Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart CHAPTER 35
Lisa was in a very bad mood. She had not expected Axel to suddenly appear in New York, and she certainly had never expected him to whisk her away, today of all days. For a fee that was so inconsequential to her, Lisa got more information from Claire's sister, Rose, than she did when she gave up her life to Leo.Thinking about Leo soured her mood even further. The sly fox had duped her, but she would make him pay. Meanwhile, she was upset because she had imagined all the ways she could torture Claire with the new information she had just received. She knew she must have looked evil, sitting there grinning like a maniac at someone else's misfortune, but she was glad Rose didn't particularly like her sister either.The drive to the office was the sweetest she had ever had. She devised so many ways to hurt Claire, she actually salivated at the thought of doing all those things. She wanted to hold off for as long as she could before breaking the news to Axel and exposing the fraud his newfo

Claire still felt like a truck had run over her. As soon as they reached the penthouse, she fell into the plush sofa, closed her eyes and sighed."Is everything alright, Claire?" Axel asked.She peeked at him from beneath one eyelid. "I just need five minutes."Axel nodded. "I will be in the office with Donald. Give us a shout if you need anything."She closed her eye and nodded, then bolted upright. "But…what work am I going to do?"Donald pointed at a system at the corner. "Since you're so good at reports, why don't you do those? Something about them seems off to me."Claire nodded quietly. Axel walked towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "If the flight wore you out, get some rest."She shook her head and said she was okay. They left her sitting there, staring at their retreating figures. She lay back down after they had disappeared into the office. Claire spent the next five minutes thinking about any and everything that had been going on in her life. She wondered whethe

Axel asked to drive them. The look Donald gave him could have cut him in two, but Axel ignored it and grabbed the keys."What if they shoot at the passenger seat?" Donald whined. "They'll be expecting you there, not me."Axel gave him an icy look and cast a quick glance at Claire. She didn't look worried. If anything, she looked mildly curious. "The workers shoot at you?" Her gaze was fully on Axel."No." He responded with a hard voice."Not yet," Donald corrected in a whisper.Axel glared at him. "Are you trying to scare her off?"Claire smiled. "I'm not goung to stat back just because I hear they might start shooting anytime. After all," she winked at him and opened the door to the front passenger seat, "the bullets are for someone else."In one insane moment of thought, when Claire had winked at him, Axel wanted to grab her roughly and trap her between the car and his body. She had no idea the effect she had on him. She was going to drive him crazy, at this rate. He felt sweaty, a

The drive to the construction site was made in companionable silence. Axel kept sneaking glances at Claire, but she was too lost in her world to notice. Claire was thinking about her past. After her father had committed the worst crime to her body, she had lost all interest in men.Claire never dated in college. She would flirt, yes, at very attractive guys on campus, but she turned down every single one. There were quite a sizeable number of rejections by her sophomore year, but they all learned to just leave the "NO" girl alone. She hadn't cared, anyway. She didn't want to fall in love again, and she certainly didn't want to give anyone an opportunity to hurt her again.Now, this. A blush crept up her cheeks when she remembered how wantonly she had responded under his touch. All he had to do was place just a finger on her, and she forgot all her resolutions. Was it because he was super hot? Was it the arrogance she had once detested making him look sexy? What was it about Axel that m

He peppered her with kisses until she turned to mush in his arms. She immediately melted and let him be the aggressor. He slipped a hand under her skirt and tugged at her panties. He got it out of the way pretty quickly, and dipped a finger into her core. Shock waves of pain and pleasure rocked her frame. She went completely still in his arms."What's wrong Claire?" Axel asked, then gently pulled his hand out and returned her clothes."It hurts."Axel raised his brows. "Oh. Are you…okay?"He was not sure just how to ask her about her past without letting her know he had read her file. She nodded and tried slipping off his lap, but he held her fast. He returned the seats to their normal angles of inclination, and was content with just sitting with her on his laps.Claire worried the top button of his shirt with her fingers."I'm sorry."He closed his eyes. "For?""Not giving you what you want. I'm sorry for leading you on like that."Axel kept his eyes closed, but raised a brow. "Do yo

Lisa just could not sit still. Okay, maybe she had gone a little too far this time, but it was all Claire's fault. The bitch kept pushing her hand. She couldn't just sit still with the thought that Claire was alone with Axel in a foreign country. It had been too easy getting the strike force. She had found out that the workers down there had more than a few grievances against Lyn Corporation, and they were out for blood.All she needed to do was call a friend she had there, an underworld crime boss, and he had promised to take care of it. She had left Claire's description and photos with him, with clear instructions to only take her out. She knew there would be hell to pay if anything happened to Axel, or even Donald.The only problem she discovered too late, was that because Axel liked Claire, he would do anything to protect her, including using his body as a human shield. What was she going to do if he died for Claire? Her friend had assured her his men were very good, but she was st

Lisa knew the moment it was over for her, and that was when she got the call telling her they had changed cars and left everything behind."Listen to me, Mona Lisa.""No, you listen, señor! I put my life on the line to do this. I paid you more money than you have ever been paid. Only for your men to ruin this all for me! You just had to make me call her, so now, everyone knows it was I who sent you!"Lisa yelled for a long time. She needed to get the steam out, so her head would be clear enough for her to think. The crime boss knew it was better to just listen and not say a word. Choosing to help Lisa had automatically made Axel his enemy. He was not about to add her to the list of enemies, because he had experienced her evil firsthand.When she was done talking, he sighed. "Are you done?"She didn't say a word, and he didn't care."I knew we wouldn't get them on the road. Your friend and his assistant are good at getting away. But we can take the lady out of her bed this night."Lisa

Axel woke up a couple of hours later. Claire was sprawled on the bed, fully dressed. He vaguely remembered her pulling on his shirt before she fell asleep. In everything they had done, Claire had not let him enter her. What they had done was an experiment, Claire's way of discovering real pleasure for the first time. She would not let him show her there was more. She seemed too terrified to.Claire's father had hurt her deeply, he realized. It would take years for her to heal from the physical and emotional damages, and even more time for her to let him in. Sure, she pleasured him, but he wanted more. He wanted her heart, and everything that came with it. He pushed her arm slowly off his feet and rose. The house was silent, too silent.He padded down the stairs in only his shorts, silently creeping through until he reached the surveillance room. He glanced in and found Donald and Jubril hunched over the security feed, watching the situation outside with keen interest. Their men were s

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
Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart CHAPTER 131
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
