Blair's POVMy head spun as I tried to open my eyes, the morning sun shining through the curtains made it worse.I groaned, Ahh fuck, why did I sleep on the floor last night? With my eyes closed, I used my hand to search for a blanket when I felt someone's shadow on me.I immediately opened my eyes to see Ace standing in front of the curtain, “I didn't mean to wake you, I just wanted to block the sun from your face.”I sat up, “It's no problem,” I placed my hand on my head, It hurt. Ace passed me a bottle of water, I took it, emptied the glass, and gave the glass back to him, “I made tea to help you with the hangover, I hope you will be okay.”Ace handed me the tea and I took it from his hand, “Thank you.”I drank from it, it wasn't sweet but I managed to drink it. The moment I dropped the cup, yesterday's incident began to flood my mind. My eyes widened and I used my hand to cover my mouth.I couldn't remember it well, but I clearly remembered our make-out session and I initiated it

Blair's POVI got ready in navy blue pants, a beige blouse top, and a black fur coat, I carried the bag Ace gifted me. I went outside to meet Ace standing, resting on the car and his eyes were fixed on his phone.“How do I look?” I did a 360 turn for Ace and he nodded his head. I scoffed loudly so he could hear it. Like why didn't he answer? I noticed Ace and I were wearing matching outfits. I wanted to compliment him because he looked like a prince but I chose to shut up my mouth.I entered the car and slammed the door, Ace entered the car and drove silently to the address I gave him.I wonder what was up with him? Why was he behaving like that? I glanced at him once in a while to check if he was okay.We arrived at the place where we were supposed to have brunch, Ace parked the car, came down, opened the door for me, and carried my bag. We all agreed to have brunch before we do anything.He held my hand as we walked into the cafe. Alec, Zade, Kayla, and Clover were already seated a

Blair's POV “I want to look into Ace,” I said to Clover why she was arranging her makeup in the restroom.“The holiday is almost over, is there a need to do so?” Clover applied her lipstick on her lips. “I know but since the bag incident, I don't think I can trust him,” I explained, “Since he came to my house, he hasn't received any phone call or message, isn't that suspicious?”I found it suspicious how no one in his family, school, work, or even friends called. I have never seen him text anybody or even do social media.“I will give you someone's number, so you can look into him,” Clover smacked her lips together, “How do I look?”“You look good,” I said without looking at her.“Whatever,” Clover said, and I sighed, “I don't care what you do; all I know is by the end of the holiday, I will have a free 100k$ in my account.”I sighed again, I couldn't believe that money would leave my account, “Nothing might happen so I might be the one getting the free 100k$”“Blair, please can I s

Blair's POV I was scared of the answer; after fifteen years, my life was a lie after all, so what? I prepared my mind to hear the worst.Zade looked at me, “NO, I didn't, I have never loved you; I just like the fact we were the IT couple in high school and college; we could have still been the IT couple now, but I needed an offspring.”He….he… knew, I took a deep breath and placed my hand on my chest, I couldn't breathe, “How..did you know ? How long have you known?”“We were still in college, we visited your house, and I accidentally saw the result in Noah's room, but Blair, you are still my obsession, and I would love to be with you; I already have my offspring,” I shut my eyes and let the tears roll down.I was happy without knowing anything of these; why did this bastard have to say all these now? “Shut up,” I said through gritted teeth, “Everything was a lie? How could you, for once, not think how I would have felt?”Zade clicked his tongue, “I did think how you felt, and that

Blair's POV “Yes, I ..” I didn't let him finish what he was going to say as I slapped him across the cheeks and he looked at me with shock, “What was that for?”“It's your fault I was involved in that accident, why didn't you stop your car when you noticed I was trying to get rid of it?!” I yelled. Deep down I wasn't even angry about him following me, I just wanted the opportunity to scream and cry.“I wanted to make sure you were safe,” Ace scoffed, “Maybe I should have minded my business in the first place.”“Yes, maybe next time you should cause I could have died because of you,” I spat.“Don't pour your anger on me, pour it on your lover who betrayed you, I'm not the one who left you because you can't bear children,” I didn't know when I slapped him again, this time I wasn't angry, I was hurt.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…”“Thanks for saving my life,” I dragged my bag from his hand, stopped a taxi and entered before he could say anything.“Please take me to the nearest bar,” I s

