Chapter 9
BLAIRE
I was jolted awake when I heard a loud voice. I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get a hold of what was
going on. I looked around my surroundings, and it slowly dawned on me where I was. I almost forgot
that I locked myself inside the walk-in closet and spent the night here. I badly wanted to get away from
Sebastian, and I’d rather stay here on this ufortable couch than sleep in that king-size bed.
“What do you mean you didn’t see any sign of her? Have you checked all the CCTV?” He stayed silent
for a minute before yelling again. “Then, how the hell did she manage to leave? What is she, a ghost?”
he said
sarcastically. “Tell everyone that no one is allowed to rest until you find her. If you don’t, it will be your
head!” he threatened.
I nced at the clock and noticed that it was only five in the morning. I have been missing all night, and
he only noticed it this morning?
I hissed, “I’m guessing he just returned. That’s the only possible reason. why he only noticed it then.” I
grabbed my robe and put it on. I wanted to let him go crazy around looking for me for a little longer, but
then I remembered that I needed to go back to the hospital to check on my
father.
I walk to the door and open it. Sebastian quickly shifted his gaze tow me when he heard the creaking of
the door. I looked at him withzy It didn’t fail my eyes when he dropped his jaw when he finally
realized that I had been hiding in the closet the whole time.
“Nevermind. She’s here,” he said to the person he was talking to on the other line before hanging up
the phone. “Have you been here all night?” he asked before quickly taking the distance between us
until our faces were inches away from each other.
Unlike yesterday, I’mpletely in my senses now. I’m aware that I shouldn’t put myself in a
compromising position whenever Sebastian is around. So without second thought, I immediately
moved away and put distance between them.

Chapter 9
“Yes, I have spent the whole night inside the closet, yet you only notice it now. I wonder why it is,
Sebastian.”I asked him sarcastically, despite knowing exactly the reason why he hadn’t noticed it until
now. It’s because he clearly spent the whole night with Catherine.
“Catherine is in no good state right now.”
“I believe I have to stop you right there. I don’t care whatever the hell it is that you did with herst
night. I have no interest at all. Why do you think I asked for divorce in the first ce? You can spend
the whole week with her, and I wouldn’t care. Just sign-the papers, and I’ll be out of your hair,” I said,
shrugging my shoulders as if it weren’t a big thing.
He remained silent. I get a chance to stare at him for a little while. I noticed his tossled hair, the dark
circle under his eyes, and his loosened. tie. He looks like he aged overnight. He looked so stressed.
That will never happen, ire,” he answered coldly, with the same iciness. in his eyes. He has always
been serious, but I’ve never seen him like this. It was like a totally different side of him that I had never
known before..
I was about to say something when I heard a knocking from the door. I rolled my eyes when I
heard it.
“Sebastian, are you up?” said Catherine from the other side of the door,
“Your girlfriend is looking for you, Sebastian,” I said before turning my back on him and walking straight
to the bathroom. I have a lot more. things to deal with today than waste my time with their antics. I’d
rather waste my energy taking care of my father than talking to the two of them
I can barely hear the sound of their voices inside the bathroom. Though I’m not really interested in what
they’re talking about, I couldn’t help but be curious. I tried pressing my ear against the door, but I
couldn’t hear anything. After a couple of minutes of trying, I finally gave up. I eventually focus on taking
a bath and preparing myself.
It took me a good amount of time before I finally finished fixing myself. I blow-dried my hair and put on
a little make-up before heading out of the bathroom. Though I noticed Sebastian sitting on the bed
while facing hisptop, I pretended that I didn’t see him. I went straight to the closet.

