CHAPTER 25
Blair was definitely astounded, he had lied to her. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes ready to spill but she kept blinking them back. She held her chest tightly as if something was trying to pull out her heart. How was he able to pretend? She thought.
The words, the affections, the intense love making and most of all the changes she saw in him, how was he able to keep the act? She kept asking herself questions that she definitely couldn’t answer even if she wanted to. Tears finally dropped one after the other without control, she had been used, like a fool.
She nearly forgot that she was going to meet him at a restaurant tonight, they had already gone far from home but she didn’t care.
All she wanted was to get out of the car and disappear, to run away from the man who caused her immense pain and suffering, the man who ripped out her heart from her chest without any mercy.
“Gav, please stop the car” she spoke, her voice was raspy from crying and she was sure that h noticed.
“Ma’am? Is everything okay? You don’t sound too good, do you need something?” He asked concerned.
“Everything is okay. Just stop the car, I need air” she needed to run away, desperately.
“Alright ma’am, I’ll just find a safe place to park.” He drove a bit further trying to find a place when he sighted a mall that had enough space to park in. He went in and parked in a corner.
“We’re parked ma’am. Should I get something for you to drink?” He asked.
“Uh yes, thank you” it was the perfect way to run from here. Immediately he left she got out of the car with her phone and purse.
Thankfully she kept some cash inside her purse, so she took a cab. She turned off her phone so that no one would be able to contact her.
The only place she could think of was Richard’s and she even remembered his address.
She knew he would help her. He would… More tears dropped from her eyes as the thought of leaving Dylan crossed her mind.
He would be devastated and she also knew that he would by all means try everything to find her once he learns she no where around.
That wasn’t her problem anymore, he used her, made fun of her and now he kicked her out of his life without a second thought.
Hurt was an understatement for how Blair felt. She felt broken, she felt tired and weak, she felt like her world had taken a turn for the worst and there was nothin she could do to change it. It was definitely Dylan in the pictures, she knew him too well, studied him.
All the positions, he’d been that way with her. He had kissed Blair the way he kissed that woman, the thought was driving Blair nuts.
She wanted to scream, she wanted to curse. Samantha was right, he was only after the inheritance, he was out to break her.
The ride to Richard’s house was about 40 minutes. The cab stopped in front of his building. She got out and found her way to his door, she knocked twice. The door opened revealing Richard.
“Blair?” He was surprised to see her in front of his house. He wasn’t expecting anyone, most of all Blair. She broke down in front of him, sobbing.
She felt so pathetic crying in from of him but she couldn’t help it.
“Hey hey, come in” he cooed as he held and led her into his house. He wondered what she was doing in his house of all places, he definitely didn’t think she would come here. He held her for a while as she cried.
He handed a tissue to clean her eyes and nose.
“I’m sorry Richard. I don’t even know why I came here, I just did. I’ll leave now.” She finally spoke standing up from where she sat with him.
“Wait Blair. It’s okay, you can stay here if you want to. Did anything happen? Why aren’t you with Dylan?” He asked sounding worried.
“I don’t know Richard. I don’t know what to say other than I and Dylan were a lie.” She told him, a tear escaping one eye which she quickly wiped.
Richard kept staring at her, he was having conversations with himself in his head. Who would have thought that Blair would say that, she was so sure that Dylan loved her. She was so confident and she even hurt him too.
A part of him wanted to punish her for loving Dylan, for hurting him, for making him beg but he couldn’t. He wanted her and that was all that mattered.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
He pulled her into a hug. “Shhh, it’s okay Blair. You don’t have to explain if you can’t, you can stay here as much as you want. Okay?” He brushed the back if her hair with hands as if petting a baby to sleep.
“Thank you Richard. I’m so sorry if this is bothering you” she apologized with a shaky voice.
“I’m not complaining am I? It’s okay, you can stay” he repeated.
Richard was happy that he was the first person she thought of. He had always wanted her to love him again and now maybe it will finally happen.
