CHAPTER 71: I CAN BE HIM

[CASTELLAN'S HOUSE]Ixora's face beamed with a smile as she walked in. Drexton didn't let her leave his side for once. They even had lunch together, though he didn't eat, just watched her. Her actions at the office today were... so not hers. She had no idea why she felt the need to claim Drexton in front of Bonnie. What she didn't expect was that he'd play along. He didn't look nor act shocked when she did it, and she was glad. Bonnie's mistake was threatening her.She chuckled inwardly, remembering the look on her face and the fact that she had passed out.She wanted to take another step when she felt a presence in the sitting room. Looking up, her smile broadened when she saw Blake.She ran and hugged him."I'm sorry," she muttered.Blake flickered her forehead. "Silly, why are you apologizing? I'm not dead."Ixora punched him, a frown on her face. "Why would you say a thing like that? Die because of rain."Blake smiled. "You're right."Ixora raised her lid to his face. His lips w

CHAPTER 72: MUM

[BLAKE'S HOUSE]The sun rose, filling the sky with its orange color. It fell on Blake's room, draping its bright light and warmth on Blake's face.Blake tossed around, using his hand to block the light. The sun from the other side shone on his face."Who opened the curtains so brightly?" he groaned, his voice draggy. He rubbed his eyes and sat up."Ouch." He rubbed his temples. "Why does my head hurt so badly?"His hand paused on his forehead as the smell of the room caught his nose.He remembered going to the bar last night. How then did he end up in his room?"Great, the drunkard is awake," Audrey said, coming in with Skye.She pushed in a trolley, making Blake wonder what it contained."What are you doing with that?" Audrey stood akimbo, raising her brows at him. "Oh, that? A drunkard needs a lot of hangover soup, and I made it. You can choose whichever one you like."Skye prevented himself from bursting into laughter. The way she stood at akimbo made it look like a mum scolding h

CHAPTER 73: TRIP TO SICILY

The day for the trip to London has arrived. Currently, Ixora was climbing Drexton's private jet, looking so lost and confused.Two days ago, she was very excited about the trip... having to spend time with Drexton alone, but now, she was,She exhaled, going to sit beside Drexton. A laptop was on his thigh, and from the not-so-serious expression he had, it looked like he was rounding off.They'd leave by 12 pm, and the time was 10 minutes away from 12. Drexton hadn't spared her a single glance since she got on the jet, but she knew he was aware of her presence.Her mind wasn't at ease; she was deeply troubled. First, by Blake's issues. Neither of them had contacted each other, and she knew he needed some time alone. To reflect and maybe give up on her, either way, she's happy he didn't get hurt in any way.And secondly, the truth she found out yesterday. Joanna's truth.She had gone to find out more about Drexton's condition and how she could maybe help him. He might look okay on the ou

CHAPTER 74: CHARITY GALA

Ixora woke up to see Drexton gone again. She clearly remembered dozing off on the table while waiting for him. Now, she's in the bed, meaning he came back to the hotel.She got out of bed, mumbling some cursing words. If he knew he wouldn't need her help, why make her come with him? At least she wouldn't be dying of boredom if she were in New York.She was about to enter the bathroom when her eyes caught a package."What is this?" She picked it up and saw a note."Wear this. We'll be going out in the evening. I will send people who will join you soon."From Drexton, no doubt.Seriously, he couldn't even wait for her to wake up and tell her himself. What's with the letter as if they are in the 90s? But she had to admit, his handwriting was indeed fine. Neat.What are you thinking, Ixora? He has been ignoring you.She tossed the box on the bed, concluding she'd not go anywhere. She took her phone, ready to book a flight to New York. She glanced at the package again, feeling tempted

CHAPTER 75: MY FLAME

[NEW YORK, CAIUS' HOUSE]"And when is the appointment?" "A month from now," Doctor Frat replied from the background."You've handled the necessary things, right?" Lorraine asked, tracing her finger along Drex's face."I've spoken with the doctor. He's from Chinese, and is based there as well. I've also confirmed that he knows his work. Trust me when I say he's the best doctor for the surgery. Doctor Chen is his name, you can look him up on the internet."A smile appeared on Lorraine's lips. "A few months to come, and I'll be the type of girl Drexton likes. It's still far, but it's worth the wait, right, Drex?"The robot nodded twice. "Good boy," she patted his head."I will forward his contact details later in the day.""It's fine. I couldn't have done all this without your help. You are the best doctor, and I trust you'll continue to keep the secret like you've always done.""You can trust me on that, Lorraine," Doctor Frat said."That's more like it." Lorraine hung up."I can't wai

