Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart CHAPTER 15
Lisa had not stayed idle since Axel had sent her away. She had gone to make preparations for Claire's arrival at the company. Her investigator still had not been able to access Claire's file."What's taking so long?" She barked into the phone."You need an insider, someone from the government to grant you access. The person has to be one of the higher-ups."Lisa thought quickly. How lucky was she that her informant had told her Axel was going to Paris? She could hitch a ride with him and get someone to open the files for her. She wore a black dress on purpose. It would be a day of mourning for her, because she would have to give up something she had saved for Axel alone, just to get rid of Claire.Her parents, the Davinsky's, had raised her to not give herself up to any man who was not her husband. It was a very old fashioned way of thinking to Lisa, but in the society she ran with, a pure and untouched lady was more valuable than a harlot. Her parents planned to marry her off as a mai

Axel didn't say anything until Lisa had bade them goodbye and they were the only ones left in the elevator."I did just fine without it all this years too."Donald gave him a sceptical look. "You think I am ever going to fall in love?"Axel shrugged. "You're the one who was surprised when I did. What's going to stop you?"Donald's phone chimed loudly and he took it out of his pocket just as the elevator doors opened again. They got off at the top floor and Donald made sure their luggage had been brought up."You'll have to stay here alone tonight, Ax. Will you be okay?"Axel scowled. "I'm not a baby." He watched Donald scramble out of his outfit into an all black body fitting suit. "Where are you going?""Lisa just left the hotel. I know she didn't come with us to Paris to make up with you. I want to know what she's up to." Axel turned to the window and pulled the shades. "How did you know she has left the hotel?""I can track her phone." He slipped into foam boots that made no sound

Lisa went straight to the hospital from the estate. She felt dirty and used, like a piece of battered rag. The only thing keeping him going was the thought of finally taking her revenge on Claire. As she sat in the crowded emergency room, she thought about all the other people sitting there. Under normal circumstances, she was not even supposed to be at a hospital like this. Too many germs. She called out to a nurse passing by."Could I have a sanitizer, please? I don't want to pick up something here."The nurse regarded her with a cold stare. Her eyes moved from the expensive dress Lisa wore to the limited edition purse to her costly shoes and jewelry. "If you feel like you are better off than anyone here, you should have carried yours."Lisa gasped. "How dare you disrespect me?" She rose in fury. "Do you know who I am?"The attending doctor had come out of his visiting room to call the nurse."What is going on?"Lisa sent him a searing look. "Your nurse just insulted me!"The doct

The days had been pretty quiet for Claire. It had already been a couple of days since the interview, and she found that waiting for the company to get back to her was frustrating."Relax, Claire. You'll get the job, I know it." Danielle was trying out another recipe, and Claire longed to go home and eat her food. She had her tablet on a tablet holder on the counter, so Claire could watch her cook and she could watch Claire bounce off the walls in boredom."But it's taking too long!" Claire whined and flopped down on the love seat. "I think I will come back home." "Home?" Danielle stopped stiring the bubbling stew she was making. "Home is no longer Croatia for you, Claire. It's New York City. I don't want you coming back to all the pain you have gone through here."Claire sat up. "I meant our apartment, D.""Our?" Danielle furrowed her brows. "Last I checked, my roommate has been evicted." She gave Claire a cheeky grin. "Stay where you are, young lady." Claire pouted and fell back o

Leo knew he was in a hotter mess than he could possibly imagine. Lisa had sustained very serious injuries, so she definitely would not give up the file easily. He didn't know what he was going to do. There was no way he was going against a Lysander's orders. But he couldn't take the Davinskys for granted either.Lisa had blown his phone up with calls and messages. He couldn't respond to any of them because he didn't know what to tell her. He had to think, and fast. His phone buzzed with a text and his expression changed when he read it. He excused himself from speaking to the nurse and left for the bathroom.When he got to the male's bathroom, he kicked all the stalls' doors open to make sure no one was hiding behind any of them and pulled his phone out."Has she been following me?""No sir," the voice on the other end responded. "It appears she had just been leaving the hospital when you arrived.""Why didn't you tell me this since?" He snarled. "How long has she been here?""Since y

Axel sat in the plane, staring at an empty spot on the wall. His mind was surprisingly blank, and he did not for once during the entire ride think about work, or anything else for that matter. It disturbed him, this inability to be productive. His pile of work was mounting, and he knew Donald was having a hard time taking care of everything he usually did himself.The file. He glanced across the aisle at Lisa who sat facing his direction. She held a manilla envelope close to her heart and kept grinning like a Cheshire cat. Axel's heart did not ache for her. Granted, she had given too much for what she thought was a means to ruin Claire. Axel wished he would be in the room when she opened the envelope.He wished the most that he would be there the day she found out it was fake, all of it. He would savor her anguish with relish. How dare he go against everything her parents had worked hard for? They had tried everything to make her useful, but all that sincere effort had turned her into

Danielle screamed. The sound made Claire jump, but she joined in on the screaming. Soon, they were both screaming and jumping up and down like little children that had just been given too much sugar.The act reminded Claire of Myla. She stopped jumping."Do you think Myla's been accepted?"Danielle stopped screaming too. "That's true. Oh dear, you should call her."Claire's phone buzzed with a text. "It's her! She's in, she's in!"And so began another screaming match. "I'm so happy for you Claire.""I'm so happy too!" Claire cried. "I waited and waited. I nearly lost my mind.""I still can't believe this."Claire rolled her eyes. "You're the one who expressed so much confidence in my ability." She turned back to the email. "Should I read it to you?""Pleaseeeee."Claire laughed. "Easy, D. I can literally see your tail wagging." She opened the mail and began reading.Dear Miss McLennie,With reference to your application to work at our company, this letter is to inform you of your appo

Lisa went straight for the bathrooms when she entered the company. The pain in her pelvis was excruciating, and something was pounding down there. "Ugh, blood."She was bleeding again. She hated the sight of blood. It usually meant she would need to go to the hospital. She pulled out a pad from her bag, which she had thankfully remembered to pack, and put it on."That should stem the flow for a while." She whispered to herself.She looked a mess, and she knew it. There were dark circles under her eyes, from the lack of sleep the previous night. She also needed pain meds, she was fast running out.All of this was Claire's fault. If she had just stayed in Creek Falls, none of this would have happened. Lisa slammed the water closet shut and sat on the lid. She was tired, both physically and mentally. She needed a break, and fast. When she rested, she would take the file back to her investigator and use it against Claire.Did Axel think she would let Claire work at the company? Ha! In hi

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

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

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

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
