WAS IT JUST A DREAM… OR A WARNING?
"Here you're silly boy!" The sudden voice made Christian to get startled, as he turned it's Ezra, returning back to room, he was muttering within himself, but now that he seen Ezra, his happiness has no bounds."Ezra," Christian's face became bright with happiness, Ezra noticing the happiness of Christian smiled at him, "Yes, it's me only, since you disappeared, do you know how worried I'm about you?"Christian chuckled, "I right disappear, that day I went out on a work but hearing that Rose was sick, my mind became a mess because of all that curse nonsense, so I went to take care of her, today only returned back." "I know," Ezra said leaning to the wall casually, "Your uncle Charles and aunt Liliana was talking about it.... That's how I was able to know about your whereabouts and became rest assured that you'll be safe." Christian folded his arms with an intrigued expression, "Is anything wrong?" "I'm not sure," there was a momentarily frown on Ezra's face, "I couldn't track thei
DID YOU SLEEP WELL LAST NIGHT?
"Am I hallucinating?" Rosaline was sweating heavily, the sweatbeads dripping down from her forehead.But the whispers from the dark still clung to her mind, mocking, circling, and echoing just to make her go crazy, "Finally… the bride is here, the sacrifice is awaiting…" Clenching her fist, Rosaline mumbled, "What's with this nonsense dream? What sacrifice?" With a clueless and annoyed face, she turned her head slightly, and watched Christian's face.He looked so peaceful in his sleep, his lips parted faintly, while his lashes brushing against his cheeks. For a short moment, she thought about waking him, confessing everything, but then her throat tightened with concern."No, I can't tell him about this now, he has carried enough burdens already, I can’t let him worry about this, too." Gently she caressed his hair, "You're worrying a lot about company and many things, I can't share my worries also to make you more burdened.... It's better if I let it go rather than dwell more on a
THE BRIDE IS HERE
"Rosaline…"The sound was clear, soft yet commanding, drifting into her ears like a familiar melody. Rosaline stiffened where she stood in the corridor. Her heart gave a sudden jolt because it was unmistakably Amelia’s voice."Madam Amelia?" She whispered, blinking rapidly as her eyes darted toward the direction of the stairs. For a moment, she forgot the lingering chill from the night before, the whispers in her dream and even the incident she witnessed a few minutes earlier.This voice felt too real, grounded, as if Amelia herself was calling her with affection.Not wanting to keep the matriarch waiting, Rosaline gathered her thoughts and hurried toward the grand staircase to reach Amelia to know for what reason she got called all of a sudden. Her pace quickened into a near-run, urgency pulsing in her veins.Her foot slipped, almost like someone pushed her.In that terrifying half-second, the ground tilted, the marble step slick beneath her sole, the railing too far to reach. H
DID I SCARE YOU?
"Rose!" Christian who was unaware of her situation came into the room and just hugged her from behind to surprise her.But instead he was surprised after seeing her flinch in fear.Christian was confused to see such a reaction from her as he couldn't understand what made her react in such a way, "What happened? Why did you react like that? Did I scare you?""You...." Rosaline sighed, but immediately stopped herself from saying anything hurtful as she doesn't want to hurt him, putting her uneasy thoughts aside, she decided to deal with him.Christian's guilty face already ached her heart, simply moving closer to him, she caressed his face, "I'm sorry, I was lost in deep thoughts, but when you did something like that all of a sudden, I was startled and reacted like that...." "It's okay, I'm the one who should apologise for behaving childishly with you, it's not your fault," Christian spoke lowering his head, Rosaline forced a smile just for the sake of assuring Christian, "No, you are
YOU'RE WANDERING HERE AND THERE AGAIN
"Because, I just don't know what I needed," Christian let out an awkward laugh, though he is embarrassed to speak about his situation, still he decided to let her know as he doesn't want her to misunderstand him.Rosaline raised an eyebrow, "What are you trying to say?" Christian taking a deep breath said everything in one go, as if someone was chasing behind him, "Well, to be honest, I don't have any idea about what I'm looking for or what I'm doing, when I only have no idea regarding anything, then how on earth can I seek your help? I'm only a mess, and how can you expect me to pull you into that mess?" Rosaline burst into laughter, "you and your silly jokes, you always know how to say convincing things, don't you?" Christian shrugged his shoulders, "maybe that's my speciality... But I'm telling you truth, I'm really confused and still looking for many answers, once I'm able to figure out, you'll be the first person I come to seek help..." Just as Rosaline opened her mouth to sp
WHO EXACTLY IS THIS ENEMY?
