" I have no idea, Alicia. But I'll think of something. They scared me, I don't think I can face the shareholders tomorrow.”

I sighed deeply, resting my head on the desk.

" But you'll have to do it, ma'am. Show them you are the boss and not them. You see how the P. A., was talking to them; that's what you should do, too.”

Yes, that's correct.

But I don't know how to do that.

And it will take me days to master it.

Those people are older than me, and some of them can give birth to me too.

They think because I am younger than them, I can not rule them.

One even said I wasn't the one who came to the company with Grandpa before he died.

Could it be Cassie?

Maybe they thought she would be the one to become the president since she's older than me.

Age aside, I have more flesh than Cassie, and I am a little bit taller than her too.

Shouldn't they at least consider the structure?

Sighs

This is going to give me a headache.

After we were done having lunch, I decided to go home.

    CASSIE'S POV“What do you mean she isn't dead?" "I saw her at the shopping mall yesterday, ma'am. The one downtown.”Downtown?That's where Raymond's house is. And it was Blair he saw?I am so confused right now. As far as I know, Blair died in my place before she was dumped at the amusement park. How is that even possible?No, this can't be happening. If truly Blair is alive, then I am done for. She'll tell Raymond I was the kidnapper, and he'll make sure I am arrested. What to do now?"Should I go after her, Miss Cassie?”Go after her?" Are you nuts? You want to go after her and do what? If you are arrested, count me out of bailing you because I'll pretend I don't even know you.” What nonsense!It was his fault; he was the one who told me she was no longer breathing. And now he's telling me he saw her alive. Cassie, you are done for.I'll confirm first and see if she's alive. But who to confirm with?Should I go to Reece's mansion?What if she has already told him?No, I

    BLAIR'S POVHow dare Cassie kiss Raymond in front of me.Coming to the house to confirm I am still alive isn't enough?She went ahead to do what would trigger my heart.I don't like this at all, and I am so angry that Raymond didn't do anything about it. Instead of stopping her from doing whatever she wanted to do, he stood there, rooted in a spot like a tree. He wanted that, I know.If not, he wouldn't have allowed her to do it. I think it's time to tell him who the kidnapper was. That way, he would stay away from Cassie. I don't want her to be arrested and put behind bars, I just want him to be far away from her.It hurts my feelings whenever Cassie is all intimate with him.“Ma'am?"“Not now, I'm not in a good mood." Alicia bowed her head and left the room. I won't go to that company today, I have to confront Raymond first.He has to know the kind of a person my sister is. Why do I even keep calling her my sister? A part of me hates her. “Blair, that wasn't proper."Not p

    RAYMOND'S POVBlair is lying to me right now which is weird.She has never lied to me before, why now?Something is really fishy. Where did she go without telling me?There's no way someone could spend more than four hours in the shopping mall, let alone the hospital. Even if she went to those places yesterday, she wouldn't have spent more than four hours in both. She must have gone somewhere and she doesn't want to tell me. What is Blair planning?I'm stopping her from leaving the house alone because of her own good.Someone is after her life even though I haven't been able to find out who it is. She can't be careless while carrying my baby. She needs to be careful wherever she wants to go. “Why didn't you care to tell me? You know how much I want to see you and the baby healthy." Blair sighed, lowering her head. “I know. I just didn't want to pressure you."Pressure me?If it was really the hospital, she would have told me right before going. To burst the bubble, the docto

    BLAIR'S POVOh, Jeff, come on, there's no way I can leave this house right now without Raymond seeing me. What should I do?I can't make Jeff feel like I betrayed him. He saved my life, and the least I could do was go see him to make him happy. Raymond is controlling my life, and I don't like it.When he hasn't found out I was pregnant, I leave the house whenever I want and he doesn't stop me. “Alicia?"I went to Alicia's room to plan with her because she's the only one I trust, and the only maid closer to me in the apartment. “Ma'am?"She stood up from her bed, adjusting her gown. “I need your help, Alicia. Jeff wants to see me."“Jeff? The guy Mr. Raymond warned you never to go see?" Her eyes widened in shock. “Ma'am please don't go. Mr. Raymond won't be happy with you. You know how much he cares about your security."Ahh, I know. But he can't keep controlling my life because I am carrying his baby. “I didn't come here for you to remind me of that, so do not talk me out of

