Blair's POV “You keep slacking behind!” My boss raised his voice at me as he used the document in his hand to hit my head continuously. “I'm sorry sir,” I apologize with my gaze lowered, not daring to meet him. I wish my eyes could kill, so my eyes would kill him now. “Sorry, sorry?” He laughed and threw the documents on the floor, “Are you doing this because your grandfather is the minister of aviation? Or your Grandma is a CEO? Or your rich family?” I ignored his questions and bent down to pick up the file. My boss was annoying as fuck, I don't know what his deal was, it felt like he bullied me for fun. “Sir, I'm returning home for Christmas, the minister of aviation wants me home, so I will be reporting from there,” I said in a low tone, hoping he got the message. My boss glared at me, “Get out, I don't care what you do.” I dropped the documents on the table and left his office. He hated me because I got this job through connection and I was able to keep it. “Are

Blair's POV “Blair, are you okay?” Clover hurriedly hugged me and I shook my head at her, “What happened?” she looked at me then looked at the door, “Where is Zade?” “Clover, I'm not okay Za…De.. ended every…thing…he…. didn't…give ... .me…any…ring…he.. broke…up…with…me,” I cried in Clover’s arms. Clover rubbed my hair gently and whispered comforting words into my ears, I couldn't understand where I had gone wrong, I had done everything right since I became an adult, so why did he end it? “I ..didn't …. do …anything …wrong, I…don't ....know ...why….he…ended…it..,” I sobbed louder as my heart began to feel numb. Clover excused herself from the living room and came back with a glass of water. I drank it and soon began to feel dizzy. Before I could ask about what was in the water, my eyelids began to feel heavy and I found myself falling into sleep mode. I opened my eyes to a pounding headache, when I remembered what happened yesterday, I jumped down from my bed and bolted to

Blair's POV I kept reminding myself I was doing it to get back at Zade for cheating and so my family wouldn't use the holiday to feel sorry for me and lastly for the plot. For the past few hours, I have been declining profiles and emails. I didn't like any of them and some looked weird, like they would rob or kill me. I needed someone to fit the perfect boyfriend. “I think you should go check this one out,” Clover said and I stared at his picture on the screen. He didn't look bad, he was handsome but I was older than him. We had been at it for six hours and finally found someone that was okay. “He looks good, he fits but what if he is a weirdo?” I voiced my concern to Clover. “Get ready, let's go together and figure it out,” Clover said and shut her laptop. We didn't have time, we had decided if we saw someone, we would set up a physical meeting immediately. I went to my room, freshened up, put on something comfy, and went back to the living room. We picked a cafe, convenient

Ace's POV “How long do you plan on staying here and living this lie?” My best friend and support system, Zion asked. “Zion not now, I'm very tired and would like to rest,” I brushed him off. “You need to make up your mind before January and return home, your family is worried,” Zion sat on the couch inside my room. “Are they really worried or do you just need space from me?” I raised my eyebrows playfully. “Ace, you know it isn't…” “Sir, Sir,” The cleaning lady entered my room without knocking, “You should come see this.” Without thinking twice, Zion and I ran downstairs to see my girlfriend Ziora coming out of my car drunk and the condition of my car was in a terrible state. I balled my hand into a tight fist, I just couldn't stand it anymore, “What happened?” I gritted and glared at her. I just got the car two days ago after she destroyed the former one with a fire extinguisher on purpose. Ziora walked zigzag till she fell on me, “My prince,” she giggled and she

Blair's POVI lazily opened the door and Clover jumped off the couch, “You weren't answering your phone, where were you?” Clover showed me her phone and I saw hundreds of missed calls.“I accidentally dropped my phone,” I closed the door behind me and entered the house.“Thank goodness, I thought you had done the unthinkable,” Clover placed her hand on her chest and let out a deep breath, “What are all these?” She took the bag from my hand to check the content, “You didn't take your card.”“Someone got it for me,” I sat on the couch, brought out alcohol from the bag, and drank it, “That was refreshing.”“Who?” A curious Clover sat next to me.“Some strange man, the man was fine and tall as fuck,” I explained everything to her.“So we will have to wait for an answer,” Clover said and I nodded my head, “Do you believe in fate?”What kind of question was Clover asking? “No, I don't believe in such things.”“The man we were supposed to meet for you couldn't come because his cat got into a

