Dylan thought of the gift to give Blair but nothing came to his mind. He thought of a dress but she had lots of dresses including the ones he got for her. Shoes as well but he also thought she had a lot.He was running out of options when an idea popped into his mind. He remembered that he said he would marry her again, properly. And he thought of buying their wedding bands here. This side of the country was known for making beautiful jewelry, one of the best and he decided to check it out.He asked his driver to take him to a particular jeweler that he knew.When Dylan got there he got out of the car and went into the shop. The shop was exquisite, it was beautified with different kinds of jewelry. Everywhere and everything sparkled. From necklaces to hairpins to anklets, they simply had every kind of jewelry imaginable and unimaginable. Dylan moved towards the ring section and he saw that there were different kinds that he didn't know the kind to choose."Ah, Mr Lancaster! I see yo
They left the mall and went back to Blair's apartment.Sam parked outside while Blair got her bags from the back."Thank you, Sam," Blair said through the window."It's okay, thank you too. I hope we get the time to do this again." Sam forced a smile."Yeah, me too. I gotta go now, bye Sam." Blair waved as she backed away from the car.Sam smiled and drove out of the compound. Blair gave a long sigh and went back into her supposed apartment.She opened the door and was met with silence. She dropped her bags on the floor beside her couch and slumped on the chair.Blair checked her phone again and saw that Dylan had still not replied to her message, she sighed and threw her phone on the table.She got up to make some tea but then she saw the plates that she and Samantha used earlier so she had to wash them first.While she washed them she felt hands wrap around her. She became tense but then the arms seemed familiar.She practically twirled to see who the person was, her long hair loos
Dylan was far gone already, he wanted Blair. He didn't care if she was joking or not, he just wanted her. He kissed her neck, slowly. His hands went from her back to her hips, he squeezed them lightly."Ah ah, I guess I'm high on you then." He kissed the side of her head. His tongue trailed from her head to her ear and down to her collarbone, he sucked on it.Blair let out a soft moan, she held his arms and arched her back."Dylan." She breathed."I will say this again, Blair." He looked into her eyes, intensely."What is that?" She asked him, her eyes were hooded already."Marry me again, Blair." He asked her, holding her hands, tenderly in his.Blair stared at him for a minute and then a tear slipped from her ear."Yes, I will marry you again." She smiled tearfully.Dylan hugged her, tears dropped from his eyes too. His fingers traced the outline of her lower lip before he captured her lips in his.He kissed her slowly and sweetly until she moaned in his mouth. The sound drove him
Dylan had already called the help back to the house to assist Blair when he wasn't around to help. His break had ended the moment they got back home and although he wanted to stay home with his wife, his office called him."I brought Donna and the rest of the help back, Blair." Blair's eyes widened in surprise. She missed having them around the house."Really? Oh my goodness, Dylan. Thank you so much." Blair engulfed him in a tight hug."It's an okay baby. I just thought it wouldn't be so lonely if they were here with you. Besides, Donna wouldn't let you stress yourself trying to make breakfast and dinner all the time." He explained."I appreciate it. Where are they anyway?" She got up to check the kitchen and the backyard but she didn't find them."They probably went to the market or something. Donna complained about the fridge and the storage room being empty. She must have taken Clara and Aaliyah with her to the market as well." "Oh. Typical Donna, always wanting to fill the frid
Samantha sipped on her wine in her living room while she flipped pages of the latest magazine editorial.Her phone rang on the table in front of her. She picked it up and sighed when she saw that Richard was the one calling her."What do you want, Richard?" She asked in a bored tone."The five days ultimatum that you told me to give them is over. What is the next plan?" He asked her."I don't want to beat about the bush anymore. I'm going to reveal myself, I'm going to fight Blair face to face. She'll have no choice but to give up her husband. You can release the pictures after another five days." She answered."You are stretching this, Sam. It's so unnecessary, everything that you've been doing. Okay, I will delay the release for another five days and after then I will release it." He said."This doesn't concern you so don't you dare question me. I want to make them think that your threat was useless and then release it when they least expect it. Dylan has lots of enemies and I'm sur
It was the first dinner that they had that they enjoyed and did not have to stress to get it. While Donna was away, they had to either order or Blair would cook something for them. Blair was a good cook and she did cook for Dylan a lot but sometimes she needed a break. They both enjoyed the dinner so much. "You should go to bed now. Or is there something that you both need?" She asked them. "No, no. I'm going to bed now. I need to sleep." Blair yawned loudly. "Goodnight, Donna. Thank you once again for dinner." She greeted her. "Goodnight, ma'am. Goodnight, sir." "Why the strange formality? Anyways goodnight, Donna." Dylan chuckled. They walked, hand in hand to their bedroom. Dylan teased Blair about how wide she opened her mouth when she yawned. Donna watched them leave with a smile on her lips. She remembered how they were just a few months ago. How they didn't like the sight of each other and now they were in love. Sometimes she found it hard to believe that Dylan could love
Back in Dylan's office, things weren't as hectic. Everything ran smoothly, some of his team members were still overseas. The work he did over there paved the way for an easier job in the main office.He only signed documents, reviewed plans, drew plans, closed deals, and the like. He had time to eat lunch too, thankfully. Most times he missed his lunch because he had to work but then he had lunch this time.Dylan had left Blair in the morning but he already informed her that he would be going back to the office. He thought of her and decided to call her.He picked up his phone and dialed her number. She picked after the second ring.Once he heard her voice, his insides melted. He became calmer than he was before. They had a playful conversation before he hung up."What am I supposed to eat later?" He asked himself.He tried to remember if there was something specific that he craved.Blair had asked him if he wanted her to make something for him. And he did but he didn't know what
Blair turned off the gas cooker and looked straight into his eyes. She had already finished cooking so she had all the time in the world for a fight."Make me." She folded her arms defensively.He looked at her from head to toe and smirked.Dylan thought she looked pretty cute and sexy in the dress, he didn't notice it before.He recognized it immediately as one of the dresses he bought for her on one of his trips."Nice dress. It will be fun taking you right here on this very counter." He answered, darkly.Blair's eyes widened."You think I won't?" He walked slowly towards her.Blair stood where she was, she wasn't scared because she wanted him to do it.When he got close enough, they both stared into each other's eyes."You're not going to run?" He whispered in her ear.His voice sent shivers down her spine."Why should I?" She whispered back.There was suddenly a sexual tension in their midst. The breeze from the kitchen window did not make it easier as it gave her goosebumps.She
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'
