Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

It was the first dinner that they had that they enjoyed and did not have to stress to get it. While Donna was away, they had to either order or Blair would cook something for them.

Blair was a good cook and she did cook for Dylan a lot but sometimes she needed a break. They both enjoyed the dinner so much.

“You should go to bed now. Or is there something that you both need?” She asked them.

“No, no. I’m going to bed now. I need to sleep.” Blair yawned loudly.

“Goodnight, Donna. Thank you once again for dinner.” She greeted her.

“Goodnight, ma’am. Goodnight, sir.”

“Why the strange formality? Anyways goodnight, Donna.” Dylan chuckled.

They walked, hand in hand to their bedroom. Dylan teased Blair about how wide she opened her mouth when she yawned.

Donna watched them leave with a smile on her lips. She remembered how they were just a few months ago. How they didn’t like the sight of each other and now they were in love. Sometimes she found it hard to believe that Dylan could love one woman.

She knew her boss and she knew his ways of using women. But he seemed so different from Blair. She was the only person that could capture him and hold him hostage.

Everything became different when Blair came.

He was a changed man. Even the way he spoke to people changed, the way he reacted to situations changed as well.

It was as if he was a new person.

“Leave me alone, Dylan.” She pushed him.

Dylan laughed like a maniac.

“You are so mean. Isn’t she, Donna?” He asked her.

“Oh well.” They both laughed.

“You see? Even Donna knows you’re evil.”

“Shut up.”

She jumped on his back and gave him soft blows.

“We’re on the stairs, Blair. You’ll get us both killed!” He screamed.

She jumped down and ran up the stairs.

“You started it.” She blew a raspberry at him.

“You are such a kid.” He chuckled.

She laughed.

“Like you.” She replied.

They finally got to their room after playing on the way the whole time.

Blair stripped immediately and went to take a shower. Dylan was on his phone, talking to a client or his office.

Blair came out in just a few minutes and applied her skin products to her face.

She mostly used them at night because everywhere would be cold and chilly. Not that it wouldn’t be during the day but the night was cooler. It helped her skin moisturize better.

She took out a big tee-shirt from her closet and wore it.

“Big tee shirt tonight huh?” Dylan smirked.

“Get those stupid ideas from your head because I’m tired and I wanna rest so bad.”

Dylan laughed.

“What did I do? I was just saying, “you are being unnecessarily defensive.” He snorted.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Whatever, just don’t think about doing anything stupid or annoying. I will end you.” She threatened.

“Woah. Fine, jeez.”

Blair turned to the other side of the bed while Dylan sat up. He worked on his laptop until he could no longer keep his eyes open.

Blair had already fallen asleep. So he just turned off his laptop and got up to take a shower.

It was a hot day and so he couldn’t go to sleep without taking a shower, otherwise, he would be uncomfortable.

After his shower, he changed into his PJs and laid beside Blair.

He remembered her last words but it didn’t matter to him, he pulled her until she spooned him. In just seconds, Dylan drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~

Richard thought that he should tell Blair the truth. One thing he knew was that Samantha was hiding something from him and she lied to him.

He knew he wouldn’t get anything from what she was doing, so why keep doing it? He thought to himself.

Samantha was selfish and greedy, he knew it right from the start. The only person that couldn’t see it was Blair.

He didn’t blame her though. She didn’t have friends, she barely did. No one wanted to be friends with her because of her status and she also didn’t want friends.

Blair’s family was well to do, she didn’t need anything from anybody. She had everything but she never let it get to her head. She was a contented person and that was one of the things that drew him close to her.

At first, he wanted her because of her family’s money but then he began to like her. Blair could draw people close but she never wanted anyone that close.

It was so sad that the few people she opened her heart to, betrayed her. He started to feel bad for what he did.

He knew she’d be hurt but there wasn’t much that he could do.

He realized that he had gone far with Sam and could never have Blair. Anyone that knew Blair would agree, all except her so-called best friend. He thought that he could at least save her from the person she called her friend.

Richard sat in his office that morning, deep in thoughts. He couldn’t work or do anything productive. He thought of ways to save Blair.

Telling her the truth would help, he thought. And then he would probably run away, leave the country and never return.

He was ruining Dylan’s life and not Blair’s. Just that it would affect her also, including her parents.

