Lisa Warden (P.O.V.)
“Well, that is fine by me.”
We stumbled over the icy streets back to his place, barely speaking the whole time. Callum was really too drunk to drive so we left his car in the parking lot of the club. I felt bad for Emma, and now I was feeling bad for Callum that he came out tonight to celebrate with me and to de-stressing but now everything had come to an abrupt end, and it is just depressing.
We got back to his place and took off our coats. I felt a little awkward being here alone with him without Colette being present. Due to her absence, I automatically felt as though I was doing something wrong. I tried to shake it off, but I could not. We called her on the way over here because we both knew she would be awake, waiting for him to come home. When we told her we would not be coming home
Lisa Warden (P.O.V.)"What would Colette say or think? She would not approve of this." I explained.I knew from this moment; I should have just gotten up and left the apartment. I could go over to Kristen’s place instead and stay there. I did not have to absolutely stay here.“Why would you tell her? This could be our little secret.” Callum said and smirked.I could not believe it my ears. This was Callum, the sweetest, nicest guy I knew. He adored Colette. They had a healthy relationship full of honesty and openness and everything that I wanted. It was like I was talking to someone else. Someone I did not know. My heart began to beat even faster, but now it was a little bit out of fear. I felt even more uncomfortable now and unsafe. Callum was not in his right mind. I needed to get out of here."That you watched me undress. Do you not think she would find that a little weird?"I felt like there was no poin
Lisa Warden (P.O.V.)I raked my free hand through his hair, gently scratching his scalp. He let go of my other hand and pulled me up so that he could take my dress off. Then I pulled his shirt off over his head. I was pleased to find a nice shaven chest.I did not understand why so many guys sport a hairy chest. I liked a clean-shaven man. It always drove me crazy.He undid my bra as I laced my fingers through his gorgeous hair. Then he picked me up in his arms and carried me into his bedroom. In that brief moment, things had gone from animalistic groping to something more tender and emotional. He laid me down gently on his bed and started to trace his fingers lightly over my breasts and stomach. It was nice, and I felt safe with my friend again, but I wanted the roughness back."So, this is where you have been with Colette before, huh? This is kind of dirty. Definitely wrong," I said.That was enough to do the trick. The fire was
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)Colette Smith (P.O.V.)I do not know what this feeling was, but it was like a gut feeling. My anxiety had randomly increased out of nowhere and I felt like there was something happening that I should know about. Was it my intuition? It could be. Whenever I had this feeling, I would usually get some sort of bad news or discover something bad about Callum. Whether it was to be by snooping around and finding out he is talking to a girl that he has not told me about or simply putting two and two together and connecting the dots to a lie he told me months ago.I could not sleep. It was about one in the morning now and ever since Callum called me to let me know he was not coming home; I just could not bring myself to fall asleep. Maybe it is because I was excited for him to come home to me so that I could take care of his drunken soul and when he called to tell me he was not coming home I felt real
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)Immediately they responded with angered thoughts, and I smiled brightly. Now I get to see his true colors and I know exactly what to do when he gets back home.Oh my gosh! I cannot believe him. He told me he got rid of all of those pictures and videos. Thank you for letting me know. I am so angry at him right now. That is just so creepy.One of them said and I agreed. My former boyfriend did the same thing. He collected nudes from girls since he was of the age of twelve years old, and he justified it by saying that he kept them in the case that one of them leaked his nudes. It was so creepy. From the day I found out about his collection, I contacted his exes and told them about his collection, and I tried to delete their pictures. However, I never had any of his passwords so that was really hard to do. Especially considering the fact that he would never leave me alone with his phone in the same room
Callum Johnson (P.O.V.)I needed to get home as soon as possible. I felt so guilty about what I had done that I could not stand the thought of being away from Colette at the moment. The more time I stayed away from her now, the more I began to overthink the situation. Like, what if she knows or suspects something already between Lisa and me?I just wanted to get home and do some damage control.After I got done with washing my hair and my body, I wrapped a towel around my waist and made my way back into the bedroom. I stood in front of the mirror and inspected my body for any possible indications or signs that I had sex last night. I made sure to pay close attention to my neck for hickeys and my back for scratch marks that would appear due to Lisa’s apparent need to utilize her false nails on my back while in ecstasy.I approached the bed and looked at Lisa as she was sprawled across the bed, showcasing her naked body.
