Blair gasped. It was indeed beautiful, the lake was in front of them and the inside was beautifully decorated.It had old intricate designs and lights and paintings. It seemed like the owner liked antiques and was an old school person but it was beautiful all the same.Dylan moved a chair for her to sit down and then he sat across from her."My godmother owns this restaurant. It's been in her family for ages and now she runs it. My dad almost made her sell it to him though but I advised her not to sell" he explained."Wow Dylan. It's really beautiful here. Your godmother must love antiques because this place is filled with them" Blair complimented."She does actually, some of the antiques have been here for a while. And then she added a few more. This place is really popular and more beautiful at night. Maybe we can have dinner here sometime but then you wouldn't be able to meet her" he explained."What do you mean meet her?" Blair asked."My godmother," he smiled.Dylan wanted Blair
Blair kept admiring the place and saying nice things about it."Should we order now or should I take you to meet her first?" He asked her."I want to meet her first," she said and smiled."Alright then" he replied.He got up from the chair and went over to help her up.Dylan led her to the back of the restaurant where his godmother's office was located.He knocked on her door and waited for her response before going in."Oh my, Dylan! I didn't think you would come today" she squealed."I wanted to surprise you," he answered and hugged her.Blair stood and watched their surprising display of affections. She barely saw Dylan so chirpy and happy with someone that is not her.She started to think that maybe he didn't completely hate everyone."Come darling" the older woman called for her.She continued to admire Dylan's godmother. The older woman seemed to be in her early 60s and she was beautiful indeed. She was an emission of beauty and grace. Her charisma at her age marveled Blair too.
Blair laughed."What are you doing Dylan?" She asked him as she dug into the bag of food."Trying to get you to eat," he said."Really now? I was going to eat y'know. Besides, this was my idea" she said." Ha ha" Dylan faked a laugh.Dylan turned on the tv and put it on Netflix. After much argument they finally agreed on a movie. They both ate as they watched the movie.Halfway into the movie they already finished their food. Dylan held Blair in his arms and he kept playing with her hair."Dylan?" Blair called."Yes my love" he answered."Do you think they have a motive for what they did?" She asked."If they didn't have a motive they would have done what they did. Finding out their motive could also help us" Dylan assured."I see, I wonder what it could be," she thought.They relaxed on the couch for a while. Blair fell asleep and Dylan carried her into their bedroom. He laid her on the bed and covered her with the blanket, he kissed her head."I love you" he whispered.Blair mumble
"Thank you" he took the tray from her hands and placed it on his lap.Dylan ate his soup slowly, Blair watched him. It wasn't as if he didn't like the soup, he just didn't feel like eating anything. He lost his appetite.Blair placed her hand on his head to feel his temperature."You are still a little feverish Dylan, are you sure that you feel okay?" She asked.Dylan didn't know what to tell her. He promised never to lie to her and he didn't want to break it for any reason."No Blair. I'm not okay, I have a terrible headache, something happened in the office and I can barely eat this soup. I feel so tired Blair" he spilled."Oh my darling. I'm sorry, should I call the doctor to come check you?" She asked him."Anything you want" he laid his head on the pillow."Dylan why didn't you tell me all of these?" She asked."Because I didn't want you to worry so much about me" he whined."How is that possible?" She asked."I know you Blair. You will certainly feel bad and blame yourself" Dyla
Blair took out the laundry and put it in the basket so that she could spread it outside. The sun was scorching and she knew that the clothes would dry before evening. She quickly spread the clothes and went back inside the house. She just stood in the kitchen, and thought about what she would do. Dylan was ill, she didn't want to bother him or stress him about it. She knew he would worry.Blair had double mind; telling him and not telling him. It was hard to decide but she had to decide fast."Blair?" Dylan stood across the kitchen, he stared at her intensely.She jumped and gasped, the cup in her hands slipped and broke into pieces."Woah woah, take it easy baby. It's just me" he went over to her and held her hands tightly.He led her away from the broken glass and made sure not to step on it. He took her to the living room and sat her down on the couch. He sat beside her.Dylan knew his wife and he knew when something was wrong with her. Her mind was clearly elsewhere, she thought
After the whole talk with Dylan yesterday, she felt confident enough for the task ahead of her. She couldn't let Richard lord over her thoughts and emotions.She had to stand her ground and not be scared, at least for Dylan's sake.She watched as he ate his food. She ate hers too, quickly. Blair wanted to prepare for her meeting with Richard and she couldn't afford to go late. He specifically told her not to.Blair stepped into the bathroom, she brushed her teeth before she had her bath.She stepped out of the bathroom,her gray coloured robe wrapped her body.She opened her closet and fished out an outfit that would be suitable for her outing. She decided to wear jeans and a black wrap blouse, the blouse was short like a crop top.She picked it out and laid it on the bed.Her phone vibrated on her dressing table and picked it up to check. It was a message from Richard, must be the address.'Messadonia restaurant, table 9'It read."What's that?" Dylan asked.She suddenly froze and he
A surge of laughter escaped her lips. She could not control it. She laughed until she was almost out of breath."You are delusional. Please listen to yourself, you ruin my life and I come to you. What is your basis? You have no scruples, Richard." She pointed out.It seemed to Blair that Richard was stupid and dumb at the same time. And whatever Samantha fed him must have made him even more stupid.Love did not work that way. He lived like he knew absolutely nothing at all. It was like she spoke to a brick wall."You come to me because only I can save you, think about that." He snapped.His blood boiled to the maximum. It seemed like Richard didn't like the way Blair ridiculed him. He wanted to make her pay. "You sound even more absurd than you did a few seconds ago. Why would I ever want to go to you? You know what I'm done here." She protested.She concluded that Richard just wanted to get her annoyed. Everything he said made absolutely no sense. He was serious. Blair was his rewa
Dylan was sceptical because of Blair.He didn't want to make mistakes that would affect her. So he decided to think carefully, to take his time.He already opted to use connections but he had not decided whom.His phone rang this time and it was his father. He decided that he would pick up. His father. That was the connection, he thought."Hello, father." He greeted the older man."Dylan. You haven't been taking my calls. What's this news I hear about the company? Are you slacking off now?" The man asked with his thick voice."I'm sorry dad. I've just been busy and I am not slacking off. I'm trying to fix the problem." He explained and rubbed his head."Okay. Aside from that, what is the issue with Blair? Don't think I don't know what's going on and don't you lie to me, young man." His father warned.Dylan was caught between telling him and helping Blair on his own, the right way. He knew his father and he knew that he would not help them in the right way. And that was not how Blair 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'
