Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband

SEBASTIAN

I can’t believe Blaire actually left me here outside without giving me much context. I may not be in the right position to ask her a question, but not knowing anything kills me inside.

I decided to go down to the lobby while I figured out what’s going on with Blaire.

Since she left, I never once tried to contact her or know what she’s been up to. God knows how hard I tried to forget her and live a normal life without her. But the moment she stepped into my office that day, all that rationale flew outside the window. I haven’t been thinking clearly since she got back. Somehow, I manage to forget everything but her. My mind was filled with thoughts of her and how much I wanted to be with her. I even resort to offering her money in exchange for being

with her.

I know it’s stupid, but it’s an easier way for me to get what I wanted. I had a feeling that I might regret every decision I make, but I’d like to take that risk if that means I’ll get a chance to be with her.

I picked up my phone from my pocket and called a friend of mine who owns a security agency. He got all the resources and tools I needed to get all the information I needed about Blaire.

I dialed his number, and it didn’t take long before he finally answered. “Brandon, I need you to do something for me,” I said as soon as he answered the phone.

“Hi, hello, Sebastian. It’s nice to hear from you again. How have you been?” He replied sarcastically.

“I have no time for pleasantries, Brandon.”

“Well, you’re not paying me enough to go along with your temper. Goodbye,” he said before hanging up the phone.

“What the fck!” I cursed loudly as I stared at my phone in disbelief. I can’t believe he just hung up on me. “You, bast4rd!” I cursed once again before dialing up his number again. After a few rings, he immediately answered. “Brandon, if you hung up again, I swear—”

“Bye, Sebastian!” he said before cutting off the line.

“Fck!” I shut my eyes tightly, trying to calm myself before dialing his number again. I could use my other resources to get all the information I needed, but I don’t want to put Blaire’s privacy in the hands of just anyone. With Brandon, I know that whatever information he gathered about Blaire, he wouldn’t use it against me or anyone else. Brandon seems hard to handle, but he is indeed a good friend.

I waited for a few minutes to calm down before I called him again. After a few rings, he finally answered. “Hello, Brandon. How are you?”

“Oh, hello there, my good friend! What can I do for you?” He was greeted as soon as he got what he wanted. “See? That’s how you greet a friend if you want to ask them a favor, okay?” he added.

“Whatever,” I replied, rolling my eyes even though he couldn’t see me.

“So, what do you want from me?”

I need you to get all the information you can get about Blaire for the last six years,” I ordered him.

“You’re ex-wife?” He said it followed a loud laughter. “You really took your time before you got your head clear, weren’t you?” he teased

I’m not asking your opinion

“So, hot-headed as ever,” he continued. “How soon do you want these details?”

“In an hour,” I answered.

“You’re in a rush, huh? You know we charged for a rush job order, right?”

“I don’t care how much. Just give me all the information I need. Send the bill to my office,” I responded.

“Now, we’re talking! I’ll send you the bill right now,” Brandon said quickly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Send me the details I needed before I cash money from me!”

“Hell no! I have a payment-first policy,” he insisted.

“Tss! You’re acting as if you’re running out of money,” I complained. “Fine. Tell me how much; I’m going to wire the money right now.”

“I work for money! Of course, I have a lot of mouths to feed.”

“Yeah, tell that to the marines. You own half of a fucking multi-billion-dollar security company. You are not doing this for money.”

“You got me, bro,” he chuckled. “I’m not doing this for money. This is me being a good friend,” he added.

“Fck you. Shut up and tell me how much. You’re annoying.”

“Ten million dollars,” he said.

“You’ve got to be fcking kidding me!”

“Take it or leave it, bud. That’s my price.”.

“You’re an asshole! I’ll make sure Hunter knows about this.”

“Oh, he knows, buddy. I’m actually with him right now.”

“Are you both ganging up on me?”

“Yeah, we are,” Hunter answered.

“You’re both an asshole!”

“Send the money, Sebastian. We’re waiting!” Brandon repeated.

“Fine, j3rk!” I hung up the phone, and I immediately initiated the transfer. I called my bank to make sure that the money would be wired in real time. It only took a few minutes before the transfer was successful. Once everything was done, I quickly dialed Brandon’s number again. “It’s done. Now, do your job and give me what I paid for!” I said so as soon as he answered.

“It’s my pleasure, Your Highness,” he teased.

I didn’t bother answering and quickly hung up the phone. “Asshole!”

“You swear a lot. My mom said it’s bad to swear,” said the little voice beside me.

1 frowned and turned in the direction where the little voice was coming. I raised my eyebrow when I noticed a small boy in a hospital gown standing behind me.

“I’m not asking for your opinion. And didn’t your parents teach you not to talk to strangers?” I said it irritatedly. I didn’t mean to snap at the innocent little boy. But the situation is keeping me in a bad mood.

“Didn’t your parents ever teach you not to pick fights with someone younger?” He retorted, his tone echoing with the same frustration.

“I don’t have time for you. Why don’t you go back to your mommy?” I said, pushing hirn away.

“I’m waiting for my mom. Sylvia said my mom is coming tonight, so I’m waiting for her in the lobby.”

“Can’t you wait for her in your room?” I asked, frowing in annoyance. How can a mother let her child roam around the hospital unattended?

“No, I want to see her as soon as she arrives,” he answered.

“Come on, I’ll be bringing you back to your room,” I said, offering my hand to him.

“I said, I’m going to wait for my mommy,” he insisted, crossing both of his arms in front of his chest while pouting.

I was stunned for a minute. Somehow, this kid reminds me of me when I was little. Though, aside from having the same color of eyes, we have nothing in common.

“If you want to stay here, then fine,” I said before turning my back on him. But before I left, I went to the nurse station to tell them about the kid and ask them to look after him while he’s waiting for his mother.

As I approached the nurse station, I heard a familiar voice calling out a name.

“Blaze! What are you doing here? You shouldn’t be walking around the hospital alone!” said the familiar voice.

Before I even turned around to see, I was taken aback. I had a strong feeling it was Blaire’s voice. Without hesitation, I spun around, and my suspicion was confirmed when I saw Blaire with the child I had been speaking to moments earlier.

Could she be the mother of the child mentioned?

Theard from Sylvia that you’re coming home tonight. And I wanted to see you as soon as you arrived. I’m sorry, mommy.”

“It’s fine, baby. I’m just glad you’re okay. Why don’t we go back to your room, shall we?” she asked.

“Blaire?” I uttered her name to catch her attention. I clearly saw how she turned pale, as if all the blood was drained from her body.

“Do you know him, mommy?” asked the child that was clinging to her waist.
