"That's not true!" Blair snapped at Sylvia, surprising even herself. A week ago and she might have been supporting Sylvia, instead she would have added more words against Dylan. But they both have been having lot of conversations now and Blair now understood why Dylan must have 'strongly disliked' her in the beginning like he said. "He is not so bad.""You know," Samantha finally spoke up. "I wasn't going to say anything, but don't you think that's a little harsh thing to say about your own cousin."Sylvia didn't look guilty at all. "I don't think it is, if it's the truth.""Hold on, so you don't even care at all? How jobless must you have been to work all the way here just to badmouth your own cousin?" Samantha cussed. "Did Dylan do something in the past? Something I don't know of?"She didn't give a reply to Blair, which to Samantha and instead faced Blair instead. "Did they tell you about Clara?" Samantha let out a cuss when she saw Samantha was ignoring her. "I'm sure he told you
"Wait," he said quickly stepping in her way. "You have to understand that I thought you knew, and I didn't want this. Seriously, I was against the whole idea.""I'm not angry with you Dylan, not you. Do you know how I feel? Like some pawn in a stupid play.""I'm sorry. I don't even care about the inheritance anymore. It was one of the reason I was strongly against the marriage. After everything with Clara, she was someone I really cared for and it was this stupid talk of inheritance that Sylvia brought up to her that destroyed our relationship. It was why I didn't want this, and also one of the reasons I treated you the way I did. I didn't want to fall or you, or for you to fall for me, knowing that you were just doing this to pay for your father's debt and my parents were making me do this to secure the inheritance.""And now?""I don't care anymore, this is no longer because of the inheritance. This between us is because I like you and now, I really want to pursue this thing with yo
Blair didn’t know how but she found herself staring at Dylan’s lips. It was so pink she could not help but swallow. Dylan stopped from where he was adjusting her pillow as he felt her stare on him. He stared back at her with an intense look“Can I kiss you?” Dylan asked out of nowhere and my head nodded automatically. He didn’t waste time. Dylan picked up my lips and mounted it with his.Blair moaned as Dylan too hold of her neck and gently pulled her to him."Blair?" A voice interrupted. Blair froze in the kiss. It couldn't be, she thought. She didn't want to look out of fear, wanted to believe it was her mind playing tricks with her. So instead, she pulled Dylan even closer, deepening the kiss. "Blair!" Dylan had to pull back this time."Who are you?" Dylan asked. "How..." He stopped and turned to Blair. "Do you know him? Is he one of your relatives?""No.""Blair, who is this man? I heard the rumors but I refused to believe this was true.""Oh, to hell with what you believe Richard
Dylan chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you too babe. How are you?""I'kom okay. How was work? Very stressful I know which is why I cooked something nice for you so go freshen up and come down to eat.""Ah! Wonderful. Let me go so I can go and freshen up then," he said, smiling at her.With a sheepish smile, Blair released Dylan and he gave her an equal smile before walking away. Minutes later, Dylan was out of the bathroom. He did not even change to proper clothes when he went to sit on the dining table."Gosh, Dylan!" Blair exclaimed when she saw that Dylan was still in his bathrobe. "At least put on trousers. Are you that eager to eat?""Literally and figuratively, yes." He gave her a wide grin and a wink, then started to dig into the food.It took Blair some seconds to understand the meaning of his words, and when she did, she gasped and threw the plastic spoon in her hand at him.Dylan dodged it with a chuckle. "Why do you want to abuse me?" He said dramaticall
Dylan was making reservations outside when he owned a five star hotel with an equally high rated restaurant. It was mainly because he felt like it would be boring to take Blair there when they had been there for a number of times. Even Blair herself had been there with her family, and because he wanted this evening to be special, he could not take her to somewhere she had been times without number. It would be boring.Dylan picked his cell phone and made a call to Alexa who came into his office right that time."I was just about to call you," he said, ending the call."I'm guessing you've picked a place, sir?"Dylan nodded,beckoning on her to come closer as he turned the screen of his MacBook to face her. "I want this place. Make the reservation for me, I mean rent out the whole place. I'll go there this evening by seven so please make it fast. Thank you."Alexa nodded and walked out of the office.It felt like he was forgetting something very important. Dylan searched his brain to re
"Blair, I know that you want to feel loved again, especially after what Richard did, but this might not be the right way to go about it. I'm not saying this because I hate you or don't want you to be happy, but I wouldn't want you to suffer later. Okay, first of all he was giving you serious trouble, and then he changed all of a sudden. What if this is related to what his cousin was saying the other day?"Blair did not even know what to think again. The inheritance… her heart started to slam against her rib cage as she reasoned the possibilities that Dylan was using her. But he didn't seem cruel. And the change, he had said he regretted treating her bad and he wanted them to start all over again. Dylan could not be using her, right?"Sam… it's not related to the inheritance. Even my parents knew about it, I was the only one in the dark. He didn't even know that I was not aware. And… Sam, he treats me really well, I swear. He feels the same about me." This was Blair trying to convince
Those words were repeating in her head like a broken record. Just how vulnerable could she be? And how foolish did Dylan think she was? Because he must really have thought of her to be a big fool—which she actually was.It was very easy for him to fool her, because that was how she was. Blair who was easily fooled, easily broken, easily used, easily dumped and discarded.The tears she had been trying to control filled her eyes and began to overflow like a dam. It poured down he cheeks, and no matter how much she kept wiping and wiping it off, it kept coming back, and even more."Gav please stop the car," she said to the driver, her voice coming out a lot more shaky than she had expected."Are you okay, Miss?" He questioned."I don't know, just turn the car back, please.""But we're almost there-""Turn the freaking car! Please…" she trailed off, letting out a heavy sob.The driver went silent, then reversed and turned the car back."Where are you headed?"Blair didn't even know where
Blair was definitely astounded, he had lied to her. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes ready to spill but she kept blinking them back. She held her chest tightly as if something was trying to pull out her heart. How was he able to pretend? She thought.The words, the affections, the intense love making and most of all the changes she saw in him, how was he able to keep the act? She kept asking herself questions that she definitely couldn't answer even if she wanted to. Tears finally dropped one after the other without control, she had been used, like a fool.She nearly forgot that she was going to meet him at a restaurant tonight, they had already gone far from home but she didn't care.All she wanted was to get out of the car and disappear, to run away from the man who caused her immense pain and suffering, the man who ripped out her heart from her chest without any mercy."Gav, please stop the car" she spoke, her voice was raspy from crying and she was sure that h noticed."Ma'
