We still can't take off because Blade insists on holding me with him.
He snatched my hand from his back and tugged it to the front to tighten it around his waist.
"If you don't hold on to me, you might fall."
I can feel the surge of my blood accumulating on my cheeks now. It feels so hot so I'm sure they're turning like rotten tomatoes again.
I hope Blade doesn't look back because he can see this is how it affected me. I know I'm wearing a helmet now and he might not notice but I won't be able to handle it when he turns around.
Because we're just like the ones I watch in movies.
It doesn't happen to me every day.
"Are you still alive there?" Blade asked, and when I saw him turn around I immediately nodded to stop him.
"I-I'm fine..." I find it hard to speak because of my increased heart rate and rapid breathing.
"Move a little closer to me Crystal, you might be flown away. Don't act like you're strong because yo
"Are you that thankful? You hugged me before, maybe you want release me?" I instantly unwrapped my arms and step away from him. I ran my finger through my hair that got messy when I removed the helmet. I just peered at the ground as I couldn't lift my gazes to Blade because of what he said. "Look at me." My hand seemed to stiffen stuck in fixing my hair because of what he uttered. I pressed my lips together as I slowly raise my eyes to him. "Are you blushing?" Blade snickered. He even brought up his crumple fist to block his mouth. "I am not." I looked away from him again and just gawked at the parked motor. "Come on, I was just kidding. Look at me." I still didn't give a glance to him. I don’t understand what these nasty little ones inside my stomach are doing that cause my heart to beat rapidly. "Alright, just— try to look around you." Only then did he get my attention again
"Self-defense?""To avoid getting hurt or slapped. You have to be able to protect yourself. You must be stronger." Blade said as he tied the black belt around his core."Okay..."Both of us are now wearing karate uniforms. I forgot what does it called, but as far as I recall, this white jacket is called 'uwagi'."Don't you think this self-defense tutorial is kind of— OA?"I am wearing a black one with three stripes, white, black, and red.Blade is wearing a blue and black belt.Did he mean the two of us would fight?With that size of his body, will he really fight a skinny stick like me?Blade's hand quickly moved to the side of my head that made me instantly close my eyes and lay back. I even felt the slight movement of my hair due to the wind it caused."Wait! Why are you attacking me!?" I shouted in shock."I'm teaching you self-defense Crystal." He said as if he didn't mind what he did
I have been here for three months living in Noah's house. I’ve also learned a lot from Blade’s day-to-day teaching me how to protect myself. Many times I have almost lost my life because of our training. There was once I had to fight with him in the swimming pool while he was drowning my head. He said I needed to find out and learn how to save myself in case someone will drown me and was submerged in water. With the excessive force of his pressure on my head, when I struggled to slip away from him, his bulk arm hit my mouth and cause it to bleed. There was also a time when he once taught me to drive a car, I had no experience in that so Noah's car that we used was awfully scratched. The good thing is we're both safe. It was as if I could still hear Noah's loud cry that day. In the days that Blade taught me, I truly learned a lot from him. Starting with dodging and defending, using a gun, how to attack a person to faint, hol
[THIRD-PERSON POV]"You ready, babe?" Maddison asked Liam as she adjusted the necktie he was wearing."I do."Today is Liam’s birthday and the set time to declare the transfer with him of the entire shares of Spencers Corporation. No one knew that this would be announced at his birthday, except for the people living inside Spencer’s manor. And Blade is one of them.Noah's side is aware that this event would happen tonight because Blade was always with Liam wherever he went.For the past three months, Blade took Liam's reliance to bring him closer to him and give his entire trust. He had to do this to gather more valuable information from within their manor."We have been waiting for this day for like forever! I couldn't be happier for you." Maddison exclaimed ecstatically and kissed his temple before she pulled out and ran her hand through her hair.They are both wearing masks, Maddison's is silver which glows whenever the
Crystal"He saw me," I said secretly to Blade who was stationed on the side of the venue. He was wearing a tuxedo and a black mask with a little tint of gold. I also noticed the object placed in his ear.Earlier, I begged Blade to let me try the one in his ear because I only see it in movies and I want to experience being a James Bond even just for a minute. But no matter how much I begged Blade, he didn't let me borrow it, he said I could touch It if I want or I could just ask Mr. Dawson to buy one for me."I told you, you can't try it."Blade apparently noticed me staring at a small earphone placed in his ear."So, the next thing I will do is to approach him. Right?" Blade nodded at me discreetly.When I entered the door a moment ago, I was shocked to be greeted by the eyes of people. I really feel like I'm going to lose my balance earlier because my knees are loosening
"Don't you miss me too?" I tilted my head while raising both of my brows to him as my lower lip raised into a pout."What are you doing here?" Liam mumbled angrily to me."I'm here for you. You're my husband, it's your birthday today and Spencers Corp. has also set the bequest for you. I want to congratulate you as your wife and to tell you that I'm happy for the two of us. " It was as if his eyebrows would be joined together at the excessive collision of it.The spotlight is still focused on us, and Liam is obviously preventing the emotion he exploded from within his body.He grabbed my hand scarcely and pulled me out of the room when the party was taking place.Before we could get out, my eyes searched for Blade who was now looking at us and giving me a signal that he would be next to us.I just let Liam drag me up to their yard without any other people.Even if I want to struggle to slip away from his grip, I can't do that.
Crystal "So it's over? Are you serious about sticking with that jerk?" Noah asked, scrunching up his face and throwing himself on my bed. "Yes, my strategy is to have greater access to Spencers before anything else. Don't you think it'd be amazing if you could bring Amara's items back into this room as well?" While looking in the mirror, I smeared crimson lipstick on my lips. "We don't have to do that, though. My younger sister will be overjoyed to know that her room is occupied, and we will not be returning the pink items. This color combination would be good, as I believe Amara now prefers it." My brows furrowed in response to Noah's words. I'm not sure why a little girl would prefer this color. At this age, she would undoubtedly favor pink and baby-themed items. Noah could have simply been born strange. I didn't respond to him and instead focused on fixing my hair, attempting to remove the stray strands that were visible due
"Mr. Spencer is in his office right now," said the unflappable Butler. I'll never forget our first encounter with him. His aura is really powerful, and he has a very elegant appearance. It was unnerving to be in his presence. Maddison is, without a doubt, his child. "Thank you," I responded as I entered their home. "Crystal!" I heard a familiar voice calling to me, and I looked around for the source of the sound, which turned out to be Sybil, who is holding a croissant. Is this something he does on a daily basis? He doesn't appear to have changed in the least. But it's only been three months since we last saw each other. "Sybil..." I gave him a friendly smile as he approached me. He's really handsome, no wonder why I liked him then. "It's great to have you back; I couldn't believe it last night when you kissed Liam while the light was beaming on the both of you. It's fascinating to see how you show yourself to o
