Tricked. Rejected, and Betrayed. Thinking she has had enough share of this world’s cruelties, Blair's only desire is to end up with the man she has loved her entire life. To her, their marriage is much more than just a contract. When she finds out she's pregnant, her hope increases that he'll reciprocate her love. However, even the contract marriage is just another trick designed by her sister, and Raymond played his part perfectly. Unable to bear his rejection, her only option is to run. But will she let her sister's betrayal destroy her? Will she let the heartbreak stop her from seeking revenge?
View MoreRAYMOND'S POVI've been watching the lady standing at the altar, giving a speech for over ten minutes now, but she doesn't look anything close to Blair.The way she walks, the way she speaks, and the way her hair is arranged isn't like Blair's. She's wearing Blair's dress, and her face is covered with the nose mask I sent over to Blair, but she doesn't look like her. Where is Blair? What has happened to her?I can't sit here for long while someone is pretending to be her. But if I stand up now, people will turn their eyes on me, they'll say I don't respect the deceased. I waited for a few minutes, and when the lady finally left the altar, I stood up from my chair, grabbed her hand in front of everyone, and left the hall with her. I don't care what they say; I know what I am doing.If it was Blair, she would have started arguing with me the moment I grabbed her hand inside. She'll say I am embarrassing her, but this lady isn't saying a word which is obvious she's not Blair. I r
Opening my eyes slowly, my head aches so much that I couldn't even blink properly. And as soon as my vision became clear, Cassie came into view.I knew it was her by her voice. So she hasn't left the city? And no one could locate her?What on earth is Cassie trying to do now?“See who is finally awake."She let out an evil laugh, lowered herself in front of me, and splashed a cup of water on my face. “Cassie!" I screamed her name. “Oh, so you still have this much energy? I thought you'd lost them completely. I know what to do." She stood on her feet, gestured to one of the guys in the room and she was handed a mini box. Cassie opened it, dipped two of her fingers in it, fetched a white substance, and then blew them on my face. Immediately, the powder hit my nostrils; I started feeling the same thing I felt when I put on the face mask. It wasn't Raymond who did it, it was Cassie. She gave that to my maid, and the lady gave it to me. She didn't run away after what she had don
What on earth was this face mask made of?The scent it's releasing is so funny, I've never sniffed it before. “Here's the water, ma'am." My vision starts to blur, but I think it's because I haven't taken my vitamins. After taking the medication, I decided to rest in the waiting room before the funeral procession began. But the more relaxed my body is, the more dizzy I become. “Are you okay, Ma'am?" My maid sounds so worried, but I can't let her know what I'm feeling.Raymond will take me away and I can't miss my grandpa's funeral.I am the only family left, Cassie isn't here. “I'm fine." I forced a smile, closing my eyes. Oh Lord, do not let anything happen to me, please; I have to be here till the end.I thought after resting for a while, everything would be back to normal. But I can't feel my legs now and it's time for the funeral. “Ma'am, I have to go get Mr. Raymond, you can't leave like this. You are going to pass out anytime." My maid held my hand, wiping the sweat o
It has been a week since Grandpa passed away, and while we are preparing for his funeral, Cassie is nowhere to be found. I've sent security across the city to find her, but none of them could bring any information about her. Cassie ran away with all the money in the house. However, that isn't the problem. No one's after the money she ran away with, I just want her to be present so we'll bury our grandpa together. Maybe if I were in her shoes, I would have done the same thing she did. Grandpa didn't leave anything in her name, which isn't good at all. But who am I to argue with the deceased? He knew what was best to do. Cassie is my sister, and since everything is now in my name, I want to run the company with her.However, a part of me doesn't want to do that. Cassie might turn against me and worse, she might use the opportunity to get rid of me. “Ms. Blair? Mr. Raymond Reece is here." Grandpa's P. A., who is now my personal Assistant, announced. Raymond came?I thought he
