Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

BLAIRE

I was relieved when the doctor finally announced that Blaze was out of danger. Though he may still need to stay for a couple more days in the hospital, he confirmed that the operation was successful. I feel like a heavy weight was lifted from my chest. I’m glad that Blaze was finally out of danger.

It’s been three days since my last encounter with Sebastian. I haven’t heard anything from him since he left the hospital. I’m not really sure whether that’s a good thing or not. I have a feeling that he’s planning something. That’s why I’m trying my best to get Blaze out of the hospital. We need to leave as soon as possible. I don’t trust Sebastian at all. His silence could also be a warning, like a calm before the storm.

“I need to fix some documents for Blaze’s discharge. I’m also going back to the hotel to pack my things so Blaze and I can leave as soon as possible once I settle the bill. Don’t let anyone get inside the room without my permission, Sylvia. If something happens, call me immediately or call the police.”

“Understood, Blaire. Is everything alright? I understand it’s not my business, but I can’t help but feel concerned about you and Blaze. Over the time I’ve been working with

“Thank you for your concern, but you have nothing to worry about. We’re fine,” I answered.

“The man from the other day, was he…?” She didn’t manage to finish what she was about to say when her eyes landed on Blaze, who was busy playing with his toys.

I blew a loud sigh before nodding gently as confirmation.

“Oh, you poor child. I hope you sort everything out,” she said.

“I will, as soon as we get out of here.”

“You’re leaving?” She frowned.

“I can’t stay here, Sylvia. I don’t trust Sebastian. He might take Blaze away from me.”

“He can’t do that, Blaire. You’re his mother. I’m sure the law is on your side,” Sylvia convinces me.

“You have no idea how powerful my ex-husband is. He has the power, connection, and money to turn the tables. If I fight him head-to-head, I have no chance of winning. Running away from him is my best chance to keep Blaze safe.”

“I know I’m in no position to give my opinion, but I wanted to ask: are you sure that it was the best for Blaze? I mean, someday, he might need his father,” she said.

I’m well aware of that. That’s why I’m trying my best to be enough for Blaze so he won’t feel the need to know who his father is.
