Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

“That’s not true!” Blair snapped at Sylvia, surprising even herself. A week ago and she might have been supporting Sylvia, instead she would have added more words against Dylan. But they both have been having lot of conversations now and Blair now understood why Dylan must have ‘strongly disliked’ her in the beginning like he said. “He is not so bad.”

“You know,” Samantha finally spoke up. “I wasn’t going to say anything, but don’t you think that’s a little harsh thing to say about your own cousin.”

Sylvia didn’t look guilty at all. “I don’t think it is, if it’s the truth.”

“Hold on, so you don’t even care at all? How jobless must you have been to work all the way here just to badmouth your own cousin?” Samantha cussed. “Did Dylan do something in the past? Something I don’t know of?”

She didn’t give a reply to Blair, which to Samantha and instead faced Blair instead. “Did they tell you about Clara?” Samantha let out a cuss when she saw Samantha was ignoring her. “I’m sure he told you all about her?

“Eh? Who is Clara, an ex girlfriend?”

“You can call her that. They were going out for awhile till Dylan broke her heart. He didn’t just break it, he stump on it, till the shards were looking like cereal flakes.” Blair bit her lips from laughing at the silly simile. What she wouldn’t understand was why Sylvia cared so much. Any other person would be happy to see that there cousin was finally settling, but Sylvia seemed to be nothing but disturbed. “I mean, I don’t see why you are still with him, I would have expected that you would run away since.”

“I don’t know who Clara is, and I can’t judge till I have heard Alex’s part of the story. Couples break up, and yes the one still attached would get heartbroken, but it doesn’t make the other person a monster. Dylan must have had his reasons on why he chose to end things with Clara.”

“Oh.” Sylvia sighed palming her head. “I knew coming here was a mistake, you’re so stubborn. Can’t you just listen?”

“Excuse me?” Samantha spoke up again. “Please don’t speak to my friend like that. Sorry she chose not to listen to your stupid talk, just how naive do you think she is?”

“I wasn’t speaking to you.”

“No, but I’m here. I’m listening, and I’m Blair’s best friend. I don’t care if you direct your talk to me or not, I’m part of this conversation.”

“Also, what did you mean by ‘coming here’ was a mistake’? Did you follow us here?”

“That doesn’t matter.” She gave a sweet smile and looked back at Blair. Blair couldn’t help but feel disgusted and crept out by Sylvia’s attitude. She was now revealing who she really was, behind the fake niceness and sweet tones. “Anyways, i hate to break it to you, but Dylan doesn’t really love you. He is just with you because of the inheritance. It was the reason be rushed to get married, not because of you.”

“Inheritance what are talking about?” Blair’s hand was really itching to land a slap on Sylvia’s face. “What’s special about this inheritance and whose inheritance is it? Who is going to inherit it? What does that have to do with the relationship between Dylan and I?”

“I have said too much,” she stood up. “When you get home to your lovely husband. You can ask him all about this, especially about Clara, let’s see if he denies knowing her. If he does, you can come meet me and I’ll tell you the whole story. It was nice meeting you anyways, see you later.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Hopefully not,” Blair muttered.

“I don’t like her,” Samantha said after she had left. “Anybody who can talk about their own family like that, they are not to be trusted.”

“I know right. Though what do you think she meant by Inheritance and who is Clara?”

“Maybe you should do as she said and ask Dylan, here what he has to say about it first. It’s probably nothing serious though, she seems like the type that just loves causing trouble.”

“Really? She approached you to say all that?” He asked after she had told him all about her encounter with Sylvia. “I knew she was determined, but I didn’t think she would go that far, approaching you because of the stupid inheritance.

“Yeah, she said I should ask you and hear what you have to say about Clara and the inheritance.” Blair shrugged. “She talked about a couple of other things and did call you names.” Blair chuckled. “No offense, but your cousin is kind of uh… crazy.”

“Believe me when I say most of my relatives are.” He sighed, walking over to Blair, he placed his arms gently on her shoulders. “Clara was my ex, we dated for awhile back then and Sylvia somehow got the idea that I was only dating Clara because of the inheritance. When Clara found out about this, she thought I was using her, and she ended the relationship.”

“What inheritance are you talking about? The word has been flying around, and if Clara ended things with you because of it, don’t you think I should know?”

“You don’t know about the inheritance?”

“No, I really do not know what you’re talking about.”

“The whole wedding, the reason my parents wanted us to get married so bad, you weren’t told?” Blair shook her head, she was lost. She had thought his parents just wanted them married because they were just for public views. “My Grandfather, the one who built the organization. In his will, he stated the one who will be in charge is his first grandson, me. I just have to get married and If don’t after a few years, it’s to be passed to the person after me. That’s my parents were in a hurry to get me wedded to you. Luckily for them, your father owed them money, it made it easier… I thought you already knew this?”

“No,” Blair whispered. “I didn’t know… so, you got married to me only because of the inheritance?”

“Blair-”

“I need to go rest.”
