THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 182
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

BLAIR’S POV “No!” I yelled, running to his already drying body. Ronald was lying lifeless, right there on the floor in the living area. His body was rotting already. “Blair,” Brian called softly, while I was crying over his body, wondering what may have happened. I lifted my head and found in Brian’s hand a piece of paper. He handed it to me. “You may never forgive me for this, but I do not see a reason to live anymore,I would be lying to myself and being a burden to you, if I have to continued rolling with you all, tagging along,Jennifer was all of my life and no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to find another essence with her absence. I had always spoken of how much my life depended on her, but didn’t realize how literal it was, until I attempted to actually live without her. Blair,I do hope you find all the happiness in the world.You are a lovely person and you deserve to be happy. The world may not deserve it, but it would still count as pleasure to it, if they ge

BLAIR’S POV My numerous requests for them to leave me alone, did not matter to them. “Blair, we are your family, and no more!” Collins was pretty authoritative. “You aren’t just going to keep pushing us away at will. Not anymore, Blair.” Stacy chipped in. This seemed pre-planned to me. My father and Brian did not say a word, but clearly, they were equally in support. “You all don’t understand,” I said, breaking down. I had lost the strong, commanding tone and was just weeping now. “Can’t you see being around me is nothing but trouble?” I asked them. “I don’t want to be any more burden for any of you, so please, you all can leave already.” I said. “Blair,” Stacy called passionately, walking towards me. I had paused on the stair step I was, when I saw them and they were not very far from the base.“Go away!” I yelled. I tried to run, but Stacy grabbed me by the hand and pulled towards her, wrapping her arms around me very tightly. “Hey,” she said. I fell to the ground and

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

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 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 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

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
