THE HEAT BETWEEN US Dinner With Him
“I know it is possible for million of people to have the same eyes color, but how can they feel the same? The hidden warmth, and kindness behind the cold aura emitting from him, just like Murphy's” I thought inwardly while his eyes keeps trying draw me in, to trap me, and make me one with him. “Are you done?” He suddenly asked, and I jolt out of my thoughts. Swallowing my saliva back, I shifted uncomfortably in the seat before releasing the seat belt. “Yeah! Can we go in now?” I said, looking away from his face, feeling embarrassed. “Right after you, Milady!” He said with a soft chuckle, and I paused on my track. “Is there something you are not telling me?” I turned to look at him. “Humm…Something like what?” He asked, I saw those hints of fear in his eyes again. “I don't know! Maybe you should tell me about it!” I watched him nervously rubbing his palm against each other vigorously. “Tell you what, Alexis?” Listen dear, I am not hiding anything from you, okay! I wouldn't h

“What?” I said, deeply embarrassed with his stare. “You love it so much?” “You can say that again!” I said before chewing on the noddles with chopsticks, no longer embarrassed of his silent stares, and smug smile. He can go on watching me without eating, while I finish off everything. Murphy did informed him well about my favorite dishes. Eating more of the noddles, and pork meat, I suddenly saw something shinny inside the broth of the noddles. Curiously, i picked it up with the chopsticks. On seeing what it is, a loud gasps unconsciously escaped from my mouth. “I know it's not a proper marriage, but what is worth doing, is worth doing! Will you do me the honor of being my contract wife?” He said, already on his knees, staring intensely at my eyes, and I went mute unsure of what to say or how to respond to his crazy question. “Despite my traumatic past, yet I have always secretly hoped and dreamed about the day of being proposed to by a man that loves me. But what should I called

I fell in love with the simple, yet elegant decorations. It made me feel a little bit at home.Ten minutes later, I was done. You look beautiful, ma'am!” Selena said after putting the final touch to my clipped bun-hairstyle.“Thank you!” I said while staring at the sea blue eyes gazing back at me from the dressing mirror. The emerald necklace compliment the black color off-shoulder styled lengthy gown. Suddenly someone knocked gently on the closed door.“Yes!” Quickly Selena went to check out the reason for the knock. Opening, and closing back the door swiftly, I couldn't tell who the person was.“Ma'am, It's time!” She rushed towards me while I stood up slowly. Holding my black color clutch sized purse, we both went downstairs, where he was already waiting for me.“I thought I said twenty minutes?” He said while checking his wristwatch, the moment he saw me. “Sorry I'm… .. late!” I paused on my words on seeing him dressed up in a simple white color totem-neck styled long sleeve swe

“Now, tell me doctor Kim? Is she…is she in any sort of danger? Is she…is she dieing?” I asked coldy, my eyes red from fear, and uncertainty.“Please, stop that! My baby isn't dieing, or going to! Right, doctor Kim?” My mom asked, already walking towards us.“Of course not, Mr Chester!. She is fine, Lady Ave!. But she needs a lot of bed rest, and medications to help boost up her immune systems, especially her white blood cell. She must have have seen or experience a great deal of ill experiences…!” He was still trying to say something when I interrupted him.“I'll experiences like what? Make me understand you better, doctor Kim!” I tried to refrain myself from yelling at the top of my voice. God! I'm going crazy!.“Like trauma, Mr Chester! Traumatizing situations or reoccurring experiences that might have happened to her which can cause damages to the nerves system, or brain if not properly handled. She is a strong lady, but the limit has been crossed. I would recommend she undergo the

“What the hell is she saying?” I wondered silently, but she wasn't joking! I could tell with the frown on her face. “Meaning?” I said with my slightly raised eyebrows. “Meaning! It's not compulsory for her to be the one to marry you” She said about to walk out of the room, and I followed suit. “But you made the pronouncement yourself?” I said, and she paused on her way downstair, and turned to glare at me. “Really?” She scoffed loudly. “Well, I can as well make another announcement then!” She said, and then continued walking. “You can't mom!” I hurried after her. “Why can't I? I didn't raise you up to become a jerk, young man!. That girl is very precious to me unlike you, though!” She stopped walking. “Of course she is precious to me mom! Do you know how much she means to me?” I said, my emotions getting the best of me, now. "That is a lie, Chester! You, and I know what the truth is! I clearly remembered you saying the main reasons of you deceiving her this far!” She s

CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV “She is fine, Mr Chester! Thankfully, she isn't in any form of danger! But like I said she still needs a lot of bed rest!” Doctor Kim, whom I had literally threatened to come over, said after examining Alex's body. “Are you sure she is fine? She sounded confused when she woke up some minutes ago!” I said, while looking at her calm face, her chest swaying up and down in a peaceful sleep. “Yes Sir! She will be alright!” He replied, already waiting for me to dismiss him. “Thank you doctor Kim, and sorry for the way I spoke to you on phone earlier on!" "It's okay, Mr Chester! You acted that way because you are worried about your fiancee. I would have done the same too!" He replied with a smile and I did the same. “Alright, doctor Kim. We will see tomorrow morning!” I said with a brief handshake before escorting him out of the room. On getting back a minute later, I opened the door slowly, peeped at her and then closed it back as quietly as possible. My mind

