Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband

Chapter 12 BLAIRE “What do you mean we’re not going to our house. Blaire? My father asked. once inside the car. Clifford brought another car for us since the one that we used to drive here was only fit for two passengers. I figure that it’s better to tell him about it now. I couldn’t answer immediately. I was contemplating how to put it lightly so that the news about the attack wouldn’t affect his health. I was glad that Sebastian volunteered to answer. “There’s some problem with the bank. But it is not something to worry about. You’ll be back in your house in no time. For now, you’ll all be staying at our house. Stacy and Catherine were already there.” Sebastian said. “But didn’t you say you were trying to have a child? Wouldn’t our presence be a problem for both of you? I think I still have one property in Miami that I haven’t put on the bank. We8 can stay there in the meantime,” he suggested. “Dad, no.” I disagree. “It’s better that you stay with me so I can take care of you.” “Honey, Stacy will definitely take care of me,” he insisted. “I doubt that.” I murmured. My father definitely heard that, but he fell deaf. I never liked Stacy, but I respected her because I knew she made my father happy. “Please, stay with us for a little longer. Just to make sure that you’re okay.” Dad looked at Sebastian in the rear-view mirror as if confirming if it was really okay for him to stay with us. He then smiled before he answered his unspoken question. “It’s fine, Rafael. You can stay with us. Besides, Blaire and I were rather creative. We’ll find a way. And of course, our room is soundproof, so it wouldn’t be a problem.” My eyes widen in shock upon hearing his last words. I gave him a stern look. My checks were burning from embarrassment. On the other hand, 1/5

Chapter 12 Sebastian doesn’t look bothered, but rather, he’s clearly enjoying my discomfort. I’m glad that he was sitting in front while Clifford was the one driving for us and my father took the back seat. It didn’t take long before we finally reached Sebastian’s house. Sebastian probably told them that my father would be discharged today, so we found both of them waiting outside the mansion for us. Stacy was smiling sweetly, as was Catherine. But the latter’s eyes were more focused on my husband than my father. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes upon seeing them. Am I the only one who sees how fake they are?

“Honey, I’m happy you’re finally home!” Stacy greeted my father as she quickly attended to him. “This isn’t your home, Stacy.” I brushed her off. ea She gave me a nasty glare but didn’t say anything. I responded by rolling my eyes at her. I’m not here to please any of them, so why would I bother pretending to be nice? As we’re about to get inside the house, I feel a strong arm pulling at my waist. I looked to my side and found Sebastian with a playful smile on his face. He then slolfully lowered his head and put his mouth near my ear. “I saw you roll your eyes,” he whispered. I glare at him. “You warned me not to roll my eyes at you. That doesn’t mean I can’t d it with others,” I reasoned out. He smirked. “You do know how to make your way around things, don’t you? You’re smart.” He looks so proud. I raised my eyebrows and said, “I have always been smart. I just pretended. not to know things so I wouldn’t hurt your ego.” He doesn’t seem hurt about what I said, but instead, he burst into a huge laugh. His laughter seized their collective attention, and they all turned. toward us with perplexed gazes. I saw how Catherine glared at us. I didn’t pay much attention to her because her opinion didn’t matter to me. She can curse

me all she wants, for all I care. Chapter 12 “I prepared something for you, honey Stacy told my father. “How? You don’t even know how to fry an egg,” I asked sarcastically. I heard my father’s loud and sharp breath. “That’s enough, Blaire. Can we all just get along?” he asked. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from defying what my father wanted. He needed rest, and the last thing I want to give him is stress. “I’ll try my best, dad.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” he responded. “I don’t feel like eating for now. Would it be okay if I took some rest for a while?” “Of course, dad. I’ll walk you to your room,” I suggested. “No need, sweetheart. Stacy can do that for me. Why don’t you take care of your husband? I’m sure he was tired as well. He has been taking care of everything since I got admitted to the hospital,” he said, turning his eyes towards Sebastian. I looked at him, and somehow I felt guilty for all the things I’d done to him these past few days. But before I dwelled on pity, I reminded myself betrayed our vows. All of these are nothing compared to the pain that I’ve been through because of that. We’re not even close to getting even. He will need more than just paying my father’s hospital bill to make up for what happened. that he did worse than I did. He cheated on me. He reminded myself “Don’t worry, Rafael. Blaire always takes care of me,” Sebastian answered on my behalf before putting his arm around my shoulder. But what surprised me was when he k*ssed me in front of everyb*dy without a warning. I was so stunned to speak that I found myself getting along with his charades. Stacy and Catherine look so surprised. I can’t blame them. Even I was surprised by what Sebastian did. “I’m happy to see that everything is working out between the two of you,” he commented.

Chapter 12 I put on a fake simile as I wait for them to leave, Once they’re gone, I immediately remove his hand from my shoulder. He just chuckled in response. “I need to go. I have a few meetings to attend. I’ll see you later,” he said. But before he left, he planted another brief k*ss on my lips. I hissed at him because I knew he’d done that on purpose. The only audience that we needed to put on a show with is not here. So, I know he doesn’t have to k*ss me, but he did. It almost slipped my mind that Catherine was still there. She instantly greeted me with her fiery eyes once Sebastian was gone. It was as if she completely transformed from this sweet little angel into this evil, coniving b itch. “You will not take Sebastian away from me, Blaire. I’ll make sure of that,” she warned me. “My dear stepsister, I have no plans on taking him away from you. You can have him all for yourself. You just have to put him on leash because, as you can see, he’s the one who keeps on following me,” I responded. She smirked and said, “Sebastian is definitely plotting something. He’s probably going to use you and then ditch you once he gets what he needs. Then he will come back to me just like he always did.” She sounds so confident. I maintain a straight face. Though what she said clearly put doubts in my head, I didn’t let her notice. “You’re probably right. Shall I enjoy and cease this moment with him? It isn’t fair if he’s the only one enjoying this game, is it?” Her face was a Kodak moment. She wasn’t expecting that I wouldn’t fold just like I used to. And that’s the reason why I pushed her further. “Thank you for the heads-up. I’ll be enjoying his company in my bed later tonight.” “Get your filthy hands off my Sebastian!” she yelled at me before launching an attack. She’s about to slap me in the face, but I was quick to catch it mid-air. “It probably slipped your dense head, but let me remind you, Catherine..

4/5 Chapter 12 You’re inside my house. Try hitting me again, and you’ll find yourself homeless, begging on the street. That’s not a warning, but a promise,” I threatened her, quoting what Sebastian used to tell me. She definitely gets the idea because her expression changes. She looks like a drowned rat. I let go of her and turned my back on her. I decided to leave the house and get some fresh air. I don’t think I’d be able to stand staying in that house with those leeches. 5/5Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
