I'M INFORMING YOU
"My Lord, you're in a rush to leave," Lysandre commented with a teasing smile, "is it because you're missing your son already?" Adrian hummed quietly, "yeah, I miss my son, any problem with that?" Lysandre chuckled while shaking his head in mock defeat, as he can't argue with Adrian.Dawn had not yet broken when Adrian stepped back into the upper levels of the city.The base doors sealed behind him with a hydraulic hiss, burying the screams, the fear, the unfinished cruelty far beneath layers of reinforced concrete and silence.Both Ivan and Teressa are terrified, as they couldn't understand how they're going to suffer in the hands of Adrian and his men, their pleas and requests unheard as no one held pity towards them because of what they've done to Christian.Outside, the world looked deceptively normal.Traffic lights blinked lazily. A street vendor was setting up a cart. Somewhere, a radio played soft morning news as if nothing irreversible had shifted overnight.Adrian adjuste
YOU CAN'T DO THIS!
"I'm coming!"That's the only sentence left from Adrian, and he immediately stood up from the couch, before leaving the house.He opened the Christian room's door, and taken a look at Christian who is sleeping peacefully.Getting closer to Christian, he pulled the blanket up covering Christian's arms and gently caressed his hair, "sleep well, my dear!"With that he walked out of the room and closed the door very gently behind him making sure no sound came reach Christian.Finally, he left the house, and made his way straight to the base, the drive took him almost an hour to reach that place.By the time he reached, the base lay buried beneath layers of reinforced concrete and silence.It's a desolate place, with no signboards or markings, not just that, it's a place, where there'll be no signs of mercy or pity either.Only steel doors, armed guards, and corridors that swallowed sound whole.Adrian walked in alone.His steps echoed, measured, controlled, and unhurried. The kind of cal
FOR TRYING
"For Chris!" Adrian hesitated, and finally said, Mrs. Nevermore's laughter stopped instantly and was replaced by warm amusement. "Oh...." That single syllable held everything, understanding, curiosity, and something dangerously close to fondness."You want to make him dumpling soup by yourself," she said, not asking."Yes." "Today?" "Yes." Another pause.Then, warmly Mrs. Nevermore has said, "don't worry, I know how to make it, I’ll send you the recipe, step by step, so that you can make it easily, and by the way Rian?" "Yes, Mom?" "Don’t rush it, my dear," she said gently. "Dumplings taste better when made patiently, so you have to be very patient while making this recipe, only then it tastes more delicious." Adrian closed his eyes briefly. "I understand!" After the call ended, Adrian stared at his phone for a second longer than necessary.Then he rolled up his sleeve
WHO IS SICK?
"What's your weekend plans, Chris?" Christian's mobile vibrated with a message from Luna, to which, Christian sent a lazy reply, "nothing, just making presentations to submit tomorrow." "Boring!" A new message showed up from Luna, Christian chuckled at the message, and placed the mobile aside.Before even he realised, the weekend arrived quietly, not by any alarms, or urgent calls.Just a normal and peaceful weekend, sunlight filtered through the curtains in soft bands, warming the living room floor where the city below was still half-asleep.Observing the scenery outside the window, Christian sat at the dining table with his laptop open, sleeves rolled up, and glasses perched low on his nose. He wasn’t working on company matters, not exactly, it was more of a personal review, things he’d postponed all week. Notes, sketches, and timelines that didn’t demand urgency, but he is making sure to keep a draft of everything to make a better working plan for the next whole week.Across fr
LET'S GO!
"Miss, shall we leave?"The driver asked, but no response came from Rosaline, he called out once again, "Ms... Ms. Rosaline...." "Huh?"The driver looked worried, "are you okay, Miss? I've been calling you but you didn't answer.""Umm, I'm so sorry," Rosaline said with a faint tone, "actually, I've been thinking about something, that's why I didn't pay attention to your words, by the way, what were you saying?" The driver can notice strange anxiety in Rosaline, but he said nothing about it, "I asked you about whether we are leaving or you've any other work here, do you want to stay or shall we leave?" Rosaline looked back at the event venue once before turning towards the driver, "Let's go!" With that she got seated into the car, and the entire car ride back was silent.The driver didn’t turn on the music, she didn’t open her phone either.The city lights passed outside the window in long streaks of gold and white, reflections blurring against the glass, but she didn’t really see
THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
"This year, it's too grandeur than last year, isn't it?" "Looks like, guests this year all are from influential families!""This event, invited all the social elites who are even hard to appear at least once in high society!" All the guests are whispering among themselves, while observing the special guests among them.The charity event was everything it promised to be, soft classical music humming beneath low conversations, crystal glasses catching light, wealth and influence wrapped in polite smiles.The private lounge, reserved for high-tier donors, was quieter than a normal lounge.Rosaline being the only heiress of Valemire family recieved an invitation as well, and she wasn't able to bring herself to say no, due to her father's ill health, so she forced herself to attend it.Just got seated near the window watching outside through windows while expecting a message from Christian, a glass of water untouched beside
