Fame Building System Chapter 105
Dave walked straight right up into the hall. He had been informed by his father that there was going to be a dinner prepared for the heir. He wasn't around after all and who else could the heir be apart from him? He was just going to go there and take over what was rightfully his. Meanwhile, after Christopher heard these words, his hands were forged into a ball. He stood up from the point that he was standing, getting Raymond even more confused than he was already. "Where are you going, young master?" Raymond could not help but inquire since he was extremely confused but Christopher did not give any response. Rather he went ahead to ask the question that had been longing in his mind all this while. "If he isn't here to say Hello, then what is his motive?" He inquired. "Before your grandfather regretted his decision, Dave's father has always been the one overseeing the company. But that was until a year ago. He was caught in some financial crime. Enough to have built his own compa
Fame Building System Chapter 106
The two guards drew closer towards Christopher but to the surprise of everyone, he didn't shake, even for a single moment."We are going to spare you. If you go back to our young master and apologize." They said,"Yeah. He should do that and save his life as soon as he can." The cleaner said, already shivering on his behalf."You don't have to say that Sia. I am sure that he is going to take the opportunity with open arms." The older one said."But what is he still waiting for? Should he be doing so already?" Another one of them said.But instead, Christopher decided to go contrary to their words and he crossed his hands over his chest and said."So what? Your master is rich so should I be shivering? Shaky like a baby? Oh my! I am so scared.You know how that is going to happen, hit your head hard on the wall and go to bed. Maybe the pain is going to be potent enough to make you come back to your senses." He replied.Rumbles of shock ran through the spine of everyone that was gathered

Mia couldn’t believe that she had fallen into her own trap this time and now, her own words have been twisted against her.She immediately changed the subject of their discussion and diverted it towards the pending issue at hand, Samuel and Elizabeth.“Let’s not get carried away by such mere distractions now” Mia said as she pulled out her phone from a small purse beside her.Raising a brow, she slightly waved it in the air “Shall we?”Nodding his head Christopher occupied a sitting position on the other end of the bench before Mia handed his phone over to him.Mia requested for Samuel’s contact which he immediately sent to her.“Should I also send Elizabeth’s, we might be needing it too”“Don’t bother, I already have it”Christopher stared at Mia with a questioning look on his face as he had both his brows raised.Noticing this, Mia became curious, wondering what she might have possibly said or done to warrant such a look.“What?” Looking away from her phone’s screen, she questioned

“The call”“What call?”Amazed by her sudden forgetfulness, Christopher stared at Mia in disbelief with his lips slightly parted. “Are you for real?”“Ohh, Samuel”All that talk about Elizabeth had made Mia to suddenly forget what they were initially supposed to do a short while ago.“Why are you staring at me like that?”“You forget your phone every single day yet I don’t react that way…..Jeez”Christopher wanted to say something to defend himself but he held back instead, it was only going to prolong the issue further and Christopher wasn’t prepared to take that route at the moment.And he certainly wasn’t prepared for another round of Mia’s banters, at least not until a few issues had been resolved with Samuel and Elizabeth.Mia went ahead to copy Samuel's number from the text that Christopher had sent her before proceeding to paste it on her dialer.One tap away from hitting the call button, she paused and turned to look at Vincent.“Go on, place the call already" Christopher urge

The dimming of the sun and the slow darkening of the day was obvious enough to announce the gradual approach of the evening to anyone who looked up in the sky.Due to the presence of ashy looking clouds in the sky, she could already tell there was a slight tendency it might rain that day.Or maybe it was just an exaggerated indication of the evening’s approach.Still sitting on the swing bench in the garden with her left ear occupied by an active earbud, she had a book in her hand.The book she had sat there reading all morning. It was fascinating that she could delve into the world of fiction simply.A soft cold wind blew Mia and sent chilly shivers down her spine. Because of this, the hairs on her arms began to stand, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.This gave her a tingling sensation as she shivered and began rubbing both her arms with her palms, trying to warm up a little.It was almost as if nature was suspending her activity on the bench, sending her back into th

Mia sat in front of her large, door-sized window staring into oblivion when her moment of silence was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.The moment she heard this knock on the door, she discarded her thoughts, diverting her attention towards the knock coming from her door.“Who could that possibly be?“ She wondered to herself as she stayed put without moving an inch, thinking that the person would probably assume that she was asleep and eventually go away.For some reason, she was just not in the mood that evening.It felt as though her emotions were playing out in unison with the weather.Dark, cloudy, foggy…… She just wanted to relax.From the rhythm of the knock, Mia figured that the person at the door could only be Christopher.There were only three people who lived in that house; herself, Marie and Christopher.Ms. Marie had already dropped off her tea and obviously had no business with her until her next meal.It had to be him!Seeing that the person was no longer knoc

