"Hurt? Starve?" Charles scratched his head, "why would we even do that to you Chris?"

Christian laughed bitterly as he said calmly, “Because that's what the Adams family did to me, and as long as you don't mistreat me, I'll go with you!”

The room was filled with deadly silence, the weight of Christian’s words crashing over them like a heavy blow which they never expected.

Lilliana and, Betty immediately embraced him, tears streaming down their faces imagining the pain their precious nephew has gone through.

"Oh, sweetheart, no, nothing like that will happen," Lilliana said, with a trembling voice. "We could never hurt you, you’re the son of our precious baby sister, as we said earlier, you're our family, we could never even imagine seeing you hurt."

Betty added holding Christian's hand in her's, "We will give you a beautiful home to live in, Chris, you’ll never have to worry about food or being hurt again, you can have all the delicacies in the world, mom makes the best food."

"Chris," Ezra smiled looking in Christian's direction, "You finally got that Ruby in your hands, what about the rest?"Christian leaned back in the chair without any tension, "You'll see it soon..." The hall fell silent again as the final gemstones were unveiled.One by one, the experts placed them under enchanted magnifiers. The crowd leaned forward, breath held in collective anticipation."The six other stones of Mr. Grey are also great treasures with rare gems just like the previous one." Madam Nevermore announced showing them.A deep, crimson painite glimmered like blood turned to crystal.A rare, icy-blue sapphire sparkled as if kissed by starlight.Then came the vibrant teal shimmer of Grandidierite, catching gasps from even the most seasoned collectors.Alexandrite, shifting hues as it moved from light to shadow, whispered of lost time and secret power.A luminous pink tourmaline, warm, delicate, and radiant.And finally, nestled quietly among them, a humble stone that opened
THE OWNER OF RARE RUBY
"Let's see," The arrogantly said, "I'll wait for you to crumble with loss..." Christian smiled with an unreadable face, "It's okay for you to think of winning but wanting to see others losing is your path to lose."With that before the expert could even talk, Christian turned around to an attendant, "Can you please bring the stones I chosen to second floor?" "For sure, sir," The attendant nodded his head politely.The heavy velvet curtains were drawn back, revealing a grand staircase that led the invited guests to the second floor of the auction house. Soft candlelight flickered from bronze chandeliers above, casting warm glows on the polished marble floors. "Wahh, I've seen golden and silver chandeliers, bronze is so beautiful and looking elegant...""Do you like it that much?" Ezra whispered, Christian nodded his head excitedly.In front of the guests gathered, a steward bowed low at the landing."This way, ladies and gentlemen, the second tier awaits for the gemstone unveiling."
WHO IS HE?
"Go back?" Ezra raised an eyebrow, "Why so early? Aren't you interested in to see what others have brought?"Christian huffed with tiredness, "Why? Just to laugh at myself?" "No..." Ezra smiled, "You need to check around, maybe you might even gather knowledge..." "Knowledge? Rather than knowledge, all I'm getting is a headache," Christian sighed, rubbing his temples.Ezra laughed at Christian who still acts like a kid, still he couldn't help but to adore those antics of Christian, "You couldn't enjoy your childhood or teenage, at least now, you got the opportunity to be in a way you wants."He silently followed Christian as Christian was making a round like a kid excited for excursion.As the crowd slowly recovered from its collective shock and the next segment of the auction resumed, Christian also quietly looking into all the tables checking if he could find anything valuable than what he had seen earlier.For some reason something that had been uncertain now had a place, a moment
VERY PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY!
"Can you stay quiet?" Christian gave a tired smile, as there are many unexpected encounters that have been happening in one day, the right one after the other.First Aurora, herself giving attention to Christian, unintentionally the old lady to whom he helped became the Madam of Nevermore family.Madam Nevermore excused herself to have a conversation with someone she happened to know."Well, I heard a lot about the Nevermore family," Ezra whispered quietly, "Very prestigious family!" Just then Aurora came towards Christian, "You've so much charm in you, not just impressed me but also impressed Madam Nevermore, aren't you really an interesting person?" Christian looked at her with a pale face, "I didn't try to impress anyone, I'm just being myself..." "That's a very unique way to impress someone," Aurora chuckled.Ezra was observing everything quietly.Madam Nevermore laughed, a real, hearty laugh that made her look very young and bright."You’ve got spirit," she said, glancing at t
WHY ME, THOUGH?
"Mrs. Nevermore," the attendant said with sudden respect, stepping aside as though making way for royalty. "She paid everything for you, Mr. Grey." Christian turned, confused, only to spot a familiar figure standing gracefully near the velvet-draped wall."Wait... Why is she giving familiar vibes?" Ezra whispered in Christian's ear, "Don't tell me you found another admirer..." "Shut up!" Christian gritted his teeth, which made the attendant flinch, "sir?"Christian smiled awkwardly and pointed at the bluetooth earphone in his ear, "I'm sorry, I'm talking to my assistant, I'm extremely sorry if I frightened you..." "No... No, not at all sir, you don't have to apologise," the attendant smiled humbly, Christian took a breath in relief because he is prepared for this kind of situation.The previous situations already gave him enough embarrassing moments because of Ezra who can't be seen by others, if they seen Christian talking to him, they thinks Christian is mad as if he is talking
IS THIS SOME KIND OF PRANK?
"You're interesting!" Ms. Kaelthorne smiled, her gaze unwavering, Christian chuckled softly, "I think you've said this thing at least twice, am I really that interesting?""Who knows?" Ms. Kaelthorne flipped her hair and placed a hair pin in Christian's hands, "By the way, I'm Aurora, keep this name in your mind… and let’s meet after the auction, use this pin as a token to meet me, Mr. Grey." Christian who didn't even have time to make an impression on her, "Well, are you leaving already?" "Are you missing me already? She laughed playfully, "Don't miss me too much, I've an important work, once I'm done, I'll spare some time for you..." With a graceful turn and final glance, she swept away, her dress trailing like a whisper behind her, that lingered just long enough to make Christian’s heart thump louder than it should, She just disappeared into the crowd like a shadow with perfume leaving soft traces.Christian just stood there, blinking like he’d been hit by a comet, a particular
