Chapter 10
I wanted to keep reading, but Blake took my phone away.
He said I needed to focus on recovery.
In the luxury private room, Blake was personally taking care of me.
First time being alone with Blake this late at night – I couldn’t sleep.
He was obviously wide awake too.
In the dim room, I thought for a moment and asked:
“Did Uncle Winters make you stay and take care of me? I’ll tell him you can go rest.”
“No, this was my choice.”
I didn’t know what to say to that.
After a long silence, he spoke up: “Zara, what did you mean by that post?”
I was confused: “The clarification post? I meant what I said – to stop people making up love triangle theories.”
“I’m asking about the last part. What did you mean by ‘I don’t have inappropriate feelings for him, never have, never will, not in this lifetime‘?”
Blake’s question caught me completely off guard.
Was he…
Not believing me?
He couldn’t actually think I had feelings for him, could he?
I was getting frustrated. “I was wrong, okay? I’m sorry I was stupid enough to ask for candy. How long are you all going to keep doubting me!”
“I just wanted a piece of candy! I wasn’t trying to flirt with anyone!”
My voice got more and more worked up, louder and louder.
Until Blake couldn’t hold back: “You don’t want me to want you!”
Those words that totally stopped me cold.
He got up from the cot and stood beside my bed.
His tall, lean figure cast a shadow that looked incredibly lonely.
“Zara, is it possible that I’m the one who wants… I want something with you?
I’ve watched every episode of your show, I visit your set whenever I can.
I didn’t give you candy because seeing you so close with that guy made me crazy with jealousy.
Even knowing it was just acting, I couldn’t control myself!
Zara, that’s why I couldn’t admit I had a sister because I can’t see you as my sister! I want to be your husband.”

Chapter 10
His desperate confession left my head completely spinning.
Blake… liked me?
He actually liked me?
