We still can't take off because Blade insists on holding me with him.
He snatched my hand from his back and tugged it to the front to tighten it around his waist.
"If you don't hold on to me, you might fall."
I can feel the surge of my blood accumulating on my cheeks now. It feels so hot so I'm sure they're turning like rotten tomatoes again.
I hope Blade doesn't look back because he can see this is how it affected me. I know I'm wearing a helmet now and he might not notice but I won't be able to handle it when he turns around.
Because we're just like the ones I watch in movies.
It doesn't happen to me every day.
"Are you still alive there?" Blade asked, and when I saw him turn around I immediately nodded to stop him.
"I-I'm fine..." I find it hard to speak because of my increased heart rate and rapid breathing.
"Move a little closer to me Crystal, you might be flown away. Don't act like you're strong because yo
"Are you that thankful? You hugged me before, maybe you want release me?" I instantly unwrapped my arms and step away from him. I ran my finger through my hair that got messy when I removed the helmet. I just peered at the ground as I couldn't lift my gazes to Blade because of what he said. "Look at me." My hand seemed to stiffen stuck in fixing my hair because of what he uttered. I pressed my lips together as I slowly raise my eyes to him. "Are you blushing?" Blade snickered. He even brought up his crumple fist to block his mouth. "I am not." I looked away from him again and just gawked at the parked motor. "Come on, I was just kidding. Look at me." I still didn't give a glance to him. I don’t understand what these nasty little ones inside my stomach are doing that cause my heart to beat rapidly. "Alright, just— try to look around you." Only then did he get my attention again
"Self-defense?""To avoid getting hurt or slapped. You have to be able to protect yourself. You must be stronger." Blade said as he tied the black belt around his core."Okay..."Both of us are now wearing karate uniforms. I forgot what does it called, but as far as I recall, this white jacket is called 'uwagi'."Don't you think this self-defense tutorial is kind of— OA?"I am wearing a black one with three stripes, white, black, and red.Blade is wearing a blue and black belt.Did he mean the two of us would fight?With that size of his body, will he really fight a skinny stick like me?Blade's hand quickly moved to the side of my head that made me instantly close my eyes and lay back. I even felt the slight movement of my hair due to the wind it caused."Wait! Why are you attacking me!?" I shouted in shock."I'm teaching you self-defense Crystal." He said as if he didn't mind what he did
I have been here for three months living in Noah's house. I’ve also learned a lot from Blade’s day-to-day teaching me how to protect myself. Many times I have almost lost my life because of our training. There was once I had to fight with him in the swimming pool while he was drowning my head. He said I needed to find out and learn how to save myself in case someone will drown me and was submerged in water. With the excessive force of his pressure on my head, when I struggled to slip away from him, his bulk arm hit my mouth and cause it to bleed. There was also a time when he once taught me to drive a car, I had no experience in that so Noah's car that we used was awfully scratched. The good thing is we're both safe. It was as if I could still hear Noah's loud cry that day. In the days that Blade taught me, I truly learned a lot from him. Starting with dodging and defending, using a gun, how to attack a person to faint, hol
[THIRD-PERSON POV]"You ready, babe?" Maddison asked Liam as she adjusted the necktie he was wearing."I do."Today is Liam’s birthday and the set time to declare the transfer with him of the entire shares of Spencers Corporation. No one knew that this would be announced at his birthday, except for the people living inside Spencer’s manor. And Blade is one of them.Noah's side is aware that this event would happen tonight because Blade was always with Liam wherever he went.For the past three months, Blade took Liam's reliance to bring him closer to him and give his entire trust. He had to do this to gather more valuable information from within their manor."We have been waiting for this day for like forever! I couldn't be happier for you." Maddison exclaimed ecstatically and kissed his temple before she pulled out and ran her hand through her hair.They are both wearing masks, Maddison's is silver which glows whenever the
