All Chapters of Hired for Christmas : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Blair's POV“I knew he was a golden retriever,” Clover said excitedly, “So your Grandma wants you to get married to your golden retriever fake boyfriend, how are you going to do that?”I had excused myself and came to Clover's home to chat with her after having the soup and tea Ace made. Clover's home was already decorated and ready for Christmas. My home wasn't far from Clover's home.“Ace is nice you know,” I smiled and Clover scrunched her nose.“You barely know him,” Clover gave me a reality check and sat next to me on the porch, “He could be showing you what you want to see.”“Clover,” I pouted, “These few days made me feel like I never knew Zade at all.”“Alec was right,” Clover muttered under her breath but I heard her.“What did Alec say?” My curiosity made me ask. Alec and Zade had been friends right from childhood but something happened between them and they weren't so close anymore.“Six years ago, Alec had told me to break your relationship with Zade, he said Zade wasn't r

Blair's POV“Have you decided?” Mother asked, I looked at everyone's eyes and they all avoided my eyes.What do I do now? Ace was here because of me, how could I choose between Ace and my mother?I'm thirty-one years old and still couldn't make any decisions on my own. Tears filled my eyes, if anything happened to Ace, how would I explain? I will never forgive myself.“Blair, you should think carefully about this,” Thaila said, “Your life is at stake, our mother will always forgive you but Ace doesn't know anywhere, think carefully.”I understood what she was saying but I had never gone against my mother or Grandma before. “I will send out a dispatch to look for him,” Grandma said, “He will be okay.”I nodded my head, “Thank you for choosing your mother,” Mother planted a kiss on my forehead, “Please step back and trust me.”“Why?” I muttered, before I could understand what was going on Mother took my phone from my hand, she pushed me forcefully and I fell on the floor. I stood up bu

Ace's POVEveryone in this household was crazy and at the same time caring. They cared for each other but also wanted drama.These few days have been fun, I enjoyed their laughter, their anger, and their arguments. It wasn't like a home where everyone had to live according to protocol, where we the royal family were not allowed to show each other our emotions.I was in the room when I heard Grandma's voice, she screamed and I ran to check what was making her scream. I saw Blair hanging by the window, what the fuck? How did she even get there? Without thinking twice, I ran outside to help her, and she was already falling. “ACE!!!” was the name that Blair screamed in her moment between death and life. At that moment I felt like my world would come to an end if something happened to her, I ran, caught her in my arms and we both fell to the ground. I made sure my hand protected her head from hitting the floor, “Are you okay?” I asked calmly, ignoring the pain I felt in my arm and she

Blair's POVWait what? Did the Uber driver just call Ace by his name? “That was very informal, how does he know your name? And who the fuck is Ziora?”“Fuck,” Ace muttered under his breath, “Blair…I …”“Babe, you know it, Ziora would never do that for Ace, but did they break up?” Ace paused, I looked carefully and saw he had an airpod to his ear. What was I thinking? I looked at Ace to apologize then I saw he let her a breath of relief but his face soon tensed up when the driver said, “Ziora didn't agree to break up? That's bad news for Ace, rumor has it that she might be pregnant.”“Are you okay?” I touched Ace on the shoulder, he nodded his head and smiled at me.“Sir,” Ace tapped on the driver's shoulder, “You know you shouldn't be driving and making a call.”“I'm sorry,” the driver apologized, he tapped on his airpod, he dropped his phone and airpod on the passenger seat before focusing on the road.There was something about Ace since he heard the driver's phone call, he looked l

Blair's POV“Which eyes?” Ace asked and my face reddened even more. I used my hands to cover my face.I didn't know he heard Thaila from that far, I squeezed my face at Thaila and mouthed, “How could you be that loud.”“It's nothing much, she was just looking at our Mother with love,” Thaila lied to Ace.“Sir, Mrs Thaila, I and the boys are done with it,” A man said to Ace and Thaila. He looked like he came to do some work in the house. “Sure,” Ace smiled, he brought his wallet and handed them money.“Which work did they do here?” I asked, Thaila and Ace looked at themselves with a smile on their face. They were definitely up to something.“Just some work,” Thaila said and Ace nodded his head in agreement.I don't know what it is but I sure know they were up to something.“We should go and make dinner,” Grandma said, “We have to prepare for movie night tonight.”“Ace and Blair would not be joining us for dinner and movie night,” Thaila stood up from the chair.“Why?” Mother asked wit
