Blair heard the door that slammed closed. She was sure that Axel had only left home. The girl immediately headed to the balcony and saw Axel playing along the beach."Sports when cold like this?" Blair suddenly hugged her own body, imagining the cold feeling.The girl immediately ran down the stairs to the house's side yard. The yard should be overgrown with grass and beautiful flowers during spring or hot. Blair can't wait for it.She bowed, looking for a ring that Axel had thrown to the page. She brushed the gravel and glared at the surface of the ground very carefully."If I can sell the diamond ring, at least I can reduce my utmost to him." Blair is very excited."What are you doing?" Axel reprimanded.Blair jumped in surprise. She almost kneels on the ground surface. Blair thought that Axel would return slower."What are you doing?" Axel repeated his question harder."There isn't any!" Blair answered while shaking her head quickly. She rose again and wiped dirt from the buttocks
Axel couldn't have attended the invitation to the film's magazine launch. Because it was an invitation from Louis Barney, his half-brother.Axel drove the car until he arrived at a building functioning as a film magazine launch. He handed the car keys to a bellboy and rushed into the event location.Just before the bellboy opened the door and was about to drive the car to the parking lot, Blair suddenly appeared from the backseat. The bellboy was surprised to see a woman still in the vehicle's backseat.Blair grinned and explained briefly to the bellboy. "Yes, my Boss was so hurried that he left me here. Sorry for startling you. Please take care of the car. I'll follow Boss inside," Blair said nervously. She was afraid that her lies would be exposed.Since the afternoon, Blair pretended to enter and locked herself in the room. But actually, she sneaked into the garage and got into Axel's car. During the drive to where the party was taking place, Blair tried to keep herself hidden in t
"Axel?"They all looked back and saw Clarissa in her elegant white dress. Clarissa approached Axel and grabbed the man's arm, but Axel refused and brushed it off."Sorry, Clarissa. There is a misunderstanding between us. I want to clear up the rumors circulating in the media right now about our engagement. I have never considered you my lover, let alone accepted you as my fiancé. All of that is just my mother's opinion and your assumptions. I wanted to be polite to you all this time."Clarissa's face was red with anger and embarrassment. Her chest heaved up and down with difficulty breathing."After all, you already have Louis," Axel said, glancing at his half-brother. "You know how much Louis loves you? You two are a perfect match." Axel raised the corners of his lips haughtily."So," Clarissa's voice trembled. "Is it because of him? Because he loves me?" The woman immediately turned to Louis, who was still between them."Hey, Louise. Are you in love with me? Do you love me?" she sna
The next morning before breakfast, Blair handed Axel a piece of paper."What's this?" asked Axel. "Instead of serving breakfast, you gave me a piece of paper instead?"Blair sat at the dining table across from Axel. She smiled broadly. "Because this is a contract marriage, we need a contract letter. The paper you are holding right now is the agreement I made."Axel was a little surprised because he didn't think that Blair would accept his proposal of a contract marriage. Before Axel could read the clause in Blair's contract, the girl had already taken the contract back.Blair couldn't wait. She started reading out the critical points in the contract agreement she had made."First, you must respect privacy by removing the bodyguards who will continue to guard me and this house. Second, there is no physical contact. Thirdly, this marriage lasts no more than three months."Blair fell silent. At least she has time until she can't hide her pregnancy anymore. Three months is a critical time
Louis Barney visits Axel's office when Axel is busy with work. Louis just walked in without even making an appointment first."I told you to-," Axel said without taking his eyes off the documents he was checking when he heard someone step inside. Axel thought it was one of the staff or his assistant."Why are you so busy before your wedding day, Bro?" said Louis with a bright and wide smile.Hearing and seeing Louis' whereabouts, Axel immediately felt sick. He closed the documents and put them away. Axel rose from the chair and raised both hands to say, 'Why did you come here? Is it to annoy me?'"Oh, come on, my beloved brother. I hear you're getting married. Why are you still busying yourself in your office? Shouldn't you be going to the salon to prepare yourself as well as possible before the wedding ceremony?"Louis handed Axel a small bag filled with gifts. "By the way, this is a wedding gift for you. I gave it earlier because I worried you wouldn't invite me for that exceptional
Blair mops the living room floor while cooking. The girl really demanded to work hard to exhaustion. Annoyed, she threw down the mop and stretched out on the floor. Moments later, she stamped her feet on the floor, grunting."Why do I have to do all this work alone? I'm pregnant. I don't even have time for myself. Damn it! Why should I be made a maid in this house? I can not take it anymore! Should I admit my pregnancy so he let me go? Or else he will ask me to get rid of this baby?"As the thought crossed her mind, Blair started to freak out. She hugged her belly, which was beginning to bulge a little."No! That can't be happening. He must not touch this baby."Ding. Dong.Blair turned toward the door and muttered, "Who was there at this hour? Supposedly, Axel nor I have guests."Ding. Dong.The doorbell rang again.With great difficulty, Blair got up from the floor and walked toward the door. Still, with her apron on, she opened the door slightly without removing the chain."Who is
