WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
"Is this the so-called party?" Lord Sargent asked, his tone carrying the weight of disinterest and old pride. "Didn’t we ever have a better party than this before? Is it really necessary for us to attend, Amelia?"Before Amelia could answer, Christian spoke gently, reminding him about their past conversation, "Grandpa, please don’t forget your promise."The old man turned his head slightly, raising an eyebrow as if he forgot what he promised. "Promise? Remind me which one...." Christian exhaled quietly, his gaze steady yet gentle. "The one you made just a few days back, when you said you’d attend a party with me and grandma, no questions asked, didn't you?"Lord Sargent hummed quietly. "Ah, that one.... Yes, I did say that." A few days back, despite Amelia requesting Christian not to mention about the party with Lord Sargent, still, Christian pulled a brave act to talk with him.Reaching to Lord Sargent's study, Christian calmly greeted him with a tea cup, "good evening grandpa, hot
RUMOURS AREN'T ALWAYS TRUE
••NO POV••"I didn’t think much," Christian admitted in steady yet but thoughtful tone, and took a quiet breath, as the weight of her words stirring something in his chest "I’m just waiting for a chance.... A perfect chance, nothing more than that." Rosaline hummed in response, her thumb brushing lazily against his hand. "And for that…" she tilted her head, while narrowing her eyes slightly with suspicion, "by any chance, are you planning to get closer to Aurora?" Christian blinked, and caught off guard for a moment before letting out a small sigh. "No.... no way," he said firmly with a determined mind. "She went too far this time, I've been very patient, trying myself to understand her since both of us are getting forced into this alliance, but she is already close to ruining my family’s reputation, framing my own people for her selfishness, and she doesn’t even realize it." Rosaline gave him a long, and knowing look, Christian is someone very kind and understanding, he'll never
THAT'S BECAUSE I'M CHARMING
••NO POV••"Huh?" Christian looked flustered after hearing to what Rosaline has said, but she was same as always, "I know you heard me well, if you don't want me to say it aloud enough for everyone to hear, then...." "Let's go," Christian immediately got up from the couch, and looked at his aunts and uncles with an awkward face, "Well, I need some rest, how about we talk later?" Charles nodded his head with a grin, "Sure... Sure, go ahead." Lowering his head, Christian went upstairs in a rush, Rosaline followed right behind him, once inside the room, Christian sat on the bed with a sigh, "Day by day you're teasing me too much, did you see the way uncle looked at me? I'm too embarrassed!" "It's not my fault," she sat beside him and softly placed her hand on his shoulder as if she was trying to overpower him, "It's you who is out of control and I should use my ways to keep you in control." Christian rolled his eyes, while muttering something deep inside.Rosaline didn’t move her h
THEN, WHY AREN'T YOU CLOSE ANYMORE?
••NO POV••"You’ve gone quiet for so long," Amelia gently said. "Only to ask this, my boy?" Christian looked at her with an awkward face, "Well, grandma, it's just I'm not sure whether to ask or not, but I was little curious about the relationship in between Mrs. Nevermore and you, since you both spoke to each other in a very warm way, that's why I want to know more, can you tell me?" The question made Amelia pause for a few minutes. After a moment, her eyes softened with nostalgia, then dimmed with something that looked more like regret filled pain. "Oh, it’s been… more years than I can count," she said, lowering herself gracefully onto the place beside him. "We met when we were about your age, two foolish young girls in finishing school, trying to prove who could outshine the other, very independent minded, ready to achieve many things...." A faint chuckle escaped her. "She was fiery, sweet, and quick-witted... I, on the other hand, was stubborn and bold. But somehow, that worke
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU ALL
"Am I here at the wrong time?"The voice automatically made everyone turn toward the doorway, and the one standing there was Mrs. Nevermore, elegant as ever, dressed in a soft silver outfit, a string of pearls glimmering faintly around her neck. Her presence always carried a quiet grace, the kind that filled a room without needing to say a word."Mrs. Nevermore!" Amelia exclaimed warmly, a smile breaking through the worry that had lingered on her face moments ago. "What a sudden surprise to find you at our home! How long has it been since we met?" The older woman returned the smile, her tone was light and affectionate. "Far too long, Mrs. Sargent, finally got time to see you, I almost thought you’d forgotten me completely.""How could I ever?" Amelia replied, gently clasping her hands. "Though we met only a few times, every time I met you, it was a wonderful moment, please, come in, you're always welcome here."Mrs. Nevermore stepped inside the grand hall, her gaze wandering fondly
I PROMISE!
“Yeah, everything is fine!” “He can be discharged now…” A soft hum of voices stirred Christian from his deep sleep, his surroundings were no longer flickering or trembling to startle him, just bathed in the pale gold of early sunlight streaming through the large windows.For a brief second, he wondered if everything last night had been just a dream, the shadow, the red glow, the voice that called him my boy, almost everything felt unreal in the morning.He turned his head, blinking against the light, making sure he was in the same room, surprisingly Luna sat beside his bed, flipping through a set of medical papers, her hair tied loosely as a bun, while a faint yawn escaped her lips.“Good morning,” she greeted him with a bright smile. "Did you sleep well last night? Feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Christian was calm for a minute, while Luna gently spoke, "The doctor said you're fine and we can leave now, he prescribed only a few medications since you inhaled a huge amount of smoke