Blair's POV I played with Ace's hair as he was sleeping peacefully. I can't believe I had fallen for a man younger than me and he somehow confessed first. Now I'm curious, did I fall first or did he fall first? I moved closer to him to kiss his lips and instantly shifted back when he opened his eyes, fuck, I didn't expect him to wake up so soon. “Why did you stop?” His low morning voice was like a warm cup of coffee on a chilly morning. His voice made me blush when I remembered what happened between the two of us this early morning. “Why are you blushing?” Ace asked and I tucked my hair behind my ear. “Bl.. blushing? No I'm not,” I tried to keep a straight face. Ace began to draw a circle on my thighs with his hand and it made my body heat up again, “Ace, stop,” I suppressed how I was feeling by biting my lip and fisting the blanket with my hand. “Why don't we continue from where we stopped this morning?” Ace left wet kisses on my neck and I playfully pushed him away. “Don't,

Blair's POV “Grandma, Grandpa, everyone, how about we get Kayla and Zade married?” I said with a wide grin on my face.“Marriage?” I heard Kayla whisper from behind me.“You want to get them married?” Thaila scoffed, “That's crazy, Blair is something wrong? Are you dying or something?”“No,” I shook my head as the smile on my face widened.“Then why will you get them married? They both hurt you,” Thaila sneered and pointed at the both of them.“I don't want to get them married because I want to, I'm doing it because of Austin, he..”“Who the fuck is Austin?” Thaila Interrupted what I was saying, and my other cousins couldn't give a reply; they all looked at each other. I guess they didn't know about Austin either.“They already picked a name for the unborn baby?” One of my cousins spat, “You two are fucking shameless.”My eyes searched Kayla's eyes, and she looked scared while Zade didn't look like he cared one bit, “Austin, Austin is Kayla and Zade's firstborn child; he is seven yea

Chapter 28

Blair's POV“Me?” Noah looked at Zade with confusion written on his face, “When did I ever give you such information?”“Are you saying you didn't give him such information?” Thaila furrowed her eyebrows.“No, No, never, I never liked him enough to give him any information about Blair and especially one about infertility, I had never even run such a test on her so how would I know that?” Noah defended himself in a defensive tone.What was going on? “I will definitely cut off your tongue for lying,” Thaila hissed, her eyes looking around for anything to hit Zade.“Noah, I had seen the result too,” I said in a low tone, I was scared and hid behind Ace.“What result do you keep talking about? I had never run an infertility test on you before,” Noah defended again.“When I was in college, Zade and I saw the result in your office. You took my urine and blood sample, you took a scan, and you also prescribed drugs for me. Can you remember?” I replied with confusion. How could he have forgott

Blair's POV “Can we not go home?” I asked when Ace finished paying for the drugs at the pharmacy. “It's already late; we have been outside for hours,” Ace said; I opened the bottle of water and drank the drugs. “I know somewhere, do you want to go there till later at night?” Ace asked and I looked at him with a smile on my face. He hasn't been here for too long but he knows a place? “Where?” “Somewhere,” Ace winked; he started the car and drove to only where he knew where. I looked at him with so much love in my eyes. I had never felt this way for anyone, and I was genuinely happy, “Thank you,” I placed my hand on his, which was on the steering wheel. “For what?” He glanced at me before concentrating on the road. “Everything,” I pecked his cheeks, and his face turned red. “Blair, since we are together for real, I wanted to tell you something important,” Ace said; I nodded my head, waiting for him to say it. He looked at me with emotions I couldn't understand, “I wil

He entered the driver's seat, and during the drive to the hospital, I just wanted to know if she had started breathing.“Ace… Ace…do….do…do…you…. think….she…will ..be….be…be…O .. okay?” I couldn't be strong anymore. I let the tears roll down my eyes.“Blair, she is going to be okay,” Ace threw me a concerned glance; I wiped the tears from my eyes and turned my face to the other side of the car, resting my head on the window.Thoughts filled my head, so many what ifs, I was scared, she is not only my mom but my best friend. When we got to the hospital, I didn't wait for Ace to park the car, I took my phone and ran into the hospital.I called Kayla to find out where I was going to meet up with them.
