DO YOU KNOW WHO IS IT?
"Are you sure you want to go to the company today? Don't you want extra rest?" Adrian’s voice carried a quiet concern as he stood near the entrance, watching Christian adjust his sleeve with a calmness that did not match the weight of everything that had happened in the past few days, and although the question sounded simple, it held a deeper meaning that neither of them needed to explain aloud.Christian did not look at him immediately.Instead, he picked up his phone from the table and slipped it into his pocket before replying in a steady tone."I’ve stayed away long enough," he said. "If I disappear now, it will only make things more obvious.... Moreover, I heard so many times from my grandfather that, personal things should never affect professional life." Adrian studied him carefully, and replied, "Things are already obvious." Christian allowed a faint smile as he said, "Then there’s no harm in acting normal, it's not like I can hide forever Mr. Adrian, I have to face whateve
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE IT
"What happened Mr. Adrian? Why do you look like that?"The question came unexpectedly, yet it carried a quiet weight that made Adrian’s chest tighten for a brief second, because he had not even noticed when Christian had stepped out of his room until those words reached him.The apartment had fallen into a deep silence after Salvatore left, and Adrian had been standing near the center of the living room, lost in his thoughts, replaying every word his father had spoken as if trying to find a way to deny them.But now, Christian was standing there calmly almost too calmly.Adrian turned immediately, his reaction sharper than he intended, and his eyes moved quickly across Christian’s face as if searching for something he could not quite name."Chris…" Adrian began, his voice steady but carrying a hint of urgency he could not hide completely, "since when were you awake?" Christian walked a few steps closer, his posture relaxed, his expression neutral in a way that revealed nothing, and h
YOU ARE STILL THE SAME
"You still believe you can handle everything on your own, don’t you?"The question settled heavily in the room, cutting through the tension that had been building between them, and Adrian did not respond immediately because for the first time he found himself without a clear answer to give.Salvatore watched him in silence before continuing in the same calm, unwavering tone, making it clear that he had no intention of softening his words."Your refusal will not stop what is coming Rian," he said steadily, "it will only ensure that he remains unprepared when it finally reaches him.... That boy might be young, but whatever power he holds, it's not simple for him to remain a normal boy." Adrian shook his head slowly, forcing himself to remain composed despite the growing pressure inside his chest."I will handle it, I can handle it," he replied, his voice firm but lacking the certainty it once carried so easily. "How to handle things around my son is upto me, you're not the one to decid
THEN ACT LIKE YOU KNOW IT
"You have delayed this long enough." The voice came before the presence fully settled into the room, calm yet carrying a weight that made the air itself feel heavier, and the moment those words reached Adrian’s ears, his expression changed completely as he turned slowly toward the entrance.The apartment door stood slightly open.No sound of it unlocking, no footsteps announcing arrival, and yet someone had entered, that someone is none other than the old master of the Salvatore family, the surname Adrian discarded.Adrian’s eyes darkened instantly."I was wondering when you would decide to show up," Adrian said calmly, though the tension in his voice made it clear that this was not a visit he welcomed. "I clearly told you already neither me nor my son needs your presence in our lives, so I advise you to stay away from us." Standing near the doorway, an older man stepped fully into the light.His posture was straight, his presence composed, and his expression carried the kind of qui
DO NOT ELIMINATE HIM YET
“You speak as if you have already accepted that possibility.”Adrian’s voice was steady when he said those words, though the seriousness in his eyes made it clear he had not taken Christian’s statement lightly after hearing him calmly claim that his life might no longer belong to him the moment he attempted to obtain the final fragment of the amulet.Christian remained standing beside the table, the three metal fragments resting quietly in his palm as the faint light of the room reflected across their engraved surfaces.For a moment he did not answer.Then a faint smile appeared on his lips, though it carried none of the carefree warmth he had once shown so easily.“Some goals are worth risking everything for,” Christian replied calmly. “Some people are worthy of every sacrifice we are making!” Adrian studied his face carefully, and said slowly, “You are speaking like someone who has already decided the outcome of that risk.” Christian did not deny it.Instead he lowered his gaze to
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
