2024-12-04 14:41:39"No matter how many times you call for him, he won't be coming honey." Teresa appeared beside Morris, frowning slightly, as she remembered none being at home in their absence, apart from Christian all alone locked in the attic, still she spoke in an indifferent tone,
"Why?" Morris questioned in a frustrated tone, to which Teresa shrugged, as if it were no more than a passing inconvenience, "our butler left days ago to look after his sick mother, when he is not even here, how can he answer you?" Morris was stunned for a moment hearing to Teresa, a flicker of guilt appeared in his face as he almost became speechless, "So, Chris has been here for three days without food or water?" "Maybe, I don't know either," Teresa replied awkwardly, not wanting to be blamed, "he did something wrong and he was punished, I can't be punished for his mistakes, right?" Morris couldn't help but to question her, "even so, he was left with no food and water for almost three days, why didn't you remind me?" "So, are you blaming me now for this idiot?" Teresa fumed with anger pointing at Christian, "don't forget, he is the reason why our Ivan is injured, even at that moment, there's no regret in him, rather he acted stubborn and you punished him, so in the end are you blaming me, just because I'm his stepmother?" Teresa faked her tears, not wanting Morris to feel sympathized with Christian's condition, Morris immediately held her hand, "I'm not blaming you my love, of course it is his fault for hurting our precious son." Christian despite being in a weak state, hearing all their words faintly made his heart clench with a bitter pain. He knew he hadn't done anything wrong to be punished like this, but he is getting punished simply for existing, for daring to stand in the way of their perfect family. Morris took a step closer, once again checked Christian's weak form with a worried look, and a slight regret started building in him, "looks like, he is really in a serious condition just as Ivan described," But his expression hardened again just as quickly, as though he couldn’t bear to feel any compassion. "If he had admitted he was wrong, I could've forgiven him, but he is stubborn like a bull and ended up in this situation, letting us to blame ourselves," He muttered, almost as if he were trying to convince himself that everything is the fault of Christian, "how can I blame myself for his stupidity?" Morris kicked Christian's body, there's no reaction from Christian, so he decided to check on Christian once again, but at the time his phone rang. He saw the name of the caller and asked quickly, "Have you contacted the Sargent family? I really need their help..." As he said that, he walked quickly towards the warm room, completely forgetting to check on Christian's condition. Teresa and Ivan looked at each other and smiled evilly. "It’s freezing out here. Let’s go inside,” Ivan said, gesturing to Teresa, they retreated to the warm living room, leaving Christian alone in the storm dying. Outside, the snow continued to fall, piling higher around Christian's body. He swayed, his strength was totally gone. His vision blurred, but he heard a voice in his subconscious mind. "you'll be fine Chris, I'll protect you." Christian felt inwardly, "is it real? Or is it just my mind slipping away with imaginations?" Suddenly, the roar of engines shattered the silence of the storm. One after another, shining and luxurious black cars pulled into the driveway, their headlights cutting through the storm. The Sargent family had arrived at Adam's estate. The doors of the first car opened, and Betty Sargent the eldest daughter stepped out, her long coat billowing around her as she strode toward the house. Her expression was calm, but there was an urgency in her every step, kicking the gate, she got in, she remembered, Christian telling about being in the backyard, so wasting no time, Betty went into the backyard. As she approached, her sharp eyes caught sight of a figure half-buried in the snow. Her heart clenched at the miserable sight in front of her. "Oh my God!" she gasped heavily, rushing forward. "There’s someone here!" The guards of the Sargent family hurried after her, along with Liliana Sargent and Lord Sargent, their elegant appearances contrasting sharply with the storm’s fury. Betty fell to her knees beside Christian, brushing the snow from his face. Her breath was struck as she looked at his features. "This boy," she whispered, but then her eyes widened in shock. "He... he looks just like our Marie." Her voice broke the silence, and the others gathered around. Gasps and murmurs filled the air as they saw him. Lord Sargent, the patriarch of the family, pushed through everyone. When his eyes landed on Christian, his expression crumbled. "He looks just like my precious daughter," Lord Sargent choked out, tears streaming down his face, "he must