The next day, Blair prepared to go to the doctor's office for her pregnancy test and check up.Dylan had already left for work early that morning, leaving Blair alone in bed."Donna, I'll be going for my medications and my checkup. I'll be back later." She informed Donna as she passed through the kitchen."Alright, be careful and take care.""Sure, bye." Blair took her car key from the drawer where they kept the car keys.Blair had not driven since forever and she kind of missed it because she could do things herself when she drove around.When she got to the hospital, she bumped into Tamara."Blair!' Tamara screamed."Tamara." Blair grinned.They hugged each other."What are you doing here?" Tamara asked."Oh, I came for a check up and to collect some medications. How about you?" Blair asked her."I came to collect the kids' prescription, they are kind of down with some weird infection that they caught in school." Tamara answered."Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about that. Are they ge
Blair and Tamara planned Dylan's surprise party for days, it helped take her mind off the fact that she was pregnant. She kept it a secret and did not tell anyone about it. Dylan's birthday was in two days and she was almost ready for it, the oy thing that bothered her was the news of her pregnancy.Blair spoke to her doctor already and she begged her not to tell anyone about it yet.She was arranging her closet when her phone rang, it was her mom. She picked the call and put it on speaker."Hello? Mom?" She called."Hello, my dear. How are you? I am really sorry that I haven't called you. I saw the news about Samantha." Her mom said."I'm fine, mom. How are you? Samantha used us, mom." Blair told her."I'm very well, Blair. Why don't we have dinner tomorrow? We can talk better, I hope you are okay? I know how close you two were.""Yeah, sure mom. I'll let Dylan know and I'm fine mom." Blair said.She arranged the last of her clothes and moved to Dylan's side of the room."Alright, I
Blair told her mom everything that happened with Samantha, from the day she found the false pictures to the day Samantha was arrested.Her mom listened to her attentively."So that's it, mom." Blair finished. Her eyes shone as she spoke, but there was nothing more she could say."Wow, to think that I treated her like my daughter. I even let her sleep in this house several times. I'm so shocked and I'm glad that she didn't hurt you and Dylan physically." Her mom responded in amazement."Yes mom, I can't really explain how I felt when I found out that she was behind everything. She never thought of me as her friend and it made me so sad, mom. But I guess everyone meets one or two fake people, right?" She laughed as she sipped her wine."I'm really sorry, Blair. I didn't know that you were going through all of us. I wish you told us, we would have found a way to help you. I'm sorry my dear, I'm sorry that you lost a friend." Her mother felt bad for what happened to Blair.She blamed hers
PROLOGUE Blair would never understand people. She would never understand why people fed lies of love when they knew there were starved souls on the street. Why people made promises they knew they could never keep. Why they raised up your hopes even when they knew it was impossible. How they could look you in the eyes, say they love you and break your heart the next minute. "I can't do it anymore Blair, I'm sorry. I tried, but they have my hands tied and I can't do anything now. When she had heard those words, she thought it could mean anything, anything but Richard breaking off their engagement. She thought he was in trouble, and had been ready to help, in any way she could, even if she had to run to him, barefoot, still dressed in her pyjamas. Who has your—What are you talking about Richard? Please tell me, did something happen? Why do you sound this way? The minute of silence that followed after that, only increased Blair's fear. With each passing second, her fear only heightene
"Ok, so what did you guys want to tell me?" She asked. "Must be something serious since you had me come back home for it.""Blair," her Father started, but paused immediately, looking back at her mother, who nodded and placed a supporting hand on his shoulder. He faced his daughter again. "You know how my business was facing a major setback about two years ago?" Blair nodded. "I had to loan money from The Lancaster-""Wait." Blair sat up, surprised by what her Father just said. "The Lancaster? Like the-""Yes," her mother said. "The Lancaster. Your Father needed to do something fast and when he approached Mr. Lancaster, he was able to loan your Dad a great sum of money which brought your Dad's business back.""Yes. Except according to the contract I signed, I would pay back in a year and a half time.""Ok," Blair said slowly."Your Father doesn't yet have the money to pay Mr. Lancaster Blair. He does have the money, but if he takes that money out and pays, his business would go back to
Blair had sworn she wasn't going to get married to any man, yet, she found herself putting on a fake smile as she smiled at a face she was only seeing for the first time on their wedding day.Blair had heard a lot about the man, from her mother, her father, and even a few of her friends who had heard for him. She had seen a picture, but she had never met him physically. He never came along with his parents and wasn't around for the wedding preparations or even the engagement ceremony where his father had to be the one to present the ring to her. This was the one time she wished he would have kept with his absence. She had prepared for this with the hope that he wasn't going to show up and she wouldn't have to be married to him after all, but he did, and she hated him for that.Dylan Lancaster was a handsome man, he had this cool, gentlemanly look that had raised Blair's hope for a minute, but then the cold look he had sent her way when no one was looking had her rethinking. His icy blu
Blair woke up to the awful sound of clatters around her. She grabbed her pillow placing it over her head. "Get away Samantha! I don't have the time for your rubbish today.""Who is Samantha?" A deep voice asked.Blair's eyes flew open, as she jumped up, hitting her head with something as equally strong. "Fuck!" She cursed, falling back on the bed as she grabbed hold of her forehead. "What the..." The rest were words in a strange language even she didn't know. She looked up to find a groaning Dylan also holding to his forehead as he sent her an ugly look. "What's your problem!" She fired. "Where are you watching me sleep?""What's my problem? You're the one with the Iron man head and I wasn't watching you sleep..." He eyed her. "Why are your eyes red and puffed up?"Blair frowned looking away from him. "None of your business," she muttered. "What are you doing in my room?"He took a step back. "This is not your room Blair. I suggest you pack your things out before Donna comes back and f
Dylan wasn't joking when he talked about no other room for Blair to go to. Any other door that Blair came across thinking it was a room where she could lay her head, she would find out it was locked. She was angry as she hadn't had her bath yet, she wished she had done that before leaving Donna's room, but then Donna would have caught her. She cringed at the scenario of Donna walking into her bathroom only to find a naked Blair still lying in her bathtub.After walking around for hours, not finding a place. She finally came back to Dylan's room. Though she wasn't ready, she could already imagine him laughing in victory, she had just placed his things on the bed when her phone began to ring."Hello?""Hey girl, I'm outside." It was Jessica, a close friend from her previous workplace, though after Blair had retreated to her whole after she and Richard separated, they've both been a little distant. "I hope you got the text I sent you, I was calling, but you weren't answering your phone."
