Those words were repeating in her head like a broken record. Just how vulnerable could she be? And how foolish did Dylan think she was? Because he must really have thought of her to be a big fool—which she actually was.It was very easy for him to fool her, because that was how she was. Blair who was easily fooled, easily broken, easily used, easily dumped and discarded.The tears she had been trying to control filled her eyes and began to overflow like a dam. It poured down he cheeks, and no matter how much she kept wiping and wiping it off, it kept coming back, and even more."Gav please stop the car," she said to the driver, her voice coming out a lot more shaky than she had expected."Are you okay, Miss?" He questioned."I don't know, just turn the car back, please.""But we're almost there-""Turn the freaking car! Please…" she trailed off, letting out a heavy sob.The driver went silent, then reversed and turned the car back."Where are you headed?"Blair didn't even know where
Blair was definitely astounded, he had lied to her. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes ready to spill but she kept blinking them back. She held her chest tightly as if something was trying to pull out her heart. How was he able to pretend? She thought.The words, the affections, the intense love making and most of all the changes she saw in him, how was he able to keep the act? She kept asking herself questions that she definitely couldn't answer even if she wanted to. Tears finally dropped one after the other without control, she had been used, like a fool.She nearly forgot that she was going to meet him at a restaurant tonight, they had already gone far from home but she didn't care.All she wanted was to get out of the car and disappear, to run away from the man who caused her immense pain and suffering, the man who ripped out her heart from her chest without any mercy."Gav, please stop the car" she spoke, her voice was raspy from crying and she was sure that h noticed."Ma'
Dylan placed a call to his security team, dishing out instructions that they would use to track Blair. He couldn't lose her, not now, not ever.He drove to the station where Gav is supposed to be at. When he got there Gav had already explained to them and they were on the case."Mr Lancaster, we already spoke to your driver. We will try to find a lead, we will check the CCTV footage in the area and get back to you" the detective assured."Thank you detective." He responded.Dylan kept trying to call her just in case her phone was turned on. It was still off, he called Samantha next."Dylan? What do you want?" She queried."Blair has gone missing Samantha, do you have any idea where she might be? Or is she with you?" He rushed.She was quiet for a while letting what he said sink in."What! Blair is missing? Are you sure? Is this a joke? She's not with me Dylan" she panicked."Of course it's not a joke, why would I make it up?" He snapped."Oh God, what have you done? Did you say anythi
After an hour of tracking the number, his team was able to find the driver of the taxi that she took. They also found his address and every other thing that was necessary. The man was just doing his job of taking someone in his car so Dylan couldn't blame him.The only thing he wanted to know was where he took his wife. So Dylan and a few bodyguards paid the driver a visit.Knock knock. He tapped on the man's door. Dylan was not planning on resorting to violence, as Blair would say. He fucking missed her.The driver opened his door."Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?" He asked.Dylan did not waste time asking his questions."Do you happen to remember a certain woman that you carried in your car last night?" He asked."Uh you have to be a little specific sir, I carried different people last night." The man answered.Dylan chuckled." Really? Okay then. She seemed to be wearing a purple jumpsuit." He described.The man scratched the back of his head, thinking about anybody by that
Dylan was fuming. He kept pondering on the reasons why Blair left. What did she find? He couldn't say for sure, in fact he didn't know. The only thing that was left for him to do was to find the apartment that she was in. In a way he struggled to act, he knew where she was and could easily find her now but he could not bring himself to go.He became scared, especially because he learnt that she left on her own. That meant a lot of things to Dylan.Dylan didn't tell anyone about the situation, the only person that knew was Samantha and he was sure he warned her not to alert Blair's parents. At least until he was sure of her whereabouts. He didn't even tell his friends and he was sure they suspected him of doing something in secret."Fuck!" He screamed and threw his phone on the wall, shattering it to pieces."Fuck this Blair." He held his head with his hands sobbing.The problem Dylan had at that point was not the fact that he had a hard time finding her but that she left on her own.A
The next morning came and Dylan was set to find Blair. But first he had to find the exact apartment where she was and who she was with.He already informed the police of what he found and they volunteered to help him with the CCTV footage of that particular night.Dylan, his best friend and the detective watched the video together.The video showed that she got into the building and knocked on a door. The door opened and revealed someone very familiar to Dylan.Someone he loathed. Richard. He banged the table immediately."That son of a bitch! She's with that bastard? This has to be a joke! Am I seeing this correctly guys?" He screamed, he was angry.Of all people, he never thought that she would be with Richard. Richard? The bastard who left her when they were supposed to get married, he recalled.Dylan was hurt. Hurt that she sought his help instead of Dylan's. It broke him to pieces at that moment."Do you know this man sir?" The detective asked."I do, he was my wife's ex lover be
