A few minutes later, the Nurse returned and discharged me. “Asher has been talking about you since the day I brought him back. He always wishes you could come over here to stay with him.”Scoffs.I know this is all he is saying. Asher doesn’t even talk about me. I know that. If he did, Raymond would have brought him back to me long ago. I know how Asher is when he starts talking about something. “Blair, you aren’t saying anything.”What does he want me to say?“I just want to see my son.”He nodded his head and smiled. “Asher will be so excited to see you. Grandpa too, you used to call him Grandpa George and he likes you a lot.”Really?Or is this part of his schemes?Well, I don’t care about any of his family members. All I want is my son and the moment I get hold of him, we are leaving. The drive to his house took an eternity. It was longer from the hospital than I thought. Wow!This is a mansion.His family must be so rich. Wait a second,The Reece mansion?Gosh!I could
Wow!So Raymond doesn’t love Cassie as she told me? I still can’t figure out what exactly Cassie is up to. Whatever it is, I know I will find out one day. She must have done so many bad things to me that I can’t even remember.Sighs. If only I could remember even a single thing, I would have known the true intentions of Cassie. Out of Embarrassment, Cassie lowered her head and hurried away. Raymond scoffed, opened the door, and stepped in. Wait a second,I can’t allow Raymond to slip my hands again.I came to this city because of him, and I left Cassie’s place because of him.If he leaves now, where else could I find him? Still standing behind the car and thinking of my next move, the car hit me hard making me fall to the ground. Ouch!That hurts. Doesn’t the driver have eyes to look through the mirror before driving back? Now he has hurt me. “Miss, are you alright?”The driver asked as soon as he came to the back. “I am so sorry, please, I didn’t know you were standing h
“Ms. Blair, please calm down, okay? Ms. Cassie is only looking after you.”When I am not a baby? Even if she wanted to look after me, this isn't the right way to follow. Restricting my movement is what she called care?“Stop saying rubbish and open this door now or else I'll call 911!”The maid didn't say a word again, and the next second, she was walking away.I thought she was going to bring a spare key to unlock the door, but she never showed up again.After a few minutes of silence, it occurred to me that she had made a fool out of me. I swear, Cassie and her maids will get the bad side of me when I get out of here. This is torture. How can she lock up a grown woman like me? I have a baby to save for goodness’ sake. This is getting out of hand and I have to find a way to get out of here. An hour later, Cassie still hadn't returned and I was so hungry. Wait a second,An hour ago, the maid said Cassie instructed her to give me whatever I requested. She won't starve me, rig
“I will do that, Thank you.”He dropped me in front of the hotel, and I took another taxi back to Cassie’s house. When I arrived, it was already night and Cassie’s car was parked in front of the apartment.“Ma’am, please say a word to Ms. Cassie so she won’t fire me.”Uhn?“She fired the maid because she let you out of the house. She said if you return home late, then she is going to fire me too.”Cassie came home early?But why would she fire the maid because she let me leave the house?What’s wrong with her?“I’ll talk to her.”I hope she listens. Cassie was pacing around the living room when I entered. The moment she saw me, she paused and frowned. “What is wrong with you, Blair? Why did you leave the house without informing me first? I thought I told you not to step out of here unless I asked you to.”She went on and on, ranting angrily.“The last time I checked, you are only my sister, not my mother.”She stopped when I said that. Yes, she heard me right. “Why are you tryin
BLAIR’S POV Lately, Cassie has been acting so weirdly which seems to confuse me.A few days ago when we first met, she promised to bring my son back to me within a week, but it has already been a week, getting to two weeks now yet, nothing from her. Not even an explanation,Or an excuse. She would leave the house as early as possible, and wouldn’t return until night when she knew I was already asleep. This makes me wonder if she truly meant what she promised. Is she even really my sister?Well, the photo album explained it all. We are siblings, it is visible. But were we close the way she mentioned it?If we were closed, shouldn’t she have done whatever she could to bring that boy back?And the worst of it all is that she told me not to leave the house. Out of curiosity, I asked her the reason. However, she told me it was because she doesn't want me to be seen outside.She said a lot of people knew me back then.And if they saw me now, they would be so scared. She also added
It wasn’t easy taking Asher away from Grandpa the previous day. He insisted we move back into the mansion because of Cassie. Well, I stood my ground and he had no choice but to leave me alone. Luckily, Asher didn't argue when he was asked to go home with me. He told grandpa that he would follow me, his daddy. Well, that was all yesterday. Today, I won’t take Asher to the mansion, I’d rather take him to the company with me. “Mr. Reece? The meeting is scheduled by 10 am for your company, while noon for Ms. Blair’s company.”Wow!Asher would be so stressed. I didn’t remember I had two meetings. What to do now?I can’t go with him to both companies.And I can’t leave him in one company either. What if someone recognizes him as my son and takes him away?I have lots of business rivals. “Why not leave him in the house?”Ben suggested. “There are maids who would take good care of him. And the bodyguards would keep an eye on him.”That sounds good.But would Asher listen to them?
