YOUR KARMA
"Chris, are you okay?" Rosaline asked gently, brushing her fingers against Christian's sleeve after looking at his tensed face.Not wanting to worry her, Christian hummed quietly, "Yeah… I’m okay." Charles who caught the lie in Christian's words, rolled his eyes. "There’s no way he’s fine, he’s just acting... No matter how much he gets pampered, he is still afraid of his grandfather..." "I'm not," Christian insisted, "I'm just thinking about how to give an explanation to grandpa, apart from that nothing else...." "I’ll protect you," Rosaline placed her hand on Christian's trying to assure him, in return Christian gently smiled.However looking at their lovey dovey action, Charles snorted. "These both are ready to protect each other, what about me? Who is going to protect me from my father?" "Your karma," Rosaline shot back in a voice completely not sweet at the same time not rude either.They glared at each other like two kids in a silent war, Christian, exasperated and tired by s
HE IS COMING
"Father?" Charles’s fingers froze mid-air.He stared at the phone screen, lips thinning as he read the name flashing in bold capital letters, "Why is he calling me at this time?" Looking at Charles's nervous face, Christian leaned in curiously. "Who is it?" Charles raised a finger for silence, his voice was calm, at the same time filled with extreme fear, "hello father..." But calmness wasn’t what came in return."So, when were you planning to inform the family that our heir just got married in a courthouse, like a common fugitive?" Charles flinched at his father's furiousness and sighed inwardly, "What the hell! How did he even got to know about this? What should I do now?" His entire body is almost trembling, as he winced. "It was a sudden decision, Father, I was just about to..." "No need for your stupid explanations, we will be there in an hour, you've to bring that brat and his wife to the east side estate." The line cut before Charles could even utter a single word.Char
YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF HER?
"I don't know," Christian said quietly, holding Rosaline’s hand tighter. "But what I do know is… she’s not someone I’ll abandon. I’m not just here out of responsibility, I’m here because I want to be, I chose this and, I chose her."For the first time in her life, Rosaline’s confident expression cracked. Her eyes became wet, blinking fast as if she refused to let the tears fall, but they were there. Not weakness, but something different, something she wasn’t used to showing, she had been claimed, not as a prize, not as a burden, but as someone wanted, and that was the moment she knew her choice of choosing Christian was always perfect.The clerk announced with a happy face, "From today, you both are wife and husband officially." Christian and Rosaline exchanged their glances, Rosaline looking all happy as she is finally going to start a family just like everyone."Come out," Charles said sharply with a tight and restraint voice.Christian mumbled. "If it’s to convince me to leave
DESPARATION?
"Uncle…" Christian whispered with a dry voice still in disbelief that Charles happened to come for real when he wanted to keep everything a secret at least till he comes up with an explanation.But Charles did come for real and standing at the entrance, immaculate in a three-piece suit.His gloves were already off, one finger slowly tapping the back of the other glove in his hand as he stepped forward, each footstep sounding like a gavel.Rosaline didn’t move. She only tilted her head, lips curving into a faint, knowing smirk, as if she had been expecting this moment all along.Charles didn’t return the smile.Instead, his eyes slowly scanned the room, from the cheap floral wallpaper, to the government-issued chairs, to the startled clerk behind the counter, and finally to the trembling pen in Christian’s hand."A Sargent heir eloping like some teenage scandal headline?" He asked in a calm yet sharp voice like a razor, "So Chris, you couldn’t even warn me before ruining your life? Hu
IT FEELS THE SAME
"Aren't you going to get ready?" Rosaline came out of the room in a new outfit, making Christian to frown, "Ready? To come out in this bathrobe?" Just then a knock on the door, Rosaline went to open the door and with a smile she returned carrying a bag in her hand, "Your outfit for today is here...." He sighed rubbing his temples, and took the bag from her hands, silently without a word he went into the other room.One glance at the outfit made him groan. "Why do I feel like I’m digging my own grave?" However as he knew there was nothing he could do, wearing the outfit brought by Rosaline, he came out of the room, glancing at him from head to toe, she smirked, "Looks good in this dress, very suitable for a wedding!" She handed him a glass of water and some medicine, "This works best for hangovers," he immediately took the medicine as that's the most important thing he needs at that moment because of extreme headache.Once he is done with the medicine, she smiled maliciously, "Let'
GO WHERE?
"Arghh..."Christian groaned, shielding his face from the sunlight spilling through the tall windows.His head throbbed with a dull ache, like tiny drums banging against his skull. With his eyes still closed, he muttered in annoyance, "Ezra, what's the time...?"A minute of silence, then suddenly a voice reached his ears.But it's not Ezra’s."Who is Ezra?"The voice was smooth. Feminine... A little too amused, and very familiar, that familiar voice made his eyes snapped open."Rosaline?" he whispered, blinking rapidly, "Am I dreaming or are you for real?"And there she was, laying beside him, hair tousled, bathrobe loosely draped over her body, her cheek resting on her knuckles as she stared at him like he was the punchline of a joke only she understood, "Do you still think it's a dream?"He bolted upright, eyes still fixed on her.Dim lighting, two half-empty glasses of wine, one champagne bottle on its side."Why are you here? What are you doing in my bed?"Rosaline raised an ele
