CASSIE'S POV“Miss Cassie, she's not breathing." I turned to the sofa where Blair was lying, and an evil smile formed on my face. She's not breathing? Then that's final. This is exactly what I want, to make sure she's dead. And now that I've tortured her to death, then I can't keep her here anymore. Who knows Raymond would dare call me to enquire about Blair?Did he see me at the funeral home?No, I don't think so. The way I disguised myself, Raymond wouldn't have even found out it was me. Or does he already know that I am after Blair's life?Even when those ladies confessed I was the one who sent them to the hospital, Raymond didn't believe them.I'm sure he still doesn't believe I'll do anything to hurt Blair; he's asking because she is my sister.Well, not anymore. Blair is gone, and Raymond is now for Cassie alone.“What should we do with her body?" I hesitated for a while, thinking of what to do about it.I can't let them dump her in a secluded place, it has to be where
BLAIR'S POV “Dump her at the Amusement park."Those words still ring in my ears as if they were just said now.Cassie thought I was dead after torturing my life. She didn't even care that the baby I was carrying could get hurt.Who am I even kidding?That is what she wants. This is so painful,My own sister wants me dead?Just for worldly things?Can't Cassie just see that everything that's happening isn't my fault?“Stop crying, Blair, you should consider your condition." Jeff handed me a glass of water and then sat next to me.I am so grateful for him, for saving my life and bringing me to his home to take care of me.If Jeff hadn't shown up at the park, some people might have taken me away again. I knew everything that was happening, from the instructions Cassie gave to the guys, her phone calls, and when they dumped me at the park. I pretended I was dead just so she wouldn't kill me entirely.“This is so harsh, Jeff. Cassie could have killed me." Jeff sighed deeply, holding
RAYMOND'S POVThroughout the entire night, I couldn't sleep properly. The thought of Blair being with another man who isn't me still disturbed my peace. I've come to like her, to love her, but she's trying to slip away from me just when I've started developing feelings for her. How could she go to that length, to leave the funeral just to go see Jeff?What is wrong with her?Didn't she claim she loved me?Why the sudden change of mind?Did she confess to me because Cassie was there? Maybe she just wanted me to send Cassie away from my life, then she'll make me fall for her, and then betray me.Blair surprised me yesterday, I will never forget that. Although I'm upset with her, I can't be angry with my baby, right?I'm sure she didn't eat anything yesterday because I locked the door and took the keys away. Since she's bent on seeing Jeff, then I can't let her leave the house anymore. The company can be run by another person, maybe Cassie. “Mr. Raymond." I took the keys from th
BLAIR'S POV“I'm sorry, Ms. Blair, I didn't know something like that would happen, I wouldn't have left you there all alone."This is the third time the maid has said that since she brought me breakfast. It's not her fault, what is bound to happen will happen no matter what. Even if she stayed behind, they would have injured her or, worse, killed her there. I am glad she wasn't present in the room at that time, and I'm grateful that she handled my grandfather's funeral on my behalf. Not everyone can do that, but she took the risk to help me. “It's okay. And thank you for helping me." She passed me my vitamins. “I also heard Raymond locked you and the P. A. up in the prison, right?" She nodded her head. “I'm sorry about that too, it was all because of me." I felt so bad when I was told about it. Raymond acted out of shock, but he shouldn't have done that. He could have investigated them one-on-one instead of doing that. And they wouldn't even do something as terrible as tha
Still sitting in the bed with my back on the headboard, Raymond returned to the room. I frowned my face so he wouldn't even have the opportunity to start another fight. “Blair, I've gotten the result of the face mask I took to the lab to be examined." I ignored him. “The result showed that some substance was spread there, which made you lose consciousness.”Now he believed?What nonsense. I don't even care anymore, he can decide to do whatever he wants or say what comes to his mind. "I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you. I should have known that…”Who cares?Pffff!“Let’s have your bruises checked by the doctor, okay? He's downstairs waiting for you.”" I ain't leaving this room, I don't even want to see a doctor.”I managed to get up from the bed and head to the bathroom. But before I could enter, Raymond grabbed my wrist. "Come on, Blair.” He sounded so hopeless. Raymond wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight. " I'm sorry, okay?”" Go apologize to Jeff first.” " Jeff?
~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? Will he be angry?Will he accept it?But, what if he actually likes this baby? What if he'll be willing to accept it? Standing up, I touched my tummy, a mix of anxiousness and fear compounding my chest. Well, Raymond should know about it.Maybe… Just maybe, he'll accept our baby. And
I gasped. His words are like bombshells and I actually pinched myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.D- Divorce? “B- But…” I stammered, suddenly losing the ability to speak. I don't understand his words.Maybe I do, but I can't bring myself to digest them.“I know, our contract is supposed to end in three months,” Raymond continued, his tone dry. It's as if he couldn't wait to tell me this. As if he has come right here after waking up to lift this load off his shoulder.Did I do something wrong? Did I fail in pleasing him? Why does he want a divorce all of a sudden?As I grappled with confusion, Raymond reached out and patted my hair. It's as if he can read my mind. “You've done a good job. In fact, I'll double your pay. Get ready. We'll meet Grandpa later. Remember our initial plan.”Our plan is to divorce after the contract ends. I'll tell his grandfather that I can no longer be with him, and Raymond will happily release me.No- I can't. I grabbed his hands, almost instinc
Is this one of Cassie's pranks? She's definitely pulling my legs. She'll never-“What better way to make you fall into my trap easily?” Cassie shrugged. “You needed the money and the contract came in handy.”“No! You didn't!” Anger surged through my veins.I shot forward and grabbed her. “Cassie, why!?”I can't help the tears that burst out, thinking back to those days full of horror and fear. I'd literally begged her for money. I knelt in front of her family's home all night, but neither Cassie nor her father were willing to offer a penny for help. Imagine my happiness when Raymond stepped in instead and offered the contract. I've always regarded him as my father's savior. Was he part of this plan? I lost control of my emotions and shook her. “You're a crazy maniac! I can't believe Mum is your real mother.”Our mother was so kind and compassionate.No way she would have given birth to this monster!What if my Dad had died that day? All because of her stupid revenge plan, she'd

CASSIE'S POV“Miss Cassie, she's not breathing." I turned to the sofa where Blair was lying, and an evil smile formed on my face. She's not breathing? Then that's final. This is exactly what I want, to make sure she's dead. And now that I've tortured her to death, then I can't keep her here anymore.

RAYMOND'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