Christopher was right about one thing, the rain wasn’t much but Mia was more than certain about the other, Samuel wouldn’t make it to the Christopher mansion that evening.Mia turned on her phone and set up a timer that would count down from that moment till the evening had finally passed.She shut her eyes for a while hoping to fall asleep when she suddenly began to feel a repetitive vibration.It was her phone.She was very reluctant to pick the call but at the same time, she knew that she had to.Rolling over to the other side of her bed, she reached for her bedside table and took the phone from the table.“Hello?” Mia froze as a deep male voice resounded from the other end of the phone.The evening went by very quickly and there were still no calls nor signs of Samuel.“I guess he wasn’t coming afterall” Christopher thought to himself as walked into the kitchen.Feeling a slight wave of defeat, he knew that Mia had already won this round and she was going to rub it in his face for

As far as Christopher knew Elizabeth she was not one of a kind, rather, she was one of the kinds to stay away from.Elizabeth was shrewd, hot headed and mannerless, the direct opposite of the calm, polite Samuel.Apart from her parents and siblings, Samuel was probably the only person on earth who was blind to all of her flaws.What exactly could Elizabeth have done to Samuel that warranted him to year for her so badly.Was he doing all of this on his own accord, was she blackmailing him, or has she cast a spell on him?“I see…….So you’re willing to do anything to keep her?”“Absolutely anything“This was getting even more serious than Christopher initially pictured it to be but none of this was really Christopher’s business.He just wanted to set things right so that he wouldn’t be stuck with a feeling of guilt.Whatever the outcome might eventually turn out to be in the end was all on Samuel.Clearing his throat, Christopher took a sip out of his glass before attempting to speak, “I

The man—male—down the alley was Skull .After ten years, after all the executions and burnings, a Skull male was prowling toward her. Pure, solid Skull . There was no escaping him as he emerged from the shadows yards away. The vagrant in the alcove and the others along the alley fell so quiet Mia could again hear those bells ringing in the distant mountains.Tall, broad-shouldered, every inch of him seemingly corded with muscle, he was a male blooded with power. He paused in a dusty shaft of sunlight, his silver hair gleaming.As if his delicately pointed ears and slightly elongated canines weren’t enough to scare the living shit out of everyone in that alley, including the now-whimpering madwoman behind Mia , a wicked-looking tattoo was etched down the left side of his harsh face, the whorls of black ink stark against his sun-kissed skin.The Morse codes could easily have been decorative, but she still remembered enough of the Skull language to recognize them as words, even in such a

What she wants?Mia wasn’t naive. She knew very well that Christopher wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess without her. It seemed he had made the mistake of angering Arthur and at least, she was able to help him. Even if it meant giving up her own freedom.Why she was so nice to the same man who had abandoned her many times when she needed him but now she felt the urge to give herself up to help him… she didn’t know. But he was her brother and she felt somewhat responsible for him.“I… I want my brother safe,” she began to speak after a moment's pause. “I want him to leave alive. I want to see him leave alive and for your men to never go after him again.”“And in return, you’ll take my offer,” he mused. Mia nodded and the smirk on Arthur’s face widened.“That’s a deal,” he responded, his tone final. Mia felt a little bit of relief, even though her heart pounded in her chest.Then, his hand snaked up her arm and she gasped at how warm his palm was on her cool skin. Up her arm, to h

The next morning Mia and the Emissary set off to the King's palace. She had figured out a way to get back without any suspicion and while she had instructed the Emissary to help find Thorne, it was left to her to find a means to get to the location of the Shadow Star.Stepping into the boaders, where the gigantic palace had been built upon, all Mia needed to do was to act as though she had been hurt and with her skills in pretence, no one would question her.The moment she noticed the guards were coming close to her hideout, Mia stepped out, holding one part of her arm and hissing in pain. She looked up to see the guards coming towards her direction. The moment they laid eyes on her, one of them rushed over to help steady her body. Mia looked to see the others moving to her hideout to figure out how she had arrived. As they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, some of the soldiers also rushed over to help her and while they head into the luxurious living room, Mia over hears one o

Anna was taken out of the underground in silence to live in Christopher's mansion and resume the underground at night when she's well rested.Her room was beside Devon's room and well furnished, equally as his own, with luxurious closets large enough to open a boutique.Anna could not stop exclaiming and thought of exactly what was going on.It was the third day she was taking Christopher home after the night she passed out without seeing Christopher himself. She was left alone in the room, only to be taken care of by maids attending to her needs. She needs fresh air, at least, but at the same time, she is scared of breaking the rules.That morning, she had just showered up early and was creaming her body before Christopher walked into her half-nakedness.It was nothing to Christopher, as he has seen her that way several times, but the amusing part is the fact that Anna was covering her body and not throwing herself at him."Out of your clothes! Like right now, put it off." Christop

