During the day, Blair spent her time in the house. Either by watching television, listening to music, or making food that she hasn't made in a long time.Blair has been used to being independent since childhood. Her mother spends her time working. The woman left early in the morning and came back near midnight. Because of this, Blair had to make her own breakfast and dinner most days.Initially, it was difficult for her, but experience and time gave Blair everything. This time she really put it to good use. All cooking utensils and ingredients are available at Axel's house. Blair is free to explore and do things that she likes, which, as long as she is homeless, she cannot do.After doing everything she wanted to do, Blair was starting to get bored. She felt bored and seemed trapped in that luxurious apartment. The only sight she could see was staring at New York City through the balcony."How much longer does Axel have to go?" Blair took a deep breath. "Why do I keep thinking about i
Blair sat in a cafe. She chose a spot close to a window. Passing through the streets of New York City is never quiet. But, the atmosphere of the cafe is so calm. Coupled with yellow fluorescent lighting, it warms the atmosphere even more. The sound from the music box on one side played slowly.Blair tried to sit comfortably and leaned back in her chair. She rested one foot on top of the other. Both hands are on the table. Blair tried to show and convey the impression that she was not intimidated by the beautiful woman sitting across from her.The blonde woman who had previously come to Axel's apartment and handed Blair a business card was sitting in front of Blair. She is probably in his late 20s. She is a career woman who already holds the world in her hands; you can see it in her looks and acts. The woman sat confidently as she fiddled with the wine glass in hand."I didn't think you'd contact me so soon," the woman said. She moistened her red lips with wine. "Oh, I should formally
Axel sat at the very center of the oval-shaped table. In total, there are about 20 chairs around the table. Almost all the seats were filled except for a few who could not attend the emergency meeting.The meeting room was filled with tension. The members' faces were cold, with disappointment in their chests. Some even sat down indifferently as if it was a protest at their annoyance towards Axel."Without reducing my respect for you, Mr. Axel. You are completely incompetent to lead and manage this company," complained a man with a bushy beard and glasses on the bridge of his nose."Does that mean you're saying my dad was wrong to have left this company to me?" Axel hissed."Yeah, right." A woman answered Axel's question curtly. "You have caused too many scandals, Master Axel. Your arrogant attitude has worsened the sales value of our company's shares."Axel grinned."The media is busy reporting about your hobby that likes to change partners. They even give you the title "Billionaire M
Blair moaned louder on purpose to get Axel's attention. Finally, Axel's angry gaze on Clarissa was diverted. "You must be in a lot of pain. We have to go to the hospital right now!" Axel said with a panicked face. All the warriors who served as Axel's bodyguards and had secured the cafe area cleared the way for Axel and Blair. Axel immediately grabbed Blair's shoulder after wrapping the girl's bloody palm with a handkerchief. "Should I carry you?" Axel looked panicked and confused. Blair felt awkward and uncomfortable. Several times she glanced at Clarissa. Blair decided to back off and keep her distance from Axel. "I'm fine! It's just a small scratch. I can handle it myself. I can explain this situation to you and Clarissa..." Blair is panic-stricken. She was worried that Axel and Clarissa's relationship would deteriorate because of her. "What joke are you playing?" Axel looked disappointed. "Let's get out of here quickly." Axel took Blair out of the cafe and left Clarissa just
Blair was awoken by the first snowfall of the year, where she blinked and glanced at the open window. The sky is gray."Oh, no!" screamed Blair suddenly, sitting up straight in her bed. "Snow? Is it snow?"Her hair was messy, and her face was crumpled from having just woken up."Winter came sooner than I expected," Blair muttered. "What about this baby and me?" Blair felt her belly and greeted the baby gently. "We have to find a shelter, don't we?"Blair took a deep breath and let it out slowly."Shelter?" repeated Blair.Blair glanced at the interior of the room she was now in. The nuanced pastel room warmed her heart. Blair also felt the warm blanket that was still covering her body."How could I forget? I don't need shelter anymore now. Axel Barney has provided a comfortable and warm home for me."Blair should be happy, but she is still uneasy about the fate of her pregnancy."Over the next few months, I'll feel safer because I have shelter and live from the snow. However, my belly
Axel sat on the edge of the bed, holding Blair's hand and checking her pulse. The man glared at Blair."Are you?""What the hell!" thought Blair. "He must know my secret." Blair closed her eyes and hid her face from Axel."Are you kidding me?" Axel inquired. "You want to play with me? So this is what you have been hiding from me all this time?" Axel's voice rose.Blair was terrified and still had her eyes closed. Slowly she peeked while saying sorry very softly, barely audible to Axel."Forgive me.""Sorry? Is that all you can do?""Then what else can I do? I shouldn't even apologize. Because there's nothing wrong with what I've been doing to myself. I'm just trying to survive.""You trying to hold on? By fooling me like this? All right, you will get the answer. Remember, nothing is free in this world.Blair opened her eyes wide and glared at Axel. She panicked, too scared."What are you going to do to me?" Blair asked, wrapping her arms around her stomach to protect herself. "Do not
Blair walked quickly away from the woman she had just accidentally bumped into. Blair found a quiet place out of sight of people to calm down.While running, Blair's eye caught the movement of Carlos and Marco, secretly watching her while pretending to shop at one of the distros. When the two bodyguards were unconscious, Blair quickly slipped away and blended in with the other shoppers.She reached the farthest elevator and punched all the numbers as long as it took her as far as possible from the woman she had previously bumped into."Why is she here? Of all the people, why did I have to meet her here? She can't see me."In the elevator Blair is alone. She stood long enough for the elevator door to open and arrived at a deserted floor. Blair realized that she had reached the top floor of the mall building. After getting out of the elevator, there was nothing but the fire escape that led to the rooftop.Blair looked around to make sure no one was following her. She was relieved to be
Axel sat on one of the restaurant benches without noticing his phone. He repeatedly called Blair, but the girl did not immediately answer his calls. It was evident that Axel was starting to worry.Axel stood up while packing his things. Just as he turned around, Blair was standing behind him with a pale face and gasping for breath."You make me angry!" Axel hissed. "I told you to...""Sorry!" Blair cut Axel off quickly.She said it in a broken voice, and her breath was still laboured."I've tried my best. I even ran fast to come here immediately."Axel clenched his fists and swung into the empty air. "You ignore my calls! I told you to…."Before Axel finished speaking, Blair took several steps while holding out the cell phone Axel had previously given her. Blair shoved the phone roughly against Axel's chest."Hey, what's wrong with you?" Axel was confused as he took the phone and checked it. "You… gosh..."And again, Axel had yet to finish expressing his frustration. Marco and Carlos