Blair's face immediately lit up when she learned Axel overheard all her conversations with Celine. Blair didn't even have any intention of disclosing her pregnancy secret. She admitted being pregnant in front of Celine, only to bully her. To keep Celine from bothering Blair again. Apparently, Blair's plan was taken seriously by Celine and also heard by Axel."Tell me, Blair," Axel said in a severe and slightly sharp tone. "Are you really pregnant?"Blair looked at Axel and blinked twice. She meant to tell Axel that lying to Celine was just an act. But Axel doesn't understand the meaning of Blair's wink.'If I say it was just an act, then Celine will trample on my pride even more and kick me out at all costs. But, if I said I was pregnant, I don't know what Axel would do. Even though I do get pregnant.’"You didn't know this girl was pregnant?" Celine's voice caught Axel's attention.They faced each other with tense faces.“Please, you guys, calm down!” Blair asked. "I did keep this pr
When Axel got up in the morning and went to the kitchen to get some water, he saw a note stuck to the refrigerator door. Quickly, Axel grabbed the letter written by Blair. He read it, then crumpled the paper into a wad before tossing it in the trash."You think you can get past me, Blair? Especially after I found out that you're pregnant. You… can't just walk away."Blair hails a taxi to take her away from the beach house. The girl left the house when the sun had not even risen. She was still sleepy and fell asleep in the back seat of the taxi."Miss, we have arrived."Blair, who had been sleeping soundly, finally woke up. She was still semi-conscious when she asked the taxi driver how much she owed the bill."Do I need to take your things inside?"Blair began to sit up straight. She rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. "Where are you taking me?""As you requested. We have arrived at the hotel for tourists. Are you going on vacation? You carry very few bags."Her pregnancy made
A middle-aged woman was cleaning a restaurant table after the last customer left. Her face looked tired. But she is still so passionate about work.The door is open."Sorry, we're closed!" said the restaurant worker without turning around and wiping the table.A lovely and adorable three-year-old little girl walked up to her.The woman stopped wiping the table. She was shocked and amazed by the beauty of the girl."Hey, dear! You came with your parents?" The woman turned to the door and saw no one.She knelt in front of the toddler to align her position."You came alone? What's your name? Our restaurant is closed. Do you need help?"The three-year-old little girl whose curly hair was in two pigtails just smiled. "Angelica… my name is Angelie!""Oh, what a beautiful name! Where is your mom?""Grandma!" said the girl innocently. "Grandma!" she repeated one more time.The woman was stunned and stared at the little girl for a long time. "Did you come with your grandmother? Where is she? A
Blair managed to escape from Axel's arms without dropping her pride. She breathed a sigh of relief after shooing the man away. No more Axel's voice screaming or knocking on the door.Blair is back busy with work and activities caring for Angelie.A few hours later, Blair went to the front door and opened it. She peeked into the courtyard and didn't see Axel anywhere.There is a sense of regret and loss in her little heart. But Blair trying to get rid of all those worries and refocus on her current life.Moment Blair was about to close the door again, and the corner of her eye caught a flicker of movement that disturbed her. Blair came out and walked towards the side yard. She was surprised when saw Axel lying curled up on the swing."Goddes, what is he doing there? Really stubborn. Why doesn't he leave too?"Blair was again annoyed and slammed the door shut tightly.Blair went to check on her daughter on the second floor. The little baby was fast asleep. Blair keeps watch over her. Sh
Axel returned to the beach house and ran in a hurry. He opened the unlocked door of the house and shouted the name Blair."Blair! Blair, Where are you?"Axel couldn't find Blair anywhere."Angelica? This is Papa!"Axel ran to the second floor."Angelie? Where are you? Blair?"The house is entirely empty. Axel couldn't find Blair and his daughter was everywhere.Axel was desperate to go to the Blair’s room. The place was also empty. He looked into another room and saw a nursery. Axel's steps slowed when he saw lots of baby equipment there.Axel knelt in front of the cot. He picked up one of his daughter's little knit shoes and kissed it through tears."Where are you guys? Did something bad happen to Angelie? Where should I look for you guys?"Axel didn't know where else to go. He went back out and stood in the yard restlessly. He dropped his backpack on the ground and stood there in despair.Blair just came back from the beach, holding Angelie in her arms. She walked casually while cha
Blair took a walk along the beach with her little daughter. She put Angelie in the stroller. Blair continued to tell stories while showing many things to Angelie."I'm sorry, Angelie. At this time, I'm really sorry for not being able to give you a father you can be proud of in front of your friends someday."Blair Kneeled in front of the stroller while looking into the baby's clear eyes. Angelie smiled cheerfully while occasionally putting her hand to her mouth. Blair stretched out her forefinger to caress Angelie's cheek. The little baby grabbed Blair’s finger and held it tight."I really miss my mom at a time like this. What is she doing now? Is she well there? How hard it feels to have to raise a child alone without the support of a husband and family. I know how angry my mom was that night when she found out I was pregnant. I could understand if she kicked me out of the house. I really deserve it. Mom should have been angry and hated me.""Oh, Angelie… I really miss your grandma.
