Chapter 7
Chapter 7 BLAIRE I can’t believe that I have to endure staying at Sebastian’s house and leaving with my stepmother and stepsister all at the same time. If it wasn’t for my father, I wouldn’t be staying here. Now that they can’t go back to our house, my father has no choice but to stay here as well. I’ll just make sure that my father is in good health and that he’s fine before I leave this house. I heard a soft knock coming from the door. “Miss Blaire, dinner is ready. They are all waiting for you downstairs.” It was Candice. I walk towards the door and open it. “I’m fine, Candice. I’m not really hungry. Tell them they can proceed without me,” I said. She hesitated for a bit, but eventually she had no choice but to go back. and tell them what I said. I closed the door and went back to what I was doing before Candice arrived. I picked up my favorite book and laid down on the bed, leaning against the headboard. I hadn’t even finished the first page of the book that I was reading when I heard another knock coming from the door. I frowned before I headed. towards the door and opened it. “Candice.” My words hang mid-air when it wasn’t Candice who was behind the closed door. “What are you doing here, Sebastian?” I asked when I was finally able to recover from shock. “Picking up my wife for dinner,” he answered while staring straight into my eyes. “Why would you need your wife when you have your mistress with you? Oh, my bad. I’m not your wife anymore, so she isn’t your mistress. Girlfriend, perhaps?” “I didn’t sign those papers, so you’re still my wife,” he insisted. “Then sign them now! Problem solve. I don’t understand why you’re still giving me so much trouble with our divorce when you’re the one who
Chapter 7 broke our vows in the first place,” I told him as my voice slowly arose along. with my emotions that I had kept for a very long time. “Over my dead b*dy, Blaire. I will never sign those papers. You need to kill me first before I let you go,” he said, his voice icy, before striding into my chamber. “Hey! You can’t just barge in here!” I protested, trailing after him. My eyes. widened in surprise as he headed straight for my dresser. I furrowed my brow in bewilderment as he began sifting through my garments. “What in the world do you think you’re doing?”
“Preparing you,” he stated calmly. “You’re accompanying me downstairs,” he declared. “I’ve already told you, I refuse!” I insisted, folding my arms defiantly across my chest. “It doesn’t matter. You, of all people, know how I am perfectly capable of taking your clothes off,” he uttered, leaving me even more perplexed. My eyes grew bigger and bigger as he slowly took up the distance between us. As he moved forward, my b*dy automatically took a step back, if not for the edge of the bed that hit the back of my leg, which stopped me from moving away from him. I grabbed the clothes from his hand. “No, need. I can dress myself up said before running towards the bathroom. I let out a loud breath that I had no idea that I had been holding the wh time once I finally locked the door behind me. I want to scold myself. I hate to admit it, but he still has the same effect on me as he did before. I wanted to pretend that I had already forgotten all the feelings I have for him, but who am I kidding? It still hurts to this day because I still love him. But unlike in the past, I won’t allow that love to blind me. I deliberately took my time inside the bathroom. I was praying that he wouldn’t be there when I got out of the bathroom. But I think Go d is not on my side tonight. I roll my eyes when I find him comfortably lying on my bed while reading the book that I was reading a while ago. 2/6 Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
00:09 Sun, Jan 21 Chapter 7 “You don’t have to wait for me. I can go down alone,” I told him as I rolled my eyes. “And give you a chance to ditch me off again? Not going to happen, my sweet, lovely wife,” he said, followed by a devilish smirk that sent shivers down my spine. “Come on, let’s go. The food is getting cold.” I roll my eyes at him once again. I’m not even trying to hide my annoyance toward him. I walked past him and headed towards the door. I hadn’t taken a few steps when he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. My hands automatically pressed against his chiseled chest to support myself. I hitched my breath when I noticed that our faces. were only inches away from one another. “Roll your eyes at me again, and I’ll make sure that you’re going to scream in pleasure the whole night, he whispered against my lips. I can feel his warm and minty breath brushing against my face. I swallowed hard when my throat suddenly felt dry. I haven’t noticed that I have been holding my breath the whole time. My eyes were so focused on his luscious lips that I didn’t get a chance to hear what he said next. “Blaire…” His calling my name feels like music to my ear. “Blaire,” he repeated. This time, I snapped out of my reverie. I can’t believe that I allowed myself to daydream in front of him. “Let go of me!” I yelled at him, masking my embarrassment with anger. “Stubborness suited you well, Blaire,” he commented with a playful smile. on his lips. “But I will not allow you to defy every chance you get.” He held my arm once again and gently pulled me out of the room. I tried. to s natch my arm back, but he was holding me tightly. Instead of letting me go, he shifted his hand onto mine, joining them together. He didn’t let me go until we reached the dining area. Elena and Stacy turned to us at once. I can see their eyebrows raising when they see us holding each other’s hands. I couldn’t help but smirk. when I noticed how Stacy clenched her teeth upon seeing us together.
