Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 190
Elijah's eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the morning light. He blinked a few times, instinctively reaching toward the other side of the bed—only to find it empty. His brows furrowed.Sierra wasn’t there.His gaze shifted, noticing the used drip now removed and placed neatly on the nightstand. That was enough to get him fully awake. He sat up, running a hand through his hair before swinging his legs off the bed.Where did she go?Pushing himself up, he walked out of the room, his bare feet making soft sounds against the floor. As he stepped into the hallway, a faint but distinct aroma drifted toward him.Food?His eyes narrowed slightly as he followed the scent. The closer he got to the kitchen, the stronger it became—warm, rich, and unmistakably homemade. Sierra was cooking.Elijah walked toward the kitchen, the scent of rich, simmering stew filling the air. As he stepped inside, he saw Sierra standing by the stove, her back to him, completely focused on what she was making.His gaze

Sierra’s hand froze mid-stir. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt her face heat up even more. "W-What?" She turned her head slightly to look at him, eyes wide.Elijah just shrugged, like he hadn’t just thrown her into complete disarray. "I’m just curious," he said, his gaze locked onto hers. "Every time I look at you, you just get prettier."Sierra swallowed hard, gripping the spoon in her hand tighter. "I—uhm—Elijah…" She couldn’t even form a proper response.Elijah chuckled at her reaction, clearly amused. "I should say it more often," he mused, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "You look cute when you're flustered.”Sierra quickly turned her attention back to the pot, trying to focus, but her heart was racing too fast to concentrate.Elijah’s eyes trailed down to the silky nightgown Sierra was wearing. His gaze darkened slightly with curiosity and something else she couldn’t quite place."You took your bath this morning and changed into this?" he asked, his voice low.Si

Sierra nodded. “Yeah, she’s with me now for the time being. You know she rents, so I figured it’s better for her to stay with me now that my parents aren’t around.”Elijah frowned slightly. “Where are your parents?”“They relocated, so I’m the one here alone,” she replied.“Really? Relocated?” He asked, his frown deepening.Sierra nodded. “Yeah, due to business and—”Before she could finish, Elijah’s phone began ringing.Elijah brought out his phone and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen. He hesitated for a second before answering."Hello, who's this?" he asked.A familiar yet unexpected voice came through the line. "Hello, Elijah. How are you? This is Sierra’s mom."Elijah's brows lifted in surprise. His gaze immediately shifted to Sierra, who was focused on the stove, unaware of the conversation. The timing was uncanny—they had just been talking about her parents, and now her mother was calling."Hello, Mom," Elijah quickly responded, adjusting his tone.Mrs. Lane’s voice
Rise Of The General's Forgotten Son Chapter 193
Sierra’s head shot up, eyes wide as she turned to look at Elijah, silently wondering if he was about to tell her mom about the Chris situation.Elijah met her gaze, reading the silent plea in her eyes, but instead of mentioning anything, he smirked and leaned against the counter. “Oh, I was talking about her performance last night,” he said smoothly. “She was supposed to rest, but instead, she’s up and cooking.”Sierra let out a breath of relief, but she still gave him a small glare for scaring her like that.Mrs. Lane chuckled. “Ah, I see. That does sound like my Sierra.”Mrs. Lane’s tone softened, turning serious. “Elijah, I need to ask you something.”Elijah straightened. “Go ahead, Mom.”“Please… protect Sierra for me,” she said, her voice laced with emotion. “She’s my only child. I know she’s stubborn and doesn’t always think things through, but she has a good heart. I won’t be there to watch over her, and it scares me. I need to know she’s safe.”Sierra’s breath hitched slightly

Betty was fast asleep on the bed, curled up under her blanket, when her phone suddenly rang. Groggily, she reached for it, blinking at the screen before answering. "Sierra? Sierra, how are you? Oh my sister, are you fine?" Betty’s voice was laced with concern, immediately shaking off her sleepiness. A soft chuckle came from the other end. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Sierra assured her. Betty sighed in relief. "When Elijah texted yesterday that you were fine, I wanted to speak with you, but he said he was out getting medication, and I shouldn’t worry you while you were being treated.” "Yes, I was receiving treatment," Sierra confirmed. "My phone is even damaged—all cracked and everything. I'll change it today." "Are you coming home?" Betty asked, sitting up now. "Not yet. I have other things to do, so I might be with Elijah for a while." "Alright. So what about that idiot Chris? What happened to him?" she asked, irritation creeping into her voice. "I can't tell for sure, but I think E