Blair's POV“Maam, we have arrived,” I opened my eyes to the sound of Clover and the driver's voice.I didn't sleep through the whole journey, I watched movies, I watched Tiktok and I looked at the houses as we drove by.I removed my eye mask to see we had arrived at Clover's house, “Don't carry my things with yours,” my sleepy ass said.“I should so you will come to my house sooner,” Clover said playfully as she brought her things down the van.“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes playfully, “I will come to see you once I'm settled in,” I screamed and waved at her as the driver began driving.The town really had the smell of Christmas, each house was well decorated with their families around and the smell of baking filled everything.We arrived at my house in less than ten minutes, me and Ace got out of the car and brought our things along. “Let me do all the talking,” I said to Ace before I knocked on the door. “Aunty Blair!” My little niece opened the door and ran to hug me.“How is my l

Blair's POV“What is the matter? I just arrived and was outside for a moment, I expected a good welcome but y'all are raising your voices and insulting my fiancé,” Kayla, my cousin, said with a smile on her face.“Kayla?” I was surprised to see her pregnant. The last time I checked, she didn't have a boyfriend.“Babe, what took you long?” Zade asked Kayla with a smile on his face and Kayla leaned in to kiss his lips.What? What was this? What just happened? Was I tripping or what?“What's…. going…on..?” My eyes darted between Zade and Kayla. I hoped I was dreaming.“Hmmm, as we already know, this is Zade, he is my fiance,” She showed us the ring on her finger, “And the Father of our baby,” she pointed at her tummy with so much happiness on her face and Zade flashed her a smile.“You..your….wh…what?” I didn't understand what was going on.“Kayla!!” Thaila shouted, “What madness is this?!!”“What do you mean?” Kayla pouted and asked the most useless question ever.“What?” One of my seni

Blair's POVI had told Ace not to bring up the matter and he was strictly here to pretend to be my boyfriend and not to interfere in my personal affairs.I had excused myself from the room and came to Thaila's room so Ace wouldn't ask anything.“The way he protected you was so manly,” Thaila praised, “So where did you meet this gentleman?”Ever since I stepped into Thaila's room, she hasn't stopped gushing over Ace. I had never lied to her and even now, I don't plan on lying to her.I avoided looking at her eyes and said, “On the street.”“On the street?” Thalia asked as if she hadn't heard me earlier.“I met him on the street one random night,” A small smile stretched on my face as the event of that night played in my head.“The streets, fair enough, I didn't know you randomly meet those kinds of guys on the street,” Thaila smiled mischievously, “So how long have you both been together? How long have you known each other?”The question I have been treading was finally asked, I didn'

Blair's POV“I will wash up first,” I picked up my nightwear and towel and entered the bathroom.“Okay,” I heard him say before I entered the bathroom.The dinner was quite a silent, awkward, and eventful one. Everyone was trying not to make a mistake in front of I and Kayla. I acted like I didn't care but deep down, it was eating me up, I wanted to know why he did that.I tried to remove everything from my mind, I needed to act strong like it didn't affect me. I finished having my bath and went to the room.I met Ace sleeping on the couch with his glasses still on his eyes. I felt guilty about the way Ace folded his body on the small couch, tomorrow I will tell him to sleep on the bed while I take the couch.I removed his glasses and noticed how handsome he was without them, he had well-defined features. Maybe if we had met under a different circumstance, I would have introduced him to one of my sisters and made Grandpa or Father set him up with a good business. After I finished adm

Blair's POVI spent days thinking of the word Ace made that morning, Who really was he? I hope I didn't make a mistake.“Blair,” I looked at my cousin whose voice brought me out of my own world and she seemed pissed for some reason.“What?” I asked innocently, I wondered when she arrived here.“What? I have been calling you for the past thirty minutes,” She said, I looked down at my phone and saw multiple missed calls.“I'm sorry,” I apologized.“What else is on the list?” She said, clearly irritated, I was about to give her the list when she dragged it off my hand and walked away.Today was Christmas Eve, and we were shopping to decorate the house, we normally do it before time but today it was late, and not the whole family was around.I rested my head on my legs as my hand found its way to my tummy, it had been hurting a lot, “We need to talk,” I raised my head when I heard Zade's voice.“Talk about what?” I managed to say.“About that bastard that you brought home,” Zade said and
