THREATS TO MY FAMILY JEWELS
"So, are you interested in her?" Rosaline asked smoothly, as if ready to finish him smoothly if he were to say yes.Christian shook his head, knowing a single mistake would cost him his life. "No.""Really?" "I’m not interested in her, in fact, I’m not interested in any woman." Rosaline raised a brow trying to tease him, "So, are you into men?" "What?! No!" She grinned wickedly. "It’s okay, even if you are into mem, I can handle you and make you like me, but..." Her tone dropped into something dark and cold. "If you dare love anyone else but me, I’ll make sure you can’t use that little thing of yours with another woman again." "And here we go, threats to my family jewels, lovely, what a woman I got messed with," sighing inwardly, he gulped hard, to assure her, "I’m not lying about the Eldewyn family, I swear, I don't know anything about them, I don't even know why they're supporting me, I'm clueless just like you..." Rosaline’s smile returned as if it had never left, she kissed
DO YOU THINK I'M JOKING?
"Did you ask why?" Rosaline’s voice was soft, but her smile was anything but innocent.Christian nodded cautiously, his back still half-tensed from the earlier flirtation.He was hoping for a business-like response, maybe something with charts, spreadsheets, hell, even a TED talk would be more comfortable, as long as she doesn't begin flirting with him, he is fine with anything.But then she said, "You have the fire, the fire I love, and moreover I want to make you undefeatable... to be a better partner by my side."Christian blinked in confusion, "Partner? Excuse me? We are not in a soap opera... right? What exactly is she playing again?" Holding back his inner thoughts, he cleared his throat. "Better partner? Are you serious? When are you going to stop joking with me?" Rosaline’s smirk curled. "When did I ever say I was joking? Do you think I'm joking?" And with that, she stepped closer, far too close. The conference table dug into his lower back as she locked him in, her perfum
I'M TIMELESS
“I'll take my leave now,” Christian said being tired of seeing those old faces who are irritating and annoying, which is making him feel nauseous. Even if he stayed a minute longer in the room, he felt like throwing up on their faces.So, without even waiting for anyone's response, Christian walked out, the boardroom door clicked shut behind him, but the weight of the tension still clung to his shoulders like a second skin.He walked down the hallway, fists lightly clenched in his pockets, and tightened jaw.The confrontation, the stares, the challenge, it was all circling his mind like a storm, the further he got from that room, the louder his heartbeat became.Behind him, quiet footsteps approached.“Chris,” came Oliver’s voice, soft and even from behind.Christian stopped but didn’t turn immediately, he knew that tone, calm and polite, but holding something back leaving it more mysterious than ever.When he finally faced him, Oliver was already standing just a step away, hands tuck
WHY IS IT UNREASONABLE?
"This isn't possible!" One of the board members argued, rising to his feet, his face pale and knotted with frustration. "You can't demand the resignation of this entire board just because you're feeling bold, none are scared of you, Mr. Christian, it's just you're being unreasonable here." The room buzzed again, chairs shifting, murmurs rising."That's why they say maturity comes with age, he neither has maturity nor the age...." Then came the sound of door opening, and a powerful person who has been watching everything till then through her mobile, finally entered the scene.It's none other than Rosaline.She stood with authority, her eyes sharp beneath the elegant tilt of her chin. Her emerald heels clicked as she stepped forward."Why is it unreasonable?" She asked in a calm tone. "When you can question the authority of an heir, why can't the heir question your relevance to his company? Who gave you the right to question him?" The room became extremely silent, because the oppone
I'M DEAD SERIOUS
"Excuse me?" Edward’s voice sounded like a harsh whip through the tension filled air. The woman at the far end leaned back lazily, crossing her arms. "I said, what makes you think we will accept a boy dragged in out of nowhere to sit at this table like he earned it?" Christian said nothing, not yet, his silence was heavier than words. He stood at Edward’s side, his expression hard to read while his eyes scanned each and everyone's face. "It's better if you watch your tone, Mrs. Marlene," Edward warned, with a low and sharp voice, "When you're addressing someone, it's better if you understand the position of that person, he is not just anyone, he is Christian Sargent, Marie’s biological son and Lord Sargent’s only grandson. His place at this table was decided long before any of you even got your first bonus check, I hope you remember your place before you point your finger at my nephew." Marlene shifted uncomfortably in her seat after Edward's warning, but things are not going to
SHALL WE LEAVE?
"So, finally you found it?"The sudden voice made Christian to turn around sharply, it's none other than Ezra who was standing at the doorway, with a soft expression, eyes looking at Christian quietly, especially on the letter in his hands."You knew about this?" Christian asked, while lifting the letter in air.Ezra nodded, stepping into the room. "Yeah, your mom once told me, if fate brings you back to this house, one day you'd find the letter she wrote for you, she knew this day would come because of her visions, looks like her visions were right even at this moment." Christian leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling like it might offer answers. "She must’ve loved him a lot," he murmured. "If not, why would she still believe the man who left her would come back someday? He abandoned her, not in visions but in real, yet, why she trusts him? Hoping about him even though he wasn't by her side when she needed him the most." Ezra was quiet for a moment before saying, "I never
I'VE SEEN YOU THROUGH MY VISIONS
"Is this really written by you, mom?" Christian took a deep breath still in disbelief that the woman who left the house for the man she loved, but today he found a letter within her room with his name on it, which means it's a letter written before even she was pregnant.That's the only part which makes it hard for him to believe that it's a letter written by his mother for real.The room had grown darker, shadows stretching long across the floor, but Christian hadn’t moved yet.He sat in the worn chair at his mother’s old desk, the envelope still resting in his lap like it held the weight of the past and future all at once.With a breath that felt too heavy for his chest, he broke the seal.The paper inside had yellowed slightly with time, its edges soft. Her handwriting was graceful, familiar, though he couldn’t remember ever seeing it like this before.He began to read."To my dearest little star, if this ever reaches you...Then something must’ve happened to bring you here to me,
SHE SEEMED FEARLESS
"Why couldn't I figure out anything?" Christian sighed being alone within his room.The mansion was quieter than usual that evening, as he stepped out of his room finally after being tired of staying within the room.He wandered the halls without a destination. Something about the weight of the pen in his pocket kept pulling his thoughts in circles. He stopped in front of a tall, arched door at the end of the east wing hallway, the only door he had never dared to open.It had always been kept shut.He’d been told from the moment he stepped into the mansion that the room belonged to his mother.Nobody had touched it since the day she left home.His fingers curled around the pen, he turned it slowly in his hand, and a glint of light revealed something he hadn’t noticed before, a tiny ridge near the clip. Pressing it down, he heard a faint click.The door creaked open.Dust hung in the air like a veil of memory. Soft evening light filtered through sheer curtains, the room smelled of
YOU'RE A MAGICIAN, CHRIS
"Is it really possible?" Christian questioned himself as he stepped out of the ICU room, the hallway lights felt too bright, too normal for a moment that had just shifted the axis of his world.He rubbed his face, still processing everything, just Edward, Charles and Betty walked toward him."Chris," Betty said softly, placing a hand on his arm. "Is he okay? What did he say to you? Why did he call you?" Christian gave a small nod. "Grandpa is fine... he’s tired but talking, I think within a few days he'll be completely back to normal, that's what I hope for sd well.... And to speak about what he had told me, it's just that he wanted me to take over the company in his place." There was a moment of silence.Edward blinked in surprise. "The company? He asked you to...?"Christian nodded, this time more firmly than before. "He said he trusts me, and that he doesn’t have time to wait anymore, I know I’ve never shown any interest, but... I told him I’ll try since that's the only thing he