Seeing my quietness, he sat down close to me, on the bed. “Are you okay? Should I call the doctor over, now?” He asked while trying to feel my pulse. “When did he become a doctor?” I said inwardly. “Hmm…thank you so much for saving my life!” I said after a slight cough. “I didn't! The doctor did! Besides you are my wife now, hence it's my responsibility to protect you!” He said calmly still feeling my pulse. Suddenly I felt dizzy, and shut my eyes because of the wrobbing pain in my head. “Are you okay?” he said, and I frowned. “This mask! I have seen in somewhere else before! Yes, it was the mask in my dream! But how come he is wearing it now? Well, maybe it means nothing!” I resolved within me, while coughing slightly. “Calm down! Relax, dear!" You will be fine, alright!” He said carelesing my hair before calling out for Selena. “Yes, Sir!” Selena hurried in, and i fear she doesn't tripped over on the ground some days. “Is the meal ready?” “Yes, Sir!” “Good!

THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Game He Is Playing!
“You will not show up unannounced,” I began. “You will not try to intimidate me into decisions. Any visits will be scheduled and supervised.” His lips twitched. “Supervised?” “Yes,” Jenna interjected. “At least in the beginning.” He hummed, considering. “And if I don’t agree?” I met his gaze head-on. “Then I’ll fight you in court. And if you think for a second that money is enough to win, you clearly don’t know me.” Something flickered in his expression—respect, maybe even admiration. Then, just as quickly, it was gone. “I don’t plan on fighting you, Alex.” His voice was softer now. “I just want my child. And…” His fingers tapped against the table. “Maybe a chance to fix what I broke.” My breath hitched, but I masked it. Jenna cut in before I could respond. “Alex’s terms are non-negotiable. You’ll earn access to your child at her pace, not yours.” He exhaled sharply, shaking his head
THE HEAT BETWEEN US A Battle Of Willpower
My fingers clenched into fists. He was already threatening me with legal action? I slammed my laptop shut and paced across the room, my mind racing. He wouldn’t actually drag me to court, would he? No, of course he would. But he didn’t bluff. And the worst part? He had the resources to win. If this turned into a legal battle, I’d be outmatched in every possible way. I needed to get ahead of this. Now. I grabbed my phone and dialed the one person who could help. “Alex?” My lawyer, Jenna, answered after the second ring. “We have a problem,” I said, gripping the edge of the counter. “Leon knows about the baby.”Silence. Then a sharp inhale. “And?” “And he’s already making moves to claim his place in my child’s life.” Jenna cursed under her breath. “I’ll set up a meeting with my team first thing in the morning. In the meantime, don’t respond to him.” I exhaled shakily. “Okay.” But as I hung up, I knew one thing for certain— This wasn’t just about me anymore.Chester wasn’t just t
THE HEAT BETWEEN US Losing Control
“Sell your shares.” “No.” I exhaled sharply, my pulse spiking. “Then I’ll buy you out.” He smirked. “You don’t have the money for that.” His arrogance made me want to slap him. “I’ll find the money.” He tilted his head, amusement flickering in his gaze. “I’ll match any offer you make. And then I’ll raise it.” I clenched my fists. “You’re a bastard.” He stood slowly, walking around the desk until he was right in front of me. “I’m a businessman.” I refused to step back, even as my body betrayed me with the memory of how close we used to be.He studied me for a long moment. Then, his voice dropped to a low, almost dangerous murmur. “You can fight me all you want, Alex. But I’m not going anywhere.” I swallowed, willing myself not to show weakness. His gaze flickered to my stomach. “Especially now.” I stiffened. That was the moment I realized—This wasn’t just a game to him. For a second, the entire world seemed to freeze. I forced my expression to remain blank, but he saw righ
THE HEAT BETWEEN US This Is War
I should have walked away. I should have ignored the way his words sent a shiver down my spine. But he never let me take the easy way out. I met his gaze, steady and unrelenting. “I don’t have time for your games.”He smirked. “Who said I’m playing?” I scoffed. “That’s all you ever do, isn’t it? You push, you manipulate, you trap people into your world, and you think I’ll just—” He cut me off, his voice lowering. “I think you’re scared.” And I froze. He took a step closer, his scent—expensive cologne and whiskey—invading my senses. “You’re afraid because you know the moment you let me in, you’ll never be able to push me out again.” Anger flared inside me, drowning out the weakness he was trying to pry open. “You’re just so delusional.” He chuckled. “Maybe. But I’m also a man who always gets what he wants.” I clenched my jaw. “Not this time.” His smirk didn’t waver. If anything, it deepened. “Then tell me, Alex—why are you still standing here?” I opened my mouth to ar
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Last Line
