Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

The next morning, Dylan woke up first. He forgot to ask her if he should stay with her and not go to work.

He thought deeply about it because he had a very important meeting with an investor from Spain. His wife was also very sick and he didn’t want to leave her. Donna might not be able to watch her like he wants her to.

He had an idea for the meeting but he didn’t know if the investors would agree to it.

Dylan thought of attending the meeting via a conference call, he already prepared a presentation. So he would just use his office and everything he prepared for the meeting.

He didn’t feel like it should be a problem if it wasn’t there. The meeting just required a few things that needed to be discussed.

He spoke to them when he went on his trip, so they had already been briefed about everything.

Dylan quietly left the room to make a phone call to the office. He called his secretary first.

Meanwhile, Blair stirred in her sleep the moment Dylan left the bed. She was used to her husband’s arms around her when she was asleep that she could tell when he was no longer there.

She touched the space beside her and opened her eyes.

She sighed.

Blair didn’t feel so sick at that moment. She knew she wasn’t completely okay but she wasn’t as weak as the day before.

She tried to get up from the bed but felt a slight wave of dizziness, so she relaxed for a minute.

After a minute, she got up and stood on her feet, took a deep breath, and walked into the bathroom.

Dylan went back into the room. He already spoke to his people and they said it was okay for him to do a conference video call. One of his colleagues even encouraged him to stay with his wife.

He was happy that he would get to stay with his wife and then attend his meeting. That’s what Dylan called ‘killing two birds with one stone.

When he got into the room, he saw Blair on her way out of the bathroom.”

“Dylan? Aren’t you going to the office today?” She asked.

“No, I’m not. I’ll work from home and watch over you at the same time.” He grinned.

“Dylan-” Blair wanted to protest but he stopped her.

“No. No, Blair. You can’t protest, look at you! I’m so tempted to carry you right now because I’m scared you might fall! I’m staying home with you, okay?”

“Fine, I was only concerned.” She sniffed, almost crying.

Dylan gave a long sigh and held her, he hugged her as if she was going to break into pieces.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to react that way. I just want to make sure that you’re okay before I go back to the office.” He spoke softly in her hair.

“It’s okay, I understand.” She answered and hugged him back.

“Do you want to go back to bed? It’s still early.” He asked her.

Dylan was being gentle with her because he didn’t want her to feel sad or feel as if she was bothering him. He liked staying home with his wife.

“Yeah, I’m sleepy. I should go back to sleep.” She replied.

“Alright, let’s get you back in bed.”

He led her to the bed and tucked her in.

Blair stared at him for a while.

“What? Is there something on my face?” He asked, touching his face.

Blair laughed.

“Why are you laughing?” He scoffed.

“Nothing.” She covered her mouth with her hand.

Blair thought his face was too serious, he was hell-bent on taking care of her and making sure she was okay.

“I just wanted you to smile, your face is way too serious.” She answered.

Dylan chuckled.

“You already succeeded, now go to sleep.”

She fell asleep after a few minutes. Dylan waited until she was sound asleep before he left the room to his office.

The meeting was later in the afternoon but he wanted to make sure that everything was ready. And that he was also ready.

He practiced everything that he was planning to say and show to his audience. It wasn’t necessary but he just wanted to make sure everything was smooth.

When he was satisfied with his progress he left the office and went downstairs to the kitchen to make some tea for himself.

Everywhere was quiet and the sun was rising bit by bit, the light reflected in the house. The kitchen and the living room.

He made some chamomile tea and moved towards the tall glass windows to sip it.

Dylan’s house was grand and was decorated to suit his style, but he promised his wife that he would let her decorate herself, whenever she wanted.

The reflection of the sunrise gave the house a more picturesque look. It looked like something from a movie.

“Ahhhh, hmmm.” Dylan sighed contentedly as he sipped his tea.

He thought the sunrise was beautiful.

His mind drifted to what the detective told him that day before. They just had to be patient and trust that Samantha and her accomplice will be caught and convicted.

She wouldn’t know what hit her, she’d be shocked when she finds out the truth.

Dylan thought she was pretty stupid to think that they would sit back and watch them ruin their lives. If she was smart enough, then the fact that they were Lancasters would not give her peace of mind.

He finished his tea and headed back upstairs to rest before his meeting commenced.

Dylan went back into the room to check Blair.

He moved closer to the bed and saw that she was fast asleep. He admired her sleeping face for a while.

A broad smile crept upon his face. There was no doubt that his wife was the most beautiful woman he had ever loved in his life, he thought.

He left her to continue her while he went to take his bath. After which, he wore something casual and laid back down on their bed.

He had hours before his meeting and he still wanted to sleep some more.

Later in the afternoon, Blair got up. She went into the bathroom to take a bath because she was sweaty and uncomfortable. She found Dylan sleeping like a baby beside her.

She wore a short, brown dress. It was straight and had thin straps.

She felt strong and didn’t know why Dylan made her stay in bed.

The doctor was yet to call them and give them information in regards to her health.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Blair marched out of the room and headed to the kitchen to put food in her stomach. She felt empty and light.

