BLAIRE

After taking a shower, I made my way to the library to pick out some

books. I decided to spend the night in Blazes room to ensure he was

alright, wanting to stay updated on his condition.

The library, adjacent to Sebastian's room, also doubled as his office

when he needed to work from home. I recalled how he had instructed

his staff to relocate his workspace closer to our room so he could

remain nearby while working.

Assuming everything remained unchanged, I headed towards the

library, right next to Sebastian's room. I made a gentle knock on the

door just in case there's someone inside. After a couple of minutes, the

other side of the door remained silent. I assumed it was empty, so I

decided to grab a few books as quickly as possible before anyone

came in.

Though I'm already aware that Sebastian specifically told everyone in

this house to make it exactly how it was used to be, it still caught me off

guard how everything seems to be exactly the same.

I shook my head, trying to erase the unwanted feelings that were

creeping into my system. I should stop giving meaning to everything. As

I scanned the bookshelves, I found a few books that piqued my

interest. After grabbing everything I needed, I immediately went out of

the room and headed towards Blaze’s room.

I opened the door carefully as I tried my best not to make any sound so

I wouldn't

disturb Blaze. In there, I found the doctor checking up on Blaze while b

sleeping.

“Good evening, doc,” I greeted.

was peacefully

He smiled and said, “Good evening.” His eyes landed on the books that

I was clutching against my chest. “You know you don't have to stay

here, right? I have nurses and medical personnel that will look after

Blaze around the clock,” he explained.

“I'm aware of it, doc. But I'd still prefer to be by his side when he wakes

up. Besides, I'd also want to know every update regarding his

condition,” I said.

“I don’t speak in general, but I'd like you to know that it's common for

mothers to feel guilty whenever they take some time to take care of

themselves. There's nothing wrong if you'd like to have room for

yourself and have a good night's rest.”

“I can assure you, doc. It's not because of guilt that I wanted to stay

close to my son,” I

replied. My eyes automatically landed on the door adjacent to the room,

right next to

us.

“Then it's safe to guess that it has something to do with Sebastian,” he

chuckled. “You don't have to worry about anything. He's not in there,”

he said when he noticed me looking at the adjacent door.

“I'm not asking,” I replied before walking towards the single couch and

pulling it closer to Blaze's bed. I pretend to focus on the book that I was

holding while Maximus continues checking up on Blaze.

I took a discreet glance towards him, and I saw him with a mysterious

smile playing on his lips as he shook his head. It seems like he was

amused with our setup.

He started packing up his things as he finished with his routine. He then

shifted his gaze in my direction. I quickly averted my gaze and

pretended as if I were busy reading the book.

“One of the nurses will be back around two in the morning to check up

on him,” he informed me. “I'll go ahead. My room is downstairs if you

ever have any questions regarding Blaze’s condition. But I can assure

you that he's in good hands.” He was about to walk to the door when

he stopped and turned around. “Sebastian might be an as shole, and

his ways were a little bit drastic, but he did bring the best medical team

for -Blaze,” he said before finally leaving the room.

I'm perfectly aware of that. Though he indeed made a drastic decision

by taking Blaze out of the hospital without my consent, he made sure

that Blaze was well taken care of. But despite his genuine concern for

Blaze, he still has no right to make decisions for us.

I looked at my son, who was sleeping peacefully. If only I could take all

the pain that he was suffering, I would.

I stood up and carefully tucked him in as I gently caressed his hair, then

planted a soft kiss on his forehead. After making sure that he was

comfortable, I went back to my seat and continued reading.

Time slipped away unnoticed, and it was already ten in the evening

when I heard a stir downstairs. Quickly marking the page with a

bookmark, I set down the book and made my way to check what the

commotion was all about.

As soon as I opened the door, I immediately heard a familiar voice

screaming loudly.

“How dare you prevent me from entering my house? Do you want to

lose your job? Because I'll assure you that's what's going to happen if

you don't get out of my way!”

There I saw the same woman, whom I wished I never met again. I saw

her yelling at Brad, who was blocking her from entering the door. I was

leaning on the railings as I watched her force herself inside the house.

She isn't my problem, and I don't really want to talk to her, so I decided

to go back to Blaze's room and let Brad and the others handle her. But

as I was about to turn around, I heard someone shouting at me.

“Wait! You, b! tch! Who the hell are you? Turn around and face me, you

sivt!” she shouted.

A mischievous smile played on my lips as I realized the irony of our

situation. Who could have imagined that in our next encounter, we'd be

at opposite ends of the rope?

I slowly turned around to face her, just like she wanted. I was satisfied

witnessing how horror was spread all over her face when she saw me.

Her jaw dropped as her eyes widened in shock. She was completely

stunned as she watched me walk down the stairs.

"Y-You? Y-You're back?” she stuttered.

dear step...

“In flesh,” I answered. “I wanted to tell you how it’s nice to see you

again, my or, wait, I mean half-sister. But that would be a lie. Because if

it were just for me, I'd never want to see your face again.”

“Then you shouldn't have come back! How dare you ruin my marriage?

I should have killed you!” She shouted, and her eyes were filled with

rage.

