WHY NOT?
"I didn’t do anything," Christian said quietly.Aurora froze for a second, but her hand was still pressed against his chest, while fingers were trembling, eyes red and wet with unshed tears."I didn’t act that way to make anyone fall in love with me, especially you," he continued in a steady voice, neither being defensive, nor cold. "And I never had the intention of making anyone fall for me either." Aurora laughed bitterly at his statement. "Then why be like this? Why do you behave like this as if you're a gentleman?" Christian inhaled slowly, giving her time, and also giving himself time."I grew up watching my mother get mistreated," he said softly holding back himself not to break down as all the memories from the past surrounded him all at once. "I watched her get disrespected, silenced, broken… every single day, there's no single day passed in my life without seeing her tears, though it hurts that's how her life has been a hell with a man who didn't even give her the basic res
I'M RICHER THAN THE SARGENT FAMILY
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Christian let out a slow sigh, running a hand through his hair as he looked at Aurora since he couldn't understand what exactly was going on in the mind of Aurora despite him trying his best to explain everything to make her realise she should give up on him but she is too stubborn to listen to him.She calmly got seated, her ankle resting on the chair, posture relaxed like she hadn’t just shattered his composure a few minutes ago. Her eyes were sharp, calculating, and oddly amused.Aurora lifted her chin slightly with a calm face staring into his eyes straight just like how her words are straightforward."Chris," she said calmly, "you might be a part of Sargent's family and heir of Sargent's family, but don’t forget something important." She stood up smoothly, ignoring the faint protest from her ankle. "I’m the heiress of the Kaelthorne family." Christian blinked once while hearing to her carefully."My family," she continued coolly with a prou
SO, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
"I don't think it's time to think about all these," Christian mumbled as he doesn't want to waste time on unnecessary things.The moment Aurora Kaelthorne left the building, he didn’t follow the praise, the congratulations, or Andrew’s dramatic commentary. Getting up, he walked out of the room to get himself a coffee before he come up with a plan of what to do next, after having a warm cup of coffee, his mind started functioning in a better way."I don't think I can stay low profile anymore," Christian sighed inwardly, "sooner or later, everything will be revealed, though Oliver is no longer there to compete, still I don't think it's simple yet for me to claim everything that belongs to me, I should be prepared for everything!" Once he was done with coffee and thinking about his future plans, Christian went straight to the executive conference room and sent a single message to the internal group channel."Emergency strategy meet, within ten minutes, I want all of you to be present!
LET HIM GO
"Chris," Luna placed her hand on Christian's shoulder, "what are you doing here?" Christian who was silently staring out of the huge windows turned to look at Luna, "nothing, just gathering my thoughts....." "I really don't understand," she passed a smile while handing a water bottle, "what's bothering you, is it because of Aurora Kaelthorne? Did she threaten you?" Christian opened the bottle cap smoothly, "well, I can't say no, at the same time, it's not like she is going to get us into trouble for real, actually to be frank, I myself don't understand anything Luna, sometimes I really don't understand what exactly I want!" "Huh?" "Luna," Christian stared at her with those gloomy eyes, "before, all I wanted was a peaceful life, and recognition as a part of family, not even once I craved for money or power, at this moment...." Luna came closer to Christian, "life is too mysterious, sometimes what we expect doesn't happen but what we doesn't expect happens, god is strange as well,
PLEASE LEAVE
"Today you're looking so energetic...." Kira commented looking at Christian, to which he smiled faintly, "I don't think so!""Why? What's bothering you?" Kira asked with a worried face, "is it about the flat you're looking to live?" Christian nodded his head, "yeah, I've been looking for a place to stay nearby, but couldn't find one yet, today also I've to leave early in order to check for new apartments." "It's okay, you'll find one soon," Kira gently said to him, "I also told the people I knew about finding a good place for you, if I get any information, I'll tell you immediately." Christian hummed at her, "Thanks Kira!" "You're welcome," she passed a smile to him and left from there, the entire place was unusually quiet after she left.Glass walls reflected muted city light, screens still glowing with unfinished projections and timelines that refused to sleep. Christian stood near the long conference table, jacket discarded over a chair, sleeves rolled up as he reviewed report
YOU RUINED EVERYTHING
"Chris...." Mia desperately called him but no reply came from Christian apart from the cold gaze, she couldn't see anything else.Mia’s knees hit the polished floor with a dull sound.The faint sound carried farther than she expected, but Christian didn’t move, he didn't even step back or further.He simply stood there, hands relaxed at his sides, eyes calm in a way that terrified her more than any kind of anger ever could."Chris…" Her voice cracked as she looked up at him. "I know I did many worse things to you beyond forgiveness, I thought no matter what happens you'll never leave me, yes I stayed silent when you're bullied because I thought if I keep protecting you, you'll be spoiled and will never obey me.... I foolishly thought by doing that I can control you, but not even once I truly cared about Ivan, I just used him to make you desparate and jealous, but I didn't expect that foolishness of mine would cost me you and your love, I realised what I lost only after you left me."
