Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

Max didn't stop patting Chleo's petite torso affectionately, who was curled up in his arms while whispering soothing words.

Chleo did feel calm, but she still couldn't believe that she was still alive. How could a human being still be alive after falling from such a height? She could still feel the dreadful screech as she fell at high speed as if she had only experienced it a few minutes ago.

But she couldn't think any further. Chleo had been sleep-deprived for the past two days as she had a lot to prepare for tonight's event. Plus, she had just nearly died, leaving both her bones and mind feeling exhausted.

Without realizing it, Chleo closed her eyes, and in an instant, she fell asleep in the same sitting position.

Max felt the change in the girl's breathing in his arms. He slightly tilted his head to check on the girl's condition.

Maximillian gently stroked one side of her cheek affectionately while removing a tuft of hair stuck to her face.. Then he kissed Chleo's forehead gratefully before leaning his forehead against her with great relief.

"Thank goodness. I arrived in time." Unbeknownst to him, a single tear escaped from his eye and fell right onto Chleo's eyelid.

Instead of turning into ice as it should be, the tear seeped into Chleo's skin and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a thin white line appeared around Chleo's ring finger.

***

That day Chleo had a sweet dream. She was with a young man and having fun together in the ocean. Chleo could walk on water and swim with sea mammals. She even rode a whale!

Ah, she missed her Ice Prince all of a sudden.

She hadn't dreamed of her ice prince in a long time, and now she couldn't help but wonder how that man doing? Does that person have a family? Does the ice prince still remember their promise?

'How can I know if you are the one who met me? I'm not sure I'll get to know you when I grow up.'

'I'm the only one who has a body temperature as cold as ice in this world.'

Chleo was stunned to remember this conversation with her ice prince. Now she remembered that she had always looked for people with blue eyes and cold body temperatures. But she decided to stop looking since she had misrecognized the person about three years ago.

That's why she didn't think too much or be suspicious of the abnormally cold temperature of her boyfriend.

Now, thinking back, wasn't Maximillian's body temperature cold too? Is it possible that Max is the ice prince?

What nonsense thinking she had. If so, Max would have told her.

Chleo was still enjoying the sight of her dream when she saw her beloved Ice Prince's face. The man had blue eyes just as she remembered, platinum hair that gleamed like a beautiful full moon, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as a pomegranate.

Wait a minute… isn't that face…

Chleo instantly opened her eyes and came out of her dream. She held her head which felt a little dizzy because she just woke up without flexing her muscles like Chleo usually did every time she woke up.

After the dizziness subsided, Chleo began to recall the face of the ice prince in her dream. That's weird. Why is Max's face showing up?

Was she so infatuated with her lover that she imagined her ice prince to be Maximillian?

Chleo laid back down on the bed, thinking about the question she always thought of every time she woke up in the morning.

Her brow furrowed in confusion when she realized the ceiling was not the room she was familiar with.

Chleo glanced around and realized this wasn't her room! This wasn't the room in Uncle Darrel's mansion either! Then where is she now?

Chleo tried to remember everything that happened last night. She remembered she was at the Hamilton hotel for a gala show, then…

She was kidnapped by a mysterious person!

Chleo recalled her hands and feet were tied, and her eyes were covered with a blindfold. She also remembered she had fallen from a sweeping height, then… Max!

Didn't Max help her? Or was it just a reflection of him because she was dead?

Chleo pinched her cheek hard, making him wince in pain.

"Oh, I'm not dead yet," Chleo muttered as she rubbed her sore cheek.

If this is not a dream, and she is not dead, then where is she now? Also, how could she still be alive after falling from such a high place?

Not long after, Chleo smelled a delicious aroma from outside her room aroused her appetite.

Slowly, Chleo opened the blanket that wrapped her and realized she was still fully clothed like yesterday afternoon, making her breathe a relief. Then he ventured out to follow the delicious scent.

Surprisingly, Chleo felt nostalgic following the passage she walked. Why did she feel like she had come here before?

For some reason, her heart told her that Chleo would find snowy earth and peppermint plants if she walked straight ahead. Chleo followed her heart, and sure enough, she saw a pile of snow covering the road, and there were various kinds of plants that only grew in winter.

There were also tall trees, such as cypress trees, adorning the courtyard of this house.

She could imagine her childhood self fond of building snowmen while waiting for someone to cook.

Wait a minute. Isn't this the place…

'I can move places as I please.'

Chleo remembered her ice prince had told her about one of her abilities.

Moving places at will mean... teleporting? Chleo's heart thumped, even more, remembering the incident she fell from a high place. Could it be that her ice prince had saved her?

Then Chleo remembered when she asked Max how to get into her house the second day she returned to Seattle.

'If I say I have the ability to teleport wherever I want, would you believe it?'

Chleo's jaw fell while one hand covered her mouth in shock. Is it true that Max is the ice prince? Not to mention, twice she was kidnapped, and twice her ice prince rescued her!

"Chleo, are you awake?"

Chleo's breath seemed to stop when she heard this very familiar voice.

With a prolonged motion, Chleo turned around and saw Maximillian standing there with a worried and loving look.

It's just… Maximillian's hair was no longer black. It's silver!!
