The Lost Heir Of Sargent SO PREDICTABLE!
"Let's go Chris," Teresa forced a smile and turned to lead the way to upstairs, as they climbed the stairs, her true colors began to show up."You bastard, how come you forget that you're nothing but a lowborn?" She sneered glaring at him.Christian crossed his arms, "lowborn?" Clenching her fists, Teresa hissed under her breath, turning to poke his chest with her sharp index finger. "How dare you think you’re superior to us? Just because you’re recognised as the heir to the Sargent family, do you think you can do as you please? How can you forget your place and behave as you want?"Christian met her glare with an amused smile. "I knew this was your true nature, all you've done is acting downstairs, finally you're showing your real face, aren't you?" Teresa scoffed, flaunting her hair. "All this love and attention you're getting, it won't last forever, you are just an useless bastard who'll be tossed aside sooner or later," she tried her best to insult him hoping it'll ruin his conf
The Lost Heir Of Sargent I'M A MONSTER, REMEMBER?
"Uncle Charles?" Christian muttered, while looking in the direction earlier voice came from, he was surprised to see his uncle standing at the entrance of Adams mansion.He then turned his eyes toward James, who hesitated before lowering his head in guilt."Sorry, young master," James admitted, with a low voice, "When Master Charles called earlier, I was worried about you and told him everything."Charles walked straight to Christian, his face a mix of concern and full of fury, "Chris, are you okay? Nothing happened to you, right? You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" He is already shooting daggers at Morris and other ready to kill them if they were to think about hurting Christian.Understanding his uncle's concern, Christian smiled faintly at his uncle’s protectiveness. "I'm fine, Uncle, nothing happened to me."Before Charles could respond, Morris came forward, clutching his chest dramatically like a person who lost his everything. "Master Charles, you have to bring justice for me!"
The Lost Heir Of Sargent YOU'RE ALSO A PART OF THIS, AREN'T YOU?
"I'm your father," Morris declared, with a forced authority in his voice, "Do you think you can go against me?"Christian, however, did not flinch instead looked amused by the way Morris using his identity as father which he never used in years.However Christian's cold yet piercing eyes met Morris with an unforgiving gaze, "Just like how you once said you have no son like me, I have no father like you, Mr. Adams," his voice was calm, but the weight of his words hit Morris like a harsh slap.Morris tried to blackmail Christian, "If you leave now, you’ll never get your mother’s belongings, do you no longer want them?" A faint smirk crossed Christian’s lips. "I already knew my mother had nothing precious in this so-called house apart from me," crossing his arms, Christian continued, "Moreover, I didn’t come here for her things, I came here to see what you were up to. Too bad your dearest wife moved quicker than I expected, if not I would’ve enjoyed watching your plans fall apart." Mor
The Lost Heir Of Sargent I DON'T WANT A PATHETIC CHILD LIKE YOU!
"No dad.... No, I don't know anything," Ivan stepped back, fear radiating from his body looking at his father coming in his way.But Morris was beyond anyone's expectations and have no intention of showing mercy on anyone.He went straight to Ivan, the belt is still in his hand, "Do you think you’re any better than this bitch? Like mother, like son, both of you are useless," he barked, grabbing Ivan’s arm and yanking him forward."No! No, please!" Ivan screamed, struggling in his grip, but the grip of Morris is too strong to escape."You’re a failure, just like your mother, you brought nothing but troubles you good for nothing bastard," he shouted, throwing Ivan to the hard floor. Before Ivan could scramble away, Morris lifted the belt in his hand, and beat him hard on the back.Ivan’s cry out of pain was sharp and heartbreaking, Teresa pushed Morris aside and hugged Ivan trying to shield him from Morris's cruelty, "Stop hitting him Morris, he is our only son, please don't hurt him."
The Lost Heir Of Sargent THAT'S HOW DESTRUCTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE!
