Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Despite my instinct to follow Blaire blindly, I knew I had to remain level-headed and think critically. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on my shoulders as I grappled with the need to protect both my son and the woman I cherished above all else.

As much as I wanted to go there myself, I know I wouldn’t be much use there. Catherine will probably use my weakness to hurt those I love the most.

Turning to the head of the task force leading the operation, I sought reassurance in their preparedness. “Are your men ready, officer?” I inquired, my voice steady despite the turmoil raging within me.

“Yes, Mr. Foster,” came the confident response. “We’ve scoured the target area, and everyone is in position.”

As soon as I realized Blaire was missing, a surge of panic gripped me. I wasted no time in reaching for my phone, dialling her number with trembling fingers. Meanwhile, I instructed a trusted friend to use their tracking expertise to locate her signal.

With bated breath, I watched the monitor, my heart pounding as a red dot blinked to life, indicating Blaire’s whereabouts. But then, in a sudden and horrifying twist, the dot vanished.

“What happened? What’s going on?” I demanded, my voice laced with urgency as I turned to the technician in charge of the computer.

“I think she turned off her phone, sir,” he replied, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

My mind reeled with confusion and fear. Why would Blaire turn off her phone in such a critical moment? Did she sense danger? Was she being forced to speak?

Desperation clawed at my chest as I pressed the technician for answers. “Can you still track her signal even if it was turned off?” I implored, my voice tight with apprehension.

“We’ll try our best, sir,” he assured me, though the uncertainty in his voice mirrored my own inner turmoil. With every passing second, the weight of the situation bore down on me, driving home the grim reality of Blaire’s disappearance and the peril she now faced.

My heart leapt with anticipation as I leaned in closer, my eyes fixed on the monitor. Despite the odds, we hadn’t lost her completely. There was still a chance, however slim, of tracking her down and bringing her back to safety.

Frustration gnawed at me as I watched the monitor, and my brows furrowed in confusion. Blaire was veering off course, heading in a direction completely opposite from the address she had provided. It made no sense. We were supposed to meet at the designated location, yet here she was, seemingly headed in the opposite direction.

“Where the hell is she going?” I muttered under my breath, my mind swirling with questions and uncertainty.

As I scrutinized the screen, a sinking feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. The signal, once steady, now remained stubbornly static, refusing to budge from its current location. Panic surged within me, mingling with frustration and fear.
