After Raymond left, the whole place sank into silence before the snickers continued.

“Typical poor girl latching onto a rich man.”

“It seems the Young Master isn't in love with her.”

“What a pity. She thinks she'll become the future matriarch.”

“Matriarch my foot. She must work hard first to keep her position as Mrs. Reece.”

I glared in the ladies’ direction, but it didn't stop them from gossiping.

Grandpa George watched Raymond's back with a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He then turned to me.

“Don't mind him. He's mad because Grandpa scolded him for you last night.”

That, I thought.

Well, Raymond isn't only mad because of Grandpa George scolding him.

He hates me, and I know.

Staring at my food blankly, I suddenly lost the appetite to eat.

The sight of the boiled crab alone had my stomach churning, causing me to lose balance.

I sprang to my feet, my eyes darting around for the nearest washroom.

“Ha! Can't bear the humiliation, Mrs. Matriarch?”

“I bet she's gone to be

After all, Cassie and Raymond love each other while I'm the third wheel.But if I don't teach my sister a lesson this way, will she stop bothering my life?Who knows, she might do something worse to me in the future.“You're only wasting your time.” She smirked, moving her wheelchair forward. “Raymond will never look at you, he has said it himself. Didn't you hear?”Well, I didn't specifically hear that, but it is evident from the way he rejected me.Sighing inside, my palm subconsciously wandered to my belly before I quickly dropped it.Is this revenge worth it?I keep asking myself the same question. I could go away, tend to my heartbreak, and focus on taking care of myself and my baby. I would be saved from the emotional damage of witnessing Raymond shower his love on my sister.

    Blair’s POVFor a moment, I thought he was faking it in order to get me to leave the room. But an adult couldn't possibly play that silly game, right?“Ray! Raymond!” I called out to him, shaking his heavy frame. He didn't move. Dread settled in my stomach, and my fingers trembled, the sight of the unconscious man making me imagine horrible scenarios in my head.Has he been sick?If not, why would he faint out of nowhere? Sprinkling water on his face didn't work to wake him up. My loud screams alone has alerted all the servants nearby.The bodyguards came and took him to the car. The whole mansion was in chaos when everyone heard about it. “Are you sure you didn't notice anything strange with him?” Grandpa George took me to a corner and asked while we paced in the hospital’s emergency room’s hallway.“Strangely, I didn't, Grandpa.” Wiping my tears, I shook my head.No, I'm not faking it. The thought of Raymond lying there with his condition unknown is devastating. Surely, he's

    I'm supposed to be used to my sister switching personalities by now, but every time she does this, it disgusts me. Right!I can't argue myself out of this!Literally, Raymond and Cassie are the innocent protagonists whose love for each other has surpassed the heavens, while I'm the wicked villain who would stop at nothing to disturb their perfect relationship. I sighed and turned around, ignoring Cassie's words, fearing that if I spent another minute here, things might not look good. Coming out of the VIP Ward, I headed into the elevator which took me to the second floor. My Dad has been admitted in this hospital as well. I can't come and go without seeing him. Recently, I've been so caught up in Raymond and Cassie’s drama that I barely have the time to visit him. Recalling last night when I was about to visit him and then Raymond came and interrupted, I sighed. Before I reached the ward, my father was admitted; commotions came from that area. ‘What happened?’Curiosity took o

    I paused, watching as he gradually regained his senses.Hearing the first word coming from him, my heart throbbed with a sudden sadness that made me clench my fists. How ironic was it that Cassie's was the first name he remembered the moment he woke up. “Dad, it's me… Blair,” I answered, rubbing his hand gently while trying to keep my voice calm. Yet, my father's response struck me hard once more.“Blair? Where's Cassie? Is your sister here?”I shook my head. Why does he ask about Cassie so desperately? I'm here, yet, he doesn't look a bit delighted. I would believe he's still trying to cope with the reality that's why, but realizing that Cassie isn't here, he looked very sad. “Go and get her, Blair. I want to see her.”I pursed my lips, suppressing the sudden sadness inside me. “Why, Dad? Aren't you happy to see me?”But my father frowned. He tried to sit up but failed. Giving me an almost-irritated look the way he usually did whenever I threw my tantrums, he sighed. “Stop ac

    What!?I blinked at the old man.I parted my lips, but shock allowed no words to form.What am I hearing?“A wise bum would wait until she gives birth to two or more heirs before eliminating the husband.”“But you can't wait to get rid of Raymond, Blair. Didn't you think about the punishment for your crime before trying this?”“If Raymond has died, do you think that you would be given a penny from his wealth in this condition when you're barren?”Lana, Matilda, and Betty.They couldn't keep their mouths shut.Ever since I entered, those words had been registered on their faces and they couldn't wait to spill them out.Overwhelmed by the shock and disbelief, I glanced from the family to Grandpa George, wishing my ears were tricking me.“I thought you were unlike the other girls.” Grandpa George sighed. “I always believed that you loved my grandson.”I gulped!Damnit!Why are they accusing me out of nowhere?Did the old man even do a proper investigation?Who was that damned servant tha

Great!Just great!I have died without getting to carry out my revenge plan.Raymond and Cassie won. It would be a miracle if I had survived that intense hunger. Grandpa George was going to leave me to rot there.

I've faced enough suffering already.Losing my mother before I could barely talk, getting bullied all my life by my sister, and my father choosing Cassie over me.

