"What nonsense are you spouting?" Luna shouted at Morris, stepping protectively in front of Christian trying to shield him from Morris's words. "Why would Chris be the cause of his mother's death? You're just saying nonsense! Shut up and get lost!"

Morris laughed darkly and almost like mocking.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth where Christian’s punch had landed earlier, his eyes filled with nothing but cruel amusement as if he was enjoying the current situation.

"Nonsense?" He tilted his head. "Oh, Luna, I don’t speak nonsense, I only speak the truth, don't you also want to know that truth?"

His gaze went back to Christian, his smirk widening as if he waited for this opportunity so long. "Shall I tell you how your dear Chris led his own mother to her death?"

"No, we don’t need to know," Luna snapped, with a firm voice and grabbed Christian’s hand and tried to pull him away. "Let’s go Chris, you don't have to listen to his nonsense."

But Christian didn’t move.

    "No... No," Christian’s head pounded as Morris’s words echoed in his mind."You ignored her call, you let her die thinking her own son had abandoned her."His breathing turned heavy, hands clenching into fists as guilt wrapped around his throat suffocating him.His vision blurred, but whether from rage or grief, he couldn’t tell."You played a major role in her death." "Shut up!" Luna’s furious voice filled in the air as she stepped in front of Christians shielding him from everything.Her usual warmth in eyes was replaced with unfiltered rage. "You have no right to say these things, you treated aunt Mary horribly! You never even looked for her when she disappeared! If anyone is responsible for suffering, it's you, Chris was so young and didn't mean any harm at that time, you can't blame him for your shortcomings as a husband, you're the reason for everything...." She didn't waste a second before accusing him.Morris merely chuckled, and shifted his concentration to Christian once a

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   CAN YOU JUST LISTEN ONLY TO YOUR HEART?

    "Chris... Chris," Luna looked worried about Christian as he was wriggling and crying in his sleep, she gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Relax, Chris, what's happening? Can you open your eyes please?" Christian who was struck in his own nightmare, but suddenly he felt a light within the darkness, a hand holding him tight enough to pull him out of that darkness.He shot up from the bed with a loud gasp.His chest rising and falling, sweat drenched his body, and his heartbeat slammed against his ribs, while his vision was blurry with tears.The only thing that he was able to hear was Luna's gentle and soothing voice, "Chris, is everything okay? Why are you scared like this? Is it a nightmare?" "Mom hates me…" His voice was a whisper, but the pain in it was crushing his heart with guilt. "I'm the reason why she was dead, it's all because of me...." Luna, who had been sitting beside him, immediately reached out.Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   NOT JUST AS AN AUNT, BUT AS A MOTHER.

    "What if my heart also blames me?" Christian asked with a painful voice, Luna smiled at his words, "Then listen to my heart." Raising his head, he looked at her with an innocent face, Luna ruffled his heart, "So what if your heart blames you? My heart doesn't right? Then listen to mine, your heart is still young and ignorant doesn't know what is right and what is wrong." "Like you're an old granny?" Christian sneered, "You're of equal age as mine in fact younger than me," Luna rolled her eyes, "But my heart is mature, unlike yours." Christian shook his head in disbelief that he is arguing with a crazy girl, Luna grinned, "Chris, my mom once said, last cannot be changed, future cannot be predicted, but present can be controlled by us, let the past go, forget about the future, live the fullest in present because you deserves it." "I deserve it?" He asked as if he is questioning her, Luna nodded, "Yes, you deserve nothing but love and happiness, I'm always worried about you not recei

    "Chris, are you going to wake up or not?" A loud voice echoed in Christian's head, jolting him awake by force.His heart pounded as he sat up in the middle of the sleep checking around the dimly lit room. His vision was slightly blurry as he is still feeling sleepy, but the loud voice was too hard to ignore."Finally awake, huh? Took you long enough, I thought you'll not be waking up today." Christian groaned, rubbing his temples. "Ezra? Are you the one who is shouting till my ears bleed?" "Who elae? Did you forget what today is? Huh? Last night I repeatedly told you today is very important, and yet you're sleeping like a piglet without any responsibility." A minute of silence passed before realization struck him. The lessons.Christian had completely forgotten that today was the beginning of his training, his first step toward understanding the strange power within him.After that birthday incident, for two weeks Lord Sargent strictly not allowed to let Christian go out, from th