Elijah nodded, running a hand through his hair as he exhaled. “You’re right… forgive me.”He reached out, gently taking her hands in his. His touch was warm, steady—different from the intensity from moments ago. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice softer now. “It won’t happen again, alright?”Sierra looked at him, feeling a strange mix of emotions. There was guilt in his eyes, and somehow, that made her feel guilty too. She swallowed, nodding. “Alright.”She pulled her hands back, standing up. “The food is ready. Let’s go eat.”Elijah gave a small nod, watching her for a second before finally getting up to follow her.They walked to the dining hall in silence, the tension from earlier still lingering in the air.Sierra pulled out a chair. “Sit,” she said, her voice neutral.Elijah sat down, watching her as she moved around the dining table. She soon returned with the plates of food, carefully placing them in front of him. The rich aroma of the stew filled the space, making it clear she ha

"Oh, I felt it would be good for you to be with Elijah throughout the week, at least to help you relax and all," Betty said with a sly smile. "I’ll take care of the house nicely for you."Elijah, who was still eating, didn’t even lift his head. He acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.Sierra turned to Betty with wide eyes. "You… ah, stay for a week as how?"Betty shrugged casually. "Just like that. You clearly need a break. I mean, look at you—after everything that happened, you deserve to rest, and Elijah is rich and capable, so why not?”Sierra scoffed. "Betty, please, what kind of idea is that? I didn’t say I was moving in. I just needed some clothes for today!"Betty rolled her eyes. "Oh please, Sierra. You’re always acting like you don’t like what’s good. What’s even wrong with staying here for a few more days?"Elijah finally exhaled, set his fork down, and looked up. "Please, can I have a little bit of peace?”Elijah looked at both of them, shaking his head slightly before turni

Meanwhile, at the New Ember Police Station, activity was buzzing near the front entrance of the old administrative building.Felix, dressed with sleeves rolled neatly up to his elbows, stood beside a well-dressed woman in her late twenties — the interior designer he had contacted. She wore stylish glasses, a jumpsuit, and held a tablet in one hand, taking notes as she eyed the compound with a sharp, professional gaze.A few officers curiously glanced their way as they talked, the atmosphere already different from the usual rigid police setting.Then came the sound of tires rolling in.A white box van pulled into the station’s courtyard, its back doors swinging open a few moments later to reveal a fully loaded interior of furniture and renovation materials.Inside were neatly wrapped desks, filing cabinets, modern chairs, and even decorative lighting pieces and paint buckets stacked with precision.Felix stepped forward with a smile, nodding to the team inside the van.“Alright, start

This is the main 259Sierra sat still after sending her message, eyes fixed on the screen, feeling a knot in her chest. She’d just told FlibbityBoo—without saying it directly—that she was in love with Elijah. The silence on the chat was longer this time.Until…Ping."Look Sierra, you're making a mistake."She blinked, sitting up slightly."Today is already 29th October 2024. We'll be entering November soon… and then December. The year will be over.""And you're telling me you're still waiting for someone to come propose?""What if he likes someone else?""What if he’s not even thinking of making a move?"Her heart clenched. But the messages continued."Sierra, this even shows that he’s not serious about you.""Because when a man knows what he wants, he acts.”Then came a pause, followed by another message that made her breath catch."Let me tell you something… I’m not going to hide anymore.""I love you, Sierra.""Deeply. I’ve hidden it behind this name — FlibbityBoo — for too long."

Hey guys, there was a mistake, I uploaded 259 for 258. Will fix it. This is the main chapter 258The first image showed a young man standing beside a sleek matte-black Rolls-Royce, one hand in his pocket, the other adjusting the button on his velvet blazer. He wore black sunglasses, and his expression was relaxed but powerful. The sky behind him was cloudy, but it made him look even more dramatic — as though he belonged to the storm.The second photo captured him leaning on the balcony of a high-rise penthouse, city lights glowing in the background. He wore a simple white designer shirt, the sleeves rolled halfway. A wristwatch gleamed on his wrist, and his gaze was locked on something in the distance, giving him an air of mystery.The third image was taken at what looked like a luxury car expo — the young man was standing casually beside a red Lamborghini, dressed in a dark green fitted polo and jeans that sat perfectly on his athletic frame. His face was clean-cut, his jawline sharp

