The Lost Heir Of Sargent
"No one cares whether I live or die," Christian thought as he felt himself losing consciousness, his body weak and broken after being abused to the brink of death by his own father.
When he woke, however, he found himself surrounded by a group of unfamiliar faces. These strangers, claiming to be his mother's relatives, looked at him with a mix of fury and compassion, grandfather, uncles, and aunts, people he never knew existed, stood before him.
"Who dared to hurt the heir of the Sargent family?" His uncles roared, their voices trembling with rage.
"The one who dares to lay a finger on my precious grandson will meet their end!" His grandfather declared with cold determination.
"Here, Christian," one of his aunts smiled, handing him a sparkling black card. "This is your diamond card, one of a kind. It’s all yours, you could even buy a country with it if that’s what you want."
They treated him like the most precious treasure in the world.
The once-abandoned and ridiculed son of the Adam's family turned out to be the long-lost heir of the prestigious Sargent family.
The same Adam family that had humiliated and tormented him was brought to their knees. Broken and desperate, they begged for his forgiveness.
"Christian, we’re sorry," they pleaded. "Please, have mercy on us! After all, we’re still family!"
A tale of vengeance and redemption. The Rise of Christian Sargent chronicles, a journey of an abandoned son reclaiming his identity and power as a true heir of Sargent family. As Christian unravels the mysteries of his bloodline, he forges unexpected connections, faces his enemies, and discovers the truth behind his mother’s legacy in this magical and exhilarating saga.

Chapter: EPILOGUE"Your wife is asking for you."Christian did not wait for another word, his legs automatically carried him forward before his mind could catch up, his heartbeat echoing louder than the hurried footsteps that followed the doctor through the corridor. The sterile scent of the hospital faded into the background as every thought narrowed to a single person waiting beyond those doors.The doctor stopped outside one of the delivery rooms. "You can go in now, Mr. Sargent."Christian nodded gratefully before pushing the door open, the room was quiet, soft afternoon sunlight slipped through the curtains, bathing everything in a warm glow.Aurora rested against the raised hospital bed, exhaustion evident in every breath she drew, yet her smile outshone every light in the room.When their eyes met, the tension that had gripped Christian's heart finally loosened."I made it," Aurora murmured."I always believed in you, you've always been strong.” She reached toward him. "Come here."Christian c

Chapter: WELCOMING THE FUTURE"I think our little one has decided he doesn't want to wait until breakfast is over."The smile on Aurora's face remained gentle despite the discomfort that crossed her features. One hand rested protectively over her stomach while another contraction stole her breath.Christian reached her immediately, supporting her before she could lose her balance. "Aurora, are you all right? Is everything okay?” She nodded, forcing out a soft laugh. "I will be... but I don't think breakfast is happening anymore."The dining room exploded into motion.Mary's calm voice rose above the commotion."Betty, bring the hospital bag from Aurora's room. Lily, call the hospital and let them know we're coming. Charles, get the cars ready."Charles got to his feet so quickly that his chair crashed onto the floor. "I'm on it!"Edward caught him by the arm before he sprinted toward the wrong hallway. "The garage is outside.""...I knew that.""You clearly didn't."Even in the middle of the rush, Amelia couldn't

Chapter: IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE HOME"Christian, if you don't come downstairs this instant, Charles is going to finish everything before breakfast even starts!"Mary's voice drifted through the hallway, carrying the warmth and liveliness that had become a familiar part of the Sargent Estate over the past year.Christian smiled before setting the book aside on the bedside table. Sunlight poured through the open balcony doors, dancing across the polished wooden floor while a gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming roses from the gardens below.A year.An entire year had passed since the battle that changed everything.The Dark Mountains had long returned to silence, the forbidden gate remained sealed beneath layers of ancient magic, and the Veilborn existed only as a dark chapter recorded in history books. The four great Houses had rebuilt their fractured relationships, choosing cooperation instead of suspicion, and the estate that once echoed with grief had finally become the home Lord Sargent always dreamed of creat

Chapter: I NEED YOUR HELP"Do you think he would complain if he saw all this?"Christian's voice drifted quietly through the evening air as he stood beneath the old tree overlooking the western gardens of the Sargent estate, his attention fixed upon the darkening sky where the first stars had begun appearing above the distant mountains.Beneath the tree rested a simple memorial.No grand monument or elaborate shrine.Just a polished white stone surrounded by silver Eldewyn flowers, Stormborn lilies, and a small compass placed carefully at the center.Ezra's compass, Christian had placed it there himself.The memorial gathering had ended earlier in the afternoon.All the guests had departed early, and the estate had gradually returned to silence, yet Christian remained.Still watching the sky…. Still half expecting an irritating ghost to appear beside him and criticize his posture.Mary stepped beside him quietly, her fingers slipped around his arm gently."I think he would complain that everyone was ruining hi

