BLAIR
I knew something was wrong when mum said I should meet her in dad’s office.
I didn’t know what and no matter how much I racked through my brain, I couldn’t think of anything.
I asked Eliane if she had a clue, but she said no. That she hadn’t spoken to either of them since she got to the house. Pushing my worries aside, I headed to the office.
The party is about to get started and some guests have already started arriving. A few of the people from my mum’s club waved when they saw me, some stopped to congratulate me.
I saw how their eyes mostly strayed to my bare fing
LUCIANDid I expect Blair to react the way she did when I presented the prenup papers? Yes, I expected that.That wasn’t what I had been worried about though.I know she knows it would be stupid on both our sides to get married without a prenup. Especially when we don’t really have an idea what the fuck we’re doing.Is the marriage going to be real? Yes. Legally at least. But apart from that, we have no idea what the hell is going to happen.And if she’d read the goddamn paper, she would see the last thing I focused on was money or property. I’m more interested in what would happen to the child she is carrying, if by any chance we separate.I need my heir, and I’m ke
BLAIRI don’t know how Lucian convinced me to read the prenup. But after I read through it, I realized he has more to lose than anyone if we were to separate.I could contest for many things in court, he didn’t care about properties and monetary benefits. He only wanted the child in the case of divorce.Full custody.I told him no. Without blinking an eye. My response was no.He sighed, but he didn’t argue. Right there on the balcony, he called his lawyer and had them draw up another contract.I didn’t know what the urgency was for, but I guessed he wanted everything to be settled before he left tonight.I spoke with dad and he too c
BLAIRThe party was in full swing when we finally went down. Lucian met with me halfway and we socialized with the guests. Most of them were people I’ve known all my life so I only introduced them to Lucian.He was actually polite when he wanted to be.I had a feeling even if he was being an asshole to them, they would still kiss his ass. There was something about him that automatically made people want to give him what he wanted.I had a little panic attack when the time to toast came. I couldn’t not drink in front of so many people.Coming up with a plan to keep the drink in my mouth and then find somewhere to spit it didn’t sound solid enough for me. I even asked myself if just one drop of alcohol was going to be all that dang
LUCIANI picture Blair’s calm expression. The way she’d looked when she was speaking with her old schoolmate. It wasn’t her real smile or anything but it was vastly different from what I’m seeing now.There is no mistake about them not being friends if their interaction is anything to go by.I’d heard part of their conversation. So it wasn’t really hard to note.“You look like you’re about to deliver some type of bad news.” She spoke when I didn’t say anything.When I’d dragged her here, I had everything I wanted to say on the forefront of my mind. Watching her like this, the words have disappeared from my head and I’m left watching her like some gaping idiot.
BLAIRI was feeling pretty murderous.Lucian knew what the fuck he was doing. The backstabbing asshole.I wasn’t as upset with him as I was with myself. I was the one who fell for his stupid charms and smile. I believed his word, after he betrayed me the first time.He used the fact that I wanted him—purely sexual—to his advantage and he got what he wanted.Because after I left him in the drawing room, I went straight to dad and told him what happened. He hadn’t known either and he was fucking upset. Though he tried to downplay it so I wouldn’t be worried.“I’ll fix this.” He reassured me. “Just go back to the party and put a smile on your face. For
BLAIRI loved traveling, visiting new places and seeing diverse cultures.Summer vacations after I started college were home time, after being away.But when I was in high school and before that. Dad made sure we visited at least three countries before the end of summer. Those were the best times of my life.All my friends knew the way to my heart was mostly resort tickets.But now, I wasn’t excited about seeing where Lucian was from. I didn’t even want to look at him or think about that.He left last night, I didn’t say a word to him. I didn’t even look at him. When he spoke with dad, I pretended I wasn&rsquo
LUCIANBlair refused to speak to me the entire morning.Owen kept giving me knowing looks from the other end of the room.Her entire family, their workers and even my best friend seemed to be against me. I would have apologized if I knew it was going to help. It wouldn’t. So I didn’t bother.The officiant wed us and the entire process wasn’t up to five minutes.It was ironic, how something so big could happen in such little time.The man had looked unsure when he asked me to kiss the bride. I wouldn’t blame him, seeing as she looked like she was going to murder me the entire time we were standing
BLAIR I planned on ignoring Lucian and his friend for the entire flight. The other guy did nothing to me but him being friends with Lucian made him get on my backlist. I made sure to sit as far away from both of them as I could on the jet. I have never been this annoyed to fly private in my entire life. Usually I loved it. That counts only when I’m not on it with my worst enemy and his friend. When the plane took off, I settled more into the soft chair of the jet, ready to force myself to sleep. That would help me ignore the two men with me. And when we arrive at God knows where, I’ll find another way to keep myself busy. It shouldn’t be hard with my phone and an internet connection. Just when I was ready to slip into dreamland, I heard someone get into the chair bedside. Heard, because my eyes were closed. I planned on fully ignoring whoever it was. But they clearly didn’t get the memo. “Hi, I know you hate me too but I just want to let you know that I’m not Lucian.” I poppe
