ASK HER TO LEAVE
"Chris…" Adrian began to say something as he stood near the living room table, his expression looked serious as if he had been preparing to continue the conversation they had been having only moments earlier.Before he could finish the sentence, the sharp sound of the doorbell echoed through the apartment.Both men turned their heads toward the entrance instinctively.Christian pushed himself up from the couch without saying a word and walked toward the door with slow, deliberate steps. His expression remained calm, though the heaviness in his eyes had not disappeared since the events of the previous night.When he opened the door and saw the person standing outside, his gaze hardened immediately.For a brief second he simply looked at her.Then he turned away."It’s an unwanted guest," Christian said indifferently as he walked back toward the living room. "Ask her to leave."Adrian, who had been standing quietly and discussing security matters with Lysandre only moments earlier, shi
WHAT ABOUT THOSE INTRUDERS?
"Did you stay awake once again the whole night, Chris?" Adrian’s voice carried a quiet concern as he stepped into the living room early the next morning.The faint light of dawn filtering through the newly replaced balcony glass and spreading across the apartment that still carried the lingering memory of the chaos from the previous night.Adrian intentionally went back to his room hoping Christian would do the same while he has a deep conversation with his people, Adrian expected Christian to stay within his room and take rest without worrying about anything however things happened different to what he has expected.Christian was sitting on the couch facing the balcony, his posture relaxed at first glance, yet the stillness in his expression revealed that his mind had not rested even for a moment. His eyes remained fixed on the clear glass doors that had been repaired only a few hours earlier, as if he expected them to shatter again at any second."I tried to sleep," Christian repl
SO THIS WASN'T RANDOM
"Why did they try to kill you and me?"Christian’s voice broke the silence that had settled over the ruined living room, and although he tried to keep his tone steady, the confusion behind the question was impossible to hide as he stared at Adrian across the shattered glass scattered across the floor.Adrian did not answer immediately.Instead, he walked slowly toward the broken balcony doors and looked down into the dark streets below, scanning the shadows for any sign that the intruders might still be nearby.The night had swallowed them completely.Christian sighed while rubbing his temples, "It's same as how it happened back then at Sargent's estate, but at that time that man tried to provoke me.... However these people are almost trying to kill us.... Why?" "They’re gone, no need to think too much about the people who are gone already," Adrian said quietly after a moment.Christian let out a slow breath and ran a hand through his hair as he tried to process everything that had j
IT IS CONFIRMED
"Mr. Adrian… Are you awake?"Christian’s voice was low but clear as it traveled through the quiet hallway, and although the apartment was wrapped in the deep silence of midnight, the faint tension beneath his words was enough to pull Adrian out of the light sleep he had been attempting for the past hour.From inside his room, Adrian immediately opened his eyes and sat up slightly, sensing something unusual in Christian’s tone that made him rise from the bed without hesitation."What is it, Chris?" Adrian asked while stepping into the hallway.Christian stood near the living room entrance, his posture was alert in a way that did not belong to someone who had been trying to sleep only moments earlier."I think I heard something strange," Christian replied quietly.Adrian frowned slightly, and the apartment was still.The distant city noise barely reached them through the closed windows, and the steady hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen was the only sound filling the silence."You mi
YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ IT
"You went somewhere, didn’t you?"Christian’s voice came from the living room the moment Adrian stepped inside the apartment, and although the words sounded casual, the quiet stillness surrounding them made it clear that the young man had been sitting there for quite some time waiting for the door to open.Adrian closed the door behind him slowly before turning toward the sofa where Christian sat, and the sight immediately made his chest tighten slightly because the television in front of him was playing silently while Christian stared out of the window rather than watching it."I had a small matter to take care of," Adrian replied calmly as he removed his coat and placed it neatly on the chair near the entrance. "I thought you were taking a nap, so I decided to go out and handle a few things which I'm supposed to do, but didn't expect you to be waking up before I could even return."Christian hummed faintly as if the explanation was enough for him, and he did not press further even t
THAT MUCH WAS OBVIOUS
"You sounded urgent on the phone," Aurora said as she placed her cup of coffee on the table and looked across at the man sitting opposite her. "That’s unusual for someone like you, Mr. Adrian.... And what made you call me all of a sudden to a place like this?"She casually shrugged her shoulders, "I don't think you called me here just for a cup of coffee or to enjoy the vibes in this coffee, am I right?" The café was quiet in the late afternoon, filled with the low hum of conversations and the distant sound of cups touching saucers, but the small table where Adrian and Aurora sat carried a tension that made the surrounding calm feel strangely distant.Adrian did not touch the drink in front of him.His hands rested calmly on the table, yet the stillness in his posture carried something heavier than anger, something closer to restrained fury.He made sure to choose this time since Christian is taking a nap at home, he decided to finish off everything and return home as soon as possibl
