Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Chapter 82
BLAIRE
Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with Catherine, my voice trembling
with desperation. “Please, Catherine, I'm begging you. Let go of my son. Do
whatever you want with me; just leave my son alone. He's innocent. He has
nothing to do with any of this.”
My heart clenched painfully as I continued, and my words choked with emotion.
“If you want to kill me, go ahead. I'm more than willing to accept my fate. But my
son-he’s still young. Please...” My voice cracked as I watched helplessly, my
son’s hands bound behind his back beside me and his innocent eyes filled with
fear and confusion.
“You still don’t get it, do you?” She sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.
“None of you will ever leave this boat alive.”
As Catherine's menacing words echoed through the cabin of the speedboat, a
heavy silence fell upon us, broken only by the rhythmic thrum of the engines and
the distant sound of waves crashing against the hull. In that moment, time
seemed to stand still, each heartbeat echoing the ominous finality of Catherine’s
threat.
Despite the fear gnawing inside me, I refused to let despair consume me.
Clenching my fists, I summoned every ounce of courage I could muster,
determined to find a way out of this nightmare and save my son from whatever
fate Catherine had in store for us.
“Please, Catherine,” I implored, my voice trembling with a mixture of desperation
and defiance. “I'll do anything you ask, but please spare my son. He’s done
nothing to deserve this.” I pleaded once again. I may sound like a broken record,
but I won't stop begging her if it's my only way to save my son.
Catherine's lips curled into a cruel smile, her eyes gleaming with malice as she
regarded me with disdain. “Oh, how touching,” she sneered, her tone dripping
with sarcasm. “But it’s too late for bargaining now. You should have thought
about the consequences before you decided to show yourself again with your ba
stard son.”
Her words hit me hard, but I refused to lose hope, even though things looked
really tough. I believed there was still a chance to save Blaze, somehow outsmart
Catherine, and make it out of this nightmare alive.
As the boat raced over the dark waters, I urgently scoured the cabin for an
escape route. Yet, the confined space left me feeling trapped and helpless. Even

I knew I couldn't afford to act recklessly. Every move had to be carefully
calculated if we were to have any hope of surviving this situation.
With my mind racing, I weighed our options carefully. We needed a plan and a
strategy to outmaneuver our captors and secure our freedom.
Gathering my resolve, I turned to Blaze, my heart heavy with the weight of the
situation. “Stay calm, sweetheart,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the
roar of the engines. “We'll find a way out of this.”
“Mommy, I'm scared,” he said weakly. He was catching his breath, and he’s
starting to look pale.
I reached out to comfort Blaze. I extend my arm and put my arms over his head
so I can wrap him around my arms despite my hands being tied. “It's okay,
sweetheart,” I murmured, my voice filled with reassurance. “I'm here with you,
and I won't let anything happen to you.”
But inwardly, my heart clenched with worry. Seeing Blaze’s pallor and hearing the
fear in his voice only strengthened my resolve to find a way out of this perilous
situation. Time was running out, and I couldn't afford to waste a single moment.
“We'll get through this together,” I promised, my voice steady despite the fear
gnawing at my insides.
us,
“Aww, that is so sweet.” Catherine's tone dripped with sarcasm as she
approached
her steps deliberate and menacing. With a cruel smirk, she reached out and
grasped Blaze’s delicate cheeks in her hand, her grip tight and intimidating. “You
look exactly like your mother. But your eyes-you have Sebastian's eyes, which
makes me despise you even more,” she said.
“I said, don’t touch my son!” I shouted, attempting to pry her hand away from
Blaze’s face. But my defiance was met with a vicious blow to my own cheek,
sending a sharp pang of pain shooting through my face. I tasted the metallic ta
ng of blood in my mouth as I recoiled from the impact.
“You don't get to give orders here!” she spat, her voice dripping with venomous
rage.
Despite the searing pain in my cheek and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth,
I refused to let Catherine’s assault deter me. With a surge of determination, I
gathered my strength and pushed myself back up, my focus unwavering on

protecting my son.
“Leave him alone!” I demanded, my voice quivering with a mixture of fear and
anger.
Catherine's laughter cut through the air like a knife, sending shivers down my
spine. “You really are as pathetic as they say,” she sneered, her grip on Blaze
tightening.

I lunged forward, desperation fueling my actions as I attempted to wrestle Blaze
free from her grasp. But Catherine was far stronger than I had anticipated, her
hold unyielding as she effortlessly fended off my attempts to rescue my son.
“Stop struggling, Blaire,” she hissed, her voice low and menacing. “It'll be much
easier for everyone if you just accept your fate.”
But I refused to surrender; my resolve was hardened by the thought of losing my
son to this cruel and heartless woman. With every ounce of strength I could
muster, I fought on, determined to protect Blaze at all costs.

from Catherine’s grasp, pulling Blaze into my arms and holding him tightly
against me. But our victory was short-lived as Catherine lunged forward, her
eyes blazing with fury.
With no other options left, I braced myself for the inevitable confrontation,
determined to do whatever it took to protect my son from harm. The battle for our
survival had only just begun, and I knew that the stakes had never been higher.
