Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Chapter 72

BLAIRE

We remained silent for the rest of our trip. A lot has changed around the city in the last six years. A few restaurants that I used to go to were replaced with new establishments. I felt nostalgic as we passed by some familiar streets. The furrow on my forehead becomes deeper as we continue to take the familiar path.

I straighten my back and pay close attention outside. It may have been six years since the last time I’ve been here, but I know this way pretty well. It’s like this path was already carved in my memory.

“Ahmm, excuse me, where are we going?” I asked Brad. Though we are taking the same path that I’m too familiar with, there’s still a big chance that I might be wrong.

“We’re going to Mr. Foster’s house, Miss Banks,” he answered.

“Where is his house exactly?” I asked again. But this time, he didn’t answer. My suspicion intensified when I spotted the enormous gate, visible even from a distance as we approached the house. “You’ve got to be kidding me…” I whispered to myself when I finally confirmed what I’d been thinking since we started taking that familiar route,

I’m not entirely sure what to feel as we slowly approach the gate. Brad brought me to the house where Sebastian and I used to stay when we were still married.

Don’t tell me this is where he brought Blaze? What the hell was he thinking?

“We’re here, Miss Blaire,” Brad announced.

I took a deep breath before I stepped out of the car. Each step brought back some familiar feelings that I’ve been avoiding for as long as I can remember. It also brought back memories that I’ve been trying so hard to forget.

My heart was racing as I slowly approached the entrance of the mansion. A lot of things are going on inside my head, but I need to keep my head clear. I’m here to get my son, not to have a trip down memory lane.

“Mommy!” A loud, squeaky voice pulled me out of reverie. “Is this our new house? I like it! I have a lot of toys, and I have my own room!” Blaze said it excitedly.

I couldn’t bear to ruin his happiness right now. I’ve kept him away from the world and the truth about his dad for a long time. I thought I could give him everything he needed with just my love, But now, seeing how excited he is about things he’s never had before, I wonder if I made the right choices.

I’ve kept him from enjoying simple kid stuff to protect him from the truth. But now,

seeing him want things he’s missed out on, I worry I’ve done more harm than good. Maybe, by trying to protect him, I’ve actually stopped him from being happy and having the things he deserves.

I’m torn about my decisions. Is it selfish to keep him in the dark?

I was pulled away from my deep thoughts when I heard Sylvia’s voice. “I’m sorry, Blaire.

I tried to call, but your husband grabbed my phone before I could even dial your number,” Sylvia whispered, trying hard not to let Blaze hear what we were talking about.

Despite what happened, I’m glad that Sebastian brought Sylvia with them. At least I’m relieved that my son was in good hands when he picked him up from the hospital.

“Ex-husband, Sylvia. He’s already my ex-husband,” I corrected her, lowering my voice as much as possible. “It’s okay. I understand. To be honest, I’m glad that you’re with him.”