    But what about our baby? Will I be doing myself good by leaving at this moment? Cassie will celebrate, and she’ll think she has won. Raymond, on the other hand, will be over the moon thinking he has gotten rid of the thorn in his path, me. “Would you?”Jeff’s question broke me out of my reverie. He looked as though he was expecting me to say yes to his question. Even though I want to, there’s no way I could let Cassie and Raymond win this battle. I chose this path, knowing fully that I might win it in the end. I can’t just allow my evil, manipulative sister to get whatever she wants anymore. She has already taken everything away from me, she has made my life a living hell. Worse, she took away the last person I looked forward to interacting with again, my own father. How then should I let Cassie win? She’ll definitely pay for all she did and is still doing to me. “Jeff?” I called, sighing inside. Jeff won’t be happy with what I am about to say, but I have no other choice.

    I'd totally forgotten Grandpa wanted to see me at his apartment until he sent a maid to call me. “Since you claimed you didn't divorce her, then why didn't you go after her when she left the house?" Grandpa asked, looking at me suspiciously. What would I say?I am just a fool. I wanted to go after her, to bring her back two days after she left, but Cassie kept telling me to leave Blair alone. She said Blair was just upset and she would come back by herself And yes, I believed what she said and ignored Blair even though I knew where she was Alicia told me so. "I am listening.” Oh, yes. "I thought giving her some time to reflect on herself would be better.”"And you think she will return to this house by herself?” I nodded my head and he laughed. " Indeed, you don't know the way of women. You see, your carelessness made her decide to be an independent woman.”He shook his head. "If I knew Blair was my Friend's granddaughter, I would have taken good care of her."“But you al

But no, she chose to humiliate me.“Raymond!"Oh God!Just what I have been running away from. “Where is Raymond?"Grandpa screamed my name from the living room. I was inside the study room and I could hear him clearly. “Where is that dumb boy?"As I stood up from the chair to answer his call, he kicked the door open with his leg and came in supporting himself with his walking stick. “So you've been hearing my voice, but have refused to come out, right?"“Grandpa, I…"“Spare me the trash!"He threw a paper at me.“What is wrong with you, Raymond? When did you start acting on your own without telling me fi

  • Messed With The Wrong Heiress    74. Picking up a broken heart. 

    It has been almost two weeks since I moved out of Raymond's house and I can say it was the best decision I made so far. I now have peace of mind, doing things I love, and eating the things I like. Back at Raymond's, I was only allowed to take certain foods because I was pregnant.But here, I eat what I crave all the time.If I knew my life outside Reece's mansion would be this great, I would have left for a very long time now. But no, I couldn't leave because of a man. Funny.I haven't stepped out of the mansion ever since I arrived, I am always inside the house, walking around, sleeping, eating, and playing games with my P. A and some other maids. They are all lovely, running to my every call, and keeping me company all the time.But I am being careful not to allow anyone so close to my life as I did with Alicia. I don't want another heartbreak anymore. Alicia has taught me a great lesson, never to trust anyone again. Since I moved in here, the P. A had wanted me to tell him

    Was that what she was telling him inside the car? He doesn't even care that Cassie was talking to me that way.Raymond opened the door for Cassie and she entered the car, giving me a mocking look. Then he proceeded to the driver's side and sped off from there, leaving me in the street. I was frozen, shocked that Raymond could do that to me. “Ma'am?"I took in a deep breath and then returned to the car. Raymond doesn't care about my feelings anymore.He thinks everything is happening because of me. He now believes I have another guy in my life who is not him.I can't take it any longer. If he won't listen to me now, who knows what will happen in the future?He can come get his child in the future, but for now, I'd rather leave him than see him with Cassie every day. “Give me my phone." Alicia reached for the phone inside the bag and handed it over to me. I dialed my P. A number, put it on speaker and placed the phone on my thigh while holding the steering wheel with both of m

    “Ma'am?"Alicia called again with a shaky voice. I ignored her, thinking she was going to ask another question or say something that Cassie was hiding things from me. I am done talking about Cassie; I just want to focus on one thing: how to make Raymond understand the person who sent the gift is trying to ruin our relationship. “Ma'am?"Alicia called again, this time, she tapped my arm. I turned to her direction, trying not to get angry at her. “Look over there." She pointed to our right, where other cars were parked, too, because of traffic. What could she have seen that'll make her that scared? I followed her finger, and there, inside a black jeep, was Raymond. He wasn't alone in the car, someone was there with him. That person can't be a guy, Raymond is doing the driving by himself.So he left the house?I didn't even know that. I thought he was in his study room or rather, Grandpa George's apartment. And who is that sitting in the passenger seat?It's a lady. “Alicia,

    Whoa!I didn't even think about that. Cassie is the number one person that would try this shit with me. I won't be surprised if she was the one that sent this over just so Raymond and I would have a misunderstanding.“You are absolutely correct, Alicia. Cassie has a hand in this." “What are you going to do now, ma'am?"“I'll go meet her."I picked up my phone and dialed Cassie's number. I'm not even scared of her anymore. I don't care if she'll do anything to me out there or not, all I want from her is the truth.She must confess to doing this and I'll record her voice. I know Cassie won't deny if she was the one that sent it over, she always says whatever she does to me to my face. “Where are you?" I asked her, gesturing to Alicia to pick up the basket. “What's the big surprise, sis?"I hate her annoying voice. “Just tell me where you are and I'll be there."“Wow! Sounds like we'll be having fun today." Cassie chuckled softly. “Uptown,"Uptown?What took her there?She do
