“Thank you!” Richard showed his appreciation to the waiter when he came back to their table with their complete orders.Christopher knew from the very start that the conversation between himself and Richard was going to be a very awkward one especially since they’ve had a long bad history together in the past.“It’s almost like I haven’t seen you since forever Christopher ……..It’s funny how fast time flies”“Yeah…” With a faint smile, Christopher nodded his head, Richard was right and he couldn't agree less.Christopher had a lot of questions on his mind about Richard but one thing he was overly curious about was what eventually happened to Richard after the incident that transpired at their final year prom night.He just couldn’t hold back the question he had harboured in his mind for a very long time as he thought of ways to ask Richard…... .What became of him after that very night.“I’m really sorry about what happened to you that night……”There was an awkward silence between the t

The drive from the sushi place to Christopher’s chosen branch of the consortium was not a very long one.After a few turns, Christopher’s car finally arrived at the place he was supposed to be.He was just a few minutes earlier than the expected time he should’ve arrived, that was a good start to the day. He got out of the car and breathed in the freshness of the air that circulated around him before taking out his folder and locking his car.It was a company that made furniture popularly known for its high quality materials such as Italian leather and solid wood with its classic yet modern designs and crystal furniture decor.He took a moment to stare at the tall giant building that stood right before his very eyes.If anyone had told him a few years ago that all of these would eventually be his, Christopher would’ve never believed it.Chin Furniture, a big name tag attached to the very middle of the building spelt out.The moment Christopher entered the building, everyone stayed pu

Christopher turned his head to the left and suddenly began walking back in the opposite direction of the building’s main exit.Something was wrong…….Or was it just his ears playing mind games with him?He slowly walked towards the direction of the arguing voices that he just couldn’t ignore while Mr. Kevin trailed behind him unaware of what exactly was going on in his boss's head.Kevin wanted to question Christopher further but he knew better than to indirectly raise an affliction against himself.After walking back up the stairs and into the halls, Christopher finally approached the room where the arguing voices were coming from.It was from the last office at the very end of the hall.Christopher began to walk down the hall in curiosity as Kevin quietly trailed behind him.The voices became much louder and clearer to Christopher with every step he took closer, this time even to Kevin.“You have no justification for that!........But please”“Rules are rules……..Please, I can explain

“What?!”The wind stopped blowing in their direction as the atmosphere around them became dead silent for a moment.With a confused look on his face, Richard slowly walked up to where Christopher stood “Christopher , do you realise what you’re saying?!”“Yes Richard, weren’t you informed earlier on about the anticipated arrival of your boss this morning?”“No way…….”“The Heir of The Chin Chain Consortium……..Is really you?!”“Correct!”Richard’s mind travelled back to the time when Christopher’s name was announced on the night of that business meeting party as the new Heir to the one and only Chin Chain Consortium.The biggest and the best within and beyond the fore walls of Midland City.Was it actually true?“But…..But I thought it was all a lie…….”“A well scripted scheme……”“How did all this happen?…..When?”Upon the shocking realisation he had just met, Richard became even more and more confused by the minute.All of this seemed so unbelievable to him but the truth was in plain s

“Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher ”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher ! Christopher !”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher .Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to you.”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I ev

CHAPTER 116Christopher was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Mary must have brought her terrible traumas."I just need big information regarding her whereabouts. I need to understand that she is okay." Christopher lied through his teeth. He noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to his side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Mary was a crazy girl. When we discovered an anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." Christopher froze for a second. All thoughts about Mary flying through the course of his head.It was no wonder she acted strange. He thought to himself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" Christopher asked, and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out, looked through the contact, and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed this, and Christopher copied the contact information o

CHAPTER 117Christopher couldn't take any of what the therapist was saying to him any longer. He wanted to be away from that place; he needed to reach out to his wife. "I will, uh, I will be on my way." He announced, got up, and left the room, even as the therapist wished to explain something to him.As he pulled into his car, he tried ringing Mia's line, but it wasn't going through, and the moment he turned on the ignition of his car, he heard a beep on the phone and checked through. He gasped the moment he noticed Mia on the bed, all asleep.It wasn't something bad, but the reality that it was an anonymous individual who had taken that photo horrified him. There was only one person who could pull such a thing, and that was Mary.Christopher drove through the road like a raging bull. If anything happened to Mia, he was willing to find Mary and kill her. When he arrived at his apartment, Christopher got out of the vehicle and rushed to the house, yelling out Mia's name. The moment h

Meanwhile, at the company, Mia was simmering as she flipped through the pages of one of the stockpile of documents waiting to be reviewed before the next one. That was why she was scared, instead of being happy. When she has been promoted by her boss to be his secretary. She had experienced a mild sense of grief with it because, it felt like she had been trapped before she could tell her boss how she felt. He was a workaholic who didn't give a hoot about his employees, well, unless they broke down due to stress.“God, for how long will I keep doing this?” She cried out in frustration.That was why she flared up as she gazed vacantly across the room, the file she was carrying suspended on the air. She knew that she was slowly approaching breaking point.An approaching footsteps drew her back to reality. She hastened what she was doing, knowing that she would be in for serious trouble if he caught her not doing anything. At some point she was able to drift along and rest, but that was

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
