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

Blair's POVMy head spun as I tried to open my eyes, the morning sun shining through the curtains made it worse.I groaned, Ahh fuck, why did I sleep on the floor last night? With my eyes closed, I used my hand to search for a blanket when I felt someone's shadow on me.I immediately opened my eyes to see Ace standing in front of the curtain, “I didn't mean to wake you, I just wanted to block the sun from your face.”I sat up, “It's no problem,” I placed my hand on my head, It hurt. Ace passed me a bottle of water, I took it, emptied the glass, and gave the glass back to him, “I made tea to help you with the hangover, I hope you will be okay.”Ace handed me the tea and I took it from his hand, “Thank you.”I drank from it, it wasn't sweet but I managed to drink it. The moment I dropped the cup, yesterday's incident began to flood my mind. My eyes widened and I used my hand to cover my mouth.I couldn't remember it well, but I clearly remembered our make-out session and I initiated it

Blair's POVI got ready in navy blue pants, a beige blouse top, and a black fur coat, I carried the bag Ace gifted me. I went outside to meet Ace standing, resting on the car and his eyes were fixed on his phone.“How do I look?” I did a 360 turn for Ace and he nodded his head. I scoffed loudly so he could hear it. Like why didn't he answer? I noticed Ace and I were wearing matching outfits. I wanted to compliment him because he looked like a prince but I chose to shut up my mouth.I entered the car and slammed the door, Ace entered the car and drove silently to the address I gave him.I wonder what was up with him? Why was he behaving like that? I glanced at him once in a while to check if he was okay.We arrived at the place where we were supposed to have brunch, Ace parked the car, came down, opened the door for me, and carried my bag. We all agreed to have brunch before we do anything.He held my hand as we walked into the cafe. Alec, Zade, Kayla, and Clover were already seated a

Blair's POV “I want to look into Ace,” I said to Clover why she was arranging her makeup in the restroom.“The holiday is almost over, is there a need to do so?” Clover applied her lipstick on her lips. “I know but since the bag incident, I don't think I can trust him,” I explained, “Since he came to my house, he hasn't received any phone call or message, isn't that suspicious?”I found it suspicious how no one in his family, school, work, or even friends called. I have never seen him text anybody or even do social media.“I will give you someone's number, so you can look into him,” Clover smacked her lips together, “How do I look?”“You look good,” I said without looking at her.“Whatever,” Clover said, and I sighed, “I don't care what you do; all I know is by the end of the holiday, I will have a free 100k$ in my account.”I sighed again, I couldn't believe that money would leave my account, “Nothing might happen so I might be the one getting the free 100k$”“Blair, please can I s

Blair's POV I was scared of the answer; after fifteen years, my life was a lie after all, so what? I prepared my mind to hear the worst.Zade looked at me, “NO, I didn't, I have never loved you; I just like the fact we were the IT couple in high school and college; we could have still been the IT couple now, but I needed an offspring.”He….he… knew, I took a deep breath and placed my hand on my chest, I couldn't breathe, “How..did you know ? How long have you known?”“We were still in college, we visited your house, and I accidentally saw the result in Noah's room, but Blair, you are still my obsession, and I would love to be with you; I already have my offspring,” I shut my eyes and let the tears roll down.I was happy without knowing anything of these; why did this bastard have to say all these now? “Shut up,” I said through gritted teeth, “Everything was a lie? How could you, for once, not think how I would have felt?”Zade clicked his tongue, “I did think how you felt, and that

Blair's POV “Yes, I ..” I didn't let him finish what he was going to say as I slapped him across the cheeks and he looked at me with shock, “What was that for?”“It's your fault I was involved in that accident, why didn't you stop your car when you noticed I was trying to get rid of it?!” I yelled. Deep down I wasn't even angry about him following me, I just wanted the opportunity to scream and cry.“I wanted to make sure you were safe,” Ace scoffed, “Maybe I should have minded my business in the first place.”“Yes, maybe next time you should cause I could have died because of you,” I spat.“Don't pour your anger on me, pour it on your lover who betrayed you, I'm not the one who left you because you can't bear children,” I didn't know when I slapped him again, this time I wasn't angry, I was hurt.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…”“Thanks for saving my life,” I dragged my bag from his hand, stopped a taxi and entered before he could say anything.“Please take me to the nearest bar,” I s

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

Blair's POVAfter seeing Ace that day, I returned to the hospital and discovered that Kayla had given birth through CS. 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. Stephen and Dylan were making sure the trial went well. Everyone except Dylan called to check up on me.It's been torture watching the news these days. 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.

Blair's POV“Baby, even if Mummy isn't with you anymore, always call her in your heart, she will always hear you and give you an answer in your heart,” My mother said with a smile on her face.“Mom, I don't know what to do, You.. you…Ace…Ace,” I broke down in front of her.Mom wiped my eyes, “Mummy loves you, Ace also loves you.”“I'm so tired, I just want to come with,” Mother covered my mouth before I could finish talking and she shook her head.“Don't say that, you can't come with Mummy, your place is right there with everything, you just need to open your eyes and see what you can see,” Mum gives my hand a little squeeze, “I will also watch over you and our little angel,” She rubbed my tummy.“Mummy,” I burst into tears, “How long will it take till I see you again.”“It will take a very long time, but I will always be by your side; when you need me, call out to me in your heart, and I will be right there,” I closed my eyes as Mom kissed my forehead, “Everything will be all right,

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