    "Adams group of companies looking for a new Chairman to take responsibilities of the company." The headlines brought one of the most excitement filled smiles on his face, especially the video where Morris was beaten with rotten tomatoes and eggs while people mocking and insulting him for embezzlement of company funds, people arrested him."Die bastard!""You embezzleed company's funds, sick rogue!" "He is a monster!" "An abuser and a thief!" Watching him walking with head lowered and handcuffs, Christian smirked inwardly, "The years of pride, feeling of untouchable power, everything is gone now, I want to see how you'll in the very same society here after Morris, you once called me a disgraceful mark in your life, now I showed you the real deal!" Christian knew Morris valued his pride above everything else, and now Christian aimed to destroy it, to bring the shame on Morris's name more and more.Being determined Christian scrolled for more updates.While news about Morris was eve

    "Gold digger?" Luna frowned and turned around to see Mia walking to them with a proud face, Christian clenched his fist in anger.Her expression was unreadable as she approached them, "Chris, girls like her hang out with rich heirs only for profits, you shouldn't fall for those tricks." "You're right, I shouldn't fall for those tricks," Christian sneered, "But I love falling for her tricks." Luna giggled, Mia pointed at Luna with a frown, "So, you're okay with even spending your money on her?" Taking out the platinum card from his pocket, Christian said, "Yes, since I've a lot of money, I can use it on anyone.""Platinum card?" Luna asked with a curious face, Christian nodded his head, "I got this as a gift from my aunt." Luna blinked her eyes giving those puppy eyes look, "Aww, can I hold it once?" "Here," Christian gave it to her, Luna took it with utmost care and being excited as if she was going to float in the air out of that excitement."Ahhh... I'm holding it... I'm holdin

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   THE THRONE WON'T WAIT FOREVER

    "I'm coming," Luna grinned and glanced at Mia with a disdain filled face, "People often look down on a diamond when they don't know it's worth, you're the same, you never knew the worth of Chris, so you looked down on him, even when you figure out his worth, you're still foolish and not ready to accept the truth, believing a pebble to be a diamond while tossing away the real diamond which was with you all the time, maybe I would never see a fool like you anywhere." Mia clenched her fist, "How dare you talk to me like this?" "I dare," Luna said with a serious tone, "Next time I won't just stop with speaking, if you come to mess with Chris, you never wanted him, and I always wanted him, now that he is mine, I'll never allow anyone to take him away from me." Snapping her fingers in front of Mia's face, Luna smirked, "You and I are different, you love scrap while I love treasure, the man I chose is a real treasure, so don't try to covet him, you don't deserve him, ahh...

    "Luna," Christian glanced at her with an amusement filled eyes, and voice, "You know what, only you can speak these kind of things." Luna crossed her arms, "Because I'm brilliant, do you even know the amount of popularity I've because of my brilliance?" "Popularity?" Christian chuckled, "What kind of popularity you've with your brilliance?" Luna with a proud smile, blinked at Christian, "I'm so... So brilliant, which is already making me scared that I might get kidnapped one day because of my brilliance since these days people are born without brains, while I've high IQ." "Are you for real?" Christian asked controlling his laughter, Luna nodded her head immediately, "Ofcourse I'm for real, I know me and my brilliance are out of this planet, but I'm real, just because of my brilliance you can't call me an alien." Christian nodded as if he was agreeing with her, "Yes, you are not an alien," Luna smirked thinking Christian joining her, but he has other plans of roasting her, "At lea

