My Ex-Husband's Temptation 101: Home
WINTER: Yes! You could kiss me whenever you want! my mind screamed. You can stop until we are both breathless. My body yearned for him. And it had been a long time since I last tasted a man since I had run my hands to his hard chest. The last time was when I had given myself to my ex-husband. Four years had passed, yet the memories felt like it had happened yesterday. I held my breath when he leaned in, our faces merely a couple of centimeters from each other. His hands suddenly went to my waist and pulled me towards his body. A gasp escaped from my lips as my heart continued to hammer against my ribcage. “Please don't hate me after this, Pumpkin,” he muttered and dunked his lips against mine. Hate him? Why would I hate him? I loved his kisses. Cali's mouth was soft and plump. I could taste the alcohol on his lips. His kisses were feathery as if he was hesitating to kiss me. To hurt me by kissing me. Why would he? This was what I wanted. This was what I had been dream
Last Updated : 2024-06-11My Ex-Husband's Temptation 102: Sleepover
WINTER:It had been a few hours since Cali had slept on my shoulders. My shoulders were already sore from being in the same position, but I didn't want to move. If I did, he would awaken. I wanted to stay like this even for a moment. I wanted to stare at his face for as long as I could since I could no longer go back to this moment.This felt like we were married before. The only difference was that it was I who would sleep on his shoulder while we stared at the twinkling stars in the sky. But of course, it would only happen when he would come home early. “Pumpkin…” he mumbled to himself. “Please…don't leave me,” he whispered. My heart clenched. Dammit. “I won't leave you, Cali. I promise,” I whispered even if he could not hear me or remember it. He would usually talk to his sleep even before we got married and it was cute to listen. Sometimes, I would ask questions and then he would answer on point. But when I asked him about it the next day, he had no memories of it. I bit m

WINTERI mentally shook my head at the train of my thoughts. What the heck was wrong with me? Just because he was only wearing boxer shorts meant he was seducing me. What if he was only feeling hot? The room temperature may not be too cold for him, thus the need to wear that kind of clothing.Calcifer never wore anything like that when you were married before. It was always pajamas. Never a boxer shorts.Nevertheless, this was the first time that he was drunk and the alcohol might still be in his system. “Do you really have to wear nothing except your boxer shorts, Cali?”He beamed. “Why? Are you scared that I might do something, Pumpkin?”Nonsense.What I was concerned about was how I would behave if he was like that.I was already feeling very hot and he was not helping me at all. He looked so appetizing. Delectable. Yummy looking. Dang.“Why would I get scared?” I retorted and crawled towards the bed. “You’re not that scary, Cali.” Don't look at the lower part of his body. Re

WINTER:One thing I noticed about that these past few days? He would always talk about death as if the topic did not make us sad. Was this a premonition that he was going to leave us soon?When I could not fathom to talk for a moment, it was Cali who broke the silence. “You will still have a lot of days ahead of you.”I was glad he was here. If not, this table would be full of crying. “My days are numbered,” he responded. “Why can't you all accept that? I am also tired of dealing with this pain.”I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from crying and it seemed that Cali had sensed my mood that he was being talkative to Dad. Can't Dad see that I was also in pain seeing him like this? He was not the only one who was hurting. We were too. It was also a blessing in disguise that Liam was still innocent enough to understand everything that was happening now. “We are not ready to let you go,” I mumbled. A lump formed in my throat. “Every day, I am hoping for a miracle, Dad. And

WINTER:Hawk looked around and landed his gaze at me. Something crossed in his eyes and disappeared before I could decipher what it was. Realizing that Cali and I were touching as if burned, I put distance between me and Cali. “H-Hawk. Y-You’re here. Have you eaten already?”“Miss Winter,” he greeted. “I'm still full.”“What have you eaten?”“I drank some coffee. I'm full.”“But…”“I'm sure Hawk knows how to feed himself, Pumpkin. No need to worry about him. He is old enough to eat for himself.”I whipped my head in Cali's direction and gave him a stern look. “Hawk does not come here to pick a fight.”My ex-husband folded his hands in front of his chest. “I am not picking a fight with him. I'm only giving my suggestion, Pumpkin.”I heaved a sigh. I hope they will stop whatever they are doing right now because it's getting tiresome. Closing the distance between Hawk and me, I asked, “Why are you here, Hwk? Did Dad order something?”He gave me a stiff nod. “Miss Winter, I came here