Crystal"He saw me," I said secretly to Blade who was stationed on the side of the venue. He was wearing a tuxedo and a black mask with a little tint of gold. I also noticed the object placed in his ear.Earlier, I begged Blade to let me try the one in his ear because I only see it in movies and I want to experience being a James Bond even just for a minute. But no matter how much I begged Blade, he didn't let me borrow it, he said I could touch It if I want or I could just ask Mr. Dawson to buy one for me."I told you, you can't try it."Blade apparently noticed me staring at a small earphone placed in his ear."So, the next thing I will do is to approach him. Right?" Blade nodded at me discreetly.When I entered the door a moment ago, I was shocked to be greeted by the eyes of people. I really feel like I'm going to lose my balance earlier because my knees are loosening
"Don't you miss me too?" I tilted my head while raising both of my brows to him as my lower lip raised into a pout."What are you doing here?" Liam mumbled angrily to me."I'm here for you. You're my husband, it's your birthday today and Spencers Corp. has also set the bequest for you. I want to congratulate you as your wife and to tell you that I'm happy for the two of us. " It was as if his eyebrows would be joined together at the excessive collision of it.The spotlight is still focused on us, and Liam is obviously preventing the emotion he exploded from within his body.He grabbed my hand scarcely and pulled me out of the room when the party was taking place.Before we could get out, my eyes searched for Blade who was now looking at us and giving me a signal that he would be next to us.I just let Liam drag me up to their yard without any other people.Even if I want to struggle to slip away from his grip, I can't do that.
Crystal "So it's over? Are you serious about sticking with that jerk?" Noah asked, scrunching up his face and throwing himself on my bed. "Yes, my strategy is to have greater access to Spencers before anything else. Don't you think it'd be amazing if you could bring Amara's items back into this room as well?" While looking in the mirror, I smeared crimson lipstick on my lips. "We don't have to do that, though. My younger sister will be overjoyed to know that her room is occupied, and we will not be returning the pink items. This color combination would be good, as I believe Amara now prefers it." My brows furrowed in response to Noah's words. I'm not sure why a little girl would prefer this color. At this age, she would undoubtedly favor pink and baby-themed items. Noah could have simply been born strange. I didn't respond to him and instead focused on fixing my hair, attempting to remove the stray strands that were visible due
"Mr. Spencer is in his office right now," said the unflappable Butler. I'll never forget our first encounter with him. His aura is really powerful, and he has a very elegant appearance. It was unnerving to be in his presence. Maddison is, without a doubt, his child. "Thank you," I responded as I entered their home. "Crystal!" I heard a familiar voice calling to me, and I looked around for the source of the sound, which turned out to be Sybil, who is holding a croissant. Is this something he does on a daily basis? He doesn't appear to have changed in the least. But it's only been three months since we last saw each other. "Sybil..." I gave him a friendly smile as he approached me. He's really handsome, no wonder why I liked him then. "It's great to have you back; I couldn't believe it last night when you kissed Liam while the light was beaming on the both of you. It's fascinating to see how you show yourself to o
“Is she still locked up in her room?” “Yes, dad. Since we got back, Crystal hasn't come out.” Blade stated. “I overheard Amara sobbing.” She pretended to be tough. But the truth is, she was deeply upset by what the other people had to say. If she'd just let me present her to the general public, that would be good. My daughter isn't a gold digger. She's a goddamn Dawson!” he yelled, his rage palpable across the room. “— and how come her husband is nowhere to be found? Is he not planning on visiting his wife?” “It's possible he's still in the manor, father.” When Crystal came down the stairs with a suitcase, the two of them came to a halt in their conversation. Blade leaped to his feet and offered to assist he
[Crystal] I didn't seem to have a good dream last night. I dreamed of water and I believe it was a bad omen. I immediately get out of bed after resting for a bit. Fortunately, my morning sickness was not that bad. Such a well-mannered child for not torturing its mother. I plan to go to a doctor today for a check-up and to know the gender of my baby. I think I can ask Liam to go with me. It is the reason why I am so excited that I wake up so early. Whatever the gender of this child will be, I will accept it wholeheartedly and support my child. My hand slightly raised and rubbed my belly. I promise to protect and take care of you, my baby.
