THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 106
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

BLAIR’S POV “Happy Birthday, my love,” Jane gave my father another peck. No one was more confused than I was. My father seemed pretty surprised too, but if he was, who told Jane that we were going to be returning today?I watched my father’s confusion slowly melt into a smile. He then gave Jane a tight hug and followed with a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, my love,” he appreciated. “Aww,” the crowd exclaimed and clapped, like they were witnessing some top tier love story. I was blown away with disgust. ‘How could my father be so welcoming of her?’ Jane had abandoned my father in the hospital for weeks. She hoped that he would die, after cutting him off every medical service. Now she shows up with a surprise birthday party and that was it?Everything was blown away, just like that?“Common, everybody, the party is outside,” Jane announced. Everyone delightedly went out, except me, who just headed straight to my room, the attic. I couldn’t bear to watch this eye sor

THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 195
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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 190
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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 188
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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 187
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
