Betty glanced at Sierra and suggested, “What about some jewelry? Like a nice chain or bracelet? Might look good on him.”Sierra shook her head gently. “I’ve not really seen Elijah wear those kinds of things. He’s more of the simple and classy type. I think these are enough.”“Alright then,” Betty nodded with a grin. “Still, what you’ve picked is solid.”With that, the two of them continued walking toward the mall’s main payment counter, their hands filled with stylish branded bags and other goods.On the other side of the floor, Sophia had also gathered a few items—less than Sierra but still noticeable. She began walking in the same direction, unaware of who else might be headed there. Her heels clicked lightly as she adjusted her purse and made her way to the counter to process her payment.As Sierra walked forward toward the main counter, her steps slowed slightly. Her eyes locked onto a familiar figure just a few meters ahead which was Sophia“That lady?” she murmured to herself, e

“Elijah Westbrook?”“Yes. He just came out of a flower store by East Ridge Avenue, entered a black Prado. He’s with another man—probably a close aide or driver. They’re still parked.”“Good. Stay on him. We'll come there quickly.”The call ended. The man’s fingers moved swiftly over his phone screen, snapping a picture of the car and sending it in a flash.Elijah carefully opened the back door of the Prado and placed the beautifully wrapped bouquet—white and red roses mixed with some fresh lilies—gently onto the back seat. He closed the door quietly and glanced up at the sky; it was already getting darker, with the thick clouds hinting that rain could fall again soon.He checked the time on the car dashboard — 4:30 pm, almost brushing 5 pm. The day had moved faster than he expected.Without wasting time, he got into the driver’s seat, buckled up, and started the engine with a soft hum. Felix, who had been quietly scrolling on his phone, looked up and nodded as Elijah began driving out

As Elijah drove further, he suddenly spotted a small open area along the road—a place wide enough to pull off without causing suspicion.Without hesitation, he turned the steering, brought the Prado smoothly to a halt, killed the engine, and stepped out casually, leaving the driver’s door open.The man following him, surprised, immediately slowed down too, stopping a few meters behind, unsure what was happening.From inside his car, he watched Elijah.At first, he thought maybe Elijah was checking something on his car... but when he saw Elijah closing the door slowly and beginning to walk toward him—directly—his heart skipped a beat."Shit," the man muttered under his breath, quickly adjusting himself in the driver’s seat.He frowned hard, panic creeping in."Am I exposed? How? Was he monitoring me the whole time?"He kept his hand ready on the ignition, debating whether to drive off, but Elijah’s calm yet intimidating pace made it clear:Running might make it worse.Elijah's gaze was

The scarred man gritted his teeth furiously but stayed in place, glaring at Elijah with burning hatred, breathing heavily as if restraining himself.Elijah stood there, unbothered, a light smirk still on his face. His calmness only made them more unsettled."Tch," Elijah muttered, shifting his weight slightly on his heel, still relaxed. "If this is the best Phantom Reiss has, then maybe I should be disappointed already."The group stiffened hearing Elijah mention Phantom Reiss so casually.One of the rough-looking men stepped forward, pointing a thick finger at Elijah and barking, "How dare you mention boss's name with your filthy mouth?"Another, gripping a rusted pipe in his hand, spat on the ground and said angrily, "Let’s just beat him bloody here and now!" His voice was thick with rage.But immediately, one of the older, slightly smarter men grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly."No! Are you dumb?" he snapped. "Boss said bring him, not break him here. If we mess him u

His cold, sharp eyes locked onto Elijah's calm, unwavering face.There was a moment of chilling silence, the sound of the dogs barking faintly behind them filling the heavy air.Phantom frowned slightly, as if assessing Elijah from head to toe.The blood-stained singlet on his chest stuck awkwardly to his skin, his muscles tense, the brutal energy he carried unmistakable.Yet before him stood Elijah — unflinching, arms slightly loose at his sides, his expression unreadable, almost casual.Phantom dropped the stick to the ground with a loud thud, wiped his hands slowly on a dirty cloth nearby, and took two slow steps closer, the tension thickening with every move.Phantom stared at Elijah for a long moment before a twisted smile curved on his lips.He opened his arms wide slightly and said in a low, taunting tone,"Elijah Westbrook... welcome."Elijah remained calm, his sharp gaze surveying the room again — the cages, the brutal scene behind Phantom, the men standing like loyal wolves
Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 1
The rain was pouring heavily that night, drumming against the streets and rooftops with relentless force. A young man, his stylish hair plastered to his forehead, sprinted through the downpour, the rain soaking him to the bone. His old clothes clung to him as he ran towards the gate of the big house across the street. Bang! Bang! Bang! Reaching the large black gate, he knocked hard, the sound barely audible over the storm. He knocked again, louder this time, desperation creeping into his voice as he called out, "Come and open the gate! The rain is beating me—hurry up!” From the other side, a voice responded, gruff but amused, "Who wants to break the gate?" The gate creaked open, and the security guard peered out. "Oh, it's you," he said, recognizing the drenched figure. The young man didn’t wait for further conversation. He rushed through the gate, water splashing off him as he passed the guard. In the compound, under a white canopy, a sleek and elegant car—a lady’s car—