[Crystal] Today is the day when Liam plans to tell his family about our child. When we got back from Khun Wanida resort, everything went well and there were no problems. Dad continues to help Blade and Maddison. I can hardly talk to Blade and them every time they are at home. I chose to stay at my father's house. I don't want to cram myself into Spencer's manor. Also, I am more comfortable with it. So far the investigation into the search for their son Blade is ongoing. However, they still do not have information because Maddison's father, Mr. Butler, does not come out of the manor, which i
“I know how important my return is to you. Especially and I saw firsthand with my own eyes how much you missed me during the times I was missing. But, I hope you also understand my decision not to let the public know. It is also for the safety of our future child. I don’t want the time to come to confuse him with the various articles he finds on the internet, or with what people have to say. It is enough for me that you and Noah know that I am still alive and that I have come back to you that I have lost my family. So, I hope you understand me. ” I sincerely muttered while not taking my eyes off my father. “I also don't want to bring up what happened in the past. I don't want to mention my mother here, and especially the events of the past that she wants to forget. ” Mr. was stunned for a moment. Dawson before a smile flash
When Crystal entered the room reserved for them by Maddison she saw that Blade was still inside and they seemed to be talking about something. Crystal didn't hear what they were talking about because they became silent once she got inside as well. Before Blade came out, Crystal followed him with sharp glances. Blade didn't look at Crystal and looked just straight at him until he got out of the door. Silence narrowly enveloped the inner of the room after Blade came out. Both Maddison and Crystal are skeptical of the moves they will make. Crystal was about to step forward to look at the suitcase; she didn't know what the only clothes were when Maddison suddenly blurted out.
[THIRD-PERSON POV] Along the way, Crystal could no longer resist her drowsiness. This is also because she is pregnant. Because she needs more sleep now compared to when she is not yet carrying a baby in her womb. Maddison was just staring out the window and seemed to be deep in thought, as were Blade and Liam. Not even one of them intended to speak. As a result, silence enveloped them. Crystal's father, Mr. Dawson let out a series of sighs as he looked back and forth at the three. One reason he plans on vacation is to have time with Crystal, especially now that she knows who she really is. But, another reason he does this is he wants to have peace between Blade, Maddison, and Liam.
“Where are we going, Blade?” I asked him but he didn't seem to have any plans to tell me. After he conveyed to me earlier the problem he and Maddison were facing, as well as the help Noah had promised, his phone suddenly rang and he received a call. After Blade answered it, he suddenly told me to get in the car, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. I can't understand what's going on. When I asked Blade who called, he told me it was Mr. Dawson phoned and told both of us to go to a certain location. Which Blade doesn't tell me. He just shut his mouth and didn't utter any words. &nb
[Crystal] "What do you mean you didn't take Noah home with you to Denmark?" I was shocked at the tone of Blade's voice. It sounds disgusting and seems furious at me. His eyes are full of desperation and I can feel his sadness. Maybe he's really mad at me, “I-I can’t push him to go b-back here, Blade. Noah decided to stay in New Jersey for a few more days.” I defended myself honestly. “He wants to fix his relationship with Trina before he comes back here again. And I don’t know how many more days it will take before that thing happens. I’m not sure what will happen there. Now, Noah is anxious, he can't talk because of the quarrel between him and Trina. I could have done nothing but agree as he wished no
[THIRD PERSON-POV] “Are you sure that they would help us?” Maddison whispered to Blade, trying to lower her voice for fear that someone would hear her. “Don’t worry. They are my friends. I am certain that they would do everything to help us. But—” Blade took a long pause before he continued. “The only thing that they might never give you, is to take Liam away from Crystal. She is pregnant with Liam's child, and even if I am swearing him to death, I would never want to take away the father of the innocent child.” Maddison seemed saddened by that fact. Not because of how he felt about Liam, but because of how her father would react. “We will do everything to find our son. Just trust me, Maddi. They are coming back to Denmark