Richard made up his mind, he just needed the right plan.

~~~~~

Blair got up early to do her usual workout. Dylan left for his office very early in the morning. He woke her up with morning kisses before he left.

After her workout, she went to the kitchen to make her detox smoothie.

Donna was in the process of preparing breakfast.

“Good morning, Donna.” She greeted Donna when she saw her in the kitchen. She was breathing heavily.

“Good morning, Blair. I made your smoothie.” The older woman greeted her back.

“Gosh! Thank you so much. How did you know about my smoothie? It’s only Dylan-”

She spotted something on the fridge, like a sticky note.

“Mr Lancaster wrote down the instructions to make your smoothie. It says you need it every 2 days.”

“Oh! Yeah, I see it. That man, who knew he would be sweet.” She laughed.

Donna laughed too.

“Anyways, thank you, Donna. I appreciate the help.”

Blair took a seat on the counter stool while she sipped her smoothie with a straw.

“Mr Lancaster is a very kind man, it just took you too long to see it. And it’s not your fault, I don’t blame either of you.”

“Yeah, I know. I don’t blame us either. I don’t blame anyone now. I love my husband and I’m proud of

him.”

“And you should be.” Donna smiled.

Blair finished her smoothie and rinsed the cup.

“I’ll be upstairs, I have to take a bath.”

“Alright but please come down for breakfast when you’re done.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Blair ran up the stairs and into her room to take her bath.

After her bath, she did her morning skincare routine. She wouldn’t have done it but she had sweated a lot and her pores might have been blocked by dirt and sweat. So she had to do it.

Blair felt that she should pick out a nice sundress.

So she picked out a light dress to wear. It was a short, brown, cotton dress that was flair. She felt free whenever she wore it. It had tiny straps for the arms and the back was exposed.

Dylan got her the dress during one of his trips.

It was one of her favorite dresses. Especially the ones she wore at home.

The weather was pretty warm, the sun was out and the soft breeze blew the curtains gently.

She picked up her phone to check the time and it was past 12 already.

Blair let down her hair and rubbed her serum on the scalp. She massaged it into her scalp well until she was satisfied. Then she dropped another oil mixture into her palms and rubbed them together, then she massaged it in her hair.

And then she brushed it and tied it in a ponytail. Blair had long and luscious hair, she took care of them with great care. And oftentimes she got compliments from random people.

Even Dylan encouraged the way she took care of it. Sometimes he even got her the products she used for it.

One time, Blair did promotions for a company that produced hair treatments and products.

She was given a one-year contract to be an ambassador for them.

And even now she still got people that wanted her to help them promote their products.

Blair sighed deeply and smiled. She was satisfied with her look.

As she was about to leave for the kitchen, her phone rang. She picked it up from her bed and saw that it was Dylan’s mom that was calling.

She picked up the call.

“Good afternoon ma’am.” She greeted her.

“Good afternoon my dear. And no, not ma’am. We talked about it, remember, it’s either you call me mom or Martha.” The woman complained.

Blair chuckled.

“I’m sorry, Martha.”

“So you can’t call me mom?”

Blair laughed.

“What do you want exactly?” Blair asked.

The woman laughed, the rich sound filled her ears.

“Nothing my dear, as long as you don’t call me ma’am.”

“Sure. How are you?”

“I’m very well, my dear. And you?

“I’m good. How is Mr Lancaster?”

“Oh, he’s fine. Being the grump that he is.” She chuckled.

Blair laughed.

“I called to say hello because I haven’t heard from you and Dylan. I hope he’s okay? And I hope he isn’t stressing you?” She asked.

“Thank you, mom. Yeah, he’s okay and I’m fine too.”

Blair’s mind quickly switched to the contract, it had already expired and they had not made any plans to rectify the issue and close the contract.

With everything that happened, they forgot about the contract. Blair was sure that if Martha hadn’t called, then she wouldn’t have remembered it.

“Alright, my dear. I hope you make up your mind to invite us to dinner.”

“Uh, I guess I’ll think about it,” Blair said.

“Okay then, I have to go now. Duty calls.”

“Alright, Martha, bye.”

The woman dropped the call.

Blair gave a long sigh and made a mental note to talk to Dylan about it, later.

Blair took her phone and left the room. She went downstairs and headed towards the kitchen.

Donna had already left but she kept Blair’s food in glass platters.

Blair removed the cover and took her food to the dining room to eat.

It wasn’t like breakfast, it was more of a breakfast and lunch meal.

She ate her food heartily and cleaned the plates in the sink when she was done.

Blair opened the fridge and poured herself a glass of juice.

Then she went to the bookshelf in the living room and took out a book to read.

She sat on the couch and read the book while she sipped her juice.

The living room was airy because the windows were and the sun rays filled it. She didn’t want to switch on the lights because there was no need.

The room needed air sometimes and not air conditioning. Most times, the aircon was turned on. No one opened the windows to let air in so she felt she should open it.

Blair was so engrossed in her book that she almost knocked down her drink in laughter.

She laughed out loud when she needed to and she became emotional when she read a few pages.

Blair didn’t know when the time had gone.

She kept reading until it was past 3. Her phone rang on the table, she checked and saw that it was Dylan.

“Shit, I haven’t called this man today!” She exclaimed and picked up the call.

“Blair? What’s up? Everything okay?” He asked.

“Dylan, I’m so sorry that I haven’t called you today. I was so engrossed in a book. I’m okay, everything is okay. How are you? How is your work going?” She asked.

Dylan chuckled.

“It’s nice to hear you so nervous and flustered.” He laughed.

“Haha.” She faked a laugh.

“Anyway, I’m okay. Work is tiring, the usual stuff.”

Dylan told her about everything that happened at the office.

“Oh wow, so everyone was happy to see you back then. I’m sure they missed your continuous nagging and evilness.” She laughed.

“Says the evil witch herself.” He laughed.

“Shut up.” She muttered.

“How was your day?”

“It wasn’t so terrible. Your mom called. She almost fought me because I called her ‘ma’am’!”

“Woah, I can imagine.” He chuckled.

“Yeah, and she expects us to invite her for dinner. So think of a day that you’d be free so that we can all have dinner.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Yeah. Oh, and I didn’t know you wrote down instructions for my detox smoothie. You are so sweet, thank you.” She grinned.

“Yes I did and you’re welcome.”

“When will you be back home?” She asked him.

“I should be back by 8 or before then.” He answered.

“Alright. Is there anything in particular that you want to eat tonight?”

“Uh, I’m not sure. No.”

“Are you sure? Wanna think about it?”

“Okay sure, I’ll think about it.”

“Okay but please think quickly so that I can make it on time, yeah?”

“Yes, mom.”

“Whatever.” She chuckled.

“I have to go now. I’ll call you soon, bye. I love you.”

“Alright, I love you too, bye.”

She dropped the call and went back to her book.

Blair fell asleep on the couch after a few minutes of reading.
