Chapter 246 Ask

"Now that we are talking, may I ask how is your acting level?"

"Believe me Ms. Sophie, acting for me won't be a problem."

"Sounds like you have practice."

"I'll give you a satisfying job."

"That's the attitude."

"That'll be all for now, let me know when the contract is ready to send my lawyers."

"I'll text you at this number, see you soon."

"See you later" Hanging up the call, Christian smiled slightly and leaned back on the sofa "A million dollars is not much... in a month I can make hundreds of millions if I put my mind to it... but it's a good experience to do this, it sounds fun"

"..." Looking out the window, Christian watched the sunrise and thought for a few seconds, then sighed and muttered "I'm 19 now... couldn't celebrate properly and had to deny my mother's request for a decent birthday... I was leaving the island after all... how time flies."

Getting up from the couch, Christian slowly walks to the window and looks out at the big city in front of him "From being a poor kid to having the power to kill anyone I want... there is no sin I haven't committed and I have already killed all kinds of people.... children, women, old people, men... maybe I even killed babies I just didn't realize it... I'm no better than these beasts I'm going to kill... I destroy families, I use influence for advantage, I amass an aberrant amount of money... all for what?"

"Honey, are you awake yet?"

"Dad..."

"..." Stopping his whispers, Christian turns around and sees Elisa coming out with Helen in her arms, while the little girl stretches her arms towards him with her tender face.

"I remembered..." Noticing the smile on Elisa's face, Christian smiled slightly and murmured inaudibly "Protecting these smiles... this time I will be able to protect them... I will protect what I couldn't before.... Ashley"

...

5 days later.

Looking at the multiple scenographies in front of him, Christian nodded with satisfaction and looked at one in particular.

"It's exactly the same as my cell, they did an incredible job" Turning his gaze to the director of this clip, Christian spoke with a smile.

"We were guided by your requests and searched the public images of the cells on the internet, it wasn't very difficult" Turning her gaze towards the large amount of people in a corner, the woman points with her finger and speaks "There is your double, it was difficult to find a child with similar characteristics to yours, but we achieved at least a small resemblance and now they are arranging his features".

Turning his gaze towards the group, Christian narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze on the boy of about 12 years old sitting with a calm face "He has experience."

"His mother is a famous actress, she is preparing him" Turning her gaze, the woman points to a woman in her 60's with a serious face and a somewhat muscular body "She is a boxing trainer, she will be in charge of delivering the blows that you and your double must receive"

"How will you do everything?"

"We will change focus every time the punch is thrown and she will change to a closer image where you bend your head for the force, this way the punch is interpreted without having to suffer it."

"..." Looking at the woman in the distance, Christian spoke "Let her hit me, it will be more real."

"W-what?"

"Let her hit me with her real strength, I don't want double takes, if blood comes out it's better" Smiling slightly, Christian patted the man and the woman his side and smiled "Don't worry about the wounds, I was in the army and one hit is nothing to me"

"W-well... if you say so, so be it."

"I'll go see my double" Walking towards the boy, Christian arrives in front of him and smiles "Hi little guy, may I know your name?"

"Guz!" Gaining a twinkle in his eye, the boy looks up and watches Christian with some nervousness.

"Guz, that's a peculiar name, I like it" Crouching down in front of him, Christian smiles softly and speaks "Are you ready to do that?"

"Y-yes, I practiced a lot!"

"I'm glad, it will be a pleasure to work with you" Stretching out his hand, Christian replied.

"P-pleasure is mine sir!"

Noticing the innocence and nervousness in the boy's eyes, Christian smiled more softly and reached into his pocket, then pulled out a business card and handed it to him.

"If you ever need my help, call me, no matter what it's for."

"Th-thank you sir, I'll keep it forever!" Quickly taking the card, the boy nodded quickly.

"Okay, finish up here so we can get started" Getting up, Christian walks to the stage and starts talking to the director about what all the set design will look like, then spends the rest of the day shooting just a video clip.

*Pa* *Pa* *Pa* *Pa*

Taking blow after blow to his face, Christian stood up and threw it back at the woman in front of him.

*Pa*

"Cut!"

"*Sigh*" Holding his hand to his nose, Christian wipes the blood towards the woman and smiles "You've got a heavy fist."

With blood coming out of her mouth, the woman laughs lightly and rubs her chin "You're not bad yourself, I felt my brain rattle with a pure punch."

"Boss, let me clean you up" Quickly surrounding Christina, a group of women began to clean up the blood and place ointments on the bruised parts, so as to avoid swelling or bruising.

Smiling with satisfaction at the recorded image, the director of the shoot looked at Christian and murmured, "Sophie told me to study your acting... I must say it's not bad at all, and this professionalism in wanting the punches to be real is something uncommon in this... no doubt it would make good shots of fights in Vikings, it wasn't a bad choice."

*Pa*

"Let's get on with it, we still have a lot of filming to do!" Nodding, the woman clapped loudly and shouted, causing everyone to continue with their work.