Elijah remained seated in the quiet luxury of his living room. His laptop still rested on his lap, the glow of spreadsheets and confidential documents reflecting briefly in his eyes.After a while, he reached up and gently closed the lid with a soft snap.He exhaled and leaned back slightly, pulling out his phone instead. With a few quick taps, he ordered food through one of his usual delivery apps — something simple, rich, and hot.As he waited, his thumb began to scroll idly through his home screen… until his gaze landed on the TikTok app.He opened it.The feed came alive instantly — sounds, transitions, lights. But he didn’t care about any of it. His fingers moved instinctively to Sierra Lane’s page.Her profile popped up.There she was — glowing, laughing, singing. Each video a glimpse into her rising world. Her smile. Her presence. Her voice.He played a few, watched silently, then slowed down to read the comments. Fans. Admirers. Curious strangers. Praise flooded every corner.

Marcus held her gaze for a quiet moment, then gave a faint, reassuring smile — the kind that barely reached his eyes.He gently touched her hand resting on his face, then lowered it with care.“All is fine,” he said in his deep, measured tone.“Just been busy handling a few things. Routine work.”He took a slow sip from the cup she’d brought, using it as a subtle way to close the subject.His wife watched him for a moment longer, her eyes searching his face — as if she knew there was more, but chose not to press it.Instead, she gave a soft nod.“Alright.”She smiled faintly and picked up her own cup, taking a small sip.She took another gentle sip from her cup, then glanced sideways at him, her voice casual but thoughtful.“Has Elijah called?” she asked softly.Marcus paused mid-sip.He lowered the cup slightly, his jaw tightening just a bit — a subtle reaction only someone who knew him deeply would notice.He shook his head slowly.“No,” he said. “Not yet.”She set her cup down gent

“Been a while,” he said warmly, already opening his arms to pull her into a hug.But Sierra took a subtle step back, her expression calm, composed — but distant.Daniel paused mid-motion, his smile faltering for a second. He lowered his arms awkwardly and gave a tight nod, pretending not to notice the rejection.“Right. Cool.”He cleared his throat and tucked his hands into his pockets casually.Then his eyes roamed her again — appreciative, lingering.“Still beautiful as ever, I must say,” he added with a smug grin.“But now it’s not just beauty. It’s fame too.”He leaned slightly to the side, his tone playful but cocky.“I’ve been seeing your name everywhere. Posters, clips, you’ve gone viral. Looks like New Ember finally produced a real star, huh?”He gave a slow whistle.“You always had it in you, I guess. Just needed the world to catch up.”His gaze locked on hers, a subtle hint of flirtation in every word.“Must be hard keeping up with all the attention now… though if I’m being

Sierra quietly slid her books into her bag, zipped it up, and rose from her seat. Betty gave her a concerned glance, but Sierra simply offered a soft smile and whispered,“I’ll be fine.”She adjusted her scarf, gave a respectful nod to the lecturer, and made her way toward the door. Whispers rippled faintly across the class again as students watched her leave, unable to hide their curiosity because it was hard for you to be called by the administrator. And if you were called, it's for one reason, either you were about to be suspended.Once outside, the sun hit her face gently. She took a calming breath and started down the paved walkway toward the administrative building.She reached out, pulled the door open, and stepped inside the cool, air-conditioned lobby, her eyes scanning the front desk.Ahead of her were two desks, placed side by side but angled just enough to separate their occupants.On the left sat a man, likely in his early forties, dressed in a sky-blue button-down shirt

Meanwhile…The sleek Audi Q8 rolled smoothly into the campus of New Ember University, its black finish gleaming under the morning sun. The low hum of the engine and the sharp, elegant curves of the car immediately drew attention.As it turned into the main parking lot and pulled into a space among a long row of older sedans and hatchbacks, heads began to turn.Conversations halted.Phones were subtly raised.Whispers rippled across the courtyard."Whose car is that?""Wait... is that a new Q8?""Damn… someone’s rich.”Then the doors opened.Betty stepped out first, looking crisp in her casual fit — neat, stylish, and unfazed by the attention. She adjusted her tote bag and gave a slight smirk at the growing crowd.And then—The passenger door opened.And Sierra Lane stepped down.Her black heels touched the pavement as she stood tall, hair flowing, her outfit perfectly fitted — simple yet stunning. She carried herself with the kind of effortless confidence that didn’t need to ask for a
