Chapter 91
Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband (Blair and Sebastian)
Chapter 91
BLAIRE
I was still thinking about whether I should answer Grant's call and face
him. But Steve already made that décision for me when he ran out of
the room and called Grant's attention.
"Grant, we're here!â he shouted.
Caught off guard by Steve's impulsive action, I hesitated for a moment
before gathering my resolve. With a deep breath, I followed Steve out
of the room, steeling myself for the confrontation that awaited.
As we stepped into the hallway, I saw Grant's figure emerge from the
shadows, his expression a mix of relief and concern. âDylan, where
have you been? Are you alright?â he asked, his voice tinged with
urgency.
I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze, the weight of uncertainty
bearing down on me like a leaden
cloak.
âWe need to talk, Grant,â I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
As Grant's gaze fell upon Sebastian, a shadow crossed his features,
his expression turning stormy. âAnd who might this be?" he inquired
with a chill in his tone.
Sebastian stood his ground, his demeanor unwavering despite Grant's
cold reception. âI'm Sebastian,â he replied evenly. âAnd I believe you
have some explaining to do.â
Grant frowned, and anger was evident on his face. âI have nothing to
explain to you. Let's go, Dylan,â he
said before grabbing my arm.
But before he could even pull me, I quickly snatched my arm away from
his grasp. He turned in my direction and looked at me with disbelief.
âThat's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about,â I said.
Grant grabbed my arm once again, and his grip tightened on my arm.
His frustration was palpable. âWe

don't have time for this,â he growled, his tone terse.
I stood my ground, refusing to be led away without answers. âI need to
know the truth, Grant,â I
insisted, my voice trembling with uncertainty. âWho is Sebastian, and
why does he claim to know me?â
Grant's jaw clenched, his gaze flickering between me and Sebastian.
âHeâs nobody,â he spat. âJust someone trying to cause trouble.â
Sebastian stepped forward, his expression unwavering. âI assure you,
Grant, I am anything but nobody. And if you have nothing to hide, then
why are you so
to let Blaire hear the truth?â
âDylan! That's her name,â Grant corrected with an intense voice.
Grant's correction sent a chill down my spine. It was the first time I'd
heard him address me by that name, and the weight of it hung heavy in
the air.
Sebastian's gaze flicked to me, a hint of satisfaction gleaming in his
eyes. âBlaire,â he repeated, as if testing the sound of it on his lips.
I watched the exchange between the two men, the tension thickening
with each passing moment. It was clear that there was more to this
situation than met the eye, and I was determined to uncover the truth,
no matter the cost.
âEnough,â I interjected, my voice trembling with a mixture of fear and
determination. âI want answers, and I won't leave until I get them.
Grant, Sebastian, it's time to tell me the truth.â
Grant's jaw tightened, his expression a mask of frustration and
apprehension. âThere's nothing to tell,â he insisted, his voice strained.
âThis man is a stranger, Blaire. You can't trust him.â
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his gaze unwavering. âAnd what about
you, Grant? What are you hiding?â He countered, his tone laced with
accusation,
I felt a surge of panic rising within me as the tension in the room
escalated. Each passing moment only served to deepen the mystery
surrounding my identity and the conflicting claims of the two men
before
1. me.
âI donât know what you're talking about. I'm not hiding anything. Dylan,
I said, Let's go!" he repeated.