be my grandson Chris." Betty’s eyes caught the glint of the amulet in Christian’s hand. She carefully taken it from his frozen fingers, her own trembling as she held it up. "Father, this amulet... It belongs to Mary, he is your grandson for sure." "Oh my goodness! We finally met our nephew, he must be our Mary's son!" Liliana, the second eldest daughter of Lord Sargent burst into tears. Gasps filled through everyone as they recognized it. The grief they had carried for years finally got a relief but mingled with fury. "How could this happen?!" Betty demanded with a shaking voice out of concern and anger. "Who left him out here like this?" Lord Sargent straightened using a voice as hard as steel. "Let's take him to the hospital, right now." Morris was worrying about how to get in touch with the Sargent family, but the guard suddenly walked in. "Master, there are a group of people outside, they claim to be from the Sargent family..." "What!" Morris was overjoyed. Could it be that the friend he asked for had helped him contact the Sargent family? But they shouldn't come so quickly! Morris didn't have time to think about it. He quickly put on his suit and tidied his hair, ready to leave a good impression on the Sargent family. "Where are they?" He asked the guard while getting dressed. "The backyard... They came in from the back door..." The guard said hesitantly. "What!" Morris was shocked. His rubbish son was still kneeling in the backyard! If Christian were to offend the Sargent family because of him, the Adams family's business would not only be unable to be saved, but would go bankrupt completely! "This animal! Drag him out of there immediately , and don't let him offend the Sargent family!" Morris ran to the backyard while getting dressed.

"The Sargent family," a maid said in a trembling voice, "they left already." "What?" Both Morris and Teressa exchanged their glances. Teressa frowned at the maid, "what do you mean by they left, how can they leave without meeting my husband?" The maid shook her head as she had a lot to say, "actually they didn't leave by themselves, they left along with young master Chris." "Huh?" Morris's emotions looked unstable as at that moment a mixture of confusion, anger, and frustration filled in him hearing to the words of that maid. While he had waited for hours, expecting to meet them, but all he had received was a message from a maid saying they had already left with Christian, the useless guy in the house.

"As you command my Lord!" Bowing his head, butler left the room. "Father, I informed the brothers too, they said they'll be here in a few minutes," Betty informed Lord Sargent in a calm tone. Lord Sargent nodded, and shifted his concentration back to Christian who is still unconscious, "weak and fragile, yet those monsters dared to hurt him!" Christian’s weak body moved slightly, and he could hear a soft voice, "father, he is moving!" It's an unfamiliar voice, which he never heard, trying his best, he opened his eyes, but bright light made him blink hard, the blues of his scanned the entire room and met unfamiliar faces surrounding him.

Christian asked in a surprised tone, Liliana nodded with a frown. The door to the room burst open, and two middle-aged men rushed inside.

"I’ve searched everywhere, sir," the assistant stammered, calmly wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, "But I couldn't find the whereabouts of young master Christian, it’s almost like he’s vanished, I'm sorry sir." Morris shouted while stomping his foot. "How is that possible? He couldn’t have gone far, he is a useless young boy, where could he go? He must be taken by that Sargent family for sure." "No sir, there's something else I need to inform you," the assistant hesitated before continuing further. "I’ve received information that the entire Sargent family has returned to their family mansion. You know their rules, no outsiders are ever allowed inside, no matter the circumstances, so I'm sure there's no possibility of our young master Christian being with them." Morris froze for a minute.

"What exactly are you talking about Lily?" Amelia asked curiously looking at her daughter.Just like Amelia, everyone looked curiously at Liliana, as she said something out of a sudden.However, Liliana, ever the composed lawyer, tapped her manicured nails against the stack of papers she had checked thoroughly.The fluorescent light caught the sharp glint in her eyes as she finally spoke."Father, look at this," she said, sliding the documents across the table. Her voice was low, but there was an undertone of urgency. "It’s clearly mentioned in a small clause, though everything belongs to Chris, one thing to be noticed that it will be completely his only when he turns 21. Until then, the guardian he recognizes has control over his property, that's why Morris and his family have been enjoying everything till now."

