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." Is that
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
CASSIE'S POVWhat!The entire house burnt down?Oh, no, no, no!This can't be happening!“Cassie, wait."Raymond grabbed my hand as I was about to leave the house.“My sister, Raymond, I have to go see my sister."I couldn't help but cry. 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
“She must have locked them up inside the house and set the house on fire."“See how she is acting innocent, I don't trust her."“I heard from the neighbors that she killed her grandfather to take over his fortune. She is dangerous, yet she doesn't look like she can hurt an ant."Those horrible words some women were whispering at the scene still resonate in my ears. I don't even know which one I should deal with. The rumors flying around the neighborhood,The house that burnt down,Or the pain of losing the five servants who out of their pure hearts, decided to stay with me while the rest chose to leave?Oh, GodWhy is this happening to me?I am not evil to lock them all in one room and burn down the house, I can't even do that to my enemy. Who could have done that?That can never be an accident, it was planned and carried out. “Ms. Blair, you need to follow us to the station for interrogations."Interrogation?I don't even know how it happened. “Ms. Blair wasn't at home when that
CASSIE'S POVThis really went as I wanted. Blair must be boiling in rage right now. She hasn't seen anything yet; I'll make sure even Grandpa George detests her more than anything in this world. Even Raymond, I will never allow him to go near her. “Ray, what will you do about Blair now?" I caressed his beard, giving him a worried look. “She has chosen the path which you told her not to." Sighs. “I know how you feel right now, but don't be upset, I am here to make you happy."Just a night with Raymond might change my life. 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. But Raymond won't just sleep in the same room with me, I don't know why. “I think I'll go bring her back."Bring her back?That is impossible!“Blair won't go with you."He looks at me surprisingly. “You might not believe this, but I spoke with her yesterday about going back to your house, but she refused to listen to me,”"She said she'll
CASSIE'S POVNow I have to leave this house.Dang it!I didn't plan it this way, I wanted to take over Raymond and make him marry me. This old man has ruined my plan. I thought he listened to Raymond,I thought if he saw me, he would be happy that Raymond was happy with me. But no, Blair had managed to make the man like her. I have no voice now other than to leave, but this isn't over. I'll make my way back into this Mansion once more, and when I do, no one can stop me from marrying Raymond. His Grandpa?PffffWho cares about the old man?He can die anytime soon, that will even be a bonus. Phone rings!And who could that be?I am not in any mood for anything unserious right now. Nevertheless, I decided to check who the caller was to see if I could answer the call or not.Oh, wait, it's Blair's Dad. What on earth does he want now?“Hello, Cassie, how are you?"Just go straight to the point, dude. “I am doing great."“That's good. You haven't stopped by to see me, I have been
