I DON'T HATE YOU
"Don’t you… hate me…?"Adrian’s voice lingered in the quiet hospital room, softer than it had ever been before, as if the question itself had taken everything out of him, leaving behind only a fragile honesty that he could no longer hide behind strength or composure.Christian wasn't able to answer immediately.He stood silently beside the bed, his gaze resting on Adrian’s face, and for a long moment, the silence between them stretched quietly, carrying a weight that neither of them tried to break too quickly.Because this was not a question that deserved a rushed answer, it was something that needed to be understood before it could be spoken.Adrian gripping the bedsheet hard, broke the silence, "I know you've your reasons to hate me, I'll not even ask you to forgive me because I myself know I don't deserve forgiveness for whatever you and your mother have gone through....""Do you think those all make me hate you?" Christian let out a slow breath and lowered his gaze slightly, his t
YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO SHOULD NOT EXIST
"That might be the case, if I'm not here," Adrian said gently, "If I'm not by your side, maybe you need to know everything to protect yourself, but I'm here, I'll be always there to keep you safe my dear.""But!""I promise I will protect you, no matter what happens, Chris, I'll never leave you alone, and trust me, I'll never let you face anything alone." Adrian’s voice was soft as his fingers gently cupped Christian’s face, his touch was very careful as if he was afraid that even the slightest pressure might break the fragile peace that had finally settled between them after years of distance, silence, and unspoken truths.Christian blinked slowly, the warmth of that gesture catching him slightly off guard, because despite everything that had happened, despite everything he had just learned, there was still something unfamiliar about being treated with such open affection.A faint smile appeared on his lips as he tilted his head slightly while enjoying the way Adrian treating him."
I REALLY WANT YOU TO BE JEALOUS
"You should be resting, not standing like this, Chris." Adrian’s voice carried a quiet firmness as he adjusted the pillow behind Christian’s back with careful hands, his movements slow and deliberate as if he feared even the smallest discomfort would reach the boy sitting on the hospital bed."Dad, I'm not the one who is injured, it's you, so I'm not the one who is supposed to be resting," Christian said with a gentle smile.Adrian argued with a worried face, as he really cannot see Christian getting tired, "no, you've been restless from the last night, so, it's better if you take more rest than torturing your body like this." Christian let out a soft breath, watching him with a faint, almost helpless smile that he did not bother hiding anymore, because for the first time in a long time, he felt no need to suppress the comfort he was receiving."I’m fine, dad," he said, his tone lighter than usual, though there was a warmth in the way he said that word now, as if he was finally allo
I DO KNOW ENOUGH
"Uncle Edward?" Christian woken up from the sleep and looked at the man standing in the doorway."How come you're here? What brought you to the hospital all of a sudden?" Christian was surprised to see Edward out of nowhere in the hospital, for a few seconds he was afraid of what might happen if Edward and Adrian face each other like this."I heard you're injured... But what exactly is happening here?" Edward’s voice came out sharply as he rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard about Christian is in hospital.His expression filled with urgency and barely concealed panic, his eyes scanning the room in a single sweep before settling on Christian as if confirming that he was safe.Behind him, Charles entered just as quickly, though unlike Edward, his gaze did not stop at Christian alone, instead it shifted immediately, sharp and suspicious, landing on Adrian sitting beside Christian.And in that very instant, everything changed.Edward’s expression hardened as well, the relief that
WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON HERE?
