Blakeley ended the call and Alex gave her a questioning look which she ignored.

“What is your deal with Cole out of the blue?” He asked and she paid attention to him.

“He just decided to check up on me.” She replied and Alex decided not to ask any further questions.

“Blakeley.” He called and walked closer to her, he stood a few inches from her and she stared at him.

“You know I don't care about Kiara right?”

“So why are you getting married to her? Because your father asked you to?”

“It is complicated.” He replied.

“You made a promise Alex.” Blakeley said as she tried her best to fight back the tears welling up in her eyes, she might be acting so tough but she isn't. All these are hurting her like hell!

“And I haven't broken it yet. Getting married to her means nothing Blakeley, I don't care about Kiara.” He assured her and moved closer to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled at her.

Blakeley’s heart melted and she sighed.

“It is not funny Alex.” She said and he lift

    Blakeley walked out of the room with Austin and they both chatted about the game.“You cheated.” Blakeley said and he laughed.“No, I didn't. You are not just very good at chess.” He replied as they got to the stairs. They both walked down together and she held his hand so he wouldn't trip. They got down the stairs and met Kiara in the living room and she was on a phone call. She ended it immediately as she saw them, she was surprised to see her son with Blakeley, and she held his hand.“Austin, come here.” She ordered and he let go of Blakeley, he smiled at her before walking to his mother, she checked his hand dramatically as he got to her and Blakeley rolled her eyes.“I’m fine mum.” He said and she sighed in relief.“I played chess with Blakeley, she is a really nice person, Mum.” Austin said and Kiara looked at Blakeley, Blakeley ignored her look as she walked to the dining.

    Blakeley stood in front of the mirror as she applied the lipstick in her hand on her lips, she cleaned the sides of her lips and smirked to make them look perfect. She ran her hands through her hair and was pleased with her reflection, she stared and admired herself. The beep from her phone distracted her from her admiration, she picked up her phone and read the text Cassie sent.“I’m outside” She read and took a look at herself in the mirror one last time before walking out of her room. She walked down the stairs and Logan bowed at her, she smiled warmly at him before walking out. She got out and met Cassie in her car, she entered and Cassie raised her brows.“Woah.” She muttered.“What?” Blakeley asked.“Did you cry again?” Cassie asked, noticing her eye bags, Blakeley smiled and shook her head in response. She thought she did a good job hiding them with the make up.“I didn't cry.”“That's a lie. I mean, the eye bags aren't obvious. Trust me you did a good job but I know you, Bl

    Blakeley wiped her tears repeatedly as she walked out of the building, she was at the back door that she and Cassie used earlier. There wasn't anyone around, she wanted to stop crying but she couldn't, she was scared, heartbroken and in pain at the same time. The alcohol was doing a lot of work in making her feel emotional.Her phone suddenly rang and with tears in her eyes, she looked at the screen, it was Cole calling. She picked up the call immediately and placed it at her ear.“Blakeley, I just want to check up on you, you are drunk already and you left… ““Cole.” She cut him off as she cried out his name.“Shit. Are you hurt? Where are you?” “The back door to the main building.” She replied in tears and sniffed.“I’m coming.” He replied and she ended the call, she ran her hands through her hair and sniffed. After a minute, she heard her name being called and she turned to see Cole.“Blakeley.” He called and rushed to her as he noticed her, Blakeley hugged him tightly as she saw

    “Thank you.” Blakeley muttered as she took the cup of tea Cole handed her. She had already taken her bath and sobered up already. She was sitting on his bed with her legs folded, she was dressed in his clothes too. He sat in front of her and stared at her as she drank the tea.“So, want to talk about it?” He asked and she shook her head and withdrew the cup from her mouth, she dropped it on the tray and Cole carried it off the bed, he dropped it on the table before joining her on the bed again but this time, he moved a little bit closer to her.“You are not wearing your ring anymore.” He noticed her empty finger, she glanced at it and nodded in response. “You are no longer married to Alex?” He asked and she tucked her hair behind her ear.“I guess so.” She replied. Her voice has gotten better a little but it was low. “So you are single?”“Back in the streets.” She replied with an eye roll and he chuckled.“Does that give me a chance now?” He teased and she smiled.“Cassie likes you

    Blakeley rushed into her room and slammed the door, she fell to the floor immediately and started to cry. As she cried, she placed her hand on her stomach and shut her eyes tightly, it hurt so much.Everyone around her is hurting her, she has been a fool all along, and they made her a toy to play with. How could she be so gullible? Cole was right, she isn't too innocent or kind, she is just a fool who thinks she got the hang of how the rich lifestyle works.She should have listened to Alex and left, the day he took her to her parent's house, she should have just stayed back and lived happily with them. She thought her love for him was strong enough to hold the relationship and with time, he would love her. She felt like he was already starting to love her but it was all just in her head, she was just being played. Blakeley cried for hours till her body couldn't take it anymore, her head was hurting, her body was weak, and the floor was cold but she was too weak to get up, she shut h

What makes you wish that?” Blakeley asked. “Because you are a great person Blakeley and you will be a great mum, your children would be so lucky to have you.” He said and Blakeley started to get teary again. It meant a lot to her because she was pregnant. Finally, she felt positive about the pregnancy, until that moment she had thought of aborting it.Blakeley sniffed and Austin raised his brow in confusion wondering if he said something wrong.“I’m sorry, did I say something wrong?” He asked and she shook her head in tears.“Come here.” She said, spreading her arms wide, Austin smiled and stood up, they were sitting opposite each other. He rushed to her and she carried him on her lap, she wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes.“Why are you crying?” Austin asked and she sniffed then looked up at him.“I wish to have a great kid like you.” She said and his face lit up.“Really?” He asked and Blakeley nodded in response which made him giggle happily. **********DAYS

    “Just calm down Cassie, breathe.” Scott said as he tried to calm her, she kept on pacing calling Blakeley repeatedly but the call wasn't connecting. “I have to go to the mansion.” She said and was about to rush to the parking lot but Scott pulled her back.“Calm your fucking nerves down, people are starting to stare at you, you know how important this day is to your family and besides, you can't drive when you are like this.” Scott said and she sighed.She looked around and truly people were starting to stare at her, people going in and out of the church.“I have to get to… “ Cassie trailed off as the people around them started to gasp and stare at their phones.“What?

    “What do you mean? In a bad way or in a good way? You still want to have your revenge?” Bryan asked but he ignored their question. “Make yourselves comfortable and Bryar. I changed my mind, you are not going for the shoot.” He said and she gasped and frowned.“But… but there will be a lot of cute guys there.”“More reasons you shouldn't go.” Bryan said and she groaned.“Ugh! What the fuck is your problem? Why don't you just let me be with just one boy? You keep beating up every guy that asks me out, yet you have girlfriends. Will I end up dating you?” She asked and he rolled his eyes.“You are fucking dumb and gullible Bryar. Just sweet words get to you and you give everybody a chance in your life. Trust me, if you weren't my sister, I would have broken your heart a million times. Until you fucking get smart, I will keep doing that.” He said and tears welled up in Bryar’s eyes as she stared at him. “And you can cry all you want, I don't care.

She was enjoying what was going on.The sirens got louder and Blakeley hummed alongside it.“Oh, she is sick in the head already.” Cassie muttered.“Blakeley, you will get arrested.” Austin said worriedly.“Oh, don't worry kid. I won't, I am not just ready to leave yet.”“Mum. You really don't have to do this. You can explain to the cops and you will get Grandpa arrested.
