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. Noah picked the cousins who were in the medical field to assist him, they all entered the suite and shut the door behind them.
Ace's POVEveryone in this household was crazy and at the same time caring. They cared for each other but also wanted drama.These few days have been fun, I enjoyed their laughter, their anger, and their arguments. It wasn't like a home where everyone had to live according to protocol, where we the royal family were not allowed to show each other our emotions.I was in the room when I heard Grandma's voice, she screamed and I ran to check what was making her scream. I saw Blair hanging by the window, what the fuck? How did she even get there? Without thinking twice, I ran outside to help her, and she was already falling. “ACE!!!” was the name that Blair screamed in her moment between death and life. At that moment I felt like my world would come to an end if something happened to her, I ran, caught her in my arms and we both fell to the ground. I made sure my hand protected her head from hitting the floor, “Are you okay?” I asked calmly, ignoring the pain I felt in my arm and she