Blair was still trying to make sense of it all. Sitting all alone in the now empty living room, she was staring into space, as what she had just learned was still a shock to her. Dylan had left her in the living room so he could go brew coffee for her to drink. Somehow she wished he was with her right now because of the thoughts rushing through her mind, and somehow she was glad she didn’t see his face at the moment because she had doubted him. In all honesty, if anyone had told her that this would happen, she would have said it so plainly with everything in her that it was a lie. But as some would say, “you should never trust people to that extent”.But Samantha was different. They had been best friends for over ten years. They had watched each other grow, gotten into trouble for each other, and even had plans for how their weddings would be. It was safe to even say that they had spent more than half of their lives forever. Somehow she felt like she should just barge into Richard’s a
Dylan thought about telling both their parents but he decided not to. He felt he should let Blair make the decision.So he sent her a text message because he knew that she would not pick his calls.He had slept off with her nightdress in his hands. He wanted to feel like he was actually holding her like he always did every night.Her scent filled his senses. He missed her like crazy every single day. Ever since he knew he loved her, he never imagined life without her in it. He started to put her first before every other person and before anything.Their one year agreement was to end soon and they would have to sign divorce papers. He shook his mind from the thought.How can I ever live without her? Dylan thought.She was the one who changed him, changed his life for the better. So why now? Why was she leaving? He thought.So many questions filled his head waiting to come out of his lips.He wished he could talk to her one more time. Ask her to investigate the case together. But they w
Blair told her mom everything that happened with Samantha, from the day she found the false pictures to the day Samantha was arrested.Her mom listened to her attentively."So that's it, mom." Blair finished. Her eyes shone as she spoke, but there was nothing more she could say."Wow, to think that I treated her like my daughter. I even let her sleep in this house several times. I'm so shocked and I'm glad that she didn't hurt you and Dylan physically." Her mom responded in amazement."Yes mom, I can't really explain how I felt when I found out that she was behind everything. She never thought of me as her friend and it made me so sad, mom. But I guess everyone meets one or two fake people, right?" She laughed as she sipped her wine."I'm really sorry, Blair. I didn't know that you were going through all of us. I wish you told us, we would have found a way to help you. I'm sorry my dear, I'm sorry that you lost a friend." Her mother felt bad for what happened to Blair.She blamed hers
Blair and Tamara planned Dylan's surprise party for days, it helped take her mind off the fact that she was pregnant. She kept it a secret and did not tell anyone about it. Dylan's birthday was in two days and she was almost ready for it, the oy thing that bothered her was the news of her pregnancy.Blair spoke to her doctor already and she begged her not to tell anyone about it yet.She was arranging her closet when her phone rang, it was her mom. She picked the call and put it on speaker."Hello? Mom?" She called."Hello, my dear. How are you? I am really sorry that I haven't called you. I saw the news about Samantha." Her mom said."I'm fine, mom. How are you? Samantha used us, mom." Blair told her."I'm very well, Blair. Why don't we have dinner tomorrow? We can talk better, I hope you are okay? I know how close you two were.""Yeah, sure mom. I'll let Dylan know and I'm fine mom." Blair said.She arranged the last of her clothes and moved to Dylan's side of the room."Alright, I
The next day, Blair prepared to go to the doctor's office for her pregnancy test and check up.Dylan had already left for work early that morning, leaving Blair alone in bed."Donna, I'll be going for my medications and my checkup. I'll be back later." She informed Donna as she passed through the kitchen."Alright, be careful and take care.""Sure, bye." Blair took her car key from the drawer where they kept the car keys.Blair had not driven since forever and she kind of missed it because she could do things herself when she drove around.When she got to the hospital, she bumped into Tamara."Blair!' Tamara screamed."Tamara." Blair grinned.They hugged each other."What are you doing here?" Tamara asked."Oh, I came for a check up and to collect some medications. How about you?" Blair asked her."I came to collect the kids' prescription, they are kind of down with some weird infection that they caught in school." Tamara answered."Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about that. Are they ge