    Kill who?Isn't that Cassie's voice I am hearing?What is she doing in Jeff's place?Was she the one that made Jeff call me to come see him so they'll do whatever they want to do with me?No, Jeff can't do that, can he?Should I even be surprised if Jeff is a bad person too?My own sister wants me dead, so I won't be surprised if Jeff wants that, too. I wanted to turn away and run from there, but I heard Jeff's voice.“I can't do that, Blair hasn't done anything to me." Great, Jeff isn't like her. “She is a good person, Cassie. Do not let the hatred you have for Blair to blind you. You will regret this later if you don't stop doing this stuff."“Who cares?" She let out a loud laugh. “You know what? I think you should leave now!"“Are you sending me out of your house?" “Yes, Cassie, you aren't welcome here; you are evil." When I heard footsteps approaching the door, I hid behind the flowers, waiting for Cassie to leave. “If you don't do as I told you, you are going to lose Blai

    Raymond was pacing in front of the apartment when I stepped inside the gate. I quietly tiptoed and hid behind some flowers since he wasn't looking at the gate. What on earth is he doing here now?Has Alicia burst the bubble and he's pacing around, waiting for me to return?Oh, come on!That wasn't what I told Alicia to do.She might have made a mistake because of her nervousness, and then Raymond found out it wasn't me who was lying on the bed. How could she do this to me?Now, I won't be the one in trouble, Jeff is. Raymond will haunt Jeff down and throw him in jail. What can I do to stop him?Absolutely nothing. He won't even listen to me because he had warned me before.Still trying to figure out what to do, a maid from Grandpa George's apartment came to Raymond and they hurried away together. I watched him enter Grandpa's apartment and sighed in relief. Now I can go inside the apartment without him seeing me. As fast as I could, I went inside the apartment, hurried up the

    Today, Ray left the house so early, saying he had an important meeting to attend to in the company. He wasn't so happy that he was going to leave the house today; he wanted to stay with me the whole day, just like yesterday. If only he knew what was in my mind, maybe he would have canceled the meeting. My prayers have been answered, I can now leave the house to my own company in peace. I just wish Raymond could understand for once, and allow me to go to the company just as he goes to his without any worries. But no, his reason is still the same. “Ma'am? He has arrived."That's my P. A., I told him to come pick me up because I won't leave the house with any of the cars. Maybe Raymond would decide to come home when I'm gone, and if he finds any of the cars missing, he'll know I left the house. But if none of the cars are missing, then he would think I am in Grandpa George's apartment, or just taking a stroll around the house. “Where is he? Hope he didn't drive inside the house?

    Oh great!This meeting won't end well, either.Look at their faces, none of them are even happy to see me. And look, they are all above thirty." And who is this?” One of them asked as soon as we entered the hall. I glanced at the P.A., Panicking more than Alicia."She is the new president…"“Come again?" They all burst into laughter at the same time. I feel so embarrassed right now, and I wish the ground could swallow me. What sort of a thing is this?“She's too young?"This nonsense again!I hate it when they say I am too young. How could they?I may be young, but I can do what some of them can't even do. “Also, she made us all come here yesterday without showing up. Who does that? I hate working with amateurs."I've had enough of this, it's time to step up and show them I am the president and not them. Maybe a little threat could work. “Am I too young? Funny."They all went silent. The hall became so quiet as if no one was present there. Seeing how they were all staring

  • Messed With The Wrong Heiress    85. Another Tragedy 

    The moment two guys came out from the car, dressed in black overalls, with black masks covering their faces, my life flashed before my eyes. They were each carrying a gun, pointing to our car as they approached it. Ben looked at me, his eyes filled with fear. "Get down!” One yelled, holding the door of the back seat where I was sitting."I can't open it, Ms. Blair, if I do, he is going to shoot you.” Oh, Jeff, I should have listened to you. Seeing that Ben wasn't going to open the car, they aimed the gun at us and started shooting. Unfortunately for them, none of the bullets broke the window. Surprised, I tapped Ben's shoulder. “Don't worry, it is bulletproof."Wow!What a miracle. I would have been battling with my life now had it been that bullet had hit me. While rubbing my tummy, an idea suddenly crept into my head. “Ben, drive us out of here, fast!"He looked at me and raised a brow. “We can't leave here, they'll still trail us, and the worst could happen."