Wednesday, July 10, 2019. (5 days later)

Looking out over the city from the balcony of the top floor of the building, Christian looks at the young woman beside him and smiled "It's nice weather"

"Yeah..." Smiling slightly, Emily leaned on the railing and spoke "How many years since we've known each other?"

"10 years approximately"

"That's a long time"

"Who knew that girl who mistook me for a ghost would become my friend?"

"What? You're not a ghost!?"

Laughing lightly, Christian replied "I revived with sacrifices."

"*Sigh* I liked you better when you were a ghost."

"And I liked you better when you didn't know anything about the world."

"I swear I thought potato was a number..." Blushing slightly, Emily muttered.

"What?! It's not!?"

Rolling her eyes, Emily turned her gaze to Christian and smiled softly.

"Emily..."

"Yes?"

"I think out of all the people, you and Leslie know the most about me..."

"..."

"You think I don't know you've been spying on me since I was a kid?"

"..."

Turning his gaze to the woman turning pale beside him, Christian chuckled with amusement "At first I may not have noticed it, but I learned a lot from my father and I could notice certain behaviors... I know you spy on me in everything."

"C-chirstian I-"

"Shhhh~" Covering Emily's mouth with his finger, Christian caressed the young woman's cheek and whispered "You don't have to explain yourself, because if it kept happening, it's because I allowed it."

"..." Biting her lips, Emily lowered her head as her body trembled slightly.

Moving closer to the young woman, Christian takes her chin gently and forces her to look up, gazing into each other's eyes "What do you think of everything you saw?"

"I... I will support you in anything... no matter what you say you do or who you are with... just let me be by your side."

Looking at the young woman's self-conscious face, Christian sighed and stroked her cheek "Why?"

"Because what?"

"Because me?" Looking at the young woman with a complicated face, Christian continued "I am a man full of flaws, you know I have relationships with several women and my life is destined to be full of dangers."

"..."

"As for you" Looking at Emily's face gently, Christian continued "You are a brilliant, intelligent and beautiful woman...you can have any man you want and money is not lacking...I'm sure you could do much more with your life than just follow me"

"..." Looking into Christian's eyes for a few seconds, Emily smiled softly and reached out her hand, then caressed Christian's face and whispered "When my life was meaningless, when everyone made fun of me, when my father did nothing but insult and despise me... you were the only one who was there for me.... it wasn't my mother, it wasn't some teacher or someone else.... it was you."

"..."

"You taught me about life, you dedicated your precious time to teach me every single thing I didn't know... I didn't even realize it and the only thing that motivated me to go to school, was you..... Don't you realize that?" With misty eyes and a slightly flushed face, Emily whispered "You rescued me from my loneliness... you became my only thought and my motive to overcome.... Everything I did in my life, was so I could accompany you and be with you."

"I don't care about starting something myself or looking for other men like you ask me to do...I don't care how much money I have or how much I can accomplish being alone...I just want to be with the man who saw me as someone important...I want to be with you Christian" Gently biting the edges of her lips, Emily continued "I don't care if we don't spend time together let alone if you are dedicated to your goals...just being by your side and seeing you comforts me... I just want to be your good girl"

"..." Staring at the young woman in front of him in silence for a few seconds, Christian finally sighed and a bittersweet smile formed on his face "I don't know what I did to have such amazing people in my life..."

"It's just you..." Resting her head on Christian's chest, Emily murmured.

"And Plague thinks so too~?"

"She was already thinking about kidnapping you..."

Laughing lightly, Christian stroked the young girl's hair and whispered "In 3 months I'm going to Ireland to film a series, would you like to go with me?"

"Really?" Looking up, Emily asked excitedly "Can I come with you?"

"Of course you can"

"Obviously I accept!"

"Perfect~" Caressing Emily's face with his knuckles, Christian glanced sideways at his floor and seeing no one, smiled.

Staring at Emily's full lips, Christian licked his lips and slowly lowered his face, causing both lips to touch each other as his tongue entered his friend's mouth without hesitation.

"..." Hugging Christian's back, Emily practically melted into his arms as she tried to keep up in their first kiss.

"Delicious~" Parting their lips, Christian breaks the bridge of saliva with his tongue and smiles with amusement at the sight of Emily's misty eyes "Was it too much for you~?"

"N-not at all" Dodging her gaze with a flushed face, Emily whispers shyly, then suddenly looks at Christian and widens her smile "I want too!"

"Gladly" Chuckling slightly at the change in personality, Christian cupped Plague's chin and gave him a long kiss, while Plague flicked his tongue much more aggressively than Emily.

Parting her lips, Plague licks her lips and smiles "That was awesome!"

*Pa*

"It certainly was" Chuckling softly, Christian patted Emily's butt and walked inside "Let's eat."

Regaining her shyness, Emily nodded and followed Christian with her face flushed.

...

Friday, July 12, 2019.

Looking at the school in front of him, Christian smiled slightly and opened the window of his Lamborghini.

After finishing shooting a few more video clips, Christian took an early morning flight and came to Detroit alone, then took a shower at the mansion and left with his vehicle for Hailie's school.