The Next Morning, I woke up to my phone blowing up. Calls. Texts. News alerts. My stomach dropped. I clicked the first headline I saw: “Breaking: The Blackwood's Cooperation Acquires Montgomery Tech in Multi-Billion Dollar Deal” No. No, no, no— I scrolled further. “Ethan Montgomery Steps Down Amidst Sudden Buyout—President Chester Blackwood Takes Full Control” I couldn’t breathe. And then—A text from the bastard. Chester: You still think you can push me away? Chester: Checkmate, sweetheart. I threw my phone across the room. He wasn’t just playing to win anymore. He was playing to own me. I stared at my shattered phone on the floor. Chester had done it. Again. He had outmaneuvered me, blindsided me, and backed me into a corner. I couldn’t breathe. I threw open my closet, yanked on a coat, and grabbed my keys. I needed to confront him. Now. ****Blackwood's Cooperation – Manhattan Office I stormed past the receptionist, ignoring her startled protests. "Ma’am, you can’t
THE HEAT BETWEEN US Hell, No! I Am Doing That!
The night of my business launch, I stood at the center of the event, surrounded by flashing cameras, luxury-clad investors, and Manhattan’s elite. This was my night. My future. And nothing—nothing—was going to ruin it. Until I saw him. Chester Blackwood. Tall. Unbothered. Infuriatingly confident. Dressed in a midnight-black suit, he strode in like he belonged there—like he owned the damn room. My heart slammed against my ribs.Oh, hell no. I stormed toward him, ignoring the whispers and the press who were already snapping photos..I forced a smile—because I would not make a scene. Not here. Not tonight. "What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed under my breath. He smiled. Smug. Relaxed. Completely in control."I’m here to support my wife," he said smoothly. I stiffened. "I’m not your wife anymore." His gaze dropped deliberately to my stomach. "Are you sure about that?" My breath hitched. He wouldn’t—he couldn’t— "Chester," I warned. He leaned in, voice dropping. "Re
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The First Move
ALEXANDRIA POV The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I regretted everything. The cameras were already flashing outside. Dozens of reporters, onlookers, and paparazzi had gathered to watch my first public appearance with Chester Blackwood And he? He looked like he was born for this. Seated at a private table, dressed in a tailored black suit, exuding power, he gave me a slow, deliberate once-over as I approached. "You’re late," he murmured. I forced a smile, sliding into my seat. "Traffic." His eyes gleamed with amusement. "You mean you almost didn’t show up." I ignored that. A waiter appeared immediately, offering an expensive bottle of wine. Chester dismissed it with a flick of his wrist. "Water," he said. My heart stopped. He seems to be catching up with things about pregnant women. I kept my face neutral. "No wine for you?" His gaze flickered to my stomach. Barely noticeable, but I saw it. I gripped my napkin under the table. If he knew, he wasn’t saying it yet.
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Offer That Changes Everything
"You can tell yourself that all you want," he murmured. "But we both know the truth." I turned on my heel. "We’re done here." "Alex." His voice stopped me. For a second, I hesitated. For a second, I almost turned back. But I didn’t. Instead, I forced my feet to move, stepping into my car, and slamming the door shut. I had to shut him out. Because if I didn’t—he’d find a way in. ******* CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV She was running. Again!. I clenched my fists, watching her car disappear down the street. For weeks, I’d played by her rules. Let her shut me out. Let her build her defenses. But tonight? I changed the rules. And I wasn’t stopping. I pulled out my phone and dialed Andrus. "Boss?" "Prepare a press release," I said. "I want a statement out first thing in the morning." He hesitated. "What kind of statement?" I smirked. "The kind that makes it impossible for Alex to ignore me." ****** ALEXANDRIA POV By the time I got home, my phone was blowing up. Ava had sent ove
THE HEAT BETWEEN US The Walls Start Cracking!
I pointed to the door, my body shaking. He hesitated. Just for a moment. Then he nodded once, stepping back. But before he walked out, he turned to face me one last time. "This isn’t over." His voice was calm, certain. "You can keep shutting me out. Keep pretending you don’t feel anything. But I’m not leaving." His gaze flickered to my stomach. "Not when I have two hearts to fight for." Then, without another word, he walked out. Leaving me standing in the middle of my apartment, breathless, trembling, and utterly, completely lost. I didn’t sleep that night. His’s words haunted me. "Not when I have two hearts to fight for." Damn him. I should have been relieved that he left. That I had thrown him out before he could sink his claws deeper into my life. But instead, I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, my hands resting over my stomach. Because no matter how much I hated him, no matter how much I wanted to erase him from my life… He was still the father of my child. And he wasn’