"I wish I could've eaten with her," Christian groaned looking at his mobile, which dragged him to the company without even allowing him to have breakfast with his wife.His mood didn't recover, even when he stepped out of the cab and into the towering glass building of Sargent Enterprises. The polished floors reflected his sharp face, and the usual morning buzz of employees fell into a hush when they noticed him walking inside normally after all the commotion two days back.Others expected him to be nervous or anxious, but Christian didn't even bother about that.No matter how often people see him, still the occasional attitude moves of him always surprised them leaving other employees to have wonderful stories woven about him.Always Christian still felt the invisible weight of expectation pressing on his shoulders though none pressured him.His surname was enough to silence the others, but that's the surname he doesn't want to use unless until he becomes worthy enough to use it.To
BUY A CROWN FOR MYSELF
"Chris," Luna smiled at Christian, "Wanna join me for dinner?" Christian was silent for a minute and then smirked, "Well, I might think if you're the one who is gonna treat me, will you?" She gently smacked on his hand, "you're such a miser, what are you going to do with all the money you've?" "Buy a crown for myself," Christian giggled making Luna to burst into laughter, "you already have one but hiding it in a safe, aren't you?" Christian winked his eyes playfully, looking at their playful exchange Andrew whispered to Tanya, "Do you really think they're just friends?" Tanya shrugged her shoulders, "who knows... But they're adorable together..." Just Christian had just excused himself for a call with some important client, leaving Andrew, Kira, Tanya, and Luna.Looking at Christian leaving, Andrew went to Luna, and asked straightforwardly, "do you like Chris?" Luna stared at him for a minute with a calm face before answering without any hesitation, "Yes!" "Owww very straightf
ANOTHER TIME, MAYBE!
"Ms. Kaelthorne," Oliver tried to stand firm so that her suspicion wouldn't raise further, "What exactly are you trying to imply here?" Aurora laughed, mockingly staring at Oliver, "implying? What a fancy word for someone like you!" He clenched his fist controlling himself, while Aurora leaned closer to his face, "my question is very simple, if you're not the heir then who is the real?" The room thickened with silence because of what Aurora has questioned. Andrew, Tanya, and Kira, exchanged nervous glances, while Luna was extremely worried while battling the temptation to stop as she doesn't want Aurora to figure out Christian's identity.She knew Aurora Kaelthorne’s reputation, sharp, manipulative, merciless. One wrong word could topple everything Christian had built in secrecy, moreover Luna doesn't want Aurora to know the truth that Christian is the man she is engaged to, however she is nervous to intervene thinking she might end up making a mess.Oliver swallowed hard. He wa
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?
"Miss Kaelthorne," Oliver swallowed hard, forcing his lips into the charming smile he always used when cornered, "surely you didn’t mean what I think you just said..."But the one in front of him is different, her deathly glare clearly indicating that she isn't impressed or buying his act.She wasn’t here to flirt, to play coy, or to be won over like the women who usually circled his orbit.She was here for blood."Wh… what?" His voice cracked, and he hated how small it sounded that too in front of a woman.Aurora’s expression didn’t soften. In fact, her smile sharpened, like the glint of a blade ready to slit his throat. "I know you perfectly heard me... So stop playing dumb, I’m not here to entertain your childish games."Oliver’s mask faltered, his hands, usually steady as stone, gripped the armrests of nearby chair too tightly. "Ms. Kaelthorne...." "Enough." She cut him off like snapping a thread, as if he or his words don't matter at all, her lips curved, not in warmth, but in
LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN RUN
"What a silly play!" Aurora stepped out of the office with a calmness that was almost terrifying. Her heels pressed against the marble floor, with each steady step being deliberate, as if she hadn’t just torn through Oliver’s fragile mask in front of his colleagues.Her lips curved faintly, not in joy but in calculation."Oliver… too pathetic!" Aurora thought to herself, "He trembles like a rabbit in a wolf’s den, totally not worth my time, but why is this fake play? Whom they're are trying fool? I expected Sargent's heir to be someone matching everyone's description, but how on earth this guy is entirely different from what I heard? Rather than jumping into popularity that came without any hardwork, why is he hiding?" However she brushed off her thoughts from the man for whom she went all the way to Sargent's company.Suddenly after getting away from there, her thoughts wandered to the one who had run out earlier. "Chris," That name now hummed in her mind like an unsolved riddle.
