"Chris, aren't you going to have dinner?" Rosaline came into the room to call Christian for dinner only to see him sleeping peacefully."Are you just resting or sleeping?" Rosaline gently asked getting closer to him, there's no response from him, through which she figured out he must be tired and fallen asleep with the laptop in his lap.The room was quiet, apart from the steady rise and fall of Christian’s breathing, without making a sound, she removed the laptop and placed it aside, covered him with a blanket to keep him warm.Unlike his usual tensed face, while sleeping he looked totally like an angelic beauty to Rosaline, "You must've been born as a girl with these looks, I'm sure men might've gone crazy for your beauty! Too bad, born as a man, but still beauty of a woman is nothing in front of you." The faint moonlight slipping through the curtains softened his face, highlighting the sharp cut of his jaw, the curve of his lashes, and the faint crease that lingered even in sleep.

"You'll not leave me alone," Christian looked at her with one of the most vulnerable eyes, "like everyone else, right?" Rosaline shook her head with a gentle smile, "no, I would never leave you alone, how can I even think of leaving this adorable baby boy?" "Well, that's a relief then," Christian smiled back at her, Rosaline pulled blanket over Christian, "sleep now, it's pretty late already." With a gentle hum, Christian closed his eyes to sleep, as he knew there are many things waiting for him on a fresh day and for that he truly needed this sleep.The night settled heavily and silence filled around the mansion. Rosaline lay beside Christian, her shawl tucked close around her body as if guarding her own heartbeat. Sleep refused to come, her mind throbbed with the weight of the velvet pouch hidden beneath her pillow.Every time she closed her eyes, she felt the amulet pulsing faintly, like it was alive. Like it was waiting or getting pulled by another part.Her hand drifted ben

"Explain yourself," one of the senior managers addressed coldly, tapping the file that had just been slammed open, "Your login was used to access and alter restricted financial documents, that is serious misconduct, just this one reason is enough for us to take action against you." Christian blinked once, slowly, heartbeat increased in his chest, but his lips curved into the faintest smile as he finally decided to how to play this."Restricted?" He asked, tilting his head. "Are you sure?" The man was confused at first because of Christian's attitude, as they expected him to shiver and apologise while begging for their forgiveness, but instead Christian is acting untouchable, it infuriated him, "How dare you question me? Do you have any idea with whom you're speaking?" Christian leaned forward on the table, his hands clasped calmly surprising everyone, and his words sliced the situation like glass."With all due respect, sir, the company gave me that login, it wasn’t mine to begin w

“What's wrong with this old man?” Christian crossed his arms and stared at the empty space where Mr. Harrison stood earlier, “Is he truly helping me or adding more chaos?”Just then a car stopped in front of Christian, it's a car from the Sargent family.The driver stepped out of the car and bowed respectfully, “Sorry for the inconvenience young master, Lord Sargent wants me to bring you home.”“Now?” “Yes, young master!” Reluctantly Christian nodded and got into the car, he took out his mobile to call Rosaline, but the call didn't connect, so he sent a message about going to Sargent's mansion because of his grandfather.Not understanding why he got summoned to home all of a sudden, he stayed clueless.After some time of journey, they finally arrived, the Sargent mansion stood quiet when Christian’s car pulled into the driveway. He had expected many things, his grandfather's serious face or an overwhelming environment.What he hadn’t expected at all was the sound of laughter spillin

"Do you really want to know?" Rosaline raised an eyebrow trying to tease him as she finds his face to be adorable when he is upset. Christian folded his arms With a frown, "Of course I want to know, are you going to tell me or not?" Rosaline decided to play with him a little more, "I'm just thinking." "Thinking of what?""Whether to tell you or not...." Listening to that, Christian groaned, "Don't play with me Rose, I just want to know what you both talked," he said following her like a shadow. "Rather than all this drama, why don't you just tell me?" "No," Rosaline stubbornly said pulling out her tongue.Christian gritted his teeth out of furiousness, "Rose, don't you think you're too much?" She turned on her heel, her smirk widening. "Baby boy, if your grandmother wanted you to know, she would have told you herself. The fact that she didn’t mean this is between us women, so you can't just interfere in between the conversation of me and your grandmother like a kid." Christian
