BLAIRE

A few minutes after I locked myself inside the closet, Candice arrived

with all my stuff from the other room that I used to occupy.

“Your clothes are here,” Sebastian said after he softly knocked on the

door of the walk-in closet.

I unlock the door and open it. He was about to open his mouth to say

something, but I was quick to grab my suitcase from his hand and

immediately slammed the door. Thankfully, he chose not to press the

matter further. Honestly, I'm confused right now. Sebastian was acting

completely different from what I was expecting. I thought my absence

would finally give him the freedom that he always wanted. But why is

he suddenly acting so possessive? I wonder what happened in the last

year that I was gone.

I took a final glance at the full-length mirror. I decided to wear a flowy

white dress that was just above my knee. I paired it with a red stilleto

and a red sling bag. I laid down my long, curly hair to complement the

look. My deep set almond eyes and thick lashes has been more

emphasized because of the light mascarra that I applied. I also use the

right amount of red lipstick to put color on my lips. My cheeks were

naturally rosy, so I didn bother applying some blush.

While I was here, I noticed that most of the stuff that I left when I filed f

divorce still remains here untouched. But I can’t see any traces of dust

from any of it, as if it were properly maintained. The bag and shoes that

I'm wearing right now were among them.

I took a deep breath as I looked in the mirror. Once I'm ready, I go out

of the closet. I found Sebastian in the room, drying his wet hair with a

small towel. I quickly shifted my gaze the moment our eyes met.

“I'm heading out,” I said as I continued to walk the door.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“I'm going to check on dad,” I answered without looking at him.

“Wait for me. I'll drive you to the hospital,” he said.

“I can drive myself,” I replied coldly. I didn’t wait for his answer and

headed out of the room.

I wasn't even surprised when I found Catherine waiting outside our

door. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrow as I watched her look

desperate while waiting outside our

room.

She greeted me with a smile. But it quickly went away when she

realized that it was me who came out of the room. She is probably

expecting Sebastian; thus, her mood suddenly turns sour. I was taken

by surprise when she grabbed my arm all of a sudden and pulled me

towards the corner in the hallway.

“You shouldn't have come back,” she said firmly between gritted teeth.

I smirked before s natching my arm away from her grasp. “Why? Did

you and Sebastian's work out when I left? Are you threatened

said it

mockingly.

She sneered, “Don’t make me laugh, Blaire. I'm his first girlfriend, first.

love, and first everything. Do you really think I should be threatened by

your presence?” She said it sarcastically.

I tried to maintain a straight face. But the truth is, her words are cutti

right into my heart like a sharp knife. Each cut gets deeper and deepe

she continues to remind me who she is in Sebastian's life.

“You're right. You're his first everything. But how sure are you that you'l

last?”

She clearly wasn't expecting it. She was taken aback and took her time

before she responded. “And who will it be, you?" She said it mockingly.

I smirked, “No, thanks. I'm not interested. You can have Sebastian for

yourself, for all I care. I didn't come back for me. He's all yours,” I

replied before walking past her. I deliberately pushed her with my

shoulder, which caused her to lose her balance. I chuckled as I

watched her fall to the ground.

“Blaire!” I heard Sebastian's thundering voice coming from the door.

“What did you do?” he accused as he helped Catherine get up from the

floor.

I grunted. “Really? Just because you saw her on the floor, you already

assume that it was my fault.

“I saw you push her. What do you expect me to assume?” He

responded while his arm was encircling Catherine's shoulder in a

protective manner.

I looked at Catherine, and I could see the smile playing on her lips.

She's clearly enjoying this, but I will not give her that satisfaction.

I shrugged my shoulders as if I didn’t care less. “Think whatever you

want, Sebastian. I have no time for this,” I replied before going

downstairs.

The people downstairs pretended as if they were busy with their

chores, but looking at their faces, they clearly heard the argument

between me

and Sebastian.

