The Lost Heir Of Sargent ARE YOU CERTAIN THIS IS WHAT SARGENTS WANT?
"What exactly are you talking about Lily?" Amelia asked curiously looking at her daughter.Just like Amelia, everyone looked curiously at Liliana, as she said something out of a sudden.However, Liliana, ever the composed lawyer, tapped her manicured nails against the stack of papers she had checked thoroughly.The fluorescent light caught the sharp glint in her eyes as she finally spoke."Father, look at this," she said, sliding the documents across the table. Her voice was low, but there was an undertone of urgency. "It’s clearly mentioned in a small clause, though everything belongs to Chris, one thing to be noticed that it will be completely his only when he turns 21. Until then, the guardian he recognizes has control over his property, that's why Morris and his family have been enjoying everything till now." Lord Sargent’s face darkened further as he picked up the papers, scanning the words carefully, and it's true, whatever Liliana said is right, he clenched his jaw, "So that
The Lost Heir Of Sargent LOOKS LIKE YOU WON THIS TIME
"Yes, this is what they want," Henry spoke with a confident voice, "Moreover, the Sargent family doesn't take these matters lightly. They expect you to act swiftly for better possibilities to join the Sargent group of companies." Morris's face became bright with greed hearing to Henry.Teresa placed a hand on Morris’s arm. "This is a golden opportunity for us honey. That boy has been nothing but trouble, it’s time to get rid of him and troubles of him, don't you think so?" Morris hesitated for only a moment before nodding. "Fine, that brat he himself left the house without any apology, so a bastard like him doesn't deserve to be a part of this family." "Exactly," Teresa grinned, "Atleast now that useless guy going to be useful for us, if you get hold of this chance to join with Sargents, our Ivan will have bright future too!" Morris realised Teressa is right, while Teresa felt inwardly, "As long as that guy is a part of this family, the position of my son will be always illegitima
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WAS THIS ALL REAL?
The soft yet warm rays of morning sunlight passed through the massive windows of a grand bedroom.Christian stirred in the expensive silks, his eyes fluttering open to take a look around his surroundings.The high, and extraordinary ceiling with its delicate designs, the glamorous chandelier, and the plush furniture all screamed richness in every corner of the room.It was highly different from the small, dimly lit storeroom he had been confined to in the Adams household.For a moment, he thought he was dreaming, the suffocating memories of his past whispered doubts in his mind, "Was this all real?" That's when a soft knock on the door broke through his thoughts, slightly getting up in the bed, Christian said, "come in." The door opened, revealing an elegantly dressed man with a kind face."Good morning, young master," the man greeted with a slight bow. "I’m James, your personal butler hired by Lord Sargent."Christian smiled at him, "I see, nice to meet you, I'll be under your care
The Lost Heir Of Sargent I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!
"Aunt," Christian saw Liliana holding his amulet, immediately taking it from her hands, Christian said with a smile, "Yes, I'm thinking about this only." Liliana ruffled his hair, "I kept it safe for you, since you're unconscious at that time, and later totally forgot about this, finally giving it back to you now," Christian hugged her happily, "thank you aunt, thank you so much for keeping this safe." "Silly boy, what's there to thank me for this?" Liliana chuckled, though she felt emotional looking at Christian finally opening up himself to everyone. Taking the amulet, Christian went back to his room, being seated on the couch within his room under the gentle flow of moonlight passing through the windows, he placed the amulet on a small table in front of him. The amulet glowing more brighter under the moonlight, "This isn't the glow I witnessed that day, it was more brighter, more magical, it almost felt unreal when broken pieces joined together, is it real or my imaginati
The Lost Heir Of Sargent LET'S SEE WHO'LL END UP IN THE STREETS!
