2021-02-23 17:55:23'Love can thaw what hatred has congealed', my mother always said.
All the things that happened with Hunter in the past had filled him with hatred, turning him cold and heartless. If I had to bring his better self back, I would have to thaw his frozen heart. Yup, just like Anna and Kristoff from Frozen. But nope, a simple true love's kiss won't work in this case. It'll be a long hair-pulling, teeth-gritting and foot-stomping process.
“Take off your shirt,” I said for the third time.
“No.”
“How am I supposed to treat you otherwise?”
He took a hold of his sleeve and gave a hard tug, the fabric coming off with a ripping sound as his physiognomy turned into a smug.
My lips tilted into a smirk, “Is Hunter King shy?” I wiggled my eyebrows at him.
His facial feature turned stony in a matter of seconds. “Four minutes.”

I stared at his forest green eyes which were glaring at me in return. "Why, Caleb?""I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything," he said diverting his gaze away from me."Don't lie. You were the last one to have my laptop," I pressed."I told you I didn't d-""The file didn't disappear itself," I cut him off. I was getting frustrated over this. I checked my laptop just before I left it to him, and the file was still there. It only disappeared after I got it back from him."It did!" he snapped. "Because of your carelessness. I wonder why the boss would keep such a useless fool in the job," he spat out, giving me a disgusted look from head to toe.My blood boiled. "What the hell is your problem?

I stood at the entrance of my room flabbergasted as my eyes scanned the five suitcases that had been packed for me. I averted my gaze to the pack of weird creatures sprawled on my bed exhausted from their weird activity.Since I was busy at work, and Hunter refused to give me another day-off I asked my beloved crew consisting Karen, Anna and Beth to pack for me with Donna's help. Yes, Anna and Beth had been introduced to Karen, and she instantly formed a gang of us.Noticing me Donna immediately pointed a finger at the other three miscreants."Are you guys going as well?" I asked.Beth lifted her head a bit from her awkward lying position, "No? You're going.""You mean all these bags are mine?" I asked pointing at the suitcases, eyebrows raised.Karen sat up with a duh face, "Of course! After all, you're going to your honeymoon,

My hands shot up clasping my head. "Ahh... My brain hurts!""Oh ma'a- I mean Ember, you got a brain freeze. J-Just wait here. I'll be right back." Her footsteps fade away."Duhmm...!" I moaned in pain when another deep voice startled me."What happened here?"I looked up and found those fascinating sea-green eyes scanning me all over, hints of worry visible in between his brows.Was Hunter King worried? For me?"She ate a li'l too much ice cream and got a brain freeze, sir," Megan spoke, hurrying towards me and handing me a warm mug. "Here.

Knock knock..."Mr. King Jr.! Ember, darling! Aren't you awake yet?"Our eyes went wide. Hunter flipped us over untangling the blanket and got up pushing me off him. Letting out a sigh of relief I got up as well. I forgot I had morning breath that certainly didn't smell like fresh mint as him.Peeking from the door I saw a familiar face. "Mrs. Arthur!""Oh, Ember, darling!" She wrapped her hands around me in a bone-crushing hug. "So nice to see you again." Letting go she looked at us both lovingly. "Awe, look at you two love birds! Wearing his clothes."I looked down at my over-sized garments. "I uh- I actual-""Oh dear, no need to give me excuses. I can see you're blushing.

The day was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze blowing. The breathtaking view of Paris from here as we sat at the breakfast table sipping on tea in our private terrace was kindling various fantasies in my mind. Wait, wait. Let me stop you right there, for it was no romantic time-spending of a married couple but a pressurized working hour of a CEO and his assistant. Yup, he was making me work on such a lovely day.Moving my eyes from the boring papers of a file I looked up and stretched letting out a moan. He, however, ignored my existence as his eyes were glued to his laptop screen. I tried my luck once again squirming in my chair and letting out long sighs."Do you have any problem?" he responded without looking up."Hunt-""Sir," he cut me off.Oh, so that's how he wanted to do it. "Sir, can I go use the washroom?""Yes.