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
"Save you?" Ivan sneered, laughter curling cruelly at the corner of his lips. "Why would I risk my life to save someone narcissistic and self centred like you? I would never even waste a second of my life for you...." Mia’s breath caught right in her throat after seeing the real face of Ivan about which Christian has been trying to tell her for years."I left the moment you fell into the water," he continued casually, as if confessing to something trivial. "That river was overflowing, it's you who stubbornly wanted to go there and you yourself fell because of your stupid attitude by listening to none, anyone with half a brain would’ve run rather than protecting a person like you." Her eyes widened in shock, pupils shaking as she couldn't believe what exactly she was hearing. "So, all these years, I believed the wrong person to be my saviour while hurting my real saviour!" "It was that foolish Chris," Ivan went on, voice sharp and merciless, "who jumped in after you without a second
SHE'S GONE
"Chris… Did you hear me?" The voice cut through the chaos like a sharp blade through fog.Christian’s fingers twitched before his mind caught up, his chest felt tight, hollow, as if something vital had been scooped out and left behind. Slowly, almost fearfully, he turned his head after hearing to the familiar voice once again."Mr. Adrian?" He murmured in shock as he didn't expect Adrian to be standing behind him.Adrian stood just a step away from him, his presence calm and silent, his usually composed face was drawn tight with concern, storm-dark eyes scanning Christian first, not the blood on the stairs, not the screaming employees, not the security pinning Ivan to the floor, but him.He didn't concentrate on anyone or any chaos apart from his own son who is having a pale face with sweat dripping down from his forehead.Adrian lifted a hand without hesitation and cupped Christian’s face, thumb brushing lightly against his cheek as if checking whether he was okay, whether he was h
YOU'RE TOTALLY WORTH IT
"Yes," Christian swallowed hard and managed to say.The word came out rough, scraped raw from somewhere deep in his chest, but it was real.Adrian’s breath stuttered for the briefest moment, as he couldn't believe that Christian said it for real, "this child, is he finally opening up in front of me?" Holding back the happiness he is having as a father after his child finally opening up his heart to him, slowly he leaned closer, his voice was low, steady, and carrying no judgment, but only certainty."Then listen to me, my dear," Adrian said very gently. "You are very precious, you were never an omen, not now, not ever, all you deserve is love and affection." Christian’s eyes trembled to look at him."They didn’t die because they loved you, my dear," Adrian continued firmly. "They died because it was their time, we all are just tenants in this world, when our time ends, we are supposed to leave, no one can stay forever even if we want to, fate takes people when it decides to, no one
NEITHER DID I
"He is really adorable," Adrian smiled to himself walking out of the room after looking at Christian one last time, "just like his mother!" All his mind could think about was, Christian and his smile, it was like a moment for a man after knowing the first time that he became a father.That anxiousness and nervousness, everything overcame by love and affection he has towards Christian, not even once in his life he thought he'll have that side for his child, but today he is showing all the soft and gentle sides of him to Christian as he is afraid of scaring Christian if he were to show his original side.Before walking out of the building, he seen Christian's friends, they were looking at him very curiously, but standing nearby respectfully.He is an introvert just like Christian and doesn't like talking to his own people also, but since they're Christian's friends, he passed a smile and left from there.Kira hugged Tanya while shaking in enthusiasm, "Tanya, do you think he is married?
