The Lost Heir Of Sargent I'M GOING TO BE DECLARED INSANE
"Are you okay?" Luna’s gentle voice broke through his occupied thoughts, her eyes glancing at him with extreme concern.The atmosphere was lively, filled with conversations about the grand birthday party, soft laughter, and the distant clinking of champagne glasses. But despite the celebration environment, Christian seemed to be lost with a distant look on his face, with thoughts refusing him from enjoying the party.However Luna's voice brought him back to the present, he forced a smile for her, "Yeah, I'm okay."Luna frowned, clearly unconvinced by his lie. "You don’t have to act strong all the time, Chris, it’s okay to be weak sometimes at least in front of the people who care about you." He hummed in response, his lips curving into a small yet grateful smile. "Thanks for saying that."Before they could've had further conversation, a voice disturbed him."Chris… Chris…"Christian turned to find Ezra standing beside him, with a tensed expression, raising a brow silently, Christian
The Lost Heir Of Sargent HOW ABOUT I GIVE THEM SOME SPECIAL HOSPITALITY MYSELF?
"Finally, they're here," Ezra sighed, sparing a glance at Christian.While Christian watched Morris, Teresa, and Ivan approached, his expression turned out to be something different, unreadable.But deep inside, he scoffed. "Shameless! They really had the audacity to show up here after everything." However his glance landed on the injuries of Ivan and Teresa, and he instantly pieced everything together, with a satisfied smirk, "So, they've been enjoying my fate now, huh? Very impressive!" Morris stepped forward first, his face twisted into a mix of self-righteousness and fake concern."Chris, my dear son, I put in so much effort raising you, how can you abandon your father like this?" His voice was strained, his eyes filled with tears, as if he were genuinely hurt. "I know you favor your maternal family now just because they’re richer than me, but what about before? Back then, they abandoned you and your mother. I was the one who stayed by your side, I loved her, I raised you with a
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WHAT DID I EVEN DO?
"For sure, Chris," Edmund nodded, giving an opportunity for Christian to take the lead, everyone looked at Lord Sargent who is having a proud look on his face, as if he is expecting this moment."Do you think, dad got powers of foresight?" Charles whispered to Liliana, making her look confused, "I suspect the same, if not, how come everything is interlinked?" Betty sighed smacking on the heads of her youngest siblings, "That's not what you're supposed to be concerned about!" Both Liliana and Charles hissed rubbing their heads which were smacked by Betty."You're supposed to think about whether Chris can handle them or not," Betty huffed crossing her arms, "No matter, how well Chris is prepared, those bastards schemes aren't something he can handle, it's better to be prepared with a plan B." Liliana took out her mobile and placed her screen visible enough for Betty and Charles, with a smirk, "Plan B, okay?" "Damn brat!" Charles grabbed the mobile, "How come you're a way step ahead
The Lost Heir Of Sargent I'M A LIAR?
"The hell they did to me," Christian let out a bitter chuckle,while his eyes hiding an ocean of emotions.He stared at the screen, while the old wounds making new pain in his heart, as watching his past torment play out in front of everyone digging up more pain in his heart.Gasps filled the hall, whispers bubbling up as realization dawned on the crowd."He… he didn’t hurt Ivan?" "Then all these days, he was blamed for nothing?" "They nearly killed him over a lie!" Once the video ended, James handed Christian a stack of documents, which he promptly threw at Ivan's face. Christian said loud enough for everyone to hear, "That day I was locked up in a dark and cold room, without food and water, I was forced to live for damn two days, while these three, especially this so-called father who is drowning in sorrow by missing me, the very same father enjoyed camping with his dearest son, for two days they had camping while I was starved and waiting with a hope for them to return." Luna s
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WHAT PROOF?
"I still remember that day," Luna said with reddened eyes, "Chris ran to you just to ask why you're ignoring him, but he was thrown out of your house while your so-called father ordered the guards that someone like Chris isn't allowed to your house, he stood under the rain for whole day expecting you to see him, while you were busy entire day with Ivan and others enjoying your tea party." Christian looked at Luna with a surprised face, she smiled faintly, "That day I was also invited to that party Chris, after knowing about you standing there in rain, I lied to you in call that Teresa went out of city for a week just to send you back." The blood drained from Mia’s face."You see, Mia," Christian continued, not understanding what to say to her, "You are speaking of betrayal as if you weren’t the first to turn your back on me. As if you weren’t the first to cast me aside the moment I lost my value, do you have any answer for this?" Before she could try out a weak defense, Christian t
The Lost Heir Of Sargent CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS!
