Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Chapter 75
BLAIRE
After taking a shower, I made my way to the library to pick out some books. I decided to spend the night in Blaze’s room to ensure he was alright, wanting to stay updated on his condition.
The library, adjacent to Sebastian’s room, also doubled as his office when he needed to work from home. I recalled how he had instructed his staff to relocate his workspace closer to our room so he could remain nearby while working.
Assuming everything remained unchanged, I headed towards the library, right next to Sebastian’s room. I made a gentle knock on the door just in case there’s someone inside. After a couple of minutes, the other side of the door remained silent. I assumed it was empty, so I decided to grab a few books as quickly as possible before anyone came in.
Though I’m already aware that Sebastian specifically told everyone in this house to make it exactly how it was used to be, it still caught me off guard how everything seems to be exactly the same.
I shook my head, trying to erase the unwanted feelings that were creeping into my system. I should stop giving meaning to everything. As I scanned the bookshelves, I found a few books that piqued my interest. After grabbing everything I needed, I immediately went out of the room and headed towards Blaze’s room.
I opened the door carefully as I tried my best not to make any sound so I wouldn’t

was peacefully
He smiled and said, “Good evening.” His eyes landed on the books that I was clutching against my chest. “You know you don’t have to stay here, right? I have nurses and medical personnel that will look after Blaze around the clock,” he explained.
“I’m aware of it, doc. But I’d still prefer to be by his side when he wakes up. Besides, I’d also want to know every update regarding his condition,” I said.
“I don’t speak in general, but I’d like you to know that it’s common for mothers to feel guilty whenever they take some time to take care of themselves. There’s nothing wrong if you’d like to have room for yourself and have a good night’s rest.”
“I can assure you, doc. It’s not because of guilt that I wanted to stay close to my son,” I

replied. My eyes automatically landed on the door adjacent to the room, right next to
us.

“Then it’s safe to guess that it has something to do with Sebastian,” he chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about anything. He’s not in there,” he said when he noticed me looking at the adjacent door.
“I’m not asking,” I replied before walking towards the single couch and pulling it closer to Blaze’s bed. I pretend to focus on the book that I was holding while Maximus continues checking up on Blaze.
I took a discreet glance towards him, and I saw him with a mysterious smile playing on his lips as he shook his head. It seems like he was amused with our setup.
He started packing up his things as he finished with his routine. He then shifted his gaze in my direction. I quickly averted my gaze and pretended as if I were busy reading the book.
“One of the nurses will be back around two in the morning to check up on him,” he informed me. “I’ll go ahead. My room is downstairs if you ever have any questions regarding Blaze’s condition. But I can assure you that he’s in good hands.” He was about to walk to the door when he stopped and turned around. “Sebastian might be an as shole, and his ways were a little bit drastic, but he did bring the best medical team for -Blaze,” he said before finally leaving the room.
I’m perfectly aware of that. Though he indeed made a drastic decision by taking Blaze out of the hospital without my consent, he made sure that Blaze was well taken care of. But despite his genuine concern for Blaze, he still has no right to make decisions for us.
I looked at my son, who was sleeping peacefully. If only I could take all the pain that he was suffering, I would.
I stood up and carefully tucked him in as I gently caressed his hair, then planted a soft kiss on his forehead. After making sure that he was comfortable, I went back to my seat and continued reading.
Time slipped away unnoticed, and it was already ten in the evening when I heard a stir downstairs. Quickly marking the page with a bookmark, I set down the book and made my way to check what the commotion was all about.
As soon as I opened the door, I immediately heard a familiar voice screaming loudly.
“How dare you prevent me from entering my house? Do you want to lose your job? Because I’ll assure you that’s what’s going to happen if you don’t get out of my way!”

There I saw the same woman, whom I wished I never met again. I saw her yelling at Brad, who was blocking her from entering the door. I was leaning on the railings as I watched her force herself inside the house. She isn’t my problem, and I don’t really want to talk to her, so I decided to go back to Blaze’s room and let Brad and the others handle her. But as I was about to turn around, I heard someone shouting at me.
“Wait! You, b! tch! Who the hell are you? Turn around and face me, you slvt!” she shouted.
A mischievous smile played on my lips as I realized the irony of our situation. Who could have imagined that in our next encounter, we’d be at opposite ends of the rope?
I slowly turned around to face her, just like she wanted. I was satisfied witnessing how horror was spread all over her face when she saw me. Her jaw dropped as her eyes widened in shock. She was completely stunned as she watched me walk down the stairs.
“Y-You? Y-You’re back?” she stuttered.
dear step…
“In flesh,” I answered. “I wanted to tell you how it’s nice to see you again, my or, wait, I mean half-sister. But that would be a lie. Because if it were just for me, I’d never want to see your face again.”
“Then you shouldn’t have come back! How dare you ruin my marriage? I should have killed you!” She shouted, and her eyes were filled with rage.
“Seeing how you’re still alive and well, it seems like you managed to dodge death twice. How strange, right?” I commented sarcastically. “Of all the lies that you told us, I wouldn’t be surprised if your reoccurring sickness was one of them.”
anger.
“How dare you accuse me of such things?” she said as her eyes were glaring in She smirked before crossing her arms in front of her chest as she strengthened her back as if trying to control the situation. “No matter what you say, I’m still Sebastian’s wife. We’re married, and you’re nothing but a woman who can’t accept the fact that Sebastian chooses me over you.”
“Well, good for you, Catherine. You can have Sebastian for all you want. We will be out of your hair if it’s not for your “husband,” who insisted that we should stay here,” I replied confidently. “How does it feel now that you’re in my position?” I taunted her. She scoffs, “We’re not the same, Blaire. I’m not a pushover like you. I won’t just back down and sulk in the corner when someone is trying to steal my man. I’m going to make sure that you’ll be out of our lives for good,” she threatened. She then turned to Brad, who was standing right beside her. “Throw this trash away from my house. I don’t

like it when my place gets dirty,” she ordered.
Brad didn’t move an inch, as if he didn’t hear Catherine’s order. She frowned when she noticed that Brad remained still. “Are you deaf? Do I have to repeat myself? My gosh! Why am I surprised by stu pid people?” she said. “What are you standing there for?” Drag this woman out of my house!” she yelled before she hit Brad with her purse.
I was surprised when she did that. I understand that she’s upset, but I don’t think it’s right to hurt someone who hasn’t done anything to you.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. But we can’t do that,” Brad finally answered.
“What do you mean you can’t do that? I’m the wife of your boss. Do you want to lose your job?” She said it in annoyance.
“I’m just following orders, ma’am. I apologize,” he said, bowing his head.
“You, dumbas s!” she shouted as she continued to hit Brad