He was about to grab my hand once again when Sebastian stopped
him. âYou're not taking her anywhere.â Sebastian's voice was resolute,
his stance unwavering as he stepped in between Grant and me. âYou
don't get to decide what she does, Grant. Not anymore.â
Grant's jaw clenched, his frustration palpable as he glared at
Sebastian. âAnd who are you to tell me what to do? You think you can
just waltz in here and play hero, don't you?"
Sebastian didn't flinch. âI'm not playing anything, Grant. I'm just trying
to help her remember who she is.â
Grant's scoff echoed in the tense silence that enveloped us, his bitter
laughter slicing through the charged atmosphere like a jagged blade.
âAnd what makes you think you know her better than I do? You're
nothing but a stranger,â he spat, his words dripping with contempt.
Sebastian squared his shoulders, his resolve unwavering. âI'm not a
stranger. I'm her husband,â he insisted, his voice steady despite the
brewing storm of emotions.
âNo, I'm her husband!â Grant retorted, his voice rising with each word.
âSqueeze this into your tiny little head; sheâs not Blaire. She's Dylan,
and she's my wife. Your wife is dead!â His words landed like a heavy
blow, leaving a bitter taste lingering in the air.
Sebastian's jaw clenched, his gaze narrowing with suspicion. âHow did
you know sheâs dead?â he demanded, his tone laced with challenge, as
if daring Grant to reveal the secrets he held tightly guarded.
Grant's expression hardened, his eyes flashing with a mix of defiance
and frustration. âThat's none of your business,â he snapped, his voice
tinged with anger.
*Sebastianâs gaze remained unwavering, his resolve unyielding. âIt is
my business if you're lying to her,â âhe shot back, his tone firm and
resolute. âShe deserves to know the truth.â
Grant's jaw tightened, his fists clenching at his sides. âI'm not lying,â he
insisted, though his voice faltered slightly, betraying a hint of
uncertainty.
I stood between them, feeling the weight of their words pressing in on
me from all sides. âI said that's enough, okay? We can't resolve
anything if we keep on fighting!â

Grant's frustration was palpable as he glared at Sebastian, his patience
wearing thin. âWe're leaving, Dylan. Stop this nonsense and come with
me,â he demanded, his tone sharp and commanding.
But I couldn't ignore the gnawing doubt that lingered in the back of my
mind. What if Grant wasn't telling me the whole truth? What if there was
more to my past than he was letting on? I took a deep breath, steeling
myself for what I knew I had to do.
Shaking my head, I declined Grant's outstretched hand. âNo,â I said
firmly, my voice tinged with determination. âI'm not going anywhere until
you can prove to me that you're telling the truth. Sebastian has shown
me evidence of our past; now itâs your turn.â

As the tension in the room reached its peak, Grant's expression twisted
into a mixture of frustration and disbelief. âYou're making a mistake,
Dylan,â he warned, his voice laced with urgency.
Sebastian, on the other hand, remained steadfast, his gaze unwavering
as he stood his ground. âShe has a right to know the truth, Grant. And
until you can provide evidence to support your claims, I won't let her go
with you.â
I could feel the weight of their stares bearing down on me, each one
urging me to make a choice. But deep down, I knew that I couldn't
simply ignore the nagging doubts that had plagued me since the
moment Sebastian appeared.
Grant stared at me intently. His jaw tightened as his breathing became
heavier. After a few minutes, he took a loud breath before he finally
spoke.
âYou want proof? Fine, I'll give you proof. Come with me, and I'll show
you,â Grant offered.
I frowned in surprise. I have been asking him to show me a picture of
us since the moment I woke up * from the accident, yet he hasn't even
shown me anything when he could easily have given it to me the
âfirst time I asked him to. Was he threatened by Sebastian's presence?
And his willingness to show some proof right now makes me more
confused.
I furrowed my brow in astonishment, taken aback by Grant's sudden
willingness to produce evidence of our supposed relationship. It struck
me as peculiar; after all, I had repeatedly requested that he show me a
photo of us since the moment 1 regained consciousness after the
accident. Why had he hesitated. then, only to offer it up now, in the
presence of Sebastian?

The inconsistency in his actions left me feeling perplexed and
suspicious. Was he feeling threatened by Sebastian's presence,
prompting him to reveal evidence he had previously withheld? Or was
there some other motive behind his sudden change of heart?
The more I pondered the situation, the more confused I became.
Grant's behavior seemed erratic, his
actions shrouded in mystery. It was as if I were peelin
the layers of an enigmatic puzzle, each
revelation leading to more questions than answers t
âI'm coming with you,â Sebastian interjected, prompting me to come out
of my reverie. âUntil you prove
to me that sheâs not Blaire, I will stay by her side.â