  • I KNOW WHERE IT IS

    "Please wake up," Christian pleaded, holding the woman’s bloodied form in his arms, while is voice cracked with deep fear and anxiety. "You can't die, I can't watch you die...." Charles slowly knelt beside him, hand resting on her neck for a moment to check her pulse. Once he is done with checking her pulse, his expression turned grave."She’s gone, Chris."The words hit like a cold splash, Christian stiffened, staring down at her pale, and peaceful face. Her last words are still repeated in his mind, "Marie is alive." "No... she can't be..." He tightened his hold on her as if he could force life back into her broken body, "I didn't even express my gratitude for what she has done to me, yet she is dead, why? Why does she have to die?" Liliana crouched beside him, her eyes glassy with emotion as she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Chrissy," she whispered gently, "it's quite saddening to see her dying, but you should be happy too, because she brought you something precious..

  • MARIE IS ALIVE

    "Am I really unfit to pass through that door?" "What does that voice meant by I'm a mixed blood?""Can't I be a part of Solaris?" Christian sat at the edge of the balcony, arms resting on the cold iron railing as his eyes looked at the blank sky.The morning sun was barely rising, casting a soft golden glow across the estate grounds. But his thoughts were elsewhere, still circling the words that had shattered him and his heart."A mixed blood like you can’t enter."That phrase haunted him, it had broken something inside him, and awakened something too.He clenched the torn edge of his sleeve, fingers curling as if grasping for answers that refused to come. "What did it mean?" "Who am I, really?" His mother, Marie, had been a mystery all his life, a woman who smiled softly but never spoke of her past, whose eyes always seemed to look far beyond him, like she was hiding worlds he would never understand.Now, Christian needed to know those worlds. Every secret.... Every truth....

  • WHO AM I REALLY?

    "Second trial?" Christian stood with renewed confidence after shattering the illusions of the first trial. His legs were still unsteady, but his spirit sparkled brighter than ever. He could feel it, the determined fire inside him, finally no longer flickering in doubt.Liliana helped him steady himself with a gentle hand on his arm, her eyes glittering with pride and lingering worry."You good?" She asked quietly, "Is everything okay? You're not injured anywhere, are you?" Christian nodded, brushing dust from his pants. "I think I'm okay aunt." She fussed over his dusty hair. "Ugh, look at you completely messy!""It's okay, aunt," he smiled at her as she is wiping off dust from his face.Charles didn’t say anything but gave him a short nod of acknowledgment. Lord Sargent, as always, was composed, but Christian saw something shift in his eyes, pride.Then, with no warning, the chamber changed once again keeping all of them anxious for a couple of minutes.The golden veins in the w

  • I'M A TRUE SARGENT

    "Don't be nervous, Chrissy," Liliana tried to cheer him after looking at his pale face, Christian forced an awkward smile, "is it obvious?"Liliana nodded her head, Christian chuckled nervously, "well, I can't help..." Liliana gently rubbed Christian's back, "It's okay, everything will be fine." Soon, the golden door that had stood like a sentinel at the heart of the chamber suddenly shimmered, the constellations etched into its surface rearranging one final time before dissolving into light. In its place, something else showed up, it's an ornate mirror, tall and attractive, its frame of obsidian entwined with delicate golden vines that pulsed faintly, like veins carrying some ancient energy giving familiar vibes with an earlier golden door.The chamber fell quite all of a sudden sending nervous shivers in everyone's spine.Even the golden veins on the walls dimmed slightly, as if holding their breath.Christian stared at the mirror, and his heart pounded so hard that it's almost a

  • I'M READY!

