Blair's POVI tried to open my eyes, but my head ached so much I sat up and managed to open them slowly and carefully.I scanned the room with my eyes; it was a private ward; Father, Dylan, and Stephen were sleeping on the couch. Thaila was sleeping on the other bed while Ace was sitting on the chair next to my bed, he held my hand tight and was resting his head on the bed.I gently pushed out a strand of hair from his face so I could admire the man by my side.“You are awake,” Ace lifted his head with a small smile on his face.I smiled at him, I nodded my head, I opened my mouth to reply but I didn't hear my voice.I tried again, but nothing; why can't I speak? What's going on?“Blair, what's going on?” Ace asked with concern written all over his face. I hit my chest and tried to speak, but nothing, I was forcing it, but nothing. The anger and frustration made me use my hand to push the flower vase to the floor. It broke and made everyone wake up.“Blair, calm down, I will get the

A Christmas Romance/Official Dee

Blair's POVIt felt so unreal watching the coffin being laid to rest. It's strange how fast the night could change and January first forever changed my life. This was the reality check that was needed and nothing else.It's been a few days, and I still couldn't speak; everyone was in black, and they had a napkin or cloth in their hand to wipe their tears while I had nothing, and my eyes were void of tears.Ace touched my hand. I looked at him, and he pointed at my phone; I opened my phone to see his text, “Are you okay?” I nodded my head with a smile on my face.Ace has been such a sweetheart; for the past few days, he hasn't said a single word to me or anyone; he had been communicating with his phone, and this was the first time I was coming out of my room, so no one has been able to suspect anything.I wiped the lone tears that rolled down my eyes as I poured sand on the grave. My legs gave up on me and I sat on the floor. I didn't think I would cry, but I saw myself crying like a b

A Christmas Romance/Official Dee

Blair's POVMy eyes darted between Ace and Ziora, does he know how? She sure knows him.“Blair needs a lot of rest; I should take her to her room,” Ace held my hand, but Ziora held his.“I asked what was going on,” Ziora repeated sternly.“Ziora, let go of my hand this instant,” Ace's tone hardened. I have never heard him talk like this.Ziora looked at me with anger, but she removed her hand and turned to me, “Is he the new guy you posted on your social media?”My eyes fell on Ace, who seemed uninterested in staying around Ziora. They sure did know each other.“I take your silence as yes,” Ziora said; I was going to answer, but I got distracted; I really hoped she wouldn't take it the wrong way, “You bastard.”“I will talk to you later,” Ace glared at Ziora, “For now, I want to take her to her room.”Did I make a mistake? I hope I wasn't wrong about Ace. I removed his hand from mine, brought out my phone, and texted him, “Handle your business; I will be inside.”“I promise, it's not

A Christmas Romance/Official Dee

Blair's POV“To what do we owe this visit Mr Kendrick?” Dad shaked the lawyer and led him up to the living room upstairs. My dad's children, Grandma, Grandma, Ace, and I followed upstairs. We all sat down and waited for the lawyer to say something. He expressed his grief, then brought out a file and handed it to Dad, “This was the cause of her death. I was on the phone with her when she had a cardiac arrest, but I couldn't do anything.”Dad read through it and it looked like he didn't understand a thing, “I don't understand what this is about.”“It's a business deal she signed with a construction company, they suddenly backed out because one of the king's companies offered them a bigger deal, leaving Mrs. CeCe's company in big debt,” the lawyer let out a breath, “It came as a shock when she found out one of the sub-company was going to sue her and she could lose everything.”“Why didn't you talk to someone else? You are her lawyer but I am also sure you knew her heart was fragile,”
