THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 10
BLAIR'S POV CONTINUES All day, Ashley and I would hunt scrap wristwatches and clocks, and sneak back into the garage at sundown. This routine had gone on for a week, and although I was getting quite used to the early mornings and hunting routine, I couldn't deny how exhausting it was. I admired Ashley’s strength and couldn't believe that a girl as young as she was, was out here trying to put her life together in this manner. It was another day of scrap hunting for us, and thanks to Ashley, I was getting used to the streets of Vegas.I didn't have to worry about getting lost, or a random stranger finding me and returning me to my father's mansion. That was my greatest fear. If I was ever returned to father, there was no telling what he would do to me this time. Moreso, with Brian's absence at the mansion, I might need another toothbrush to scrub the walls, before mother lets me out of her sight. “You can go in that direction, I'd go this way,” Ashley said, as soon as we got to a

BRIAN'S POV THREE YEARS AGOI paced in my office angrily.“This is the third time!” I yelled at the top of my voice, smashing my phone on the ground. “Third time! And they can't pin all of this to anyone? No one at all?” I was agitated. “Calm down Brian” Steve said.“Calm down, you say?” I sat at my desk, “I am being hunted down like an animal, Steve,” I said, “it's from one ambush to another, and merely lucky to still have my life, but for how long?” I said, “huh?” I hit my fist on the desk. “Burning down my warehouse at the exact time I was to be there?” I scoffed. “This is more than sheer coincidence, Steve, and I'm not having it,” Steve only watched me, as I ranted and expressed my anger. “If the law doesn't take its course in three days, I'd obviously have to take the laws into my hands,” I sounded a threat. “Until now, there is no evidence to apprehend anyone,” Steve said, “you have a lot of enemies and rivals, Brian, and for all we know, anyone could be behind this,” he

BLAIR'S POV “There, you have the truth!” he said. “I had to leave town and come here as a different person,” he further explained, “until the police trace the attempts on my life to someone, I can neither return nor use any of those I.D you saw,” I took a deep breath, marveled at his story.‘Who would have thought?’I had always thought Brian had a weird dress sense. He always dressed to work like some spy. Everyday, he would arrive at Father's mansion in black leather clothings, dark shades and hats he'd change everyday. “But it's been three years,” I said, “there's no there's still a threat on your life back at Winchester,” I added.“Steven thinks so too,” he replied, “but if there still is, I can't find out in person,” he replied. “I took some measures to check if the town is safe for me to return to.” He said. “How's that?” I asked. I had barely dropped my statement, when his phone rang. It was a call from Steven. We stared at each other briefly, before he proceeded to an

BLAIR’S POV CONTINUES The police searched every nook and cranny of the house, and my only prayer, like Brian, was that they didn't trigger the button that brought out his hidden files. I could only imagine how disastrous that would have been, and I was unready to witness such chaos. Despite their inability to find any thousand dollars in the house, or in Brian's possession, they insisted he followed to the police station, which he did. I only had tears flowing down my cheeks in endless streams, as they took him away. “Whatever happens, do not leave the house,” Brian said, following the police like he was being led to the slaughter. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I didn't at all believe the story of Brian taking my mother's one thousand dollars. I impatiently paced the house, from end to end, crying and drowning myself in thoughts, for hours, and Brian had not returned yet. I so badly wanted to obey his instructions, but I could no longer hold myself together I quickly l

BLAIR'S POV CONTINUES“Where are we going?” I questioned, as pulled me out of the apartment. Outside the apartment was black Bentley flying spur. Brian hurriedly flew into the driver's seat.I stood at the door, staring at the vehicle and what luxury it spoke, with its shinny color.“Common, we don't have time,” he opened the door from his end, yelling at me. “How were you able to afford this?” I queried, “who's vehicle is this?” I threw more questions.“Common, Blair,” Brian's voice showed his exasperation.I didn't have the time to throw more questions, as we began to hear rapid gunshots in our direction. I bent my head, hurrying into the vehicle, shivering from the tip of my hair to those of my feet. Brian drove off at almost two hundred kilometers per hour, and it wasn't long before two vehicles were behind us in a chase, shooting bullets at us. “Shit!” Brian exclaimed, hitting the steering wheel. I sat in fear, without any words, thinking over and over about the near death

BLAIR'S POV CONTINUES Brian hitting me up with the ‘We’re going to Turkey’ line had to be the craziest thing I had heard in all my life. Steven took a deep breath, walking out of the room, dialing a number as he walked past. “Brian, this has to stop,” I said defensively, “It has to stop and it has to stop now,” I said.Brain turned away from me, staring out the window. “You don't expect me to hop on a flight with you, as a completely different person, to cover your…” I was still ranting, when Brian just walked past me, taking a seat at the distal end of the bed. “Brian,” I called, following behind him. “Now's not the time, Blair,” he said, in a bid to shut me out. “There's never a time,” I said, “you have to…” Brian abruptly leaned in, pressing his lips against mine, shutting me up. My heart skipped a beat. I was beaming with joy. He caught me by surprise, a rather pleasant surprise. We remained lip-locked for a few minutes, and the room was thereafter enveloped by a thick

BRIAN'S POV I quickly pressed Blair to the floor, instructing her to lay down quietly.Luckily, the lights were turned off, and I couldn't in that moment, love Blair more than I did.I had insisted to keep the lights on, since we still waited for dinner. This had to be the longest night of our lives, and I couldn't help feel sympathy for Blair.This was not at all the life I envisioned for her, or myself. I had enjoyed peace this three years and I hadn't expected the life I so energetically ran from to catch up with me, almost the very minute she walks into my life. I pulled out a gun, heading downstairs to join Steven. “Great, I see you have things under control,” I said, as he shot the last man in the head upon my arrival. “Yes, but there's more of them, we have to go,” he said, running into the apartment. We hurriedly got Blair and headed for the vehicle. We were all in our seats, I in the driver's seat and Blair at the back. Luckily, Stephen got some food before the men ca

BRIAN'S POV CONTINUESI answered the phone, putting it on speaker phone and I remained as quiet as the grave. We didn't hear a word from the other end either, and it continued for two minutes into the call. I was just about to hang up, when we began to hear very weak, struggling breaths from Steven's end. “Steven,” Blaire called.I immediately hung up.“What did you do that for?” she queried, wearing a confused look. “He might be in captivity,” I replied, throwing the device on the bed, and immediately getting out, walking towards the glass wall.“Or he might be lying somewhere, fighting for his life and too weak to talk,” Blair countered. I was deep in thought and wasn't sure what my next move should be. ‘She did have a point though,’ I thought. Steven and I had codes we lived by. They were a set of rules we properly discussed in times of danger, ever since we were young boys in our early teens. Our rules got reviewed and upgraded as we grew older, but we hadn't discussed any

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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 190
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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 188
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
THE WIFE OF A DISGUISED BILLIONAIRE 187
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