Lisa Warden (P.O.V.)Callum does not know who he is messing with, but I will show him. There is no point in him staying with Colette. I am the one he wants to be with. If he really wanted to be with her, he would not have risked his entire relationship to spend just one night with me and even he admitted it. He told me he loved me. He told me that he has wanted to be with me. Maybe he just does not know how to break it off for her. I am not going to be the one to break the news to her but maybe he needs persuasion…some encouragement if I may.As I made my way home from his apartment, I pondered on what I could possibly do as my next step in this situation. I wanted to make sure that Callum is happy and if that means breaking a few hearts then I guess I will have to do just that. Colette is going to get in the way of things and I could not let that happen but before I take drastic measures I will give Callum time to collect his thoughts and devis
Callum Johnson (P.O.V.)I do not know how long I stood there holding Lisa against the wall, but I had to let her go before Colette comes back from the bathroom. I wanted to kill her so badly, but I could not. Lisa wore this stupid smirk on her face that I wanted to wipe off immediately. She was really aggravating me, and I did not know what to do. She could end my relationship if she wanted to; all she had to do was open that big mouth of hers and spill the beans. Colette does not necessarily have to believe her, but all of the signs are there. All of the necessary things needed to make that moment to cheat on her were there because she set it up! Not to mention, I spent the entire night alone with another woman at my apartment. The other woman being Lisa f*cking Warden.“You need to leave,” I said to Lisa sternly.She smiled at me nauseatingly sweet.“Why do you want me to leave baby? I thought you would enjoy seeing me
Callum Johnson (P.O.V.)Time to play the sympathy card.“I am so sorry I hurt you, baby. I really did not mean to do that. If it makes you feel any better, Lisa could not have gotten out of there any quicker this morning because I made her sleep on the couch. She even vomited everywhere and when I woke up, I was forced to mop the entire apartment with bleach. It smells like a hospital in there right now.” I said to her.I even managed to slip a tear out of my eye and choke on my words every now and then, so I sounded like I was overwhelmed by emotions. At this Colette raised her head and looked at me with pitiful eyes. Colette slowly raised her hand to my cheek and wiped the weak tear that managed to escape my eyes.I smiled at her weakly and pulled her in for a hug.“I am sorry baby. I love you.”I said into her neck.“I am sorry too.”I pulled back and looked at
Before I could jump to conclusions, I decided to give Colette the benefit of a doubt. I returned to my car and while I sat in the parking lot of the hospital, I decided to call every hospital in the state.It has been three hours since I started calling multiple hospitals in New York. There are a total of two hundred and fourteen hospital in New York city. I managed to call forty of them within a short distance from Colette’s school, our home, and any other place she could have been in the time of going into labor.None of the hospitals had any record of Colette giving birth. What the actual hell is going on?Is she hiding something from me?I returned home as fast as I could. Colette was in the living room asleep with the television on.I quietly made my way upstairs and I took Kaylin from her crib. I wrapped her in a blanket and made my way out of the house. I then drove back to the hospital.I walked up to the receptionist with Kayl
Callum Johnson (P.O.V.)Currently I was seated outside on the front porch as I swung the baby to sleep. I looked down on her where she sat on my lap, slowly dozing off into dreamland. I looked at her features and how they changed over the past eight months, and it got me thinking. I would never accuse Colette of cheating on me, but in these circumstances, I was suspicious of a few things.Firstly, her hair color. It looks nothing like my hair, nor does it look like Colette’s hair. My hair as well as Colette’s hair, is curly and wavy, Kaylin’s hair is pin straight. My eyes were brown, and Colette’s eyes were like a hazel brown color…Kaylin’s eyes were so blue you could see the ocean in them. It was so blue it almost looked purple at times. Neither Colette nor I has freckles, yet Kaylin has freckles all over her body.I am beginning to think this is not my kid and I did not know how to go about this. I could ta
Callum Johnson (P.O.V.)I made the baby.Those words. That moment. That instant. That day would always resonate in my head. It has been eight months since the birth of my daughter Kaylin Johnson and not a day passes by that I do not think about that day Colette messaged me. I remember that day like it was yesterday.I was in the United Kingdom, London to be specific on a business trip. This trip was not particularly a fun one that would have allowed me to relax and take a break from my busy work schedule. I had just come out of a really tough meeting. Things were not looking good for me at the last minute. Throughout this trip I have been cutting deals really close as I began to teach myself along the way to do business the right way seeing as I no longer had sex appeal on my side. There were times where some of the women that would be present at meetings would make minor advances toward me. I could adhere to their advances, but I chose
