บททั้งหมดของ Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

He was drunk again. A bottle dangled from his fingertips, and his clothes hung loosely on his body. He was searching for her, calling out drunkenly and poking at every corner. He was gradually getting to her hiding spot. He was going to find her, sitting and trembling tightly behind the curtains. This was the sick game of hide and seek they played each time, and she never seemed to win a single one.He took a swig from the bottle as he approached. It seemed to give him a boost, and he sang softly as he checked and rechecked every crevice. It seemed like eternity before he reached where she was hiding. He paused right in front of her hideout and tore the curtains open. Their eyes met, and for a second Claire felt her heart spill all over the floor.There were no eyes. The sockets were empty, hanging loosely in his skull. When she peered closely, his head morphed into the smashed figure of Leo Morris. His body disappeared gradually, and was replaced by a maggot covered phantom. It appro

Claire unconsciously took a step back. "Isn't Director Tim the one Myla claimed gave her the box?"Donald finally saw Myla. "Hey Myla. What brings you here?"Myla shook her head, her cheeks stained with tears. Donald raised a brow at Axel."What's going on?"Axel explained the whole situation to him, and Donald regarded Myla with an incensed expression."Are you that dumb, Myla? Even a child would be suspicious of such instructions!"Myla hung her head and said nothing. She merely tightened the grip on her child."Let's go." Axel ordered. "Donald, I need you to find the security feed from an hour ago." He turned to Myla. "I suppose that time is correct?" "Yes sir." She muttered hoarsely.Claire felt bad for her. She desperately wanted to believe her friend, to defend her and take her side. But she had been hurt too many times. She was not about to take the risk that Myla had indeed tried to hurt her.Donald led them down to the men's suite. He brought his laptop out to the sitting ro

Claire returned to the men's suite a little less afraid. After their little stunt, she had stayed back to help Axel get the meal ready. It was nice just being alone with him and cooking together. She just did not want their time together to end. Donald came up to help them move the dishes to the next floor. There, the other women made them sit, while they took over.Somehow, Eric had found himself some decent clothes that looked suspiciously like Hunter's. He had also managed to break Myla out of her little cocoon of horror. She was holding Coco now, pretty calmly and not with a death grip. They sat down to eat, all of them together with the men. Jubril turned on the television."I heard from my source at NewsTv that there is a big news update coming this afternoon." Jubril stared at the men. "He claimed it would shake New York, and one of the major companies."Axel looked up from his plate. "I wonder what that is about.""The only major company I know is Lyn Corporation." Eric chippe

Claire's lips trembled. "I knew it."Axel was speechless. He wanted to facepalm, but his hands were too busy holding her stiff frame."What are you talking about, Claire?"He lifted himself up on his elbow and stared down at her."You didn't tell me you loved me." Claire pouted.Axel was confused. "Did something happen? Something that made you feel I don't?"Claire jutted her chin out. "No. I just wanted to know."Axel gave her a suspicious look. "I do love you very much, Claire Lysander. Now tell me what the hell is going on."Claire lowered her eyes. "I saw the way you were with Coco."Axel sat up, and Claire hesitantly followed. He pulled her between his knees and put his chin on her head."Did I treat her badly?" He whispered."No." Claire sniffed. "You did very great. It made me wonder if we could have some of our own too."Axel stilled. His silence made Claire look up and try to meet his gaze. The shutters of his eyes were pulled down so she could not tell what he was thinking.

Axel had not realized just how much he had missed the company. The sounds, smells and sights of people working to make more money for him were intoxicating. He ran his hand over the railings of the second floor workspace as he stood overlooking the reception. The staff had slowly returned to their positions after putting the shootings behind them.The glass doors and windows had been fixed. Axel had to acknowledge just how much his father's presence had affected the running of things. Not a single thing was out of place. Everyone seemed active at their duty posts. It seemed things were gradually returning back to normal.The Chairman vacated Axel's office immediately his son stepped into the reception. They met halfway between the distance to his office."Hello Father." Axel greeted him with a nod."Can I go home now?" His father asked gruffly. "If you ask me to stay one more day, you will have to relinquish your rights as the CEO."The corner of his lips turned up briefly. "That won'