••NO POV••"Years of friendship, Mia," Christian spoke in a trembling voice with a mix of disbelief and sadness inwardly, "And is this what you understood about me? After everything, is this what you think of me?" "Maybe," he said slowly, a voice mirroring his sorrow, "maybe I expected too much from you, maybe I believed in a version of you that doesn’t exist anymore." His eyes glancing at the screen of the mobile, "Or maybe you forgot about our friendship long ago, it's time to say goodbye to everything!"But what he still couldn't understand was her words from an earlier conversation, just then he opened his laptop and surfed through the internet hoping he would find something regarding what Mia has talked about.He finally found a video, on the screen, Morris adjusted his tie and leaned into the microphone, with a calm voice yet full of accusations."Christian Adam is not related to Adam's family anymore, he is ungrateful, jealous, and manipulative, he stole money from the house
The Lost Heir Of Sargent SUGAR MOMMY
"Mia Verlon?" Betty spelled the name while her eyes scanned the papers in her hands, "The youngest daughter of the Verlon family." Her assistant nodded respectfully. "Yes, madam, she’s the young master Christian's childhood friend, the two of them were practically inseparable growing up." Betty's expression seemed to be unreadable while Liliana let out a disapproving sigh. "Then how could she speak to my nephew in such a manner? Is this a way to treat her friend?" Betty has already informed Liliana about the message she has seen in Christian's mobile last night, from then Liliana has been extremely furious.The assistant hesitated, choosing his words carefully not to anger Betty or Liliana, "I can’t say for certain, madam, but I’ve heard things haven’t been the same between the young master and Miss Verlon these past few years. They’re still close, but not as they once were, there are few rumors about a childhood engagement alliance in between two families back then, but that doe
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT PLAN OF YOURS?
"Sugar mommy?" Christian sighed at Ivan's words, while unbothered Ivan smirked and pointed toward Liliana."Isn’t she your sugar mommy? If not, then what is she? If she isn't your sugar mommy, why are you getting pampered by her?" Teresa stepped forward with disdainful expression as she looked up and down at Christian, "Looking all rich, even so what kind of life is this? Come on, Chris, though you're kicked out of the family records, still if you get on your knees and beg for our forgiveness, we might consider letting you back, though only as a servant, still it's a respectful life than this kind of life." Teressa said loud enough making people around her to hear, and everyone's attention fell on Christian and Liliana.Ivan joined his mother with a sneer. "Yeah, Chris, beg for our forgiveness, it’s better than selling yourself to women like her, who knows what kind of diseases an old woman like that might be carrying?" Before Ivan could finish, Christian slapped him hard across th
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU BOTH DO TO PROVOKE THEM?
"Don't be too full of yourself Chris," Ivan shouted at Christian, "You think you’re someone who can look down on us now, don’t you? Just because you’ve found some rich old woman to back you up...."Before he could finish, Christian’s slap echoed through the mall once more. Ivan stumbled back, holding his cheek which stings. "I advise you to shut your mouth," Christian said coldly. "I don't tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her, if there's any old woman here it's your mother, not someone elegant and beautiful like my aunt." "Chrissy baby, you praise me too much," Liliana smiled at the way Christian called her beautiful, but Christian insisted, "It's true aunt, you're indeed beautiful, I don't like the way he is calling you old!" Liliana chuckled softly. "I told you, Chrissy, people like them don’t deserve your energy, they’re not worth our time, we are here to spend some quality of time together, let's not ruin our moods." She immediately turned her gaze to Teresa, who was s

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
IT'S TIME!
"Do what?" Christian laughed, glancing over at Luna with one eyebrow arched in amusement.Luna folded her arms, pouting dramatically as Christian acting as if he didn't understand what she is trying to say, "Don’t act innocent now, Chris… You know what I mean, don't you?" He leaned back against the car seat, arms resting on the steering wheel, "You'll have to be a little more specific, miss drama queen, only then I'll be able to understand."She gasped, feigning hurt, "Drama queen? Is that how you treat the woman who just saved you from a raging hurricane disguised as a human girl?"Christian chuckled, tilting his head slightly. "You mean Mia?"Luna grinned, moving closer to him, "That’s right, I stood by your side and endured her shrieking, so now you're indebted to me." He raised a brow teasing her. "What? Indebted? Do you want a medal? Gold or silver?""Nope," she said, popping the ‘p’. Then, with a playful twinkle in her eyes, she added, "I want ramen." Christian blinked with
WHAT DID SHE MEANT BY YOU OWE HER?
