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,”
Blair's POV “You keep slacking behind!” My boss raised his voice at me as he used the document in his hand to hit my head continuously. “I'm sorry sir,” I apologize with my gaze lowered, not daring to meet him. I wish my eyes could kill, so my eyes would kill him now. “Sorry, sorry?” He laughed and threw the documents on the floor, “Are you doing this because your grandfather is the minister of aviation? Or your Grandma is a CEO? Or your rich family?” I ignored his questions and bent down to pick up the file. My boss was annoying as fuck, I don't know what his deal was, it felt like he bullied me for fun. “Sir, I'm returning home for Christmas, the minister of aviation wants me home, so I will be reporting from there,” I said in a low tone, hoping he got the message. My boss glared at me, “Get out, I don't care what you do.” I dropped the documents on the table and left his office. He hated me because I got this job through connection and I was able to keep it. “Are
Blair's POV “Blair, are you okay?” Clover hurriedly hugged me and I shook my head at her, “What happened?” she looked at me then looked at the door, “Where is Zade?” “Clover, I'm not okay Za…De.. ended every…thing…he…. didn't…give ... .me…any…ring…he.. broke…up…with…me,” I cried in Clover’s arms. Clover rubbed my hair gently and whispered comforting words into my ears, I couldn't understand where I had gone wrong, I had done everything right since I became an adult, so why did he end it? “I ..didn't …. do …anything …wrong, I…don't ....know ...why….he…ended…it..,” I sobbed louder as my heart began to feel numb. Clover excused herself from the living room and came back with a glass of water. I drank it and soon began to feel dizzy. Before I could ask about what was in the water, my eyelids began to feel heavy and I found myself falling into sleep mode. I opened my eyes to a pounding headache, when I remembered what happened yesterday, I jumped down from my bed and bolted to
Blair's POV I kept reminding myself I was doing it to get back at Zade for cheating and so my family wouldn't use the holiday to feel sorry for me and lastly for the plot. For the past few hours, I have been declining profiles and emails. I didn't like any of them and some looked weird, like they would rob or kill me. I needed someone to fit the perfect boyfriend. “I think you should go check this one out,” Clover said and I stared at his picture on the screen. He didn't look bad, he was handsome but I was older than him. We had been at it for six hours and finally found someone that was okay. “He looks good, he fits but what if he is a weirdo?” I voiced my concern to Clover. “Get ready, let's go together and figure it out,” Clover said and shut her laptop. We didn't have time, we had decided if we saw someone, we would set up a physical meeting immediately. I went to my room, freshened up, put on something comfy, and went back to the living room. We picked a cafe, convenient
Ace's POV “How long do you plan on staying here and living this lie?” My best friend and support system, Zion asked. “Zion not now, I'm very tired and would like to rest,” I brushed him off. “You need to make up your mind before January and return home, your family is worried,” Zion sat on the couch inside my room. “Are they really worried or do you just need space from me?” I raised my eyebrows playfully. “Ace, you know it isn't…” “Sir, Sir,” The cleaning lady entered my room without knocking, “You should come see this.” Without thinking twice, Zion and I ran downstairs to see my girlfriend Ziora coming out of my car drunk and the condition of my car was in a terrible state. I balled my hand into a tight fist, I just couldn't stand it anymore, “What happened?” I gritted and glared at her. I just got the car two days ago after she destroyed the former one with a fire extinguisher on purpose. Ziora walked zigzag till she fell on me, “My prince,” she giggled and she
Blair's POVI lazily opened the door and Clover jumped off the couch, “You weren't answering your phone, where were you?” Clover showed me her phone and I saw hundreds of missed calls.“I accidentally dropped my phone,” I closed the door behind me and entered the house.“Thank goodness, I thought you had done the unthinkable,” Clover placed her hand on her chest and let out a deep breath, “What are all these?” She took the bag from my hand to check the content, “You didn't take your card.”“Someone got it for me,” I sat on the couch, brought out alcohol from the bag, and drank it, “That was refreshing.”“Who?” A curious Clover sat next to me.“Some strange man, the man was fine and tall as fuck,” I explained everything to her.“So we will have to wait for an answer,” Clover said and I nodded my head, “Do you believe in fate?”What kind of question was Clover asking? “No, I don't believe in such things.”“The man we were supposed to meet for you couldn't come because his cat got into a
