Three days later, I received a call from Grandpa to go see Blair at her company. At first, I was skeptical about going because Blair might not want to see me. But then, I decided to give it a try again since Grandpa went to talk to her yesterday.To my surprise, Blair didn't order her assistant to tell me to go away, she even made them take me to her office. I waited for her as she was in a meeting when I arrived. When Blair arrived, she had smiles all over her face and then offered me a seat.Without wasting time, I started apologizing to her, telling her all that had happened after she left. “I wanted to go after you, to bring you back home, but something was stopping me. I had no control over it, Blair. Please forgive me.” She chuckled softly, took a sip from the coffee on the desk, and sighed. "It was your sister,” I went on."Cassie might have charmed me because I could only do the things she wanted me to do.” Blair lifted her right brow. She was surprised. "Cassie cha
CASSIE'S POVRaymond slapped me.What is happening?Has the charm broken?No way!“What is wrong with you? Didn't you tell me the charm isn't going to break?"“It isn't my fault, you must have done something that made him angry."What da!“Didn't I tell you not to tamper with his heart? I told you the charm was going to break as soon as Raymond got angry with you."That is nonsense!I tossed the phone on the bed, held my head, and gasped. I know about that, and I have been so careful not to trigger Raymond's heart. Now, I have done the worst. Raymond is out of my reach now.What else should I do?RAYMOND'S POVTwo days later, and I still haven't gotten over it. Miss Becca's partnership cancellation hit me like a blow two days ago. I didn't expect that to happen. I thought since I've already won her over, she would not back out. However, I was wrong. Cassie has ruined the whole thing for me. “Mr. Raymond? Grandpa George is waiting for you in his apartment."Now what?That was t
RAYMOND'S POVThe moment I stepped out of the meeting hall, Cassie's voice was the first thing I heard. She seemed to be fighting with someone, and it was coming from the direction of my office. What on earth is happening now?Who is she fighting with?“Take this to the record department." I quickened my step after handing the file to my assistant. "Mr. Reece?”The secretary looked so worried. “What is happening there?"I asked her, trying to open the door to the office. “It's Miss Cassie, she is…”As soon as the door opened, I found Cassie dragging a lady to the ground by her hair. “Cassie!"I screamed her name, and she released the lady. What on earth is she doing now?The lady is a very important person. She came from another country to partner with us. “What are you doing? Do you know who she is?" Cassie hissed, stepping aside angrily. “Who cares what she is? And why the hell is she in your office? She even had the guts to answer your phone. Why?"Oh great!I left my p
GRANDPA GEORGE'S POVThat day, when Raymond returned home with bad news, I had to control my fragile heart. It wasn't easy for me. I had to pretend nothing was happening to me, but deep down, only I knew what I felt. When I found out about Blair, being the heiress to my late friend's fortune, I had a change of mind instantly. Instead of forcing her to return home and stop being an independent woman, I'd rather make use of the opportunity to take over the company. Greedy?No, I ain't greedy. It's all part of the process to make one's business succeed. She is a woman, she can't run that company alone for a long time. That is where I step in.Raymond, who is her husband, will take over the company and merge it with ours.But the fool didn't even think about that. He went ahead to sign that stupid divorce paper without confronting me first. Something must be done. I'll have to do whatever it takes to make sure Blair comes back to this family. Even if someone has to leave the fa
BLAIR'S POV“Blair, do not take it to heart."Instead of me consoling him, Jeff has been the one consoling me since Raymond left. I couldn't help but break down in tears seeing Raymond acting that way.What on earth had Jeff done to him to receive that kind of ill treatment?Raymond has gone too far this time, and I will take action on it. I won't just allow him to vent his anger on Jeff whenever he wants. “Since he has already signed the papers, you should forget about him." I'll do that because I have no reason to think about him anymore. But what pained me the most was the fact that Jeff wouldn't defend himself from Raymond. It isn't like Raymond is more well-built than he is; they have the same body structure, yet Jeff wouldn't fight him back. Even though he came from a very poor family, Jeff never let anyone bully him while we were in high school.Not even Raymond and his squads. But now, he is acting so calmly. “Look at your face, Jeff, it's swollen."Jeff's right eye h
I left that company with pains piled up in my heart, not because I signed the divorce papers, but because she was so happy about it. If it was I who sent it first, she wouldn't have been so happy, she would have been crying her eyes out and cursing me.Didn't she even get the message I sent to her?I am sure she saw it because her phone was in her hands when I entered the office.Was she happy when she saw it? Or she wasn't?Why wouldn't she when she had already gotten what she wanted?A part of me believes that Blair and Jeff planned the whole thing together. They must have known that Cassie was coming to the room, that was why they deliberately left the door open for her to see them. “Where did you go?"Cassie held my hand. "I went to that company, and guess what?”"You saw them together, right?”"Yes, you got it right. Blair and Jeff were together, in her office, sitting side by side.” "Didn't I tell you? Well, that's not a new thing. Did you sign the divorce papers?”"Yes, I
RAYMOND'S POVEver since Cassie showed me the evidence of Jeff and Blair kissing in Jeff's house, my heart has been aching bitterly. I didn't believe her a week ago when she told me that because I thought Cassie was lying to me. Blair is really cheating on me, and I can never forgive her. How could she let me believe that she loves me, then leave my office to go stay under the same roof with the man she loves in disguise?This isn't adding up at all, and I wish to see her right now. “You have to let her know you've discovered her dirty secret, Ray."Cassie urged me. “What if she comes for you? She already knew you were the only one who saw them together."Cassie sighed worriedly. “I know she will definitely come for me, but I don't care since I am doing this for you. You don't deserve her, Ray; she cheated on you."Gosh!Letting her know I found out was a great idea, so without wasting time, I sent the picture and two paragraphs of message to her. When she sees it, she'll under
Even though Grandpa George assured me he was going to deal with Raymond, I knew he wouldn't come looking for me.So, taking the difficult step first is the only thing on my mind. Wouldn't it be more painful for him if I made the first move?He won't expect it, and he will be so shocked.Let him and Cassie do whatever they want to do with their lives. If Grandpa George had listened to me, I would have told him to forget about talking to Raymond. But that's fine, it won't change anything from what I want to do. “Good morning, Ms. Blair,"Just what I have been waiting for. The lawyer is here with the divorce papers. I offered him a seat then he gave me the paper. “Did you include the compensation?" I asked him just to be sure because I don't want to take anything from Raymond. The company my late grandpa left for me is doing so well, and it has made me so rich beyond my expectations. What else would I take from Raymond?Maybe in the future, he can decide to give whatever he wan
It's already been two weeks, yet Raymond hasn't said anything about what Cassie saw. Maybe she didn't tell him because she had no evidence. Or she told him, but Raymond didn't believe her. Either of the two, because I know my sister. She would have told him already. A day after the incident, I wanted to go see Cassie, but I couldn't because I was in the process of moving out of Jeff's house. Jeff didn't like that. He said I should stay for another month or two, so everything will be back to normal. However, I couldn't go with what he said.So many things have started happening between us. Besides, Mr. Smith was already in custody, so there was no need to be scared of anything.Well. My new house has been so peaceful since I moved in. It isn't so big, it is just the perfect one for not more than four people to stay. This time, I hired only two maids, a gardener, and the security man.I would have hired more, but I am afraid of what would happen again. “Ms. Blair, we are so
