy noodles filled the room, making Elijah sit up eagerly.The noodles were vibrant and appetizing, coated in a rich, spicy stir-fry sauce. They were mixed with sautéed vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and green onions, along with tender pieces of chicken seasoned perfectly. The dish was garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, giving it a professional touch.Sierra handed Elijah a plate, then sat down beside him with her own. “Here you go,” she said with a smile.Elijah took a bite and his eyes lit up

Sierra leaned forward slightly, her brows furrowed in concern. “I’m listening. Did something go wrong? Financially or something else? Because if it’s money, I can help. I’m making good money now,” she said earnestly.Her father shook his head, a small smile forming on his lips. “No, Sierra. Our finances are fine,” he said reassuringly. “The issue isn’t about money. The thing is, your mom and I made a decision... we’ve decided that we’re going to leave this city.”“Huh?” Sierra’s eyes widened in shock. “Leave this city? To where? Why?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Her dadclasped his hands together, his expression calm but serious. “We’re shifting the business,” he explained. “We found that the next city has more potential for what we’re doing. I already have a lot of clients there, and moving will allow me to build even more connections.”Her mother chimed in, nodding in agreement. “Your dad is right, sweetheart,” she said. “It’s the best decision for the business and fo

On the large, elegant bed in their master bedroom, General Marcus Steel lay beside his wife, Elijah’s mother, Catherine Steel, his expression grave. The dim bedside lamp cast a warm glow over the room, but the air felt heavy with the weight of his thoughts.Marcus sighed deeply, running a hand over his face as he stared at the ceiling. “There are troubling times ahead, Catherine,” he began, his voice low and serious. “The intelligence reports I’ve been reviewing… they’re not looking good.”Catherine turned to him, her soft features etched with concern. “What is it, Marcus? What kind of dangers?” she asked gently, placing a comforting hand on his arm.He exhaled sharply, his brows furrowed. “Instability in the region. Threats of insurgency in neighboring areas, and whispers of internal unrest. If things escalate, this country could face serious challenges—political, economic, and even military.”Catherine ’s eyes widened slightly, but she kept her voice calm. “Is it that bad?”Marcus

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