“How dare you?" Christopher roared like a lion as the champagne got emptied on his dress and flowed freely down his pants. Anna shook terribly, looking for napkins to clean Christopher's suits and shoes. She just emptied a glass of champagne."I'm terribly sorry! I wa---sss" Anna stuttered, trying to complete her words, when Christopher dragged her hair and pulled her up. "You are here to pay your brother's debt, but it's obvious you're not capable!. "Christopher said with a very intimidating voice, letting out goosebumps on Maria's neck."Please, I feel weak! '' Anna begged amidst her tears. She had never felt this way in her entire life, looking for means of survival.She felt her strength leaving her and let her body fall on Devon's hold.Everyone in the VIP room's eyes widened."This baby is indeed grounded!" One of them commented and signaled Christopher to take Anna's body away from him.Before they could move, Christopher gave them a shock. He carried Anna himself to his cl

Without doing extra training between the stacks, Mia found herself less exhausted when she left the library. Christopher had retrieved her from Windhaven after two and a half hours, and she’d already been so bored sitting in Rhys’s mother’s house that she’d nearly smiled to see him. But Christopher ’s face had been tight, his eyes cold and distant, and he’d barely spoken to her when Rhys had appeared. Rhys had barely spoken to her, either, but that was to be expected. It was better if they didn’t speak at all.Yet Christopher hadn’t said more than “I’ll see you later” before leaving again with Rhys after the High Lord had brought them back to the House of Wind, his face still tight and angry.With the extra energy buzzing through her that night, wondering incessantly why Christopher had been so upset, Mia didn’t feel like eating in her room and falling asleep. So she found herself in the doorway of the dining room.Christopher was lounging in his chair, a glass of wine in his hand, st

Hoping Virgil wouldn’t come shove him over the railing for disobeying her orders, he said, “All right. Throw the right hook.”Mia did so. And dropped her damn elbow.“Get back into position.” She did, and he asked, “May I?”Mia nodded, and kept perfectly still as he made minute adjustments to the angle of her arm. “Punch again. Slowly.”She heeded him, and his hand wrapped around her elbow as it began to dip. “See? Keep this up.” He maneuvered her arm back into starting position. “Don’t forget to flow the weight through your hips.” He took her arm, keeping a good foot of distance between their bodies, and moved it through the punch. “Like this.”“All right.” Mia reset herself, and he took a step away. Without his order, she did the punch again. Perfectly.Christopher whistled.“Do that with more force and you’ll shatter a male’s jaw,” he said with a crooked grin. “Give me a combination one-two, then four-five-three, then one-one-two.”Mia ’s brows bunched as she reset herself. Her fee

Five days later, Christopher sat before the desk of the library’s high priestess and watched her enchanted pen move. He’d met Virgil a few times over the centuries—found she had a dry, wicked sense of humor and a soothing presence. He’d made a point not to stare at her hands, or at the face he’d only seen once, when Mor had brought her in so long ago. It had been so battered and bloody it hadn’t looked like a face at all.He had no idea how it had healed beneath the hood. If Madja had been able to save it in a way she hadn’t been able to save Virgil ’s hands. He supposed it didn’t matter what she looked like, not when she had accomplished and built so much with Rhys and Mor within this library. A sanctuary for females who’d endured such unspeakable horrors that he was always happy to carry out justice on their behalf.His mother had needed a place like this. But Rhys had established it long after she’d left this world. He wondered if Azriel’s mother had ever considered coming here, or

Curled up in bed, a book propped on the thick down comforter, Mia was just getting to the sizzling first kiss in her latest novel when a knock thudded on her door.She slammed the book shut and sat up against the pillows. “Yes?”The handle turned, and there he was.Christopher still wore his leathers, the overlapping scales of them full of shadows that made him look like some great, writhing beast as he shut the door.He leaned against the carved oak, his wings rising high above his head like twin mountain peaks.“What?” She slid the book onto the nightstand, sitting up further. His eyes dipped to her sleeveless silk nightgown, then quickly returned to her face. “What?” she demanded again, angling her head. Her unbound hair slid over a shoulder, and she saw him mark that, too.His voice was rough as he said, “I’ve never seen you with your hair down.”She always wore it braided across her head or pinned up. She frowned at the locks that flowed to her waist, the gold amongst the brown g
