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
“W… why? 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 is going on?” Scott asked and he brought out his phone from his pants pocket to check what was going on. Cassie also checked what was going on.“On runway avenue, there was an explosion due to a gas truck hitting a car, no survivors in the accident and the bodies are yet to be identified.” Scott read and Cassie ke
A WEEK LATER Alex and everyone else stood as they stared at Blakeley’s grave. It's been a week since her death, and after hearing about her death on the news, they went to the hospital a few days later and took her body. Things have been rough for Alex this week, he could barely step out of his room, eat or do anything. He didn't know he had lots of tears in his eyes cause he cried every time wishing he could turn the hands of the clock and keep his promise to her.He promised her she would be safe around him but he ended up being the reason for her death. He let his father control him till he lost her. He was aware a week ago that she wasn't leaving her room, every night he would stand in front of her room and hear her cry, he would always want to go in so he would wrap his arms around her and tell her everything was going to be okay but his pride wouldn't let him. Also his greed for what he was after also stopped him.He planned on making up with her after the wedding and when it
“What do you mean you haven't made a decision yet?” Dante asked.“I just haven't. We will be having our normal family dinner tonight, I will announce it then.” He said.“In front of everyone?” Dante asked and his father raised a brow.“You’ve got a problem with that?” He asked.“No sir.” He replied immediately.“I do. I fucking do. Can we just get this over with?” Alex asked, he was starting to get mad already. The thought of this being part of the reason Blakeley died was making him lose his mind.“Excuse me.” His father asked and he ran his hands through his hair, he was restless and his hand started to shake.“My wife fucking died because… “ He trailed off as tears welled up in his eyes, he had never been this emotional, he couldn't even think of Blakeley without having tears well up in his eyes.He scoffed and rolled his eyes, he looked away from them so they wouldn't see the tears, his father chuckled and stood up then walked to him.Alex stared at his father with tears and his f
