Blair's POV I played with Ace's hair as he was sleeping peacefully. I can't believe I had fallen for a man younger than me and he somehow confessed first. Now I'm curious, did I fall first or did he fall first? I moved closer to him to kiss his lips and instantly shifted back when he opened his eyes, fuck, I didn't expect him to wake up so soon. “Why did you stop?” His low morning voice was like a warm cup of coffee on a chilly morning. His voice made me blush when I remembered what happened between the two of us this early morning. “Why are you blushing?” Ace asked and I tucked my hair behind my ear. “Bl.. blushing? No I'm not,” I tried to keep a straight face. Ace began to draw a circle on my thighs with his hand and it made my body heat up again, “Ace, stop,” I suppressed how I was feeling by biting my lip and fisting the blanket with my hand. “Why don't we continue from where we stopped this morning?” Ace left wet kisses on my neck and I playfully pushed him away. “Don't,
Blair's POV “Grandma, Grandpa, everyone, how about we get Kayla and Zade married?” I said with a wide grin on my face.“Marriage?” I heard Kayla whisper from behind me.“You want to get them married?” Thaila scoffed, “That's crazy, Blair is something wrong? Are you dying or something?”“No,” I shook my head as the smile on my face widened.“Then why will you get them married? They both hurt you,” Thaila sneered and pointed at the both of them.“I don't want to get them married because I want to, I'm doing it because of Austin, he..”“Who the fuck is Austin?” Thaila Interrupted what I was saying, and my other cousins couldn't give a reply; they all looked at each other. I guess they didn't know about Austin either.“They already picked a name for the unborn baby?” One of my cousins spat, “You two are fucking shameless.”My eyes searched Kayla's eyes, and she looked scared while Zade didn't look like he cared one bit, “Austin, Austin is Kayla and Zade's firstborn child; he is seven yea
Blair's POV“Me?” Noah looked at Zade with confusion written on his face, “When did I ever give you such information?”“Are you saying you didn't give him such information?” Thaila furrowed her eyebrows.“No, No, never, I never liked him enough to give him any information about Blair and especially one about infertility, I had never even run such a test on her so how would I know that?” Noah defended himself in a defensive tone.What was going on? “I will definitely cut off your tongue for lying,” Thaila hissed, her eyes looking around for anything to hit Zade.“Noah, I had seen the result too,” I said in a low tone, I was scared and hid behind Ace.“What result do you keep talking about? I had never run an infertility test on you before,” Noah defended again.“When I was in college, Zade and I saw the result in your office. You took my urine and blood sample, you took a scan, and you also prescribed drugs for me. Can you remember?” I replied with confusion. How could he have forgott
Blair's POV “Can we not go home?” I asked when Ace finished paying for the drugs at the pharmacy. “It's already late; we have been outside for hours,” Ace said; I opened the bottle of water and drank the drugs. “I know somewhere, do you want to go there till later at night?” Ace asked and I looked at him with a smile on my face. He hasn't been here for too long but he knows a place? “Where?” “Somewhere,” Ace winked; he started the car and drove to only where he knew where. I looked at him with so much love in my eyes. I had never felt this way for anyone, and I was genuinely happy, “Thank you,” I placed my hand on his, which was on the steering wheel. “For what?” He glanced at me before concentrating on the road. “Everything,” I pecked his cheeks, and his face turned red. “Blair, since we are together for real, I wanted to tell you something important,” Ace said; I nodded my head, waiting for him to say it. He looked at me with emotions I couldn't understand, “I wil
Blair's POVMy ……my…..my….. Mom ... .what…hap…. happened…..to…mom?I couldn't form any coherent words outside. I had a lot of questions to ask, but no words came out of my mouth; everything remained in my head.Ace helped me into the car. He entered the driver's seat, and during the drive to the hospital, I just wanted to know if she had started breathing.“Ace… Ace…do….do…do…you…. think….she…will ..be….be…be…O .. okay?” I couldn't be strong anymore. I let the tears roll down my eyes.“Blair, she is going to be okay,” Ace threw me a concerned glance; I wiped the tears from my eyes and turned my face to the other side of the car, resting my head on the window.Thoughts filled my head, so many what ifs, I was scared, she is not only my mom but my best friend. When we got to the hospital, I didn't wait for Ace to park the car, I took my phone and ran into the hospital.I called Kayla to find out where I was going to meet up with them. She couldn't say anything; she kept on crying. I ende
Blair's POVI tried to open my eyes, but my head ached so much I sat up and managed to open them slowly and carefully.I scanned the room with my eyes; it was a private ward; Father, Dylan, and Stephen were sleeping on the couch. Thaila was sleeping on the other bed while Ace was sitting on the chair next to my bed, he held my hand tight and was resting his head on the bed.I gently pushed out a strand of hair from his face so I could admire the man by my side.“You are awake,” Ace lifted his head with a small smile on his face.I smiled at him, I nodded my head, I opened my mouth to reply but I didn't hear my voice.I tried again, but nothing; why can't I speak? What's going on?“Blair, what's going on?” Ace asked with concern written all over his face. I hit my chest and tried to speak, but nothing, I was forcing it, but nothing. The anger and frustration made me use my hand to push the flower vase to the floor. It broke and made everyone wake up.“Blair, calm down, I will get the
Blair's POVIt felt so unreal watching the coffin being laid to rest. It's strange how fast the night could change and January first forever changed my life. This was the reality check that was needed and nothing else.It's been a few days, and I still couldn't speak; everyone was in black, and they had a napkin or cloth in their hand to wipe their tears while I had nothing, and my eyes were void of tears.Ace touched my hand. I looked at him, and he pointed at my phone; I opened my phone to see his text, “Are you okay?” I nodded my head with a smile on my face.Ace has been such a sweetheart; for the past few days, he hasn't said a single word to me or anyone; he had been communicating with his phone, and this was the first time I was coming out of my room, so no one has been able to suspect anything.I wiped the lone tears that rolled down my eyes as I poured sand on the grave. My legs gave up on me and I sat on the floor. I didn't think I would cry, but I saw myself crying like a b
Blair's POVMy eyes darted between Ace and Ziora, does he know how? She sure knows him.“Blair needs a lot of rest; I should take her to her room,” Ace held my hand, but Ziora held his.“I asked what was going on,” Ziora repeated sternly.“Ziora, let go of my hand this instant,” Ace's tone hardened. I have never heard him talk like this.Ziora looked at me with anger, but she removed her hand and turned to me, “Is he the new guy you posted on your social media?”My eyes fell on Ace, who seemed uninterested in staying around Ziora. They sure did know each other.“I take your silence as yes,” Ziora said; I was going to answer, but I got distracted; I really hoped she wouldn't take it the wrong way, “You bastard.”“I will talk to you later,” Ace glared at Ziora, “For now, I want to take her to her room.”Did I make a mistake? I hope I wasn't wrong about Ace. I removed his hand from mine, brought out my phone, and texted him, “Handle your business; I will be inside.”“I promise, it's not
