Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

Blair shrugged. “Well, you see two weeks ago, we went on this vacation, which his mother had well made us go to. We kind of hard a big fight and after talking issues out, he promised to work on himself and well, that’s what he’s doing. After this, we’ve been working on ourselves, the foundation to a good relationship is friendship. We’ll see our things go from there.”

“Really?” Samantha asked still in disbelief. She had not had one conversation with Dylan since Blair got married to him, but from all the things Blair did say about him, she found it hard to believe that someone could just have a switch after one conversation.

“Yeah. He’s been really sweet, kind, patient and he hasn’t raised his voice at me since then. I mean, Samantha I couldn’t even share a bed with him before, we would always get into a fight. I don’t know, maybe all we needed to have done right at the start was talk and then things wouldn’t have been so bad. He is actually better and I’m starting to like this new Dylan.”

“What? Like?” Samantha laughed. “You’re not serious right?” Blair only smiled, sipping her drink. “Are you really like having feelings for him.”

“I didn’t say I have feelings for him Samantha… I’ve always found him attractive, I mean have you seen him? And I’m not saying I’m in love with him or anything like that, please don’t get my words wrong.”

“So, do you still plan on getting the divorce with him afterwards? I mean, you still remember that right?”

“Yeah, I do. I… I’ve chosen not to think about it. When the times reach, I’ll just go along with the flow. I’m still months away, so no reason to think about it now.” She reached her her coffee, taking a small sip, while Samantha continued to stare at her in shock.

“Oh wow, where is the Blair that spoke to me over the phone last week? I guess Dylan must have really changed to have you like this. Well, I wish you the best. So, I’ve got news for you, but, I’m not sure you will want to hear it.”

“What is it?” Blair was curious now.

“You sure? I don’t want to spoil your mood.”

Blair chuckled. “I don’t think anything can spoil my mood now, unless the news that someone died.” When Samantha didn’t say anything, Blair frowned. “Wait, no one died right, nothing happened to my parents or anyone back home right?” She was already breathing heavily.

“No, no, calm down Blair. Your parents have fine. I haven’t even visited, but we could make out time one day and go see them together. But this is quite the opposite..” She stopped, still hesitating. “It’s Richard, he’s back.”

“Eh?”

“I said Ri-”

“No, you don’t have to repeat yourself Samantha, I heard you well. I’m just… well,. I’m shocked.” Anybody was Richard. “I’m confused, he’s back?

“Same here Blair, but he is back in town and he has been asking for you. I just wanted you to know in case you run into him one day, like I did yesterday.”

“You ran into him just yesterday after you returned?”

“Yes,” Samantha nodded. “Oh, thinking about it just makes me wish I had punched his face when he approached me earlier, but there were people around and I do not want to be dragged to cell.”

Blair laughed. “What was your first reaction when you saw him?’

“Yeah, I thought it was his ghost at first, I was going to the coffee shop and there he was just stepping out, we bumped into each other… you know, you don’t look too affected by this as I thought you would.” Samantha pointed out. Being Blair’s best friend and one who was really close to her, she knew how Richard had affected Blair.

“I’m moving on Samantha, I’ve been stuck too long in that dark zone and now that I’m finally smiling and laughing again, I won’t let Richard’s return push me back to that area. I don’t even care anymore, I’m married and I have nothing to do with Richard.”

“It’s not like I don’t admire your new positive energy Blair, but aren’t you worried?” She leaned forward, her elbows on the table as she rested her head on her palm, concern written all over again.

“About what, Richard?”

“Yes. What if he decides to come look for you and he meets Dylan and uh… I don’t know, something could happen.”

“I don’t care. I wasn’t the one who left, he was the one who disappeared, not even having the guts to end our relationship facing me. Who breaks up with their partner over the phone? I mean, he couldn’t even give a reason why he was ending the relationship, just ran away.”

“Well, I’m happy you are not affected by him anymore. Come on, it’s getting dark let’s-”

“Oh, there’s Dylan’s cousin.” Blair raised her hand before he face. “I don’t want her to see me, she’s really nosy-No, don’t look.” She stopped Samantha who she could see what about to turn. “If she sees you, she sees me. I really-Fuck, here she comes.”

“Blair!” Sylvia squealed running to her. “Lord, I haven’t seen you since like the wedding day,” she said coming to a stop before Blair and leaning down to give her a kiss on the cheek. “We live in a small world don’t we? How are you doing anyways?” And before Blair could say another word, she was already taking a sit right beside her.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I’m fine, good.” Blair shrugged. “Everything’s great. Sylvia this is my best friend, Samantha. Samantha this is Sylvia, she is Dylan’s cousin.”

Sylvia turned to Samantha. “Nice to meet you.” Then back to Blair. “So how’s Dylan doing, how’s the marriage going?”

“Great. Dylan is doing good.” Blair didn’t know what exactly to say when people asked about Dylan, because she felt like when she gave her reply, they were expecting more than one sentence. “He is…” She tried to say something else, but ended up with nothing. “Good.”

“You know, I must apologize Blair. I honestly didn’t think your marriage with Dylan was going to last a month. In fact during your wedding day I was ready to bet that you wouldn’t last a day in that house with Dylan.”

“Why do you say that? Is there something terribly wrong with Dylan I don’t know about?”

“He is crazy. An asshole and has no regard for anybody but himself.”