Everything was good until the night came up. After dinner I fell asleep waiting, but Hunter never got back in our suite.In the morning I woke up from the sound of the door opening, and he came inside. The first thing that caught my eyes were his disheveled clothes. Without sparing me a glance he strode straight inside the bathroom.Minutes after I started pacing around the room worried, he stepped out of the washroom fresh and ordered. I was going to ask about his previous condition, but someone knocked on the door."Room service!"I frowned. "I didn't order anything," I muttered.Walking past me Hunter opened the door."Here's your ordered phone, sir, and," the boy extended out a black envelope, "this letter was sent to you."Phone? A new one? What happened to his old one?Closing the

The liquid got caught in my throat, and a fit of coughs left my mouth. I felt someone rubbing my back. I looked back expecting the sea-green eyes and an icy cold scolding instead met with two piercing gray eyes."I deeply apologize for my interruption between you and your drink," he said in a smooth velvety voice."Mr. Christian Delgado... It's alright." I gave a small smile."Call me Christian, please."I nodded."Well, may I know why such a beautiful lady sitting alone on such a beautiful evening?" He sat on a stool beside me looking quite interested.The previous events crossed my mind making my heart squeeze once more. No, I'm not going to think about him."I just got tired from dancing.""Oh no! My hope is crushed.""What do you mean?" I frowned."I've

Seven years later~Warmth glided over my skin, drawing me out of sleepland. I squinted my eyes to block the sun from directly hitting my irises. Grunting, I turned over only to discover the other half of the bed to be empty. I frowned and sat up, my eyes landed on the digital clock on the bedside table.11:17 am.Huh? I overslept. Why didn't he wake m- A sudden, intense urge to vomit rose up my throat. Slapping a hand over my mouth, I ran to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet. Clearing my stomach of the remaining of last night's dinner, I straightened up, and a mild dizziness rocked the world around me. My hand pressed on the cold tiled wall beside me until the feeling passed.Walking to the basin, I splashed water over my face and looked at myself in the mirror. My hand unconsciously drove down to my flat stomach, and a smile took over my lip
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Epilogue
A warm, buttery aroma with a splash of citrus wafted through my nose as we smeared icing and wrapped edible sheets around the four-story cake, topping it up with esculent red laces, rose petals, and finally a cute pair of tiny bride and groom. Proud we stepped back and observed the masterpiece we two expert ladies made. "It's perfect," I gushed, glancing at my mom and bursting out in laughter as traces of shortening decorated her rosy cheeks giving her a look of a curious kid. "You got some..." I pointed at her face cackling more. "You should see your face, darling," she smugged. Widening my eyes I turned back observing myself in the glass door that separated the kitchen from the shop and gasped as bits of the white coating laced my nose as well. As I looked back both our frames shook from mirth and fueling it appeared dad showered in cake mix.

"Ready, love?" the ethereal voice of my husband reached my ears, and I looked up, my expression brighter than the morning sun.Finally the day arrived when I could leave these bleak walls of white and blue and go back to my sweet heaven. It'd been three weeks, and my mind was already going bananas."Yes. Please, take me home already."The corners of his lips slightly raised in his rare smile as he extended his hands. Taking them I carefully alighted my legs as my feet touched the cold floor and propped on them. A faint ache still gnawed at the spot, but the feeling of elation dominated all."Are you sure you can walk?"Flashing my overprotective hubby with a hearty smile I got on my tippi-toes and planted a peck on his warm lips. "I can. Now let's go."Immediately he leaned down pressing his lips back on mine in a lingering kiss as a warm fe

Everything seemed to slow down as I watched the spark alighting off the tiny muzzle hole, smoke arising after it, and like a wave of energy it hit me throwing me off my feet as I flew some inches behind, my body colliding into a hard yet warm one. Two protective arms wrapped around me lowering my body to the ground."Ember..." his deep alarmed voice reached my ears, and I glanced at his pained gaze growing anxious. Did the bullet hit him? I was sure it didn't hit me for I felt no piercing pain like a tiny metal tearing through the flesh but numb. All I felt was numb down in the torso.My eyes traveled forward where the pretty redhead officer had Vienna pinned as she struggled. And then my gaze fell on my tummy, the white top painted into a new color. Red, and it was spreading. A burning sensation began to rise in the spot though I wasn't sure if it was from my imagination or from...

