WHAT DO YOU EVEN WANT?
"What else would you do if not answering?" Ezra sneered, "Do you think you're brave enough to cut the call?" Christian narrowed his eyes with a proud face, "Do you think I can't?" "Do it, she'll be here the next minute," Ezra whispered in a ghostly tone, making Christian to answer the call immediately out of fear that she might show up in person for real, he knew what might happen if she comes in person and he doesn't want to take a chance for it to happen."Hello!" The line crackled, and then came her unmistakable voice, rich and warm with a teasing undertone, "Took you long enough just to answer..." "I'm busy," Christian stammered pretending to be a busy person, "I've lot of things to deal with, so I didn't notice the call." He expected her to believe it, but she isn't someone who would buy his reasons, and she cleared her throat to speak, her voice came out to be sultry, amused, velvet threaded with teasing, "Really? That busy or were you staring at my gifts if not, are you im
DID YOU USE IT BEFORE?
"I mean," Christian sat on the edge of his bed, still holding the perfume bottle in one hand and the handwritten note in the other. "She is claiming ownership on me with every single thing here, can't you see that?" Ezra silently watched everything after hearing Christian's words, the silence in the room was heavy, not uncomfortable, but strange. Ezra's earlier smirk now tempered into a quiet, watchful expression."This person either makes me flustered or scary enough to make me shiver," Christian murmured in a low voice, "at this moment, I don't even know how to react..." Ezra tilted his head, folding his arms. "This isn’t just a crush, is it?" Christian didn’t respond immediately. He placed the note down carefully and turned the bottle over in his hands again, eyes narrowing slightly. "She got the scent right, Ezra, this perfume... no one’s supposed to know it, I haven’t used it in over a decade but the bottle of scent I used to fancy always." Ezra blinked. "Did you use it bef
COURTED?
"Uncle?" Christian groaned, dragging a hand through his hair. "What'll be even there in between me and her?"Liliana raised an eyebrow and smirked. "That’s exactly what we want to know, sweetheart, why don't you tell us?" "I mean, we thought you were just being polite to her before out of humanity," Betty added, folding her arms. "But this? Clothes? Shoes? Watches? Even perfume, this is way too much for politeness or humanity, isn't it?" "Perfume?" Christian repeated with a confused face.Charles grinned enjoying teasing Christian, "Oh yes, not just any perfume, limited edition, and imported, very rare to find, scents of temptation, looks like she knew more about your taste than us...." Lord Sargent let out a sigh, though a soft smile betrayed his amusement. "Enough now, you’re making him sweat, don't make fun of him...." Liliana chuckled, linking her arm through her father's. "Oh come on, Dad, let us have our fun with him, it’s not every day our Chrissy gets courted like a royal
SHE WHAT?
"Dre... Dream?" Luna stammered still being terrified of scenarios that played before her a few minutes back.Christian nodded his head while gently wiping off the sweat beads from her forehead with his handkerchief, "Yeah, you're mumbling of something like I didn't hurt her... I didn't hurt you, about whom you're talking about?" Luna looked pale being caught off guard, but trying her best to act normal, she lied, "Nothing..."Christian didn’t respond right away, he was watching her closely. Her face, though composed on the outside, trembled ever so slightly, her hands clenched the hem of her sleeve, and her voice had cracked as if her lie was too fragile to carry the weight of her fear."Nothing?" He repeated gently. "You're crying, Luna, you're trembling and looking all terrified, in a situation like this, how can you say it's nothing?""It's truly nothing Chris, when it's nothing, what else can I even say? Just listen to me, I don't have anything to say, a nightmare which I couldn
I DIDN'T HURT HER
"I don't kn... know..." Luna stammered trying to hold back the anxiety and nervousness deep in her heart, "I don't know what you're talking about...." Rosaline chuckled, "really? I thought we both knew each other so well... Too deep... Too strong... By any chance, don't you remember me?" Luna’s breath caught, but she didn’t move, Rosaline’s smile was polite, almost too perfect, "Come on, it's only two of us, why are you still trying to hide?" "You’re wrong!" Luna snapped, her voice trembling with panic. "I’m not whoever you think I am! Why are you annoying me? I did nothing... I know nothing.... Stop bothering me and leave me alone..." "Funny, isn’t it?" She continued. "How people wear new names, new faces… hoping the past won’t find them, but the past always clings, even if you lie, your memory doesn't lie, my memory doesn't lie, you remember each and everything from the past, don't you.... Luna? Or maybe I should call you with a different name? Maybe the real name of yours, shou
I WASN'T TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING
"What did you say?" Christian asked, furrowing his brows to concentrate on what Luna has said.Luna held the folder a bit too tightly being stiff in her seat. "I asked… are you really that close to Ms. Valemire?" She repeated, her tone colder than intended. "According to Oliver, she’s too protective of you, but as far as I know, you were close to no one but Mia back then, so, from where Ms. Valemire came all of a sudden to be that close to you?" Christian blinked. "Ms. Valemire?" He gave a short laugh. "Why are you addressing her like that? Do you know her family that well?" Luna’s face turned a little pale because of what Christian had said, she looked down, her silence lingering just a moment too long, "I… I just heard people mentioning her family name, that's it." "I see," Christian said slowly, observing her and her expression. "Rose... I mean, Ms. Rosaline and I aren’t that close… at the same time, it’s not like we’re strangers either, it’s kind of mixed to explain." He scrat
