DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK
"Ah, my little Chrissy has returned from the lion’s den!" Liliana announced dramatically watching Christian and Rosaline walking towards them."Did your grandfather devour you whole?" Betty added with a mischievous smile. "No, clearly not, maybe you're safe since your wife wouldn’t have let him." Christian groaned, sitting into the chair while Rosaline, unbothered, accepted the offered teapot and began pouring tea for everyone to earn the places in their hearts."She is really easier to get long compared to you Chris," Betty teased, sipping from her cup."And certainly more charming than I imagined, looks like I misjudged her before," Liliana chimed in.Rosaline only smirked, leaning toward Christian as she handed him his cup. "See, your family prefers me over you, you're losing, honey." "Don’t push your luck," he muttered, though the faint curl of his lips betrayed his amusement.From her corner, Amelia watched them with a small smile, with softened eyes as it's good to see family
WELL?
“What's wrong with this old man?” Christian crossed his arms and stared at the empty space where Mr. Harrison stood earlier, “Is he truly helping me or adding more chaos?”Just then a car stopped in front of Christian, it's a car from the Sargent family.The driver stepped out of the car and bowed respectfully, “Sorry for the inconvenience young master, Lord Sargent wants me to bring you home.”“Now?” “Yes, young master!” Reluctantly Christian nodded and got into the car, he took out his mobile to call Rosaline, but the call didn't connect, so he sent a message about going to Sargent's mansion because of his grandfather.Not understanding why he got summoned to home all of a sudden, he stayed clueless.After some time of journey, they finally arrived, the Sargent mansion stood quiet when Christian’s car pulled into the driveway. He had expected many things, his grandfather's serious face or an overwhelming environment.What he hadn’t expected at all was the sound of laughter spillin
I DON'T LIKE PAWNS PRETENDING TO BE KINGS
"I think it's best to end here," One of the senior managers said standing up from his seat, "Let's not drag it more...." Christian crossed his arms with a sly smile, "So, that's it?" "Huh?" "Well," Christian also stood up from his position, "It's you people who actually called me over something silly and blamed me, accused me, threatened me, rather than trying to investigate more, just decided to choose a scapegoat, if not me being little bright enough to argue for myself, what would've happened today?" "What are you trying to say now?" The senior manager questioned Christian, to which Christian responded without any hesitation, "I'm saying I need justice... I'm saying you people are wrong, I'm saying I deserve an apology." Everyone froze after hearing to Christian fearlessy demanding an apology."What made you think we are going to apologise to a mere intern like you?"Christian can see their arrogance clearly, and he is no less compared to them, "What made you think a mere inte
SO, ABSENCE EQUALS GUILT NOW?
"Explain yourself," one of the senior managers addressed coldly, tapping the file that had just been slammed open, "Your login was used to access and alter restricted financial documents, that is serious misconduct, just this one reason is enough for us to take action against you." Christian blinked once, slowly, heartbeat increased in his chest, but his lips curved into the faintest smile as he finally decided to how to play this."Restricted?" He asked, tilting his head. "Are you sure?" The man was confused at first because of Christian's attitude, as they expected him to shiver and apologise while begging for their forgiveness, but instead Christian is acting untouchable, it infuriated him, "How dare you question me? Do you have any idea with whom you're speaking?" Christian leaned forward on the table, his hands clasped calmly surprising everyone, and his words sliced the situation like glass."With all due respect, sir, the company gave me that login, it wasn’t mine to begin w
WHAT'S YOUR EXPLANATION FOR THIS?
"I wish I could ask her," Christian sat on the edge of the bed, his mind still replaying the warmth of her presence the night before. "But, I just don't want her to feel uncomfortable since everything in between us has been rushed, I don't want to make things more awkward...." She had stood by him, even when doubt crept into his chest like poison. For a slight moment, he had believed he wasn’t alone and she'll never betray him as she knew the pain of betrayal very well.The sharp buzz of his phone shattered the fragile calmness, as he glanced at the screen, it was none other than Luna."Chris, where are you?" Her voice burst through the line before he could even greet her. "The board has gone mad. They’ve called an emergency session, and your name’s all over it." His brow furrowed. "Huh? My name? But why?" "Your name only, they’re saying the breach in the finance reports came from your login, they want you in the office now before things spiral, and doubting you because of your sud
NOT GOING ANYWHERE?
"You'll not leave me alone," Christian looked at her with one of the most vulnerable eyes, "like everyone else, right?" Rosaline shook her head with a gentle smile, "no, I would never leave you alone, how can I even think of leaving this adorable baby boy?" "Well, that's a relief then," Christian smiled back at her, Rosaline pulled blanket over Christian, "sleep now, it's pretty late already." With a gentle hum, Christian closed his eyes to sleep, as he knew there are many things waiting for him on a fresh day and for that he truly needed this sleep.The night settled heavily and silence filled around the mansion. Rosaline lay beside Christian, her shawl tucked close around her body as if guarding her own heartbeat. Sleep refused to come, her mind throbbed with the weight of the velvet pouch hidden beneath her pillow.Every time she closed her eyes, she felt the amulet pulsing faintly, like it was alive. Like it was waiting or getting pulled by another part.Her hand drifted ben