    While the investigation was ongoing, I decided to stay at home for quite some time before everything would be back to normal. Although I wanted to resume work, Jeff told me not to be in a hurry. He said the bad guys might still be lurking around to harm me. That was true, But I still needed to go out for some fresh air, even if I wouldn't go far from the house. Jeff has been so helpful to me,Maybe I should have divorced Raymond when he asked for it, and then given Jeff a chance. He is so loving, caring, and always wants to see me happy. He has taken over the responsibility of the things Raymond should be doing. Well, my selfishness put me into this. I should have left him while I still could, but no, I wanted to stay back because of my heart. “Blair, just give us a week, and the person who set your house ablaze will be brought to the court.” That has been Jeff's words for the past two days since his friend started the investigation. I have full confidence that Jeff and hi

    When we arrived home, Jeff was pacing around in the living room with the phone placed on his left ear.As soon as I opened the door, he turned around and hurried to me. “She is back, I'll call you later."He ended the call and then held my hands. “Where have you been, Blair? I told you I will be back in an hour." Sighs.“I stepped out…"He interrupted me. “Don't leave the house again, it is so dangerous now." He led me to the sofa and made me sit on it. "I was told Cassie came to see you.” I nodded my head. "Tell me what she told you. Does she have a hand in this? Let's start the investigation with her.”Sighs. "I don't know if she has a hand in this, Jeff. She blamed me for everything. She said I am behind all this so she wouldn't get a dime out of Grandpa's fortune.” Jeff scoffed. "Didn't she run away with millions of dollars? What else does she want?” Cassie's greed will never be satisfied if she doesn't get all the fortune to her name. She wants everything Grandpa lef

    BLAIR'S POVCassie stormed out of the house, slamming the door very hard.I thought she was here to console me, but no, she came to add to my pain.But is what she said the truth?Perhaps she could have said that because she wouldn't be able to sell the mansion as she had planned to.Who am I kidding?I can lose the company and every other thing Grandpa put in my name. I don't have the documents again. But wait, if I go there now, I might find them. Maybe they aren't completely burned. I picked up my phone from the dining table and hurried out of the house. “Give me the car keys."I took the keys from the driver and sped out of the house. If I can reach there before Cassie, I will be able to retrieve them before she can. I remember seeing all of that in an iron box Grandpa cherished a lot. The box can never burn, right?It wasn't made of fabric or wood; it was made of metal. It can only get rusted but can't burn. The rate at which I am speeding scares me, but I have to do th

Blair must be going through a lot right now. Who could have done this?The entire house?With everyone in it?“Calm down, Blair is alright." I know she's alright because I saw her on the news. I just want to go see her, to be sure she was able to retrieve some things from the house. “I'll be back, Ray, just wait for me."Raymond wanted to go with me, but there was no way I could allow him to see Blair. The spell might break if they make eye contact and I don't want that.“Can you drive in this state?"He asked, handing over his car keys to me. “Sure."Before Raymond could say another thing, I was already at the door leaving the apartment.I drove out of the house hoping everyone would still be at the scene right now.When I was watching the ne

    Luckily, the interrogation wasn't as terrible as the officer made it look.Maybe it was because Jeff scared him off at the hospital.And none of them talked about sending me to court; they all behaved so well, unlike the way they treated me before Jeff arrived at the hospital. “Can we go now?"Jeff asked the officer in charge; the guy looked so scary.Outside, I sat on a bench, waiting for Jeff and my P. A.Jeff was still inside, having a talk with the Officer in charge, why my P. A went to the nearby restaurant to get me something to eat. All of this doesn't look like a reality to me. Who could have done this to me?All investigations showed that someone set the house on fire. But we can't see who did that because the CCT Camera burnt down in the fire. If only there was another way to catch the culprit, I would be happy. Those people can not die just like that, they need justice for them to rest on. “Blair?"Jeff tapped my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. “Let's go." I

If I get pregnant for him, his grandpa won't be able to send me out of the house when I decide to move in with them.
