Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

Dylan worked in the evening. In the hotel’s lounge area. He had a meeting with one of the people that they wanted to work with. He was a Spanish guy but then again, Dylan knew Spanish quite well.

The words rolled out of his tongue as if he was a native. The man was impressed as well because he rarely spoke to foreigners that could speak his language fluently.

And most people did not know that he could speak English. He used it to trick people into showing their true intentions. He saw Dylan’s genuine side as he watched and listened to him.

The meeting did not take so much time, the man agreed to work with Dylan. They signed their agreement.

“I like you.” The man said, his Spanish accent clear and strong.

Dylan was shocked, he thought the man didn’t know or understand English.

“Err, thank you, Mr. Rojas. I didn’t know you understood English.” He said.

“I’m not so fluent but I know how to go about it. I’m impressed by the fact that you can speak Spanish so fluently. Keep it up.” The older man patted his shoulder.

“Thank you, Mr. Rojas,” Dylan answered and the man left.

Dylan went back to his suite and slumped in his bed. It wasn’t so much of a hectic day but he was tired. It was late already but he had dinner with his client.

Everything he planned for the trip was happening and he would be able to leave soon.

He didn’t know when he slept off.

Samantha had texted Blair the next morning for the address. She sent it to her immediately after the call.

Blair was in the kitchen making breakfast when she heard the doorbell ringing. She walked towards the door and peeped through the hole. It was Samantha.

“Heyyy.” Blair opened the door.

“Blair!” Sam screamed and jumped on her.

“Hey, Sam. I didn’t think you would be here early, you didn’t say so.” Blair said.

“Yeah, I wanted to surprise you. You look so good! How are you?” She asked.

“I’m good Sam. Come in. How are you?” She asked as she shut the door.

“I’m good too. I wanted to come to see you before I leave for my trip.” She placed her bag on the table and followed Blair to the kitchen.

“Thank you, Sam, for coming. I appreciate it.”

Blair wished that Samantha didn’t change. She missed her best friend, she missed telling her everything and not hiding anything from her. Blair was reminded of their old times together.

When Sam would have her clean, cook, and make sure that she was okay. She missed it with all her heart and wished that she could have it all back.

She even wished that she never found out that Samantha was involved with the whole mess. Then she wouldn’t feel the way she felt at that moment.

“It’s okay. What’s cooking?” She asked, trying to stick her head into the pot.

“Chicken soup,” Blair answered while she stirred it.

She didn’t like how she felt because of Sam but she couldn’t do anything about it.

“Hmmm, can’t wait to eat. Oh my God, I’ve missed your food so much, Blair. It’s making me hungrier!” She exclaimed.

Blair laughed, genuinely.

“Thank you, Sam. I knew you would want this though.” Blair told her.

“How is it that you always know what I want? I don’t even know what I want.” Sam complained.

Blair chuckled.

“Oh well, I guess I’m used to it because I don’t always know what you want,” Blair explained.

Samantha gave a small laugh.

Blair knew that she was pretending. She couldn’t even guess anymore. The feelings that Sam showed to her, she wondered if she felt them.

She didn’t know. Blair decided to do what her heart pushed her to do.

Blair only pretended in front of Samantha when it was necessary but when it wasn’t she decided to do her.

The soup was ready 6 minutes after Samantha got to Blair’s house. They had soup and some bread for breakfast.

It was funny how Samantha acted around Blair. She played the same way, spoke the same way and she did every other thing the same way.

Blair realized that she had probably been pretending for a long time. Richard did not tell her how long it had been or when she started. But Blair had it at the back of her mind that Samantha wouldn’t just pretend to be good at pretending. She got used to it. Made her wonder how long she had been like that.

“This breakfast is the best I’ve had in a week. You make amazing food, Blair.” She commented.

“Thank you Sam.” Blair said.

Who knew if she meant it.

Samantha burped loudly as she usually did when she was with Blair.

“I’m sorry.” She laughed and Blair shook her head and smiled.

After their breakfast, they sat in the living room with hot coffee mugs in their hands.

“Yeah, so when are we leaving for the mall? I planned to go shopping with you. Besides I need new stuff, Blair.” She said.

“We can go whenever you want to go. I don’t have much to do anyway.” Blair answered while she sipped her coffee.

“Yay! Okay then we’ll go soon. I really love this place, can I take a look around?” Samantha asked. She took her mug with her.

“Yeah sure. You can check around, I’ll just get ready for the mall.” Blair said, she got up from the floor.

Samantha left Blair in the living room and went to check out the rooms and everything.

“Wow! This apartment is pretty Blair. And it’s so you. It suits you so well.” Samantha complimented.

Blair smiled genuinely. She had changed into blue jeans and a yellow, off-shoulder, wool top, it was pretty.

She wore black sandals with wedge heels and packed her hair in a ponytail. And she also wore a necklace that Dylan got for her, it reached her collarbone and matched her top.

