Blaire Granger is the last child and the only female child amongst her two siblings
The eldest sibling, Ryan Granger is married to Linda, the only child of Mr Taylor, the CEO of PZ Motors. Ryan is not exactly the smartest and he's practically living off his wife's status, his wife, Linda, on the other hand is as greedy as anyone can be and she's being using Ryan as a sword to fight for the family's Enterprise but luckily, their father never really liked Linda and Blaire never knew why
The second child of the Granger family, Liam Granger is the play boy of the house, he changes girlfriends just as easily as he changes his wardrobe, he is obnoxious and also greedy, but he isn't as annoying as his mother, Jessica, who seems to have her eyes fixed on the family's companies for years
The third and last child of the family is Blaire Granger, Blaire is the only one among her siblings that has established herself personally without the help of her father and so she knew she remains the most sane choice her father could make when handing over his companies
Her father, Harvey Granger, was obviously a player when he was young too as he never got married but impregnated three different women giving him the three children he has today so it was quite obvious Liam inherited his playboy attitude from him
Ryan's mother who was his first mistress died a few years back, Liam's mother is very much alive, greedy, hale and hearty
Blaire's mother on the other hand never stepped a foot into the Mansion, her Mom died the day her father found her out to be her daughter, she was only but seven years back then so she practically grew up in that hell of a home alone and she soon realized that she had no choice but to be independent by being smart and learning to speak for herself, the only thing she ever had in common with her siblings is the greed for the company they all shared
The airplane landed and Blaire walked out of airport, luckily it wasn't raining too in London so she removed her winter coat, holding it on her arm
"Blaire!!" Someone called as soon as she walked out of the airport
"Blaire!!" The voice called again sounding closer and she turned around to see a face she hasn't seen in three years
"Freddie" Blaire called trying to sound as excited as she could, which she failed terribly at
Freddie Lloyd is the son of Anthony Lloyd, her father's long term business partner
It was obvious Freddie had been crushing on her since their teenage years but she thought the three years they've spent apart will dissipate that crush but with the look on Freddie's face, it's obvious she was wrong
"Oh Blaire, it's been so long" Freddie said as he enveloped Blaire into a bear hug, yes he was that tall and huge, one of the many things Blaire never liked about him
"It's only been three years" Blaire pointed out
"Only? It was like an eternity for me, I was out of contact with you as you wouldn't pick up my calls but that's okay, you must have been busy cause I heard you've been making waves with your business in New York" Freddie smiled
This was the second among the many things Blaire didn't like about Freddie, he has a pure heart and he's just too innocent and gullible, not that there's anything wrong with that but Blaire isn't just attracted to the innocent kind of guys, she's too ambitious for that, to become the best sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and she will prefer a man that is willing to get his hands dirty with her
"How did you know I was coming to London?" Blaire asked to avoid more rambling from Freddie
"I heard from James, your father's personal assistant" Freddie said
"Yeah I know who James is, he's obviously too big mouthed to keep my coming a secret from certain people" Blaire said looking at Freddie
"Don't worry, James haven't told anyone except me, when he told me, I knew I had to come pick you up from the airport as I can't have you entering a cab, that's very much below your status" Freddie said as he led Blaire to a silver Rolls-Royce phantom
Blaire saw the car and stopped
"You brought such a car just to pick me up? Aren't you being too excessive?" Blaire asked
"Cars are meant to be used regardless of how expensive or luxurious they look, perhaps, you deserve nothing less Blaire, you are after all, my queen" Freddie said as his lips curved into a smile
And there it is, the third thing Blaire disliked about Freddie, though Blaire can also be materialistic, Freddie's was totally on another level
Freddie held the car door open for Blaire and she sat in
"James sounded like my father was on his death bed over the phone, is he dead yet?" Blaire asked as Freddie drove
"Oh don't worry Blaire, you father still lives, you shouldn't worry about him dying, I'm sure he'll try his best to live long for his loving children" Freddie said and Blaire sighed, could anyone be more gullible?
"So what's wrong with him then?" I asked
"I have no idea but I do know he had spent over a week at the hospital and he left the hospital back home just yesterday" Freddie said and I nodded
"Well step on the gas will you? The shorter time I spend in this City, the better it is for my sanity" I said to Freddie
"I'm going as fast as I can Blaire, the speed limit is 40km/hr and I cannot disobey that" Freddie said and Blaire felt like smacking his face, who still obeys speed limits these days? She should have taken her chances with the cabs
After what seemed like an eternity, they finally arrived at hell, yeah that was what this place was like for Blaire, a well built, exquisite and luxurious hell
Blaire stepped out of the car and Freddie did the same
"Thank you Freddie but I should go in alone, I think this is some kind of family meeting and you won't be welcomed" Blaire said stopping Freddie from following her in
"Oh, well I'll see you later then, do pick up my calls since you are back home now" Freddie said as he hugged Blaire and went back to his car
Judging from the two grand cars parked outside the Mansion, Blaire could tell she was the last to arrive amongst her siblings
She took a deep breath before walking in
"Here goes nothing" she muttered
She walked into the deluxe and grand living room she hasn't seen in years yet it remained just the same
She looked around and she was right, they were all here, Ryan was seated with his wife on one sofa and Liam was seated with his mother on another
"There she is, the Queen that has been keeping us waiting has finally arrived!" Liam said on seeing her and everyone's attention shifted to Blaire so she immediately put up a smile
"Why thank you for the grand entrance announcement Liam, you'll make a good bellman for the royal family" Blaire stated and Liam flared up
"You dare refer to me as a royal announcer?!" Liam said angrily
"At least it has royalty in it, something you clearly are not" Blaire said in the most calm voice getting Liam more annoyed
"Be calm Liam, we aren't here to exchange words with this rude brat today" Liam's mother said sitting him down
"Oh your mother is here too? I'm sorry I didn't see you there Jessica" Blaire said and Liam's Mom stood up angrily
"You....."
"Oh please, will you all just shut up" Ryan said standing up, then he faced Blaire
"Do you not know that it is proper etiquette to not keep your elders waiting?" Ryan asked
"Apologies Ryan, I was very busy as I happen to have a company of my own to run unlike you lot here" Blaire said getting Ryan enraged
Ryan raised his hand to slap Blaire but his wife held him back
"Stop Ryan, father is just in the next room, we can't afford to cause any commotion at this critical time" Linda said
"That's right Ryan, listen to your wife, she's the least foolish amongst everyone here" Blaire said and Linda stood up enraged
"Right from the first time I met you Blaire, you've always had that sharp tongue of yours, you are always the one to vomit rubbish everywhere and anywhere, I thought the three years you spent in New York would at least make you matured and put some senses into your head but alas, I was very wrong" Linda said
"My time in New York didn't put senses into my head but it did put some money into my account" Blaire said with a smile
"Of course that's all what you care about Blaire, money, it is said that the more money you have, the more senseless you become, I never believed that but seeing you now, I think whoever made that statement is very right" Linda said
"Well I'll rather be rich and senseless than to be wise yet tied to a senseless fool like your husband" Blaire said and Ryan flared up again
"You impudent brat, you dare to....."
"Enough!!" James gruff voice echoed throughout out the living room as he walked in with their father...
