BLAIR’S POV Jane and I followed the police officers to the hospital, where we identified Jane’s body. Tears were flowing down my cheeks, in never ending streams. “So, her vehicle last control and she drove right into a tree, setting her car bonnet on fire,” the police officer explained, showing us footage from the cameras on the road. “The police on duty in that street were able to get to her on time and put out the fire, but she was badly injured and by the time we arrived her, she had given up on fighting.” His every word only took another chunk of my soul. “Excuse me,” I said, requesting the tablet from the police man. After watching the footage, a couple of times, I noticed a tiny shot into the tire at the driver’s seat, just before she lost control. I played the video again in slow motion and confirmed my suspicion. “This doesn’t look like an accident,” I said, pinching the curiosity of the police officers and also Jane. “Officer, this is a clear case of assassination,”

BLAIR’S POV With no hospital appointments, or company to be at, considering the unfortunate event at the company, Jane and my father were fully at home and watching me like a hawk. My father had specifically instructed that I should not be allowed to leave the house by myself and I wasn’t allowed to leave at all, unless it was absolutely important. Father acknowledged how close Jennifer and I were, and he feared that with two major losses in a matter of weeks, I was going to do something to hurt myself.Leaving the house to meet up with an anonymous appointment was quite the task, but thankfully, something I was able to get around. I had woken up early to steal and hide some of the essential groceries I knew the house would be needing, after which I pretended to be in my room all day. When one of the staffs was sent to replace the groceries, I was snuck into the trunk of the car and when he arrived, I snuck out, only to find my way to the park. It was a very close one, but lucki

BLAIR’S POVBetween trying to figure clues out and pacifying Ronald, so as not to start a war he was incapacitated to finish, I had the most emotionally and physically draining day. So much that I walked into the house without any second thoughts and completely forgot that it took me sneaking out of the house, to finally make it to the park.Ronald was ready for war and was willing to make Jane pay, and he didn’t care if it was legal or not. All my effort to try to explain to him that Jane was a sleek criminal and would have him apprehended for a crime she committed, fell on Ronald’s deaf ears. Ronald was blinded and deafened by his pain, at this point, he couldn’t care any less about wrong moves and the gave consequences. This display of anger, made it impossible for me to share my knowledge of Jane to Ronald. At that volatile state, seeking revenge, he could blow up everything and at the moment, I couldn’t afford that. “Blair?” I heard a call that sounded pretty distant at fir

BLAIR’S POV I fought back, trying to loosen her grip on me. “Last I checked, I do not report to you as the police,” I said. Jane pulled out her I.D and flashed it across my face. “Start talking, young lady,” She said. “Why would I know anything about Jennifer’s boyfriend?” I asked, finally loosening her grip from my arm. “But you were joyfully going down to report,” She said, “Yes,” I yelled, “I am going to take my chances and tell the police that I know you had something to do with Jennifer’s death,” I said, in her face and staring into her eyes, without fear. “’Ha ha ha,” She laughed comically, “Very funny, Blair,”“Real classic,” She said. We were both staring into each other’s eyes. “Here I am, struggling to keep you for your dying father,” Jane said. Hearing her call my father dying, was a major trigger for me and Jane was well aware. “But then, here you are, with no atom of apology, pushing yourself to a quick grave,” Jane’s tone grew thicker and thicker. “I have

BLAIR’S POV“Ronald is my boyfriend,” I said. “He’s only here to support me, because I was too afraid to come here by myself.” Jane and Ronald were taken aback.I stared into the Ronald’s eyes, until he eventually had to buy into my lie. “This is ridiculous.” Jane blurted. “Why is that?” I queried. “Am I too young to have a boyfriend?” “Mother,” I called in a very sarcastic and emphatic tone. The look on the officer’s face immediately shut Jane up. “Mrs. Williams, you do know that it is terrible to try to implicate someone else, but I am willing to let this slide, because I understand the need to protect your daughter and also it will be unfair to overlook your long line of good work in the force,” the officer said. We walked out of the office and went over the car. I was trembling from my hair tip to my toes. Ronald was very frustrated and so was I. “I told you she was sleek,” I said. Ronald clenched his fist and kept banging the steering wheel. “I don’t clear how sleek

BLAIR’S POV I felt crippled, now that my child was now out there, in Jane’s face. This was a piece of information I felt she was willing and able to use against me and even though my father did not intentionally reveal it to her, I was still mad at him for putting it out there. The only thing I ever asked of him, he had failed to do and I was both mad and panicking. My father walked out of my room, after Jane walked in, but that did not resolve the problem. Since my father did not, I also did not bother offering any explanation to Jane. Whether or not I was heavy with Brian’s child was supposed to be the least of her worries.Jane got quite pissed with the silence, and stormed out of my room, following behind my father, not long after.I fell into bed and buried my face in a pillow.I began thinking long and hard on other ways to get around this disaster, and while I was at it, my phone came buzzing with Brian’s call.Now was not a very good time, so I ignored, with tears in my

BLAIR’S POV Very luckily for Ronald and I, we realized ourselves, just before we locked lips and was able to fight the strong force of attraction that was pulling us together. It was a miracle for us both to realize that we were pushed by our broken hearts and the need for company on both our paths. However, crossing the awkwardness of that moment, only meant one thing- I could not leave Ronald all by himself here. I might not be so lucky to be here in time to save him from harming himself again. “Please, come with me,” I pleaded over and over. “Leave me to die here, Blair,” Ronald repeatedly replied. “See, the fact that you are requesting death makes it even scarier,” I said, “Ronald, please,”“If I am going to figure this out, I need you.” I said, “If Jennifer is going to get any justice, then only you and I, who knows that she didn’t die in a freak accident like it is acclaimed, only us can do something about this, give her the justice she deserves.” I spoke extensively,
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 125
BLAIR’S POV With Jane around and my father still in love with her and holding her in such high admiration, my only option was to continue lying to my father. “Ronald’s house caught on fire and he lost pretty much everything,” I said.“I was going to tell you, but I waited until you got back from the hospital, since I didn’t want to bother you much over the phone,” I said. My father clearly showed his displeasure in his eyes, but he and I were still trying to get along, after years of being maltreated in his care. He was still trying to make up for the years he joined Jane to treat me like less of a person, so he did not bother questioning my decisions. After we perfectly sold the lie of Ronald’s catching fire and him only needing to be here for a few days, my father took a deep breath and broke the silence first. “I’m sure you can extend hospitality for the next couple of days,” he said. “Thank you so much, father,” I hugged him tightly. Jane was quiet and definitely did not