“I’ll take you to the room you’ll stay, I’ll bring you fresh clothes so that you can take a shower. Besides you look like you were on your way somewhere?” He asked.
“We were supposed to have a date today but I couldn’t bring myself to go anymore.” She told him.
He decided not to push the conversation further instead he guided her to a spare room in his apartment, thankfully he always kept it clean.
“You can stay here, I know you’re not used to something like this but please use it. I will bring you fresh clothes soon.” He gave a small smile do that she would feel more comfortable.
“Thank you Richard.” She replied trying to smile back but it faltered.
Richard left her alone in the room for a while and came back later with some fresh clothes. He put them beside her.
“Blair, you should take a shower and rest. Do you want anything? Are you hungry?” He asked with concern.
“I will. I’m alright, I’m not hungry. I’ll just go to sleep after I shower. Thank you.” She responded.
“It’s alright. Goodnight then. Let me know if you need anything in between” he told her and she gave a small nod.
He left her and she got up to lock the door with the key. Her back leaning on the door, she sank to the floor and buried her head in her legs.
Blair stayed in that position for a while before standing up and deciding to take her shower.
She just wanted to be free from the tight pain in her chest, the prick she felt each time she remembered the pictures that was sent to her phone.
She got in the bathroom, there brand new bathroom supplies inside. She brushed her teeth before taking her shower, scrubbing her body until she almost bled.
Scrubbing Dylan from her skin floated in her head, that was all she could think about, erasing him from her life completely.
By the time she turned on the hot water faucet she screamed, biting her lips in the process. Her skin was hot and red.
She turned it off and turned on the cold water, she let it calm her as it ran down her body. She stood there for a while until she felt too tired to stand.
Blair wrapped her self in a towel before stepping out of the bathroom. She quickly got dressed and turned off the light and then climbed into bed, covering herself with the blanket.
She stayed that way for a while before drifting off to sleep.
Meanwhile Dylan was still waiting for Blair at the restaurant, he wanted to ask her an important question that night. A question that would change their lives forever.
He wanted her, he is wanted her to be his forever. He smiled while staring at the ring that he made for her in it’s pouch.
Dylan had a ring specially made for her, it looked absolutely stunning in the lights. And he knew that it would suit her dainty fingers and most of all she would love it.
Although he wondered why she wasn’t here yet, he had been waiting for a while now. He was not bothered though because he sent his personal driver to bring her to him.
His phone rang in his pocket and he took it out, checking to see who was calling by this time, but he was too happy to get mad. It was Gav, finally, he smiled.
“Yes Gav, tell me-” he started but was cut short by Gav’s panicked voice.
“S-s-sir, we have a situation-” he stammered and this time Dylan cut him short.
“What is the problem Gav? Is everything okay? Is Blair alright?” He asked, he was already starting to panick. Something did not feel right, so he asked again.
“Gav, you better answer me. What is going on there?”
“Sir it’s Miss Blair, she’s gone missing.” He admitted.
Dylan couldn’t speak for a minute. Hundreds of things swarmed his head but most of all he had a question that he wanted to ask.
“What do you mean missing? How did that happen? I specifically told you to bring her because I trusted you, what is this?” He voice was dangerously calm.
“We were on our way here a some minutes ago and all of a sudden she wanted me to stop the car. She said she wanted fresh air so I parked. I went to get her something to drink but by the time I came back she was gone. Her phone is off too, I’ve been trying to call her sir. I’m sorry sir.” Gav explained.
The only thing Dylan wanted to do right now was scream to Gav for being careless but he knew he couldn’t waste his time doing that.
For all he knew she could be in danger right now, kidnapped and scared. He removed that thought from his head. Maybe she got tired and went back home to rest, maybe her battery died too, he thought.
Smart Dylan knew that those reasons made no sense. She wouldn’t just go home because she was tired, she was excited to go on the date with him.
Something must have happened and he would find out and find her.
“Damn it! You had one job Gav, just one. You know what just call the police, file a report under my name right now.” He ordered before dropping the call.
