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
A Christmas Romance 019
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
A Christmas Romance 021
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
A Christmas Romance 022
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
A Christmas Romance 023
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
A Christmas Romance 025
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
