Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

"Cleo? What are you…?" Max's eyes widened when Chleo crawled onto the bed and hugged him tightly.

"You can't go anywhere today. You can only be by my side all day."

"But…"

"Shh. It seems you were too tired from saving me yesterday, so today, you should rest."

"Okay, I'll take a break, but does it have to be like this?"

Chleo held Max so tightly that Max almost felt… the curves of Chleo's soft things that could arouse desire. If he was lying next to the woman he loved, let alone being hugged like this, how could he possibly rest?

It took all his strength to restrain his urge not to devour this undeniably adorable little lover of him.

Chleo lifted her head to look at those ocean-like blue eyes.. Her brows knit together, and her brows furrowed. Is Chleo angry?

Chleo let go of her arms and sat next to Max so he could breathe a sigh of relief again.

Max was about to sit down too, but when he saw Chleo's irritated look at him, he immediately stopped his intention.

Did he do something wrong?

"I don't get it. Why do you always faint every time I kiss you? Is there something strange about my kiss? You don't like my kiss?"

"..." Max didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Oh, if only she had known he had been craving her lips from the first sight.

He had wanted to taste it for so long and mash it into it. Even when he forced her to marry him, Max still yearned for her.

If possible, he doesn't want any restriction to shower her with all of his passion and affection. Not only her lips, but her neck, her curves, and his wife's 'forbidden' parts, he wanted to have them all.

Now that his memory was back, he didn't know what to do. He was afraid that if he kissed Chleo back, he wouldn't even be able to stop. The wife he loved, yearned, and longed for every night he could never touch was now by his side, loving him and not glancing at other young men.

But he knew this was all fake. Chleo only loved him because he saved her, and she adored her Ice Prince. Once Chleo got her memories back, the girl's feelings wouldn't be the same. There was a chance she would hate him back.

"Max, is there something you're hiding from me?"

For a few moments, two pairs of different colored eyes stared at each other as if to read each other's thoughts.

"You're worried about something," Chleo guessed at last. "What are you worried about? What happened yesterday? Or was it because of my kiss?"

Max chuckled at the last question.

Ah, how nice it would be if his wife had a character like Chleo now.

"Come here." Max coaxed as he gently pulled Chleo's hand to lie beside him. Max carefully leaned Chleo's head on his chest so that Chleo could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Miraculously, Chleo's heart became peaceful and calm, hearing the regular rhythm in her right ear. She enjoyed the soft caress on her head.

"To tell you the truth, I'm worried about a lot of things, but definitely not because of your kiss. I like it very much."

"Tch, then why did you faint?"

"I didn't faint. We are here and talking, aren't we?"

"Then why do you have a headache?"

"I had frequent headaches before this. Did you forget I had a headache when we had lunch at the restaurant? We weren't kissing at the time."

"Aaa…" Chleo lifted her head slightly then rested her chin on Max's chest. "So you don't have a headache because of my kiss?"

Max tilted his head to give Chleo a quick peck on the lips making Chleo surprised. She didn't expect Max to take this opportunity to kiss her at all.

"Of course not."

Chleo lowered her eyes, unable to bear the stares of her lover's loving eyes any longer. She returned to her position leaning her head to hear her lover's reassuring heartbeat.

"Do you have any disease? Why do you get headaches so often?"

"I was in a coma for ten years."

Coma? Chleo felt her body stiffen at this statement. Even though she was very curious, Chleo decided not to ask or interrupt the man. This was the first time Max had told her about himself, so Chleo decided to hear it.

Max smiled, realizing Chleo hadn't interrupted him at all and had only heard him speak. Then he told what the blue king's abilities and weaknesses were.

He explained that a blue king would not age before having offspring who would inherit his strength. He told her his only weakness was he could not heal his wounds. Like others, he could feel pain and die if someone killed him, but his death was more called a 'coma.'

He would rise from his 'death' no matter how long he was in a coma.

He also said his previous identity was Vasili Peskhov, and when he saved little Chleo in Germany, he still bore the name Vasili Peskhov. However, his brother killed him by stabbing his heart. Hence he was in a coma for ten years and lost some of his memories.

"Peskhov? Do you have any association with Alexis Peskhov?"

"..."

This time Chleo felt Max's body stiffen and didn't answer her question leaving Chleo confused. Chleo was about to raise her head to see the man's expression, but Max held her back.

"Have you met Alexis?"

Strangely, why did Chleo find a hint of sadness in Max's voice?

"He's my friend. We met two years ago. Why?"

"I'd better go back. I'll call you."

"Wait…" but it was too late. Max was no longer in her room.

Chleo got to her feet and immediately looked for her phone to call Max and realized she had left all of her belongings at the hotel.

Hotel? The gala show! Chleo had just remembered the gala show held at the Hamilton hotel. There must be news of her disappearance regarding her overprotective father.

Chleo immediately turned on her TV to find the hottest news that happened last night.

Surprisingly, there was no news of the missing person or mention of the kidnapping. Instead, Chleo saw the fashion channel news, and it showed the gala show from last night's event. Moreover, she could see herself!?

"Let's hear a presentation of this amazing work from Miss West."

Chleo saw her face as well as the clothes she was supposed to be wearing appeared on TV. The way she did the presentation and how she moved and smiled was the same as her habit. Chleo covered her mouth in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Who's that? Why does the girl have the same face as her? She was sure she didn't have a twin!

No, that's not what's important. Why did she even appear to present her product design?! It was not the plan!