Chapter: NO MORE APOLOGIES"Dad.... tell me this isn't real.... Did Ezra really leave me alone?" Christian's voice broke beneath the open sky of the Dark Mountains as he stood motionless upon shattered stone and broken sanctums while the final traces of silver spiritual light drifted upward into the dawn like fragments of stars returning to the heavens.The forbidden gate was gone.The screaming fractures that had torn through reality moments earlier had vanished completely.The whispers beyond the veil had fallen silent.The mountain itself, which had spent centuries trembling beneath corruption and forbidden rituals, had finally grown quiet, all the half dead, veilborn creatures dragged back into behind the gate.The world had survived.Ezra had not.Christian remained standing exactly where Ezra had disappeared, his eyes fixed upon the empty space before him while the cold mountain wind moved through his hair and clothes as if nature itself refused to disturb his grief.His hands trembled slightly at his si

Chapter: LET ME GO!"You need to fall back right now because the gate is collapsing!" Ezra’s voice echoed throughout the shattered convergence chamber as violent spiritual fractures ripped across the underground laboratory beneath the Dark Mountains while black-red energy erupted uncontrollably from the forbidden gate suspended deep beneath the collapsing sanctum.The war had completely spiraled beyond control.Stormborn lightning crashed violently against destabilized convergence force while Eldewyn arrays struggled desperately to prevent reality itself from tearing apart around them.The deeper sectors of the laboratory were already collapsing inward.Steel corridors twisted unnaturally, spatial fractures opened through the air itself.Whispers echoed from beyond the gate.Not human.... Not understandable.And somehow infinitely worse because of it.Christian stood at the center of the collapsing battlefield with blood running from the corner of his mouth while the relic beneath his coat pulsed violen

Chapter: IT'S BEEN A WHILE“Marcus was one of the few people I had truly relied on after the world fell apart.”Xavier kept his eyes on the road as he drove through the evening traffic, one hand resting on the steering wheel while the other remained near the gearshift.He had spent the better part of the afternoon tracking Marcus down.It had not been difficult once he knew where to look.In this life, Marcus had not become the man Xavier remembered from the apocalypse. He was still dealing with the consequences of his dishonorable discharge, drinking away his days and keeping away from the people who once served beside him.Xavier understood why.Marcus had been a sergeant in the special forces, and he had been discharged after taking responsibility for an operation that had gone wrong. Xavier knew the truth because, in his previous life, he had heard Marcus explain what had actually happened.The man had been blamed for a decision he had never made.The military career he had spent years building was gone, an

Chapter: I BELIEVE YOU“If you're the one telling me, I'll believe everything you say.”Kate's answer caught Xavier off guard.He had expected questions, hesitation, or at least some doubt after telling her something as unbelievable as the world ending in ten weeks. Instead, she accepted his words without asking for proof.Xavier studied her for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face. “I didn't expect you to say that.” He reached over and gently caressed her hair.Kate's cheeks warmed immediately.She had known Xavier for several years, and his kindness toward her had never changed. Even now, when he was preparing for something she couldn't understand, she trusted him without hesitation.That loyalty had been the reason she stayed by his side in his previous life.It had also been the reason she died.Xavier remembered how Kate had followed his instructions during the first days of the apocalypse, even when doing so had put her in danger. He had failed to protect her then, and he had no intenti

Chapter: THE SAFE HOUSE“I found a property that matches almost everything you asked for, Boss.”Kate sat in the driver's seat of the car while Xavier studied the photographs and documents she had placed in front of him.“Where is it?”“On the eastern side of the city, about two hours from the business district. It's a fortified hillside estate that was built as a private residence. The current owner has been trying to sell it for several months, but no one has been willing to buy it because it's far from the city and somewhat outdated. The owner is also willing to lower the price from the original asking price.”Xavier flipped through the photographs. "What about the security?”“The entire property is surrounded by a fifty-foot reinforced wall, and there's only one main entrance. The gates are strong too. I'm not sure if the owner was exaggerating, but he insisted that they're bombproof as well. The security system can also be upgraded, and there are cameras covering most of the perimeter.”“That sounds sui

Chapter: ONE MONTH ISN'T MUCH TIME“You're telling me I have only one month?”Selene sat behind her desk, staring at the documents spread across the table. Her legal team stood on the other side, having just finished explaining the situation following the meeting with Redwood Capital.She still couldn't accept how quickly everything had changed.“That's the current deadline, Madam Selene.”Selene picked up one of the documents and read through it again, hoping she had misunderstood something.“And if I can't resolve the situation within a month?”The lawyer exchanged a brief glance with his colleague before responding.“Then the consequences will become much more difficult to manage.”Selene placed the document back on the table. “How difficult?”“You could lose your current position and a significant portion of your control over the company.”Selene's fingers tightened as she realized the situation had become far more troublesome than she had imagined, and she wasn't prepared to lose control of the company.“That's no

Does that make Ms. Daisy the largest shareholder now?”“This is no longer a tug-of-war. Ms. Daisy is clearly in the lead!”Selene picked up the documents and went through them again, making sure she had not misunderstood what she was reading.