I went straight to the drawer and ran my hand across the clothes hanging in the closet. It was toote
when I realized that I had left all my clothes in the other room. I was wearing nothing under my thick
bathrobe. I groaned in frustration. I quickly turned around and went out of the closet, but I wasn’t
expecting to bump into a hard and chiseled chest. My eyes widen when I am facing the familiar chest of
Sebastian Foster. I gulped. when I noticed that he was wearing nothing but a white towel wrapped
around his waist.
I pushed him as hard as I could the moment I got back to my senses. “What are you doing here? Get
out of my way,” I grunted before rolling my eyes at him.
“Now, I’m not allowed to enter my own closet,” he asked sarcastically.
“If you didn’t insist that I share a room with you, we wouldn’t be in this kind of situation,” I replied,
raising my eyebrow.
He just smirked. “What’s mine is yours. It doesn’t make sense for us to use a different room,” he said to
justify his decision.
“Whatever,” I replied before walking out of the closet. I hadn’t even
reached the door when I heard his voice again.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.
“I’m going to get my stuff, obviously.”
“Wearing that?” he said, frowning as he looked at me from head to toe.
“You don’t expect me to wear my night gown going out, do you?”
He growled inwardly, “Stay here. I’ll get it.”
So, he can go to Catherine’s room again? I don’t think so.
“You can’t get enough of my sister, can you? You’ll get every chance you get to go into her room,” I said
before even thinking that I sound like a jealous. wife.
But you are, said the tiny voice inside at the back of my head,

“When are you going to stop with this nonsense? I went to see Catherine as a good friend.” He was
exasperated.
I just shrugged my shoulders, staring straight into his eyes as I raised my eyebrow. I was looking at him
intently, as if I were challenging him. In the end, he blew a loud breath in resignation. He looked away
and walked toward the phone. I was watching him closely, wondering what he was nning to do next.
“Candice, bring all ire’s stuff into our room,” he said before hanging up the phone. “Better?” he said
when he shifted his attention towards me.
Instead of answering, I responded by rolling my eyes at him. And before I knew it, I found him standing
in front of me in a blink of an eye.
“What the—-h-how did you get here so fast?” I said it in surprise. I automatically took a step back.
“Didn’t I warn you about rolling your eyes at me?” He said almost a whisper as he continued to take a
step forward, slowly closing the distance between us.
“I don’t remember anything.” I denied while my voice started to tremble.
“Come here; I’ll make you remember,” he said before grabbing my waist. and pulling me tightly,
imprisoning me in his strong arms.
I hitched my breath when our faces were only inches away from each. other. My heart raced when I felt
his warm and minty breath brushing against my face. To make matters worse, the thick fabric of my
bathrobe was not enough to stop my b*dy from feeling the warmth radiating from his b*dy. It didn’t help
that I wasn’t wearing anything underneath. Being this close to him was enough to set my b*dy on fire.
I started to panic when he slowly started untying the knot of my bathrobe. Lust was starting to take over
my system. I’m already on the verge of giving into my desire.
“Do you remember it now?” he whispered, maintaining the close distance. between our lips but not
letting it touch.

My mouth feels dry, and I lost track of how many times I gulped just to ease my sudden thirst. I tried to
open my lips, but no words came out of my mouth. Instead, I nod my head in response.
“Say it,” he said seductively. “I want to hear you say it.”
I feel like I was hynoptized, doing everything ording to his bidding. I just found myself following his
every bidding. “You’re going to make me scream in pleasure if I roll my eyes at you again.”
“It wasn’t a warning, ire. It’s a promise. And I…don’t break any promise,” he said before iming my
lips without a warning.
No! This isn’t right. That’s what I have been shouting inside my head. But my b*dy betrays me as if it
has a master of its own. And that’s none other than Sebastian. He owns every fiber of my being, and
no matter how much I try to deny the desire that I have for him, it will eventually find a way to expose
itself.

But I needed to be stronger than my desire. I can’t let him have his with me whenever he wants to. I’m
not one of his toys to y with. I gather all my strength in my b*dy to get away from his grasp, but he’s
too strong. No matter how hard I pushed, he wouldn’t budge. He continued to k*ss me passionately. He
slid his tongue inside my mouth and taunted me with it. I had no idea how long I would be able to
withstand it before desire took over my whole b*dy.
Just when I was about to lose control, his phone started ringing, bre all the spells that surround us. We
were both catching our breath whe finally let go of my lips. When I realized what just happened, I
quickly pushed him away. This time, he willingly took a step back, putting some distance between us.
I couldn’t look him in the eye after what happened. I can’t believe I allowed myself to be swayed by his
k*ss again. I’m a hopeless case when ites to his advances. I feel like a moth drawn to a fire. I
know it will kill me, but I don’t give a da mn.
To save myself from embarrassment, I ran back to the walk-in closet and locked myself in. I don’t think I
can stand being in the same room with

him right after what happened.
“ire…” he called my name on the other side of the door, but I remained. silent. I let out a sigh of
relief when I heard his footsteps as he walk away from the door.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
