THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 131
BLAIR’S POVMy father was struck with disbelief and could not take his eyes off Sebastine, at least for the few minutes we were together before we drove off. With Ronald gone, it was back to Sebastine and I. Sebastine had finally learnt to stand up to his father, which was something Brian and I were proud about. We left the premises with no destination in mind, but just figured that some air would do us all good. Although Sebastine did not hesitate to come make the air uncomfortable for Jane, it was quite obvious that he was uncomfortable himself. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for him, finally finding his biological mother and she was…Well… Jane. “I think I should return to Primm.” Sebastine said, after a few hours of just driving around and evaluating our next move, following Jane’s reaction to this one. Sebastine, who had been awfully quiet, broke the silence with a request to return to his vacation with his father. “Of course,” Brian said, turning the vehicle around,

BLAIR’S POVI woke up with a broad smile on my face.The curtains were closed and Brian had a swell dinner by the side of my bed. We had had a beautiful time, ending in bed after weeks of having to deal with so much. “Does this mean we are in a relationship?” I queried rhetorically, wanting to see his reaction.Brian’s eyes glowed immediately and I couldn’t hide the smile, from seeing him trying to bottle in so much joy. “Uhm, relationship,” he was stammering. “If I am going to be in a marriage, I would like to be asked properly,” I said, “Every step, duly followed,” I added. Brian had a broad smile on his face. I had come to terms with the fact that I did not have to run away anymore. Running had not gotten me anywhere. No matter how hard I tried, I ended up in Brian’s arms anyway, so it was time to quit trying. While a lot of people say that we choose who we love, we don’t always get to choose. Brian was at first a choice I made, but even when I tried to go back on my choi

BLAIR’S POV Ashley and Father’s call made our vacation device free, and when I finally learned to stop worrying, I was having a good time with Sebastine and Brian. “It literally cannot get any worse than it already is,” Sebastine said to me, his phrase being the very one to calm my heart down.He was right. Jane had literally showed up as the worse thing, there was not a single thing she was about to do that was going to show up as new or strange, or make the matters any worse. She was obligated to keep my father alive, because she was going to be the first suspect, if he should unexpectedly die. “Live in the moment, leaving the worries of yesterday in yesterday and those of tomorrow for tomorrow.” Sebastine said, as we were returning from shopping. Brian was set to spoil me silly. I had an entire luggage with more clothes than I was going to be able to wear for the week. I was also now excited for Stacy’s wedding. I did miss the times Collins and I related as pretty good frien

BLAIR’S POV My life may not be perfect yet and maybe it was never going to hit perfection, but at least it had love in it and in the end, I was willing to stake my life on the fact our love was going conquer all. We were preparing for the trip to Winchester, to witness Stacy’s wedding and I was living happy. The wedding was tomorrow and we were packing up. “I really hope I do not forget anything,” I said, fitting all my luggage in my bag, three hours before my flight. “Why are you worried?” Brian asked. “You can literally travel without a single thing and get everything you need. You know that, right?” he probed. I stared at him with raised brows. It was typical of Brian to remind me that he had more than enough to shut the state down, if I willed. “Is Sebastine coming?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Brian responded, “I did tell him we would be gone for a few days for Stacy’s wedding, but I never got any feedback from him,” he reported. “Right.” I responded, barely above a whispe

BLAIR’S POVLove, they say, is a choice and so was trust. So, here I was, trusting the man I love and on a trip to Winchester for Stacy’s wedding. We couldn’t find Sebastine anywhere and we were almost late for our flight, in fact, we barely made it on board. When we arrived, we alighted at the mansion and rested till the next day, which was Stacy’s wedding. I was a lot quieter and lived more in my thoughts than I was in reality. “You know you have to quit sulking right?” Brian said, walking into the room as I prepared. I responded with a weak smile off the side of my lips. “I’m ready.”Overall, the wedding went on beautifully well and Stacy and I finally had the long overdue discussion, after the wedding ceremony. “Brian is a good man,” she said, “But I have no doubt that he would be happy with you, because you are equally a gem, Blair,” “I am so sorry for all the hurt and pain I caused you. ““At a point, I was drowned in confusion.” I didn’t know whether or not I wanted B

BLAIR’S POV “Dear God!” I exclaimed, as the folder popped up open with series of the crimes that Jane was involved in and roles she played. It turned out, Jane was a lot more than we thought and when Steven discovered, he began to try to pin her down, making his own investigations. Some of the content were phone conversations with her accomplices and a few of Steven’s conversations with them via mail. Jane definitely had trusted eyes everywhere in Vegas, and every one who tried to betray her, communicating with Steven, who was emailing with an anonymous account, Jane always had a way of silencing the person. This was something I could not deny, especially seeing how she treated Kieran. “Down town is a location in Vegas,” Brian said, as we went through the files. “Perhaps her headquarters or something,” Stacy said. While they kept trying to decipher, I had my hands placed over my mouth and was still struggling with the disbelief. ‘There was no way this was happening.’ I though

BRIAN’S POV Sebastine was completely frozen to be hearing our discovery and now we had full team of five.Stacy thought that this was a case to be handled by ourselves and not handed to the police. “Trust me, I have dealt with high-level criminals like her, and people like her only go down to the grave.” Stacy said, as we sat down in our hotel room to discuss. Luckily, we had a free hotel room for Collins and Stacy, and even though it was not so much of a honeymoon anymore, I constantly hoped that the space was working for them. We didn’t arrive and run straight to Vegas, we had to strategize for a few days at Primm, and on the first night, it was a meeting with the team. “I couldn’t care any less if she made it out dead or alive,” Brian shared his few. Sebastine’s silence and the reserved look in his shared his obvious desire for her to be alive and I also just wanted to see her rot in jail and think her life choices over and over. I also would want closure and some answers, s

BLAIR’S POV We followed Ronald into the warehouse building, all our hearts seeking answers, the curiosity on our faces could not be hidden.“As much as you don’t want to hear this, she’s innocent of the crimes,” Ronald said, “Well, most of it.”“Not to say that she doesn’t have a couple of dark secrets herself, but there is someone else.” He said. “This does not make any sense.” Brian said, after critically thinking. “What you are trying to tell us, is that Mrs. Williams has a lookalike, roaming the streets of Vegas, who somehow happened to be some sort of crime lord?” Brian translated everything Ronald had been explaining. Ronald had gone over his explanation over and over again, three times now, but it was indeed a hard pill to swallow and believing it was just very difficult. “Whether it is a look alike, or a twin, no one knows for sure yet,” Ronald said. “Or it’s just her evil self, roaming the streets and executing her heart’s content.” Brian said, rolling his eyes to back

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
