Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband

Chapter 56 BLAIRE Leaving the plane, I was still clueless about our destination. Gradually, though, things started making sense. It looked like we were headed to an island. This suspicion became certain when we reached the port, and there, right in front of us, was a fancy yacht ready for our journey. But what confuses me even more was that Sebastian doesn’t like going to the beach. He hates the heat of the sun, and he doesn’t like the smell of the ocean. “Are you going on an island?” I asked him. “Yes, we are,” he answered briefly. “Then, can you at least let me shop for my clothes?” I reminded him. He abruptly took me from my hotel lobby, leaving me with nothing but all the important things in my handbag. He looked at me, weighing whether I’m telling the truth or I was scheming another plot to get away from him. “I’m not going to run away, okay?” I told him, answering his silent question. “You can’t expect me to stay in the island wearing only one pair of clothes, can you?” He raised an eyebrow, his gaze moving leisurely over my figure. A sly smirk played on his lips as he suggested, “Or you can just stay n*ked. After all, we’ll be the only ones on that island. Clothes won’t be necessary.” My eyes widened in disbelief. “You can’t be serious!” I exclaimed, my shock evident. “Watch me,” he retorted, seizing my hand and guiding me towards the waiting yacht. The audacity of his proposal lingered in the air, leaving me torn between astonishment and the undeniable pull toward the unfolding adventure on the secluded island. Despite my protests, Sebastian’s determination prevailed as he led me towards the awaiting yacht. The sea breeze carried a mix of uncertainty and intrigue as we boarded the vessel, setting sail towards the enigmatic island. As the yacht glided over the water, I couldn’t shake the lingering astonishment at Sebastian’s

audacious suggestion. The realization that we might be the sole occupants of the secluded island added an unexpected layer of complexity to the journey. Sebastian, seemingly unfazed by my reaction, wore a confident smirk. “You should stop glaring at me. If looks can kill, I might be dead right now,” he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of mischief. 1/5 Chapter 56 45% +5

Sebastian’s eyes held a glint of mischief as he broke the silence. “You can’t deny the allure of this place, Blaire. It has a way of drawing you in, making you forget the world beyond these shores.” I couldn’t help but scoff, feeling the tension rise again. “Don’t mistake the beauty of the tion Sebastian. This means nothing. We’re only here because of our Chapter 56 deal.” Sebastian leaned against a rock, his posture relaxed, yet his gaze was intense. “Ah, but isn’t that the charm of it all? The island is a sanctuary, a place where we can confront the truths we’ve been avoiding.” I crossed my arms, unwilling to concede. “What truth? This island doesn’t change anything, Sebastian. If there’s something we need to talk about, it’s your reason for trapping me into this deal.” He stepped closer, the playful glint in his eyes evolving into something more profound. “Why don’t we forget everything that we left behind and pretend that everything is fine. That we’re nothing but two lovers having our honeymoon.” “Is that what you want? What will gain from this deal, Sebastian?” “Let’s talk about that some other time. Why don’t we just enjoy the view for a moment?” A mixture of

frustration and intrigue bubbled within me. “You always had a way with words, Sebastian, but words won’t change what happened between us.” Sebastian’s expression grew serious, his gaze unwavering. “Maybe not, but actions can.” As the tension simmered between us, the island stood witness to the delicate dance of emotions.

The aroma of exotic flavours filled the air, and the flickering candlelight added a touch of enchantment to the setting. Sebastian pulled out a chair, gesturing for me to sit. “I thought we could enjoy a meal under the stars, Blaire. A fitting feast for our island retreat.” I eyed the array of dishes, a mix of curiosity and wariness in my gaze. “Are you trying to distract me with a lavish dinner, Sebastian?” He chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. “Consider it a gesture of goodwill. No ulterior motives, I promise.” As we sat across from each other, the tension from our earlier conversation lingered, woven into the fabric of the evening.

Sebastian’s gaze held a sincerity that transcended our banter. “Blaire, there’s something about this night about being here with you that makes me question the boundaries we’ve set.” I raised an eyebrow, wary yet curious. “Boundaries? You were the one who insisted on them, Sebastian.” He sighed, his demeanour shifting into a rare vulnerability. “I know, and I regret the choices that led us here. But perhaps this island offers us a chance to redefine what we mean to each other.” The air hung heavy with unspoken words as the evening unfolded. Despite my reservations, the sincerity in Sebastian’s eyes stirred a conflict within me. We haven’t talked about what happened to us in the past. He never mentioned it once since we met again. It makes me wonder what’s the real reason why he’s suddenly acting this way. And what happened with Catherine? My thoughts were cut short when I heard him speak again. Sebastian’s eyes held a mischievous glint as he leaned closer, his voice a velvet whisper. “Blaire, have you ever danced under the stars? This island is the perfect stage, and tonight is an invitation.” I scoffed, attempting nonchalance. “You’re not seriously suggesting a dance, Sebastian. This isn’t a romance novel.” He grinned, undeterred. “Why not? Let the island be our story, a tale written in moonlight and shared glances.” I rolled my eyes, dismissing his playful advances. “This isn’t a storybook, Sebastian. There are no grand gestures or stolen dances.” The night air grew thicker with tension as we continued our dinner, but Sebastian’s persistent charm began to wear down my defenses. His subtle touches and lingering gazes held a magnetic pull that became increasingly difficult to resist. 4/5
