BLAIR’S POV “Blair,” “Blair,” I heard a calm voice calling. My blur vision was slowly clearing out and it took a few minutes for it to clear out and I finally noticed Steven above me. “Where am I?”“What is happening?” I queried with a weak voice. “We have to leave, now,” Steven said. I was still feeling pain in my head and some part of my body that got hit on the car wheel at the time of the accident. “I can’t explain right now,” Steven said. As long as we were in Vegas, with a woman like Jane roaming its streets, I knew there was always going to be a reason for unrest. Steven snuck me out of the hospital and when we arrived at the car, Sebastine was manning the wheel. Sebastine zoomed off, as soon as Steven and I arrived and I couldn’t help noticing that we now had a different car. Steven put me in front and sat behind with Briana, who was still unconscious. “What happened?” “Why is Brian not awake?”Both Steven and Sebastine did not readily offer any response and it m
BLAIR’S POV I waited two more days to get stronger and also plan for my journey, all behind their backs. On the day Brian found out about the baby, he gave me a card to cover for any expense I may have that concerned me and the baby. I had decided to return and face my fight. A lot of people had suffered already and were still suffering from the war that I ignited. ‘Enough was enough,’On the third morning, as planned, very early, before the first ray of sunlight hit the surface, I snuck out of the hospital and hurried to the airport in a disguise. Throughout the flight, I was quiet and didn’t respond to anyone’s pleasantry. My mind was fixed on the war ahead of me. It was a twelve-hour long flight to Vegas, but worth every single minute of it. I arrived at the mansion and immediately started yelling for Jane. There were no domestic staff and the house was very empty, from the gate to the rooms. “Blair?” I heard a faint call from behind the house. I followed the voice and
BLAIR’S POV I wasn’t accepting Jane’s verdict, so I took my father to Dr. Bruce. He was rushed to the emergency unit, immediately we arrived. Ashley and I kept pacing the hallway, waiting for Dr. Bruce’s report. I was freaking out and shaking. There was no possible way to keep calm, especially since the doctors were now taken a lot longer than I hoped or anticipated. After a few more hours, Dr. Bruce finally showed up.“Where’s Mrs. Williams?” he questioned. It was not until he asked that I realized that she had left us in the hallway and was sitting in her car. “How is my father,” I queried. “Well, Miss Williams,” he took a deep breath. “I did tell you that Mr. Williams was diagnosed with a renal disease, which could have been tackled appropriately if he didn’t stop coming to the hospital,” Dr. Bruce announced. “What are you saying?” I probed,“What is the implication?” Dr. Bruce appeared to be struggling with words. “I’m afraid Mr. Williams now requires a transplant,” he
BLAIR’S POV Dr. Bruce and I agreed to keep the procedure away from both Jane and Ashley. I was also footing the bills, since all Jane majorly did was complain about how the company was in a terrible state. After asking a hundred times if I was really ready to do this, Dr. Bruce had to give in to my request, and we scheduled the first phase of the procedure for the next day. All through the night, I couldn’t sleep. I was stressed about my choice, but I didn’t feel like I had any other options. Very early the next morning, I snuck out of the house, which was now not such a difficult thing to do, since the mansion was pretty much empty. I arrived at the hospital and Dr. Bruce insisted that full blood tests be conducted, to see if I was a match for my father. All I could do was hope and pray, as I waited for the results from the doctor. Knowing that he wasn’t my biological father, it was going to be a miracle to see that we were a match, but I was counting on that miracle. I wai
BLAIR’S POV Brian’s entrance definitely came off as scary and the entire process was immediately put on hold. “I am the father, and this is without my consent,” Brian announced to Dr. Bruce. Dr. Bruce was surprised to find out that I was pregnant for my father’s staff. At least it was a good thing that Dr. Bruce knew nothing about the family anymore. A lot had really changed. I was definitely going to credit that to Jane. Dr. Bruce was a close friend of my father and my father used to tell him everything. Subsequently, Jane started to complain about their relationship and she omitted Dr. Bruce’s name from the monthly parties. I guess her plan worked well at the end of the day and the both of them were now very distant. My father only returned here due to his health and he was with Ashley most of the time, so they had no conversations whatsoever. My father was also unconscious most of the time and that largely explained why Dr. Bruce was not up to date in our lives. I was go
BLAIR'S POV Brian asked me to come with him, and I did. Since we still had a few weeks, Dr. Bruce advised that I not make any hasty decisions and I could subtly see how excited he was, since he was not readily in support, in the first place. Brian and Steven took me to a restaurant, where Brian exclusively reserved. As we sat, was when I was finally able to realize that Brian's arm had a cast. “Your arm,” I pointed out.“Of course,” Steven replied. “On the day of the surgery, the specialist showed up and said there was no need for an amputation,” Steven said, “So yea, it would take a couple of months, but he'll be fine,” Steven concluded. “Well, that is good news,” I said, but not with a lot of excitement in my tone. “So?” I asked. “Mr. Williams’ high school lover was pregnant for him, but she only found out after Mr. Williams was out of town.” “His family had relocated and by her testimony, all efforts she made to reach him was, well…” “Fruitless,” Brian explained. “Eve
