Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

Blair was still trying to make sense of it all. Sitting all alone in the now empty living room, she was staring into space, as what she had just learned was still a shock to her. Dylan had left her in the living room so he could go brew coffee for her to drink. Somehow she wished he was with her right now because of the thoughts rushing through her mind, and somehow she was glad she didn’t see his face at the moment because she had doubted him. In all honesty, if anyone had told her that this would happen, she would have said it so plainly with everything in her that it was a lie. But as some would say, “you should never trust people to that extent”.

But Samantha was different. They had been best friends for over ten years. They had watched each other grow, gotten into trouble for each other, and even had plans for how their weddings would be. It was safe to even say that they had spent more than half of their lives forever. Somehow she felt like she should just barge into Richard’s apartment, hold him by his shirt and really question him till he said it was a lie. How could Sam? How could her sister?

It didn’t really make sense that Sam would want to betray her like this. There was no reason to– or was there? They were like sisters in fact. Blair could still remember how they had met years ago. They were in middle school and she had stood up for Sam against some bullies who were trying to give her a “cleanse from her sorrowful life” according to them. They had bathed her in a horrible mixture of liquids she was not even sure of. Being the social butterfly then, she did not let them get away with it. After she had interrupted them, she had taken Sam over to the bathroom, gotten her cleaned up, and given her a talk on how no one should ever trample on her.

The both of them grew real close after that, sharing

their meals at school together. Blair had been the outspoken one right from when they were younger, and Sam had been the calm and collected one. This didn’t seem like something a person with Sam’s character could do. She trusted Sam with her life. Weren’t these kind of stories only in the movies? It felt so unreal. Why would Samantha try to break up her marriage? Why would Sam want to hurt her? After all they had been through? After their whole life together. Then again, people also said that the quiet ones were the most dangerous.

Despite all this, would Richard have lied about it? He really had no reason to. He had no reason to set Samantha up. If this was really true, then Samantha had hurt her. She had really done what she never thought was possible.

So there it was, she had been stabbed at the back by the one person she had called a sister.

Gosh

She felt so used. She felt so horrible. Not only had she been hurt, she had also hurt Dylan herself. She had so blindly believed that Dylan had betrayed her. She was on the brink of tears. She wasn’t sure it was because of the hurt or the anger. Was this some sort of payback for not trusting him? Finding out that her best friend had betrayed her?

She felt so bad. A thousand thoughts were running through her mind. Did she really deserve it? Had she treated Sam badly in any way? Had Sam been angry about something to have done this? Had the friendship between her and Sam been a lie? Did Sam really consider her a friend at all?

Whatever the reason, Sam had no right. She had been through a lot because of Sam for her to have done this. They had been through so much for them to be think evenly of each other.

Blair rubbed her temples. She felt a wave of emotions rushing in– anger, sadness and even frustration. This hit hard like a ton of bricks. She just had to be the one they saw as stupid. Richard had played her and Samantha had been in on it too. They must have seen her as vulnerable. This wasn’t the first time that had happened. A lot of people had taken advantage of the fact that she trusted people too easily. It started with her friends back in high school who took her niceness for granted, and even her first boyfriend who had ruthlessly broken her heart because she was.

But Samantha doing this hurt even more. Their bond was stronger. Their friendship was almost perfect.

She scoffed. Looking past the relationship she and Samantha had, Richard and Samantha thought she wouldn’t find out. Sam even had the guts to behave like everything was okay between them. This was going on at her back and Sam had been smiling with her and pretending like they were still best friends. Now she could add disgust to the top of the list of emotions she was feeling at the moment. Samantha had really outdone herself this time. She didn’t think that if she confronted her, she would have a reasonable explanation as to why she did all this. She didn’t even want to assume anything and get herself angrier, she would just ask her personally.

Blair guessed that it really took a second for a human being you trusted to turn their back on you and betray you.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

This was real and she knew that she would not just heal ordinarily like that.

Hearing footsteps approach from the kitchen, she guessed Dylan was done and he was making his way towards her with a hot cup of coffee she really needed right now. Coffee was one liquid that made her mind relax. She took in a deep breath and tucked her hair behind her ears.
