Blair laughed at his comment. "Since when did you start being so formal with me?" She asked.
He had always been so carefree, seeing that formal side of him felt very new to her. Though she had known him for only some months, she had developed a soft spot for him. He was like a little brother she never had.
She did feel a little sad after realizing that he would not work for her anymore but convinced herself that it would be for the best, especially after he revealed that he was going to be a father.
"I just wanted to express my gratitude." He chuckled, scratching his nape.
"There is no need to. I helped you, you helped me, so we are even." The truth was that she didn't want him to feel burdened. She had helped him a lot but she never felt like she was doing him a favor. She

Raiden locked the door as he left the room. Jessica had moved back to her apartment the same morning. He insisted her to stay for a little longer yet it was impossible to change her mind. Not even 24 hours had passed since she left but he had already started to feel only. He had gotten used to her presence so her sudden absence made him a little melancholic. He laughed at himself after noticing how upset he was. He was definitely being overdramatic. It was not like he would not meet Jessica for the rest of his life. In fact he would probably be seeing her just the next day. "Maybe I should get a roommate, that way I will be less lonely." He chuckled at himself. When he gave it some more thought, he realized that even though his sister had left, he was not alone in that house. There was another person with him. Whom he had hidden. He went to the kitchen with an intention

22 years ago "I'm pregnant." These two words kept running in Byron Chase's head. It was unexpected, a mistake. They had never planned on having a baby together. It was not acceptable. They knew it was wrong, disgusting to say the least. But it was already done. Now they had to think of a way to get out of that mess. "Byron, We cannot let this child come into the world. It has to go, by any means." Britney urged her brother shaking his shoulders. She was aware of his thoughts. He was thinking of keeping the child and she did not want it to happen. "I want to keep it. It is my child." He announced. For a reason which was unknown to him, he was feeling great love and attachment for that unborn soul. One of the biggest reasons could be that because that child was his own blood and flesh, something that he had apart in creating. That would be the first reason anyone could think of, and it was undeniably true. However, that wasn't it. There was one more cau

Calvin pulled a Blair out of her trance by snapping his fingers in front of her face. She placed a hand on her chest out of surprise from his sudden gesture. She did not realize that when had she dived so deep into her thoughts."What are you thinking so hard about?" He asked, placing himself next to her. She could feel the couch sinking from his weight. She let herself lean on his shoulder and he instinctively wrapped and arm around her."So many things are going on, I don't have the energy to process all of it." She confessed, placing an arm around his waist and snuggling her face in his chest. It was the kind of comfort she needed after a long, stressful day.He subconsciously began to caress her hair as he paid attention to her words. That simple gesture made wave of relaxation wash throughout her body."You want to talk about it?" He inquired, threading his fingers through her silky mane. She cl

Blair groaned when she felt a sharp pain shoot up from beneath her abdomen as she sat up on the bed. Memories from the previous night flooded into her brain. She smiled, holding the blanket close to her body. She remembered every detail, every single one of his touch, the way his body felt against hers. He had been so gentle and sweet with her, giving her the best experience of her life. He had worshiped her like a goddess, making her feel like she was at the center of the universe. She felt contented that she had given her first time to him. "Look at you, all blushing." Calvin cooed which caused her to jump in her place. She had not noticed that he was inside the room or had arrived later. She did not know which one. "Were you thinking about me?" He teased with a quirky smile, wiggling his eyebrows up and down. He said on the edge of their bed and patiently waited for her response keeping the broad grin plastered

While everyone around her was busy working and chatting, Blair was packing her bag. She kept all her belongings in her strapped leather bag and zipped it up. She had informed Raiden that she was taking a half day, since she had an appointment with Mr Park. "Oh, Blair? Why are you packing already?" Her coworker inquired with an annoying high-pitched tone. Blair held herself from rolling her eyes. She questioned herself about why did she dislike Alice so much. She guessed it was because the blonde beauty also had her eyes set on their hot boss, Raiden Kingston. But it was in the past. Alice liking Raiden did not bother her now. So why was she still repulsed by her? "Just because she got a rich husband, she thinks she can do whatever she wants."Alice, not so discretely, commented to herself before Blair could get a chance to answer. This time she did not stop herself from scoffing loudly and rolling her eyes.