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)Meanwhile I prepare for the demise of Maria Vergara, Callum has been messaging me nonstop in full panic mode. Last night, when I decided that I would perform the surgery today, I figured that I would ignore all of Callum’s messages and phone calls to make it seem as though I could not be reached. This is to make it believable when I tell him that I went into labor and was unable to contact him because of everything that happened while I was in labor.Eventually I got to the store and while I walked around checking out the various equipment, I regretted my modest decision to not walk into the store dressed as a doctor in a lab coat. I felt judged. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me…or was it my fear of getting caught; the nagging feeling that someone knew something I did not stayed in the back of my mind while I t
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)I spent the entire night doing research on performing a cesarean section. Since I got home, I have been studying the medical notes made by other people so that I, myself, would be able to perform this procedure with much success. I would like to think that I could handle this on my own because I am a pre-medical student. This could serve as a test to my future surgical tendencies as a neurosurgeon and I could not have been any more excited. Of course, in the future, I could only hope that my patient would be alive after the operation because my intent now, is that she dies and remains dead. I wanted to order some sort of anesthesia while I prepared myself for the surgery because I felt like I could at least be a little humane and numb the pain for the woman, but I do not think it would get here in time because I have limited time.While I stayed awake last night, studying the instructions to perform a cesarean section on a human
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)Eventually, I had to move away in fear of getting called out for my lack of a baby bump. Callum was always at work these days and I usually had to drive myself to school every day but at the end of it all, I would be seeing Callum. However, it has been approximately nine months since I announced the pregnancy, and it is about time I showed up with a bump. Fortunately for me, I told Callum that I thought it would be best for me to stay on campus instead of driving back and forth each day to and from school. I explained to him that this way, I could sleep in more and I would not have to worry about being late to my classes so I would be lessening on the stress I would feel each day.This especially played in my favor because I attended a religious community college which did not allow boys into the female dorms. The onl
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)I got a notification on Facebook that I had received a new friend request. I immediately clicked on the notification to check out the person’s profile. It was not odd for me to get friend requests on Facebook out of the blue these days. After announcing my fake pregnancy to Callum, he had been working double time to make sure that I get everything that I wanted and needed just so we would be able to avoid a replay of what happened the first time I got pregnant. This included leaving the job I had, working as Callum’s secretary, and taking my time with school. Where I would usually do a full load every semester, now I do only about three courses per semester. Yes, that means it will take longer for me to graduate but at least I barely have assignments now and I have more time to sleep. My days have been stress free and I am more than grateful for that blessing.I was not even scared or paranoid about leaving Callum to
Colette Smith (P.O.V.)It has been a couple months since I miscarried, and I could not have been more depressed. I was not entirely sure how long it has been because I have been so out of it that I could not focus on anything. I could not help but feel like the miscarriage was my fault. There is not a day that goes by that I do not hate myself a little bit more for losing the baby. Deep down inside, I feel like Callum blames me as well, but I do not think he would be wrong to. I had been undergoing so much stress that I knew was not good for the baby, yet I continued on with my own selfish journey of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Looking back now to all of those times I took advantage of the fact that I got pregnant in the first place, makes this all the more painful because I could have done so many things differently to avoid this, but I did
The pain continued to be unbearable, and I tried my hardest to not scream in agony, but it seemed quite difficult to do so. After a short while, the nurse returned with the painkiller injections, and she turned me onto my side so that she could stick the needle into my butt cheek. Thankfully, it did not hurt at all. Almost immediately I felt the medication dull the pain I felt on my lower back and my lower abdomen. With this relief, I soon fell asleep.I was awoken by a team of doctors who were all surrounding my bed. One of them held a clip board with a bunch of papers stacked onto it and the rest of them were preparing some tools, I would assume to use on me.One of them approached me and stuck a thermometer under my arm.“Keep that in there tightly, okay?” The woman said kindly.I nodded in acknowledgement and did as I was told.“Okay, are you getting any pain right now?” One of the doctors asked.I nodded again.
