Diva's heart was thumping so loudly, she could swear it might jump out of her ribcage any second now, as the voice of her grandma inched closer, until she finally found Diva standing in the middle of the living room with an unfamiliar young man by her side, whom she recognized to be Blaze Hudson.
"Diva Adler!" Emerald Adler exclaimed in fury,
Blaze called for a maid to show Emerald her room, and as soon as Emerald left the dining hall, Diva leaped up on the chair."Oh, my goodness! What are we gonna do, Blaze? If Grandma stays here, we are so screwed. She will kn
It was around twelve in the afternoon when Blaze was reading a business article since it was a holiday. When a sudden knock disrupted his peace, he thought it was probably the call for lunch. Oh, how wrong he was!"Sir, you're being summoned downstairs by ma'am's grandmother," informed a maid from outside.
Usually, Blaze liked his nights to be quiet and peaceful, no matter how chaotic his day was, but today was a different scenario.Blaze pressed the pillow hard against his ears to block out the noises that were coming from his right side. The booming sound of the mobile game and yelling of Diva, both were making him unable to sleep.
Blaze was drinking a cup of black coffee to which Emerald raised an eyebrow and said, "Drinking coffee on an empty stomach isn't good for your health, Blaze.""I know, right, Grandma? I tell him that all the time," Diva chimed in, earning a glare from Blaze. That was a big fat lie. She never told him that before, neither did he drink coffee fi
Blaze was dreaming of lying down on the soft green grass as the wind was blowing elegantly until the sound of a gunshot made him jump out of his sleep. As his eyes fluttered open, he met with white chiffon fabric, and his arms were draped around that fabric, actually, around the person who was wearing that fabric.Blaze shifted his head a little as he saw a few strands of brown hair coming from the top. His eyes trailed up, stopping at the grey orbs staring down at him. His eyes widened, his cheeks starting to heat up, and he attempted to sit up immediately, only to get his head bumped with Diva's."Ouch!" both of them winced at the same time and squeezed their eyes shut. Blaze was the first to open his eyes and notice just how close their faces were—only a few inches apart. He retreated his hand back that was still around her waist and scooted away from her, keeping a good three feet distance between them.He lowered his gaze, staring at the floor, feeling conscious suddenly. He could
Blaze shifted sides several times, trying to get a comfortable sleeping position, yet he couldn't fall asleep. The night was quiet, just the way he liked it. Even so, there was an uneasiness that tugged at his heart. As if he needed to be somewhere, by someone's side.Irritated, he sat up and let out a heavy sigh. He pondered for a while befor
It was morning already. The heart to heart talk between Blaze and Diva made their connection stronger than before."Blaze, did you ever visit Diva's office before?" Emerald suddenly asked in the dining hall.
The following day after seeing Diva's workplace, Blaze was coming downstairs, freshened up after returning from his office late at night. He paused on his tracks when he heard someone yelling."Diva, how many times have I told you not to play these stupid games?" The voice became clearer as Blaze approached the living room and saw Diva sitting on the sofa with her laptop on her lap, and Emerald glaring down at Diva. Diva stood up, placing the laptop on the table."Why don't you answer? How many times more do I need to repeat myself before you actually listen to me? Why don't you understand that what I am saying is for your own good?" scolded Emerald.Diva just listened quietly. She knew better than to talk back to her grandma. Not to mention, she had nothing to protest about. Blaze clenched his fist."Diva, this is the last time I'm telling you. Throw these things away, and concentrate on your new life. It was understandable when you're young, but now you're a married woman. Playing
