Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband by Mariya Mercedes

Chapter 83
BLAIRE
As Catherine barked orders at her men to accelerate the boat, I felt a surge of
hope flood my heart at the sight of Sebastian drawing near. Turning to Blaze, I
could see the strain etched on his face; his urgent need for medical attention was
undeniable. Time was of the essence, and I knew I had to act swiftly.
“Catherine, please, you have to let Blaze go,” I implored, knowing that reasoning
with her might be our only chance. With Sebastian closing in, I realized that
Catherine might surrender herself without a fight, but Blaze couldn't afford to wait
any longer. I had to try anything to ensure his safety.
But Catherine's response was swift and merciless. “Shut up! I'll kill you both
before I let you go!” She spat, her gun trained on Blaze.
Instinctively, I positioned my,body to shield Blaze, ready to take the brunt of any
harm that might come his way. “If you do that, you'll lose all your leverage.
There's no way out for you,” I countered, hoping to appeal to her senses.
I could see my words resonating with her, planting seeds of doubt in her mind.
Perhaps, just perhaps, there was still a chance to reason with her, to convince
her to spare Blaze and allow him to go with Sebastian.
“N-No, no. I will not let you both get out here alive!” she insisted.
“Look around you, Catherine. Unless you want to die with us here, this is your
only option. Release Blaze and use me as your hostage. You only need one to
get out of here unscratched.”
“Why should I listen to you? How about this? Maybe I should just kill you now
and take Blaze as my leverage,” she smirked.
“Can't you see, Catherine? Blaze doesn't have much time. If he doesn’t get the
medical attention he needs, he could die at any moment. That leaves you
nothing. I'm your best chance, Catherine. I'm begging you, let my son go.”
As Catherine's eyes blazed with determination, she yelled, “Then, let's all die
here together!” Her voice rang out loud over the noise of the engine and the
splashing waves.
In that moment, it was clear she was set on her decision, her hold on the gun firm
as she readied herself for a final stand. I felt a sinking feeling in my chest as I
realized talking her down wasn't working, and the situation was turning
dangerous.
But I wasn’t giving up. With Blaze’s life on the line, I knew I had to figure out a
way to outsmart Catherine and keep my son safe. I need to try everything to
convince her otherwise.

“Then all of these go for nothing. If we die, Sebastian will just move on with his
life and probably find a new wife,” I said. She's obsessed with Sebastian. I'm
sure she will not allow that to happen.
That's what I needed-to give her the will to live so she would consider my
advice.
She looked over her shoulder and noticed Sebastian's team was only a few
meters away. She was breathing heavily as she assessed her current situation. It
took her a few minutes before she finally decided what to do next.
“Get up!” she ordered me before pointing the gun over my head.
“Allow Blaze to go with Sebastian as soon as possible. He really needs to go to
the hospital,” I pleaded once more.
“I said, Shut up! I'll decide when I'm going to allow him to leave!” She was
startled when Sebastian. finally got on the boat. She was shifting the gun
between me and Sebastian.
“Let them go, Catherine. It's me you want, right? Take me. We'll go wherever you
want, just the two of us,” Sebastian said, trying to convince Catherine.
It doesn't matter which options she chooses; what's important is that Blaze can
get the medical care he needs. My heart was thumping as I waited for
Catherine's decision. Every second counts, and we're already running out of
time.
“Please, Catherine. Let my son go.” I begged her once more.
“Shut up! Shut up!” she yelled hysterically as she waved the gun in front of me.
She then turned to Sebastian, whose face was filled with fear and worry. “Do you
think I'm stu pid, Sebastian? Do you honestly believe that you can convince me
that you're going to choose me over this b! tch?”
“I will, Catherine. I am choosing you right now. Let them go. We can go far away
from here,” Sebastian said, still trying to convince her.
With a sneer, she said, “You'll never choose me, Sebastian. The night I walked
away, I knew I'd lost you for good. I came back hoping to reclaim your heart, but
when I saw the way you looked at my sister, I knew Blaire had already won you
over. Your feelings for me were nothing but guilt and regret. Even when Blaire
was gone and you married me, she was always on your mind. You'd leap at any
chance to be with her!”
Tears started to roll down her cheeks. At the moment, my heart swelled with
compassion for her. She was also a victim of circumstances. But it doesn’t justify
all the crimes that she committed today.
“So forgive me if I find it hard to believe that you're going to throw your family
away and choose to be with me.” Pain was evident in her voice. She then
grabbed me and wrapped her arm around my neck as she pointed the gun over
my head. “One wrong move, and I'm going to blow her head off,” she warned.

“Blaire..."” Sebastian uttered my name..
Tears streamed down my cheeks as Sebastian uttered my name. “Sebastian,
please listen to everything she’s saying. I don’t care what happens to me as long
as you promise to take care of Blaze,” I pleaded, my voice trembling with
emotion.
“No, Blaire. I'm going to save both of you!” he insisted, his determination
unwavering.
“Stop being stubborn, Sebastian! Just for once, use your brain and save our
son!” I cried out, desperation lacing my words.
“Please, Blaire. Don't let me do this,” he pleaded.
“This is our only chance,” I replied.
“How touching,” Catherine said mockingly. “Can we now move on to the exciting
part?” She nodded to one of her men as a signal. He then immediately grabbed
something from a box.
My eyes widened in horror when I realized what it was. I started to panic when
the man started putting the jacket wrapped in bombs on Blaze.
“No, no, no!” I objected.
“It's supposed to be yours, my dear sister. But I wasn’t going to find your love
child when I went to your house. So, pardon me if I didn’t manage to bring an
extra,” she said sarcastically.
“Put it on me, not on my son!” I shouted.
“Don’t worry, I'll hand control over to Sebastian once I'm sure I'm safe,” she said,
turning towards Sebastian. “Now, can we discuss my demands?”
“Anything you want, Catherine. I'm all ears,” Sebastian replied.
“Tell all your men to back off,” she ordered.
Sebastian hesitated for a moment, weighing his options. My heart raced as I
watched him, knowing he was facing an impossible choice. Then he took a deep
breath, as if steeling himself for what lay ahead, and reached for the two-way
radio at his side.
“Officer, order all our men to retreat,” he commanded.
“But, sir, we can't do that. Your family’s safety is our top priority,” the voice on the
other end protested.
“Just do as I say! No questions!” Sebastian's voice was firm, leaving no room for
argument.
“Sir, please reconsider. We have a plan,” the voice persisted.

