Sir Bernard Chumley

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Aether, an individual born with a silver spoon, found himself discarded like a defective product. He had longed for love and tenderness, but what others showed him was nothing but pain.

"Can't you do a single thing!!" "..." "You are fired!!!" "....W-Wh.." "I am sorry, Sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to enter our company!!" "....I-I am..." "I am sorry, Sir, but we cannot provide a loan for your ideas without reassurance!!" "....W-Why?" "I heard your father is a politician.... So, You know...." "...." After a long struggle, he finally got a job, but his brother's words rang in his ears: "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me, of course. So, don't ever contact me or even MY parents" his brother declared. "...Heh..." Just as he believed he had earned society's recognition, an unforeseen event claimed his pathetic, seemingly worthless life.... "HONK!! HONK!!" Yet, amidst the cruelty of society, he defiantly cried, “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” Witnessing his heartfelt cry and desire to live in the hellish place called society, he was granted a second chance. ~Ding!~ However, even in this new life, his situation remained unchanged. He continued to struggle not only to live and eat but also..... seduction. "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE THE PRINCESS!!" ".....he..he... B-But I didn't seduce her!!" "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE MY MOTHER!!" "...Hehe" "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO SEDUCE MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?" "HEHEHEHEHEE....." _________________ Discord Server Link: 6JA46z23bw

If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.

Here in my life: Past year's ago Papa's death had already veiled our family in a sheet of frost and if something happened to my younger brother now,I'm afraid that I would lose the courage to live. I almost collapsed when I heard the news of Cielo's accident and my tears keeps streaming down to my cheeks seeing him lying at the hospital bed with tube's connected to his body. The situation doesn't look good and the residential doctors did all their best to save my brother from danger however there was a hemorrhage within his cranium and the location of the bleeding is extremely sensitive and only the best neurosurgeon can proceed the second operation.It also mean that his situation hadn't stabilized yet. Knowing this, I ultimately lose myself as I burst into tear's begging the doctors to save my brother's life but all of them didn't have a full confidence to perform the second operation. "You knew what to do bro." Bernard sincerely suggested while looking at Harrish who's sitting beside me. We are inside of his office and both of us seated at the black leather sofa. "I know but it's not easy." Harrish sighed while looking at me. "I can asked for help but it will take time for my uncle to do the operation because of his line up appointments." "And he is only available to his family and Xiah is not related to you,so she needed to wait." Bernard said warily. "But Cielos condition well be at risk if we will not do the operation ASAP." "I know but my uncle has his own protocols and only related to him had that privileged." Harrish said in low voice and the two gentlemen deeply sighed. "We need to make a way." Bernard said as he stood up on his chair and the both of us followed. "Please save my brother!" I say through my sob while holding on Bernard hand. "We will do our best but you need to be strong for him." Bernard gently said as he tap my hand by his "You can discuss this matter." He sighed "As for now,I have to excuse myself to check my patients." He politely added and slowly walked out the room. "Let's get married." Harrish said after some time and silence fell all over the place after I heard his word. Shocked by his words,I looked at him with a serious expression on my face. "If you want you can make a contract about the marriage." He suggested "And I will agree all your terms and conditions." Did he really mention about marriage at critical time like this?Is he serious? I smiled bitterly."Are you not done playing my heart?" I asked in a hard tone but it didn't anger him instead Harrish gently cupped my face and wipe out my tears through his thumb. "Do this for your brother." He breath out "And this way I can help you." I scoffed "Help me?" I asked in sarcasm tone but he still calm and composed. "You always knew that I can do everything for you." Harrish words is deep and hard for me to understand. I should be mad at him,curse him and shout at him but I can't. My mind don't believe on everything he says but my hear believed the opposite. Is there a hope for us after the heartbreaking happened between us? Is my heart still belong to me the way his heart belongs to me?
