BLAIRE

We end up going home earlier than he planned. He was thinking about

staying at the hotel for the night to have some space and time for

ourselves, but I didn't like what he did a while ago while I was talking to

Ethan. I understand that he’s jealous and wants to assert dominance;

however, he can't just do as he pleases. I'm just glad that Ethan seems

clueless about what's happening on the other line. If he noticed it, I

don't think I still have the strength to face him out of embarrassment.

“Are you still mad?” he asked while we were in his car.

I looked at Clifford, who was driving the car, worried that he might hear

what we were arguing about. Sebastian seemed to notice that, so he

pressed a button to close the small window between the front and back

seats. Once we finally had a little privacy inside the tinted car, he

quickly buried his face against the burrow of my neck and hugged me

tightly.

“I'm sorry if I got jealous back then,” he murmured against my skin.

I can feel the warmth of his breath and the vibration of his voice against

my skin. I tried to ignore the heat that started to crawl into my system,

but it's hard, especially when he’s this close to me. Regardless, I need

to be firm about this. I can’t let him act like a wild beast whenever he's

jealous.

“It's not your jealousy that's the problem here. It's what you do when

you're jealous. Do you realize how embarrassing it is for me if Ethan

has any hint of what we were doing?" I snapped at him.

“So, what if he knows? You're my wife, and I'm your husband. It's

normal if we do that. sort of thing,” he debated.

“It's normal when we are alone. But it's not when I'm talking to

someb*dy!” I responded angrily.

He tightened his hug even more as he buried his face deeper against

my neck, like a child. “Okay, I'm sorry. I promise not to do it again,” he

promised.

“You should be. “Cause if you do that again next time, I'm going to

forbid you to touch me for a month,” I warned him.

“A month?” I jolted from leaning on my should and looked at me with

wide eyes. “Are you planning to kill me?” he added.

I hissed, “Oh, don't be dramatic. You managed to stay celibate for a

year, didn't you?"

Chapter 17

“I did. But that's different. You've been away, so I have no other choice.

However, it's totally different when you're this close to me and you're

forbidding me to touch you. That's like a death sentence, love,” he

debated.

“Then don't do it again. Simple.”

“Fine,” he scoffed before hugging me again. This time, I didn’t protest. I

like the feeling. of his warm b*dy wrapped around mine.

Now that everything is starting to sink in, I realize how much I missed

him. I never stopped loving him. Despite convincing myself a lot of

times that I don’t love him anymore, I know I'm just fooling no one but

myself.

As I was just starting to get comfortable, I noticed that we had already

parked outside our house. Clifford quickly got off the car to open the car

door for me.

“Aren't you coming?” I asked him when I noticed that he wasn't coming

down with me.

“As much as I wanted to stay this whole afternoon with you, I better

finish all my work today. I'm planning to take the week off starting

tomorrow. So, I have a lot of work to finish today,” he answered. “But I'll

be home for dinner. Wait for me. I want to have dinner with you,” he

added.

I giggled and said, “I'll see you later then. What do you have in mind?

I'll cook it for you,” I asked him.

“I'd rather have you for dinner,” he said seductively before reaching for

my hand and planting soft k*sses on top of it.

Clifford quickly looked away, pretending not to hear his boss flirt. He

looks uncomfortable. On the contrary, Sebastian looks like he’s

enjoying himself as he continues to tease me.,

“That's for dessert. Now, what are you having for dinner?” I said,

responding to his flirting with equal seduction.

Sebastian was about to respond when Clifford cleared his throat,

reminding us of his presence. Sebastian chuckled as he shook his

head before turning his attention back at

me.

“Suprise me, love. I don’t care what you cooked; as long as your hands

are the ones who prepare it, I'll certainly love it,” Sebastian said before

planting another gentle k*ss on my hand.

“Be safe. I'll see you later, I said before leaning closer to him and

k*ssing him on the lips. I had a feeling that he'd grab me to deepen the

k*ss, so I quickly moved away before he could even lift his hand.

Chapter 17

I can’t help but smile watching him pout his lips in protest. “Should I just

stay here? Work can wait, right?” he suggested.

I roll my eyes at him for being so impatient. “Go to work. I don’t want

my husband to go broke just because he can't keep his d*ck in his

pants.”

Surprise dances across his face as my unexpected words linger in the

air. Amusement twin kles in my eyes, and I can’t resist a playful wink

before making my way toward the door.

His stunned silence becomes a canvas upon which my enjoyment

paints itself. It's a moment of satisfaction watching him caught off

guard, words momentarily escaping

him.

Just as his car inches closer to the gate, my phone rings, breaking the

momentary silence. A smile plays on my lips as I glance at the screen,

revealing my husband's name. The timing adds a touch of irony to the

situation, and I answer with a composed demeanor. The juxtaposition

of my lingering encounter with the unexpected call creates a curious

blend of emotions within me.

I answer the call with a smile on my face. I haven't even said anything

yet since I heard. him speak on the other line. “I'm going to fck you so

hard tonight that you won't be able to walk the next day,” he said with

his deep and baritone voice. He didn’t wait for my answer and

immediately hung up the phone. Just as the car was making its turn, I

saw him looking outside the window with a playful smirk on his lips.

I shook my head while giggling as I watched him leave. Once he’s

finally gone, that's when I go inside the house. I close the door behind

me and head towards the stairs to go up to my room. I was just a few

steps away from the door when I heard something speak from behind

me.

“I think I underestimated your expertise to seduce my man. It's been

days since you came back, and you already managed to wrap him

around your fingers? You're really something,” Catherine said.

I took a deep breath before facing her. I was so over the moon because

I patched everything with Sebastian that I totally forgot who to blame for

our misunderstanding.

“I've already given you a year of advantage, dear sister. It's not my fault

that you didn’t get Sebastian, despite having him for yourself for the

whole year. Maybe

year. Maybe you didn't underestimate me; rather, you overestimated

yourself. You thought that by discarding me, you'd finally manage to

take my husband away from me. Too bad my husband has no interest

in you. You're the past; I'm the present and his future. So, I'm warning

you, Catherine. I will not let you destroy my marriage again. The

moment you try something like that again, I'll make sure that you'll be

waking up with no roof above your head and begging for a piece of

bread just so you can eat.

“Don’t be too confident, Blaire. I am Sebastian's first love. You don't see

how he was trying to give me everything I needed whenever I asked

him to. You don't see the look in his eyes when we're alone. I know

Sebastian still loves me. If you hadn't come back, we'd probably be

married by now.”

I sneered, “I can’t believe how delusional you are. I was so stu pid for

falling for all your lies. I wasted a year away from my husband just

because I didn’t trust him enough and chose to believe your

meaningless words. But that's over now. If you try to ruin my marriage

again, I'm going to Kill you,” I warned her.

I didn’t wait for her answer. I turn my back and head towards my room. I

don’t-have to hear whatever