"Ember, darling. Now what shall we do with you? I can't simply allow my brother to have any means of happiness in his life." He glanced up brooding, a finger tapping his lip. "Oh wait, I know." He strode closer to Hunter and leaned down. "How about I give you a demo of how I dispatched our mother, huh little brother? Hmm... That'll be fun.""Wh-What do you mean?" Gulping I glanced at Hunter who looked like he was lost in his own world and wasn't coming back anytime sooner."Come on, boys. Bring her here.""Nonono. Hunter! Ah, noo! Hunter!" I screamed and thrashed against their hold but in vain as they dragged me towards the steep hill. I dug my toes in the soil in an attempt to obstruct them yet luck didn't support me, and the guards pushed me right on Christian's arms.The pure disdain that ran through my veins against him, scorched the skin

Darkness began to lighten, and once again my eyes fluttered open, sharp malign pain continued to bug my head. I scanned around, and this time I was tied in the back of a van.What the heck were those two specimens of demon doing?Startling me the doors of the van jerked open, and unintentionally I cowered back a bit as two men stood before me with Christian behind them.With a motion of his finger the men approached me and I began squirming. "Don't touch me! No! Mmngng..." A hand wrapped around my mouth and the others began untying my hands and legs. I yelped as one of them yanked me by the hair and set me on the ground outside the infernal van.I scanned the surrounding only to witness endless rows of trees until my eyes landed on the traitorous baboon, and I advanced towards him, clutching his collars in my fists. "You! How could you have d

My senses began to sharpen, and whispers tingled my ears. My eyes fluttered open only to shut back from a blinding light. A groan left my mouth as my head felt heavy like it was made of concrete. I lifted my hand up but nothing happened. I tried again yet it didn't budge from behind me. What was going on? Ignoring the shooting ache in my head and body, I frantically surveyed my circumambient, my vision blurry. From the look of it, I was bound to a chair in the same room I fainted, this time a bulb above me illuminated my surroundings better. Patches of blood stains occupied the roof and the walls, and a sharp metallic stench hit my nose causing a bile to rise. I didn't even wanna think about what happened here before. Wait... "Caleb!" "E-Ember, a-are you ok?" My head whipped to the direction, at the far dark corner.

I let out a relieved sigh, realizing my promise to Karen was finally kept, and more importantly, I was seeing my life getting back together just the way I had always dreamed. Hunter, by some miracle, changed drastically, acting all loving and caring, taking me shopping and buying loads of clothes, overlooking my protests. He even took me to a minikin ice cream date.Right now we sat outside an ice skating rink which he rented for the day just for us, and I decided to ruin his plan by inviting Liliana, Matt, Beth and Lea which he wasn't much pleased about. Therefore he sat there with a grouchy face while I enjoyed the fanciful skating session of the charming couples.Beth and Lea just skated around, hand in hand while holding Ana's hand, Matt spun her around like a pro. Then holding her from behind he lifted her and spun himself, Ana doing a perfect landing at the end with his support.

Stepping out of the building I marched to him stopping a couple feet away. Hunter straightened up, and the crowd parted as he strode towards me, my breathing hitching at my throat. His suit which I had been considering as his second skin all this time was gone and replaced with a V neck white shirt topped with a dark leather jacket and denim jeans."I'm glad you came." He lifted my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the back."I hope I don't regret it," I said as lights flashed around us and people whispered but nothing bothered me for the heart drumming against my chest sounded louder.The corners of his rosy lips quirked up into a smile. Not a ghost of a smile nor an arrogant smirk but an actual genuine smile even though tiny which just made him a thousand times hotter than before. "I assure you won't. Come." He gently tugged me to his car and opened the door fo
