"Are you scared?""No.""Are you sure?""No.""Tch. You are scared.""Maybe."Claire was sitting in the front seat of the car, as straight as a board. Axel was driving, and he glanced occasionally at Claire while they talked. Her hands were in her laps, and her spine was straight as a ruler. There was no way she could deceive him. She was more than terrified.He rolled down the window and put his hand on the elbow on the window sill."My parents' behavior must have traumatized you, I guess."She folded her arms across her chest. "I am not traumatized. I would just rather not be anywhere near people who judged my person as evil simply because of the family I belong to."Axel's fingers tightened on the steering wheel. "That is their way of thinking, and it doesn't matter. What matters is that I love you, and any one who has a contrary opinion should go hang himself."She turned her head on the headrest to face him. "Including your parents?""Especially my parents." He confirmed.Claire

Claire's fork dropped loudly into her plate. "This weekend? That's barely four days from now!"Axel nudged her, and she bit her bottom lip and swallowed her words. She wanted to scream in protest. She also wanted to plant a fist in the smug looking face of the Chairman. They had been making small talk, before the Chairman dropped the bombshell; he wanted Axel and Claire to get married that Saturday.If Claire took out the next day, which would find them busy preparing for the ball, they had only three days. She had always dreamed about having a beautiful wedding, but weddings like that took months to plan. How would she pull off all the preparations in two days, and still have enough time to rest on the third day?"Why should there be any delay? You both were already married. We need to get this done and out of the way, so he can finally focus on the company."What the Chairman said made perfect sense, at least to his wife. Claire could not tell what Axel was thinking. His lips were t

Claire looked all around her. There was a mannequin at the center of the room, and it had on it the most gorgeous dress Claire had ever seen in her entire life. She looked up at the smiling faces of everyone in the room.Claire's mouth dropped open. "What's this?"Myla grabbed one of her arms, and Coco lathed on to the other."You were too busy to shop for a dress for the charity event tomorrow. So we made this for you."Danielle beckoned on them. "Come on, come and try it out."Axel opened the door at that moment, and he paused by the entrance."That dress is pretty." That was his very first comment. "Is it for Claire?"Jenise beamed. "You bet. My sewing is a little rough, but this should do."Claire's mouth fell even further. "You made this yourself?"Jenise nodded. "We all did. I ran the stitches, everyone else put on the stones and trimmings. Coco passed us the materials.""What are you waiting for? Try it on already!" Donald urged.Claire blinked at the tears that were forming in

Claire grabbed Axel's hand and snuggled closer to him. She flashed the brightest smile she could at the reporters and swung her hips gracefully. Axel followed her movements warily, and she giggled silently. She was his wife, and she was done hiding in the shadows. She was going to act the part of the wife to the most powerful billionaire CEO in New York City.Two butlers stood by the golden double doors to check people's invitations. They opened the doors once they saw Axel approach."One of the perks of being your wife." She muttered under her breath."What was that?" Axel asked with a look that told her he had heard her clearly.She gave him a fleeting scowl. "You don't have to look so smug.""Now, now, we can't afford to ruin you makeup with frown lines."Claire pinched his side, and grinned when he jerked. It was his turn to scowl, and her turn to tease him."Now, now." She mimicked his velvety drawl. "The doors are open, and the audience can see you already. We can't afford to ru

Claire retreated into the car quickly and tried to shut the door as soon as Axel turned around, but the door caught on the trimmings at the hem of her dress and got stuck. She smiled sheepishly as he approached with a thunderous expression on his face. "I told you to stay in the car." He growled and tore the door away from her dress. "I did, but…"She immediately shut her mouth when he gave her a sour look."Take her home, Donald." He ordered and shut the door with a loud bang.Donald rolled down the window. "What about the diner?"Axel sighed and rubbed his temple with his fingers. "Drive over there and wait for me. Let me take care of this mess."Donald did a mock salute and started the engine. Claire gave Axel a little wave, and the corner of his lips lifted for a brief second."Don't stand me up." She mouthed.He gave a little nod and went back to where Lisa was now trying to bite off the hand of the chief of security. Claire's watched him as his figure diminished slowly with ea

Danielle gently shoved her forward. "Don't worry about that. At the rate at which you're eating, you'll probably not fit into the dress by weekend."Jenise snorted out a laugh. "I guess that means we will need to do the fitting of the dress on Friday night."The ladies giggled in amusement, and Claire glowered at them."That's not funny, guys!" She grabbed Coco's hand. "Come on, Coco, let's leave them to their impolite behavior."Her reaction only made them giggle more. Claire was not particularly upset. She felt pretty good that they were at least having fun. She could not begin to imagine what they had gone through when she had been in the state of coma. She had not even properly thanked them yet.Claire could see Donald from afar, through the glass doors. He was leaning on the limo, speaking into the phone and smiling widely. Occasionally, he would draw circles with his toes or scratch the back of his head, an indication that he was speaking to his new girlfriend. His relationship

Axel stared at Claire in wonder. "You stayed up for most of last worrying about my whereabouts, and now that I'm back safely, you find yourself something else to worry about?"Claire drew her lips into a pout. "I waited up for you because I already had that in mind! Then we couldn't reach you and I forgot what I was worrying about."Axel had to suppress his laughter. "Oh. I see. Well, I have not sent any invitations out yet."Claire sat up. "Really? The wedding is in two days!"Axel furrowed his brows. "Um, yeah?""How would the guests have time to ready their outfits?"Axel snorted. "If anyone cannot get a proper outfit for an occasion, even if it is thirty minutes away, that person would not be in my list. You know the circle I belong to, Claire. If I give them the invitation that morning, and tell them to dress a certain way, they'll show up at the wedding before you."Claire frowned. "That would not be very polite.""I am not polite, sweetheart. I thought you knew that."Claire bi

