I DON'T LIKE PAWNS PRETENDING TO BE KINGS
"I think it's best to end here," One of the senior managers said standing up from his seat, "Let's not drag it more...." Christian crossed his arms with a sly smile, "So, that's it?" "Huh?" "Well," Christian also stood up from his position, "It's you people who actually called me over something silly and blamed me, accused me, threatened me, rather than trying to investigate more, just decided to choose a scapegoat, if not me being little bright enough to argue for myself, what would've happened today?" "What are you trying to say now?" The senior manager questioned Christian, to which Christian responded without any hesitation, "I'm saying I need justice... I'm saying you people are wrong, I'm saying I deserve an apology." Everyone froze after hearing to Christian fearlessy demanding an apology."What made you think we are going to apologise to a mere intern like you?"Christian can see their arrogance clearly, and he is no less compared to them, "What made you think a mere inte
SO, ABSENCE EQUALS GUILT NOW?
"Explain yourself," one of the senior managers addressed coldly, tapping the file that had just been slammed open, "Your login was used to access and alter restricted financial documents, that is serious misconduct, just this one reason is enough for us to take action against you." Christian blinked once, slowly, heartbeat increased in his chest, but his lips curved into the faintest smile as he finally decided to how to play this."Restricted?" He asked, tilting his head. "Are you sure?" The man was confused at first because of Christian's attitude, as they expected him to shiver and apologise while begging for their forgiveness, but instead Christian is acting untouchable, it infuriated him, "How dare you question me? Do you have any idea with whom you're speaking?" Christian leaned forward on the table, his hands clasped calmly surprising everyone, and his words sliced the situation like glass."With all due respect, sir, the company gave me that login, it wasn’t mine to begin w
WHAT'S YOUR EXPLANATION FOR THIS?
"I wish I could ask her," Christian sat on the edge of the bed, his mind still replaying the warmth of her presence the night before. "But, I just don't want her to feel uncomfortable since everything in between us has been rushed, I don't want to make things more awkward...." She had stood by him, even when doubt crept into his chest like poison. For a slight moment, he had believed he wasn’t alone and she'll never betray him as she knew the pain of betrayal very well.The sharp buzz of his phone shattered the fragile calmness, as he glanced at the screen, it was none other than Luna."Chris, where are you?" Her voice burst through the line before he could even greet her. "The board has gone mad. They’ve called an emergency session, and your name’s all over it." His brow furrowed. "Huh? My name? But why?" "Your name only, they’re saying the breach in the finance reports came from your login, they want you in the office now before things spiral, and doubting you because of your sud
NOT GOING ANYWHERE?
"You'll not leave me alone," Christian looked at her with one of the most vulnerable eyes, "like everyone else, right?" Rosaline shook her head with a gentle smile, "no, I would never leave you alone, how can I even think of leaving this adorable baby boy?" "Well, that's a relief then," Christian smiled back at her, Rosaline pulled blanket over Christian, "sleep now, it's pretty late already." With a gentle hum, Christian closed his eyes to sleep, as he knew there are many things waiting for him on a fresh day and for that he truly needed this sleep.The night settled heavily and silence filled around the mansion. Rosaline lay beside Christian, her shawl tucked close around her body as if guarding her own heartbeat. Sleep refused to come, her mind throbbed with the weight of the velvet pouch hidden beneath her pillow.Every time she closed her eyes, she felt the amulet pulsing faintly, like it was alive. Like it was waiting or getting pulled by another part.Her hand drifted ben
YOU'RE AWAKE?
"Did you really find it?" Rosaline still couldn't believe that she finally found it, from the other side, they confirmed, "Yes madam, it's with us, and we are coming for you..." Rosaline hummed and hung up on the call, the silence in the room stretched after Rosaline ended the call.She stared at the phone for a moment longer, her breath steady, though her pulse was quick. "The amulet piece… finally it's in my hands, it took so long, but now it's mine once again." Turning her gaze back to Christian, she softened. He was still lost in dreams, face unguarded, fingers twitching faintly against the sheets as if he were reaching for someone. "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's really necessary for me to keep this news away from you for the time period," she gently caressed his hair, "I knew you weren't a bad person, but the reason why you first came to Valemire mansion is this amulet, I don't think you'll abandon me after getting that amulet, still, I'm not ready to take any r
IT'S HIS BUSINESS
"Chris, aren't you going to have dinner?" Rosaline came into the room to call Christian for dinner only to see him sleeping peacefully."Are you just resting or sleeping?" Rosaline gently asked getting closer to him, there's no response from him, through which she figured out he must be tired and fallen asleep with the laptop in his lap.The room was quiet, apart from the steady rise and fall of Christian’s breathing, without making a sound, she removed the laptop and placed it aside, covered him with a blanket to keep him warm.Unlike his usual tensed face, while sleeping he looked totally like an angelic beauty to Rosaline, "You must've been born as a girl with these looks, I'm sure men might've gone crazy for your beauty! Too bad, born as a man, but still beauty of a woman is nothing in front of you." The faint moonlight slipping through the curtains softened his face, highlighting the sharp cut of his jaw, the curve of his lashes, and the faint crease that lingered even in sleep.
