BLAIRE
After taking a shower, I made my way to the library to pick out some books. I decided to spend the
night in Blaze’s 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!”

Chapter 75
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 slvt!” 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.