Blair comes home to her lonely and dark house.The first place she came was Axel's former room. She opened the bedroom door slowly. In her little heart, Blair wished for a miracle."What am I doing here? There's no way he'd just suddenly appear here. I don't even know where he is right now. After I rejected his proposal, he just walked away, leaving everything."Blair will close the door of Axel's empty room again. Then her gaze stopped on the large portrait of Axel still hanging on the wall. Axel is shirtless and poses so alluringly in the photo."That photo is the only thing that remains." Blair considered how proud Axel was of that photo.That's when Blair really started to feel lonely. She brushed aside the sweet memories of Axel and quickly closed his bedroom door again.Blair rushed to Angelie's room. The little girl is the only solace for loneliness Blair At the moment.***Louis went to the pack. Axel has left everything–the company and the pack to him. All the pack members we
Six months later…"You don't have to bring me flowers and toys for Angelie whenever you come here, Louis."Blair invites Louis into the beach house that is now her. Louis sat in the living room. He glanced at the stroller where the baby was laying the fast-asleep there."You seem to like flowers. And I don't mind if I had to buy more toys for Angelie, either. Look at her sleeping so soundly. This little girl is growing up so fast."Blair brought Louis a drink."I'm sorry this house is a mess. Because I have to do everything myself, including caring for Angelie.""You always turn down my offers to give Angelie a sitter.""It's okay, Louis. I don't want to lose precious moments accompanying my daughter's golden growth years.""Oh, I came here to tell you that we have already selected a director for the film we will produce.""Is it true? That's good.""We have also considered using actor Leonardo as the main character. He's expensive, but the risk would be less if we used a famous actor
The lawyer read out the contents of the second will."Sir Baviaan Barney said that Mr Axel could choose between the first or second will. Mr Axel can also refuse an arranged marriage with Miss Clarissa Jordan. However, he should be able to find another mate that has been destinated for him in the second will.""What?" Celine and Louis were utterly shocked. "What do you mean by another mate that has been destinated? How many mates are destined for Axel?""Mr Axel is fated to be the mate of two girls. The first girl was indeed Miss Clarissa Jordan. The second girl is the daughter of a woman who was once loved by Mr Baviaan Barney.""Nonsense!" Celine shouted.The lawyer told everything to Celine and Louis, witnessed by Carlos."Sir Baviaan Barney has the first love of mankind. Right before he married Axel's mother. Since this woman is from the human race, then Mr Baviaan Barney can't continue the relationship. He also chose to marry a mate destined for him to give birth to Mr Axel."Cel
Celine and Louis were already waiting at the notary's office appointed by Mr. Baviaan Barney. They gathered there to listen to the reading of the will by the lawyer."Why don't we just get started?" she said. "We've been waiting here long enough."The notary cleared his throat. Several times he glanced at the door and also the watch."Mr. Axel hasn't come yet. I cannot read this will if all the members concerned are not present.""He's not coming," cried Louis. "He has given up and realized his position will not be able to get leadership in the company. Axel has failed to fulfil his will."Someone opens the door. Everyone in the notary's room was shocked. They thought it was Axel who came.As soon as they saw Carlos enter the room, they breathed a sigh of relief, except for the notary."Where is Mr. Axel?" asked the notary."Mr. Axel is on his way here. Isn't the deadline for fulfilling the will until midnight tonight?"The notary was nervous. "Yes, right. We still have about two hour
A month passed after the disclosure of the contract marriage status Blair and Axel. During that time, the coverage in the media was getting stronger. Various rumours and slander continued to emerge.The condition of the company under Axel's leadership is increasingly experiencing shocks. Losses are constantly occurring. Other projects held by Axel are also falling and abandoned by their investors. The artist management company began to be abandoned.That morning, Blair woke up feeling so lonely and uncomfortable. All night, she was busy preparing all the equipment for childbirth."I should have given birth right on my 18th birthday. However, there has been no sign of contraction until now."And on that very day, Axel's future will be determined. His father’s will was due that day. Axel would inherit the entire Barney‘s company or vice versa, he would be kicked out of the company and his position replaced by Louis.Blair gets out of the room. She felt an eerie silence.Her belly is so
