Chapter 61 *** The Final Revelation ***

[ CHAPTER THEME SONG:
.... Blind By Life House ]

[ THIRD PERSON'S POV ]

Blake chased after Victoria to comfort her at least a bit. Though she was wrong and was blindly running after fame, she was the mother of his heavenly child. Blake felt responsibility towards Victoria no matter what happened between them.

After coming out of the award show, he searched for her everywhere nearby but she wasn't around. Almost an hour passed but there wasn't any trace of Victoria. Having no clue about her whereabouts, Blake started to feel worried about her. Standing at the backdoor, he was about to call his men but a figure appeared from his back suddenly.

Blake snapped his head back only to find Asher with a drowned expression. His expression was hard to read but Blake could feel that he was immersed in sorrow. Blake frowned wandering why did Asher come over to him at this moment,
" Asher! You?"

Asher smiled faintly. Exhaling a deep sigh, he asked walking over to stand beside Blake,
" Looking for Victoria?"

Blake nodded with a tight frown and asked back,
" How do you.. know?"

Asher gave him a straight answer, smiling a little,
" Because I overhearded everything of your conversation with Victoria and Veronica."

Blake froze gripping his phone in his fist and looked up at Asher guiltily. Pursuing his lips together, he tried to coax Asher nervously,
" Asher.. That's not really..We have ended.."

" Love can't be attained by force, Blake. We can't force our heart to love someone.", Asher cut off his words, pain laced out from his voice.

Blake went silent before swallowing hard. He didn't want Asher to know about them. He wanted to see Veronica happy even though they couldn't be together anymore perhaps never.

Before Blake could offer a verbal apology or anymore soothing words, Asher dived his hand into a bag under Blake's confused eyes.

Few photographs and a pile of paper sheets came out, dazzled under the neon light of lampposts. Asher extended his arm towards Blake and spoke with a forced smile,
" Here, you go. I guess, it can resolve your doubts but before that, I want you to reach in flat number 17 on Riveria Building. I hope, you can then choose your choice, Blake."

Blake looked down at the photographs numbly. The moment, he saw those images, his stomach tightened into a knot. Those images belonged to Victoria who was kissing passionately Luther. In another scene, they were smiling at each others.

His mind stopped working for a while. With his trembling hands, he accepted those papers and images. He began to examine the papers one by one as he heard Asher speaking frustratingly,
" I was having my doubts on Victoria from the day that we have found her, Blake. When you asked me to examine her health, my doctor confirmed me that she had no mental issues. I wandered what happened in the territory. Later, I decided to check on Victoria's past and previous life. Soon more and more secrets came out in light. She had been serving Luther for the past few years and gained such valuable resources within short time only with the help of Luther's influence. But Luther never promised to marry her. Thus to stable her status, she married you but continued her bed warmer relationship with Luther. I believe that she planned the entire missing incident with Luther though the exact reason is still unknown to me."

Blake stumbled a step back in astonishment. Never in his imagination, he expected that Victoria would cheat on him. His words came out suturingly,
" The baby..was..it mine?"

Asher resumed shaking his head unknowingly,
" I..I don't know about it..May be you can find your answer once you go there. By the way, Luther is harmless now. His younger brother, Lucas has taken over his empire and left him with few dollars probably."

Blake inhaled a deep breath and barked brusting out in pain and anger,
" Why did she frame Veronica then?"

Asher exhaled a long sigh of relief as he responded patting on his shoulder,
" I don't know but I hope that you can have a new start with Veronica."

Blake looked up at Asher gratefully and muttered,
" But Asher..You..."

Asher cut off his words with a painful smile,
" You know whom she loves, Blake."

********************

Blake reached at the Riveria Building according to Asher's words. It was almost late at night and the building was nearly empty as if no one lived there. He entered into the elevator and went straight for the flat number 17.

