All Chapters of Defrosting Her Cold Heart : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Huh,” Lucas nodded indifferently and entered the orphanage. Lucas stepped out of the jeep, his presence commanding attention. His sharp jawline and piercing gaze seemed chiseled from granite, exuding an aura of authority that silenced the surrounding chatter.” Seeing the legendary Lucas Blackwood finally show up, the director of the orphanage came up to greet him. “ Mr Blackwood, this is your first time being involved in the selection. Nice to meet you” Lucas walked straight in and coldly replied,” Nice to meet you too, Director Steve; every four years, M base chooses new members from orphanages around the country based on the agreement with the government. So you are just following the routine and so do I. Yes, but you're the Director of the M base. The children in our orphanage will depend on you to take care of them in the future. They are all orphans, but if they become successful in society in the future through the training in M base, It will also be a great achievement and b

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§The mist obscured her view, but she could sense coldness in the dark eyes.She hadn’t expected that she would fall off the tree so easily and slide into the spring, nor did she expect that someone would be in the spring…The man in the spring concealed his surprise, looking at the boy sticking his head out of the water and staring at him in the mist. “What? You want to join me?” Lucas asked, his voice low and even.Casey hesitated, unsure how to respond to why she fell from the tree into the spring; her gaze darted between Lucas's imposing figure and the darkness beyond the spring, her mind racing. Water droplets clung to her lashes as she weighed her options, her voice caught in her throat. She hadn't seen him in an orphanage before; he must be a member of the M base, but she was unsure of his position in the base.She slowly slid down to hide half of her face underwater calmly so only her calm, cold eyes could be seen.Seeing him staying motionless, Lucas stays in t

Outside the Old Building, Lucas paused outside the aging structure, his sharp gaze sweeping over its crumbling facade. The wood of the door was splintered, and the windows, clouded with grime, cast a faint, eerie reflection in the late afternoon light.Behind him, Director Steve shifted nervously, his hands wringing together. "This building," he began, his voice a touch too quick, "was constructed fifty years ago, back when the orphanage was first established. It’s long past its prime. The children who lived here were moved to the newer facility years ago. Hardly anyone comes here anymore."Lucas didn’t respond, his attention fixed on the moss creeping over the narrow stone path leading to the door. Its green fingers blanketed the ground as though nature itself had claimed the area—yet he noticed the abrupt break in the pattern.The section nearest to the main road was suspiciously bare, its stone surface worn smooth by the unmistakable rhythm of regular footsteps."Hardly anyone," Lu

The underground arena reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows across the faces of the spectators, their voices a mix of jeers and excited murmurs. The floor of the ring was stained—a testament to the countless fights that had taken place here. Casey stood in the center, her frame seemingly smaller compared to the towering opponent before her. He was a beast of a man—muscles thick, veins bulging, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. “She won’t last a minute,” someone in the crowd snickered. Casey ignored them. The fight master raised his hand. “Start!” Her opponent lunged, aiming a brutal punch at her face. But he was too slow. Casey ducked, the air whistling past her ear as his fist missed by mere inches. Before he could recover, she pivoted sharply, driving her elbow into his ribs. A satisfying gru

Casey’s expression remained cold and unreadable as she took a step back, her gaze flickering toward the black SUVs. The air was thick with tension, every man in the area standing at attention, waiting for their boss to step out.Her instincts screamed at her—this was dangerous. Too dangerous.She had been reckless to follow Andrew here without knowing what she was getting into. Now, standing at the edge of a crowd that treated her like some rare creature, she realized she was playing with fire.With a casual yet firm tone, she spoke.“Your base is not suitable for me. I am not interested anymore. I’ll be off in a minute.”A murmur rippled through the men. No one simply rejected M Base.Austin scoffed, “Where do you think you’re going? You saved Andrew’s life, and that’s not something we forget. Since you have such great martial skills, why don’t you just stay? M Base could use someone like you.”Casey narrowed her eyes. “I don’t need a place to stay.”Andrew quickly stepped closer, lo
