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 I drove with anger boiling in my bosom and releasing its vapors through all my veins. My whole life was a lie, carefully constructed by this evil woman, Jane. A lie she had prepared, even before my birth. ‘How could someone have this much evil in their heart?’ I thought. I drove at a speed I had never done before, exceeding my limit by far, and I found no atom of fear in my body. I hurried to the mansion. “Where is she?” I yelled in the premises. “You deceitful woman!” I kept shouting and shouting, but the house only echoed, sounding pretty empty. I got into the car and drove off to the office. To my surprise, it was equally locked.The gate had a big chain around its gates, as well as a massive padlock. I found this extremely worrying. What was worse, was that I couldn't find myself reporting this to my father. Despite that he had undergone treatment for his renal failure, he had a weak heart and I wasn't sure what this would do to him, especially since I was
BLAIR’S POV “When I found out you were family, I didn’t know how to tell you.I wasn’t sure how you’d react, because heck, it took months and I also didn’t know how to react. I wanted to be mad that father never looked for me, but with a daughter like you, how could I be?It’s sad that things have to end like this,But I am just glad to have met you and also shared moments of bliss with you. Jane is not who she says she is. She owns a couple of properties that you could trace her misdeeds to, Down town…”I listened to Steven’s message over and over and over again. The first part of his message always brought tears to my eyes. It was a voice message, delivered in his last moments, without the knowledge of Brian and my father. Since Steven did not give them the permission to listen to it, I didn’t either. The message was on Steven’s iPad and it had automatically become mine. It had been seven days since Steven’s demise and his funeral service was two days ago. In all the days
BLAIR’S POVRight after dinner, my father followed me to my room and continually tried to persuade me to stay. “We all just can’t leave,” he said,“Someone would need somebody,” “Well, I am afraid, I cannot be that person, father,” I countered. I did not want to stay. I couldn’t. My heart was set on uncovering Jane’s schemes and I had her thoughts at the back of my head, all through the period of our mourning. I had kept the information I had on Jane as a secret and all that Steven was trying to uncover, just before he passed. Deep in my heart, I knew that this was up to me. It was the reason Steven delivered the message to me, and not anyone else.We both knew that Brian was likely to react violently, taking the law into his hands, and my father was likely to not believe a word that we said, unless we had concrete evidence. As far as Ashley and my father were concerned, Jane was an angel, and until we are able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that she was not what he thought
