"How is Ezra doing?" Christian sighed leaning back in the chair, "This man, seriously disappeared as if he could do anything to save her, all he can do was watch them doing everything, then, how can he even save her?" Christian kicked off the front chair, "I'm annoyed, if he is a human, I can make a call at least, but he isn't a human, I can't even contact him, what should I do?" With a frown he laid on the table resting his head on a book, "Arghh, am I thinking too much? What's wrong with me?"Shaking off his head, letting things to be done on its own, he once again decided to concentrate on his books.The air in the library was still, heavy with the scent of old papers and ink.Christian sat at the long and lonely table, while his eyes scanning over an ancient volume titled "Bound by Legacy: The Sealed Fate of Twin Marks."His fingers traced the faded sigils etched into the pages as if touching them would somehow make the truth easier to bear, it's an old book Edward brought for C

"Chris, are you nervous?" Charles asked with a calm face, Christian shook his head, while Edward laughed at Charles, "Looks like more than Chris, you're nervous!" Lord Sargent chuckled at his sons' playful banter, "Who doesn't know he is a scaredy cat?" "Dad, you are also joining Ed to tease me," Charles pouted, making the trio, Christian, Lord Sargent and Edward to burst into laughter.Tapping on Charles's shoulder, Edward said, "Look at Chris and learn, no matter how horrible the circumstances are troubling him, he is strong and confident, unlike you nervous like a kid, when the kid himself is not scared." Charles rolled his eyes, Christian scrolling through his mobile looking into something, and finally Lord Sargent cleared his throat breaking the silence in between them, "Let's go! The council meeting is about to begin!"Nodding their heads, Charles, Edward and Christian walked behind Lord Sargent.The sun cast a pale golden glow over the white-stone marble courtyard as Lord Va

"Chri...." Rosaline tried to pull Christian back but he isn't ready to stop yet, not until he lets them know their place."What do you mean by enough Mr. Christian Sargent?" The eldest among all the Council elders has raised his voice, but competing equally with his tone, Christian replied, "I mean, we have had enough of hearing to your accusations and comments on a helpless woman, in the name of Council heads and inquiry, do you think you can make any statement on anyone by ignoring the dignity and respect of others? Is this how you people call yourselves as elders of a reputed Council?" The room became silent, even the breeze seemed to pause."So, you are going to say that she is innocent despite what happened? Are you going to argue that lowering her standards is also fine if she can call herself innocent?" An elderly lady from the seats of Council has questioned."What exactly is he doing?" Lord Valemire stared at Lord Sargent, "Till today, apart from bowing the heads and obeying

"Chris, what happened?" Lord Sargent rushed to Christian immediately, "Is everything okay? Why did you look terrified?" Christian looked awkward, "Ummm... That..." Ezra laughing so hard looking at Christian's face, which is making Christian more furious out of helplessness, but controlling himself not to react once again to make a fool of himself infront of everyone."What happened?" Edward and Charles also came to check on Christian.Being embarrassed, Christian forced a smile, "Nothing, I just need some air..." Christian escaped from there and went to a silent corner, kicking the floor, he groaned, "Arghhh, this Ezra, one day I'll be labelled as crazy thanks to him." "Looks like you're in a deep thought," Ezra whispered, floating lazily at Christian’s side with a mischievous grin on his face as always.Christian sighed under his breath, straightening his coat and trying to ignore him. "Thanks to you I'm becoming a fool in front of everyone, I told you many times not to appear o

"Oliver?" Edward looked surprised by presence of young man infront of him, "When did you even come here?" Oliver smiled at Edward, "I arrived just a few minutes back, I wanted to surprise you but old madam has said that you aren't at home, so I was waiting for you to come home uncle." "That's great!" Edward placed his hand on Oliver's shoulder.Christian who was silent throughout the exchange asked Edward once they're calm, "Uncle, who is he? Do you know him?" "He is Oliver, my godson," Edward introduced him to Christian, making Christian to repeat those words, "Godson?" Edward nodded his head with a silent smile and soft voice, "Some years ago, when I was handling a shipment deal near the docks, I was ambushed by thugs, probably after our consignments or the cash I carried, during that attack, I was caught off guard… but Oliver was nearby, he acted fast, saved me before things got worse." Edward gave the young man a nod. "Since then, he has been family to me." Christian’s brow t
