Chapter 86
Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes
Chapter 86 Six months ago...
I slowly opened my eyes, and I was immediately welcomed by an unfamiliar ceiling. I winced in when I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I touched my head and noticed a bandage around my forehead.
I looked around the room that I was in. But nothing about it makes sense.
As I looked around the room, I couldnât help but admire its fancy décor. The furniture was all elegant, and there were pretty lights shining from the chandeliers. It was all very posh, but itâs something that doesnât resonate with me. I donât feel any familiarity around this place.
But even with all the fancy stuff, I felt out of place. The room seemed too big, and the walls felt like they were closing in on me. It was like Iâd walked into a whole different world.
I took a careful step forward, the sound of my footsteps echoing on the shiny floor. The room was so quiet, except for the sound of my own movements.
As I looked around more, I felt even more confused. The room seemed to keep changing, like it was playing tricks on me.
With each passing moment, I felt more uneasy. It was like I was lost in a maze with no way out. I opened the door, yet still, the place doesnât make any sense to me at all. I tried to remember where I was, but the more I tried, the greater the confusion that engulfed my whole body.
As the searing pain shot through my head, I couldnât help but let out a loud curse. âDamn it!â
âHey, take it easy. Donât move around too much,â a voice said from nearby.
I looked up to see a man I didnât recognize. He seemed to be trying to help me, guiding me back toward the room I had come from.
Who was he? And why couldnât I remember him? I racked my brain, trying to recall his name, but it was like trying to grasp at smoke. And then it hit me like a cold showerâI couldnât remember who I was, either.
Panic welled up inside me as I struggled to make sense of what was happening. How could I not remember anything about myself? And why was I in this strange place with a man I didnât know?

âUh, excuse me,â I stammered, feeling disoriented. He turned back to me, his expression expectant as he waited for me to speak. âWhere am I? And I didnât mean to be rude, but who are you?â
His features softened, and he approached me with a gentle smile, his eyes filled with warmth.
âWe got into an accident while sailing. You were out for a few days,â he explained, his tone gentle but matterâof-
fact.
I tried to process his words, but my mind felt foggy, memories slipping through my grasp like sand through fingers. Frowning, I attempted to recall the events leading up to the accident, but all I could summon was a sharp, throbbing pain pulsing through my head.
He handed me a small pill and a glass of water. âHere, take this. Itâll help with the pain,â he offered, concern evident in his eyes as he watched me closely.
I nodded gratefully, swallowing the pill with a gulp of water. As I did, a wave of dizziness washed over me, leaving me feeling disoriented and off balance.
âThank you,â I murmured, handing back the empty glass. âIâm sorry, but I still donât remember much. Can you tell me where we are?â
He nodded understandingly. âDonât worry. Itâs okay. The doctor says you might have experienced memory lapses due to a concussion. Weâre at my familyâs estate on the outskirts of town. Itâs a quiet place, perfect for recuperating.â
His words only served to deepen my confusion. How did I end up here? And who was this man standing before me, tending to my needs with such care and concern?
âCan you tell me your name?â I asked tentatively, hoping for some shred of familiarity to cling to amidst the chaos of my fragmented memories.
As Grant introduced himself as my husband, I couldnât help but feel a wave of confusion wash over me. His words seemed to echo in the empty recesses of my mind, but they failed to stir any sense of recognition within me. His name, Grant, held no significance to me, leaving me feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty.
âIâm sorry,â I murmured, my voice tinged with frustration. âI donât remember you.â
2/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 86 052% 11:14 +5 Grantâs expression faltered, a flicker of disappointment crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a forced smile. âItâs okay,â he said softly, though the strain in his voice was palpable. âYouâve been through a lot. Itâs only natural that your memory would be a bit foggy.â
But what he said didnât make me feel any better. If Grant really was my husband, why didnât I feel close to him? Why didnât being with him give me that warm feeling of being with someone I love?
As I thought about these things, I felt more and more alone. It was like I was stuck in a bad dream, with people around me who I didnât really know.
Even though I was confused, one thing was certain: I couldnât trust my own memories. They were like pieces of a broken mirror, showing me only parts of what happened and making it harder for me to understand what was real.
With a heavy heart, I turned to Grant, the man who claimed to be my husband, and forced a smile of my own. âThank you for being here,â I said softly, though the words felt hollow and insincere. âI just hope that with time, my memories will return, and I can truly be the wife you deserve.â
Grant nodded, his expression a mix of concern and understanding. âI understand, my dear,â he replied, his voice gentle and reassuring. âWeâll get through this together. And no matter what happens, Iâll be by your side every step of the way.â
Despite his words of comfort, I couldnât shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at the edges of my consciousness. There was something about Grantâs presence that felt off, like a puzzle piece that didnât quite fit into the picture of my life.