It was the ladies' turn to exchange glances. "How can you not know what happens the day before a wedding?" Myla asked. "Even my Coco knows!" Axel raised a brow. "I do know about the bridal shower, but you already had one yesterday."Jenise nudged Danielle. "Tell him. Put them out of their misery." Her voice rang with mockery.Danielle and Claire giggled. "We are going to the spa and hair salon!" Hunter rolled his eyes. "For a second there, I thought something really important was going to happen."Jenise puckered her lips. "Getting a massage and your nails done is "something really important", especially if you are getting married the next day."Axel rose. "You should tidy up the rest of the invitations. Donald, make sure you send them out, along with the accompanying emails."Claire ruffled through the invitations. "I didn't accidentally put one for Croatia in there, right?""Claire." Axel extended a hand towards her. "Walk with me for a second."She reluctantly took his outstretc

Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart EPILOGUE
“You're still watching that?"Claire looked behind her from where she was curled up like a ball on the sofa. Axel stood by the pillar, his hair dripping wet. He was barechested, and Claire had a full view of his godlike body. It was one she had worshipped the night before, and the memories flooded her head. She felt her face go hot.“Why not?" She blustered. "As much as I am concerned about the trend of animal abuse, I get a kick from watching you tell them off.”Axel scowled at her. "That's a very mean thing to say.” His face brightened instantly. "I'm not complaining, though. Why are you blushing?”Claire touched her red face. He was coming closer to peer at her curiously. She squeezed her eyes shut.“You should put some clothes on."Claire felt the sofa dip where he sat down beside her.“No." His breath tickled her face. “I would rather not." Claire rolled her eyes, but kept them closed. "Fine, whatever.”He grabbed her jaw and roughly pulled her against him. "Look at me.”Her eye

Axel had planned the wedding just like Claire wanted, so they moved on straight to the reception in the same place. The dance floor was cleared for the couple to have their first dance, and open the floor. The orchestra struck up a tune, and Claire put her hands around Axel's shoulder.“I can't stop thinking about them."Axel placed his forehead on hers. “Maybe that's because it's about time we got rid of them. I don't want anyone spoiling your mood.”Claire sighed. “There's a little problem though." He whirled her around before holding her close again. "What is that?”She leaned into his chest. "I am finding it rather difficult to leave the comfort of your arms right now.”Axel grinned. "Then don't. We can go after the dance. Besides, we are making a lot of people jealous here. This isn't a chance you want to pass up.”"I've already put my mark on you." She smiled with belligerence and dug her fingers into his suit. “No one can take you away from me." That cracked Axel up, and he s

Axel stood by the altar, watching the heavenly beauty in white walk down the aisle towards him. His heart was beating erratically, and he found it funny how she still made his heart race after all this time. He made a mental note to thank Jenise for making the most beautiful wedding dress for his woman.With each step she took, he found it increasingly difficult to breathe. She stole his breath away, and she had not even said anything yet. Axel was watching her intently, so he easily caught the shift in her gaze and expression. He looked over at what had crumbled her face, and blinked, twice.“What the hell?"“What is it?" Donald was his best man, and was standing close enough to hear him curse out loud. He followed his line of sight to where Rose McLennie sat, and beside her a woman that looked like her older form. They were both wearing sneers on their faces, sneers that were at that moment directed at Claire.Axel turned to him. “How did they get in?"Donald shrugged. "No one got

"Don't stand me up."Those were Axel's last words as he had left the cafe the previous day. Now, as she stood in her flowing wedding dress, she could not help but wonder if his earnest plea was the reason she had put in this much effort to look beautiful.Myla had done wonders on her hair, packing it all to the back bridal style. Her face popped out at anyone that looked, and Myla was grinning at her over the top of her head.“Wow, Claire, just…wow!”Eric had just stepped into the room, and his eyes filled with tears.“I thought today is supposed to be a happy day." Claire said with a soft smile. “Let's save the tears for later, mm?"Danielle was standing by Claire's side, smiling widely. She had done her makeup, and there could be no other exceptional way to do it. Claire looked perfect, beautifully perfect. He took her hand and kissed it. “You have such gifted hands, Danielle." Jenise peeked out from the closet. "I made the dress, hand me my flowers.”Eric chuckled and pulled out

Axel shrunk under the gaze of the women. He saw the men around him do the same. They had had their bachelor's night out the previous day, and the prank had fallen on him. He couldn't get out of it like he had wanted. Earlier, he had tried dissuading the guys."What if she passes out?"Donald had pushed a mask on to his face. "All the more fun, then.""Tomorrow is the wedding!"Hunter snickered. "The worse thing that could happen is if she leaves you at the altar."From her thunderous expression, Claire looked like she just might. She had been terrified, that much was obvious from how her entire body was still trembling. Her legs gave way, and she fell into a chair and began sobbing again.Axel longed to go over to her and put a comforting arm around her, but the look Danielle was giving him stopped him. She looked ready to burn any male that came within a foot of where the women were huddled together around Claire. Eric was not excluded from the ostracization. He had tried to dissuade
