Blake did as he was told, helped her to the bathroom, and left her. Claire then slowly lowered herself into the tub, and when the water touched her sore spot, it stung, and a little blood was released into the water. When she finished, she felt a little better and was startled by Blake waiting for her by the door. He helped her back to the bed. On the vanity was her breakfast. When she was settled, he brought her meal to her. Claire looked at the vanity, then remembered the two wine glasses left the night before. She looked at him, was touched by his kindness, and felt remorse for her actions.“Rest today. I’ll tend to you till you get better.” Blake said as he walked away.Julie entered after Blake left and shut the door.“How are you feeling? Did something happen last night?”“Mom, I’m fine. I just pulled a muscle, and I’ll be better when I rest for a while.” Claire put on a tough face.“That’s good. Your appointment with the doctor tomorrow can’t be rescheduled.” Julie said, leavin
The following day Claire felt an arm around her and panicked. Seeing it was Blake, she quickly kicked him out of bed, sending the startled man to the floor.“What are you doing?” Blake asked. “Are you trying to kill me after last night’s kiss?”Claire then remembered what had almost happened and her promise; she blushed.“Sorry, I…”“It’s fine. I should have been up a long time ago. Sorry if I scared you.” Blake said, getting himself off of the floor with a smile.He had always gotten up before her but was too comfortable with her in his arms.“I’ll start breakfast. How are you feeling today?”“A lot better, thanks to you.”“It’s what I should do; you’re my wife,” Blake said, leaving the room.Claire blushed hearing his remarks and got out of bed. The pain was light, and she could move freely on her own.Leaving the room, she bumped into her mother, trying to hide her blushing face.“Why is your face so red? Not coming down with something, are you?”“No, mom. I’m fine.”“Good, but hav
Claire left the building in a daze. What she had known all this time was all a misunderstanding, and Blake wasn’t being unfaithful. Claire was thrilled in her heart, knowing that Steve didn’t have children outside the family. Then shock crept in when she realized that she was unfaithful and had an affair with Steve behind Blake’s back. Tears began forming in her eyes from the regret that she didn’t trust Blake. Julie drove the car, and she entered, wiping her eyes.“What is wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did something happen?” Julie asked Claire with concern.“No, a misunderstanding cleared up, and I’m happy,” Claire replied, putting on a solid front.While Blake waited for the paperwork, he was busy creating another set of highly censored pictures; soon, the paperwork came with a bank card with eighteen million. It was pretty standard; all he had to do was sign and have her sign, then it would be done since they never consummated the marriage.Blake made his way back to their vi
“Father, don’t listen to him. He’s conspired against us to take our money, and he knows about the hundred-million-dollar investment and is scheming against us!” Julie cried out, trying to place blame on Blake.“A year and a half ago, I delivered your package that changed my life and Claire’s. At first, I considered all my options and decided to marry your granddaughter. I’m very grateful for that decision due to some troubling situations that I was involved in. The Anderson family are prominent and tricky to handle along with your granddaughter Claire.”“What you mean, Blake?”“Father, don’t believe him; all he’s doing is spouting lies!” Julie yelled behind the door. All the while, Claire was pacing back and forth when Julie turned around and placed her hands on Claire’s shoulders, making her stop in front of her mother. Tears were still in the corners of Claire’s eyes.“When we return, we will destroy everything; no one will know,” Julie claimed as she held Claire.“Mom, please stop.
Standing, the two ladies slowly walked into the study of George and sat in the leather chairs in front of the desk as George closed the door and returned to his desk. After a long silence, George finally spoke.“I hope you two are happy. The family may have just indivertibly lost the only savior of the Westons.”The two women were taken back. ‘How could Blake be the savior of the Westons? Wasn’t he only a small-time business owner now? Before, he was only a delivery guy.’“Father, are you maybe mistaken? Blake’s only a small business owner who got that with Elon Trust’s help.” Julie tried to correct her father.Not wanting to divulge too much, George answered with a question.“How do you think he acquired his business?”“Why through Mr. Wheaton, of course. When he went to his family coronation of the new head of the family, he was associated with him, and he proposed a business plan and got the business for himself.” Julie said, thinking back to Blake’s explanation.“And how close is
Steve Anderson had been awaiting news from his man. He even went to the man’s office but found it closed and locked. After inquiring about his whereabouts, it seemed that he had disappeared after that night. Steve bashed his desk in anger without knowing what to do or how to get in touch.‘That bastard must have skipped town with the pictures. Will he blackmail the Weston family himself and leave me out of it? Regardless, the outcome will be the same, but what about my pictures.’ Steve pondered then an evil smile came across his face. ‘I’ll have to make some new ones later. I’ve been avoiding Claire for this long. Maybe I should arrange a meeting with the excuse of being too busy with work.’When he was thinking of contacting Claire, a knock on his office door came with his new secretary entering. She was a middle-aged woman, around forty, who his father had assigned him because his work was slacking. She was Barbra Justine, and she had Blond hair, a good complexion, a small body that
“I know I have made a great mistake, and I will try my best to make it up to him. I only now realize that I love him.” Claire said in between sobbing.Sylvia moved away from Claire after she calmed down and wiped her tears. Looking at Claire with pity, she asked her a question.“Where has Blake been staying when he’s thrown out of the home?”Claire then looked at Sylvia with hope. She knew he stayed at The Lotus Suites for a duration.“Thank you,” Claire said, rising from her seat.“He may not be there, but you can try and see,” Sylvia said, knowing fully well that Blake was in the small world and not in his suite. “Okay, I have a lot to do, and you have a husband to find.”When Claire left, Sylvia returned to her office and sat with a sinister smile behind the desk.“Play with my Blake’s feelings? Though I can’t do anything to you, don’t think I can’t send you on a wild goose chase.”Claire arrived at The Lotus Suites, went to the reception, and inquired about Blake’s room.Carol smi
Blake was in the small world, cultivating and enhancing his combat skills. His mind became more evident as time progressed and his heart colder. This was the Blake that led troops into combat and arranged many missions. His aura became more intuned to the power of his body.“Your skills are becoming more profound. You are getting quicker, have more control of Quick Step, and can wield two swords in each hand indefinitely.” Tabby said, watching him destroy another mountain in the distance.“Yes, well, I’ve broken through the fourth stage of body sculpting in the Life Destruction Cultivation.” Said Blake as he withdrew his swords and walked over to Tabby. “I don’t need to worry about small arms at the moment, and I’m only beginning to understand the energy of my Dantian.”Blake went through the restructuring of his blood and muscles. He had transformed his bones to steel, and his skin was tough as iron by completing the first three levels of body sculpting and was working on the middle
