THE PILOT'S EX WIFE 32
"Okay" she murmured, as if she was ending the conversation."I was hoping you would inform me about the meeting with Ethan Banks at the club the other day. But it seems to be personal" Spencer pondered, with a dose of teasing in his voice."You said I should get closer, and that's what I'm doing" Blair was quick to defend herself."I know you are""I'll be waiting for your next contact" the woman murmured, and then hung up.After the call ended, she threw herself back, throwing her body against the soft mattress. Blair didn't know to what extent she was getting involved with Ethan and not helping Spencer, and that worried her.However, overcome by an anxiety she couldn't explain, Blair created an Instagram account and thought about adding a photo. She didn't have many, and the ones she did have didn't seem right.Finally, the redhead decided that she would not post photos. Soon the whole world would be looking at your profile, making assumptions and posts that would hit home.HeyThan

In that moment, those words reaffirmed how much people loved Jean Collins for the person he seemed to be. The world loved his work. People were willing to write letters to him, to praise whatever he did. And, for Blair, it was a waste of time. Those people didn't really know him, they didn't know about his sins and the victims he made in the past."Different?" Drake leaned forward."They are threats. They follow a pattern, but they didn't take us anywhere. They have the same return address, the same handwriting and so on" Jean's personal security guard replied, realizing that his boss would not be able to deliver such information to his daughter."Holy shit" Drake sank his fingers into his brown hair, somewhat golden from the sun.For him, the greatest probability was that someone was trying to reach Jean through Blair."We cannot make false statements, but we have suspicions. Blair was a complete unknown, and now she appears as the daughter of a star. It is a shock in the film indust

"And while we're on that topic. Michele kills and dies for that man. He's like a god to her" and to anyone else, too. Ethan was like an eclipse. It could not be ignored, no matter how dark it seemed."I can imagine why""He's handsome, hot, filthy rich and must have great sex. But it's not worth it, believe me""How do you know?" the woman tried not to look surprised, or even jealous, but failed. His expression of disgust was the first thing to be expressed."I read the news. He goes out with the most sought-after blondes in the country and then pretends to be friends, as if everyone doesn't know that he runs away from relationships."**The next day, Blair felt energized. I wouldn't need to work, as the final preparations for Fashion Week were up to the designers alone. He had arranged a lunch with Daliah and Drake, so he could introduce each other. For her, it was important that her friend knew the people who came into her life."Are you sure you don't want to open a wine?" Drake as

Feeling weak in her legs after receiving Ethan's response, feeling privileged by the attention of a man with his grandeur, Blair went down to the basement of her building. In the first garage, the various cars were lined up in an orderly manner.Due to the building's social standard, all vehicles carried a certain amount of elegance. It was expected for the place, as no one would think less of Vegas. However, among the sports cars and SUVs, one car caught his attention. It was parked a few meters from the elevators, straight to the floor's support pillar.The dark Lamborghini had the power to minimize everything around it, becoming the focus without much effort. The dark windows, the matte black paint and the wheels accompanying the entire black structure were the perfect closure to declare power.The woman walked slowly, looking at the car as Ethan opened its door. She was wearing ordinary clothes, light jeans and a thin-strap t-shirt. Despite her poorly produced clothing, Blair Coll

"I don't know if things can work this way. But, like I said, I have a commitment" the velvety and calm voice carried high levels of nervousness, even more so under the tourmaline blue of Ethan's eyes."And, like I said, you can cancel. Just one ride, Angel, and then you go back to the pedestal" the man walked to the opposite side of the car, to the passenger door. He opened it, waiting until Blair was willing to walk over.His thoughts were still on the femme fatale from a few nights before. The woman who came to him and dethroned him from her control. That night, at the club, Ethan realized that having Blair would go beyond desire. She was in charge, whether he liked it or not."I'm not on a pedestal..." she walked slowly towards the man. The subtle movement of her hips caused a sway that few women were capable of. And on top of that, her t-shirt revealed a significant amount of skin on her stomach."I'm just waiting for you to realize that you're not going to have me" Blair added.T

Lana stopped in front of the panoramic glass. Outside, one floor below, was the running track. There were no cars on the asphalt, everyone was in their appropriate garages. The race track rented sports cars so that visitors could take unforgettable rides in million-dollar vehicles. In the pit-stop identical to those on official tracks, two men were talking."Will is at the pit stop" Lana informed, pointing beyond the clear glass.Ethan agreed, then led the redhead beside him to the stairs leading to the track.The dark and worn asphalt symbolized a real runway. The route was long and inviting, making people long to feel the steering wheel in their hands. The stands weren't as big as expected, but they didn't need to be. No one would go to that speedy paradise just to watch.Ethan kept his hand on the small of Blair's spine. Sometimes, as she walked, her red strands brushed against the man's hand. He didn't want to lose contact with her skin, as he found it very soft. His mind wandered

"I'm going to get the special toy from the garage. In the meantime, you can sit in the stands or at the pit stop" Will looked at Blair, then at Victor. His soft voice was always commanding, but in such a light and polite way that it sounded like a request.While the man walked to the garage pavilion, Blair and Victor headed to the pit stop. There were four seats in a row, and they decided to sit side by side."Have you seen him drive before?" Victor asked.Blair thought meticulously about her words. She couldn't let any relevant information slip. In her mind, she thought about how little time she had spent with Ethan. Little time, few advances, many interests..."No. We've known each other for a short time"Minutes later, the gate of one of the garages opened onto the sunny Vegas day. The days were always warm and clear, with an open sky and rare clouds. The car slid onto the track like an automobile god. It was one of McLaren's most recent models, a true work of art.Will parked the

"What, then?""I don't have a flag here, on the track. But I thought you could come up with something. Be creative. You just need to be waving something when he turns the last lap""Enough talking, Thomas" Ethan's hoarse voice was a surprise to Blair's system. Her girlish smile was soon replaced by parted lips and rosy cheeks."Understood, boss" despite being joking, Will focused all his focus on the last lap that Ethan was entering."Anythings?" Blair needed to make sure that anything would actually be enough to end an Ethan Banks run.As he waited for his response, the car passed along the road beside him as if it were flying low."Anything" he assured him.Blair walked to the finish line, just a few meters from the pit stop. She knew that the eyes were focused on her as she walked. The men were expectant as to what she would hold up to declare the race over. The woman reached the checkered line that crossed the road and thought for a second, needing all her courage to move forward.
