Unkept Promises

⚠️This is a sequel to an ongoing book (Nicholas Vials; Unkept Promises)⚠️ Baldwin James Alburn, the only living heir to the Alburn family, is the definition of upright and moral. It's just that corruption is only a fire fueled by events that erode one's conscience. From his sacrifices for Emberline and his efforts to better the world and the duty he holds to uphold the Alburn name. But there remains a yearning for revenge. A bloodthirsty, scolding, cold desire. Nicholas Vials, on the other hand, is the definition of deceit and opportunism. His actions suggest that he doesn't plan on improving his repute. However, he has taken on a path of great peril. To take away the authority from those trying to kill him. And to find Emberline. Yet, neither Baldwin nor Nicholas wield control over their schemes. Like grains of sand in a desert, time slips through their fingers, leaving them grasping for control in a world where nothing is as it seems. Their only hope lies in uncovering the undisclosed—a secret that may hold the key to their salvation or seal their fate forever. Or perhaps it is hidden in plain sight

Nicholas had somehow managed to attend all his classes, the timing and the effort he had put in to simply sit in front of a man who practically lectured himself was commendable. He felt himself almost melt into the chair as the class ended. Benjamin by his side, he felt even more tired.

Had Henry not needed the shed for his personal use, he would have been away at the very first chance. But for now, he had only one place of stay, and he quite enjoyed the place of stay, for he was now closer to his other objective.

"How would you say your eye is feeling Ben?" Nicholas asked Benjamin, who felt the heavy scar on his head that had been bestowed upon him by Nicholas himself. Benjamin, for the first time, had been given a nickname by Nicholas, and he felt as though a flower had bloomed in his heart. He watched as he laughed sheepishly, his large teeth shone in the sunlight, almost blinding Nicholas.
