Chapter 28
Blair’s POV
“Why would you do that?!” I screamed in anger. “You should have checked in with me first. Did you know what I would want?”
The man looked away with a disappointed look on his face. “I don’t want to talk about this now Blair. Leave me alone.”
“Oh no, we are talking about this right now!” I screamed. He was not going to push me away. For apologizing, he had admitted to the crimes put up against him. I was thinking we would be a team and deal with this as usual.
We had to put up a united front and tell the entire world that they were wrong, but with him being weak and explaining that he was in the wrong to the entire world, it meant that he was truly cheating and he wasn’t innocent like I had thought.
This would also affect me as I would have to put up my own apology to the entire world as well and I did not want that to happen.
I was not going to give up. Not now, not ever.
“My entire life is in shambles right now!” I screamed. “Everywhere I go I keep having people stare at me like I’m some kind of whore. My own family treats me like shit. I don’t even know what to do.
“How could you suddenly decide that you were going to give out that apology without telling me first? Now I’m looking like the fool who hasn’t apologized to the public. And why should I? They are wrong!”
“Have you been cheating on me?” he asked that question catching me off guard as I had not seen that coming.
“Excuse me?” I had my eyes widened. This was besides the point. We needed to be on the same side here.
“I asked if you were cheating on me. It’s not like I stuttered or asked in another language.”
“Alexander, I don’t…”
“Tell me the friends you’ve been going out with late at night and coming back with in the morning.”
“What is this? You have no right to know…”
“No right?!” he scoffed. “I am your fucking husband. You wanted us to be a team right? Well then teams don’t lie to each other. Tell me what I need to know!”
“Fine!” I groaned. “I have been cheating on you.”
Immediately I said that, the aggressive front he had been putting on suddenly fell apart as a weak man took his place. He looked disappointed and I could not blame him.
“But I’m sorry and I…” I started to get close to him as he stood up and started for the bedroom. “Baby, please listen to me.”
“Get the fuck…” he grunted pushing me out of his way as I fell to the ground. He walked to the door and without turning back gave me the coldest words ever. “I should never have married you.”
With that, he walked out of the living room and into the bedroom, slamming the door shut. He was clearly disappointed by what had happened and who could blame him.
The waterworks began to flow uncontrollably as I tried cleaning my eyes to no avail.
It was not supposed to hurt this much but somehow it did and I wondered why it did.
My phone pinged as I found a new message from an unknown number.
Opening the message my heart stopped beating for a second.
‘Having fun yet?’ the message read to me as I immediately gritted my teeth. It was this person’s fault that my life was in shambles.
The phone rang with an unknown number calling. It had to be the blackmailer as I felt the color leave my face before I picked up the call.

Zendaya’s POV
“How are you?” I asked with the voice changer as usual making it difficult for them to notice my voice. “How has life been?”
“You know what you did and I hate you for it,” Blair sobbed over the phone. “You collected that insane amount of money from me only to still go back on your word. Why?! My life is in shambles right now. My family hates me. I don’t think everything will go back to the way it used to be.”
I smirked while hearing the woman wail in my ears at how much of a loser she was. I did not want to hear anymore so I cut her off.
“I’ll leave you alone if you can do one thing for me,” I smiled. I was at the balcony and the view I was having was fantastic. It would be a shame to waste the view by going to bed this early.
“I’ll do anything,” snapped the woman. “Anything.”
“Be careful what you wish for,” I laughed.
“Please, just make it stop.”
“It’s very simple. All you need to do is issue a public apology to Alexander and call out the names of the men you have been cheating on him with.”
“Please don’t make me do that. I can’t do it. It’s impossible.”
I laughed. “It’s not. You’re the one who said anything. This is what I want from you.”
“Is there any other alternative?”
“You have one hour to do it.”
“Please don’t be so cruel. Have mercy on me, please,” but I did not care about her life. I wanted it destroyed.
Cutting off the call, I laid back watching the drama unfold and within less than an hour, Blair released an official statement admitting to cheating on Alexander alongside her apology and the names of the men she had cheated with.
This was better with popcorn. I laughed.
With a satisfied smirk, I went through my connection, picking a number as I called it.
Someone picked the call which had me smiling evilly.
“There is this favor you owe me and I am calling to cash it in,” I said with a confident sigh. I was not done with Alexander and Blair yet. We were only getting started.
