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

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

Blair's POV“To what do we owe this visit Mr Kendrick?” Dad shaked the lawyer and led him up to the living room upstairs. My dad's children, Grandma, Grandma, Ace, and I followed upstairs. We all sat down and waited for the lawyer to say something. He expressed his grief, then brought out a file and handed it to Dad, “This was the cause of her death. I was on the phone with her when she had a cardiac arrest, but I couldn't do anything.”Dad read through it and it looked like he didn't understand a thing, “I don't understand what this is about.”“It's a business deal she signed with a construction company, they suddenly backed out because one of the king's companies offered them a bigger deal, leaving Mrs. CeCe's company in big debt,” the lawyer let out a breath, “It came as a shock when she found out one of the sub-company was going to sue her and she could lose everything.”“Why didn't you talk to someone else? You are her lawyer but I am also sure you knew her heart was fragile,”

Ace's POVThese past few weeks have been nothing but pure torture: my family is constantly talking about my wedding, Ziora keeps sending invites, but nothing from Blair; I haven't even heard one word from her or seen any post from her.“What was it you said you wanted,” Mother finally paid attention to me.“I can't spend the rest of my life with Ziora,” I said for the hundredth time today.“Ziora would make a perfect queen,” Mother said with a smile on her face.“Yes, Ziora would make a perfect queen, but she will ruin my life; she isn't who she appears to be; she is worse than the devil,” I tried to explain.“What do you mean?” Mother's eyebrows furrowed, “I have known Ziora for a very long time but let's hear your side of the story.”“She is a walking maniac; she is the devil; that girl once burnt my car; the worst was when she set the villa on fire, knowing fully well I was inside,” I explained, hoping she would understand.“You said the gas exploded, did you lie?” Mother asked an

You know it's bad for you and the baby so please stop.”I smiled, took the drugs from her hand, and drank from it, “I was just bored.” Ever since Clover found out about my pregnancy, she has been nothing but a sweetheart.Clover sat near me, “Do you still want him?”

Blair's POVEveryone stood Frozen as the bullet went off and blood splashed on my face. My body went numb, I heard the gunshot sound but I didn't feel any pain.I opened my eyes when I heard Kayla laughed, it wasn't a happy laughter but a painful one.I quickly held on to her as she fell to the ground, “Kayla!!” I yelled, my voice bringing everyone's mind back.Everything happened so fast; the next thing I saw was Dylan with the gun Zade was holding, and some of my other cousins were holding Zade to the ground.“My baby,” Kayla's Mom cried.“I…..I…. don't…. know…..if….I…will….. make…..it…..out…..so….. please…” Kayla began to cough.“Please don't say anything, please,” I pleaded in tears.

Blair's POVThese few hours were the worst of my life; I was hanging by a thread, waiting for the results to be out. Everyone was neutral while me and Kayla were anxious. This decision will determine part of our lives.“Come to think of it, were those really sleeping pills?” Stephen stood up, “I mean, The so-called Ace doesn't know anything about Mother's health, so he wouldn't give her any sleeping pills.”“Dylan, that's what I have been trying to tell you since last night,” Thaila said, “Ace had no reason to put sleeping pills in his water.”“Let's wait till the result is out, only then would I know who to kill,” Dylan said sternly.Ace, pleas,e I beg you, I beg you with my life, Ac,e please don't embarrass me, please.“Zade, if you know anything about this, please tell me now,” I heard Kayla say to Zade.“Shut up you bitch, I'm trying to think!!” Zade's voice brought our attention to him.“What are you trying to think about?” Dylan yelled, “You better be clean.

Ace's POVSeeing Ziora at Aunty CeCe's funeral was something I didn't expect. It never crossed my mind that they knew each other or they worked in the same media company.“I knew you weren't dead, but I didn't think you would be here, how did you even meet her?” Ziora asked so many questions I had no interest in answering.“Why should I tell you about my personal life?” I raised my eyebrows, “You came to pay your respect, just do that and don't cause any trouble.”“You are dating her? Does she know who you really are?” Ziora asked slyly.“Why? Do you want to set her house on fire? What madness do you want to perform?” I questioned. She was always doing one crazy thing when she didn't get her way.“No, I don't want to set anything on fire and I'm guessing she doesn't know about your identity,” Ziora placed her hand on my chest, “I was just thinking of the look on her face when we walk down the aisle together or when they announce we are welcoming a child.”“You are delusional,” I scoff

Blair's POVWhat?“What the heck did you just say?” Ace said he sounded surprised by whatever had just come out of Noah's mouth.“What does that mean?” Thaila's voice broke.“The only person who drinks vitamin water in this house is Ace, and those sleeping pills had been dissolved in that vitamin water,” Noah said, but to me, he wasn't making any sense.“Obviously, he takes vitamin water but what does that have to do with him?” I asked, “Make me understand what you are saying.”“I'm simply saying Ace was the one who made Aunty drink from his vitamin water that day,” Noah explained, and I lost my balance.I was about to fall when Stephen held me, “Are you good?” He asked and I didn't have an answer to his question right now.“Yes I did Aunty Cece drink from my vitamin water that morning, so what's the big deal?” Ace questioned, “I also drank from the same water.”“That's the water the sleeping pills were dissolved into; Zade clearly told you not to give Aunty Cece that water, but you d

Blair's POV “My Blair just spoke,” Thaila hugged me but I stood Frozen under her embrace. I pulled away when my boss's call came in; I picked up the call. I hadn't even said anything when he said, “You fool, you let someone else publish the marriage article before you did; why..” I ended the call before he could finish barking. “Are you okay?” Thaila asked. I couldn't answer because I wasn't okay. “Where is Ace?” I clenched my fist. How dare he? “He was downstairs just now,” Thaila pointed at the door. I dropped my phone on the bed, opened the closet, brought out all Ace's belongings and put them inside the luggage he brought to my house, and drew them from upstairs to downstairs. “What's going on?” Dylan asked; I ignored him, entered my room, brought out the remaining belongings I could find, and threw them downstairs. “Nobody should interfere in my life right now,” I said when I got downstairs. “Everyone is grieving, and you are causing drama,” Kayla scoffed, “Oh my gosh,”

Blair's POV “I'm sorry I couldn't come here earlier. I wanted to attend the funeral, but I had to leave town for some work,” Clover hugged me, “You know how my grandpa is, right?” I hugged her tighter, “Where is Ace?” I brought out my phone and typed, “Ace is sorting out some issues related to the family company, I wanted to talk to you about something.” Tears rolled down Clover's eyes, “Oh look what happened to you, you can't even speak.” Clover's tears were making me emotional. I tried to hold it, but I couldn't, so I burst into tears. I never thought the day I and Clover would talk about my mother would come soon. She wiped the tears off my face, “Let's be strong; we got this.” I nodded my head and smiled at her, “I want you to tell your boyfriend to look into Ziora, she is a girl from my office.” “The girl who has a rich boyfriend?” Clover asked, and I nodded my head, “I don't think she has anything to do with Ace. I mean, she is rich and rolls with rich people, so I don't