“Seeing how you're still alive and well, it seems like you managed to

dodge death twice. How strange, right?” I commented sarcastically. “Of

all the lies that you told us, I wouldn't be surprised if your reoccurring

sickness was one of them.”

anger.

“How dare you accuse me of such things?” she said as her eyes were

glaring in She smirked before crossing her arms in front of her chest as

she strengthened her back as if trying to control the situation. “No

matter what you say, I'm still Sebastian's wife. We're married, and

you're nothing but a woman who can't accept the fact that Sebastian

chooses me over you.”

“Well, good for you, Catherine. You can have Sebastian for all you

want. We will be out of your hair if it's not for your “husband,” who

insisted that we should stay here,” I replied confidently. “How does it

feel now that you're in my position?” I taunted her. She scoffs, “We're

not the same, Blaire. I'm not a pushover like you. I won't just back down

and sulk in the corner when someone is trying to steal my man. I'm

going to make sure that you'll be out of our lives for good,” she

threatened. She then turned to Brad, who was standing right beside

her. “Throw this trash away from my house. I don't

like it when my place gets dirty,” she ordered.

Brad didn't move an inch, as if he didn't hear Catherine's order. She

frowned when she noticed that Brad remained still. “Are you deaf? Do I

have to repeat myself? My gosh! Why am I surprised by stu pid

people?” she said. “What are you standing there for?” Drag this woman

out of my house!” she yelled before she hit Brad with her purse.

I was surprised when she did that. I understand that she’s upset, but I

don't think it's right to hurt someone who hasn't done anything to you.

“I'm sorry, ma'am. But we can't do that,” Brad finally answered.

“What do you mean you can't do that? I'm the wife of your boss. Do you

want to lose your job?" She said it in annoyance.

“I'm just following orders, ma'am. I apologize,” he said, bowing his

head.

"You, dumbas s!” she shouted as she continued to hit Brad

to With her purse.

I'm so fed up with Catherine's whining. I decided to step up and take

matters into my own hands. “That's enough!” I raised my voice, which

silenced Catherine for a minute. She was completely surprised when I

shouted at her.

“The nerve! Just who do you think you are, raising your voice at me like

that? You're on my property; I can have you arrested for trespas sing!”

she threatened.

A sly smile creeps out of my lips. “I'd like to see you try, Catherine. In

the meantime, I'll have to ask you to leave. Everybody here had a long

and tiring day. I can't let you disturb their evening rest. Brad, please

escort Catherine out of my house.” I intentionally emphasized that last

word.

“Don’t you dare!” she yelled when Brad tried to hold her arm. “You're

following her order and not mine?” she said to Brad, shock evident on

her face.

“Leave, Catherine, while I'm still being nice. Don't wait for me to drag

you out of here myself.”

“You have no right!” she responded.

“Really? Shall we check? If I remember correctly, Sebastian put this

house under my name. And since Sebastian didn't change anything

around this house, I'll assume so is the title of this house, which only

means one thing.” I intentionally hung my words in the air. “You're the

one who's trespas sing, and I'm the one who has the right to have you

arrested.”

She scoffs in disbelief. “Don’t be delusional, Blaire. Everything you

owned was gone when you decided to leave Sebastian. What you're

saying is impossible. You're bluffing, and I'm not st upid to take your

bait. I'm going to call the police, and you'll be out of this house in no

time!” she said.

“Go ahead. Do what you have to do. “In the meantime, I'd like you to

step out of my house now,” I said before signaling Brad to take

Catherine out of the house.

He nodded in response before he tried to hold Catherine’s arm in his

attempt to make her leave, but Catherine raised her hand and slapped

Brad without a warning.

“I said don't touch me! You're fired!” she yelled at him

That was the final straw for me. I seized Catherine's arm and forced her

to meet my

gaze before my hand rose, landing firmly on her cheek. My slap was so

hard that I could feel the stinging pain resonating around my palm. I

smirked upon seeing Catherine's cheeks turn red as blood. I can

already imagine the pain she’s suffering right now. Before she could

even recover, I quickly grabbed a handful of her hair and dragged her

out of the house.

She keeps on resisting, trying her best to remove my hand from

clutching her hair, but she fails. She was cursing and screaming in pain

as I dragged her from the entrance all the way to the gate.

“Open the gate!” I bellowed at the guard, who swiftly obeyed my

command. As soon as it swung open, I shoved her with all my might

until she stumbled to the ground. “It's long overdue. I should have done

that the moment I discovered the lies you told to ruin my marriage.”

She sneered, “Look at you. Acting so high and mighty when the truth is,

you're nothing but a cheap mistress. You can do nothing to change

that.”

“Don’t worry, my dear sister. I have no intention of stealing Sebastian

away from you like you did. You can have him for as long as you want.

But please do me a favor and tell your husband to leave me alone.

Maybe by that, we'll both get what we wanted,” I said before leaving her

outside. “Close the gate, and don't let that woman step into this house

while we're here.”

“This is far from over, Blaire!” Catherine threatened, but I didn’t bother

looking at her. “Yes, this is only the beginning.” I whispered to myself.
