SO THIS WASN'T RANDOM
"Why did they try to kill you and me?"Christian’s voice broke the silence that had settled over the ruined living room, and although he tried to keep his tone steady, the confusion behind the question was impossible to hide as he stared at Adrian across the shattered glass scattered across the floor.Adrian did not answer immediately.Instead, he walked slowly toward the broken balcony doors and looked down into the dark streets below, scanning the shadows for any sign that the intruders might still be nearby.The night had swallowed them completely.Christian sighed while rubbing his temples, "It's same as how it happened back then at Sargent's estate, but at that time that man tried to provoke me.... However these people are almost trying to kill us.... Why?" "They’re gone, no need to think too much about the people who are gone already," Adrian said quietly after a moment.Christian let out a slow breath and ran a hand through his hair as he tried to process everything that had j
IT IS CONFIRMED
"Mr. Adrian… Are you awake?"Christian’s voice was low but clear as it traveled through the quiet hallway, and although the apartment was wrapped in the deep silence of midnight, the faint tension beneath his words was enough to pull Adrian out of the light sleep he had been attempting for the past hour.From inside his room, Adrian immediately opened his eyes and sat up slightly, sensing something unusual in Christian’s tone that made him rise from the bed without hesitation."What is it, Chris?" Adrian asked while stepping into the hallway.Christian stood near the living room entrance, his posture was alert in a way that did not belong to someone who had been trying to sleep only moments earlier."I think I heard something strange," Christian replied quietly.Adrian frowned slightly, and the apartment was still.The distant city noise barely reached them through the closed windows, and the steady hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen was the only sound filling the silence."You mi
YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ IT
"You went somewhere, didn’t you?"Christian’s voice came from the living room the moment Adrian stepped inside the apartment, and although the words sounded casual, the quiet stillness surrounding them made it clear that the young man had been sitting there for quite some time waiting for the door to open.Adrian closed the door behind him slowly before turning toward the sofa where Christian sat, and the sight immediately made his chest tighten slightly because the television in front of him was playing silently while Christian stared out of the window rather than watching it."I had a small matter to take care of," Adrian replied calmly as he removed his coat and placed it neatly on the chair near the entrance. "I thought you were taking a nap, so I decided to go out and handle a few things which I'm supposed to do, but didn't expect you to be waking up before I could even return."Christian hummed faintly as if the explanation was enough for him, and he did not press further even t
THAT MUCH WAS OBVIOUS
"You sounded urgent on the phone," Aurora said as she placed her cup of coffee on the table and looked across at the man sitting opposite her. "That’s unusual for someone like you, Mr. Adrian.... And what made you call me all of a sudden to a place like this?"She casually shrugged her shoulders, "I don't think you called me here just for a cup of coffee or to enjoy the vibes in this coffee, am I right?" The café was quiet in the late afternoon, filled with the low hum of conversations and the distant sound of cups touching saucers, but the small table where Adrian and Aurora sat carried a tension that made the surrounding calm feel strangely distant.Adrian did not touch the drink in front of him.His hands rested calmly on the table, yet the stillness in his posture carried something heavier than anger, something closer to restrained fury.He made sure to choose this time since Christian is taking a nap at home, he decided to finish off everything and return home as soon as possibl
IS THE AWAKENING PROGRESSING?
"I thought you said you were going to sleep."Adrian’s voice came from the doorway, quiet but clear enough to break the long silence that had settled inside the apartment.Christian, who had been lying on the bed staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours, slowly turned his head toward the door, his eyes dull with exhaustion even though he had not slept at all."I tried," he replied softly, his voice calm in a way that felt strangely distant. "But my mind doesn’t seem interested in resting tonight."For whole day Adrian tried his best to keep company to Christian and didn't leave him alone, ordered the food from Christian's favourite restaurants, though he ate a little, still, Adrian was satisfied that at least, Christian isn't starving himself.In the night, Adrian asked Christian to spend some time with him but Christian insisted on sleeping early and ended up not sleeping.Adrian stepped inside the room without making unnecessary noise, closing the door behind him gently befor
YOU AGREED TOO EASILY
"Chris, you need to wake up now."Adrian’s voice was calm and steady as he spoke, though his eyes carefully observed the young man lying on the bed before him, because the night before had left a heavy impression in his mind and he had not been able to sleep properly after seeing Christian in such a shattered state.Despite wanting to talk a lot, at least wanted to ask Christian to change up, but Adrian didn't dare to do any of those as he is afraid of hurting Christian unknowingly by reminding everything that happened.After covering Christian with a blanket, Adrian just stayed calmly in the same room till the morning.How heart ached to look at his precious son in such a state, when he has been doing everything to keep his son happy, still, unexpected situations breaking Christian, and that's troubling Adrian a lot.Morning light slipped quietly through the curtains and spread across the room, illuminating the figure lying beneath the blanket Adrian had placed over him during the ni