"Left?" Charles frowned, his brows drawing together as confusion and suspicion mixed in his gaze, and he stepped slightly closer to Christian as if trying to read his expression more clearly, because the calmness in Christian’s voice did not match the weight of the words he had just spoken."What do you mean by left?" he asked again, this time slower, more deliberate, as if hoping the answer would somehow change if he questioned it twice.Betty, who had been standing near the door with her arms crossed, let out a sharp breath as impatience crept into her expression, and she stepped forward slightly, clearly unwilling to accept such a vague answer."Left means what exactly, Chris?" she asked, and her tone edged with frustration. "You are here, staying with this man, and she is somewhere else, so what exactly are you trying to say by ‘left’?" Liliana frowned as well, though her concern showed more than anger, and she looked at Christian carefully, as if trying to understand the situati
ONLY OPTION
Adrian ruffled Christian's hair, "What do you think they want apart from your marriage alliance with Kaelthorne's family?" The question lingered in the room, heavy and unavoidable, as every person present understood that this was no longer just a personal matter but something far beyond it, something that carried the weight of family, power, and expectations that Christian had never truly chosen for himself.For a brief moment, no one answered.Liliana looked at Edward, while Edward glanced at Charles, and Charles exchanged glances with Betty.All of them are clueless and option less at that moment.Charles… exhaled slowly, as if deciding whether to say it directly or soften it.In the end, he chose the former."See, the thing is we can't escape now, even if you decline marrying the girl from Kaelthorne's family, they'll just arrange another alliance..." he said. "Immediately." Christian’s brows furrowed slightly as he repeated, "Another? Are they that desperate?" Betty stepped ahe
ARE YOU STILL ANGRY WITH ME?
"I will call Aurora now," Adrian said quietly as they stepped out of the hospital, his voice calm but carrying a weight that made the night air around them feel heavier than it actually was.Christian did not respond to those words, he knew responding or silence both are useless at that moment.Edward, Charles, Betty and Liliana left the hospital few hours back as they need to inform about everything they've discussed with lord Sargent and Amelia.Christian looked after discharge procedure and finally got discharged by night, just stepped out, Adrian decided to speak with Aurora as if they can't delay informing her about this.He just walked beside Adrian in silence, his hands resting inside his pockets as his gaze drifted forward without truly focusing on anything in particular, because although his body had left the hospital, his thoughts were still caught somewhere between everything that had happened and everything that was about to happen.The city outside was alive in its usual
THIS IS SUDDEN
"The quarterly review is not the only thing we are concerned about, Mr. Christian," one of the board members said, and his tone remained measured yet carrying a subtle pressure that filled the conference room as every pair of eyes turned toward the young man seated at the head of the table.The room itself was designed to intimidate without appearing to do so, with its polished glass walls, long obsidian table, and the quiet hum of controlled lighting reflecting off every surface, creating an atmosphere where even silence felt like scrutiny, and in that silence Christian sat calmly, his posture relaxed yet composed, as if the weight of expectation pressing down on him was something he had already grown accustomed to carrying."For the past two days, I'm not even able to get a wink of sleep," Christian sighed inwardly, "as if that's not enough, today facing these people.... Is there a single peaceful day in my life? Did I get cursed to live like this or am I paying for the sins I've do
THIS IS MORE THAN HELPFUL
"Do you really think bringing me here will improve my mood?" Christian asked as he glanced around the familiar café, his tone calm but carrying a faint trace of exhaustion that had not completely left him since the morning.Aurora, who had already taken a seat near the window, rested her chin lightly on her hand as she looked at him with quiet amusement, her gaze soft but observant as if she had already anticipated that question the moment she chose this place."I don’t think it will fix everything," she replied, her voice gentle yet composed, "but I do think it will make things a little easier, at least for a while..." Christian let out a faint breath as he took the seat across from her, placing the bouquet she had given him carefully on the table beside him, his fingers brushing lightly against the petals for a brief second before pulling away as if even that small moment of softness felt unfamiliar to him."You seem very confident about that," he said, his gaze shifting toward the
I WANT A CHILD
"What?" Aurora was slightly taken aback by Christian's question.Maintaining the same calm expression, Christian said slowly, his gaze steady as it remained fixed on her, "I'm asking you in return for giving me whatever the information in the file, what do you want in return?" "Nothing comes for free in this world," he added.She said quietly, "you're right, I'm not giving that for free... At the same time I'm not expecting anything either.""Huh?""Well, you can consider it as a dowry from my side."Christian raised an eyebrow, "dowry? What kind of a dowry is it?""Something that can make my man CEO of Sargent group of companies," she grinned.Christian laughed at her response, "I really don't understand what you'll get by doing such a favour to me... Even if I become a CEO, how does that help you?" Aurora did not answer immediately.For a brief moment, she simply watched him, her expression calm yet unreadable, as if she had already expected that question long before he asked it,