"Edward," Lord Sargent glanced at Edward, with a simple nod from his father, Edward immediately left the room, his swift departure raising whispers among the guests."Where did he go?" "What kind of proof is it?" "Is there any other proof apart from DNA test results?" Christian, standing at the center of it all, felt a deep unease crawling under his skin.Ivan whispered in Mia's ear, "Mia, do you think Chris would prove?" Mia shook her head, "No, he can't, he'll never be able to prove, since he isn't the one, I'm sure about that..." "What is happening here?" Christian wondered, his fingers subtly clenching into fists.Ezra, standing by his side, chuckled softly, his tone evident with both amusement and admiration."Who knows? But one thing is certain," Ezra mused, tapping his hand on Christian's shoulder, "Your grandfather is not an ordinary man, he knows everything." Christian’s gaze turned toward Ezra. "What do you mean?"Ezra smirked with a sly smile. "He already knew about yo
The Lost Heir Of Sargent YOU'RE OFFICIALLY THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD!
"Who is that?" Christian had heard a voice, loud and clear but when he looked around, no one else seemed to react as there was a heavy silence settled in the grand hall.He stood still, his gaze locked onto the crystal before him, while his hands clenched unconsciously with uneven breath as he couldn't figure out from where the voice came.Luna broke the hug and at Christian who isn't uttering a single word, "Chris, what's wrong? Why are you so silent?" She looked genuinely concerned by his silence, caressing his face, he tried to make him look into her eyes.Christian’s lips parted slightly. "Didn’t you hear that?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper."Hear what?" Luna blinked in confusion.Christian furrowed his brows. "A voice came Just now, you really didn’t hear it?"Luna shook her head. "No, I didn’t hear anything, I was right here by your side but I didn't hear anything...." Christian was slightly surprised to hear that there's no voice throughout the time in between the glo
The Lost Heir Of Sargent ARE YOU HIS FATHER?
"Richest man?" Christian mumbled in confusion, Luna nodded her head with bright eyes, "You've no competition here after!" The grand banquet hall which was supposed to be filled with laughter and celebration filled with tension.Luna’s words hung in the air like a bomb waiting to explode."Is he the richest man in the world now?"One of the guests gasped, Christian stood frozen, his mind racing to grasp the reality of it. He had never expected this, never even considered the possibility. All his life, he craved for nothing but love, but he was treated as nothing till before, and now, here he was, standing on top of the world while the so-called heir had been left with scraps.A murmur spread through the crowd like wildfire."Morris only got a position and a few shares? That’s nothing compared to what Christian has.""Everyone assumed Morris was the real owner… but Mateo Adams left him with almost nothing?""This means Christian owns everything, every business, every estate, every i

IS THIS HOW YOU'RE GOING TO TREAT YOUR SAVIOUR?
"Uncle, do you really think I’d assault a sick woman?" Christian asked, his voice still hoarse with exhaustion, but frustration is evident in both his face and voice.Rosaline threw the covers off and stood abruptly from the bed. "Sick woman? Who are you calling sick? I was just sleeping, you brat!" Christian scoffed and crossed his arms at her foolishness still not accepting her condition, "Sleeping? Excuse me, for how many years now? If you don't believe in a brat like me, ask your biological father the one standing beside you..." Rosaline blinked in confusion, and turned to her father in disbelief. "Dad? What nonsense is this guy speaking?" Charles stepped forward, placing a steady hand on Christian’s shoulder. "He’s not lying, Rosaline… you’ve been lying on this bed unconscious for the past three years, and today only you woke up for the first time after three years." Lord Valemire nodded his head agreeing with Charles's words, "It’s true, Rose, you collapsed from some unknown
AM I DREAMING OR IS IT REAL?
"I don't know what I did, I'm tired as hell," Christian sighed wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Ezra chuckled hearing to him but still beaming with pride because of Christian's selflessness and efforts to save a complete stranger.The room was quiet again, as neither of them spoke.Christian remained seated near Rosaline’s bedside, the faint sound of his own heartbeat filling the silence. The black smoke had disappeared after the purification pill took effect, but his relief didn’t last long.A sudden wave of thick, inky darkness began curling around Rosaline once more, moving like a serpent seeking its prey.Ezra’s voice immediately reached Christian, "It’s returning, her energy is too weak to hold off the evil energy, the curse is eating away at her from within, and trying to corrupt her soul..." Christian frowned rubbing his temples. "But I already gave her the purification pill, what more do I do? Any spell?" Ezra sighed, his tone filled with urgency. “One pill isn’t eno
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE RISK FOR HER?
