RAYMOND’S POVI don’t like this at all. Seeing Blair bleeding this way makes me want to lose my mind. How is this happening? I can’t lose this baby. I’ve been waiting for something like this for years. And now that my dream is coming to reality, it wants to shatter?No, something must be done. Blair has to save this baby using a mother's love. And for the doctor, she’ll lose her job today. Blair is battling between life and death right now. I want her alive, not for my baby alone, but for me. I don’t want her to die now, I still have a lot of things I want to say to her. I haven’t sought forgiveness over the things I’ve done to her. Blair has to forgive me for everything I did. “Please Blair, you have to make it alive.” I pray in my mind, pacing around the room as the doctor attends to her. “Mr. Reece?” The doctor called, holding the vial of the injection. “This…”What? Is this what I am thinking?I grabbed the vial from his hand, examining it. “This isn’t for pain
“Move it!I raise my hands, stopping the cops from physical abuse. I don’t care what they want to do with these criminals when I am gone, I only want to hear the truth from them right now. “Mr. Reece.” The chief comes out of his office, glancing at the fake doctor and her entourage. “I am so sorry this happened. I promise you…”“Just get to the point, I have no time to waste here.” I interrupted him as I can’t spend another hour here. Blair still needs me in the hospital. Going there to see how my baby is doing is what’s in my mind now. The Chief, knowing what I mean turns to one of the cops and he nods his head. Next second, the cops enter the chief’s office.“Rest assured, Mr. Reece, they’ll confess.”He has this smile on his face that shows he’s confident about what he just said. I’ve known him for so long now, and I’m always impressed by his work. If he said he’ll get a job done, then he’ll definitely do that without any mistakes. A few minutes later as the chief is ex
BLAIR’S POVHeir?What’s happening?Who is becoming an heir?My lashes parted slowly, followed by a sharp pain in my head. Grandpa George is sitting right in front of me but he is looking at the door. I can see six people leaving the room, however, my vision is so blurry that I can’t see them well nor tell who they are. “Grandpa, forget them, they are only jealous.” I follow the voice and see Raymond standing behind Grandpa George. Raymond is here too, and I am so relieved. But what really happened?Why do I feel so much pain now?“Ouch!”I can’t even lift a limb. “Blair, are you alright?” Raymond comes to my side, holding my hand. “Blair, can you see me?” Grandpa George waves his fingers, but I can’t even see them clearly. “Go get the doctor.”I try closing back my eyes, but the sharp pain can’t let me. With my eyes half open and half closed, I watch Raymond hurry out of the room to go get the doctor as Grandpa George ordered. These people are so caring. How I wish it wi
I cover my tummy with the blanket even though it isn’t protruding yet. How did he know I am here?“And here you are.” The deem look on his face shows he is not happy. Why do I even care that he’ll look happy?What do I expectThat he will run and hug me, telling me he misses me and he loves me?That was then, but not anymore.Ever since Cassie came into our lives, things haven’t been the same again. “Is this the kind of life you want to live?” What does he mean by that? I am so confused right now. If he is talking about the life I am going through because of him or Cassie, no, it isn’t the type I want. Unless he’s talking about something else. “Bullying your own sister isn’t enough, you went ahead to marry her man and got pregnant for him, you wicked child!”What!With my eyes widened in shock, I look at the door and all I wish right now is for Raymond not to return and hear what this man is saying. Who told him all this?Cassie? I am not surprised. I know she’s the one tha
After Raymond left again, I grabbed my phone from the bed stand and clicked Cassie’s name in my contact. I can’t call her, she might be with Raymond at this moment. I’ll send her a message and see if she’ll come over or text back. ‘Hey girl, guess who’s going to continue being Raymond’s wife for 2 years?’I snap the papers he brought earlier which I’ve already signed, attach them to the text, and send it to her. Cassie will freak out and who knows, she might pass out. How I wish I could see how the message would scare the witch. Ha ha ha. Anyway, I care less.Now let’s move on to the next step. If she’s coming here to vent her anger on me, then she should be embarrassed outside. Raymond already gave me the security guy's number before he left, so all I have to do is call, and any of them will enter the room.“Come in." Before I end the call, one of them enters with the phone placed on his ear. “Ma'am, you called." “My husband gave you a list of people to come into this room
