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
The Lost Heir Of Sargent YOU CAUSED HER DEATH!
"Aunt?" Christian looked at her with a pale face, Liliana nodded her head, "It's true Chrissy, he isn't your father." The entire hall fell into stunned silence.Morris’s face drained of color."What… did you say?" His voice sounded almost like a whisper.Liliana’s lips curled into a smirk."Didn't you hear it or acting as if you didn't hear it?" Liliana looking intimidating than usual, "Fine, I'll let you know it again, what I'm saying is, you have no power or authority over my Chrissy because he was never your son to begin with."Christian’s heart pounded in his chest very hard.If Morris wasn’t his father… then who was?The hall erupted in chaos, guests whispering, gasping, and exchanging shocked looks.Morris, for the first time in his life, looked utterly powerless.And Christian?He swayed unsteadily, his mind racing from the revelation. He looked like he was about to collapse from the confusion, just then Teresa stepped forward."Mary was Morris’s wife, how could Christian not
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WE BOTH ARE SELFISH, AREN'T WE?
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Luna shouted at Morris, stepping protectively in front of Christian trying to shield him from Morris's words. "Why would Chris be the cause of his mother's death? You're just saying nonsense! Shut up and get lost!" Morris laughed darkly and almost like mocking.He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth where Christian’s punch had landed earlier, his eyes filled with nothing but cruel amusement as if he was enjoying the current situation."Nonsense?" He tilted his head. "Oh, Luna, I don’t speak nonsense, I only speak the truth, don't you also want to know that truth?" His gaze went back to Christian, his smirk widening as if he waited for this opportunity so long. "Shall I tell you how your dear Chris led his own mother to her death?""No, we don’t need to know," Luna snapped, with a firm voice and grabbed Christian’s hand and tried to pull him away. "Let’s go Chris, you don't have to listen to his nonsense."But Christian didn’t move. His bod
The Lost Heir Of Sargent YOU KILLED ME, CHRIS
"No... No," Christian’s head pounded as Morris’s words echoed in his mind."You ignored her call, you let her die thinking her own son had abandoned her."His breathing turned heavy, hands clenching into fists as guilt wrapped around his throat suffocating him.His vision blurred, but whether from rage or grief, he couldn’t tell."You played a major role in her death." "Shut up!" Luna’s furious voice filled in the air as she stepped in front of Christians shielding him from everything.Her usual warmth in eyes was replaced with unfiltered rage. "You have no right to say these things, you treated aunt Mary horribly! You never even looked for her when she disappeared! If anyone is responsible for suffering, it's you, Chris was so young and didn't mean any harm at that time, you can't blame him for your shortcomings as a husband, you're the reason for everything...." She didn't waste a second before accusing him.Morris merely chuckled, and shifted his concentration to Christian once a
The Lost Heir Of Sargent CAN YOU JUST LISTEN ONLY TO YOUR HEART?
"Chris... Chris," Luna looked worried about Christian as he was wriggling and crying in his sleep, she gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Relax, Chris, what's happening? Can you open your eyes please?" Christian who was struck in his own nightmare, but suddenly he felt a light within the darkness, a hand holding him tight enough to pull him out of that darkness.He shot up from the bed with a loud gasp.His chest rising and falling, sweat drenched his body, and his heartbeat slammed against his ribs, while his vision was blurry with tears.The only thing that he was able to hear was Luna's gentle and soothing voice, "Chris, is everything okay? Why are you scared like this? Is it a nightmare?" "Mom hates me…" His voice was a whisper, but the pain in it was crushing his heart with guilt. "I'm the reason why she was dead, it's all because of me...." Luna, who had been sitting beside him, immediately reached out.Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him

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,
