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
Axel was about to run towards Blair's balcony when he heard a groan. Axel's footsteps stopped, and he immediately looked over the bed. Beneath the piled and crumpled blankets, Axel saw Blair curled up there.Instantly relief flooded Axel's feelings."Does she sleep with the window open? You crazy girl!" muttered Axel while closing the window tightly again.As Axel was about to leave Blair's room, he suddenly felt doubts. Blair didn't react at all to Axel's appearance. The man walked back to the bed to check on Blair."Hey, are you okay?" Axel pulled the blanket over Blair's body. "You keep moaning. Did you sleep all night with the window open? Are you crazy?"Axel was surprised to see the girl's appearance under the covers. Blair hadn't even changed her clothes yet. She was still wearing the same ball gown.The girl just curled up in bed like a baby. Now, without the blankets, it was clear that Blair was shivering and whimpering like someone in pain."No kidding! It's not funny. Is th
"Mom...."Axel fell asleep with his body kneeling on the floor while his head and hands were resting on Blair's bed. The man flinched in surprise when he heard Blair's voice."Mom... it hurts..." Blair groaned in her sleep.Axel immediately sat up straight. He checked on Blair. The girl's eyes were still tightly closed, but her lips kept mumbling, calling her mom.Axel started to panic. He wanted so badly to pick Blair up and take her to the hospital right then and there. However, if Axel forced her to the hospital, Blair would be furious and even mount a violent rebellion.Axel paced up and down Blair's room thinking about what to do.Blair's moaning was getting more frequent, and the girl looked hurt. Axel approached. He hesitantly reached out to feel Blair's forehead."Her temperature is still high."Axel sighed and folded his arms to his chest. He was angry with frustrated and felt helpless. Axel unintentionally released his anger."Look, your body has a fever, and you are in pain
Before Axel walked closer to the bed, Blair had already pushed aside the blanket and jumped down. She ran out of her room and rushed to the kitchen to clean up the mess she had made.Axel Still standing in front of Blair's bed. He secretly laughed at Blair's frantic behavior."Feel it! Don't try to make fun of me," Axel said as he tidied up his clothes.Blair started cleaning the kitchen. After taking out the trash, she washed the dishes piled up in the sink. Her mouth kept grumbling and cursing. She was mad at Axel.As Blair was rinsing the dishes, Axel suddenly walked past her. The girl put down the plates and leaned with one hand on the sink. She held her head with her other hand."Ouch..." Blair groaned. "My head hurts so much!" She pretended to be in pain in front of Axel.Axel was getting some water from the refrigerator when he heard Blair moaning. This made Axel unable to take water. Axel glanced at Blair with a glare."Stop acting and get your work done!"Blair pursed her lip
"I don't want you to go!" Axel said pleadingly. The man is on the ground floor. He sat in the dark with his back bent.Blair is awake at night. The girl heard voices from the ground floor and immediately got out of bed to check. Blair stood on the landing of the second floor and looked down."Axel? What is he doing in the dark?"Blair doesn't know that Axel has returned home. When Blair returns from the supermarket, she finds the house empty. Blair slept for several hours."I don't want you to go. Can't you be with me?" Axel repeated his words and then sighed while waving his hands. "I really like you. I love you."Axel said the last sentence louder, as if he was suffering a lot. After that, he suddenly felt his navel. Axel ruffled his own hair and sat up with his shoulders slumped."I have loved you for a long time," Axel spoke in a lower tone. "Can't you stay with me?"Without Axel noticing, Blair had already walked down the stairs silently and was standing behind him without a soun
"You?" Blair was shaking. At this time, she didn't even dare to mention the person's name with her lips."Well, it's me!" said the man. "Andrews. Your former lover." He grinned right at Blair.Blair recoiled in fright and pulled the scarf over her mouth. "Sorry," Blair said. "You must have mistaken someone." She backed away and quickly turned away from there.Andrew took Blair's hand just in time. He gripped her hand so tightly that Blair whimpered."You can't fool me. You can't get away from me, Blair Tanzel!"Andrew also pulled the scarf covering Blair's face. The girl was pale and frightened. Her eyes met Andrew's."Let me go!" Blair said, tugging Andrew's hand from her arm. "I have no business with you. You've dumped me for Katty. Why are you following and harassing me now?"He grinned. "So this is you! At first, I thought Katty was talking crap when she said she saw you in a Manhattan shopping mall. Turns out this is really you. It was not in vain that I kept looking for and foll
Andrew was still clutching Blair's hand and had no intention of letting go of her until he got what he wanted."Get off me, bastard! Do you think you can blackmail me? Do not dream!"Andrew chuckled. "Look at you now! Do you feel emboldened by the support of the rich men you conned? Do you think you can have fun alone? I know you still love me, Blair!"With one free hand, Andrew pulled Blair's bag and examined it closely. He smirked."You even wear hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bags. You really know how to have fun. Slut girl. You're just like your mom. Bitch!""Not! My mom is not a bitch!" Blair screamed like a madman and continued to struggle to free herself from Andrew.Andrew's looks start to panic. He glanced around, and people began to pay attention to them."I will let you off the hook this time. But, remember, I'd be back anytime. And when I return, you must accept me. If not—" Andrew did not continue his words. "You will know the consequences."Andrew let go of Bl