CASSIE'S POVIsn't that Raymond I am seeing? Didn't he say he was with Blair?My jaws dropped as I watched Raymond entering the waiting area. So he wasn't even in the hospital and instead of telling me the truth, he lied because he didn't want to see me. What a move.It's obvious Raymond is avoiding me now because he is expecting a baby. Okay, it's time for my innocent look. As he approached, I quickly changed my expression and hurried to him. “Ray?"Raymond didn't see me coming, so he is shocked and looks disappointed. “Ray, why did you lie to me?" “I…Uhm…"“Come on, Ray."I wrapped my arms around his, resting my head on his shoulder. I don't care if there are many people present in the emergency waiting area right now. All I need is Ray, and he must not humiliate me here. “We can't talk here, let's go."The people staring would be wondering what is wrong with this couple to be cuddling in a public place.Well, that's their Business, I don't even give a damn. Raymond led m
RAYMOND'S POVDid I just break up with Cassie? No, I don't think so. Cassie is being so dramatic.Can't she at least understand that I need this baby badly?And if I don't take care of Blair, who would?She wants me to abandon Blair even though she's found out she's carrying my child. I can't do what she wants, not now. If Blair gave birth to the baby, I could then go back to Cassie. But for now, I need to concentrate on one thing which is Blair. Cassie is leaving. Is she even serious about it?She isn't even turning back to look at me. When did she start doing this?I understand she's jealous and needs more of my time like before, but she needs to be patient now. “Mr. Reece?" The security man opened the door for me, and I went in. It seems like there's something he wanted to say, but I am not in the mood right now. Blair is sitting on the bed, her back leaning on the headboard.“You're back." She is beaming with a smile, it's so confusing. But what is there to be confuse
Arriving at our maternal grandfather's mansion, I had to change my expression from desperation to a sad one.I am so soaked in the rain right now, and I feel so cold. But all this is to win my grandfather's heart. He'll see that among the only two grandchildren he has, I am the only one that cares for him. And that means he'll choose me to run the company after his death. Thank Goodness he doesn't have a favorite grandchild among us. And even if he has, then it will be me. “Miss Cassie?"One of the maids ran over with an umbrella, but I pushed her out of my way. “I don't need it. Where is Grandpa?"She looks so surprised, but I don't care. My main aim here is to see Grandpa, not be attended to by any maid. “And don't you ever touch me with your ugly fingers. Look at them!"I hissed at her and then entered the mansion. Grandpa is sitting in his wheelchair in the sitting room, taking his medication. Wait a minute… Didn't the caller say the man was dying?I expect to see him
Oh great!This meeting won't end well, either.Look at their faces, none of them are even happy to see me. And look, they are all above thirty." And who is this?” One of them asked as soon as we entered the hall. I glanced at the P.A., Panicking more than Alicia."She is the new president…"“Come again?" They all burst into laughter at the same time. I feel so embarrassed right now, and I wish the ground could swallow me. What sort of a thing is this?“She's too young?"This nonsense again!I hate it when they say I am too young. How could they?I may be young, but I can do what some of them can't even do. “Also, she made us all come here yesterday without showing up. Who does that? I hate working with amateurs."I've had enough of this, it's time to step up and show them I am the president and not them. Maybe a little threat could work. “Am I too young? Funny."They all went silent. The hall became so quiet as if no one was present there. Seeing how they were all staring
Today, Ray left the house so early, saying he had an important meeting to attend to in the company. He wasn't so happy that he was going to leave the house today; he wanted to stay with me the whole day, just like yesterday. If only he knew what was in my mind, maybe he would have canceled the meeting. My prayers have been answered, I can now leave the house to my own company in peace. I just wish Raymond could understand for once, and allow me to go to the company just as he goes to his without any worries. But no, his reason is still the same. “Ma'am? He has arrived."That's my P. A., I told him to come pick me up because I won't leave the house with any of the cars. Maybe Raymond would decide to come home when I'm gone, and if he finds any of the cars missing, he'll know I left the house. But if none of the cars are missing, then he would think I am in Grandpa George's apartment, or just taking a stroll around the house. “Where is he? Hope he didn't drive inside the house?
