Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Chapter 99

BLAIRE

I winced in pain when I finally regained consciousness. I felt a tight rope wrapped around my wrist. I found myself tied to a chair. I noticed a voice coming from a few feet away from where I was sitting.

"You promised she's not coming back! That's why I agreed with you when you insisted that I shouldn't kill her!" It was Catherine's voice. I'm sure of that.

I pretend to still be unconscious, so I'll get a chance to listen to what they are planning to do.

"Don't blame this on me. You're the one who didn't manage to control your man!"

"How can I do that when I am in jail?" Catherine exclaimed.

"Well, I don't see you having a problem getting out of jail when you heard about Sebastian finding Blaire, do you?" Grant said it sarcastically.

"You have no idea what I've been through just to get out of that hellhole! I needed to sell my soul to the devil just so I could stop them from getting their happily ever after."

"How ironic, isn't it? You, the devil herself, selling yourself to the devil?" he sneered.

"Bastard! I don't need your smart mouth. I'm going to finish what should have been done a long time ago!" She said this before grabbing the gun from Grant's waist.

I shut my eyes when I saw her walking towards me. I was holding my breath, waiting for my end, when I heard Grant's voice again.

"You are not going to touch even a single hair in her body. I'm going to kill you before you can kill her!" he warned.

"Unbelievable," she sneered, until it blew into an evil laugh. "You loved her?" she said in between her laughs. "You're delusional if you think she will love you back."

"She will. She already did," Grant answered in gritted teeth.

"Do you honestly believe that?" Catherine sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "She only acted that way because you made her believe she was your wife! Once her memory comes back, she will never even glance at you twice." Grant's face twisted with rage, his fists clenching at his sides. "I will never let that happen," he growled. "Why do you think I gave her that medicine every day? Without a trigger, her memories will never return. But that bastard ruined everything!" His voice escalated to a roar, echoing off the walls.
