Chapter 121 - 121

Blake was staring at Sara's lips, they were rosy and sensuous even when she was asleep, he wanted to kiss her so desperately. He tried to get closer, but Sara frowned and made a mewling sound. For sure he thought he woke her up by what he did, so he backed up quickly.

He did not want to get caught trying to steal a kiss from her, it might make her angrier. Sara had not warmed up to him yet, he knew she was being cautious with him.

He felt her kiss him back the other day but he didn't know if that was just because of the heat of the moment, or if she wanted it as well.

Blake was not too sure about his stand on their relationship. 

The attraction he felt at the wedding prompted his actions, and when she rejected him by slapping him, he thought revenge was his next step. The scandal was the perfect opportunity to show her never to humiliate him. He wanted to prove that she was just like any other woman, once he's had enough of her and removes her from his system, then he can go back to leading his life like he was used to.

But everything he had planned has gone down the drain. He was starting to like everything about her. She was like poison, slowly spreading through his whole body. He was getting very possessive and protective of her.

She looked forward to seeing her beautiful face, her smile, at how she got irritated because of small things and when she didn't get what she wanted. The more time he spent with her made him understand who she really was.

He always thought that women who were headstrong or very stubborn were not his type. That was why when he saw the actress and models in the industry behaving as such, he would always steer clear. He vowed that he would never marry or date anyone with the same disposition.

His plan was to settle down with a woman who was very docile, mild-mannered, and very easy going. Blake being an alpha male he was used to having his wishes granted, he won't bow down to anyone, not even his wife. So he wanted a gentle wife who was ready to do everything for him.

He had seen his mother still acting like a spoiled teenager, and his father pampering her to death. And Nina, let's not talk about her, she had the princess syndrome since she was the youngest child, she always acted like the world was hers to command.

He felt sorry for his brother-in-law whenever he saw him serving Nina. She ordered him around like a servant, and he acted like it was a pleasure for his wife to order him around. As soon as she showed him her puppy dog eyes, her husband was ready to move heaven and hell to make her happy.

His father pampered Nina a lot because she was a girl and she was very pretty, in his books women needed to be treated like royalty. Nina just had to ask her father, and everything would be done, she spent money like it was water, and her father did not care.

But he never gave Blake any special treatment, he was very harsh on him, because he believed that he was going to handle Anderson Industries in the future, and with such a large corporation, there would also be a lot of vultures. So he needed to step up and be strong. 

His father sent him to train with the Aristocratic heirs. Every male in their family went under the same training, and all of them were expected to be as tough as the one before them. So by the time Blake was trained, he was expected to be tougher than his father and grandfather, mistakes were not tolerated.

Blake was not disciplined, and he was always fooling around before he entered the training camp, but by the time he was done, he was an entirely different person, understanding why his father was always strict, and learned that his father loved him, he just had a different way of showing it.

He met Tristan, Dimitri, and Aiden at the training camp. They were more than friends, they considered each other to be their brother and their bond was so strong that they would do anything for each other. 

Tristan had a crappy childhood, and he would never trade his childhood with him. He was lucky his parents loved him. 

Aside from Tristan, everyone had a good and happy family. He was the cold and silent type, always loved work, and hated marriage. He only spoke when necessary. Everyone in the group thought Tristan would be the last one to get married or better yet, not at all.

But life always throws surprises. That's what happened when Tristan met Ava, he announced that he had fallen in love and did waste his time, he got married right away. They all knew that he was obsessed with Ava, and he did not even give her the chance to say no, he was scared she would leave him. Tristan wanted to bind her to him forever, and marriage was the best thing to do.

They were shocked that Ava was twelve years younger than him, and she was his complete opposite, she was very innocent, naive, and very optimistic. It also helped that she looked like an angel.

At first, they were worried that Ava would not be able to handle his darkness. But he had only replied that in time she would come to love everything about him. 

Ava had fallen madly in love with him stuck to him like a koala, she learned to depend on him for everything. Tristan became her whole world, he did everything for her and even treated her like a kid, she was like a princess being waited on hand and foot. 

Aiden had asked Tristan if he was not scared to spoil her too much. It would be difficult for him in the future to say no to her. Tristan said that the more she gets arrogant it would be more advantageous for him because no one would be able to handle her temper and Ava would always feel that Tristan was the best, and no one would love her as he would.

His plan was to ruin her for other men, Ava will be so spoiled that nobody else will be able to fulfill her demands. Ava will never leave him. 

Because he had spoiled her too much Ava now felt that Tristan took care of her more than her parents, and she did not want to be parted from him.

Dimitri was their dark horse, he was very rude and sarcastic, he always wore a bored expression. It looks like he was not interested in anything. He was only happy when he was tinkering with his guns and other weapons, it transformed him into an entirely different person.

Aiden was the one with the sunniest disposition, he was a gentleman, and he was very popular. Because of all of them, he was the only one who talked politely to women, even when they threw themselves at them. The other three would be rude. He was a peacemaker, very attentive, and helpful. It was very easy to get along with him.

Blake always wondered how it would feel like loving someone when he was not willing to risk his heart. He did not want to put someone else before him, to do everything for this one person only to have his heart crushed in the end. Loving someone means he would be leaving himself vulnerable, and he was not ready to do that for anybody.

He learned from an assistant that Sara was very warm and understanding during the photoshoots. She was not like the other celebrities, who always complained about every little thing. She worked very hard and was very patient with everybody. She always had a good disposition about her that made her easy to work with.

They told him about an instance where she sat at the makeup chair for hours, but when the photographer saw her, he said that he was not happy with how the makeup clashed with her outfit, so she just went on straight to change her makeup. They didn't even hearsay anything, not one complaint, or even one peep out of her.

She was willing to sit through every shot just to get the picture that they wanted, and no matter how long it took, she stayed. 

They described her as always being on time, and she would stay later than the scheduled appointment if they needed her. The staff thought she was very friendly, she never failed to greet them when she came in. The only time she talked back was when people were rude to her, otherwise, she would always keep to herself.

Hearing all this Blake's opinion of Sara was slowly starting to change.
