Blair managed to escape from Axel's arms without dropping her pride. She breathed a sigh of relief after shooing the man away. No more Axel's voice screaming or knocking on the door.Blair is back busy with work and activities caring for Angelie.A few hours later, Blair went to the front door and opened it. She peeked into the courtyard and didn't see Axel anywhere.There is a sense of regret and loss in her little heart. But Blair trying to get rid of all those worries and refocus on her current life.Moment Blair was about to close the door again, and the corner of her eye caught a flicker of movement that disturbed her. Blair came out and walked towards the side yard. She was surprised when saw Axel lying curled up on the swing."Goddes, what is he doing there? Really stubborn. Why doesn't he leave too?"Blair was again annoyed and slammed the door shut tightly.Blair went to check on her daughter on the second floor. The little baby was fast asleep. Blair keeps watch over her. Sh
A middle-aged woman was cleaning a restaurant table after the last customer left. Her face looked tired. But she is still so passionate about work.The door is open."Sorry, we're closed!" said the restaurant worker without turning around and wiping the table.A lovely and adorable three-year-old little girl walked up to her.The woman stopped wiping the table. She was shocked and amazed by the beauty of the girl."Hey, dear! You came with your parents?" The woman turned to the door and saw no one.She knelt in front of the toddler to align her position."You came alone? What's your name? Our restaurant is closed. Do you need help?"The three-year-old little girl whose curly hair was in two pigtails just smiled. "Angelica… my name is Angelie!""Oh, what a beautiful name! Where is your mom?""Grandma!" said the girl innocently. "Grandma!" she repeated one more time.The woman was stunned and stared at the little girl for a long time. "Did you come with your grandmother? Where is she? A
"Tell me, Katty, why did you bring me here? Aren't we going to do summer work together at your house?"Blair Tanzel looked at her best friend suspiciously. They were standing at the entrance of a hotel that had just opened two days ago.Katty spread her arms desperately. "Who knows. I… I was just trying to help you.""Help me? By taking me to the hotel? What for?" Blair doesn't like it anymore. She demands an explanation."Okay! I could never lie to you." Katty took a deep breath. "I'm not sure this idea will work either. But, he forced me to do it.""He?" Blair's arms crossed over her chest. "Who do you mean?"Katty puffed out her cheeks. "Andrew, he wants to surprise you.""Andrew?""Yes, Andrew White, your boyfriend. He asked me to bring you here and will give you a surprise to celebrate your 6 month anniversary."There was both joy and surprise on Blair's face. "If it's a surprise, why did you tell me?" Blair's tone began to soften.Katty rolled her eyes. "Oh, I don't know. As I r
"I saw you being hugged and groped by Damian a few days ago. I didn't see you trying to stop him." Andrew hissed right in Blair's face.Blair looked fed up. "Damian is just a friend to me. We don't have any relationship. Sometimes he does joke out loud, but that's what he does to almost all of his friends. And I've only had sex with you this whole time, only with you since that surprise night!" Blair shouted desperately.Andrew paused and looked at Blair in surprise. "Surprise night? Tch! You didn't even come to me that night! I did it with another girl!""W-what do you mean, Andrew?""Yes, we did do it the following nights at your house when your mother worked nights. But, on a surprise night two months ago, you didn't show up, and I took my frustration out on another girl!"Blair felt weak for a moment. "On another girl?" Blair repeated Andrew's words. She just realized that her lover was not really loyal to her."Then what do you expect from me?" continued Andrew. "I'm not even sur
"How did you do that?" Mother's voice hung in the air and was unfinished. "How could you do this to me? How dare you, Blair!"The mother stood up from the chair. She placed one hand on her waist and the other on her throbbing forehead."Mom," Blair whispered frantically.She watched her mother pacing around the dinner table without Blair being able to stop her. "This was just an accident. We didn't do it on purpose. It was just a mistake."Blair's excuse immediately made her mother stop. She turned to Blair with a pair of eyes wide open, filled with anger."This wasn't an accident! It was a mistake, yes, my fault for trusting too much and setting you free. But it's also your fault because you never listen to my words! Why did I raise and give birth to you so hard? Why am I defending your life to have to work so hard? And now you betray me? You have betrayed me!" her mother shouted hysterically."Mom," Blair pleaded. She couldn't believe her mother would be so angry. Blair was sure her
A few weeks later, Blair left the small town where she and her mother had lived all this time. She could take nothing with her besides the clothes attached to her body and the baby in her womb.It was nearing the end of autumn. Blair traveled from one city and town to another. She would only stay in one place for no more than three days.She completely stayed away from the town where her mother and friends lived. She didn't want to be recognized by anyone."I'm now officially homeless and a pregnant teenager," Blair muttered as she snuggled against one of the closed storefronts.She didn't know where she was at the moment. She had just crossed a state where there were still a lot of forests there. She took a truck transporting staples until she arrived at the rest area.After thanking the truck driver, Blair pretended to enter a supermarket not far from the gas station. Blair bought mineral water and some snacks for a low price. She had to save her meager savings.Since becoming homel
Blair tried to run away as fast as her feet could walk."I don't want to get involved in any trouble. I didn't see it. I have to get out of here."Blair had lost too much energy that day from nausea and vomiting too often. She hadn't even eaten the bread and water she had just bought from the convenience store. Just when she thought she had stepped away and headed for the highway to seek help, a man was suddenly blocking her with a dagger in hand."Hey, little girl!" said the man while carrying a dagger still covered in blood. "What are you doing here alone at this time of night?"Blair could only look down to hide her face. They were indeed in a dark area with no lighting. However, a few flashes from the passing vehicles were enough for Blair to see that the dagger was undoubtedly covered in blood.She was terrified and didn't know what to say. Right now, the only thing she could do was be honest. Blair hoped that honesty would save her."I'm just homeless," Blair said quietly."Is t
Blair jolted awake as if waking from a long dream when she opened her eyes. Blair felt her body hurt all over the place. She couldn't even move her hands freely. Blair glanced at her tingling hand. "Where am I?" Blair thought, trying to sit up straight. "Are you awake, Miss? Can you hear my voice?" A nurse suddenly approached and checked Blair's pulse and the pupils in her eyes. Blair felt uncomfortable and scared. She brushed off the nurse's hand and inched away. "Tell me, where am I? What happened to me? And the wolf? Then what about the two men in the rest area?" The image of pieces of skin and flesh torn apart by a huge wolf instantly made Blair nauseous. She could still clearly see the pained face of the man pointing the dagger at her. The nurse tried to calm down when she heard Blair's jumpy and incoherent statement. The nurse was aware of the condition of the patient, who had just woken up from fainting and was traumatized by accident. "Take a bed, Miss. Your condition has