Chapter 7 “I’m sorry for making you all wait. My wife feels a little under the weather,” Sebastian said once we reached the table. Stacy looks as if she was on the verge of throwing the knife that she was holding towards me. Sebastian always takes the power seat. And Stacy deliberately took the right seat besides Sebastian while Elena was sitting on the left side. Leaving me with no other space than to take the next available seat, which is beside Stacy. “It’s alright, Sebastian. We’re the ones who wanted to say sorry for intruding on your space. Please take a seat. Stacy prepared this meal as a token of our appreciation.” Elena spoke with the fakest smile I have ever seen in my entire life. “You don’t have to do this, Stace. You’re all family, and helping in times of need was the right thing to do,” Sebastian replied as he settled. into his chair. “But, Ba sty, I really want to do this. I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if you hadn’t answered my call,” Stacy added, her eyes gloating as if she wanted to tell me that she still remains Sebastian’s priority. “You’re my wife’s sister; of course I’ll come,” he answered. Her jaw dropped upon hearing what Sebastian said. I sneered in silence, but they still didn’t fail to notice. I hold my smile as I shrug my shoulder as I start to put food on my plate. I remained silent while the three of them continued their conversation. I’m not really hungry. Aside from tha I don’t think I would be able to hold my meal knowing that I’m sharing it with my ex-husband and his mistress. After a few bites, I carefully arrange my utensils and wipe my mouth with the table napkin. The sound of a chair scraping against the floor distracted. the three of them, and they suddenly became silent. “I’d like to excuse myself. Enjoy your dinner,” I said, breaking the silence. I didn’t wait for their answer. I immediately turned my back and left the dining area. I went straight back to my room and locked myself inside.
I took a couple of deep breaths before I finally recovered from that intense dinner. I’m just glad that it’s finally over. I started to gather my 446 Chapter 7 things as I prepared myself for the bath. I took my precious time and ran a warm bath. I soaked myself in the water for a good amount of time. It feels so refreshing. It somehow relieves some of the tensions all over my b*dy. I can’t wait to lay down on my bed and take some rest. Once I’m done taking a shower, I put on my nightgown before heading towards the vanity mirror. I put on some lotion and some night cream before heading towards the bed. Just as I was about to turn off my lampshade, I heard a knock coming from the door. I glanced at the clock, and it’s already nine in the evening. Who is it? I reached for my robe and wrapped it around my b*dy to cover myself up before I headed towards the door. I slowly opened it, and I was surprised -to see Sebastian and Stacy standing outside the door. “What’s going on here?” I asked in confusion. “Didn’t I tell you that you’re going to stay in our room?” Sebastian asked. coldly, emphasizing the word “our” to make his point. “And I answered you no, right? I don’t have any plans of sharing a bed with anyone, even for a night,” I answered. “Ba sty, it’s fine. I can stay in your room. I wouldn’t mind,” Stacy butted in shamelessly. Regardless of whether Sebastian and I were divorced or not, I was still in awe, watching Stacy practically beg to be with Sebastian. What’s going on with these two? Why do they have to keep dragging me into their mess? I turned to Sebastian, and he was glaring at me. He looks like a predator who’s ready to devour his prey. I cleared the invisible lump in my throat as I tried to maintain our eye contact. But it was me who couldn’t handle. the heat of his gaze, which turned my eyes away.
не “Stacy, you can take this room,” Sebastian said coldly. 5/6 00:09 Sun, Jan Chapter 7 Before I could even react, he bended forward, and the next thing I knew, I was hanging upside as Sebastian put me on his shoulder like a sack of hot potatoes. “Sebastian, put me down!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I struck his back with my eagerness to force him to put me down. But it didn’t work. Instead, he smashed my buttocks in to shut me up. “Stay still. Reserve your strength for later.”
