CHAPTER 29
The next morning came and Dylan was set to find Blair. But first he had to find the exact apartment where she was and who she was with.
He already informed the police of what he found and they volunteered to help him with the CCTV footage of that particular night.
Dylan, his best friend and the detective watched the video together.
The video showed that she got into the building and knocked on a door. The door opened and revealed someone very familiar to Dylan.
Someone he loathed. Richard. He banged the table immediately.
“That son of a bitch! She’s with that bastard? This has to be a joke! Am I seeing this correctly guys?” He screamed, he was angry.
Of all people, he never thought that she would be with Richard. Richard? The bastard who left her when they were supposed to get married, he recalled.
Dylan was hurt. Hurt that she sought his help instead of Dylan’s. It broke him to pieces at that moment.
“Do you know this man sir?” The detective asked.
“I do, he was my wife’s ex lover before she met me.” He told him.
“I can’t believe Richard is involved in this. It can’t be good Dylan, he might try to brainwash her or hurt her. We should go and bring her from that place Dylan” His friend mentioned.
“I agree sir, if you feel he’s a threat to her we might as well go now and find her. We have wasted too much time already.” The detective reasoned.
“Let’s go then” he answered coldly.
They all got into their cars and took off in the direction that the taxi driver told them.
They got to the building and the detective gave the receptionist a warrant to search the apartment and retrieve what they wanted.
The woman looked confused and scared but she led them to his door.
Dylan banged the door as much as he could. At that moment he just wanted to see her. He was still hurt and upset that she was there but he had to push that aside until he made sure that she was safe.
“Who is t-” Blair was cut short by the people outside Richard’s door. She heard loud banging from the kitchen and decided to open it.
Blair had a feeling that he would find her and now he was standing in front of her. She almost lost her resolve in front of him, he made her feel that way often.
He hugged her immediately and she pushed him away.
“Get away from me” she screamed at him.
“Blair? Are you alright?” Dylan asked, taken aback by her actions.
“Ma’am, were you threatened to come here? We came to find you and bring you back to your home.” The detective said.
Dylan kept staring at her in shock.
“No sir. I came here on my own and I’m perfectly fine so please leave.” She responded by turning to look at Dylan.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Blair, you have to come with us. Richard is the last person you want around you” Dylan’s friend warned.
Dylan still couldn’t speak.
“I know what I am doing and you don’t have to worry. Please take your friend and leave” she answered coldly but tears burned at the back of her eyes.
“Guys, please leave us.” Dylan ordered his eyes still on her.
The two men left the house immediately wondering what the hell was going on.
“What is this Blair? What is going on?” He asked calmly.
He knew better than to approach her with anger.
“Nothing. Leave Dylan” she answered.
“Why did you push me away then? What have I done?” He asked.
“What a nice actor you are. It’s cool to play safe and act like you don’t know anything, that’s who you are” she countered.
“Wait what? What are you talking about Blair?” He was confused and hurt by her words.
“You don’t know huh? Okay, I’ll show you what you’re trying to hide.” she answered him.
She turned on her phone and opened the anonymous message that she got. She held the phone to his face so that he could see the pictures properly.
Dylan was utterly shocked. His eyes grew wide as he went through them. This wasn’t him. He didn’t even know the woman in the picture. So this was her reason?
“Well, speechless?” She questioned.
“Yes Blair. I’m fucking speechless, how can you believe something like this? You didn’t even talk to me about it at first.” He was so hurt that he wanted to cry. She didn’t trust him and that stung him so hard.
“For fuck sake Blair! Don’t you know me?! Does this man look like me? I haven’t seen this woman in my life. Is this really how you see me?” He asked her, he felt only pain and betrayal at that moment.
“Isn’t this proof of your infidelity to me!? You used me Dylan! I don’t have to talk to you about it when I can see it clearly right in front of me. You lied and cheated.” She screamed in tears.
“My God! Stop fucking saying that because it’s not true. I made a promise to you and I have lived by that ever since. Why would I fucking cheat or lie huh? It hurts so much that you couldn’t even ask me. Am I that worthless? Really Blair?” He shouted.
“Leave Dylan, we’ve talked enough” she answered.
“No Blair. You have to answer me, I will leave you alone then.” he spoke calmly.
“I don’t trust you Dylan. This was your life before me and even after you married me. These are clear pictures of you with someone that is not me!” She screamed.
“Really? You think those are pictures of me? Then you don’t know me. You only claimed to. Do you know what hurts, it’s that you don’t care, you didn’t talk to me and most of all you don’t trust me after everything we have been through. Have a nice life with the bastard that you chose over me.” He turned to leave.
“Damn you Dylan!” She shouted.
He opened the door and left, banging it shut.
Blair broke down in tears, crying like a baby. She knew she lost him then.
