Nicholas' POV"Kill him," I said and gritted my teeth after Balthazar called me, saying he caught the gunman.I was inside the hospital room, looking after Blue who's sleeping. She fainted after she got shot and it scared the hell out of me. I don't know why I'm feeling this but seeing her bleeding after she took the bullet that was meant for me reminds me of my mother, the only woman who's willing to die to protect me.Clenching my jaws, I massaged my temple. Damn! She took a bullet for me. She's stupid! So f-cking stupid! Luckily the bullet hit only her shoulder."She's stable now, Mr. Sanford. It's not a serious wound, so there's nothing to worry about."I glared at the doctor. "How can a f-cking gunshot not be a serious wound? Huh?"His face paled. His lips parted but he couldn't answer. I was about to growl at him again when the door swung open. Atticus entered the room and the doctor quickly escaped. Tss!Atticus bowed at me. "Young master, your father is in the next room. He wa
Blue's POVI don't know what time we reached home. I don't even know how I got inside my room in his penthouse. After I heard what he said inside that room in the hospital, I felt like something inside me, particularly my heart broke. I don't understand but there's only one answer to this. I like him already. This is insane because liking him isn't part of my plan. I just have to make him fall in love with me within 100 days and make him obedient to his father. That's all. That's my job. This setup, this engagement is purely a negotiation and I hate myself for ending up liking him.After taking a quick bath, I went to the kitchen because I'm really starving. I'm expecting Nicholas in the kitchen but his assistant Balthazar is there instead.I roamed my eyes around, unconsciously looking for Nicholas."The young master left, Miss Blue."He left. I just nodded and went to the dining table. Balthazar prepared lunch for me while I was staring at nothing.I lifted my face and looked at Bal
Blue's POVI took a few steps closer slowly. My lips parted as I recognized the man on the couch. I flinched when he fell on the couch, so I rushed to him. I stopped after I saw his face. Sleepwalking.Why is he sleepwalking? Does he have a sleep disorder? Could it be because it runs in their family? I don't think the latter is the answer.I stared at his face. He wasn't sleeping peacefully. His forehead was creased and it seems like he's dreaming about something. I sat on the ottoman, watching him intently. My wound is still aching but I can now endure it. I still want to take painkillers but I couldn't leave him. I'm afraid he would do something to harm himself. I can't wake him up either since it might cause a problem.This morning, I was angry and disappointed with him, but now, seeing him defenseless and weak, I couldn't find the anger anymore."Hmm!" He groaned and his face frowned. He seems to be searching for something he couldn't find in his sleep.I quickly pulled myself up
Blue's POVI wiped the sweat off my forehead after I took my gloves off. I pushed my hands inside the pocket of my uniform and sat on the bench in the hallway. I'm still sleepy. I went to work earlier than usual because I don't know how to face Nicholas.Suddenly, I thought of what happened last night. He sleepwalked and he didn't have any idea that I saw that side of him. I'm afraid to let him know, but I'm having trouble hiding the fact that I accidentally discovered his secret. It makes me feel bad.Doctor Trevor called when another patient came. I was told to entertain the mother of the patient while the kid is taking some tests."My son is always sleepwalking. I was worried he might hurt himself so I'd always wake him up but lately, I realized waking him up might cause a problem."I nodded at the mother. "It's not that dangerous, ma'am. But experts recommend just leading a sleepwalker back to bed without waking him up."She nodded and smiled worriedly. "One time I saw him leaving
Nicholas' POVI left Blue at home after our dinner. She was actually stunned when I told her I'm going out and will be home late. I saw an objection in her eyes but I ignored it. I'm still investigating her. I need to know if she's planning something against me. I can't trust her yet, although I can see innocence in her eyes."You're snub even to your sweet fiancée," Theo said grinning.I ignored him and drank my shot. We're drinking in the private room of my bar. This is where I brought Blue when I saw her dancing with another man. I brought her here to punish her and now, I can see her in this room even when she's not physically present. I must be going nuts."She's trying to get along with you, man. Why are you resisting? It's not like you have feelings for her."My forehead creased as I looked at Theo. "What feelings are you saying? I'm just being cautious. Besides, my investigation about her is still ongoing. I just don't want to put her in a difficult situation incase she's real
Blue's POVAfter being sweet to me, Nicholas became so busy. We seldom see each other in his penthouse and I'm starting to hate what he's doing. It may sound crazy, but I think he's doing this on purpose. He's purposely making himself busy so we won't see each other often. What the heck is his problem?I frowned as I shook my head. No! I shouldn't let him affect me. Damn it, Blue! You've been saying that to yourself for the nth time.I shook my head again and wore my shoulder bag. I was about to leave when someone entered Doctor Trevor's office. He was in the comfort room, so I was left alone in his office.It's a woman wearing a scarf and shades, covering her face. She doesn't seem uncomfortable after seeing me inside Trevor's office. She even faced me."I am Dr. Dawson's special patient. He's expecting me today." Her voice was sweet and calm. It was so soothing that I smiled unknowingly.I can't see her face, but I can feel that she's gorgeous."Dr. Dawson went to the comfort room,
Blue's POVI stretched my arms while nodding at my workmates leaving. I'm taking a bus home since I can't reach Nicholas. He didn't even text if he's gonna pick me up or not. Seriously? He's confusing me. Last minute he was sweet, and then he'll turn cold and snub. I don't understand him at all. He's really moody and annoying."Blue!"I looked at the person who called me. I smiled at Trevor. "Hi."He took his car keys from his jeans and looked at me again. "You're taking a bus?"I chuckled. "Yeah. How did you know?"He roamed his eyes around. "I didn't see the familiar car picking you up."My lips protruded. He chuckled and spoke again. "I can take you home."I quickly shook my head. "No it's fine—" I was unable to finish my answer when my phone vibrated. I took it out and bit my bottom lip after seeing the caller's name."Is there a problem?" Trevor asked after he saw my expression changed.I shook my head again and smiled at him. "No. I gotta go, Trevor. Thanks for the offer."After
Blue's POVThe emotions in his dark and drunk eyes changed. He's now looking at me with nothing but desire. I wanted to escape, but my body was frozen in place. The water was cold, but I felt hot. I should stop him, but I didn't know how. I was just staring back at him until he slowly leaned closer and claimed my lips in a very slow and sensual way.Kiss. He's kissing me again. We kissed so many times already but why does it always feel like a first time?"Hmm!" I can't help but to moan between his domineering kisses. He's dominating me again. Oh, God! Why is he so good at this?He pulled my waist closer to him. He angled his face as his palm caressed my jaw.I held on to his shoulder helplessly. His kisses started going deeper. He's now hungrily kissing me. My lips parted when he suddenly moved his lower region, pushing his waist against mine.I started trembling as I bit my lips hard. His kisses are going south and now licking my collarbone."Nicholas!" I can't take it anymore. I ca