BLAIR’S POV The next day, the doctors were ready for the surgery and Brian and I paced the hallway for hours, waiting for report from the surgery. We spent ten hours in the hallway, within which Brian brought different meals for me, but the desire to eat was far from me. I was hoping that my father found the strength to fight. Interestingly, within this period, Jane did not show up at the hospital. It was also not Ashley's day to visit, so I was the only family present. I begged the doctor to not report the status of the surgery to Jane or Ashley. Although Jane had been pretty much on her best behavior, I still couldn't trust her. She had proven to be a major threat to my life, more than once, and added to that, I had seen her take a life that she loved. As far as I was concerned, she was capable of anything. I knew there were phases to her life and even though I had placed all of that on hold, so I can concentrate on my father's health, I also had it in mind to expose all of
BLAIR'S POV For the next two weeks, Steven was placed on dialysis, to cover for his failed kidney and the absence of the other. Every time I looked at him, I was filled with pain. If it was true that Mr. Williams was Steven's father, Steven had displayed the height of love- exchanging his life for father he never knew or met. If on the other hand, it turned out that Mr. Williams was not his father, Steven had put himself at the risk of death, because of a stranger. Steven had opened my eyes to an entirely view of life. I had truly never met a man, to have love, purer than Steven does. He put his life on the line, over and again and also had remained so loyal to Brian, even after knowing that they weren't blood related, the whole while. Steven had the purest heart that there was and at this point, I considered him an angel. His heart was too pure to be human. There was no way anyone was going to convince me otherwise. My father on the other hand was recovering pretty fine. H
BLAIR’S POV My family was happy. I just became the owner of one of the high-ranking companies in Vegas. My boy just turned one, how could I not be ready. Now I could categorically say that my life had never been happier. All I had been fighting for, for as long as I could remember and now had, and the very last thing on my list, was getting married to the one man that had been able to love me, through thick, thin, storm, hails, the rain of fire, brimstone and Sulphur. Through fairly good times and the bad times, through moments where I struggled to love myself. I couldn’t be more delighted. Contrary to Brian’s request, we were having a quiet wedding with the people that mattered the most to us. The very ones who watched our love story began in the craziest of ways, the ones who loved us through the toughest times and encouraged us to love each other through what felt like the possible. Tears flowed down my cheeks, with no apologies whatsoever to my makeup, as II walked down the
BLAIR’S POV I stood in front of the court, with a racing heart. For the last three months, we had been going back and forth with the company’s case in court and this was the day for the court’s final verdict. With Jennifer’s help, we were able to pull down some of the board members, who were then in the picture and they had given their testimonies to the best of their knowledge at the time.Some of them had also patched their relationship with my father, understanding that at the time, he was being manipulated and couldn’t have been able to help himself. The others thought it was wise to maintain their distance, saying that they were only offering the help they could for mine and Jennifer’s sake and didn’t think it was necessary to have a continuing relationship with my father. In it and through it all, we were grateful that they even showed up, some of which were outside the country already, but all returned for a justifiable cause.“Common, let’s go. I know we have this.” Brian
BLAIR’S POV “Blair!” she ran to me with a hug,This was not one of Jennice’s tricks at all. It really was Jennifer. I was filled with awe. “What?” Jennice asked. “You really didn’t think I was going to let that evil sister of mine kill my only child, did you?” Jennice asked.“What?” I was still stunned. All of me was vibrating. “Oh, sit down.” Jennice said. “I had Jennifer when I was quite young and since my stupid lover would not take me and the child and I was still trying to find my foot in the world I was left to live in, I couldn’t keep her.” Jennice began to explain. “I figured it would be better for her to be in an orphanage, than out here with me and so I took her there.” “It ached my heart that I began to travel a lot and lost track of keeping an eye on her, so she began to go through so much stress.”“When I returned to fix it, I realized my twin sister was after her life.”“Jennifer really was involved in that accident that day, but I stole her from the vehicle and