"You owe me, you owe me forever," Mia screamed aloud from behind, "You've to be grateful for me forever." But Christian no longer wants to entertain her nonsense.The heavy door slammed behind them, muffling Mia’s shrill screams.Christian strode ahead without a word, his hand still wrapped tightly around Luna’s, his pace fast and furious. His shoulders were rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly that the vein in his neck pulsed visibly.Luna followed without protest, sensing the storm raging inside him.She stumbled in one place because of his fast walking, as he turned back, she smiled awkwardly, understanding that he needs to slow down, silently he slowed his pace for her.Noticing his slow pace, Luna smiled inwardly, "Oww! My kind Chris! If you're this kind and sweet, who'll not fall for you? I don't understand why that annoying bitch couldn't see this side of yours, if it's me who got all that care and attention from you the same way she got, I could've cherished you forever in my
I NEVER NEEDED HIM!
"I hate you," Mia snapped at Christian foolishly without even understanding what exactly Christian has done, more importantly why exactly he did it, "you deserve that slap."She raised her hand once again to slap Christian to ease her anger, but her hand was pushed away, and a loud, sharp slap cracked through the room.Mia stumbled back, clutching her burning cheek, staring at Luna in utter shock, because it was Luna who reacted to the earlier slap instead of Christian."You dare lay your hands on me?" Mia stared at her in disbelief, "You... How can you a lowlife bitch dare too...." "I should have done it long ago!" Luna shouted, trembling with anger because of the pain in Christian's eyes, "How dare you hurt my Chris like this? All he's ever done is show you kindness, and you repay him with betrayal and poison! Rather than going in his way letting you to be devoured by these predators, he stepped in to save your dignity today, but what exactly did you do? You neither understood his
WHY DID YOU EVEN SLAP ME?
"Okay then, I'll make it fast," Christian said walking into the bathroom to get freshen up.To wait for Christian, Luna went downstairs, and found Amelia sitting there already, with a smile, she sat comfortably on the living room sofa, absently swinging her legs as she waited for Christian to come downstairs. Across from her, Amelia sat with a warm smile, knitting something soft and blue between her fingers."So, did he wake up?" Amelia asked with a smile, Luna nodded her head, "Yes, Mrs. Sargent, he woke up." Amelia sighed at the formal way of calling by Luna, "What Mrs. Sargent? Call me grandma, you're Christian's friend, which means granddaughter to me also, so don't be formal with me." "Grandma," Luna called her with a lot of hesitation, Amelia smiled at her, "Exactly, call me like that only." Luna nodded her head with a gentle smile."What about Chris? Is he still getting ready?" Amelia asked looking towards the stairs, Luna nodded her head, "Yeah, he said he'll be freshen u
A DATE WITH LUNA?
"Hey... Hey..." Ezra sighed looking at Christian who is lying on bed, "It's not even afternoon, are you sure about sleeping?" Christian glared at him, "Are you even sure about asking me?" "Huh?" "In the name of training, I got bullied there, as if that isn't enough, you and your commentary from behind," Christian gritted his teeth, "Even after three hours of shower, the dirt in my body didn't leave as if I took a mudbath, I'm tired as hell, can't you see my condition?" Ezra didn't argue, just scratched his head with an awkward smile.Closing his eyes, Christian said, "I want to sleep, please don't disturb me." With a silent hum, Ezra left from there, and for Christian, it didn't took much of time for him to fall asleep, within no time, he was pulled into a deep slumber.For hours, he slept peacefully totally forgetting the time.In his deep sleep, he stood at the foot of the massive gate, its wrought-iron bars stretching far above him, disappearing into a sky that was unnaturally
