THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 123
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,

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

BLAIR’S POV My father did not shut down the idea, like I hoped he would, and that left Ronald and I having to share a room for the night. We both laid in bed, staring at the ceiling for hours. My eyes were wide open and could not get any sleep.Between Ronald and I, there was no denying that there was a very strong attraction between us. At this point, I found it difficult to tell whether it was the vulnerable state of both of us, or if there was really something here for both of us. However, it felt so wrong to even think of an attraction to Jennifer’s boyfriend, barely over a week after her demise, especially since I knew that her involvement with me was what got her killed.Ronald and I were selling the relationship idea really well, and all Jane could do was suspect otherwise. The way he looked at me and the obvious connection we had was more convincing by the minute. Another thing that worked in our favor, was the private nature of both Jennifer and Ronald. Neither party we

BLAIR’S POV For the next three days, Ronald and I lived the happy couple life to the best of our abilities. We shared a room, sat side by side each other at every meal, which was now customary to be as a family at the dining table.Ronald would hold my hand at the slightest chance he got, and he would give me pecks and I would do the same, every time Jane was watching. My father was also getting really fond of Ronald’s presence too. They watch television shows and sports together, talk about business and laugh over dad jokes and the bond they shared was greatly pissing Jane off. Ashley was the only one who was clueless, in all of this, and I was living for the joy of seeing Jane want to run mad over the family I was building. Ronald was a very intelligent man, so it didn’t take long for my father to adapt to him. My father was willing to love Ronald, as long as he made me happy, and since I had been doing a great job in being happy, putting behind all the hurt and pain behind me

BLAIR’S POV “Ronald?” I called softly, as I walked into our shared bedroom. He was seated on the floor, with his back leaning on the bed.I simplified my dilemma by running after Ronald, since Brian had chosen to be here on Jane’s invitation. I was so convinced that he had connived with Jane, for the sole purpose of making my plan with Ronald fall apart. Even though Ronald and I very much understood that this was all pretense, he ran from me and I was also quite interested in making him feel better. “You are pregnant?” Ronald queried, as I sat beside him, right there on the floor. I took a deep breath and then gave an affirmative nod. “Why didn’t you tell me?” came his next question. “I didn’t think it was necessary,” I whispered. He nodded. I could see just how hurt he was, but my hands felt behind my back and I wasn’t sure what there was to do, to make this situation better. “It’s all pretend, yea?” he said, with a broken voice, barely above a whisper. “How I feel is irre

BLAIR’S POV After dropping the bomb on Brian, I ran to the room, and cried bitterly.Now I was sure that I had lost Brian, and not even a miracle could save the situation. I wished I could explain to Brian, but just as I was about to, I found Jane staring at me, from the attic window. I knew that this entire lie and pretend thing was going very far, farther than I hoped, but if Jane was willing to live a lie for all the two decades of my life, then I was equally willing to do anything, to bring it all to an end. I had not lost sight of my goal and I knew just what I had to do, living one day at a time.My rushing in had woken Ronald up and when he saw me crying, he pulled me in and just hugged me tightly. Brian did not show up at the dinner table later that night and neither did Ronald. The house had become quite intense and now I realized that telling lies alone was not going to fix Jane, I had to take a step forward and I knew just the thing. Meanwhile, Brian sent me text mes

BLAIR’S POV Brian could not sleep all night and was taking a walk in the early hours of the morning, after sending me a hundred texts and getting no reply, when he ran into Ronald sneaking out of the house. They both had a conversation and Ronald had explained the entire relationship scenario to Brian, confirming Brian’s already existing suspicion. While Brian promised Ronald that he was going to take care of me and do everything within his power to bring Jane to book and give me the peace I was strongly fighting for, Ronald assured that if we ever we needed him for anything. If ever there came a point on our quest where we needed him, we should not hesitate to call, as he was going to be there for us the very minute we needed him. Brian apologized to me, and assured me that he was here now and everything was going to be okay. “Do you actually love him?” Brian had to query again, after my outburst.I shook my head and responded negatively. Ronald was definitely a good guy, but 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
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