She opened the fridge first and sighted the dessert that Dylan bought for her. And she was tempted to reach out and eat from it but she knew that she didn’t need it at the moment.

What she needed was actual food. After raiding the fridge, she found fresh food in plastic containers.

There was fried rice, turkey, white rice, e, and sauce. She warmed bits of everything in the microwave.

While she waited for her food to warm up, she drank a glass of juice from the fridge.

Blair missed her morning pills, so she decided to take them in the afternoon. And she planned to eat a lot because it was as if she had not eaten for days.

She went to check the food after a few minutes because it was almost frozen when she put it inside.

It was still a little cold, so she left it for a while.

The food finally warmed up and she ate it on the kitchen counter.

Later, she left the kitchen and climbed the stairs to their bedroom.

She wanted to take her pills.

“Blair? You’re awake. Where were you?” Dylan asked her.

He was on his way downstairs to look for her. He didn’t see her in bed when he stirred and peaked at her side of the bed.

He checked the bathroom but he didn’t find her. So he thought he should check the kitchen.

“I was in the kitchen. I was hungry so I wanted to look for food and I ended up raiding the entire fridge.” She explained.

“Oh? Did you just say you were hungry?” He asked amusedly.

It seemed like she was going back to her usual self.

“Yeah, I was very hungry. I had to wake up because I couldn’t take it anymore.”

She was holding a glass of water for her pills.

“How do you feel now?” He asked her.

“I feel a little better than yesterday. I was able to have my bath without any help and I was also able to eat without disturbing you. So I guess I’m fine.”

Dylan smiled a bit.

“I guess so, I haven’t heard from our doctor. I guess we’ll know then.”

It was weird how someone who he thought was very sick was now up and running.

“Yeah, can’t be too sure.” She answered him.

“Yeah, anyway I have a meeting right now, in my office. So I’ll just go and attend it. I’ll be done soon, text me if you need anything. I love you.”

He gave her a quick kiss on her lips before he left for the office.

“Okay, take care. I love you too.” She responded and smiled.

Blair walked down the hallway with a smile on her face.

She got into the room and headed straight for the pills on the table.

“Ahhh.” She sighed as she sipped the last drop of water.

She felt refreshed.

Blair went to the bed to relax, she picked up the book that she was currently reading and flipped the pages one by one as she read them.

She didn’t want to get distracted but her mind wandered off.

There was just a day left, to reveal Samantha’s true colors to the world.

She was anxious just thinking about it, they would have to face Samantha.

Blair didn’t know if she was prepared to face her but she knew more than anything that she wanted her to be convicted of her crimes.

She had ruined lives and destroyed homes already and it was enough.

The moment she would stop feeling bad was at her doorstep.

Blair continued her book and fell asleep afterwards.

Meanwhile, Dylan had his meeting in his office. He had discussed everything he wanted to discuss with the investors and stakeholders.

He even showed them the simple presentation that he made so that they would understand it better.

They were content and happy with everything that happened and the meeting was over in minutes.

Dylan gave a deep sigh of relief and smiled. Everything was going well, their days of struggle had paid off.

The only thing left was Samantha and Richard’s case. And soon it would be resolved. Dylan could not wait, he wasn’t as anxious as Blair, he was ready for them.

The day went by unusually slow. Blair was awake already and Dylan was dining with his work. He still waited to get feedback from the doctor.

Donna was nowhere to be seen. They both wondered where she was but then it was Donna. She was always busy, doing one thing or the other.

Dylan rushed downstairs to get something to eat. His stomach growled. He had skipped dinner last night and also skipped breakfast in the morning. He only had a cup of coffee.

Blair was also in the kitchen when he got there.

“What are you doing?” He asked her.

“Food.” She simply answered.

“You’re back to your normal self.” He muttered.

“What is that?” She poured herself a glass of apple juice.

“Nothing, can I have some juice too? I’m starved.”

“Yeah, sure. Should I make you something?” She asked.

“Thank you. Donna said she packed food in containers, “I’ll just warm it up.” He said.

“Yeah, true but I thought you didn’t like packed food. You’re always about fresh stuff.” Blair teased him.

“Haha.” Dylan opened the fridge and took out the containers.

He took portions of them on a plate and heated them in the microwave. It was still fresh because Donna made the food last night, besides their fridge preserved their food properly.

He ate his food and cleaned the plate. Blair was amused, her husband didn’t like to clean the dishes but seeing him do everything himself just because he didn’t want to stress her warmed her heart.

Blair grinned and gave him a back hug.

“I love you, Dylan.” She said softly.

“I love you too.” He replied.

Dylan and Blair were seated in the living room, it had been a while since they watched a movie together. So Dylan prepared snacks and set up a movie for them to watch.

Blair laid her head on Dylan’s lap and covered herself with a blanket; the living room was cold.

“Are you okay, Blair? Cozy enough?” He asked her.

“Yeah, I’m good.” She smiled at him, he smiled back.

“Alright then, let’s start the movie.”

Dylan pressed play and the movie started, they were using Netflix to stream their movie.