But for now, I pushed aside my doubts.
Through the course of the week, I discovered that my name was Dylan. Though I still donât recognize the sound of my own name, I tried to be optimistic.
Days turned into weeks as I tried to piece together the fragments of my shattered memory. But the more I searched, the more elusive the truth seemed to become. Memories slipped through my fingers like grains of 3/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 86 sand, leaving me grasping at shadows in the darkness.
052% 11:14 +5 Night after night, I couldnât sleep as strange dreams haunted my mind. In the darkness, a voice called out, sending shivers down my spine. It spoke a name I didnât know, leaving me uneasy long after I woke up.
Lying in bed, I couldnât stop thinking about the mysterious figure in my dreams. The voice echoed in my head, stirring up memories I couldnât quite grasp.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldnât remember where I heard that voice before. It felt like it came from another world, beyond my fractured memory.
Was it a memory from my past, or was it just my mind playing tricks on me? I couldnât be sure, but I knew one thing: I needed to find out the truth. Until I did, I wouldnât be able to find peace.
T Grant was more than kind enough to stay in another room. Despite him introducing himself as my husband, heâs nothing but a stranger to me without my memory. Although I felt guilty, I donât think itâs fair if we shared the same room while I donât remember anything.
As the days stretched on, I began to feel a growing sense of frustration and despair. It was as if I were trapped in a maze with no way out, stumbling blindly through the corridors of my own mind in search of an exit that seemed to recede further with each passing moment.
Today, I decided to go outside and walk around the area, hoping it could juggle some of my memories.
But as I approached the door, I saw Grant talking to a woman I can hardly remember. They seemed comfortable together, but something about it made me uneasy.
The woman noticed me and looked surprised, like she recognized me. I couldnât place her face or name, which left me feeling confused. Was she a friend or someone from my past?
I stayed by the door, watching them talk, feeling unsure about the situation. It felt like there was something hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered.
Their conversation seemed to taper off quickly once they noticed me, as if they were trying to avoid being caught in the act. It left me with a sense of unease, like there was something they didnât want me to know.
The woman hurriedly left, leaving me standing there with more questions than answers. I turned to Grant for an explanation.
âWho was that?â I asked curiously.

52% 11:14 +5 âJust a friend,â he replied tersely, his expression guarded. His response was cryptic and evasive.
Confusion knotted my stomach as I tried to make sense of his words. Something didnât feel right about the situation, but before I could voice my concerns, Grant was already ushering me back inside.
âPack your bag. We need to leave,â he instructed, his tone urgent.
The urgency in his voice only served to heighten my sense of unease. âWhatâs going on?â I pressed, desperation, creeping into my voice.
But Grant remained tightâlipped, his expression unreadable, as he prepared for our sudden departure.
âGrant, talk to me. Whatâs happening?â I insisted.
âShut up, and pack your bag!â
TT Grantâs sudden outburst caught me off guard, sending a jolt of fear coursing through me. His words were like a slap in the face, cutting through the air with an intensity that left me reeling.
I stood there, frozen in place, as the weight of his anger bore down on me. Never before had he raised his voice at me in such a manner, and I found myself at a loss for how to respond.
Trembling, I took a tentative step backward, my eyes wide with shock and confusion. âGrant, please,â I pleaded, my voice trembling with uncertainty. âI donât understand. Why are you shouting?â
But Grantâs expression remained stony and impassive, his features hardened by a resolve that sent shivers down my spine.
âThereâs no time for questions,â he snapped, his voice clipped and cold. âJust do as I say and pack your bag. We need to leave now.â
His words lingered in the room, making everything feel heavy and dark. I couldnât understand why he was so upset all of a sudden. And why did he want us to leave right away?
Feeling uneasy, I started packing my things as he commanded. But inside, my mind was racing with worry. Why was this happening? What had I missed? And what does that woman have to do with all of these?
With little time to spare, I hastily gathered a few essentials as Grant hurried me out of the house. His urgency was palpable as he practically dragged me towards a small boat docked just behind our temporary residence.
Without a momentâs hesitation, we embarked, the engine roaring to life as we set sail. The destination remained 5/6 Dreame Emergency calls only Chapter 86 a mystery to me, adding to the sense of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach.
052% 11.14 As we sailed along, I glanced towards the horizon and saw several boats heading towards the island weâd just left. It made me uneasy, wondering why they were coming and if it had anything to do with us leaving so suddenly.
I looked over at Grant, but he seemed lost in his own thoughts, his gaze fixed on the ocean ahead. Despite the questions swirling in my mind, I decided to remain silent.
