"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

"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

"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

"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

"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