IS THAT WHY YOU DISAPPEAR SOMETIMES?
"Why is even normal sleep became hard for me to afford?" Christian hadn’t slept at all. "Arghhh, why are these nightmares haunting me, why couldn't I even get some proper sleep?" After the dream, or illusion, or whatever it was, he’d stayed curled beneath the blankets, eyes wide open, listening to the tick of the old wall clock and the distant creaks of the manor settling in the cold night. "At this moment with lack of sleep, I might even turn into a zombie," He sighed within himself, "Turning into a zombie with no sleep and stress must be just a matter of time, I can really feel it." The image of the chained beast behind the gate kept playing behind his eyes, the way it had looked at him, spoken into his mind.'My key.'Even now, hours later, the words haunted him like a curse.Though he isn't sure whether it is that beast that spoke to him or not, but deep inside his consciousness, he could feel that it's none other than that beast which spoke to him."Ezra, I'm waiting for you,
MY KEY
"Do you think it's okay?""Of course, it is okay...." "Aren't we here on that purpose only?" "Did you even check whether he is asleep or not?" "My enchanting voice can make anyone fall asleep in seconds..." The voices came from the golden light particles that surrounded Christian while he was in his deep sleep."We have to keep our promise which we made to Marie." "He is asleep, let us show the truth through his dream." Strange voices reached his ears but he still couldn't understand what exactly it was, as he was already enveloped in deep slumber.The world around Christian twisted like wet paint swirling in water. One second he was lying in bed, and the next, he stood in the middle of a vast courtyard that felt like it had been pulled from another timeline.The sky above was the color of fresh blood, deep red streaks smeared across black clouds. The ash rained softly like snow. The air was thick, and suffocating, nothing giving familiar vibes apart from creating goosebumps
IT'S TIME!
"Do what?" Christian laughed, glancing over at Luna with one eyebrow arched in amusement.Luna folded her arms, pouting dramatically as Christian acting as if he didn't understand what she is trying to say, "Don’t act innocent now, Chris… You know what I mean, don't you?" He leaned back against the car seat, arms resting on the steering wheel, "You'll have to be a little more specific, miss drama queen, only then I'll be able to understand."She gasped, feigning hurt, "Drama queen? Is that how you treat the woman who just saved you from a raging hurricane disguised as a human girl?"Christian chuckled, tilting his head slightly. "You mean Mia?"Luna grinned, moving closer to him, "That’s right, I stood by your side and endured her shrieking, so now you're indebted to me." He raised a brow teasing her. "What? Indebted? Do you want a medal? Gold or silver?""Nope," she said, popping the ‘p’. Then, with a playful twinkle in her eyes, she added, "I want ramen." Christian blinked with
WHAT DID SHE MEANT BY YOU OWE HER?
"You owe me, you owe me forever," Mia screamed aloud from behind, "You've to be grateful for me forever." But Christian no longer wants to entertain her nonsense.The heavy door slammed behind them, muffling Mia’s shrill screams.Christian strode ahead without a word, his hand still wrapped tightly around Luna’s, his pace fast and furious. His shoulders were rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly that the vein in his neck pulsed visibly.Luna followed without protest, sensing the storm raging inside him.She stumbled in one place because of his fast walking, as he turned back, she smiled awkwardly, understanding that he needs to slow down, silently he slowed his pace for her.Noticing his slow pace, Luna smiled inwardly, "Oww! My kind Chris! If you're this kind and sweet, who'll not fall for you? I don't understand why that annoying bitch couldn't see this side of yours, if it's me who got all that care and attention from you the same way she got, I could've cherished you forever in my
I NEVER NEEDED HIM!
"I hate you," Mia snapped at Christian foolishly without even understanding what exactly Christian has done, more importantly why exactly he did it, "you deserve that slap."She raised her hand once again to slap Christian to ease her anger, but her hand was pushed away, and a loud, sharp slap cracked through the room.Mia stumbled back, clutching her burning cheek, staring at Luna in utter shock, because it was Luna who reacted to the earlier slap instead of Christian."You dare lay your hands on me?" Mia stared at her in disbelief, "You... How can you a lowlife bitch dare too...." "I should have done it long ago!" Luna shouted, trembling with anger because of the pain in Christian's eyes, "How dare you hurt my Chris like this? All he's ever done is show you kindness, and you repay him with betrayal and poison! Rather than going in his way letting you to be devoured by these predators, he stepped in to save your dignity today, but what exactly did you do? You neither understood his
WHY DID YOU EVEN SLAP ME?