“I don’t care about your plan. I won't risk my family's safety. Now, follow my
orders and get all our men out of there!”
As Sebastian relayed Catherine’s demands to his team, I watched with a mixture
of anxiety and desperation. Every passing second felt like an eternity as I waited
for their response, knowing that the fate of my son and me hung in the balance.
The tension in the air was palpable as the radio crack led to life with the voices of
Sebastian’s men. They were torn between their duty to protect us and their
orders to comply with Sebastian's commands. I could hear the uncertainty and
hesitation in their voices as they debated the best course of action.
But Sebastian was resolute, his determination unwavering, as he stood firm in his
decision to prioritize our safety above all else. His words were like a lifeline,
instilling a glimmer of hope within me even as the situation grew increasingly
dire.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the radio fell silent, signaling the men’s
compliance with Sebastian's orders. Relief washed over me like a tidal wave as I
realized that we were one step closer to freedom.
“Wait, leave the chopper. That's the one we'll need,” Catherine interjected.
“Leave the chopper,” Sebastian repeated over the radio. “I did everything you
asked for; now give me my son.”
“Not too fast, Romeo. I need to make sure that I'll be leaving here safe before I
give you anything,” Catherine answered.
“Blaze doesn't have much time. Let him go, Catherine!” I insisted.
“I'm not talking to you!” she responded, pressing the gun harder against my
temple. “Bring down the helicopter here!” She ordered Sebastian.
We waited until everyone was gone. It took awhile, but once the other boats
chasing us were nowhere to be seen, Catherine signaled Sebastian to have the
helicopter draw closer to us.
As the helicopter descended towards us, its rotor blades slicing through the air
with a deafening roar, I felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins.
Catherine urged me forward, a sinister smirk playing on her lips as she motioned
for me to board the aircraft. With each step closer to the waiting chopper, my
heart pounded louder in my chest, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on
me like a leaden blanket. As I settled into the seat, I watched in horror as she
tossed the remote to Sebastian.
Panic surged within me, my mind racing with fear that the remote might trigger
the bomb attached to my son. Every fiber of my being screamed for Sebastian to
be careful and to handle the situation with the utmost caution. My hands
clenched into fists, my knuckles white with tension, as I waited for his next move.

I felt relieved when I saw that Sebastian successfully caught the remote,
preventing it from triggering the bomb.
“What a sight,” she commented sarcastically with an evil smirk playing on her
lips.
I glanced out the window one last time, my gaze lingering on my son as
Sebastian worked to remove the bomb from Blaze’s body. Relief washed over me
as I watched them from above, grateful that my son would finally be safe.

As our eyes met, I sensed the conflict in Sebastian’s expression. He was torn
between saving me and prioritizing my son, a weighty decision that weighed
heavily on his shoulders. Despite the uncertainty, I trusted him to make the right
choice.

“What now, Catherine?” I asked her, pretending to be brave in front of her.
Catherine's lips curled into a sinister smile as she turned her gaze towards me,
her eyes gleaming with malice. “Now, my dear Blaire, the real fun begins,” she
replied, her voice dripping with
menace.
Despite her threats, I refused to show any sign of fear. “You'll never break me,
Catherine,” I retorted defiantly. “I'll fight you every step of the way, for as long as
it takes.”
Her laughter echoed through the helicopter, sending shivers down my spine. “We
shall see, Blaire.
We shall see.”
As I scanned the interior of the helicopter, my mind raced with possibilities. Every
corner seemed to hold a potential opportunity for escape, but with Catherine’s
men watching my every move, any attempt at rebellion would have to be
carefully calculated.
My gaze drifted towards the open door of the helicopter and the vast expanse of
the ocean stretching out below. The idea of jumping into those treacherous
waters filled me with apprehension, but it also offered a slim chance of freedom.
Could I survive the fall? Would I be able to swim to safety before Catherine's men
could catch me? The questions swirled in my mind, each one more daunting than
the last.
“At least I need to try,” I murmured to myself.
But as I weighed my options, one thing became clear: I couldn't afford to stay
captive any longer. If I wanted to have any hope of escaping Catherine's
clutches, 1 would have to take a leap of faith and trust in my own instincts.
As everything went crazy inside the helicopter, my heart raced with fear and
urgency. I managed to

“What the hell are you doing?” Catherine was caught by surprise. “You want us
all to die!”

Suddenly, the gun went off with a loud noise, making the helicopter shake. We
started to drop fast, the noise of the helicopter blades drowned out by the loud
wind. I felt sick with fear as we headed towards a crash landing, not knowing
what would happen next.

As I fought to stay afloat amidst the chaos, I felt a surge of relief wash over me
as I managed to grab hold of a piece of wreckage. Clinging to it with all the
strength I could muster, I clung on for dear life as the world around me blurred
and faded.
“I can't die here. I still need to see my son,” I whispered to myself.
The last thing I remembered before succumbing to unconsciousness was the
sound of the crashing waves and the distant cries of seagulls overhead. Then,
darkness enveloped me, swallowing me whole as I slipped into oblivion.
