BLAIR’S POV “Sebastine!” I was quite delighted to find him here.“Someone doesn’t seem very excited,” he said, “At least, not for a bride.” He added.I ran to him with a hug. Sebastine was the company I didn’t think I needed. “He wants her.” I cried. Sebastine first took Regal away from me and with one hand, pulled me into a tight hug. “He still wants her, Sebastine.” I lamented. “It is not enough that he had something to do with her, now he’s depressed that she…” My words were choking in my tears, and I wasn’t sure whether or not he understood, but he was dedicated to listening to me. “Shiiiii,” he said softly, asking me to keep quiet, “Take a deep breath,” he added. I took a deep breath and pacified my crying. Sebastine and I got to a bench and sat down, discussing every event. I continued ranting and ranting. “I know I made a mistake too,” I spoke in a high-pitched tone, “But at least I recognized that I made a mistake,” “I threw our friendship away after that night, jus
BLAIR’S POV Brian had taken me back to the room, where I was quietly sat on the bed. It was a miracle that he showed up when he did. Sebastine had immediately let go of me. The exchange of their gazes, for a few seconds, before we left, was quite terrifying. It was as though a war was going to break out between them. Thankfully, Brian remembered that Sebastine was now the owner of the resort and the entire security would come down heavy on him, if at all a strand of hair on Sebastine’s body was tempered with. “Are you just going to stand there in silence?” I queried Brian. “What do you want me to say?” he turned around, staring at me and questioned. “Not only did you succeed in discussing our family with a boy with evil intentions, you broke your sister too.” Brian said. I was boiling with rage. “Don’t you dare speak to me about bringing embarrassment and hurt to family, because you are the very reason all of this is happening.” I yelled at him. Regal was now crying and yell
BLAIR’S POV All I wanted to do was sit in a spot, with no activity at all, until I eventually joined my sister. I battled with guilt and pain that was too much for me to carry. It was all my fault. I sat recalling the words of the doctor. “She gave up on fighting.” He announced. Words could not explain how I felt. I wished that she spoke to me. I wished that I got to apologize. I was never going to forgive myself, or Sebastine for not going after her. Even though, I wished that I had done it myself. Ashley must have hated us so much, she did not want to be in the same environment. She left us and ran into the streets, headed only the universe knows where, only to be knocked down by a vehicle. The fact that she had no one with her in her last minutes, made cry even more. She must have felt lonely, unloved and rejected. I kept pleading for her forgiveness in death, even though my heart condemned me. I knew I was unworthy of her forgiveness. I was not deserving of the love she
BLAIR’S POV As my father requested, we prepared and drove to the police station, where Jane was. As soon as the officers saw us, they picked us and went to get Jane. “Oh, look who we have here,” Jane was of course, not delighted to see us. I took a deep breath, trying to deal with her presence. I was here for my father and since I wasn’t sure why he requested to be here, I was going to keep my already burning rage in check. “Father and his daughter, trying so hard to steal my company from me.” With her every word, it became more difficult to ignore her. I had given a lot of deliberateness to forgetting the fact that Jane had used her craftiness to steal the family company from us. I turned to my father, giving him a stare that sent the message of the need to put his wife on a leash. “We are not here to fight, Jane.” My father said. “Really?” she queried sarcastically. I raised my brow at her. “Well, that’s believable.” She said. “I mean, if you wanted to fight, you would hav
BLAIR’S POV I wasn’t sure how to feel with this recent development. Sebastine and Ashley was a mistake that should never have happened in the first place, and Ashley did not stay long enough to find out the truth. She died over a terrible mistake that shouldn’t even have been. For the next two weeks, my father and I were dedicated to healing from the hurt and chaos of the last couple of months. My father was further opened to the reality that Jane was not as sweet and he was devasted at the length she went to, just to cheat on him and steal the company from him to hand over to a child she had from being unfaithful. Collins and Stacy had returned to Winchester, because someone had to take care of the company. I was glad that we had all managed to move on from the rocky wedding week. Brian no longer stayed with my father and I, because I would not go anywhere with him, since we were not legally married and my father was not going to leave Ashley buried in the floor. Brian spent
BLAIR’S POV My heart had to deal with the weight of having to deal with Brian’s absence, if ever he decided to leave. Brian always stopping by was my highlight for every week. He was here for the child, or so he said, but I was a major benefactor of his visits and I wasn’t about to let all of that go, at least not just like that. After all these years and all the trials, to think that not for a second had I stopped caring about Brian was more than enough clue for me. Maybe it was about time to stop fighting destiny, but I wasn’t sure if Brian was going to forgive me again, just like that. We had made a promise to stand by each other, but I had broken the promise and was quick to turn my back on everything, after my sister’s death. I struggled with my thoughts, not realizing how much it was pushing me away from everyone else, including my father. I now existed in a world of my own and struggled with my thoughts, only squeezing out time to take care of my son. “Blair,” my father
BLAIR’S POV I took the envelop from him and went to get Jennice’s own envelop. Both Jennice and Sebastine brought the same message. I read through and had my hand over my mouth, overtaken by shock. “Dad?” I called in an inquisitive tone. My father took the documents from him and tears were streaming down his cheeks. “I was going to tell you,” he said, “But without evidence, I did not want to raise your hopes and I did not know if it would count for anything.” He said. “What?!” I yelled. “This could have changed the entire course of things.” I said. “Blair, please sit,” Sebastine said. I could not. I was on my feet and staring at my father in disbelief. I couldn’t help feeling betrayed. My entire life would have taken a different course if I had known this information before now, “Blair,” Sebastine called. “Blair, please,” my father said, “Listen to him,” It was a two against one war and I had no choice but to be sat. “I loved your mother so much,” my father began, “she m
BLAIR’S POV Before going to claim the company in court, I had to put my family together. They had worked very hard for this victory and the least that I could do was to give them the honor of watching me finally win, after everything they had to go through. I realized that I was never going to be glad if I did not have them by my side, and where is was best to start, except…“Brian? Can I come in?” I asked, standing in front of the door, with shaky hands. Brian’s silence was either coming from his surprise to see me, or his displeasure to do so, but either ways, he reluctantly opened the door, moving away a bit. I entered the house and looked around. Brian had just returned from Winchester, to the house he bought in the area, when he needed us to move out of my father’s house. I hadn’t been here since we returned and clearly, so much had changed already. Brian was giving so much work to the interior decoration, which came off as a bit of a surprise to me. As far as I knew, Br
