Olivia’s POV:
The last whole week was like a roller coaster ride for me. I thought I was so close to having the blue stone which ended up me messing with the American mafia which further led to me becoming their queen which somehow brought me the blue stone. Basically I went from finding that shit for years to having it in a week. Insane I know.
Me and Blaze returned 3 days back and we were both back to ignoring each other. He left early for the HQ and I left at my normal time for my shoots. He returned late after I slept. The rumors have got out about me and Blaze dating as we were spotted together on the airport. I spoke to mom a few times but she still hasn’t asked me much about him.
Today, surprisingly, Blaze was leaving a little late, at least that’s what I assume.
I had gotten ready for my shoot and was headed down for breakfast. I saw Blaze sitting on the dining table for breakfast while scrolling through is phone. I went there and sat down on my usual spot.
“Greta, I’m starving” I yelled.
After good 5 minutes Greta came out with two plates. Both the plated had boiled veggies with 2 bread toasts.
“Thankyou Greta” I said.
Blaze just nodded and started eating.
How is this guy so manner- less?
No doubt people don’t like him.
Soon we both finished our food and I was about to leave when I heard a voice.
“Olivia” I heard Blaze’s deep voice.
I turned and saw him walking towards me.
“Yes?” I queried.
He had few papers in his hand which he handed over to me.
“These papers are of the big deal of the guns we have with the French mafia” he said.
“And?” I asked.
“As you know the french are a part of the TBM so these deals with them have been happening for years, however as the new mafia queen, you should go through them and sign as your signatures will also be required here on” he explained.
“Oh? Alright” I took the papers and left.
I got out of the house as the breeze and the calming sound of the waves hit me. I went to the backside of the house where our cars were and got inside as I left for my shoot.

I had a shoot with BLACK today, so far it was all good. We had a lunch break so I decided to go through the deal papers.
I started reading the first page. It took barely 20 minutes for me to read the entire thing. There wasn’t much just few rules here and there that said the deal once signed can’t be taken back and if there is any problem form their end, immediate replacement of the guns will be done.
I signed the deal papers and kept them in my back. I went back to my shoot and did the needful.
∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
I had left from shoot half an hour back and was headed to the HQ to handover the papers to Blaze and well, to just visit the HQ, the last time I was there I didn’t get to see much.
I parked my car in the parking lot and started walking. The guards saw me and immediately guided me inside as I saw all heads turn towards me and everyone whispered things like ‘isn’t she the new queen?’ ‘is it true? That she’s shadow?’. I ignored and headed straight to the elevator as the guards told me Blaze’s office was on the top most floor. I entered the elevator and pressed the button to the 50th floor. I patiently waited as I noticed how the HQ was located in an isolated area at the outskirts of New York. Blaze made sure no one could ever find his HQ and the ones who did ended up dead.
The elevator dinged open and I stepped out. I saw there was only one office on the floor and Blaze was sitting on his chair focused on his Laptop. I walked towards him as I knocked on the door and saw him look up and nod. I stepped inside and took the papers out of my bag and kept it on the table.
“I went through them and have signed them too.” I said.
He nodded and took a pen and signed them too.
As he was signing I took in how tired his face looked, as if he didn’t get sleep for days.
Is he a vampire?
No, Stefan Salvatore is a sweetheart. He isn’t even close to sweet.
I mean he comes way too late and leaves way too early how much does he even sleep? Sleep is important or he’s gonna fall sick.
Why do you care hoe.
I don’t okay? If he falls sick I’ll have to look after him and I don’t have time for that.
You don’t have to I’m pretty sure he’ll have Greta and 20 other whores who’ll come to check on him.
He doesn’t need to have whores I can manage things.
And she didn’t have time.
Shut the fuck up.
I was snapped out my daze as Blaze kept the pen back.
“Blaze, when was the last time you slept?” I asked.
“Why do you ask?” he asks coldly.
“Wel,l you look tired and in desperate need of sleep” I said.
“I don’t see why would you give a fuck” he retorted.
He was getting on my nerves now.
“Look, we live in the same house okay? I don’t want you to fall sick and make me fall sick too or look after you” I replied annoyed.
“You don’t need to worry, if I ever fall sick I won’t come home, I’ll manage for myself. You aren’t my girlfriend so stop pretending like one. You’re just the queen for formality basis.” He said.
Oh my god this guy is completely insane.
“Blaze what the fuck is your problem? I’m being nice to you, for once you could at least try to be a little nicer” I said.
“Keep that mouth of yours shut, if you can’t take me talking” he was so cold.
“OH MY GOD BLAZE IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IM FUCKING CONCERNED ABOUT YOU? WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LEAVE THAT LAPTOP AND GET HOME AND SLEE-“ I realized what I said but it was too late.
Yay, she’s concerned.
I will murder you for real.
But you’re the one who said is concerned so how a-
SHUT UP.
Blaze was now looking at me…softly? Nah, I’m dreaming.
“Fuck, forget it I’m leaving” I said and was leaving hurriedly.
“Wait” I heard his deep voice and halted in my steps.
I turned and saw him standing and switching off his laptop while taking his car keys.
“Let’s go” he said and got out while I followed him to the lift.
We reached the parking lot and Blaze walked towards his car.
“I umm, have my car” I said.
“Marcus will get it, get in the car.” He ordered.
God, stop ordering me.
I got inside and he did the same as we drove home, silently.
∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
We had gotten home a few hours back and were done with dinner as we were now sitting in ou- his room.
It was past 1 and I was sleepy and was feeling super cold, that’s when I noticed. The AC was at 16°c…what on god’s green Earth? I turned to him and he was sitting comfortably working on his laptop.
Why isn’t he freezing to death.
I have no clue.
“Blaze, increase the temperature it’s freezing” I said shivering.
He looked at me and then at the AC.
“Can’t, sleep” he said.
“What do you mean can’t I’m freezing here” I said.
“wear a sweater” what on earth.
I knew it was pointless arguing with him so I wore 3 full sleeved tops over my existing one and a sweater on that with socks and jumped inside my blanket.
I was still shivering so much. It’s impossible to sleep this way. I tried to push that thought away and soon Blaze switched off the light but before doing so he pulled the curtain a little at the side has moon light entered the room.
I- What?
He came to the bed and slept on his side.
∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
It was past 3 now and I was still struggling to sleep. I kept tossing and turning on the bed and finally decide to increase the temperature to 24°c. Soon the room got a little warmer and I finally fell asleep.
It was barely half an hour I woke again because of dry throat and got up to drink water, that’s when I noticed..blaze had an uncomfortable face. He was slightly sweating. I couldn’t help but feel bad and switch the AC back to 16°c. After good 5 minutes his face was back to normal and he looked peaceful again.
He looked so good sleeping peacefully.
I know right? Who would say this is the big bad scary Mob.
I couldn’t help but put my hand through his hair, they were so soft and silky. I don’t know how but a small smile automatically formed on my face. I kept staring at his face for few more seconds as I was about to sleep when my hand accidentally touched his arm but very lightly so it didn’t wake him up, that’s when I realized he was so warm. I slowly went back into my blanket and tried to sleep.
I don’t know how, but a certain warmth pulled me towards it and in no time I was wrapped in two strong arms feeling so warm and nice, I immediately fell asleep. For some weird reason, it felt so good, so peaceful.
Man today was just so tiring, I'm honestly so exhausted.
Can we all just aww at how Olivia fell asleep in Blaze's arms. I know a lot of you wanted it a little earlier so here you go!
Love,