"There is no fever. It's good." Jessica placed the back of her palm on Aaron's forehead to check his temperature. He had called her the previous night to whine about how he was sick, so that evening, she visited him with some homemade beef stew. "I told you, I am much better than yesterday." Aaron said, putting a spoonful of stew inside his mouth. He blowed on it before the hot liquid burned his tongue and took his time chewing the pieces of meat. "This is delicious, thanks a lot baby." He pecked her cheek and continued to work with the stew. She watched him fondly as he kept blowing on the spoon. "Don't look at me like that. I am getting embarrassed." He said, without looking up from the bowl. She giggled and pulled his cheek, making him yell out a little 'ahhh'. Determined to get his revenge, he pulled her in from behind, causing her back to bump into his chest. Placing a feather kiss on her ear, he whispered, "Be thankful that I like you, or

Wan knew him very well, but Mr Park did not know that Wan knew him and neither did he know Wan. However, he couldn't let Mr Park know that he knew him. If that made sense, because it did to Wan. He had been keeping an eye on Mr Park along with the others, but never had he ever expected that man to show up at his doorstep. Mr Park recognized him from the footage. He was the telephone operator, the guy who would give him receipts against Martha. Also, the guy who had possibly tried to kill Blair himself. "Good evening Mr Wanhoff. Let's have a chat." Mr Park gave him a plastic smile. He invited himself inside and locked the door behind him. Wan watched him with confusion. How did he know his name and what was the reason behind his sudden arrival? 'Did he just lock me inside my own house?' His eyes followed the older man's figure as he let himself sit on the couch. He looked at Wan with a frown, creating creases on his forehead.

"Just to look at him, so handsome." A girl sighed dreamly at the side of the man passing by in the corridor. "Don't be overwhelmed by his appearance. He is a Casanova. Poor Amanda was crying all week after he dumped her. Being heart broken sucks." Her friend commented, warning the naive girl of that man's true intentions. "If it's him, I am ready to get my heart broken." The first girl said with the same amount of admiration in her voice. Her friend shook her head in disappointment. A group of girls giggled loudly when the guy threw them a flirty wink. He even made a gesture of a flying kiss by puckering his lips which sent the girls into a frenzy. "You see that?" The second girl pointed out his frisky behavior to her friend, hoping it would knock some sensibility in her head. "I wish he would do that to me." The latter remarked, causing the former to roll her eyes so hard, she could almost spot her brain back there. Love really is blind. Ki Jun Park adjusted his glasses by pushi

One Way Confrontation
"Why is she calling me at this time?" Calvin wondered when he saw Jessica's name flash on the caller ID. Getting a call from her was already unusual, and on top of it, in middle of the day? He assumed it must be something important. Without wasting any more time, he tapped the green icon and placed the phone near his ear."Get inside!" He flinched when her voice blasted from the other side."Jessica? What is going on?" He inquired. He was pretty sure she was not talking to him. Did she call him by mistake? There were some weird noises from the other side. Muffled sounds, grunts, some commotion. His curiosity rose. Instead of questioning her any further, he kept quiet, putting his attention on what was happening on the call."You like to play, don't you?" It was a man's voice. Gruff and stern. However, that voice did not sound familiar to Calvin. And he did not sound like someone civil with Jessica. Before he could assume anything more, another feminine voice spoke."Stop! You want me,
One Way Defense
Jessica watched intently as Dr. Hill put some disinfectant on a ball of cotton, held it up with a suture scissor and dabbed it on Stephanie’s chest. Jessica helped by pulling her shirt further, near her shoulder, to give the doctor better access to the wound. Stephanie was still like a statue. Surprisingly, the sting was very minimal, much less than the previous time. She remembered the last time she got her wound cleaned. It burned so much, she felt like someone had inserted a flaming rod inside her. She shook her head, wanting to forget that horrible memory, it was one of the main reason why she did not want to visit the hospital. “Does it hut too much?” Jessica inquired with a whisper, noticing the girl’s stiff expression. “Not at all.” She whispered back, putting the former at ease. Just the thought of getting shot sounded terrifying to her. On top of it, the pain that comes with its treatment, the idea made all hairs on her body stand up. In her eyes, she found incredibly brav

"I am just being paranoid." Raiden stated to himself. He gulped down a glass of water, wishing it will come his restless heart. Jessica had texted him saying that they had reached the hospital. 'They would be home in no time. It is not a big deal.' That's what he was trying to convince himself. However, his instinct told him something was not right. He glanced at his watch. The case would resume in half an hour. He had to get his mind off everything else and go through his points once again. Blair had already immersed herself in revising each and every document before they had to face the jury.For time being, everything was going in their favor. They just had to stay consistent and he would walk out of the courtroom with another victory by his name."Mr. Kingston? You seem distracted." Blair observed her boss's lost behavior. It was unusual of him, not paying attention on his work. "Should I get you a coffee?" She asked. "That is no need for that." He waved his hand to dismiss her

