A GRAVE
"Why is everyone standing here like something important is about to happen… are you all waiting for me or judging me?" Christian’s voice carried a faint hint of amusement as he stepped through the grand entrance of the Sargent mansion, his gaze sweeping across the familiar hall that had always felt like home, yet today carried a different kind of weight, because this time, he didn't come alone.Beside him stood Adrian, nd just a step behind, Lysandre, Riven, and Elara followed quietly.For a brief moment, no one moved.Then everything shifted at once."Chris!" Amelia was the first to break the stillness as she hurried forward, her eyes soft yet filled with concern, her hands reaching out to hold his face as if confirming for herself that he was truly fine."Let me see you properly," she said, her voice trembling just slightly despite her attempt to remain composed. "Are you eating well? You’ve lost so much weight… you always do this when something is bothering you." Christian let o
I WILL
"What exactly did you just say?"Adrian’s voice was no longer calm, no longer steady, as his eyes remained fixed on Christian, searching his face as if trying to determine whether those words had truly been spoken or if his mind had simply betrayed him for a brief, dangerous moment.Christian told everything from the beginning till the end, how he got message of his mother through a friend of her, how his journey began in search of her."So, it's not something you found out recently?"Adrian asked with a flat tone, Christian did not answer immediately, because he already had.Everything that needed to be said had already been said.And in the silence that followed, Adrian understood.Not every detail, not every step, but enough.Enough to know that this was not a careless statement, not something spoken without certainty, and the way Christian held his gaze without hesitation only confirmed it further.The car remained still at the side of the road.The world outside continued as usu
SHE ISN'T DEAD
"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden…?"Adrian asked as he drove, his voice was calm yet carrying a faint curiosity, his gaze fixed on the road ahead while the soft hum of the engine filled the silence between them, and beside him, Christian sat with his head slightly tilted toward the window, watching the passing city without really seeing it.Christian did not answer immediately.For a brief moment, he remained still, as if his thoughts were somewhere far away, somewhere he hadn’t yet decided how to bring into words, and only after a quiet breath did he respond."Just thinking dad," he said.Adrian glanced at him briefly before returning his attention to the road, a faint smile forming on his lips."You’ve been doing that a lot lately," he remarked. "Thinking too much..." Christian let out a soft breath, almost amused as he asked, "umm, is that a bad thing dad?" Adrian shook his head slightly."Not always, my dear," he replied. "But sometimes… it makes you carry things alone when
A TRILLION DOLLAR MISTAKE
"Do you even realize what you’ve just done?"Ethan’s voice was calm, almost quiet, yet it carried enough weight to settle over the hall like an invisible pressure, making the already suffocating silence feel even heavier as every gaze remained fixed on the shattered fragments of Pearl across the floor.The pearl still glowed faintly broken… yet undeniably unique.For a brief moment, no one moved.Then, Jenny let out a sharp laugh, the sound breaking the silence as she folded her arms, forcing confidence back into her posture."Stop acting like it’s something valuable," she said mockingly, her voice rising slightly as if to convince not just others, but herself. "It’s obviously fake, just another cheap trick to fool everyone, and look at how seriously you’re taking it."Sally scoffed immediately, stepping forward, her lips curling with disdain."Exactly," she added, her tone sharp and dismissive. "Do you really expect us to believe that something like that could be real? A man who coul
WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT
"I expected adjustment but," Christian tilted his head slightly and said honestly, "Not this level of adjustment Riven, especially not from you." Elara’s expression softened slightly at that."Sometimes," she said quietly, "people adapt faster than they expect to… when they feel welcome, you and Lord Adrian never made us feel like outsiders, so we could never feel awkward or hesitate around you both."Christian paused for a brief moment.Then nodded slightly, "It's a good thing Elara! With you all around, this place now truly feels like a home... I really don't find it boring." The conversation drifted after that, light and unforced, small remarks passing between them, occasional teasing from Riven, calm responses from Lysandre, and Elara’s quiet observations weaving through it all.While Adrian moved around effortlessly, not as someone imposing authority, but as someone simply… present.Christian found himself watching it all without realizing.And for a moment, he thought to himse
I'M NOT EXAGGERATING
"Are you planning to sleep the entire day, Mr. CEO… or should I start charging rent for this room?" Adrian’s voice came with a faint teasing edge as he stood near the doorway, arms loosely crossed, watching the figure still half-buried under the blanket, and for a moment, there was no response from Christian except a slight shift as he pulled the cover over his face."Five more minutes… dad," Christian muttered, his voice muffled, clearly not ready to face the morning yet.The word 'dad' which used to be awkward before is coming more naturally right now without any kind awkwardness or hesitation.Every time Christian called him Dad, Adrian couldn't help but to feel happy and excited.Adrian let out a quiet chuckle and walked further inside, stopping near the bed as he looked down at him."You said the same thing ten minutes ago, my dear," he replied calmly. "And before that as well... Now this five more minutes, how many times are you going to repeat it?" Christian slowly lowered th