Elijah felt a sharp pain pierce his heart as Sophia’s words sank in. His face tightened with disbelief and anguish. "I disgust you? How, Sophia? Didn’t I try my best to do everything you requested?" he asked, his voice trembling with a mix of confusion and hurt.Sophia scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Requested? Try hard my foot. Are you the one taking care of me, or am I the one taking care of you, Elijah? Bold of you to think I'm in love with you." She sneered, her words biting. "I'm 25, and you're just 20. You're a kid, Elijah. Do you think I would ever be proud to point to a low, poor kid like you and call you my boyfriend? I'd be ashamed."Elijah stood there, stunned, each word cutting deeper than the last. He had known he was younger than Sophia, but he thought they had loved each other. After all, they had been dating for months, and she kept telling him his age never mattered—didn't that mean something? How she was keeping herself till they got married first. Wasnt that also somet

Elijah’s eyes darkened with frustration and anger, his chest tightening as Sophia’s words cut deeper. “I got some of those with my money too, Sophia! You can’t just take everything away from me!” he argued, his voice rising in anger. “You don’t get to tell me what I can or can’t take. I worked hard for what little I have!”But before he could say more, Damian stepped forward, his presence looming large as he towered over Elijah. With a smug grin, he placed a hand on Elijah’s chest and pushed him back. "Watch your tone, kid," Damian warned, his voice low and menacing. "You want to argue with her, you argue with me first. And trust me, you don’t want that." His eyes narrowed, his threat clear as he glared at Elijah.Elijah’s eyes filled with pain as he looked past Damian, locking his gaze on Sophia. His voice trembled,“Sophia, after everything we’ve been through, this is how you treat me? Like trash? Like I never mattered to you?”He took a shaky breath, his heart aching with betraya

"I know I've wronged you, Elijah," he said, his voice cracking as desperation bled into his tone. "Please… please help me get out of here. I beg you."Elijah didn’t flinch. He held Damian’s gaze, his face unreadable—until, suddenly, he broke into laughter. Cold, mocking laughter that echoed off the walls of the grimy cell block."Help you?" Elijah chuckled, stepping closer. "Damian… why would I save you… from the very place I personally put you in?"Damian’s eyes widened, his lips parting in shock. "W-What? What do you mean… by where you brought me?" he stammered.Elijah’s smile was calm, sharp. "That’s right," he said smoothly. "Everything… every step that led you here—it was all part of my plan. You see, I knew what you were doing. I watched you ruin others, abuse your power, lie, manipulate. You thought nobody saw, didn’t you? But I did. And I waited. Waited till the right moment to crush you under the very weight of your own sins.”Damian stumbled back a step, gripping the bars ti

As they stepped out of the office, Elijah’s eyes caught Felix already standing across the hallway with his arms crossed, waiting alertly.Upon seeing Elijah approach, Felix immediately straightened up.Elijah stopped in front of him. “I’m giving you a task,” he said firmly. “You’ll make sure this whole place—everything inside—is transformed in a week. Hire the best interior designers or whoever you need. Every single material in this station must be replaced. Floors, walls, chairs, desks—everything. It should look brand new and high quality. And if you need more money, let me know.”Felix nodded instantly. “Sure, brother. I’ll do so. You can count on me.”Elijah gave him a quick nod and turned, continuing his walk with Dorson by his side. Felix followed closely behind.They soon reached the side of the building where the other policemen were stationed. The officer who had escorted Elijah earlier was there too. As they saw their superior, Superintendent Dorson, all the policemen stood

As Elijah sat silently, staring at his phone screen while it rang, Superintendent Dorson chuckled mockingly and leaned back in his chair, clearly thinking he had the upper hand.“Now you’re quiet, huh?” Dorson smirked. “Thought so. Must be regretting that chairman story. You young people and your jokes—next thing you’ll say is you own half the city. Don’t worry, I won’t lock you up… yet.”He laughed again, smugly folding his arms. “You looked so confident before, now you look like someone who just realized he’s out of his depth.”Just then, Elijah’s phone screen lit up—Isla had picked up the video call.Her face came into view, seated at her sleek desk, her glasses perched delicately on her nose. Behind her, the Dominion Group’s logo gleamed brightly on the wall.“Yes, Master Elijah?” she said calmly, clearly on speaker as her voice echoed faintly through the phone.Dorson’s laughter froze midsentence. His eyes widened, brows furrowing in confusion as he leaned forward, staring at the

Dorson’s jaw tightened slightly at Elijah’s composed boldness, and the air between them grew heavier.Superintendent Dorson narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what exactly did you come here to discuss?”Elijah leaned back slightly in the chair and replied, “Before we get into that…” He paused and let his eyes drift slowly around the room. His voice was calm, but edged with quiet criticism. “When I walked in here, I saw how bad this place looks. It shouldn’t be this way—for a whole police station, with your name and rank tied to it.”Dorson raised a brow, watching him.Elijah continued, “The paint on the walls is peeling like it hasn’t been touched in years. The hallway smells like damp papers and sweat. I passed broken ceiling tiles, exposed wires near the light switch. Some of your officers looked like they haven’t had new uniforms since 2010. Even the floor tiles in the corridor were cracked. Superintendent, you’re a big man—this shouldn’t be your standard.”Dorson’s face tightened s