"Do you really like my brother?" It would be a lie if Stephanie said she did not expect it. Jessica was like that, nosy and straightforward. At least in Stephanie's eyes. She reminisced the conversation she had with Raiden that same morning."Dr Hill can't come today, so we have to go to the hospital." He informed, keeping his eyes downcasted. Things had been awkward between them since the day he indirected rejected her. In all honesty, she missed him. His face, his voice, his smile, his shabby cooking which she always ate without any complains. She would feel so overwhelmed by his efforts that his bland food did not bother her. She was happy, just by looking at him. His mere presence bought her unexplainable joy.However, now things were not the same as before. The person who provided her comfort, was acting like a complete stranger. And it was all her fault. She was convinced that it was a huge mistake on her side to confess his her feelings when she knew she would get rejected. 'Bu

We should always obey our elders. They know the best. Elders are never wrong. All these things are embodied in our heads since our childhood. We should never expect them to apologize, even when they are in the wrong. That's what we are taught. But, is it always true? In that room, Blair encountered to completely different type of adults."I am so sorry, my dear." Miguel apologized with regretful eyes as Martha stood in the back, keeping her lips zipped and holding on her usual, 'I am disgusted' expression. "All this time, I only thought about myself. How did I became so selfish? I never tried to understand how you must feel. Family is supposed to have each other's back in difficult times, but I left you alone when you needed my support the most. I'm sorry, Blair." He asked for her forgiveness with downcasted eyes.His heart was full of regret. He softly clutched her palm, showing her a grim smile. "It doesn't matter to me. Even if we don't share the same blood, you are still my li

"I really have no idea." Aaron chuckled when Blair gave him a questioning stare. As per Miguel's wish, her and Calvin visited the Andrews mansion. They found Aaron and Mr Park in the living room. However, the older couple was nowhere to be seen. She wondered what could be the reason behind the invitation."They were fighting again. Dad's health is getting worse." Aaron spoke up, out of the blue. Mister Park nodded his head in agreement."Mr Andrews is looking into divorce lawyers." He revealed. "At first I thought it was not that bad because they were attending marriage counseling. But now, things doesn't look that good.""Dad is planning to get a divorce!? Why didn't you tell me?" Aaron exclaimed, feeling disappointed. If he had known everything from the beginning, he could have tried to solve it."I didn't want to hide it from you, but your father asked me not to involve you. I am sorry." The older man apologized.My parents are considering divorce, for fuc- God's sake! How can I not

"Of course I'm fine. Don't worry too much." All right, reach home safely. Blair placed her phone on the center table and streched out her arms. It was strange. Wan had called her late at night it just to ask if she was safe. There was a wierd tremble in his voice, as if he was scared of something. She had to trust him and wait for him to share whatever that was bothering him.She remembered the talk she had earlier with her uncle. She was overjoyed when she saw his caller ID flashing on her phone screen. She had been constantly texting him in hopes to get a chance to explain herself. He never reply to any of her texts. On top of it, with Byron Chase roaming free, it would just create more problems between them. Therefore, his call made her happy, yet surprised.She laid down on the couch and scratched her scalp. After a long day of work, she wanted to have a good rest, still she was up till late as she was waiting for Calvin. He had informed her beforehand that he was going to be late

"Careful!" Raiden exclaimed when he saw Stephanie trying to sit up straight. He rushed to her side and put a couple of pillows behind her back. She laid on the soft pillows and moaned in pain while holding her chest. He instinctively rubbed her back and squeezed her arm to help her cope with the pain."Are you all right? Do you need something?" He asked, still holding her securely. She gulped and looked at him with shy eyes, just to find him staring back at her with eyes full of concern. They stayed in the same position for about 3 seconds before he pulled back and faked a cough. She dropped her eyes back down at her hands."Here, It's time for a medicines." He held out a few pills in his palm and the glass of water in other hand. She mentally gagged at the site of those bitter medicines, but took them anyways. She silently thanked him, avoiding his eyes at all costs. He heaved a deep sigh and sat next to her."Why did you leave? You were aware of what dangers awaited you and yet you

“Breaking News! Byron Chase, who was convicted for assault and murder of multiple women will be released from the prison, today. What could be the reason behind such sudden action? Netizens believe it’s because of attorney Blair Andrews-Cartier being his biological daughter. Blood is thicker than water. Could that be the reason behind Chase’s bail? Will our general public ever be able to trust the state to provide justice?”Britney turned the TV off and breathed in relief. She leaned back on the couch and crossed her legs in an elegant manner. It was finally happening. After waiting for months, her brother was coming home. She could not contain her happiness. For his welcome, she had cleaned up his room, asked the cook to prepare his favourite dishes and got dressed up in her prettiest outfit.She had not seen him ever since he was arrested.