She had expected an unpleasant meeting, but she had not expected Daisy to walk into the emergency session with two lawyers behind her.Daisy closed the door and walked toward the empty seat across from Selene. She carried a slim leather folder under one arm, while one of her lawyers held a second file.“I believe I have every right to be here,” Daisy replied calmly.Selene narrowed her eyes. “This meeting concerns the current management of the company. You are not part of the management.”“Not yet.”Daisy placed the leather folder on the table and took her seat.The room went quiet again.Selene glanced at the two lawyers. “What is this? What exactly

Chapter: AND THE COLLATERAL?"I shouldn't have brought you into this…. Maybe I really made a mistake by telling you all these."Sally's voice was painful as she sat beside Ethan in the car, her hands tightly clasped together in her lap. Ethan kept his attention on the road, his expression calm as he drove them back toward the Carvendish residence."You didn't bring me into anything, Ms. Carvendish. You came to me because you wanted to talk about grandfather's important documents, no one is blaming you for that. To be honest, I've every right to know about it.”She wiped the tears gathering in her eyes and tried to steady herself. "That's exactly what makes me feel worse. After everything I did to you, you're still willing to think about my intentions in a good way, I never supported you, I never even tried to help you, all I did was insulting you and blaming you, yet you're not cruel towards me, while the bastard I always supported he didn't hesitate to throw all blame on me just to remain innocent, I was really

Chapter: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"I'm giving you until tomorrow to return the money or give me what you promised."Charlie tried to remain composed. "I need more time, Mr. Owen. I haven't forgotten about the agreement…. I'll try my best to bring them to you.” "You've already had enough time," Owen replied firmly. "I gave you the money months ago, and you've given me nothing in return."Jerome stepped forward before the argument could escalate. "Mr. Owen, I'll handle the debt. Whatever Sally owes you, I'll make sure it's settled."He knew Owen is connected to the loan sharks troubling them, so he decided to sort out one thing first.Owen glanced at him calmly. "The debt involved is one matter. My agreement with Charlie is another, and I won't mix the two."Jerome's expression tightened. "How much did you give him?"Owen mentioned the amount, and Jerome's face immediately hardened when he heard the figure."Where did he spend all that money?"Charlie quickly intervened.

"What kind of family records are you talking about?""I don't know exactly. They were just old documents that had been left behind after Grandfather left the home.” Owen gave him a cold glance. "You remember perfectly well what you promised me."Charlie ignored the remark and turned back to Jerome. "Father, they were only old papers collecting dust. I thought selling them would help us clear the family's debts without troubling anyone."Jerome's patience finally snapped. "Why would you promise someone something that never belonged to you in the first place?"Charlie lowered his voice, still trying to appear sincere. "I wasn't trying to betray the family. I thought if I could get those old documents and exchange them for money, we could pay everything we owed and nobody would have to suffer because of the debt."Owen let out a qu

Jerome demanded.Mr. Owen calmly walked toward the table and placed a thin folder beside the documents belonging to the debt. "I'm talking about an agreement your son made with me a few months ago."Charlie immediately stepped forward. "Mr. Owen, we can speak about it later, I think there's been some misunderstanding.” "There wasn't any misunderstanding here young man."Charlie forced a nervous smile.

Why would I want you to get into trouble? When did I even do anything to hurt you?” Sally's expression hardened. "You're not trying to help me. You're trying to make yourself look innocent when you're the cause of everything, that day if not because of you and your lies I and Jenny wouldn't damage Ethan's items, and if not because of you, we wouldn't meet the loan sharks either.” His face changed immediately, as if her words had genuinely hurt him.

About these loan sharks, I know nothing, I only took you to someone who could arrange the money when you needed it… How could I know they're dangerous people?” "You knew exactly who they were."

He carefully created a fake financial report detailing nonexistent transactions, ensuring it looked as authentic as possible.Once the file was complete, he placed it in a safe place where Nancy usually hides the things, so that they'll not suspect it as fake.As the file was hidden safely, he placed four tiny cameras to cover angles of the room, so that he can capture every movement in the office."Now this is perfect to trap a rat," Bryan smirked, and left the room immediately, he asked Nancy also not to go into the room for a whole day and lie about having work outside.He also went to college to complete his tasks there, after finishing all, by the end of the day, Bryan returned to the office and checked the original CCTV footage of Nancy's office, as he suspected the cameras didn't work.To make it more dramatic Bryan called for a few security staff wh

Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather?