Blair looked absolutely stunning even in a simple outfit, she still passed as a billionaire’s wife.

She drank the last of her coffee and placed the cup in the sink.

“You look really nice Blair! I love the top and that necklace is catchy. Love it!” Samantha exclaimed.

“Thank you, Samantha.” Blair thanked her for the hundredth time.

“Can we go now? Samantha asked.

She also placed her cup in the sink.

“Yeah, of course. I’ll just grab the keys.” She grabbed it from where she hung it on the wall.

“Let’s go?” Blair asked.

She opened the door then she and Samantha stepped out and walked towards the elevator. They stepped into the elevator, Blair pressed the button that would take them down.

“So, have you heard from Dylan at all?” Sam asked.

“Not really. We barely talk to each other and there’s nothing to talk about anyway. We’ll just be moving back and forth.” Blair explained.

“Woah. I’m sorry Blair, you yourself told me that he’s hard headed but he might come around y’know.” Sam advised.

Blair imagined she and Dylan still fighting because of what happened. She won’t even be able to talk to him because she might break down out of guilt.

“It’s okay. I guess some things aren’t meant to be right? No matter how much you force them or want them.” Blair responded.

“Yeah you’re right. True, I hope you get over it.” She replied.

They got to the reception area and walked out of the building.

“We’ll take my car.” she pointed to a black venza parked a few meters from them.

“That’s cool. I should see my parents soon, I’ll pick up my car from there. The sun isn’t joking with my skin these days.” Blair said.

Samantha laughed.

“I agree with you babes.” Samantha opened her door and went over to the driver’s side so she could get in.

“Thank you.” Blair said and got in.

“It’s fine.” Samantha answered as she turned on the engine and drove out of the building parking lot and on the road.

“So where exactly are we going?” Blair asked.

“You’ll see.” Samantha answered.

Blair knew she was taking a risk by following Samantha out. She didn’t know where they were going.

Blair couldn’t trust Samantha to take her anywhere safe because of what she knew already. There was no trust, she could only cross her fingers and hope to be at the mall where they usually went.

After 20 minutes of driving, they got to the mall that they went to regularly. Blair gave a sigh of relief and uncrossed her fingers on her lap.

Samantha parked the car in the parking lot of the mall, the space wasn’t far from the entrance of the mall.

“We’re here. I heard that some new designer shops opened here and I said we’d come check them out together.” She squealed.

“Oh. I haven’t been here in a while so I didn’t know about it. Let’s go?” Blair asked.

“Of course.” Sam answered.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They both got down from the car and went into the mall.

“Should we ask around for new stores?” Blair suggested.

“What? No, we’ll explore ourselves. Let’s find them ourselves.” Samantha answered.

“Okay then.” Blair agreed.

Samantha held her hands and dragged her towards a jewelry shop.

“Look at that jewelry! Did you return Dylan’s card yet? Not talking to him doesn’t mean you can’t spend his money. Y’all are still married after all.” Samantha said.

Blair didn’t know how to answer that question because she still had Dylan’s unlimited card, of course but she also didn’t want her to suspect anything as well.

“The jewelry is pretty but I am not buying that. Besides, I returned his card, and I had it sent back to his office.” Blair answered.

“No! You messed up Blair! But anyway you are getting that, it’s pretty. It’ll go with some of your outfits you know.” Sam complained.

The jewelry was a set. It had a necklace, earrings and a bracelet. It almost enticed Blair but she had lots of jewelry like that. Some from Dylan, some she got herself, some from her parents or friends.

Dylan always bought her jewelry so she couldn’t count them anymore.

She had an endless line of them back home.

“Sam, you can get them for yourself instead. They’ll look so nice on you.” Blair soothed her.

“You think so? I thought they’d look better on you but okay I’ll get for myself.” She agreed.

“Good girl.” Blair patted her back.

“Excuse me! Can I get this?” Samantha called the store attendant while she pointed to the display glass.

The lady walked towards them and opened the glass. She took out the jewelry then she went to the counter to wrap it up.

“That’ll be $665 ma’am.” The lady told them after scanning it.

“Wow! Alright then, please wrap it up.” She gave the woman her card.

After the whole payment process, Samantha and Blair left the shop.

They walked for 20 minutes until they were out of energy.

“Sam, I’m tired. Can we just ask one of these security people?” Blair asked.

“I agree babe but before we do, I suddenly got hungry. Let’s eat here.” She pointed to a lunch place behind Blair.

“Alright. I’m hungry as well.” Blair agreed.

They walked into the shop and took their seats. The menu was on the table already so they went through it.

Samantha waved both her hands so that the waiter would spot them. The guy walked towards them with a kind smile on his face.

He kept staring at Blair but she didn’t notice because she was busy going through the menu.

“I would like a turkey burger and a medium vanilla and strawberry shake.” Blair said, her head still buried in the menu.
