Arranged Marriage With The Billionaire

“I don’t mean to disturb your sleep, just thought I should let you know

Blair dried her tears quickly, happy that Dylan wasn’t looking at her to see them. She got out from the bed, to go wash her face in the bathroom. “A vacation? Where are we going?”

“Somewhere.” He glanced at her. “It was my mother’s idea. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to resume work a day after my wedding. It’s not a husbandly thing to do and I haven’t been treating you right.”

Blair rolled her eyes. “Well, that’s something I expect every man should know… not you though,” She muttered entering the bathroom, coming out few minutes later. “What are you doing?” Blair had caught Dylan holding her diary. “That’s personal!”

“Calm down I wasn’t reading it, I was only placing back for you, you’re the one who left it laying around carelessly.”

Though they didn’t fight as often as the first few weeks of their marriage, there were still occasional arguments every now and then. Blair had been counting, it has been two months now since the wedding, ten more months… she felt she could survive that.

At first, she had been hoping to grow some kind of connection with Dylan. When he was with his friends, she saw another type of Dylan which she-at that time-never knew existed. He had been kind, funny, intelligent, if she hadn’t seen the ugly side of him, she would no doubt be attracted to him, he was a very handsome man after all.

“Just pack your things Blair, we leave tomorrow morning.”

Blair didn’t know how to describe Dylan, he was the most complicated man she had ever met. Sometimes he would be really mean to her and the next he would help. “I heard you fine the first time. Where are we going anyways?”

“You’ll see when we get there. It’s nothing special, we’re just leaving, taking a rest from work… Well, I am taking a rest from work, because you don’t have a job.”

“I get that Dylan, you don’t have to rub it in. This is good anyways, I’m tired of staying in this house, with no one to talk too except for Donna, and she’s busy most of the time.”

“You could talk to me. I’m right here aren’t I?”

“I avoid you because I do not want to speak to you Dylan. When we speak, it ends it nothing but fights and you don’t even like me anyways, so why should I even bother?”

“I never said I didn’t like you,” he said. “I just said you are annoying.”

“Actions do speak better than words. You could be dumb, but I already got the message loud and clear.”

He scoffed. “Please Blair stop acting like you’re so perfect and innocent. You speak like you have been the nicest too me also. The energy I give you, is the same one you give me back.”

“That’s not true… You know what, maybe you should just go on this vacation alone. Going with you, wouldn’t be a vacation anymore, it will be the same experiences except in different location.”

“I would love that more than anyone else, but my mum is determined. If you’re not okay with the idea, you could simply call and let her know.”

“Why should I be the one to call? What happened to your hands? If you really didn’t want to go for this, you would have said so. But you didn’t, it means a part of you wanted this.”

“See, exactly like I said. Stubborn and annoying.”

The next day was when they would be leaving. Dylan surprised Blair by waking her up for breakfast. “You should go eat,” he said. “We don’t want to miss our flight.”

“Good morning Donna,” Blair greeted as she walked into the kitchen. “I smell something nice…” She took a dramatic sniff. “Bacon.”

Donna chuckled. “How was your night? Did you sleep well?”

Blair shrugged. “It was okay, not the best though.” She yawned. “I am so tired and hungry.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Talk about what? My hunger?”

Donna laughed. “No, not that. Dylan sent me into the room this morning to get his phone… you were sleeping on the couch.”

“Oh…”

“Yeah,” Donna said slowly. “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. I just wanted to say, I have known Dylan for a really long time and though he can be stubborn, he is a good person and sensible. So you two will work your issue very soon, especially coupled with the vacation. Where are you guys going by the way?”

“Oh, I don’t know, he didn’t tell me.” Blair scratched the back of his neck.

“Oh, it’s going to be a surprise? That’s so cute.” Blair wished she could say the same. She already suspected that Donna knew her marriage to Dylan was an arranged one. Donna wasn’t stupid and especially what she had just said to Blair confirmed her suspicion. “Especially since Dylan was so busy you guys couldn’t even go on your honeymoon.”

“Yeah, he was busy.” Blair nodded.

“I still think he should have made out time for this. I know if my husband had behaved like this after our wedding, I would divorce him right that moment.” Blair couldn’t help but laugh at the fierce look on Donna’s face. “I do hope he makes it up to you over there, I want to see your face full of smiles when you guys return.”

Although Blair doubted that would happen, she nodded her head. “Sure.”

“Sit down, I’ll serve you your breakfast now. Dylan went to go get something at the office, he says you guys will be leaving when he returns. So you’ll have to west fast.”