The warrant had already been made and the detective and a few policemen headed to Samantha's house.Samantha's informant had just gotten to the police station by the time they left. He wanted to speak to the guy that was taken and locked up.He explained to the man at the front desk but he wasn't allowed to speak to him. Frustrated and ready to leave after all the pleas, Blair and Dylan walked into the station.The man quickly recognized Blair as Samantha's enemy. It clicked into his mind that she was the one who planned everything. The fact that she was with Dylan as well was proof enough.He quickly rushed out of the station to call Samantha.~~~~~The detective banged on Samantha's door severally before she opened it.She lived in a condominium in an exclusive estate. The building was like that of a hotel, it was elegant and expensive looking.He thought that she must have a lot of money to live there or it wasn't hers."Who are you? And how may I help you?" She asked when she open
The whole cooking experience for Blair was nothing short of relief for Blair. It completely relieved her of stress and overthinking.Although Donna didn't let her do much because she wasn't completely strong, the little that she did made her cheer.In some other households that Blair came across in the past, the owners of the house barely interacted with their workers. They didn't talk to them or ask them how they felt about certain rules and certain things that happened in the house. Everything was just as it is, formality was taken seriously.Blair didn't want that in her household. She wanted a family, where everyone is treated with respect and kindness. A place where even the security guards were comfortable, where the workers could make friends and be happy.But that didn't mean that they were going to be tolerated if they abused her act of kindness towards them. What Blair hated the most was people who took kindness for hours."The food is done and ready, Blair," Donna announced
The movie went on for almost two hours. This time they finished the movie with their eyes open; they didn't fall asleep."That was a nice movie." Blair complimented.She let Dylan decide everything, from the movies to the snacks. "Yeah, it was. I picked it." He answered with pride."Shut up." She smacked his head."Ow, it seems like you're better now." He complained."Not really." She muttered."Oh really? How come your fists are working perfectly?" He smirked."Ugh, fine. You are so annoying." She groaned.Dylan laughed.Blair's phone rang, it was beside her. She picked it up and checked who it was."Richard?" She said out loud."What? Why would he be calling you?" Dylan asked."I have no idea. Let's find out, Dylan. I'll put it on speaker, so please don't make any sound." She begged him."Alright! Alright, jeez, what do you take me for?" He frowned."You're gonna ask that now?" She chuckled."Why not?" He asked."Darn, the phone isn't ringing anymore. You better pray he calls again
The next morning, Dylan woke up first. He forgot to ask her if he should stay with her and not go to work.He thought deeply about it because he had a very important meeting with an investor from Spain. His wife was also very sick and he didn't want to leave her. Donna might not be able to watch her like he wants her to.He had an idea for the meeting but he didn't know if the investors would agree to it. Dylan thought of attending the meeting via a conference call, he already prepared a presentation. So he would just use his office and everything he prepared for the meeting.He didn't feel like it should be a problem if it wasn't there. The meeting just required a few things that needed to be discussed.He spoke to them when he went on his trip, so they had already been briefed about everything.Dylan quietly left the room to make a phone call to the office. He called his secretary first.Meanwhile, Blair stirred in her sleep the moment Dylan left the bed. She was used to her husban
The detective took Dylan to the place where they kept detainees. There were just a few people inside the cell.Jones spoke to one of the police officers to take the man out and into the investigation room.Dylan tried to look at his face but he couldn't see him properly. They followed the officer that took the unknown person to the room.When they all got to the room, Dylan could see him. He wasn't someone that Dylan recognized."This is him?" He asked the detective."Yes sir.""I don't recognize him as anyone I know," Dylan answered.Dylan was on the other side of the room. On the side that he could see everyone behind the glass, but people from the other side couldn't see.They didn't want the man to see Dylan, Incase something happened and the people they were after found out that he was involved. Their plan would be ruined and their lives would probably be in danger.Including the Lancasters."I guess I should leave now. I just wanted to know who he was." Dylan told the detective.
The whole atmosphere in the room ticked him off. It wasn't as if he was angry or upset with Blair, he was just confused because he didn't know why she was like that.He even asked her several times and she kept telling him that she was okay.Dylan had no choice but to believe her, he didn't want to stretch the issue so he decided to go back to his office.He buried himself in his work throughout the night.The next morning, Dylan left for the office earlier than usual. And he didn't bother to wake Blair. He just left the house quietly.He planned to see the detective later because he told Dylan that he found the culprit. The person who changed the way the pictures looked.Dylan got to his office quite early, only a few employees were there. He didn't care because it was still early.The weather was quite cool, maybe because it was still early in the day. The sky was light and dark blue and the breeze was cold and strong.The office was well lit as well, it was as if the building wasn'