    "You might also become a Guardian of Solaris just like your mother," Lord Sargent said with a gentle smile looking at Christian who is a spitting image of his daughter.Christian turned to him, confusion clouding his features. "Guardians? What does that mean? What's the role of a Guardian?" Liliana and Charles exchanged an unreadable glance before Lord Sargent continued."Protectors, Guardians are protectors of this place Chris, your mother was one of the few who had access to the realm of Solaris, since it's not a place for everyone and a place only the awakened can reach." The word ‘awakened’ stirred something deep inside Christian as he remembered Ezra's words.The strange energy he had felt within himself for weeks-the inexplicable strength, the heightened senses, the nightmares that felt like memories-everything suddenly seemed connected."Why didn't anyone tell me before about this?" He asked, his voice low but edged with something sharp more than curiosity, "No matter how man

  • SHOULD I ACCEPT THIS AS MY FATE?

    "Solaris?" the weight of that name is heavy, it rang familiar in his ears, stirring something deep within Christian.Like a whisper at the edge of his mind, something he should remember but couldn't quite grasp."Isn't it a place I asked you before, Grandpa?" He asked with a confused face, not understanding why his grandfather brought up that name now, when previously he didn't say anything no matter how much he insisted on knowing about that place."Yes," Lord Sargent nodded. "It is the birthplace of everything. Our bloodline, our legacy... our power."Christian's brows furrowed. "You're saying this isn't just a rich family with a long history?"Liliana chuckled softly. "Chrissy, the Sargents aren't just wealthy, we are one of the oldest and most powerful bloodlines in existence.""Powerful how? Superpowers?" Christian asked, crossing his arms.Lord Sargent gestured towards the strange objects around them. "Yes, the powers which normal people feel difficult to understand but too norm

  • YOU MUST FIRST KNOW ABOUT OUR ORIGIN

    "Prepared for what?" Christian looked kind of confused, "Are we going to do something or what?" Lord Sargent said with a soft voice, "Let's go, if not we will be late." "Huh? Go where grandpa?" Despite Christian's confusion, none explained anything to him, they're on their way already, he is just following behind them like a puppy who is afraid of getting lost.They're not getting into cars or anything else, just on their feet walking right within the estate keeping him clueless making it hard to figure out, the Sargent estate was vast-too vast for Christian to have explored all of it yet. Even after many weeks of staying there, the place still held so many unfamiliar corners, rooms that seemed untouched, and corridors that whispered of history far older than he could understand.But nothing could have prepared him for what was about to happen that evening.Lord Sargent had told him very little, just giving small clarification about going somewhere, but the way he said it made it

  • IT'S TIME

    "Do you want me to take care of it?" Charles raised an eyebrow, Christian shook his head, "Let's not do that uncle, it's okay even if they didn't learn anything, they lost a lot, I can understand that from their words, no matter how angry I'm at them, still wanting to ruin them to extent of having nothing isn't acceptable, I can't be that heartless." "Are you sure?" Charles asked hoping Christian would change his decision, but Christian nodded his head confidently, "Yes, I'm sure, everyone deserves a second chance to repent for what they've done, they deserve too, it's okay if they learn, it's okay even if they don't, as long as they don't mess with me, I don't need to bother about them, let's ignore this here itself." Charles gently ruffled Christian's hair, "You're just as kind as your mother." Christian smiled at him, and as they got into car, Charles started the engine, while Christian asked, "That manager and this restaurant, both not normal right?" "What made you feel that?"

  • DO YOU REALLY THINK WE DESERVED ALL OF THAT?

    "Actually," Charles began, only to be disturbed by the manager, "Mr. Charles..." Charles frowned at the manager, "I'm speaking to my nephew, can't you see that?" The manager whispered something in Charles's ear making Charles's face become pale filled with panic.Immediately getting back his composure, Charles said, "I'll be there in a minute..." As the manager left after a glance at Charles, Christian stared at Charles's face with confusion, "Is everything okay?" "Umm, I think so, but give me a moment, kid," Charles said as he stood to leave. "I need to speak with someone real quick, if you don't feel okay being here, you can wait outside for me." Christian nodded and stepped out of the restaurant. The cool night air brushed against his skin as he took a deep breath, "It's seriously suffocating inside," he glanced back at the restaurant one last time, "What a strange place, I prefer not to come here again..." Just as he took a breath in relief, his peace didn't last longer and
