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
BRIAN’S POV All of my pleading for her to stay fell on deaf ears, including my request for her to marry me. I wasn’t sure what my offense was, but whatever it was, wasn’t something that Blair could let go of, especially considering how much of a hurry she was in to leave. I held her hand and had tears in my eyes, but when we both saw how strong-willed she was about leaving, I let her go. Not for a single day did I stop loving her, in all the while of her absence. Her absence only made my heart desire her more, even though I initially wanted to be angry at her for humiliating me and running away. Steven remained in the mansion with me and ran the companies mostly from home. He had moved out because of Stacy and now our lives were gradually taking back its shape. As for Stacy and Collins, they seemed to have disappeared into thin air, because they were nowhere to be found, within the city and there was also no record of them leaving the city. I genuinely didn’t care so much abo
BRIAN’S POV I placed a few calls and flew over to Maldives in a private plan and arrived at the perfect hour. Sebastine ran the hotel’s, full time now, so I wore a disguise and snuck him out, making a U-turn with Sebastine to Vegas. Sebastine filled me up on everything he knew, while on the trip, and I took the entire trip, boiling in anger. I hoped that for Jane’s sake, she had not laid a single finger on Blair. I was going to have the her stripped of everything, including her life, if I arrived Vegas and found that as much as a strand of hair was missing, off her body. All through the trip, I was impatient and this felt like the slowest I arrived Vegas, from anywhere in the world. As soon as we arrived, we went straight to Mr. Williams’ residence. We arrived a few hours to midnight, and at the gate, we met Ashley, about to walk in. “Ashley!” I called out to her in a loud voice. She hurriedly turned around looking scared, but heaved a sigh of relief when she realized it was
BLAIR’S POV I was too ashamed to admit not having any money and when I walked out of the building, I began a two-hour walk from Winchester to Vegas. What was supposed to be a two-hour drive, ended up an entire day’s walk. When I finally arrived at Vegas, my legs were swollen and I was shivering. I was sick when I arrived, after missing my rescheduled flight. I arrived and laid on the sofa, without as much as food to eat. My temperature was hitting the top and my swollen feet grew heavier by the minute. All through the night, I struggled with fever and threw up all night. Early the next morning, I was still struggling, when I heard aggressive knocking on the door. I peeped through the window and because I did not recognize the men, who were both armed and masked, I went to hide in the kitchen.The men finally broke their way in and began to scatter everything, and I had no idea what they were looking for. I was very terrified and decided to hide myself in the cupboard in the
BLAIR’S POV I slowly opened my eyes and found that I was in a moving vehicle. There was no form of light whatsoever, so I assumed it was a moving truck. The speed and smoothness of the road scared me and I wasn’t sure where we might be headed. I rushed over to the door of the truck and started struggling to burst out. I tried as much as possible to be as quiet I could, because I didn’t want to get caught. The journey was quite a long one and it took me about twenty minutes to burst my way out. I was terrified, but had to take the bold step of jumping out of the moving vehicle. I landed on my knees and got injured on both my arms and legs. I laid still, so that the men could not see me through the side mirrors. When they were a good distance away from me, I crawled till I could finally pick myself up and started walking backwards. I had no idea where I was, or where the path led to. It was only a path in the middle of forest trees and there didn’t seem to be any residence a
BLAIR’S POV Brian insisted that I had to be away from Jane, so she would be unable to find me, if ever she wanted to go dirty with her plans. We were lodged in a luxurious hotel and the men were soon surrounding my bed. Steven had driven into town to provide a functional vehicle, since Brian showed up without one.Brian ordered me a large breakfast and while I ate, they discussed the elaborate plan to bring Jane to reveal more evidence of the things she had going on. “Guys, I do not care what she has going on, she killed somebody,” I emphasized,“She should be charged for that, right?” I queried. “I am a witness,” I added, “Yea, right,” Brian replied with an eye roll. “Because the police would just trap Jane down for a witness testimony on murder?” he asked,“Besides, didn’t that count as credit to her record?” Sebastine asked. “Yea,” Steven said, “Kieran was a terrible criminal and according to the record, Jane already recorded the murder and she did get credit for that,”“