BLAIR’S POV “I could not believe my ears. “Please, show up alone first.’ She pleaded. Before could be asked twice, I fled out of the house, swiping the keys to the car from the table.It wasn’t long after I left the house that I got a text with a location. I diligently followed, not thinking about whether or not I was going to get myself in trouble, or probably kidnapped. I still had my suspicions on who had called and all I could call it was suspicion, since I wasn’t sure yet and it would have been the most unbelievable thing. I followed the location and arrived almost in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but trees all round I was beginning to think this was some prank call or an attempt at being kidnapped. If it was, I couldn’t even be mad and all I could now do was pray to be successfully out of here. ‘Maybe I had reacted a little too quickly.’‘What was I even thinking?’ I was lamenting and asking questions.I kept trying to reach the number over and over again, bu
BLAIR’S POV Sebastine did not wait to see his father before we left.Luckily, I could leave, although, with a bandaged arm. The bullet had been taken out and the wound was going to slowly heal and I was definitely going to keep seeing Dr. Bruce to make sure that I was fine. Sebastine signed every single thing in his name back to his father and he was leaving the Maldives to literally start a new life in Vegas. He chose us. My only excitement was that we arrived just in time to save him, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to react to losing another member of my family, especially to suicide. When we arrived Vegas, we dropped over at Brian’s house first. Sebastine was going to be living with Brian, before he is able to do anything else.He was done with college and could easily get a job, even though Brian had already promised to include him in the company. Sebastine, had declined both Brian’s, as well as my offer, to work in the company, saying he was tired of family ‘hand-m
BLAIR’S POV We walked into Sebastine with a gun in his hand, just about to fire a bullet into his head. Brian flew for him and I could only stand there in tears, since I had Regal in my hands and couldn't quite get involved in any rigorous fights. Sebastine was hell bent on ending his life, as he began a struggle with Brian for the weapon. “Let it go, Brian!” He yelled, “you both, get out of here!” “Let me be!” He and Brian continued the war for the weapon. “Sebastine, no, please, I beg you.” Ever single word I uttered was choking in tears. “It doesn't have to end this way, please,” I continued. “What other ways does it need to end, Blair?” He probed, “huh?” Luckily, Brian was stronger than Sebastine, sho had spent quite a number of days, without food, but this did not in any way deter the struggle. I took a few steps closer, towards them, trying to beg Sebastine to let go already. “Argh!” I groaned in pain, as a bullet flew out of the gun and right for m the region between
BLAIR’S POV At this point, I was giving up on everything. I was losing hope and thought about letting the company go, but my father was still out here fighting and if he was not giving up, I couldn’t throw all his hard work by doing same. I was quite weary of it all, but had to continue. If there was a slightest chance to get the company back, I had to encourage myself to hold on to it, until we made it big enough to win us back the company. I woke up on this fateful morning with the most disturbing thought. I was restless all night and failed to have any good or proper rest. “Are you okay?” were Brian’s first words that said hi to me, as soon as I opened my eyes. It was pretty obvious that I wasn’t and I had swollen eye bags from not getting any sleep at all. “You need to reach out to Sebastine,” I said, shocking Brian hard with my request. “I am really worried about him, Brian,” I continued. “He is all alone and as if it was not enough that he has criminal parents, he hurt
BLAIR’S POVI always knew that Brian was struggling to deal with the challenges that came with being my life, but what I didn’t know was that it had gotten as bad as stuffing himself with alcohol, to the very point that he was sick. On the first occasion that Brian retuned in this manner, we had just gotten married and since I didn’t know if he was alcoholic or not, so I didn’t quite care. The second occasion was the week he was to get married to Stacy and he was unhappy, from the innermost part of his soul. Now, he was here and lamenting over being with me and just how difficult it was. It melted my heart that even in that drunken state, he could still think about me and mention that he was willing to love me, despite everything. However, I couldn’t stop thinking,‘If he was in this much distress, was it worth it?’ I helped Brian clean up his body and got him to rest, while I walked downstairs to make meaning out of my day. “It’s a good thing they found their way home.” Collins
BLAIR’S POV I now had more thoughts on my mind than running a company, after the period of our grieving. Collins had filled me with questions that all I really did was just lay down and thought through his words, over and over again. ‘Was there a right time to stop loving? If there was, when was the right time?’‘What if we are just making the people we love unhappy, by being with them, because their hearts would rather be elsewhere?’Collins already confessed to never seeing Stacy smile this bright, or laugh as hard as she did, when she was with him, and even I was already sick of how all Brian and I ever did was solve one chaos, after another. I was already so convinced that all my presence ever did was fill his life with problem after problem, and it was quite evident now that he was struggling to love me, and who could blame him?Brian and Stacy obviously got carried away in their chats and the extended period they had to work together, neither of them remembered to return on
