Sierra leaned back in her seat, a smile lingering on her face. “Elijah? What’s with the sudden call?” she asked teasingly. “I’m running some errands. What about you?”“I just finished eating what I cooked,” Elijah said casually, his voice carrying a hint of pride.“You cooked?” Sierra asked, her tone skeptical. “What did you cook?”“Scrambled eggs with herbs, crispy bacon, toast, and fresh orange juice,” Elijah replied confidently.Sierra laughed softly. “I can already taste how awful it must be.”“What do you mean?” Elijah frowned, clearly offended. “I’m the best at cooking, Sierra. You don’t know what you’re missing.”“You, the best?” Sierra teased. “I highly doubt that. If your cooking is as good as your bragging, it’s probably a disaster.”Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. “One day, I’ll cook for you, and you’ll have to eat your words.”“We’ll see about that,” Sierra said, her voice playful.After a brief pause, Elijah shifted the conversation. “By the way, it’s been a while sinc

Sierra looked at the car that had collided with hers—a sleek, upgraded 2024 Fiat 500, its shiny front completely wrecked from the impact. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to process the situation. If Elijah had been there, he would have been utterly shocked, because stepping out of the Fiat was none other than Sophia Bennett—his ex-girlfriend. Sophia had also been out running errands and hadn’t expected her day to take such a turn. The door of her car swung open, and she stepped out. She glanced at the front of her car, her expression instantly souring as she took in the crumpled hood and smashed headlights. Instead of offering an apology, Sophia’s eyes flicked to Sierra and narrowed. Her lips curled into a sneer. “Are you blind?” she snapped, her tone dripping with accusation. “Who parks like that in the middle of the road?” Sierra, already shaken by the crash, frowned, trying to keep her temper in check. “I wasn’t parked in the middle of the road,” she replied firmly. “I was slowing

After a few rings, the call connected. Damian’s voice came through the line, calm but slightly distracted. “Sophia? What’s going on? I’m in the office.”“Damian,” Sophia said sharply, her tone brimming with anger and urgency. “I need you to come here right now.”“What?” Damian asked, clearly confused. “I told you, I’m in the office. I can’t just leave work. What’s going on?”Sophia clenched her jaw, her frustration boiling over. “I don’t care if you’re in the office! I need you here. Some person just slapped me—slapped me!—and I can’t deal with this alone. You have to help me handle this!”Damian groaned audibly on the other end of the line. “Sophia, are you serious? I have meetings and reports to finish. I can’t just drop everything because someone slapped you.”Sophia’s voice rose, her fury palpable. “Yes, you can, Damian! You must! You’re my business partner, and you’ve always said you’d support me. Well, now’s the time to prove it. Get over here!”Damian sighed heavily, clearly ex

About twenty minutes later, the tension between Sierra and Sophia still lingered heavily in the air, drawing the occasional glance from passersby. The sound of a car engine cut through the chatter as a sleek 2024 Honda Accord pulled up to the scene, its glossy black finish reflecting the midday sun.The car came to a stop near Sophia’s Fiat, and the driver’s door opened. Damian stepped out, still dressed in his sharp office suit, his tie slightly loosened from the rushed drive. His expression was a mix of annoyance and curiosity as he surveyed the scene, his eyes darting to the damaged cars and the growing crowd.“Damian!” Sophia cried, her voice shifting from confident to pleading as she hurried toward him. “Thank God you’re here.”Damian’s brows furrowed as he adjusted his tie, his tone clipped. “Sophia, what is going on? You dragged me out of work for this?”Sophia gestured dramatically toward the wrecked cars, her voice rising. “This girl rammed into me and then had the audacity t
Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 95
At that moment, Elijah hadn’t yet recognized Sophia or Damian as he approached the scene. His focus was on Sierra, the damaged cars, and ensuring she was okay. Similarly, neither Sierra, Sophia, nor Damian had realized it was Elijah walking toward them. The presence of the police officers beside him drew most of their attention, making Elijah’s identity temporarily overlooked.Sophia was too busy fretting over her car and Damian, and Damian was focused on trying to maintain his tough demeanor.Just then, Sierra noticed Elijah approaching, his calm demeanor instantly comforting her. A smile spread across her face as she stepped forward. “Elijah,” she called, her tone filled with relief. She started walking toward him.Hearing her, Damian and Sophia turned their heads in the same direction. The sight that met them left them stunned.“Gasp!” Sophia’s breath caught, and her body stiffened. Her eyes widened as she whispered, “Elijah Westbrook?” Her voice failed her for a moment, and she si

Sierra crossed her arms, her gaze cold as she looked at Damian. “This isn’t just about the money,” she said firmly. “It’s about her taking responsibility for her actions. She caused this and then tried to intimidate me instead of apologizing. You think throwing money at the problem will fix everything?”Damian swallowed hard, realizing he was losing control of the situation. “Look,” he said, his tone softening, “let’s not let this go any further. Whatever the cost, I’ll handle it. Just… let her go.”Elijah raised a hand, signaling the officers to pause. “Let her go,” he said calmly, his tone commanding but measured.The officers exchanged glances before nodding and releasing Sophia, who immediately stepped back, rubbing her wrists and glaring at Elijah and Sierra.Elijah’s attention shifted to Damian, his eyes cold and unyielding. “You want to settle this?” he asked, his voice sharp. “Fine. The cost for the damage is $25,000.”Damian’s jaw dropped, his face paling. “What?” he exclaime

