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
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
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
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
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
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