Clifford was already downstairs, probably waiting for Sebastian. I

nodded at him to acknowledge his presence before walking towards

Candice.

“Can you please prepare a car that I can use for today?” I told her.

“Madam, Mr. Foster already has the car prepared for you,” Clifford

butted in.

“He’s probably going to use that. I'm going to use another one,” I

respectfully decline. I looked at Candince, who has been continuously

shifting his eyes in between Clifford and me, as if she were figuring out

which order she was going to follow. When she saw me looking at her,

she quickly moved to find the car key and handed it to me.

“It's in the basement parking, Miss Blaire,” she said.

I smiled at her before heading towards the elevator going to the

basement. I pushed the button, and it instantly opened up for me. I

went inside and pushed another button, going to the basement. As the

elevator door closed, I saw Sebastian and Catherine going down the

stairs. Sebastian was glaring at me. I roll my eyes the moment the

elevator door closes.

It took me a few minutes before I finally reached the basement parking

lot. I pressed the button to see which car this key went to. I turned to

left once I heard the beeping sound coming from the car. I was quite

impressed when I found out that I'd be driving a black Rolls-Royce

Sweptail today.

I immediately got in and let myself settle in. I grabbed the steering

wheel as I started the engine. I drive towards the exit. The door

automatically rolled up once I started to come closer to it. And when I

reached the gate, I frowned when I noticed Sebastian standing near the

gate..

I stopped right in front of the gate and waited for it to open. I frowned

when I noticed that it wasn’t moving. My confusion grew even bigger

when Lnoticed Sebastian approaching the car. Thinking that he's

probably going to join me in the car, I quickly pressed the lock. As I

expected, he was trying to open it. I thought he was going to get mad,

but he remained calm. I saw him reach out from his pocket. I saw him

bring out his phone. I thought he was going to call someone, but I was

surprised when the car suddenly unlocked itself. That's when I realized

that he could control the car using his phone.

He immediately entered the car once he unlocked it.

“Get off the car!” I yelled at him irritatedly. I don't care if he owns this

car. I hate being in close proximity to him, especially after his

accusation at while ago.

“Aren't you going to visit your father? So do I. Let's be responsible

humans. and conserve energy. Do you have any idea how many

carbon footprints a car leaves?” He said it with a wide smile, acting as if

he’s really concerned about the environment.

“Are you fcking serious?” I uttered it in pure disbelief.

“Do you want me to drive?” he asked, not minding my utter annoyance.

towards his presence.

“I can’t believe this!” I responded irritatedly. I glare at him. I haven't

forgotten what he did to me a while ago in front of Catherine. “You have

a lot of cars in the garage; why don’t you use another car?”

Chapter 10

“As I said.”

“Cut the cr ap about saving the environment.” I cut him off.

“I haven't told your dad about what happened to us. What do you think

will happen if you go to the hospital without your husband?”

I raised my eyebrow and said, “I'll just tell him that you're busy, or

you're in an important meeting, or something. I'll figure out something.”

“And painted me as a bad son-in-law? I'm not the type of husband who

would choose work over his wife, who's currently in a deep situation.

Especially now that her father is in the hospital,” he responded.

I bit my lower lip while clenching my jaw. I was out for words. I'm

already out of reasons to kick him out when he’s making a good

argument.

“Fine,” I said, finally resigning from our argument. “If you want to go

with me, then you should buckle up.” I smirked.

“No, thanks. I can manage,” he replied before he started checking up

on his phone to read some emails.

I watched the gate as it slowly opened. Once the path was clear, I

stepped on the gas as hard as I could, and the roaring sound of the car

filled our surroundings.

“Blaire!” He called out my name as he tightened his grip on the edg

seat. “Fcking sh*t! Blaire, slow down!” He shouted as his eyes grew wi

and wider as seconds passed.

But instead of slowing down, I even go faster, as if the road is going to

collapse. “Enjoy the ride, Mr. Foster.”
