SHE ISN'T DEAD
"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden…?"Adrian asked as he drove, his voice was calm yet carrying a faint curiosity, his gaze fixed on the road ahead while the soft hum of the engine filled the silence between them, and beside him, Christian sat with his head slightly tilted toward the window, watching the passing city without really seeing it.Christian did not answer immediately.For a brief moment, he remained still, as if his thoughts were somewhere far away, somewhere he hadn’t yet decided how to bring into words, and only after a quiet breath did he respond."Just thinking dad," he said.Adrian glanced at him briefly before returning his attention to the road, a faint smile forming on his lips."You’ve been doing that a lot lately," he remarked. "Thinking too much..." Christian let out a soft breath, almost amused as he asked, "umm, is that a bad thing dad?" Adrian shook his head slightly."Not always, my dear," he replied. "But sometimes… it makes you carry things alone when
A TRILLION DOLLAR MISTAKE
"Do you even realize what you’ve just done?"Ethan’s voice was calm, almost quiet, yet it carried enough weight to settle over the hall like an invisible pressure, making the already suffocating silence feel even heavier as every gaze remained fixed on the shattered fragments of Pearl across the floor.The pearl still glowed faintly broken… yet undeniably unique.For a brief moment, no one moved.Then, Jenny let out a sharp laugh, the sound breaking the silence as she folded her arms, forcing confidence back into her posture."Stop acting like it’s something valuable," she said mockingly, her voice rising slightly as if to convince not just others, but herself. "It’s obviously fake, just another cheap trick to fool everyone, and look at how seriously you’re taking it."Sally scoffed immediately, stepping forward, her lips curling with disdain."Exactly," she added, her tone sharp and dismissive. "Do you really expect us to believe that something like that could be real? A man who coul
WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT
"I expected adjustment but," Christian tilted his head slightly and said honestly, "Not this level of adjustment Riven, especially not from you." Elara’s expression softened slightly at that."Sometimes," she said quietly, "people adapt faster than they expect to… when they feel welcome, you and Lord Adrian never made us feel like outsiders, so we could never feel awkward or hesitate around you both."Christian paused for a brief moment.Then nodded slightly, "It's a good thing Elara! With you all around, this place now truly feels like a home... I really don't find it boring." The conversation drifted after that, light and unforced, small remarks passing between them, occasional teasing from Riven, calm responses from Lysandre, and Elara’s quiet observations weaving through it all.While Adrian moved around effortlessly, not as someone imposing authority, but as someone simply… present.Christian found himself watching it all without realizing.And for a moment, he thought to himse
I'M NOT EXAGGERATING
"Are you planning to sleep the entire day, Mr. CEO… or should I start charging rent for this room?" Adrian’s voice came with a faint teasing edge as he stood near the doorway, arms loosely crossed, watching the figure still half-buried under the blanket, and for a moment, there was no response from Christian except a slight shift as he pulled the cover over his face."Five more minutes… dad," Christian muttered, his voice muffled, clearly not ready to face the morning yet.The word 'dad' which used to be awkward before is coming more naturally right now without any kind awkwardness or hesitation.Every time Christian called him Dad, Adrian couldn't help but to feel happy and excited.Adrian let out a quiet chuckle and walked further inside, stopping near the bed as he looked down at him."You said the same thing ten minutes ago, my dear," he replied calmly. "And before that as well... Now this five more minutes, how many times are you going to repeat it?" Christian slowly lowered th
I KNOW
"Why are you still awake, Chris?" Adrian’s voice came soft and unhurried, breaking the silence that had settled deep into the night, and as he stepped into the dimly lit living room, his gaze immediately found Christian standing near the window, his figure outlined faintly by the city lights beyond the glass.Christian did not turn immediately.For a brief moment, he remained still, as if he had been lost in thought long before Adrian arrived, and only after a quiet breath did he respond."I could ask you the same thing, dad," he said calmly.Adrian let out a faint chuckle as he walked closer, stopping beside him without invading his space, his presence familiar and steady in a way that did not need words."I came to check on you, my dear," he admitted. "You’ve been unusually quiet since evening.... What happened?" Christian finally turned his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Is that so obvious?" Adrian raised an eyebrow lightly."To me, yes," he replied. "As I
THEN WE WILL COME
"Why are all the lights on… Dad?" Christian muttered softly as he stepped inside the house, his brows knitting slightly in confusion as his gaze moved across the living room that was far brighter than usual.The warm glow of multiple lights replacing the quiet dimness he had grown accustomed to returning to after long days, and for a brief moment, he simply stood there, unsure whether he had walked into the right place or not.Before he could think further...."Welcome home, Chris." Adrian’s voice came from ahead, calm yet carrying a warmth that immediately reached him, and as Christian lifted his gaze, he finally noticed them.Lysandre stood slightly to the side, composed as always, his posture straight yet relaxed, while Riven leaned casually against the wall with his usual sharp gaze, and Elara stood near the table, her expression soft but observant, and in the center of it all…Adrian.There was a small arrangement on the table, not grand or extravagant, but enough to make it cl
