Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

The movie went on for almost two hours. This time they finished the movie with their eyes open; they didn’t fall asleep.

“That was a nice movie.” Blair complimented.

She let Dylan decide everything, from the movies to the snacks.

“Yeah, it was. I picked it.” He answered with pride.

“Shut up.” She smacked his head.

“Ow, it seems like you’re better now.” He complained.

“Not really.” She muttered.

“Oh really? How come your fists are working perfectly?” He smirked.

“Ugh, fine. You are so annoying.” She groaned.

Dylan laughed.

Blair’s phone rang, it was beside her. She picked it up and checked who it was.

“Richard?” She said out loud.

“What? Why would he be calling you?” Dylan asked.

“I have no idea. Let’s find out, Dylan. I’ll put it on speaker, so please don’t make any sound.” She begged him.

“Alright! Alright, jeez, what do you take me for?” He frowned.

“You’re gonna ask that now?” She chuckled.

“Why not?” He asked.

“Darn, the phone isn’t ringing anymore. You better pray he calls again, or else it won’t be just my fists, Dylan.” She threatened.

While they argued, the phone rang again and Blair put her index finger on her lips, telling Dylan to be quiet.

One Dylan kept quiet, she picked the call and clicked the speaker icon so that Dylan could listen.

“Hello, Blair. Took you long enough to answer the phone.” Richard grunted over the phone.

“Hello. At least I answered, not everyone is jobless to pick calls on the first ring.” She retorted.

“Whatever. I have a deal for you, are you interested?” He asked.

“What does it entail?” She eyed Dylan.

Now, Richard did not completely trust that Blair would not betray him. He had betrayed her so he had a gut feeling that she might do something on her own.

“I’ll give you some information on Samantha. You will help me leave the country and you will make sure that I do not get caught by the police.” Richard stated.

Blair laughed out loud, she couldn’t hold it. To her, Richard would always be one to run away. That was what she saw him as, a coward.

Dylan watched her amusedly.

“What is funny?” Richard asked.

“You, Richard, you sounded so hilarious. I thought you’d plan to run away if things don’t go as you both planned. You haven’t released the pictures as well, after your threatening tone and stoic facial expressions. Why is that?” She asked.

Blair knew what he was trying to do, Samantha had probably threatened him or made him scared about something. He was trying to push all the blame on Samantha but she wasn’t going to have any of that.

Both of them would get punished accordingly.

“That is none of your business, Blair. Just do as I say, if you don’t want the information then fine, but you will make sure that I leave the country, as safe as possible. If not, your pictures will get out and I’m not joking this time.” His time was hard.

“Threat or what?” She chuckled.

“However you see it.” He answered

Dylan just sat there and watched, his hand itched him. He wanted to grab the phone and scream into Richard’s ears. Blair held his hands and smiled a bit.

“Who would have thought that you’d be an arrogant fool. Anyway I agree, you will give me the information that I need and I will make sure you leave safely.” She hardened her tone too.

“Deal. I will send you everything I have before the day ends.” He said.

“Okay, you had better, or else you won’t leave.” Blair sang.

“I will and make sure you keep your word too. If not, I will release every single picture.” He told her.

“Deal. I’m hanging up, now.” She pressed the red button on her screen.

“Wow. He’s willing to betray Samantha?” Dylan asked I’m shocked.

“I’m sure he found out that she wants to betray him. There must be a reason why he’s so desperate. Anyway, it feels good to know that I will betray him too and not keep my word. He cannot escape anymore, I don’t care what he thinks of me after this.”

“Yeah, we cannot risk letting him go free. He might come back again and cause trouble.” Dylan said.

“That is what I want to avoid.”

“Yeah, let’s wait to see the kind of information that he wants to send.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I’m so eager to know what he’s going to send.”

“Me too.” She smirked.

They both went back to their movie positions, Blair placed her head on his lap. She typed away on her phone while Dylan was on the phone with someone from his office.

Later, he got up and moved to the kitchen to continue his call. His secretary called him to approve some of the things that needed to be done regarding the meeting he had.

“Congratulations, sir. At the meeting, the investors were happy.” She told him.

“Thank you.”

Dylan told her what to do before hanging up the call.

His phone rang again, he checked to see who it was. It was the doctor.

“Doctor?”

“Mr Lancaster? Afternoon.”

“Good afternoon. Did you find anything? Is she okay?” Dylan questioned the man.

He laughed.

“Your wife is pretty okay, believe it or not, she’s alright. She just had a bit of typhoid fever. That’s why she was so weak. Tell her to call me later. I will send her medications to your house.” The older man explained to Dylan.

“Oh, thank God.” Dylan sighed in relief.

“It’s alright, bye.”

“Bye, doctor.”

They hung up the call.

“Dylan?”

“Hmm, yes?” He turned to Blair.

She was beside the kitchen doorway.

“Have you been on the phone since then?” She asked.

“Yeah, I just got off the phone with the doctor.” He told her.

Her eyes widened.

“What did he say?”

