WHO HAS THE LAST PIECE?
"Are you not able to answer or don't you have an answer?" Adrian raised an eyebrow looking at Christian who didn't utter a single word.Christian’s jaw tightened slightly, but he did not answer.Adrian noticed the silence immediately, and said calmly, "You are very determined not to tell me who that person is, aren't you?" Christian finally looked up at him and replied, "It's not about telling you or not telling you Mr. Adrian, I feel it’s better to keep the way it is rather than letting everything out." Adrian studied his face carefully. "You don’t trust me with that information? Am I not trustworthy in your eyes?"For some reason Adrian's heart ached because for days he did everything to make Christian's closed heart to open up, he thought everything would be normal in between them, but today looking at Christian who is hesitating to telling him a truth made Adrian slightly get hurt.However, Christian shook his head slowly with a gentle expression, "It's not about trust Mr. Adria
YOU ARE PLANNING TO TAKE IT ANYWAY
"The combined and complete amulet is the real key and an answer to everything!" Christian’s voice remained calm when he finished speaking, yet the quiet determination behind those words carried a weight that settled heavily across the living room as he stood beside the table where the three fragments of the amulet lay under the soft light.Adrian did not say anything, as he just watched Christian carefully, studying the young man’s face with the quiet attention of someone who had learned long ago that the most important truths were usually hidden between the words people chose not to say.The silence between them stretched for several seconds before Adrian finally leaned back slightly against the chair behind him and folded his arms."You speak about protecting someone," Adrian said slowly, his tone calm but deliberate. "Yet you never once mentioned who that person is."Christian’s fingers tightened slightly around the fragment of the amulet he was holding.For a moment he simply loo
AM I?
"She is clearly playing favourites isn't she?" Christian’s voice carried a sharp bitterness as he stood near the table where the wooden box still lay open, the small piece of the amulet resting inside like an unwanted memory that had suddenly returned to his life.The apartment had grown unusually quiet after Rosaline’s assistant left, and the silence felt heavier than the conversation that had just ended.Adrian sighed softly, "calm down Chris...."Christian rolled his eyes, "I'm not bothered about it or the woman who gave it to me, I don't care anymore." Adrian did not respond immediately.Instead he picked up the amulet piece carefully and studied it under the light, his expression remained thoughtful as his fingers traced the familiar engravings carved into the metal surface.Christian watched the movement for a moment before letting out a faint breath."You don’t need to examine it like that," he said coldly. "I already know what it is.... It's the another piece of amulet I'm l
ASK HER TO LEAVE
"Chris…" Adrian began to say something as he stood near the living room table, his expression looked serious as if he had been preparing to continue the conversation they had been having only moments earlier.Before he could finish the sentence, the sharp sound of the doorbell echoed through the apartment.Both men turned their heads toward the entrance instinctively.Christian pushed himself up from the couch without saying a word and walked toward the door with slow, deliberate steps. His expression remained calm, though the heaviness in his eyes had not disappeared since the events of the previous night.When he opened the door and saw the person standing outside, his gaze hardened immediately.For a brief second he simply looked at her.Then he turned away."It’s an unwanted guest," Christian said indifferently as he walked back toward the living room. "Ask her to leave."Adrian, who had been standing quietly and discussing security matters with Lysandre only moments earlier, shi
WHAT ABOUT THOSE INTRUDERS?
"Did you stay awake once again the whole night, Chris?" Adrian’s voice carried a quiet concern as he stepped into the living room early the next morning.The faint light of dawn filtering through the newly replaced balcony glass and spreading across the apartment that still carried the lingering memory of the chaos from the previous night.Adrian intentionally went back to his room hoping Christian would do the same while he has a deep conversation with his people, Adrian expected Christian to stay within his room and take rest without worrying about anything however things happened different to what he has expected.Christian was sitting on the couch facing the balcony, his posture relaxed at first glance, yet the stillness in his expression revealed that his mind had not rested even for a moment. His eyes remained fixed on the clear glass doors that had been repaired only a few hours earlier, as if he expected them to shatter again at any second."I tried to sleep," Christian repl
SO THIS WASN'T RANDOM
"Why did they try to kill you and me?"Christian’s voice broke the silence that had settled over the ruined living room, and although he tried to keep his tone steady, the confusion behind the question was impossible to hide as he stared at Adrian across the shattered glass scattered across the floor.Adrian did not answer immediately.Instead, he walked slowly toward the broken balcony doors and looked down into the dark streets below, scanning the shadows for any sign that the intruders might still be nearby.The night had swallowed them completely.Christian sighed while rubbing his temples, "It's same as how it happened back then at Sargent's estate, but at that time that man tried to provoke me.... However these people are almost trying to kill us.... Why?" "They’re gone, no need to think too much about the people who are gone already," Adrian said quietly after a moment.Christian let out a slow breath and ran a hand through his hair as he tried to process everything that had j
