"Chirp.... Chirp...."

Birds are early risers just like always, the morning did not feel like morning, it felt too quiet apart from the low Chirping sounds of birds.

It's not silent in the ordinary sense, but quiet in a way that made Christian aware of things he had never noticed before.

He opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling of his room, and for a few seconds, he didn’t move, he just simply listened.

The faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen, the soft shifting of fabric as Ad

BURN IT ALL
“Madam… This is the truth you’ve been looking for.”The assistant’s voice was steady, but there was an unmistakable weight behind the words as she stepped forward and placed a thick sealed file and a small black pendrive carefully on Aurora’s desk.Aurora did not touch them immediately, she simply stared at them without a word for a few seconds.For the past few weeks, she had been searching, digging through layers of silence, obstruction, and deliberate misdirection, following fragments that never formed a complete picture, chasing something she could feel but could never see.And now it was here…. Within reach.At first everything started with her just concentrating on company related matters, but before she could realise, things went further and dragged her into something she never expected to find out, and as a result of that, these things were brought by her assistant after continuous looking into many facts and truths.Finally her fingers moved slowly, almost cautiously, as if t

“Chris… Can you come here for a moment?”Adrian’s voice carried gently through the apartment, calm and warm, but beneath that calmness there was something attentive, something that had been watching and waiting for the right time to speak.Christian, who had been standing near the kitchen counter pretending to scroll through his phone without actually reading anything, lifted his head slowly, his eyes drifting toward Adrian, who stood near the living room window with a cup of tea resting in his hand.There was no urgency in Adrian’s posture, no command, but there was an unmistakable invitation as if there's something serious he needs to discuss.Christian hesitated for a brief second before walking toward him, his steps slower than usual, his thoughts heavier than he wanted to admit even to himself.“What happened? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Do you want anything?” Christian asked, trying to sound normal, but the faint tension in his voice betrayed him.Adrian did not answ

“I hate working days….” Christian frowned in sadness, “I prefer holidays…. I never felt like this… Even when I was at school, being an adult and craving for holidays really hit me differently than I expected!” Kicking the floor, he took few more steps ahead, “It's all because of him, Mr. Adrian, I thought of sleeping and chilling down on my bed for a whole day yesterday…. But for half a day I was stuck in a police station, another half a day gone grocery shopping, by night I slept off, next morning here I go…. Standing in the company, am I really supposed to suffer like this?” He has so many complaints about life, sometimes he feels like he is missing so many important things and drowning himself in company work, but he can't do anything as the things out of rush never end up with good results.Despite wanting to solely concentrate on finding his mother, Christian had to stop himself, since he has his own plans, doing it openly or giving his entire concentration to one thing always

“Why are we even here?” Christian looked at Adrian with a confused face after getting pulled along with Adrian to the police station.Adrian gently said, “Just a formality my dear, once we are done with our work, we will leave immediately, no need to worry about it.”“I already told you,” Christian groaned in frustration, “it's a small accident I'm not even hurt, why bother about dragging that poor driver to the police station? What if he is innocent and it's purely an accident? What about his family? If he has a wife and children, don't you think they'll be worried to hell….” Adrian looked at Christian who is kind enough to worry about the family of a person who almost dared to hurt him, “at this moment, I really don't know whom you take after…. Being kind towards even an enemy, what an innocent person are you! At this moment, I really want to hide you forever from this cruel world, I think that's the only way to protect you.” “Mr. Adrian…” Christian snapped his fingers in front of

"Are you sure about being okay?" Adrian checked Christian once again, despite checking for multiple times, still he isn't satisfied and making sure there's not even a single scratch on Christian's body.Though Christian nodded his head just to keep Adrian away from being worried about him.The sound of twisting metal still rang inside Christian’s ears long after the car stopped moving.Smoke curled upward from the crushed front of the black sedan, carrying with it the bitter smell of burned rubber and overheated machinery, and the concrete pillar it had struck stood scarred and cracked, as if it too had barely survived the collision.Christian’s heart refused to calm down, each beat hammering painfully against his ribs as his mind struggled to catch up with what had just happened, and though his body stood unharmed, his instincts had not yet accepted that he was safe.Adrian’s hands remained on his shoulders, firm and unyielding, as if he needed physical proof that Christian was still
A RARE AND INTRIGUING COMBINATION
"These are files you need to sign, Chris!""These are the documents you need to check, Chris!""These are the projects which need your presentation, Chris!""This is the schedule for your next week, Chris!" These are the continuous words that surrounded him for the whole day, even Christian completed all the tasks without any further delay. And the rest of the day refused to settle into anything that resembled normal.Christian tried to convince himself that it was nothing more than lack of sleep and leftover frustration, but the feeling persisted in ways he could neither explain nor ignore.Though he tried to bury himself in extra work even after completing all the tasks, it felt kind of troublesome to him.He sat behind his desk, files open, numbers waiting for his attention, yet his focus slipped repeatedly, not because the work was difficult, but because something inside him refused to relax.It was subtle at first, a faint awareness that existed beneath his thoughts.Not a soun
