A Christmas Romance Hired for Christmas 008
Blair's POVI had told Ace not to bring up the matter and he was strictly here to pretend to be my boyfriend and not to interfere in my personal affairs.I had excused myself from the room and came to Thaila's room so Ace wouldn't ask anything.“The way he protected you was so manly,” Thaila praised, “So where did you meet this gentleman?”Ever since I stepped into Thaila's room, she hasn't stopped gushing over Ace. I had never lied to her and even now, I don't plan on lying to her.I avoided looking at her eyes and said, “On the street.”“On the street?” Thalia asked as if she hadn't heard me earlier.“I met him on the street one random night,” A small smile stretched on my face as the event of that night played in my head.“The streets, fair enough, I didn't know you randomly meet those kinds of guys on the street,” Thaila smiled mischievously, “So how long have you both been together? How long have you known each other?”The question I have been treading was finally asked, I didn'

Blair's POV“I will wash up first,” I picked up my nightwear and towel and entered the bathroom.“Okay,” I heard him say before I entered the bathroom.The dinner was quite a silent, awkward, and eventful one. Everyone was trying not to make a mistake in front of I and Kayla. I acted like I didn't care but deep down, it was eating me up, I wanted to know why he did that.I tried to remove everything from my mind, I needed to act strong like it didn't affect me. I finished having my bath and went to the room.I met Ace sleeping on the couch with his glasses still on his eyes. I felt guilty about the way Ace folded his body on the small couch, tomorrow I will tell him to sleep on the bed while I take the couch.I removed his glasses and noticed how handsome he was without them, he had well-defined features. Maybe if we had met under a different circumstance, I would have introduced him to one of my sisters and made Grandpa or Father set him up with a good business. After I finished adm

Blair's POVI spent days thinking of the word Ace made that morning, Who really was he? I hope I didn't make a mistake.“Blair,” I looked at my cousin whose voice brought me out of my own world and she seemed pissed for some reason.“What?” I asked innocently, I wondered when she arrived here.“What? I have been calling you for the past thirty minutes,” She said, I looked down at my phone and saw multiple missed calls.“I'm sorry,” I apologized.“What else is on the list?” She said, clearly irritated, I was about to give her the list when she dragged it off my hand and walked away.Today was Christmas Eve, and we were shopping to decorate the house, we normally do it before time but today it was late, and not the whole family was around.I rested my head on my legs as my hand found its way to my tummy, it had been hurting a lot, “We need to talk,” I raised my head when I heard Zade's voice.“Talk about what?” I managed to say.“About that bastard that you brought home,” Zade said and

Blair's POV“Everyone come downstairs!!” she began screaming. Elena began running round the living room and I ran after her. What does this girl want to say and what exactly did she hear?Everybody came downstairs and started asking what was going on.“Why do you keep disturbing the peace of the house?” Grandma asked sternly and Elena stopped running around.Elena looked at me, “I wanted to tell everyone that Blair and Ace are not in a romantic relationship, they only share a brother-sister relationship.”I bit my lips and closed my eyes when Elena said that, meaning she had heard everything we said.“What nonsense are you spewing?” Noah asked with irritation all over his face.“Wait, wait, I don't think Elena is spewing nonsense,” Amusement sparkled in Zade's voice, “I know she can't move on so quickly, it's impossible, so Blair honey, what is Elena saying?”Fuck what do I do? How do I answer this, my eyes found Thalia's eyes and she signaled for me to do something crazy.“Fake?” I t

Blair's POV“I knew he was a golden retriever,” Clover said excitedly, “So your Grandma wants you to get married to your golden retriever fake boyfriend, how are you going to do that?”I had excused myself and came to Clover's home to chat with her after having the soup and tea Ace made. Clover's home was already decorated and ready for Christmas. My home wasn't far from Clover's home.“Ace is nice you know,” I smiled and Clover scrunched her nose.“You barely know him,” Clover gave me a reality check and sat next to me on the porch, “He could be showing you what you want to see.”“Clover,” I pouted, “These few days made me feel like I never knew Zade at all.”“Alec was right,” Clover muttered under her breath but I heard her.“What did Alec say?” My curiosity made me ask. Alec and Zade had been friends right from childhood but something happened between them and they weren't so close anymore.“Six years ago, Alec had told me to break your relationship with Zade, he said Zade wasn't r

Blair's POVI balled my hand into a fist as anger surged through my veins, anger clouded my head and without thinking twice, I walked up to Kayla and gave her a dirty slap across the face.“Blair!” Zade shouted and Kayla stared at me with shock on her face.“Don't you dare raise your filthy voice at me,” I warned Zade and turned to Kayla, “You sly bastard, you wanted to kill me, for what reason exactly?”“I…didn't_”“Don't you dare lie to me,” I interrupted her lying tongue, “Else I will hit you again.”“Kayla, did you lose the screw on purpose?” Grandpa asked, “Kayla I'm talking to you!” Grandpa's voice sounded like thunder when he should at Kayla and everyone immediately went silent.“I.. I.. just wanted to teach her a small lesson,” Kayla lowered her gaze and I immediately felt disgusted.“She could have died!” Ace yelled and the anger in his voice was evident. I knew someone was going to yell at her but it was surprising coming from Ace.“Then let her!!” Kayla yelled, surprising a

Blair's POV“Have you decided?” Mother asked, I looked at everyone's eyes and they all avoided my eyes.What do I do now? Ace was here because of me, how could I choose between Ace and my mother?I'm thirty-one years old and still couldn't make any decisions on my own. Tears filled my eyes, if anything happened to Ace, how would I explain? I will never forgive myself.“Blair, you should think carefully about this,” Thaila said, “Your life is at stake, our mother will always forgive you but Ace doesn't know anywhere, think carefully.”I understood what she was saying but I had never gone against my mother or Grandma before. “I will send out a dispatch to look for him,” Grandma said, “He will be okay.”I nodded my head, “Thank you for choosing your mother,” Mother planted a kiss on my forehead, “Please step back and trust me.”“Why?” I muttered, before I could understand what was going on Mother took my phone from my hand, she pushed me forcefully and I fell on the floor. I stood up bu

Blair's POV“Noah!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, “Please help me!!” I cried out from the living room downstairs.“Noah!! please come downstairs!!” I cried out and everyone began to come downstairs.“Blair, why are you screaming?” Noah paused, “Why didn't the cops take him to the hospital?”“I…I…brought him back,” I held Noah's hand and dragged him to where Ace was lying down, “Please check him, please, his pulse was weak earlier, please don't let anything happen to him.”Noah's eyes softened as he looked at my eyes, “Someone get my medical kit,” he ordered without hesitation and the youngest cousin went to get it. When our youngest cousin came down with the medical kit, Noah checked him thoroughly with his medical equipment. “Let's take him to my medical suite,” Noah said.Noah and my other cousin helped carry an unconscious Ace to the medical suite.

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

She woke up, she asked about Zade, when they told her about him, she immediately went into labor.I felt bad for her, but she was recovering with the help of our family, and Zade was facing trial.

It was always about Ace and Ziora, and it was on every Chanel. He said he would fix it, I knew I left but a part wanted him to fix it.“You forgot to take your drugs,” Clover turned off the TV and kept the remote far from me, “Why do you keep watching the news? 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. I and Kayla may not see eye to eye but I didn't want anything to happen to her or her child.“Don't move, and you will be fine,” Noah carried Kayla to his car; he put her to lie down gently and entered the driver's seat.“We will be in the other car,” Father held my hand to the other car. One car woul

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.

A Christmas Romance 038
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
A Christmas Romance 037
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