As soon as he stepped outside, he heard faint noises of two people echoing through the corridor. The more, he stepped closer, the more he heard the noises clearly. It wasn't any natural noises but groans and moans of couple who were passionately having intercourse.

His jaw dropped in disbelief when he detected that the female voice belonged to Victoria. Stopping in front of the door, he knocked twice with a clenched jaw. The door creaked open after a while and Victoria's half naked body appeared on his sight.

Victoria gasped widening her eyes apart,
" Blake.. You..."

Blake's eyes travelled behind her and spotted a smirking Luther who was pulling up his zipper provokingly. Victoria started suturing to convince Blake nervously,
" Blake.. Listen to me..It's not what you think..I was actually..."

SLAP!

Blake slapped her so hard that she missed her balance and fell on the floor. His eyes glared down on the woman whom he loved and believed all this years,
" Why? Why did you do this to me Victoria? Just tell me, was that child mine?"

Victoria pressed her lips together as low whimpers began to come out from her lips. Luther chuckled thinking that the truth would hurt Blake Davidson terribly.

Since he had nothing to loose, Luther replied on behalf of Victoria truthfully,
" No, Blake. This bitch was so terrible that he made me set the entire trap to cover her pregnancy from you, Blake. That child was mine and this bitch lost it during a mission in my territory. She was jealous freak on her sister and asked me to frame her."

Victoria yelled at Luther frustratingly,
" Luther.. Shut the fuck up..You.."

Luther laughed at Victoria and continued amusingly,
" Lol! Do you still think that Blake would believe on you? I am quite sure that he has come here to ensure the truth. Listen to me Blake, the child was never yours. She thought at first that the child belonged to you. But later on, she happened to figure out that the child was mine. Then she forced me to fake everything and decided to give birth to that child in my nation. So we set this entire trap but you were too cunning to find me out fast. Since she lost the child and lost a lot of blood, I decided to keep her few days. Even she shot me there according to my plan so that we both can be escaped from our punishments. I knew that those military would search for me everywhere if I don't surrender. So I made this mastermind plan. So how was my revenge on you?"

Blake only kept staring down at Victoria disbelievingly. Hatred towards her grew stronger when he learnt that she tried to pass him another man's child. Blake laughed out bitterly and replied to Luther,
" You just opened my eyes, Luther. For the sake of your unborn child and my marriage with Victoria, I wouldn't file another case for both of you. But Victoria...."

Blake looked down at Victoria who raised her head to stare at him guiltily,
" If you insist on keeping this marriage, I will have no choice but reveal your malicious actions to public. Before coming here, I still pitied you but now, I believe that we were never meant to be each others. You were faking your affection entire time on me. You disgust me, Victoria. If you wanted to let go of me, why didn't you just ask me? But yeah, I am glad that you had done this to me. At least, I have found Veronica in this way. Never appear on my sight again."

Blake left with a broken heart and heard Victoria's sobbing from his back,
" Blake.. Come back..I am.. sorry.. Blake... Blake.."

Luther didn't let her go and whispered in a soft voice,
" Let him go, Victoria. You can't force his heart to love you anymore. Not after this.."

********************
Veronica was crying in her personal apartment hardly. Shrieking at a corner, she was trying to register everything inside her heart. This could be her happiest day of life but she felt empty in her heart. The moment, Blake walked away from her, her soul left her body. She knew that there wouldn't be any turning back anymore since Victoria knew everything and would probably go on rampage tomorrow.

The bell of her apartment rang annoyingly. She jerked lifting up her weight from the ground and paced on the doorway clumsily. Without bothering to look through the peephole, she pushed open the door and a familiar figure embraced her suddenly.

Before she could utter a single word, hot lips sealed her mouth. Tongue danced together and she was soon whimpering in such intense contact.

Blake discontinued their passonate kiss and pressed his forehead onto her. Breathing in her familiar scent, he mumbled emotionally,
" Would you like to take my surname as yours, Miss Supermodel?"
