BLAIR’S POV “We can use this, right?” I asked. “This can pass off as evidence.” I grew very excited and hyper active. According to my father’s record, that night, he was intoxicated and had no idea what was happening. My father did not do a lot of alcohol, so surely Jane must have done something to him, or perhaps he was under duress. A contract signed under duress, can not stand. I couldn’t hold my peace, moved by the slightest chance that we could reclaim the company. I hugged Sebastine very tightly. He did not seem very happy or overly excited, but he was the most supportive. I tried to build a case around the information I had just found, and while I was at it, Brian’s call came in. “Brian,” I responded excitedly, which was not quite the reaction he was expecting. “Blair, Princess, I am so sorry,” he started, “Don’t ever do that to me again,”“Whatever it is, I promise we can talk about it, okay?” “We should never ignore each other because we are upset, alright?” Brian so
BLAIR’S POV “Blair!” “Blair, stay with me.” I kept hearing Sebastine call. His voice sounded very distant and the rolling wheels of the stretcher, made my blur vision even more unstable.I was hanging between consciousness and unconsciousness and I was in labor. My thoughts were going back and forth, and it felt as though I was hanging between life and death. This was not the happiest or easiest experience for me. My child wasn’t due until another few weeks, but the stress had compelled me into premature labor and this came with a lot of health risk for me. Luckily, Sebastine was there to help me, as a matter of urgency. Since I was already weak from not eating for up to a full day, the doctors had to go surgical with the process and in the next couple of hours, they extracted the child, just before I lost consciousness.I slowly opened my eyes to the familiar ceiling of Dr. Bruce’s hospital. My vision took a while to clear out and when it finally did, I recognized Sebastine’s
BLAIR’S POV I requested to see my child and the doctor asked me to return in one week to get my child and I already could not wait. The past two weeks had been really emotional for me. Sebastine softly led me to the door and just before I got to the door, Brian ran into the hospital, like he had been chased. “I am here,” he said, “I am here now, princess.” I paused for a second. We were all startled by the way he ran into the building and I froze and stared at him for a few seconds. “Princess, I am here.” He said again. I turned softly to Sebastine. “Please take me home.” I said to Sebastine. I wasn’t ready to deal with this right now. Every day, I laid in my hospital bed and would constantly take glimpse at the door, hoping that every time it went open, it was Brian, but every single time I got disappointed. In the first three days, I would ask over and over if Sebastine explained by situation to him, until I grew weary of asking. Sebastine had abandoned his work and comp
BRIAN’S POV I spent weeks in the craziest mission of trying to uncover Jane’s involvement in the theft and also clear my name. When Jennice sent in her brilliant plan, what she failed to mention was that it was going to take weeks and additionally, I was going to come to points that would require solitude. It was an air-tight plan, but also with high tendencies to go south, if a single thing went wrong. Everything had to be executed in perfection otherwise the moment I was discovered alive, I was going to be apprehended. Luckily, I had a few members of the police, who were now more family to me, and with Collins, Stacy and Jennice, we were able to figure it out, uncover the mystery. “When I learnt that our little miracle was forced out of you prematurely and your life was at stake, trust me, I wanted to show up immediately.” I tried to explain to Blair. “I couldn’t leave and return at will and as a matter of fact, I had to cut down on conversations. Hence the reason the calls se
BLAIR’S POV Seeing Jane behind bars had to be a dream come true, and what was crazier was that I didn’t think it was ever going to come true. Brian leading me there felt like a present being opened before the date of the reveal, maybe unwrapping Christmas gifts on Christmas eve. I had a hundred emotions surging through mt veins, but this time they were all positive emotions. This was the second-best thing to happen to me in a while, after the birth of my son, who I couldn’t wait to hold and kiss all over his face. Brian shared the story of how they had to lure her down to be arrested, posing to be buyers for the gold bars she was in possession of.Since it was Jane, they struggled to create a fake identity that actually sold, because she secretly ran background check on the client.Her fury was evident, as she did not expect to be played by Brian or anyone else. With Jane finally behind bars and with a date where she faces the law, I couldn’t be mad at Brian for not involving me
BLAIR’S POV Ashley saw Sebastine off to the airport and he gave her his vehicle, which she returned with. She could not stop talking about receiving a car from Sebastine as the first gift, less than twenty-four hours after their relationship started. Neither I, nor Ashley, could wipe the smiles off our faces, when we realized that Sebastine had shopped other gifts and had left them at the trunk of the car, There was a life-size teddy bear and a heart decorated seat cover, with a big heart at the top. “Each time you seat, remember that you buried this deeply in my heart.” A note accompanied the seat cover. Seeing Ashley happy was all that mattered to me and knowing that Sebastine was a sweet, gentleman, made it even more beautiful and comforting. Ashley spent the next two days raving about Sebastine and the other hours she was not talking about him, she was talking to him and their relationship, although long-distanced was catching on quite well and more quickly than I expected.
BLAIR’S POV At the court hearing, it wasn’t a long case for evidences to be established against her, in respect to stealing from the Queen and other situations. However, we had tendered on serious issue- the ownership of the company. Jane argued again and again that the company was handed to her. My father could barely talk, and since we didn’t want to stress him, he responded to none of the questions. “Your honor, I do not understand why Miss. Williams sounds like she finds my client unfit to run a company she worked hard for, a company she built.” Jane’s lawyer. “Liar!” I yelled. Jane had gotten the company’s recognition. “She manipulated him.” I yelled. “This is a law court, please maintain decorum, Miss. Williams,” the judge said. I apologized over and over again. “Miss. Williams, do you have any prove of manipulation?” the judge asked me. I handed my lawyer my father’s dairy and the judge chuckled. I could see him struggling to avoid laughing me to scorn. I was filled wit
BLAIR’S POV After that conversation with my father, I decided that he was right. Jane was probably not worth the fuss anyway. I wasn’t going to bother myself with whether or not she owned the company, I was going to start being more responsible for my life and decided to see the good around me, starting today. I was beaming with excitement and could not bring myself to remain calm. Today, three weeks after he left my body, I could finally hold my son. I was excitedly jumping and beaming from ear to ear and now that the wait for over, it just left even longer. “Hey,” Brian had been trying to pacify me, all morning, but I was like an ocean and could not be contained. I bought big blue balloons and stared at them the entire drive to the hospital.Ashley remained at home with my father, while Brian and I went to the hospital.There was an entire home-coming waiting for me and I just couldn’t wait for him to be able to recognize those he could regard as family. As soon as he was han
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
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
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
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
