THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 141
BLAIR’S POV It was both creepy, but yet quite a relief that they were expecting us, as it kind of just set the mood. “Oh, she came with a party,” the other lady said. Roberts got out of the sofa and the lady followed. They were both covered under a duvet, at the time of our arrival. “Jane!” the woman called. “How have you been, sis,” she went to her with a hug. Jane did not reciprocate the energy and her confusion at that very moment, made me believe everything Jane was saying. She was obviously clueless on the lady before us.“Have a seat.” She gestured to us all. The woman was definitely sassier than Jane was, and in her presence, Jane was pretty very calm and modest. This was the first I was going to witness and it was out of this world to know that there was someone who’s mere presence alone humbled Jane so much. It was an executive lounge with a living room that had more than enough sofas to carry us all and since we were here for answers, we did not hesitate to seat. “I

BLAIR’S POV Apparently, Jennice meant every word of her dramatic pause. She served us tea and I wasn’t sure whether we were hypnotized or she was just that captivating, but we were drinking on her every word. It was only a few hours into the morning and breakfast was definitely appropriate. “I do not understand all of this,” Sebastine said, “Why were you willing to throw your sister under the bus, if you loved her so much?” “Yea, what if she got caught and prosecuted for all those crimes?” I chipped in. Jennice laughed, “Well, she handled it, did she?” Jennice responded. I couldn’t even look at this woman. I immediately felt very bad for Jane. All these years, I thought Jane was an evil and distasteful woman, I never would have though that she was just being a puppet in the hands of people that she did not know existed. She was just a frustrated woman, who could not talk about her pains, because the first time she did, to the people she loved and trusted, they made sure it w

BLAIR’S POV “Are we going to do it?” Sebastine asked. We returned to our room, after Jennice finally let us go. “Involve ourselves in an attack against the queen?” Brian asked, giving Sebastine a death stare.“Is there not an obvious answer to that question already, Sebastine?” he followed with another question. Of course, it was obvious that we couldn’t be involved in Jennice’s big bow, but Sebastine’s question was coming from a place of panic and to be fair, he wasn’t the only one who was terrified. We all were.Jennice had a big plan to run all of England bankrupt, or at least, crippled the Queen and she needed us all on the plan. “We have to report to the police,” Brian said, Jane erupted in laughter. “Bold of you to think that is an option, Brian,” she said, “What do you mean?” he probed. “You work with the police, Collins does too. You both were there, why can’t you bring her to book?” I asked, agreeing with Brian. “She has my criminal record,” Jane said, “And mine to

BLAIR’S POVWe all had no idea that England’s Queen had been extending invitations to Brian and he had a private pass to her. She was coming into the country the next day, so what ever decision we had to take, we had to do it immediately. This new information on Brian, made Jennice’s use for us make more sense, because I couldn’t in the life of me, wrap my head around why Jennice was going to need us, who were inexperienced and clueless on her job, to execute such a plan. A plan she called ‘her big bow,’ It was the billionaire pass and also the fact that if this went south, we were going to be taking the fall for all her offenses. Jane was identical to her, so we were going to be going down as her stupid crime team. “Her flight comes in at noon,” Jane said, “Brian, when is your appointment?” she probed. “What appointment?”“What are you talking about?” Brian queried Jane. “Shouldn’t you call the Queen and get an appointment?” Jane asked back. Brian was taken aback. “What are

BLAIR’S POV Since Jennice had her ears on our conversation and her eyes on us, Brian had emailed the Queen all of Jennice’s plans, so she could play along and the police was definitely there to catch Jennice, Roberts and all her accomplices.We could finally have some peace, watching her being led to jail.Stacy and Jane had their records cleared, just for bringing Jennice and Roberts to book. It was Ronald’s plan to by pass the plan and even though we acted in fear, it was very beautiful that we pulled it off. The Queen was also delighted to be meeting Brian in person, and seeing the Queen obsessed over his economic knowledge and business skill, made me realize how much of a blessing I had, to have him by my side, spending his life and time with me, when it took him years to honor the Queen’s invitation. She insisted we spend a few days with her and the rest of the team got to return to their peaceful and blessed lives, while we stayed back in London. The weather was quite a bea

BLAIR’S POV “Uhm, Blair,” Jane turned around. I couldn’t help notice that she was quite uncomfortable with my presence. This was excluding the fact that she was sweating and stammering. “Is everything okay?” “Mother,” I gulped in a large amount of saliva, as the name left my mouth. I had not gotten adapted to calling her mother, but after the happening of the past few months, which we kept a secret from my father, in order to protect his health, I felt like Jane and I had come a long way, crossing a major hurdle together and it felt time appropriate to call her mother, even though trauma from the past was still holding me back. Jane cleared her throat. “Of course, my darling,” she responded, forcing through a smile. “Everything is perfect.” She said.“Is there something you need?” she probed. I had reservations on her action, just by mere looking at her. I was struggling to figure what her conversation was about that made her struggle with my presence in the room. I just kep

BLAIR’S POV Early the next morning, the entire family were already at breakfast table, by the time I was waking up from sleep. I had already freshened up and just joined them. It was only two days to Christmas and the snow outside was unforgiving. I had on protective clothes, as did the entire family, while we shared a hot breakfast. Sitting on the table with them all, made me realize that family really was everything. We had conversations and laughed and it was very peaceful to be spending some quality time with family. At a point, I thought about the previous night and was glad that I took Brian’s advice to let everything go. Seeing Jane with smiles on her face and joy in her heart was quite satisfying as well. “So, Brian, have you considered investing in the company?” My father asked. I now had no record of what was going on the company and now that they were not putting him under duress, Brian could decide whether or not he was willing to invest in the company or not and

BLAIR’S POV If I understood Brian properly, there was no point that money was withdrawn from the company for my father’s treatment and the only reason I was not aware was because Dr. Bruce did not want to bother me. If this was true, why was the company running a downward slope, very fast. Brian and I, in a bid for clarity, hurriedly went to the office and we continued our search for more and more documents that was going to explain further. We found nothing in my father’s office and after a few hours, we had not made so much progress. I wasn’t sure what exactly Brian was looking for, but if he said that something was not right, then something was definitely not right. After more hours, I just had to voice out.“What is going on, Brian?” I questioned. “The records…” he struggled to speak, as he continued scattering every single file that was available. “Someone is lying,” he said, “It’s either the records or the staff, but whatever it is, the figures do not align. If someone

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
