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
"Are you sure you want to attend the family dinner?"Blair had just finished her final makeup, and she was about to leave the room when she heard Carlos' voice talking to Axel. The girl froze behind the slightly ajar door. She deliberately wanted to listen to the conversation between Axel and his bodyguard."I thought," thought Blair. "Those two men are not just bodyguards and bosses. They have a much closer relationship than just colleagues.""They must have prepared something more than a normal family dinner," said Carlos. "I'm never wrong about things like this. You better consider one more time before deciding to attend, Axel.""Thank you for worrying, Carlos. As you know, Celine will not stop here. The sooner it ends, the better. I'll show them who leads the game." Axel's voice was cold.Blair exhaled heavily on the other side of the door. She felt ashamed of herself for eavesdropping on their conversation. She pushed open the door with a heavy heart.Right at that moment, Axel a
"Welcome to the invitation to Barney's extended family dinner. Colleagues who are willing to come, I thank you again. Before we enjoy the main course, I would like to welcome Clarissa Jordan, the first daughter of the Jordan family."All the invited guests gave a standing ovation and applause when a beautiful woman raised her glass, smiling. Everyone knew Clarissa had just returned from overseas for their company's latest project. The Jordan family, which controls the national media, is expanding by opening television stations abroad."This dinner is also a moment to strengthen the two families in a more serious bond. Within the next month, the wedding of our eldest son, Axel Barney, and eldest daughter of Jordan family will take place soon."Celine proudly continued her speech.This time the applause sounded more lively and excited than before. Only Axel's face turned red while holding his jaws and hands clenched at his sides.Without anyone asking, Blair immediately let go of her gr
Blair ended her performance perfectly and stunningly, but she didn't realize it. When the last note of the piano key finished playing, Blair lowered her head slightly. She felt a failure and shame. The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds. It was as if all the guests present that night were bewitched by her appearance.A young man who previously kept glancing at Blair and Axel clapped his hands first and awakened the people. Then, they all joined in unison to give a standing ovation for Blair's stunning performance.Axel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even though the tension still covered his whole body. He immediately stepped forward to where Blair was standing and reached out to bring the girl back to his side.Axel looked possessive when holding Blair's hand and hugging the girl's waist. He could feel Blair's body shaking and shivering at the same time. Axel would feel crazy if he had to be faced with an unexpected situation like this. However, Axel was secretly grateful th
Blair couldn't get the words out because Axel's lips had tightly silenced the girl's lips. Blair was taken aback. However, she unknowingly also accepted the kiss. There is a demand to ask for more than comes from the bottom of her heart. In the next second, it was Blair's consciousness that took over. Spontaneously she pushed Axel's chest away, and Blair began to breathe heavily. "What are you doing?" muttered Blair with a red face and despair. She touched her lips which felt hot and throbbing. Axel's scent still lingers there. Axel withdrew. He exhaled roughly. The man tried to distract himself by adjusting his fine tie and jacket and sat up straight. The car that brought them back to the apartment was moving at a moderate speed. Suddenly Axel shouted at the driver to speed up his pace. "What do I do?" Axel whispered between his mischievous smirks. He repeated Blair's question, which was torturing him. "Of course, I'm teasing you. What else do you think? I needed a bit of solace