Inside the Honda Accord, Damian gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white as he drove in silence. His jaw was clenched, and his frustration was palpable. The tension in the car was heavy, and Sophia could feel it radiating from him.After a moment, she glanced at him and said, “You seem annoyed.”Damian’s eyes flicked toward her briefly before returning to the road. “Of course, I’m annoyed,” he snapped. “Why wouldn’t I be? I just left the company in the middle of an important day to come here, only to end up blowing $25,000—just like that! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?”Sophia rolled her eyes, crossing her arms defensively. “You’re overreacting, Damian,” she said dismissively. “It’s not like I asked for this to happen. That girl was being completely unreasonable, and you’re acting like it’s all my fault.”“It is your fault, Sophia!” Damian shot back, his voice rising. “You’re the one who hit her car, and instead of handling it like an adult, you esc

Elijah held her gaze for a moment, his expression softening. The sincerity in her eyes touched something deep within him.He opened his mouth, wanting to ask, “What do you mean?” but as the words began to form, he hesitated. “What do y—” he said softly, stopping himself mid-sentence.Sierra noticed and turned to him, her brows furrowing slightly. “What?” she asked, her voice curious but gentle.Elijah shook his head, a faint smile crossing his lips. “Nothing,” he said, his tone lighter now. After a brief pause, he added, “I appreciate it. Really.”Sierra nodded, her own lips curling into a small, shy smile. She turned her gaze back to the road ahead, and Elijah did the same, his focus shifting fully to driving.Soon, Elijah pulled up in front of Sierra’s house. He stepped out and helped her bring the bags from the trunk, setting them down on the porch. As they stood there, he glanced at her with a small smile.“I’ll watch your live tonight,” he said warmly. “Your career is about to ch

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

"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

At New Ember Police Division 9, a black car rolled smoothly into the parking lot. The vehicle came to a stop near the entrance, drawing a few curious glances from officers nearby.The driver’s door opened, and Elijah Westbrook stepped out, dressed sharp as always, exuding an effortless aura of power and control. Felix exited from the passenger side, scanning the area subtly as he moved to join Elijah. The two men exchanged a brief look before walking toward the station’s glass doors.The nameplate above the building read, “New Ember Police Division 9 – Justice with Dignity."As Elijah and Felix stood just outside the station doors, Elijah reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. With a few swift taps, he dialed the officer’s number.The line rang once before it was picked up.“Hello?” the familiar voice of the policeman came through.Elijah spoke smoothly, “It’s Elijah Westbrook. I’ve arrived at the station.”“Oh—yes, sir!” the officer responded quickly, the tone of his voice

Phantom stepped closer, slowly, his boots clicking softly on the concrete floor. “Where?” he asked, voice calm but deadly. “And when?”The man swallowed hard. “About two nights ago. I was supposed to do a small job when I saw him—he got down from this sleek car, wearing nice clothes and all… so I knew he must have cash. I followed him, waited for the right time, and tried to rob him but… he stopped.”“But?” Phantom Reiss asked sharply, his tone already dangerous.The man lowered his head. “But… he beat me somehow. Quick. Strong. Before I knew it, I was on the ground and he just… walked away.”Smack!Phantom’s palm connected with the man’s cheek in one swift, vicious motion. The sound cracked through the room. The man stumbled sideways with a grunt, clutching his face.“What do you mean he beat you?” Phantom’s voice was laced with fury.The man dropped to his knees immediately, head bowed. “I’m sorry, boss… I’m sorry…”Phantom glared down at him, the dogs behind him still growling lowl

A few minutes passed as Elijah and Felix sat quietly in the car, then Elijah’s phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw the same number calling back.He answered swiftly. “Hello?”The policeman’s voice came through. “Yes, Mr. Westbrook. We checked—someone named Damian Cresswell was indeed brought here. He’s been in the holding cell since yesterday. Actually, we’re about to proceed with his case today.”Elijah gave a slow nod. “Is your station head around?”“Yes, sir. He’s in his office now.”Elijah’s expression sharpened. “Alright, I’m coming around then.”Elijah hung up and glanced at Felix. “Confirmed. He’s there. Let’s go.”Sierra and Betty finally pulled into the bustling lot of one of the city’s largest and most luxurious shopping malls. Its wide entrance buzzing with people going in and out, arms full of bags.Sierra smoothly parked her new car, the engine purring to a stop as she turned the key and unbuckled her seatbelt.“Whew! This place looks packed,” Betty said, already eyeing

Sierra drove for about twenty minutes, until she reached a busy street corner where Betty was already waiting, her phone in hand and her shades halfway down her nose. As soon as Sierra pulled up, Betty’s face lit up."Get in!" Sierra called with a grin, and Betty eagerly hopped into the passenger seat.The moment she settled in, Betty’s jaw dropped as she looked around the sleek, polished interior. “Wait—hold up. Whose car is this, Sierra?”“Mine,” Sierra said casually, one hand on the wheel, the other adjusting the music.“Yours?” Betty blinked in disbelief. “Ah, really? You bought a car?!”Sierra nodded with a small smile. “Yeah. Well… technically I paid like one percent of it. Elijah did the rest. He said it’s a gift.”Betty's mouth flew open. “What?! Elijah just gifted you a whole car? This is insane!” She ran her fingers along the dashboard, eyes wide. “This is so beautiful, my God. Girl, this interior? The smell? I feel like I should be paying rent just to sit in here.”Sierra l
