YOU TOOK LEAVE?
"Work from home?" Edward on the other side in the call was surprised to hear that from Christian who is a workaholic, while Christian hummed with a tired face, "Yes uncle, Rose's health is not good, I'm taking care of her, right now I can't attend the company, please help me with this..." Edward smiled softly, "That's not a problem at all, take care of your wife, I'll handle everything for you." "No... No," Christian objected to his uncle handling everything, "I'll take care of it, all I need is permission to work from home, that's it." Edward tried to make Christian take proper leave, but since Christian insisted stubbornly, Edward gave up, "Fine, you can work from home, I'll make arrangements for that." "Thanks uncle," Christian grinned happily, and hung up the call.As he went to check on Rosaline, she was sleeping peacefully, without disturbing her, he sat right beside her to check her temperature, since the temperature cooled down, Christian took a breath in relief and went t
DO I LOOK LIKE A CHILD TO YOU?
"You…" Rosaline’s voice trembled as she pressed her weak body against his chest, her arms circling his waist. Her skin burned with fever, yet her words carried warmth that pierced straight through him. "You never disappoint me with your love and care, I will never regret choosing you as my life partner… With you by my side, I've no regrets in this life...." Christian froze for a heartbeat, his heart tingling at her words. The sting behind his eyes threatened to spill into tears, but he bit them back, wrapping his arms around her trembling frame. He buried his face into her hair, inhaling her scent mixed with medicine and fever. "She really chose me.... Me, of all people…" He wanted to say something calm, something reassuring, but all that came out was a choked whisper. "Stop it Rose... Don’t say it like you’re saying goodbye, you’ll be fine and I’ll make sure of it."She laughed weakly, her voice rasping. "You sound like you’re about to fight death itself for me." "I would." His
LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU
"She must be fine," Christian prayed within himself silently standing in front of the guesthouse Rosaline currently staying.The path outside Rosaline’s guesthouse was too quiet. "Why is she staying here rather than being in Valemire's mansion?" Christian mumbled, raising his head and taking a look at the guesthouse to which he reached after receiving the location from Rosaline's mansion, "Is it really serious?" Christian’s usually steady footsteps had turned restless, pacing before the door like a man with no anchor. "Please be safe!" He had dropped everything at the office, ignoring Andrew’s teasing grin and the questions from Kira, Tanya, and Luna. None of that mattered now.What mattered was the voice of Rosaline’s assistant over the phone:"Miss Valemire is sick… and she is resting now, and doesn't want anyone to disturb her."And then, silence.With a deep breath, he got into the guesthouse, the assistant immediately rushed to Christian, "young master, why are you here?""I
HOW BAD IS IT?
"What's with that longing face?" Luna raised an eyebrow at Christian who is sitting idle in his seat, "By chance, are you missing anyone?" Christian let out a soft smile as he doesn't want to trouble her with his own worries, "Maybe or may not..." "Seriously? Whom do you even miss? Aren't I right here in front of you?" Luna crossed her arms only to get a chuckle in return, "aren't you bored of being too full of yourself?" Luna flipped her with a smirk, "It's because I'm too beautiful, stunning and brilliant, a very rare mixed version!"Christian just smiled at her words and stared at the screen quietly.The morning sun passing through the wide glass windows of the Sargent Corporation’s top floor, painting golden streaks across the large meeting room. Christian leaned back in his chair, arms folded, watching his team scramble before the client call."Why is it that every time we have a big presentation," Kira groaned, flipping through her notes, "you three act like comedians instea
NOT AGAIN
"Why does it all feel like a tangled knot in my head?" Christian sighed at all those thoughts messing in his head.The candle on Christian’s desk had long since melted into a pool of wax, but he sat stiff in his chair, Ezra’s smoky form drifting lazily near the ceiling. The weight of the old records pressed heavy on his chest, as though each page carried not ink but blood."Ezra," Christian said at last, his voice lower than a whisper eager to hear answers, "you didn’t tell me everything, right?" Ezra stared at Christian with a puzzled face, "I don't understand, regarding what you're talking about.... What I didn't tell you?" "You must've seen or heard at least one of it, haven’t you? One of these cursed weddings," Christian crossed his arms with an accusationary look aimed at Ezra, "You've lived long enough to know about this!" Ezra stiffened, his usual mocking air thinning into silence. When he finally spoke, the words were hoarse, almost dragged from a place of memory he wishe
SO SOON?
"Who might it be?" Christian froze.The door to the records room creaked open, and candlelight spilled across the dusty floor. His stomach lurched thinking if it was Lord Sargent, he was finished for entering into a place he shouldn't without permission."Chris?" Relief and dread tangled together when he finally recognized the voice.It wasn’t his grandfather, but it was Charles, barefoot in his nightshirt, holding a mobile torch. "Thank God! It's uncle Charles!" Christian tried to calm himself after taking a look at Charles, his hair was a mess, while his eyes were heavy with sleep."What in heaven’s name are you doing here, Chris?" Charles whispered, stepping inside. "You’ll have the entire house thinking you’re a burglar, I almost got startled thanks to you..." Christian slid the book closed with a soft thud, forcing a calmness he didn’t feel as he doesn't want any further suspicion to rise in Charles. "I wasn't able to sleep, uncle," he said lightly. "I thought… walking around