“He said that you are pretty okay. But he asked me to tell him to give it to him later. He’ll send all your medications soon.”

“Did he tell you why he wants me to call later?”

“No, you should call him and find out, whenever you’re ready.” He told her.

“Yeah, okay.”

“So, I just wanna ask, where is Donna?” He asked her.

“I don’t know, Dylan. Maybe she’s busy or she went grocery shopping again.” Blair couldn’t tell.

“Don’t you think we should check? Clara and Aaliyah left for their home last night and they will probably be back next week or so.”

“I think we should check.” Blair held his hand.

Dylan gave a firm nod. They went outside and walked to the other side of the house.

Immediately they stepped out of the shades, Blair screamed in shock. The sun was scorching and she looked at the sky without thinking.

The weather was hotter outside and Blair wasn’t aware of it because she was always indoors.

She held her hand over her head as a shield from the sun.

“Sorry Blair, the sun is shining so bright today.” Dylan used his body to shield her as well.

“It’s fine, it’s not like it’ll kill me.” She laughed.

“True. The sun is what you need right now because you’re always inside the house.” He answered.

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go.”

They walked into the small building.

They had a separate place for workers. Blair didn’t know why Dylan built it that way. She didn’t have any problems staying with them in one place.

They went to Donna’s room and tapped the door but there was no response and it was locked.

Just as they wanted to turn back they heard the sound of a car from outside.

And they rushed outside to check who it was.

“Donna!” Blair shouted.

“Oh! Mrs Lancaster? What are you doing outside? It is quite sunny and you aren’t completely well.” She rushed over to her.

“My God, Donna, where have you been?” Blair was exasperated, Dylan walked up to them.

“Good afternoon, sir.” Donna greeted him.

“Donna, where were you?” He asked.

“I went to the supermarket and the florist’s place. I informed you both, I placed a sticky note on the fridge saying that I wouldn’t be around till late afternoon.”

They both stared at her with their mouths open.

“You did?” Blair asked.

“Yes ma’am. We had so many things we needed at home and I chose to get them today. Do you mind helping me, sir?” She asked Dylan.

“Yeah, sure.” Dylan picked up some of the bags and took them inside.

“We didn’t see your note, Donna. I didn’t think you would leave us a note, sorry.” She apologized.

“It’s okay, I should have told your husband but he was busy taking care of you and didn’t want to disturb you, that’s why.”

“It’s okay. Let’s go inside, you must be tired. Dylan will help with the bags.” Blair took her inside.

“Thank you, Mrs Lancaster.” Donna thanked her.

Dylan packed the last of the bags and flowers inside the house.

Blair pulled out a counter stool for Donna to sit on.

“It’s okay, Donna, sit, please. I was trying to help, but you look tired and stressed. You should rest, other workers in the house can do these, why do you choose to do them yourself?” Blair asked.

“I’m the head, ma’am, I should be the one doing these things,” Donna replied while she sat down.

“Yeah, I know but sometimes you can give the other workers the tasks. And please don’t be so formal with us, especially Dylan, he doesn’t like that you speak to him formally. I mean you call me Blair and you call him Dylan, it’s okay, we never complained, did we?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Blair, I didn’t think it would bother you.”

“Why not? You talking to us so formally all of a sudden is strange. Was there a reason?” Blair asked.

She took a seat in front of her, on the other side of the counter.

“Oh nothing, I just felt I should. I’m sorry if you were inconvenienced. You both are my bosses and I feel there should be a bit of respect towards you.” Donna answered.

“Who said you weren’t being respectful?” Blair chuckled.

Donna chuckled as well.

“It’s okay, Donna. Just be yourself, like you’ve always been.” Blair squeezed her hands softly.

“Thank you, Blair.” Donna smiled.

Dylan came into the kitchen with a big carton of fresh milk, from the farm. He took it straight to the storage.

“Can you remind me why I decided to carry all of these?” Dylan asked Blair, panting.

“Because you are the strongest in our midst right now.” Blair scoffed.

“I could have called security to help.” He sulked.

“Now that you did carry them, did you die?” She tried to hold her laughter.

“Whatever.” He muttered and left the kitchen.

Donna laughed.

“You do know how to tackle him more than anybody else.” She said,

“Of course, he’s always asking for trouble and I’m ever ready to give it to him.” Blair giggled and Donna laughed once more.

“So, is there anything you want to make for dinner?” Donna asked Blair.

“I haven’t thought of anything yet and I’m not sure if I can make dinner. ” Blair told her.

“Alright, I will make dinner. But I don’t know what to make, any idea?” Donna asked.

“Hmmm, how about spaghetti or mashed potatoes and gravy. Or we could eat some couscous.” Blair suggested.

Donna thought for a moment.

“How about the couscous with roasted salmon? That sounds nice.”

She said,

“Alright, it wasn’t so bad was it?” Blair teased.

Donna chuckled.

“We might as well get to it.”

They both got up from the counter stool and started cooking.

It didn’t take long because the dish itself wasn’t complicated and hard to cook. It was quite easy. They were done cooking in just 20 minutes.
