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
"Tell me, Katty, why did you bring me here? Aren't we going to do summer work together at your house?"Blair Tanzel looked at her best friend suspiciously. They were standing at the entrance of a hotel that had just opened two days ago.Katty spread her arms desperately. "Who knows. I… I was just trying to help you.""Help me? By taking me to the hotel? What for?" Blair doesn't like it anymore. She demands an explanation."Okay! I could never lie to you." Katty took a deep breath. "I'm not sure this idea will work either. But, he forced me to do it.""He?" Blair's arms crossed over her chest. "Who do you mean?"Katty puffed out her cheeks. "Andrew, he wants to surprise you.""Andrew?""Yes, Andrew White, your boyfriend. He asked me to bring you here and will give you a surprise to celebrate your 6 month anniversary."There was both joy and surprise on Blair's face. "If it's a surprise, why did you tell me?" Blair's tone began to soften.Katty rolled her eyes. "Oh, I don't know. As I r
"I saw you being hugged and groped by Damian a few days ago. I didn't see you trying to stop him." Andrew hissed right in Blair's face.Blair looked fed up. "Damian is just a friend to me. We don't have any relationship. Sometimes he does joke out loud, but that's what he does to almost all of his friends. And I've only had sex with you this whole time, only with you since that surprise night!" Blair shouted desperately.Andrew paused and looked at Blair in surprise. "Surprise night? Tch! You didn't even come to me that night! I did it with another girl!""W-what do you mean, Andrew?""Yes, we did do it the following nights at your house when your mother worked nights. But, on a surprise night two months ago, you didn't show up, and I took my frustration out on another girl!"Blair felt weak for a moment. "On another girl?" Blair repeated Andrew's words. She just realized that her lover was not really loyal to her."Then what do you expect from me?" continued Andrew. "I'm not even sur
"How did you do that?" Mother's voice hung in the air and was unfinished. "How could you do this to me? How dare you, Blair!"The mother stood up from the chair. She placed one hand on her waist and the other on her throbbing forehead."Mom," Blair whispered frantically.She watched her mother pacing around the dinner table without Blair being able to stop her. "This was just an accident. We didn't do it on purpose. It was just a mistake."Blair's excuse immediately made her mother stop. She turned to Blair with a pair of eyes wide open, filled with anger."This wasn't an accident! It was a mistake, yes, my fault for trusting too much and setting you free. But it's also your fault because you never listen to my words! Why did I raise and give birth to you so hard? Why am I defending your life to have to work so hard? And now you betray me? You have betrayed me!" her mother shouted hysterically."Mom," Blair pleaded. She couldn't believe her mother would be so angry. Blair was sure her
A few weeks later, Blair left the small town where she and her mother had lived all this time. She could take nothing with her besides the clothes attached to her body and the baby in her womb.It was nearing the end of autumn. Blair traveled from one city and town to another. She would only stay in one place for no more than three days.She completely stayed away from the town where her mother and friends lived. She didn't want to be recognized by anyone."I'm now officially homeless and a pregnant teenager," Blair muttered as she snuggled against one of the closed storefronts.She didn't know where she was at the moment. She had just crossed a state where there were still a lot of forests there. She took a truck transporting staples until she arrived at the rest area.After thanking the truck driver, Blair pretended to enter a supermarket not far from the gas station. Blair bought mineral water and some snacks for a low price. She had to save her meager savings.Since becoming homel
Blair tried to run away as fast as her feet could walk."I don't want to get involved in any trouble. I didn't see it. I have to get out of here."Blair had lost too much energy that day from nausea and vomiting too often. She hadn't even eaten the bread and water she had just bought from the convenience store. Just when she thought she had stepped away and headed for the highway to seek help, a man was suddenly blocking her with a dagger in hand."Hey, little girl!" said the man while carrying a dagger still covered in blood. "What are you doing here alone at this time of night?"Blair could only look down to hide her face. They were indeed in a dark area with no lighting. However, a few flashes from the passing vehicles were enough for Blair to see that the dagger was undoubtedly covered in blood.She was terrified and didn't know what to say. Right now, the only thing she could do was be honest. Blair hoped that honesty would save her."I'm just homeless," Blair said quietly."Is t
Blair jolted awake as if waking from a long dream when she opened her eyes. Blair felt her body hurt all over the place. She couldn't even move her hands freely. Blair glanced at her tingling hand. "Where am I?" Blair thought, trying to sit up straight. "Are you awake, Miss? Can you hear my voice?" A nurse suddenly approached and checked Blair's pulse and the pupils in her eyes. Blair felt uncomfortable and scared. She brushed off the nurse's hand and inched away. "Tell me, where am I? What happened to me? And the wolf? Then what about the two men in the rest area?" The image of pieces of skin and flesh torn apart by a huge wolf instantly made Blair nauseous. She could still clearly see the pained face of the man pointing the dagger at her. The nurse tried to calm down when she heard Blair's jumpy and incoherent statement. The nurse was aware of the condition of the patient, who had just woken up from fainting and was traumatized by accident. "Take a bed, Miss. Your condition has
Blair was sick of hearing the whispers and tone of the stranger's voice. She was also disgusted by his condescending and belittling gaze. Blair was sick of all the boys who just wanted her body.Unknowingly, Blair had pushed the man, almost tumbling down the stairs. The underground station is deserted. Blair panicked. She almost screamed when she realized what she had done could result in the man being injured if he did fall down the stairs.Fortunately, the man soon controlled himself. He didn't roll to the bottom of the stairs where he might break his bones. Only the man's violin fell, and he was furious. The man immediately got up to take his violin and headed towards Blair, still frozen with a pale face."Damn little bitch!" cursed the man. "You have ruined my only violin. You have to take responsibility. No matter what happens, you have to pay for it with your body tonight."Holding his broken violin tightly, the man glanced around at the empty state of the station. Blair became

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