Raymond was pacing in front of the apartment when I stepped inside the gate. I quietly tiptoed and hid behind some flowers since he wasn't looking at the gate. What on earth is he doing here now?Has Alicia burst the bubble and he's pacing around, waiting for me to return?Oh, come on!That wasn't what I told Alicia to do.She might have made a mistake because of her nervousness, and then Raymond found out it wasn't me who was lying on the bed. How could she do this to me?Now, I won't be the one in trouble, Jeff is. Raymond will haunt Jeff down and throw him in jail. What can I do to stop him?Absolutely nothing. He won't even listen to me because he had warned me before.Still trying to figure out what to do, a maid from Grandpa George's apartment came to Raymond and they hurried away together. I watched him enter Grandpa's apartment and sighed in relief. Now I can go inside the apartment without him seeing me. As fast as I could, I went inside the apartment, hurried up the
Kill who?Isn't that Cassie's voice I am hearing?What is she doing in Jeff's place?Was she the one that made Jeff call me to come see him so they'll do whatever they want to do with me?No, Jeff can't do that, can he?Should I even be surprised if Jeff is a bad person too?My own sister wants me dead, so I won't be surprised if Jeff wants that, too. I wanted to turn away and run from there, but I heard Jeff's voice.“I can't do that, Blair hasn't done anything to me." Great, Jeff isn't like her. “She is a good person, Cassie. Do not let the hatred you have for Blair to blind you. You will regret this later if you don't stop doing this stuff."“Who cares?" She let out a loud laugh. “You know what? I think you should leave now!"“Are you sending me out of your house?" “Yes, Cassie, you aren't welcome here; you are evil." When I heard footsteps approaching the door, I hid behind the flowers, waiting for Cassie to leave. “If you don't do as I told you, you are going to lose Blai
BLAIR'S POVOh, Jeff, come on, there's no way I can leave this house right now without Raymond seeing me. What should I do?I can't make Jeff feel like I betrayed him. He saved my life, and the least I could do was go see him to make him happy. Raymond is controlling my life, and I don't like it.When he hasn't found out I was pregnant, I leave the house whenever I want and he doesn't stop me. “Alicia?"I went to Alicia's room to plan with her because she's the only one I trust, and the only maid closer to me in the apartment. “Ma'am?"She stood up from her bed, adjusting her gown. “I need your help, Alicia. Jeff wants to see me."“Jeff? The guy Mr. Raymond warned you never to go see?" Her eyes widened in shock. “Ma'am please don't go. Mr. Raymond won't be happy with you. You know how much he cares about your security."Ahh, I know. But he can't keep controlling my life because I am carrying his baby. “I didn't come here for you to remind me of that, so do not talk me out of
RAYMOND'S POVBlair is lying to me right now which is weird.She has never lied to me before, why now?Something is really fishy. Where did she go without telling me?There's no way someone could spend more than four hours in the shopping mall, let alone the hospital. Even if she went to those places yesterday, she wouldn't have spent more than four hours in both. She must have gone somewhere and she doesn't want to tell me. What is Blair planning?I'm stopping her from leaving the house alone because of her own good.Someone is after her life even though I haven't been able to find out who it is. She can't be careless while carrying my baby. She needs to be careful wherever she wants to go. “Why didn't you care to tell me? You know how much I want to see you and the baby healthy." Blair sighed, lowering her head. “I know. I just didn't want to pressure you."Pressure me?If it was really the hospital, she would have told me right before going. To burst the bubble, the docto
BLAIR'S POVHow dare Cassie kiss Raymond in front of me.Coming to the house to confirm I am still alive isn't enough?She went ahead to do what would trigger my heart.I don't like this at all, and I am so angry that Raymond didn't do anything about it. Instead of stopping her from doing whatever she wanted to do, he stood there, rooted in a spot like a tree. He wanted that, I know.If not, he wouldn't have allowed her to do it. I think it's time to tell him who the kidnapper was. That way, he would stay away from Cassie. I don't want her to be arrested and put behind bars, I just want him to be far away from her.It hurts my feelings whenever Cassie is all intimate with him.“Ma'am?"“Not now, I'm not in a good mood." Alicia bowed her head and left the room. I won't go to that company today, I have to confront Raymond first.He has to know the kind of a person my sister is. Why do I even keep calling her my sister? A part of me hates her. “Blair, that wasn't proper."Not p
CASSIE'S POV“What do you mean she isn't dead?" "I saw her at the shopping mall yesterday, ma'am. The one downtown.”Downtown?That's where Raymond's house is. And it was Blair he saw?I am so confused right now. As far as I know, Blair died in my place before she was dumped at the amusement park. How is that even possible?No, this can't be happening. If truly Blair is alive, then I am done for. She'll tell Raymond I was the kidnapper, and he'll make sure I am arrested. What to do now?"Should I go after her, Miss Cassie?”Go after her?" Are you nuts? You want to go after her and do what? If you are arrested, count me out of bailing you because I'll pretend I don't even know you.” What nonsense!It was his fault; he was the one who told me she was no longer breathing. And now he's telling me he saw her alive. Cassie, you are done for.I'll confirm first and see if she's alive. But who to confirm with?Should I go to Reece's mansion?What if she has already told him?No, I
" I have no idea, Alicia. But I'll think of something. They scared me, I don't think I can face the shareholders tomorrow.” I sighed deeply, resting my head on the desk." But you'll have to do it, ma'am. Show them you are the boss and not them. You see how the P. A., was talking to them; that's what you should do, too.”Yes, that's correct. But I don't know how to do that.And it will take me days to master it. Those people are older than me, and some of them can give birth to me too.They think because I am younger than them, I can not rule them. One even said I wasn't the one who came to the company with Grandpa before he died. Could it be Cassie?Maybe they thought she would be the one to become the president since she's older than me.Age aside, I have more flesh than Cassie, and I am a little bit taller than her too. Shouldn't they at least consider the structure?SighsThis is going to give me a headache. After we were done having lunch, I decided to go home. Staying in
