"Of course, I'm enjoying," Christian grinned, flashing all his teeth like a mischievous boy caught mid-prank.

Ezra couldn’t hold back his laugh at Christian’s delight, shaking his head in amusement.

Leaning back in his chair and Ezra has said. "This is the first time I’ve seen you smile like that, Little Prince, I should snap a photo for your future campaign posters."

"Very funny, but you know what I don't feel like laughing at that joke," Christian replied, dropping onto the bed and pulling up his logs. "Whatever, I’ll let you handle the PR department then in the future."

"You’d better," Ezra gave a lazy grin. "I’d have you elected in a week, by scandal or by charm."

Lying back on the bed, Christian tapped through the logs on his tablet.

His mind was busy analyzing warehouse entries, timestamps, and storage discrepancies, scrolling through lines of digital warehouse data, he furrowed his brows in quiet focus.

Patterns and errors, he could already see inconsistencies, maybe nothi

SO, WHAT IF I AM?
"Really, Grandpa?" Christian asked, his voice cracking with disbelief, as he still couldn't believe that his grandfather accepted that easily.Lord Sargent didn’t answer at first, he simply gave a small, and gentle nod.Christian didn’t wait. He moved forward like a child who had just been told his dream came true and wrapped his arms tightly around his grandfather. The old man stiffened at Christian's sudden gesture, but only for a second, before patting his back once, almost awkwardly."Thank you... thank you so much, Grandpa," Christian whispered, overwhelmed by his grandfather's acceptance and support.The usually stoic Lord Sargent muttered, "Silly boy! I don't know whom you exactly take after...." "Of course not you honey," Amelia chuckled looking at her husband and grandson precious bonding, Lord Sargent laughed at his wife's comment, while family seemed to be pleased by what they were witnessing.Before the warmth could fade, the air shifted again as the grand doors were op
ONLY WHEN PROVOKED
"Convince me this wasn’t the stupidest thing you’ve ever done."Christian didn’t dare to speak a word, not yet as he couldn’t.His heart was thudding loud in his chest, while his mind was spinning. He could notice everyone’s gaze was fixed on him, Rosaline's hand still clutched in his. She didn’t say a word, just gave him that steady, right squeeze as if assuring him with her presence.He finally took a breath, then another, and decided to speak.Christian straightened his spine, his fingers still laced with Rosaline’s. "I don't know if it's foolish or rushed, but for once, I wanted to choose something for me by myself, and I chose her."Everyone looked silently at Christian and Rosaline.Liliana raised a brow in amusement. "Did he just grow a backbone?" Betty leaned toward Amelia. "Did you hear that, mom? He said it without stuttering, do you think this little boy is finally growing up to be a strong man?" Amelia responded with a smile. "One declaration doesn’t make a man, but he
YOUR KARMA
"Chris, are you okay?" Rosaline asked gently, brushing her fingers against Christian's sleeve after looking at his tensed face.Not wanting to worry her, Christian hummed quietly, "Yeah… I’m okay." Charles who caught the lie in Christian's words, rolled his eyes. "There’s no way he’s fine, he’s just acting... No matter how much he gets pampered, he is still afraid of his grandfather..." "I'm not," Christian insisted, "I'm just thinking about how to give an explanation to grandpa, apart from that nothing else...." "I’ll protect you," Rosaline placed her hand on Christian's trying to assure him, in return Christian gently smiled.However looking at their lovey dovey action, Charles snorted. "These both are ready to protect each other, what about me? Who is going to protect me from my father?" "Your karma," Rosaline shot back in a voice completely not sweet at the same time not rude either.They glared at each other like two kids in a silent war, Christian, exasperated and tired by s
HE IS COMING
"Father?" Charles’s fingers froze mid-air.He stared at the phone screen, lips thinning as he read the name flashing in bold capital letters, "Why is he calling me at this time?" Looking at Charles's nervous face, Christian leaned in curiously. "Who is it?" Charles raised a finger for silence, his voice was calm, at the same time filled with extreme fear, "hello father..." But calmness wasn’t what came in return."So, when were you planning to inform the family that our heir just got married in a courthouse, like a common fugitive?" Charles flinched at his father's furiousness and sighed inwardly, "What the hell! How did he even got to know about this? What should I do now?" His entire body is almost trembling, as he winced. "It was a sudden decision, Father, I was just about to..." "No need for your stupid explanations, we will be there in an hour, you've to bring that brat and his wife to the east side estate." The line cut before Charles could even utter a single word.Char
YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF HER?
"I don't know," Christian said quietly, holding Rosaline’s hand tighter. "But what I do know is… she’s not someone I’ll abandon. I’m not just here out of responsibility, I’m here because I want to be, I chose this and, I chose her."For the first time in her life, Rosaline’s confident expression cracked. Her eyes became wet, blinking fast as if she refused to let the tears fall, but they were there. Not weakness, but something different, something she wasn’t used to showing, she had been claimed, not as a prize, not as a burden, but as someone wanted, and that was the moment she knew her choice of choosing Christian was always perfect.The clerk announced with a happy face, "From today, you both are wife and husband officially." Christian and Rosaline exchanged their glances, Rosaline looking all happy as she is finally going to start a family just like everyone."Come out," Charles said sharply with a tight and restraint voice.Christian mumbled. "If it’s to convince me to leave
DESPARATION?
"Uncle…" Christian whispered with a dry voice still in disbelief that Charles happened to come for real when he wanted to keep everything a secret at least till he comes up with an explanation.But Charles did come for real and standing at the entrance, immaculate in a three-piece suit.His gloves were already off, one finger slowly tapping the back of the other glove in his hand as he stepped forward, each footstep sounding like a gavel.Rosaline didn’t move. She only tilted her head, lips curving into a faint, knowing smirk, as if she had been expecting this moment all along.Charles didn’t return the smile.Instead, his eyes slowly scanned the room, from the cheap floral wallpaper, to the government-issued chairs, to the startled clerk behind the counter, and finally to the trembling pen in Christian’s hand."A Sargent heir eloping like some teenage scandal headline?" He asked in a calm yet sharp voice like a razor, "So Chris, you couldn’t even warn me before ruining your life? Hu
