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
Blair's POVNever in a million years did I think I would spend my Christmas Eve and my Christmas taking care of someone.I couldn't spend my Christmas with everyone, but today was Boxing Day. Everyone was downstairs opening their gifts, while I on the other hand was praying for Ace to open his eyes.I threw away the water I used in cleaning his body and when I got back to the room, I saw Ace was struggling to open his eyes. I hurriedly ran downstairs and called Noah to my room. Noah checked his pulse, his eyes, and everything, “He is okay, he just needs to eat and he will be okay,” I nodded my head listening carefully, “Blair, you will drop by the pharmacy and get the drugs he needs,” Noah explained and left the room.“How are you feeling?” I dragged the chair in my room closer to the bed and touched his head to feel his body temperature.Ace coughed and I passed him a glass of water, he drank from the water and I returned the glass, “Did you get the apples?”Ace smiled and I couldn'
Blair's POVWait what? Did the Uber driver just call Ace by his name? “That was very informal, how does he know your name? And who the fuck is Ziora?”“Fuck,” Ace muttered under his breath, “Blair…I …”“Babe, you know it, Ziora would never do that for Ace, but did they break up?” Ace paused, I looked carefully and saw he had an airpod to his ear. What was I thinking? I looked at Ace to apologize then I saw he let her a breath of relief but his face soon tensed up when the driver said, “Ziora didn't agree to break up? That's bad news for Ace, rumor has it that she might be pregnant.”“Are you okay?” I touched Ace on the shoulder, he nodded his head and smiled at me.“Sir,” Ace tapped on the driver's shoulder, “You know you shouldn't be driving and making a call.”“I'm sorry,” the driver apologized, he tapped on his airpod, he dropped his phone and airpod on the passenger seat before focusing on the road.There was something about Ace since he heard the driver's phone call, he looked l
Blair's POVI left Clover's house when her boyfriend came around because I didn't want to be the third wheel and I wanted to ask Ace if he was down for the date.When I arrived home, the house was so quiet, I was going up to my room when I heard little cringing noises coming from my mother's room so I went there and saw everyone trying to peep inside her room.“What's going on?” I asked but no one answered me. I tried to look but I couldn't see inside because of my tall cousins standing by the door.I turned to leave when I heard, “Please forgive her,” I paused, why did I just hear Ace's voice?Without hesitation, I scaled my way through to my mother's room, my jaw dropped at the sight before me. Ace was kneeling, his hands were on his knees and his gaze was lowered.“What's going on here?” I entered the room, “Why is Ace kneeling in your room?” My eyes met Mom's eyes, “Mom, did you make him do it?”“What? Blair,” Mother looked at me with disbelief, “How…how can you say that? Do.. do.
Blair's POV“Which eyes?” Ace asked and my face reddened even more. I used my hands to cover my face.I didn't know he heard Thaila from that far, I squeezed my face at Thaila and mouthed, “How could you be that loud.”“It's nothing much, she was just looking at our Mother with love,” Thaila lied to Ace.“Sir, Mrs Thaila, I and the boys are done with it,” A man said to Ace and Thaila. He looked like he came to do some work in the house. “Sure,” Ace smiled, he brought his wallet and handed them money.“Which work did they do here?” I asked, Thaila and Ace looked at themselves with a smile on their face. They were definitely up to something.“Just some work,” Thaila said and Ace nodded his head in agreement.I don't know what it is but I sure know they were up to something.“We should go and make dinner,” Grandma said, “We have to prepare for movie night tonight.”“Ace and Blair would not be joining us for dinner and movie night,” Thaila stood up from the chair.“Why?” Mother asked wit