CHAPTER 76: I WANT MORE THAN PLAYING

[HOTEL]By the time they arrived at Ixora's room, her cheeks were flushed red. He literally carried her on his shoulder all the way there, and she couldn't help but notice the stares everybody gave her.He got to the bathroom and dropped her. "Freshen up, you must be tired," he said.A deep frown creased her brow. "W... What?" She found herself stuttering.Doesn't he ever get turned on? Just when she thought she'd succeeded in getting him to touch her, he's asking her to bathe. Leaving her to her unending fantasies. He crouched down and took off her heels."I'll leave you." Like that, he left.Truly left, without giving her a chance to say anything. Her face fell as she ripped her dress off. She glanced down at her panties to see that it was all damped with her wetness. Once again, he's leaving her to her shame and confusion. Confusion about him.Why does he avoid touching her? His weird behavior at times has left her wondering if he still hates her. Has he gone back to his old w

CHAPTER 77: HE LEFT ME TOO

"He's dead."The words rolled out of her lips heavily. Her tears poured out.Bonnie fell to the ground, sobbing and screaming.Ixora's eyes turned red with tears. She might not like Bonnie, but she felt pity for her. She hasn't been able to move from her spot, knowing it might not be a good idea. And consoling Bonnie, she'd have done it if Bonnie weren't the type to create a scene.Maddox and Jaxon haven't reacted. Their eyes held maybe an amused look, because the news seemed unbelievable."It's a lie," Drexton said, walking towards Joanna.He was trying to keep normal steps, but he was clearly affected by the news.Joanna shook her head. She doesn't look like someone who'd play a prank in this situation.Drexton pushed open the ward and walked in.A patient was in bed, and a white cloth covered the person completely.The monitor beep was showing straight lines, a sign that the patient's heart had stopped beating.Without thinking twice, Drexton strode to the patient and yanked off th

CHAPTER 78: OPTION ONE

[HELL DEVILS' HIDEOUT]Nelly stood outside, contemplating whether she should go ahead and knock or not. She remembered him clearly asking her to return his jacket. Since then, she has been scared of going to him.He's someone she has labeled as abnormal. What if he displays one of his madness? She blamed herself for accepting the jacket. She could have given it to him when he asked her to return it. But he gave her no option other than accepting.She exhaled three consecutive times, trying to calm her fast-beating heart. Amongst all the days, she chose to return it today, a day she felt things were not alright. The paranoid feeling came the moment she stood at the doorstep. Better leave Nelly.Her inner mind told her. She listened, deciding to come the next day.The moment she turned, she heard the door bolt and squeak open.She would have fallen if not for her strong stamina.With a gulp, she turned, praying and hoping he wasn't the one who opened the door.If he's not, she can eas

CHAPTER 79: PRESUMPTION

[B&R ELITE HOSPITAL, LORRAINE'S WARD]"You are in love with Drexton?" His eyes were wide with shock, and they hadn't stopped moving from Drex to Lorraine."Oops, I've been busted." She smiled and pressed the button behind Drex's neck.It went shut."Lorraine, you—""Yes," she snapped. "Everything you heard over the phone is the truth. I had my womb removed just so that I won't get pregnant again. I have to keep myself fit for Drexton, and for the surgery, they are all true. I will be leaving for China next month," she confessed, shamelessly.Caius could have fallen if not for the wall behind him. His face was still clouded in shock as he stared at the wife whom he had done nothing but love. Lorraine was the only woman whom he swore to love until death. He was able to get over a series of temptations from other women only because of his endless love for Lorraine.He wouldn't deny, he had seen the signs—the way she always defended and stood for Drexton, but he thought she was just be

CHAPTER 80: ALLIANCE

[IXORA'S ROOM] Life has a way of bringing people closer. In her life, it was Aunt Maria. She was a mother, her comforter and all. She was ready to guide her, but death had to take her away. And in Drexton's life, she can say it's Joanna, who gives him motherly love, and then Caius, his father, his mentor. She's come to understand the reason why his death affected him so much. He's like the backbone and armor behind the name Blackthorn. She met Joanna yesterday, and Joanna told her a few roles Caius played in Drexton's life. She's also come to understand why Bonnie's so obsessed with Drexton. Her dad's the sole reason why Drexton is who he is today. Though Drexton didn't allow him to sponsor him using his money, he was the one whom Drexton mortgaged his diamond wristwatch to. The watch is Drexton's source of insane wealth, and she had stolen the watch from him. She understood the anger back then. She stole his life that day. Selfish her. The more she finds out about Drexton, she
