CHAPTER 39
Blair laughed.
“What are you doing Dylan?” She asked him as she dug into the bag of food.
“Trying to get you to eat,” he said.
“Really now? I was going to eat y’know. Besides, this was my idea” she said.
” Ha ha” Dylan faked a laugh.
Dylan turned on the tv and put it on Netflix. After much argument they finally agreed on a movie.
They both ate as they watched the movie.
Halfway into the movie they already finished their food. Dylan held Blair in his arms and he kept playing with her hair.
“Dylan?” Blair called.
“Yes my love” he answered.
“Do you think they have a motive for what they did?” She asked.
“If they didn’t have a motive they would have done what they did. Finding out their motive could also help us” Dylan assured.
“I see, I wonder what it could be,” she thought.
They relaxed on the couch for a while. Blair fell asleep and Dylan carried her into their bedroom. He laid her on the bed and covered her with the blanket, he kissed her head.
“I love you” he whispered.
Blair mumbled and he chuckled. Thankfully he was able to finish his work early. He wanted to check up on her in the room when he heard her talking to someone.
He couldn’t make out who she was talking to until he realized it was Samantha.
Blair was clearly scared, she tried to speak carefully and calmly at the same time so that Samantha wouldn’t suspect anything.
He sighed. Dylan just couldn’t wait to get everything over with.
He wanted his wife to feel safe, to go outside alone without being scared. Now he could not leave her alone.
He got into bed beside her and drew her close to him gently. He wrapped his arms around her and covered them both with the big blanket, the air con unit was turned on.
Dylan soon slept alongside Blair.
The next morning they were still asleep. They slept till noon, Dylan rarely slept long like that but that day he did.
Blair made him do things that he had never done in his life, but it didn’t bother him because those things changed his life.
Blair was still asleep by the time Dylan woke up. And he only woke up because he wanted to use the bathroom. He enjoyed his sleep and wanted to go back but he also needed to work.
He kissed her forehead and left her in bed.
While in his office his phone rang and it was his father.
Oh God, he sighed and threw the phone on his table.
He didn’t have the time or strength to argue with his father and he did not want to sound disrespectful as well, so it was better for him to ignore his calls for now.
He received lots of emails from his secretary and some of his partners concerning the production and sales unit. It seemed like someone was copying their products. They had some issues in their division and he had to put everything on hold for the new project he was working on.
As he read the emails, it gave him a headache immediately. He specifically warned the board to let him know if something like that happened. But they didn’t. They had the issue for quite a while now and they did not feel the need to tell him.
And now it caused a ruckus, he was sure his father knew about it now and that’s why he called.
“Useless!” He screamed and banged the table.
Meanwhile Blair woke up and as usual felt the space beside her for her husband but he wasn’t there.
She yawned loudly and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She looked up to check the time and saw that it was noon already.
“Woah, how did I sleep till now?” She asked herself.
Blair brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth.
She knew where Dylan was and so she went there.
This time she didn’t knock on his door. She just opened it and went inside. He was truly buried in work.
“Dylan?” She called him but he didn’t reply. He didn’t even seem to know that she came inside.
He was truly engrossed, she thought.
She went behind him and started to massage his shoulders.
“Uhmmm” he moaned.
“Dylan, I’ve been calling your name. You didn’t even know when I came in” she told him.
“I’m sorry Blair, I just have a lot of work to do” Dylan explained.
“It’s okay but don’t you think you’re working too much? You’re here always” she said.
He pulled her to sit on his lap, her hands rested on his shoulders.
“Blair, I’m okay. It’s something I signed up for yeah? I knew what it would cost me before I agreed to do it. And I’m sorry if it’s affecting you too, one thing I’ll promise you now is that this huge pile of work will reduce soon” he gently and calmly explained to her, even though he was battling on the inside.
Dylan wasn’t the type to alarm people, especially Blair. He knew that telling her would make her worry more and he couldn’t risk it.
He thought about telling his father about the case with Richard and Samantha but that was something he wanted to do on his own. His father wouldn’t waste time pinning something on them to use as evidence but he decided not to go down that path anymore.
He loved his wife and wanted to genuinely protect her from harm and those that will cause it. And he decided to do it righteously.
Blair looked into his eyes, those shiny orbs that pulled her into their depths until she lost herself. She stroked his cheeks and rested her head in his.