"Please Mr. Adams, don't get in our way," James said gently pushing Morris aside from there, and ordered the guards, "Make it fast." Morris stood fixed to the spot, his mind still struggling to understand what was happening before him. His backyard, a place he had cherished and brought experienced people from overseas and poured money to decorate, but now it is being torn apart by Sargent's guards who showed no sign of stopping. The tree, the one that he never cared about was now being carefully excavated, its massive roots delicately unearthed as if it held some great significance."This is insane!" Morris shouted, his face twisted in rage. "You can’t just take my property without permission! Who the hell do you people think you are?" James barely spared him a glance. "We are just following orders of Master Charles, from now onwards this tree belongs to the Sargent family. If you have complaints, take them to him." Morris clenched his fists, his jaw tightening in frustration. T
The Lost Heir Of Sargent I PLEAD TO PROTECT THIS INNOCENT BOY!
"Destruction is fine," Liliana crossed her arms, letting out a sharp breath, as if she was trying to control her emotions. "What about Chrissy? He suffered a lot, if we are concentrating solely on destroying Adams family, when are we going to give him the happiness he deserves?" "We will give him something better than mere happiness," Betty said firmly. "A life where he doesn’t have to constantly prove himself, a life where he’s not treated as an option, a life where he doesn't have to think about getting ignored or abandoned, a life with nothing but full of love." Everyone agreed with Betty, however Liliana said with a faint smile, "Even though we are adults, we are so excited about our birthdays, guess what, I happened to find it after making my people to talk with a maid from Adams family that Chrissy never celebrated his birthday, not even once, they allowed him to have a birthday party." "What?" Amelia frowned in disbelief, Liliana nodded with a guilty face, "Yes mom, even whe
The Lost Heir Of Sargent ANYTHING FOR YOU, KID
"Ahhh!" Christian groaned in sleep because of the sunrays falling straight on his face, "I should've closed those damn curtains before I fell asleep last night." He woke to the soft glow of morning light streaming through his bedroom window. Stretching his body lazily, he turned his attention towards the window as some voices came from the garden.His drowsy eyes widened when he noticed a massive tree standing in the garden.His heart skipped a beat at the sight of a familiar tree.He rubbed his eyes trying to check once again to cross-check whether he saw it for real or not, his breath struck within his throat. The tree… it looked just like the one he and his mother had planted years ago at Adams mansion. The same thick, sturdy trunk, the familiar curve of its branches, even the way the leaves swayed in the wind, it was almost identical. "But how could that be? Isn't it supposed to be in that mansion? How come it is here in Sargent's mansion?" His chest tightened with emotions
The Lost Heir Of Sargent MAKE A WISH
"Is everything prepared?" Lord Sargent's voice creaked through the silence.The gentle glow of candlelight fell on the walls filling up with the shadows of a group of people.Outside, the dark night with stars looking like a beautiful painting, especially the moon at high in the sky, bathing the Sargent's mansion in a silver glow. The heavy silence of the night was suddenly disturbed by hushed whispers and shuffling footsteps."Don’t make a sound.""Shh, you’ll wake him up!""Can’t you see? He’s sleeping!""For God’s sake, shut up, all of you!"The excitement in their voices was barely controlled, yet there's some urgency and at the sametime they remained quiet.Betty, Liliana, Edward, and Charles tiptoed forward, their faces glowing with anticipation. Behind them, Lord Sargent and Amelia followed, she is carefully holding a small cake with a single candle standing at its center.Liliana was the first to approach Christian’s bedside, ahe knelt beside him, her fingers running gently

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,
MY KEY
"Do you think it's okay?""Of course, it is okay...." "Aren't we here on that purpose only?" "Did you even check whether he is asleep or not?" "My enchanting voice can make anyone fall asleep in seconds..." The voices came from the golden light particles that surrounded Christian while he was in his deep sleep."We have to keep our promise which we made to Marie." "He is asleep, let us show the truth through his dream." Strange voices reached his ears but he still couldn't understand what exactly it was, as he was already enveloped in deep slumber.The world around Christian twisted like wet paint swirling in water. One second he was lying in bed, and the next, he stood in the middle of a vast courtyard that felt like it had been pulled from another timeline.The sky above was the color of fresh blood, deep red streaks smeared across black clouds. The ash rained softly like snow. The air was thick, and suffocating, nothing giving familiar vibes apart from creating goosebumps