RAYMOND'S POV“How can you all shamelessly tell me some guys came and took her away? What is your job? Isn't it to keep an eye on her?"This is so stupid.How could the people I entrusted Blair in their hands let her leave the house with strangers?“If She isn't found today, consider yourselves jobless. Not only that, you will all rot in jail!"I return to the apartment after threatening them. How could they be so daft to have let her leave this house when they know the threats she has been getting right from the hospital?Who does that?An hour later, I still haven't gotten any feedback from the security or the servants. What am I even doing here?Blair is carrying my baby, and it is my responsibility to go look for her, too. Nothing must happen to her that will affect my baby. I left the apartment, fuming in anger. But as soon as I was about to enter the car, two cars drove inside the house. The way the car was described to me, I instantly knew these were the cars that took Bl
CASSIE'S POVBlair dares lay her hand on me? In front of these people?I swear, I won't let her go scot-free. She must account for what she did. And that position she was given, I'll make sure she doesn't enjoy it. It won't last; it will disturb her life, and she'll end up giving up on it.“Miss Cassie?" I turned in the direction where my name was called.“What?" It is the same lawyer who promised me he was going to do whatever he could to make sure my name appears as the heiress.What nonsense does he want to say?“I tried my best, but your late grandpa…”" Shut up!”I threw a cushion at him angrily. " You are a liar, you fool. I shouldn't have left it all in your hands, I would have done it by myself!”" But I did what I could, the rest was your fault.”My fault?How was it my fault?" When your late Grandpa sent someone to call you when he was battling with death, you refused to go, that was why he sent someone to bring Blair.”" Excuse me?”" Yes, I was there. Everything in
A few minutes after I passed out, my eyelids opened.Cassie is standing very close to where I lie in the bed, holding a pillow. My heart plummeted as soon as I saw what she was holding. Cassie wants to press it on me, but she is hesitating. What is stopping her?She could have done that even before I opened my eyes as we were the only ones in the room. “You bastard!" She threw the pillow on my face. Quickly, I rose to my feet, stepping away from her. “How dare you do this to me, Blair! What is wrong with you!" Cassie threw herself on the carpet, crying heartily. What did I do wrong again?I didn't kill Grandpa like Cassie shouted at the door as soon as the man passed away. How could I even kill him when there were a lot of people present in the room? Will even says I poisoned him because I don't live in this house either.Cassie is just finding ways to tarnish my image. And why is she crying this way?Cassie 't cry in this room for someone unless she loses something she is
BLAIR'S POVStepping out of the car, the fresh air from the scented roses in the house found its way into my nostrils. I love this house so much because it always reminds me of my Mum.Even though she never brought us here when she was still alive, I always feel her presence whenever I am here. If only Mum was alive, I could have done whatever I could to see that she had been pregnant, but death had already taken her away, leaving us to find a place in our grandpa's heart. The first time Cassie and I found out our mum's dad was a rich guy in the city, Cassie cut me off and warned me never to find her. She got to stay in this house for two years while I stayed with my dad trying to make ends meet. The only time I saw Cassie was in school then, but she wanted nothing to do with me. The past aside, I need to focus on the future now. Where is Grandpa?I hope he is still alive and waiting for me.What will become of this house when Grandpa passes away?Oh God, please keep him alive

I've been tolerating all his bad behaviors just to win his heart and I think I am getting a hang of it.He doesn't do certain things now without calling Cassie to help him. And he doesn't make some decisions without informing me first. I think I will be the person he chose, no doubt.

~BLAIR~Is this a blessing or a curse? My fingers trembled with the pregnancy test strip as I stared at the two red lines through my vision blurred with tears. What have I done?How could I let this happen? My marriage with Raymond is only based on a contract. How is he gonna react to this? I wiped my tears, holding in a deep breath to control my heartbeat. My memory flashed to that night a few weeks ago, of Raymond suddenly barging into my room, drunk and haggard.I doubt if he even remembers. He never spoke about it.I don't even know how he feels about it!Running all fingers through my hair, I sniffed back my tears as all negative emotions flooded my mind.What will Raymond's reaction be like?
