All Chapters of Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Claire felt her heart start pounding in her chest when she saw who was at the head of the crowd. Lisa sneered at her as the three of them drew closer. The staff took out their phones and had their cameras out to video the whole thing."You are very shameless, Claire, to come back here."Claire looked around. The faces of every single one in the lobby were filled with hatred and disgust. She felt her heart drop to somewhere in her stomach."What are you talking about?" She whispered to Lisa.Lisa gave her a look that promised vengeance."I'm talking about the things you have done, Claire! You have blood on your hands, and now you are out to get our CEO's too!"Claire felt her blood run cold. How had Lisa found out? She cast a glance at Axel and Donald and they looked just as surprised. They were the only ones she had told in New York."Did you think we would never find out?" Lisa taunted. "Your own sister called you a witch! You killed your father, Claire!"An angry buzz swept through

Axel and Donald stared down at the men and the lady they held in their arms."Did I ask any of you to put a finger on her?" Axel asked quietly.They shifted from foot to foot, each of them nudging the other to respond. Donald reached out and took Claire from them, then used his feet to propel her suitcase inside."I'll call Paul." He said as he walked in.Axel nodded, but kept his eyes on the men. "Chose your poison."The men immediately fell to the ground and started begging for mercy."Oh, you all can talk now, can't you?" He roared. "I asked you who gave you the permission to lay a finger on my woman!"His voice echoed in the penthouse, and Donald came out."She's alive, and safe now." He pulled Axel away from the men. "You can deal with them later. Right now, you need to figure out what you are going to say to Danielle. She's been calling."Axel gritted his teeth. "Count yourselves fortunate that Donald was present today. I'd put you all in a torture chamber and leave you there to

When Claire melted weakly into his arms, Axel felt deep, immeasurable pain in his heart. He had said to himself, that he would work on not being affected by Claire any more. Now, he knew he lied. She already meant so much to him, that he even shared in her pain. That part scared him the most.Claire's breathing was shallow, and her arms went slack. She was trembling like she was very cold, but her temperature was climbing too quickly. Axel laid her down on the bed and took his place beside her. He hugged her to his side and prayed that Paul should hurry.Donald checked in a few times, but he was just as helpless. Finally, after it had gone dark, Paul returned. By then, Axel was feeling sleepy and Claire's skin was burning. Angry rashes had erupted from her skin and they glowed in fury."You certainly do not fear getting ill, son."Axel looked up, and seeing Paul, sat up groggily. "How did it go?"Paul stretched his hand out. His sleeves were rolled up and Axel could see marks on them.

Axel slowly rose from his position to let Donald take a look."It's a bomb alright.""Is it timed?" Axel asked tersely.Donald nodded. "We have less than twenty minutes. Check the doors."Axel walked to the door and tried opening it. "It's locked from outside.""Let me call Jubril. Check the windows."Axel climbed the bed and opened the window. "It's been sealed off. Why didn't we notice that the house was a trap?""We were too tired."Donald lifted a finger when Jubril picked up and informed him of their situation."Half an hour? That's too long. We have to find another way." Jubril said something and he crouched by the trapdoor. "Yes, I think we can lift it out in time… What? No… It looks like it was designed to take out just the house… You think that would work? Yes, yes... Alright. Get the men ready for us."Donald hung up and sighed. "Let's hope any movement at all doesn't detonate it."Axel went down on his knees. "On three?"Donald took a deep breath and nodded. "If it goes off

Axel had stayed upstairs when the men had brought in the Manager. He dreaded what Donald had to do, but he realized it was necessary. Donald had prepared well. The instruments he saw inside the closed chamber gave Axel shivers. Just seeing everything so carefully laid out should have made the Manager start talking immediately he was dragged into the room. Axel heard his screams from inside because the walls were not soundproof. Donald was really not pulling his punches. Axel knew the moment the Manager cracked. He clucked his tongue and looked at his watch. The Manager had not even lasted an hour. The house went quiet again, and a few minutes later, the men dragged the manager with them.Jubril asked the men to lock him up until everything blew over. Then, the others would have no clue what was about to happen. Axel stood by the door, trying to listen to everything that was going on in the house. He heard the footsteps of someone approaching and he slinked away to the table.When Dona