"Okay then, I'll make it fast," Christian said walking into the bathroom to get freshen up.To wait for Christian, Luna went downstairs, and found Amelia sitting there already, with a smile, she sat comfortably on the living room sofa, absently swinging her legs as she waited for Christian to come downstairs. Across from her, Amelia sat with a warm smile, knitting something soft and blue between her fingers."So, did he wake up?" Amelia asked with a smile, Luna nodded her head, "Yes, Mrs. Sargent, he woke up." Amelia sighed at the formal way of calling by Luna, "What Mrs. Sargent? Call me grandma, you're Christian's friend, which means granddaughter to me also, so don't be formal with me." "Grandma," Luna called her with a lot of hesitation, Amelia smiled at her, "Exactly, call me like that only." Luna nodded her head with a gentle smile."What about Chris? Is he still getting ready?" Amelia asked looking towards the stairs, Luna nodded her head, "Yeah, he said he'll be freshen u
A DATE WITH LUNA?
"Hey... Hey..." Ezra sighed looking at Christian who is lying on bed, "It's not even afternoon, are you sure about sleeping?" Christian glared at him, "Are you even sure about asking me?" "Huh?" "In the name of training, I got bullied there, as if that isn't enough, you and your commentary from behind," Christian gritted his teeth, "Even after three hours of shower, the dirt in my body didn't leave as if I took a mudbath, I'm tired as hell, can't you see my condition?" Ezra didn't argue, just scratched his head with an awkward smile.Closing his eyes, Christian said, "I want to sleep, please don't disturb me." With a silent hum, Ezra left from there, and for Christian, it didn't took much of time for him to fall asleep, within no time, he was pulled into a deep slumber.For hours, he slept peacefully totally forgetting the time.In his deep sleep, he stood at the foot of the massive gate, its wrought-iron bars stretching far above him, disappearing into a sky that was unnaturally
BRING IT ON
"Chris..."His name from Thalia made him immediately concentrate on the puzzles and riddles, though some of those puzzles seemed like an alien language in the beginning, but somehow, he managed to solve them in the end.Glancing at him carefully, Thalia asked, "Are you curious about this language and signs?" "Yes," Christian nodded his head, "Actually I never learnt this language, neither I heard nor witnessed these signs before, then how come I understand very easily as if I learned these for so long?" Thalia chuckled looking at Christian's curiousity and felt inwardly, "After he is still a child, no matter how powerful he is or something, still the heart of a child is pure and naive, how am I going to turn this pure child into a ruthless and strong man? If he isn't ruthless enough, the others will look down on him and takes advantage of him and his powers, at the sametime the change doesn't come overnight, maybe I should be patient around him." "I'll tell you," She gently caresse
I'M NOT A KINDERGARTEN STUDENT
"Time for practice, prince," Ezra's voice made Christian to stir in sleep, but he groaned, "Leave me alone Ezra, I want to sleep some more time."Ezra leaned closer and whispered in Christian's ear, "It's not me who'll tolerate you just because you're adorable, it's Ms. Thalia, known as hell queen, can you handle her wrath when she finds you're disobedient like this?" With a sigh, Christian sat up on the bed, Ezra chuckled at Christian's pout, but didn't say anything just laughing while watching Christian getting out of the bed and walking while muttering in anger.The sun was barely awake when Christian stumbled onto the training grounds, rubbing his eyes and yawning so hard his jaw cracked. "Not even woken up from sleep, but I'm forced to wake up, why?" Christian complained looking at the sky, Ezra shrugged his shoulders, "Why don't you question her rather than me?" Christian just rolled his eyes, and his muscles still ached from yesterday’s chaos, the memory, the visions, the tr