“Dylan, I’m sorry too. I know a part of this is my fault. Please never hesitate to tell me if you ever need my help. Please my love” she pleaded.
His heart swelled for this woman right here. This beautiful woman that sat on his lap.
How did he ever mistreat someone like this? He asked himself.
This woman was to be treated like the true queen that she really is. And that was his goal forever.
“Alright baby. I promise to tell you, okay?” He said
She gave a slight nod and smiled.
“How about I make your favorite coffee?” She asked.
Dylan groaned in pleasure.
“Yesss baby yess, I miss that. How can I not want that? I fucking missed your coffee so bad honey” he smiled back.
“Alright then. I will make you a cup right away” she made to stand up from his lap but he pulled her back down and kissed her immediately before she got away again.
“Dylan!” She squealed. He laughed.
“It’s nice to see you all hot and bothered,” he laughed.
“I hate you Dylan, just so you know” she feigned anger.
“Aww I’m sorry love” he tried to hide his laughter.
She walked towards the door and twisted the knob, not before she stuck her tongue out at him.
“Heyy” he whined.
She smirked and shut the door.
“Oh Blair, this woman is something else alright” he said to himself while he laughed.
Blair went to the kitchen to make his special coffee. The only thing special about it was that she only made it for Dylan.
She sang and danced a little while she made it. Her phone vibrated on the counter, she checked it and saw that she received a message.
‘Blair, I was hoping that we could talk. Samantha doesn’t know that you found us out already and I also hope you haven’t told Dylan anything. I will send you an address. Come there tomorrow by 4pm. Do not be late.’
The message was from Richard. Fear gripped her as she read it, it was as if they both watched her somehow.
She would tell Dylan about it later, he was busy and she did not want to bother him.
She kept her phone in her back pocket and took his coffee to him.
“One cup of Blair’s special coffee coming right up” she announced.
“Ouuuuu. Thank you baby” he said to her and hit her ass when she moved closer.
“Oww, Dylan!” She screeched and held her butt.
He gave her a knowing look as he drank his coffee.
“Hmmm. This is just what I need” he cooed.
“Should I make you lunch? Anything? Tell me, I’ll make it for you” she stated and asked him.
“Hmmm. Actually I am quite hungry, but I want to go halfway through this before I eat” he answered.
“Okay then. I’ll come back to check up on you, let me know what I should make then. Okay?” She asked him.
“Alright, you should go rest Blair. I’ll join you later and I’ll eat as well” he said.
She walked over to him and or ked his lips before she left.
As Blair walked back to the room, she asked herself if it was a good idea to tell Dylan about the text message from Richard.
She also thought that it would be useful in the investigation.
Blair was bored out of her mind, she did not know what to do with her free time. And she wanted to do something aside from reading a book. She thought of arranging her closet but she wasn’t sure.
Blair decided to take a long bath so she took a bath first and then made up her mind to actually arrange her wardrobe and Dylan’s too.
She kept herself busy throughout the afternoon. Dylan was still working, she checked the time and gasped, it was past 4.
Dylan wasn’t done working and he still had not eaten.
She went back to his office to scold him.
“Dylan? My God, it’s late. Please let me make you something?” She begged.
Dylan’s eyes were red and he looked very stressed.
“Alright Blair, I’m tired anyways” he said and got up from his chair.
“Blair-” he called but he stumbled before he could finish his sentence.
“Dylan!” She screamed and ran to his side to help him up.
“My head hurts Blair,” he confessed.
Dylan suddenly felt weak when she left his office the second time. His head pounded in his skull. His stomach hurt, his whole body included.
“You seem to have a fever Dylan. When did this start? You were fine earlier” she asked him, panicked.
“I’m fine Blair, it’s just a headache” he steadied himself on the ground.
“Come with me” she led him to their bedroom and made him lay down.
“Do you think you’re superman? You’ve been working for days now and you’re sure to be drained. Please rest for my sake” she pleaded.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes ma’am” he answered.
“I’ll make your lunch now okay?” She said,
He gave a slight nod.
“I’ll be back soon” she told him and then left the room to the kitchen.
Blair made a bowl of hot chicken soup for him because he was feverish already. She took it to the room.
“Hey” he called.
“I made your favorite soup,” she told
him.