"Mr. Charles, Master wants to meet you," a guard announced, bowing respectfully at the doorway, "He is waiting for you in his study." Charles turned to Christian with a conflicted glance, the guard informed, "Master wants only you to meet him, Mr. Charles, he said young master Christian can wait in madam Rosaline's room till you come back for him." "Ummm... But, my nephew," Charles hesitated, and Christian who knew this is the opportunity for him to be alone with Rosaline has said, "It's okay uncle, I can wait here till you come back, so, don't worry about me and go to meet Mr. Valemire." Charles nodded and caressed Christian's hair, "I think it's better for you to wait inside the room itself, I’ll be back as soon as possible, stay here only till I come back." Christian nodded quietly like an obedient child.Charles then looked at the maid standing nearby. "He’s a bit shy around strangers, he'll be staying in Rosaline’s room till I return, please look after him." The maid blinked
SHE IS INSIDE
"Ezra, can you pull that curtain away?" Christian groaned sleepily not wanting his sleep to be disturbed, while Ezra sighed, "It's already morning Chris, day by day you're becoming lazy." With a huff, Christian got up and sat, "Ms. Thalia isn't here, at least at times like this, am I not supposed to be happy and enjoying?" "You can," Ezra said with a smile, "but you need to wake up too from the sleep, you can't be sleeping whole day..." Christian shook his head, "Last night, I've been thinking Ezra." "Thinking? What?" Ezra looked confused.Christian said, "Today, let's go and meet Ms. Rosaline." "Huh? Are you sure?" Christian nodded, "yes, whole night I've been thinking about that only, finally I took a decision, if we wanted to do something, why we should delay it? Let's go there..." "Do you think you're their son-in-law?" Ezra rolled his eyes, "It's not as easy as you think to go there whenever you wants and to leave when you wanted to, you need permission for both going and
ISN'T IT FAMILIAR TO YOU?
"I didn't mean that," Liliana shook her head. "They've tried everything, every physician, alchemist, enchanter, and healer, worth their name, but they couldn't even find out what's wrong with her."Christian was surprised to hear that, and immediately, he remembered about his uncle, "Wait... What about uncle Charles? He is named as a miracle doctor who can save anyone, even a dying person can be saved by uncle, why didn't he try to help her? Do we have any issues with them?" "No, Chris," Liliana gently placed her hand on Christian's hand, "Both of our families are so close to each other for decades, in fact Rosaline is a very good person, she even saved my life once, out of that gratitude, I took Charles to their home hoping he can help her, even Charles attempted to heal her for me." Christian straightened with an anxious face. "And?" "He failed." Her voice was quiet now, threaded with frustration. Christian looked surprised after hearing to Liliana, as far as he heard everyone p
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
"Where are you going at this hour?" Ezra asked, looking at Christian who is walking out, Christian said calmly, "Ummm... I'm going to the library...." Ezra scratched his head with a clueless face, "Library? At this hour? Are you crazy?" "No, I'm not," Christian said turning on the torch in his mobile, "I couldn't sleep, so I can't just lie down and do nothing, so I want to take a walk, rather than going here and there, I just want to the manor library to find books related to Valemire family." Ezra couldn't say no to Christian, so silently followed behind.Christian slowly made his way towards the manor library without making a sound, as he doesn't want to disturb anyone late in that night."Did you ever went to that library?" Ezra asked, Christian shook his head, "No, I just got to know directions to that library through James, but this is the first time, I'm going there...." Ezra hummed, "So, you knew nothing about this library?" "No, do you know anything?" Christian asked with
YOU THINK SOMEONE DID?
"Chris," Amelia gently tapped on Christian's hand, "Are you okay? Why did you keep your face like that? Still thinking about your grandfather's words?" Christian mumbled out of hesitation, "I'm scared... I'm worried too, that I might not be able to keep up with the expectations you all have on me, what if I failed? What if I...." "You're thinking too much, Chrissy," Liliana laughed, as she couldn't handle the serious look on Christian's face, "Do you even know what Charles had done when Ed has asked him to handle a meeting with foreign delegates?" Christian looked curious to know, Liliana shared the rest of the story, "Ed gave all the details but this man messed up, he read out something else rather than the he is supposed to discuss, he spoke about financial report as if they're in the company as an auditor, what should we do with this guy?" Everyone burst into laughter including Christian, Betty said, "Even Ed was nervous, because he is supposed to work under Lord Sargent, the g
THAT'S VERY DIPLOMATIC!
"So, what are you planning to do now?" Ezra asked, tilting his head in genuine curiosity as Christian stood by the window, eyes fixed on the pale morning sky.Christian rolled his eyes so hard he nearly saw his brain. "Salsa dance, wanna join? Maybe I think, you're already an expert..." Ezra snorted, laughter bubbling up. "What a sarcastic guy! Just like his mother."Christian spun around, with a sarcastic tone, "My mom would be proud of me. You know, she loved a good twirl while we played around, and guess what, when I saw her fight, she twirled in the same way sealing that gate, and dodging shadow beasts, my mom is good at everything." Ezra flopped onto a nearby armchair, one of the fluffiest in the room, and folded his arms. "You’re practically a fountain of levity this morning." Christian raised an eyebrow. "Levity? I was thinking more along the lines of a snark tornado, but yes, levity works." He paced, calmly looking around, "Maybe I could start by writing a strongly worded
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,
