“Where did this Ezra go?” Christian sighed, stepping out of the shower, wiping his wet hair, Christian glanced at the invitation sent by Mrs. Nevermore, the warm feeling he got after meeting her is still hard to forget.

However he isn't sure whether he could meet her or not, because he isn't ready to reveal his identity yet, so decided to keep it aside till he makes up his mind whether to attend the party or not.

Christian took a look out at the huge glass windows being bored, the Sargent estate at night was a world apart from its daylight grandeur.

By day, it brimmed with chatter, lively, and carefully polished dignity, but by night, the halls were hushed, shadows stretching long against the marble, as if the house itself exhaled secrets too heavy for daylight.

Finally, since he was tired of staying within the room, he walked out of the room quietly, bare feet against the cold stone, the droplets from his wet hair still dripping slowly.

He should have been asleep by now already, but

"Chris," Luna placed her hand on Christian's shoulder, "what are you doing here?" Christian who was silently staring out of the huge windows turned to look at Luna, "nothing, just gathering my thoughts....." "I really don't understand," she passed a smile while handing a water bottle, "what's bothering you, is it because of Aurora Kaelthorne? Did she threaten you?" Christian opened the bottle cap smoothly, "well, I can't say no, at the same time, it's not like she is going to get us into trouble for real, actually to be frank, I myself don't understand anything Luna, sometimes I really don't understand what exactly I want!" "Huh?" "Luna," Christian stared at her with those gloomy eyes, "before, all I wanted was a peaceful life, and recognition as a part of family, not even once I craved for money or power, at this moment...." Luna came closer to Christian, "life is too mysterious, sometimes what we expect doesn't happen but what we doesn't expect happens, god is strange as well,
SO, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
"I don't think it's time to think about all these," Christian mumbled as he doesn't want to waste time on unnecessary things.The moment Aurora Kaelthorne left the building, he didn’t follow the praise, the congratulations, or Andrew’s dramatic commentary. Getting up, he walked out of the room to get himself a coffee before he come up with a plan of what to do next, after having a warm cup of coffee, his mind started functioning in a better way."I don't think I can stay low profile anymore," Christian sighed inwardly, "sooner or later, everything will be revealed, though Oliver is no longer there to compete, still I don't think it's simple yet for me to claim everything that belongs to me, I should be prepared for everything!" Once he was done with coffee and thinking about his future plans, Christian went straight to the executive conference room and sent a single message to the internal group channel."Emergency strategy meet, within ten minutes, I want all of you to be present!
I'M RICHER THAN THE SARGENT FAMILY
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Christian let out a slow sigh, running a hand through his hair as he looked at Aurora since he couldn't understand what exactly was going on in the mind of Aurora despite him trying his best to explain everything to make her realise she should give up on him but she is too stubborn to listen to him.She calmly got seated, her ankle resting on the chair, posture relaxed like she hadn’t just shattered his composure a few minutes ago. Her eyes were sharp, calculating, and oddly amused.Aurora lifted her chin slightly with a calm face staring into his eyes straight just like how her words are straightforward."Chris," she said calmly, "you might be a part of Sargent's family and heir of Sargent's family, but don’t forget something important." She stood up smoothly, ignoring the faint protest from her ankle. "I’m the heiress of the Kaelthorne family." Christian blinked once while hearing to her carefully."My family," she continued coolly with a prou
WHY NOT?
"I didn’t do anything," Christian said quietly.Aurora froze for a second, but her hand was still pressed against his chest, while fingers were trembling, eyes red and wet with unshed tears."I didn’t act that way to make anyone fall in love with me, especially you," he continued in a steady voice, neither being defensive, nor cold. "And I never had the intention of making anyone fall for me either." Aurora laughed bitterly at his statement. "Then why be like this? Why do you behave like this as if you're a gentleman?" Christian inhaled slowly, giving her time, and also giving himself time."I grew up watching my mother get mistreated," he said softly holding back himself not to break down as all the memories from the past surrounded him all at once. "I watched her get disrespected, silenced, broken… every single day, there's no single day passed in my life without seeing her tears, though it hurts that's how her life has been a hell with a man who didn't even give her the basic res
IS THAT IMPORTANT?
"I need to take care of something at the company, Rose," Christian said quietly. "I already promised Andrew that I'll be going to the company in the morning unfortunately I couldn't, at least now I should go." Rosaline sighed at his response, "Is it that important?" "Yes," Christian nodded his head with a determined face, "Of course it is important Rose, they must be panicking because of everything that's happening in the company right now, I need to be there with them, they stood by my side all the time, now whatever happening it's all because of me, shouldn't I be there to assure them everything will be okay? Isn't it my duty to take care of them?"Rosaline stared at him, arms crossed, eyes searching his face as if trying to read the thoughts he wasn’t saying aloud.She knew it's all because of Aurora, that woman targeted Christian and became the cause of all the mess, still, Christian isn't blaming her or talking ill about her, that single thing proved to Rosaline that Christian
YOU SCARED ME
"I still can't believe..." Christian didn’t remember the drive back. "I left that mansion!" He only remembered the moment the gates of Nevermore Mansion closed behind him, and how his chest felt strangely hollow the entire way, as if he had left something important behind without even knowing what it was.The car barely stopped in front of Rosaline’s guest house before the door got opened."Chris!"Rosaline ran straight toward him, not even caring that he hadn’t fully stepped out yet because she has been waiting for him all the night without even sleeping as she is worried about him from the moment Mrs. Nevermore has informed them about Christian staying at their mansion overnight.Immediately she wrapped her arms around him tightly, burying her face against his shoulder as if afraid he might disappear again, the thought of him disappearing made her heart clench in unexplainable pain and she was not ready to be separated from him even for a second."You scared me," she muttered. "Do
