BLAIR’S POV

“This can’t be!” Sebastine paced the living room.

I had to take a seat. This was too much for me to take.

His father remained seated and didn’t say another word for the next few minutes.

Sebastine on the other hand would not stop ranting and no one said a word. No one could tell him how to feel.

After about twenty minutes, his father finally got him to seat and shared the actual story to us both.

“My wife couldn’t bear any children after years of marriage,” he began,

“After years of trying and several medications for her, with little or no progress recorded, she sunk deep into depression and went further into depression with every passing day,”

He sighed.

“I grew more and more weary, seeing her lose her joy and very essence, especially since she knew that she was the reason why we couldn’t have children,”

“One day, her friend came by,”

“Or at least, she wanted to call her that,” he said.

“Jane was a classmate of hers from high school,”

“She had been really pisse

    BLAIR'S POV Sebastine’s father and I were locked in each other's eyes for a while, after which we both turned towards Sebastine. In no distant time, we heard his vehicle drive out of the compound, in a rather disturbing speed. I walked slowly to the room and went to lie down in bed quietly. Sebastine was my very motivation to fight back, legally. He encouraged me and told me that it didn’t matter if I didn’t have any evidences of her crimes from the past, we were now going to hold her for murdering Kieran, but now, the entire situation had become so complicated. ‘What were the chances that Sebastine would help me wage war against his own birth mother?’The situation was worse, given that his father’s influence, which could have been very instrumental, was now being trapped by an agreement they both signed, never to see each other again. Well, my dilemma didn’t get any better as the day went by. Sebastine had not returned home and it was becoming quite scary. His father paid v

    BLAIR’S POV My journey had just started, but the did with the pain of being ignored in my heart. Just before I left, I knocked severally on Sebastine’s door, but he didn’t respond. I just wanted to thank him for his help and hospitability, and at least say goodbye, but clearly, Sebastine no longer cared. There was no denying that I was in big trouble, when I got to Vegas. I knew that Jane didn’t care about whereabouts, but if my father had returned and as much as asked questions, there was no assurance that Jane would have anything good to say about me. Actually, my bet was on the negative side, she would have a ton of upsetting things to say, just to trigger my father into hating me. Even after knowing the truth, I couldn’t stop calling Mr. Williams my father. There was no doubt that he was hurt, but that did not conceal the love he had for my mother. Even though he knew that I wasn’t his, he chose to keep me, so he could always see the woman he loved, with everything that h

    BLAIR’S POV As it turned out, Collins was Stacy’s cousin, who flew in to spend a few weeks with them. He arrived Winchester before the storm, but waited to clear his vehicle and luckily, found me. When I realized this, I remained in the room I had been placed in and didn’t as much as move to the door, since I was scared of running into Brian. Stacy did not act like she was familiar with me, in the presence of Collins, and as far as Collins knew, I was the lady he helped, and his sister was gracious enough to host. The storm was still quite heavy and I seized that as an opportunity to tell Collins I couldn’t get out of bed, as I was still feeling weak from the storm I was a victim of. Collins served all my meals for the day in my room and luckily, Brian did not come up to my room, so, I succeeded in spending the day without seeing Brian, even though we were now in the same house. Stacy did not also bother to come up to my room, seeing that I was now conscious. “Good morning, Bl

    BLAIR’S POV Sitting through the planning of colors and cake flavors of Stacy and Brian’s wedding, I couldn’t help think back, over and over on the day I walked out on having a real forever, with the only man I had truly come to love. I struggled to sit through, but had to keep acting happy for them both. Brian barely contributed and since Stacy wanted a loud wedding, the planning and selection of the things she wanted took our entire day. The planners had to join us for lunch and even dinner. Luckily, by the time the glorious day was done being planned, the rain had greatly reduced and it made their leaving, a lot easier. As soon as the door was locked behind them, I said goodnight to everyone and ran right up to my room, to nurse my broken heart. ‘Was I being punished for leaving?’‘Why did I return to Winchester, only to watch Brian get married to the woman that ruined our lives?’At this point, I wanted nothing more than to leave. It didn’t matter to me, if I had to walk in

    BLAIR’S POV All through the drive home, I was greatly disturbed. Stacy was getting married in a week and any one would say she was getting married to the love of her life. Not everyone got to share the beautiful story of getting married to your high school or college sweetheart. Considering that their relationship, years ago, ended because she cheated, I thought she would do better than cheat on Brian again. If I didn’t know any better, I would say she probably had to, because Brian was bad in bed, or paid little attention to her, but that was not the case. In the few nights I had stayed, I would hear her moan, a little loudly and scream his name. This was the major reason I wanted to leave, as it was hard for me to imagine the first and only man who had me, deeply buried in another woman. ‘Why would she choose to hurt Brian like this again?’‘What if he found out?’‘Was I supposed to tell him?’I had conflicting thoughts. I didn’t want to be the one to break his heart again, a

    BLAIR’S POV Early the next morning, I got out of bed and freshened up, hurrying downstairs. This was unlike me, who was never eager about leaving my room. I had spoken time and again about leaving the house, but Stacy insisted that I stayed for the wedding, and now, I was glad that I stayed. I was so positive that this was the reason why fate had designed for me to stay. I could finally uncover all her lying and deceit. Brian deserved a lot better. Breakfast table was already set, although no one was out to eat yet. I wasn’t sure what was wrong with Stacy and Collins, but I peeped outside to see Brian’s car just driving in. It was evident he hadn’t returned home, last night. Brian walked in and he looked quite tired. His shirt was wrongly buttoned and he looked quite shabby. It was the first time I was going to see Brian in such tattered manner. He staggered into the house and I hurried to get him. “Drunkenness?” I said, under my breath. “It’s all her fault,”

    BLAIR’S POVStacy pulled my hair and Collins trying to pull her away from me only made it worse. “That’s enough!” Brian got out of bed and yelled.It surprised me to find Stacy completely smitten by Brian’s order. She had tears flowing down her cheeks and I was irritated by the hypocrisy. “How could you do this, Brian?” she cried bitterly, “Our wedding is in less than a week,”“Less than a week, Brian,” she yelled. Collins held her by the arms, while she threw her tantrums. Brian was quiet and feeling very bad and the entire drama was filling me with anger and disgust. “Why would you choose to betray me like this, Brian?” Stacy continued in tears, “To betray the love, I have for you? After all the sacrifices,”“Am I not enough, Brian?” She queried. “Isn’t Brian more than enough for you too, Stacy?” I had had enough and responded to her fake tears. Brian was surprised to see me responding to her since I had always been a shy girl and mostly was afraid of Stacy.Stacy and Coll

    BLAIR’S POV I followed Brian to his room and he sat on the bed, thinking about every single word that had been said. Clearly, this was a hard pill for him to swallow, but at least now he knew the truth. I sat on the bed beside him and joined him to stare into blank space. We sat in silence for a while and I started to feel really terrible. I had no idea that Brian had genuinely come to love Stacy and that the information was going to crumble him this much. Yes, I was trying to save him from making a big mistake, but I couldn’t lie to myself enough to deny that my first push was jealousy. After minutes of silence, I decided to push myself to speak up. “I am so sorry, Brian,” I said, “Why?” he immediately responded. “I should be sorry,” he said, “I wasn’t the one who got humiliated and displayed naked. You were.”To that point, I had to bow my head. All I had on was a robe, which I managed to pick, after Brian yelled at Stacy to let me go. “Steven was right,” Brian said, mov

    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

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
