Chapter 8

Snow Cloud
Blake's eyes lit up with undisguised joy.

The flowers in his hand slipped to the ground with a soft rustle. He rushed forward in a few strides and grabbed my hand, his fingers trembling.

"Claire, it's really you! You're alive! Thank God!"

His voice shook, and his eyes reddened.

"Where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you? I missed you so much. I missed you so, so much!"

I stared at the man pouring out his longing. All that I could think about

    "Forgive you?"My voice trembled, but every word came out sharp."How am I supposed to forgive you? Because of you, I nearly burned to death in that fire! I scrimped and saved, swallowed my pride, and did everything for you, but in the end, I was the only fool in this relationship!"Because of you, my mother missed her best chance of treatment, and now I'll never see her again! I never even got the chance to take care of her…"Tears spilled over as I bit down hard on my lip."Tell me. How am I supposed to forgive you?"I took a deep breath and turned away."Just go. I never want to see you again."I took Theo's arm and turned toward the exit.Behind me, Blake let out a hysterical roar. "So you won't get back together with me or forgive me because of that guy, huh?"I stopped in my tracks."Blake Grayson, what I choose has nothing to do with you. And don't try to drag him into this."Seeing me defend another man so fiercely ignited Blake's possessiveness and competitive stre

Thank God!"His voice shook, and his eyes reddened."Where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you? I missed you so much. I missed you so, so much!"I stared at the man pouring out his longing. All that I could think about was his lies, his betrayal, and Mom's death.Every bit of it led back to this man.I instinctively stepped back and wrenched my hand from his grasp."I'm sorry, Mr. Grayson, but we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Whether I'm dead or alive is none of your concern. I paused, then turned and pointed to the headstone behind me. "This is my mother's grave. I'm sure she doesn't want to see you either. So please, don't come here again."The merciless words cut into Blake's chest like

    Claire's POVWhen I woke up again, I was lying in an impossibly luxurious room. The bed under me was softer and more comfortable than anything I had ever slept in.I blinked groggily, only to find two maids standing beside my bed. Their faces lit up with joy and astonishment."Ms. Neil, you're awake! Thank goodness! I'll go tell Mr. Foster right away! You've been unconscious for several days…"The maid was so excited that her voice trembled. "Mr. Foster instructed us to take good care of you."I froze.Where was I? How did they know my last name was Neil?I had been in the car that plunged off the cliff.I rubbed my temples. My body was covered in bruises, but someone had clearly treated my injuries. My skin felt cool and refreshed.It was obvious that the owner of this house had spared no effort in ensuring my comfort.In my 20 years of life, the only place I'd seen with this level of luxury was Blake's estate. It was my first time actually being inside somewhere so extravag

    When Blake woke up again, he was in the hospital. The instant he opened his eyes, he jolted upright as if struck by lightning.With a hoarse voice, he mobilized every member of his staff. Then, he offered an astronomical reward online for information about Claire's whereabouts.He still couldn't bring himself to believe that Claire would simply be gone.However, the news he got in return was that there were signs of wild animals near the cliff where the car had crashed. Although no body had been found, it was highly likely that she had been devoured by predators.Blake refused to believe it. He offered a fortune to anyone who could provide footage of the accident.When he finally saw the video of his two bodyguards leap from the moving car, overwhelming fury consumed him. It was the two men jumping out that caused the car to lose control and plunge over the cliff!He immediately ordered his men to track down the two men responsible for escorting Claire that day.They were locate

    The moment Blake heard those words, the phone slipped from his hand. He shot to his feet as if jerked by an invisible force.His lips moved, muttering in a daze, "What? How could that be? She was perfectly fine when they took her away!"The phone lay on the ground, but the panicked voice on the other end continued."Mr. Grayson? Mr. Grayson! Ms. Neil's car went over the cliff and suffered a catastrophic crash. The two bodyguards jumped out to save themselves, but Ms. Neil was still inside. "The cliff is impossibly deep, and there's a massive fire burning below. The fire department is already conducting rescue operations, but Ms. Neil… I'm afraid her chances of survival are slim."Blake felt his heart plummet. His vision darkened, and he could hear a buzzing in his ears.Without another word, he snatched his car keys from the bedside table and bolted out of the hospital room.Just then, a hand clamped tightly around his wrist.Ivy stood there with her slightly swollen belly, te

    I turned and walked away.Blake's furious shout followed me."Why wouldn't you want to be with me? Do you have any idea how many women would kill to be in your place?"He rushed over in a few strides and grabbed my shoulders."Claire, if you stay with me, you can have everything! You'll never have to haggle over the price of vegetables or agonize over whether you can afford something you want. You'll never have to check a price tag again! Everything you once wanted but couldn't afford, I'll give it all to you!"I slapped his hands away, utterly disgusted.The words came straight from my chest. "Go fuck yourself."I never wanted all these lies.The air between us turned ice-cold.My phone buzzed. A message from Mom appeared on the screen. She said she was worried about the hospital bills and had checked herself out. Now, she wasn't feeling well and wanted me to bring her some medication.My heart clenched.Mom had never been in good health. How could she just discharge hersel
