Agatha Christie Seven Dials Novels & Stories

Seven did not answer. “You kissed under the moon. Waxing. Full. Waning.” Suddenly, Seven gasps. Her grip on my hand tightens. “I see blood being spilled. Help them. A betrayal. Trust no one. An enemy must be defeated. I see death.” Seven slumps forward onto the table. She appears to have lost consciousness. I attempt to rouse her. “Seven? Wake up.” What the hell just happened? Seven groans and stirs. When she opens her eyes, they have returned to normal.

Diane crossing her arm looking at Nick with death stare and suspicion, Nick who looks at her gulping in second his eyes begs to her as he purse his lips, taking a breath Diane rolled her eyes, tilted her head back slightly to look focus at Gavin. Gavin was sitting back in front of Diane, took something from his pocket suit and placed it on the table in front of Diane. Diane noticed it was ‘a watches ? a …’ and her blood ran cold as she sensed a deep foreboding. She tensed herself as she looks at Gavin and Nick with confusion, she want to open her mouth when Gavin already speaks

Daniel was right when he said you still give the best for me even if it means until your last breath. As my eyes remained staring at the paper I am holding, a sudden familiar melody started to play from the background. Since the dvd player was just infront of me, it was easy for me to look up on it. There, a very familiar song started to play. It was the song called "Dancing With Your Ghost". Just perfect for someone who is reminiscing. The playlist is starting from the beginning again probably because it already ended. I wonder how many times had this been repeating since it only contains seven songs that seems to only last for thirty minutes or more, but less than an hour.

After a breath, Xander opened the file again. He scanned swiftly—logo, dates, admission details, injuries, notes. Then… the last page. His eyes froze. And he let out a soft, disbelieving, irritated, angry laugh. There it was. The name printed boldly at the bottom. “Dr. Damian Ratford.” ******* Tatiana’s car rolled through the iron gates of the mansion in silence. The guards opened them quickly, too quickly, as if they sensed something fragile had entered with her. The tires crunched softly against the gravel driveway, the sound too loud in her ears. When the car stopped, she didn’t move right away.

Bryan’s gaze swept over my body with a bone-chilling coldness. “We haven’t met in so long. Aren’t you… going to say hello?” I looked at him, and my lips parted slightly. A thousand words gathered on my tongue, yet what came out was something else. “Bryan, please lend me another $300,000.” Bryan was stunned for a moment. A hint of anger lit up his cold eyes. He grabbed my hand. “We haven’t met for seven years, and this is all you have to say to me?”

​New York. Xavier's Penthouse. Thursday. 11:47 AM ​Xavier was already deep into a call with Nadia before Scarlett had even finished her second round of logistics. The penthouse had shifted from a residence into a tactical assembly floor. Margot had somehow manifested a fourth monitor—a tablet propped precariously against the backsplash—running the Apex-7 documentation in a scrolling waterfall of data that sat parallel to the seventeen-name verification and the grand jury procedural requirements she’d been researching for the last hour in a silent, caffeinated fury.

Through tears, she said, "Ash, if I had not gotten so close to Rowan back then, would this happiness have been mine? We would have had a lovely baby too..." "Nina." I interrupted her, looking at the lisianthus in her hands. "There are no ifs in this world. And I do not like lisianthus. I only like mermaid roses." Nina looked utterly shattered. In the end, she gave a silent smile, set the things down, and left. Before she went, she told me that Rowan had been arrested for suspected theft. During police questioning, they discovered that he knew the driver who had hit me. Digging deeper revealed that my accident had not been an accident at all; it had been planned.

The black box sat under the dim halogen bulb, its cold, matte surface catching the light. Niccolò flipped the box over, sliding the steel cover plate on the bottom to reveal the tiny, dual-combination dials. "Eight-four-one-nine," Niccolò muttered, his fingers moving with absolute, surgical precision as he dialed the first sequence into the left cylinder. The metal clicked softly with each turn, a light, precise sound that felt incredibly loud in the quiet workshop. He paused, looking at me. "Lena. Dial the second one. Three-six-seven-two."

"Come here. These are the remaining communication talismans. You're going to help me sell them, and remember to transfer the payment to the Third Elder at the end." Ophelia gave no room for argument as she pressed Thornton, who was trying to sneak away to do something nefarious, into the seat to replace her in selling communication talismans and collecting payments. Thornton counted them. There were roughly over a thousand communication talismans left. How many days would it take him to sell all of these?

*** Why do we have to play seven minutes in heaven? “S-sir…please, at least not at work…” H simply chuckled and continued pressing kisses on my neck, currently choosing to play this game with his phone timer instead of eating the food he ordered me to buy earlier. “Didn’t you remember the rule?” he whispered; his voice so close to my ear that it made me shiver as I settled on his lap with his hands on my hip and back. “I-I remember…” “Say it.” He commanded, nibbling on my skin which made me gasp.