WINTER:“What are you planning to do, Calcifer?”My ex-husband laughed out loud that tears came out of his eyes.What was so funny?When he was able to control himself, he murmured, “You always think that I am planning something, Pumpkin.”I narrowed my eyes and folded my arms in front of my chest. “Isn't that the case?”“I won't do anything unless you allow me, Pumpkin if that's what you are concerned about. You will be safe when you return home unless you're the one who will be touching me, which I don't have any problem at all.” He wiggled his eyebrows playfully, teasing me. “Over my dead body,” I exclaimed. Don't you feel excited, Winter? Imagine spending the night with Calcifer and doing things that you missed since you got married. Four years of being untouched by a man makes your body crave something carnal, isn't it?Dang it.I hated how the other part of my mind was correct. Excitement was already bubbling inside me.The kisses were enough to awaken my body. How much more i
Last Updated : 2024-06-15My Ex-Husband's Temptation 107: River
WINTER:Cali let go of my hand and returned his gaze to the river. Across the sky, lightning flashed, signaling the incoming storm. At this time of the day, more people would visit the river to have their picnics laying their blanket on the ground and have their date, but it seemed that the incoming rain had stopped them from doing so. However, some were brave enough to go with the flow, making the rain their alley. "I would be heartbroken of course, Pumpkin. I cannot afford to lose you for the second time, especially if it will be my fault again.""Why would it be your fault?""It would be my fault because if I failed in winning you back, it meant I did not do my best in having you back. It meant I did not exert all my efforts in winning you back. I was complacent. That would be the biggest mistake that I would make in my entire life."I bit the inside of my cheeks. "I saw your efforts, Cali. There were changes in your behavior which I was grateful for." But still...another part o

WINTER:“All I am saying is that your gratitude to him was already too much,” Cali insisted. “For me, it's not normal, Pumpkin. Isn't giving him a salary enough?”My nostrils flared.I will just think that he said those words out of worry for me. That he did not want anyone to abuse my kindness. “No. His salary is not enough.”“Pumpkin…I'm only trying to explain it to you.”I gritted my teeth. “How dare you say it was not normal,” I growled. “You just don't know how grateful I am for all the things Hawk did for me and the family. You were not there during those times, Calcifer. That's why it was easy for you to say that I should not be grateful to him. Here's the thing. Even if I told him a couple of times my gratitude, I could still not repay my bodyguard.”He stared at me for a long time and then heaved a sigh in resignation. “You will keep on defending him.”“Of course, I would. If not, who will? Our bond is stronger than the wind.” Cali did not know what kind of man Hawk was. A

My Ex-Husband's Temptation 150: END
WINTER: One week later… Just like what I wanted, it was a small wedding only, attended by some important people. The wedding only happened in the mansion, something Calcifer did not approve of, but agreed to in the end. Did he have a choice? He did not. In the end, he had no choice but to give in. My wedding dress was nothing fancy. It was a simple one which I bought at the mall. Cali wanted to hire someone to make the dress for me, but I declined. I didn't want anything extravagant. It was better to donate the money to some charities. After all, what was more important was the marriage. Our marriage life after the wedding. We only invited the pastor to come into the mansion. The press found out about our wedding. It was all over the news, but I told Cali not to give any statement about it. I will do it when I want. Despite the venue, Cali was still able to ask the wedding planner to transform the hall into something beautiful, with a lot of flowers on each side. The servan
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 139: Hawk
HAWK: The door burst open and saw Miss Nathalia’s angry look. I stopped drinking and looked at the newcomer. The alcohol did not even make me drunk. I need more. “Miss Nathalia. Cheers.” I offered a bottle of beer, but her expression told me she was not a bit happy. “Is this all your plans, right now, sulking in the corner? Smoke. Drink?” Nathalia asked. She put her hands on both of her lips as she looked at me with disappointment. Almost a week of staying in this apartment which she had helped me get. In the meantime. I was supposed to start working on her, to be her bodyguard, but I did not have the strength to work at the moment.It still hurts.Miss Winter was my ultimate love and there was no other woman beside her.The alcohol made me numb the pain, but when I got sober, it was back again. When will this end? "I am only giving you this week to fix yourself. If you will not, I will kick your butt and let someone drag you to my condo and stay there."She had been pestering
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 138: Proposal
WINTER: The crowd was expecting my answer while all I could do was stare at Cali kneeling down, holding an opened box where the ring was waiting for me. “I know this is not the kind of proposal that you’re expecting. This is simple, but I thought that you also did not like anything fancy. This is not like what you see on social media platforms, but there is one thing that I wanted to assure you. My feelings are real. My promises will remain the same. It's the feelings that matter, right?”Cali was expecting my answer, and the more I was silent, the more he grew nervous. My eyes went to Dad. He was already wiping the tears from his eyes while Nathalia was silently cheering for his brother. The servants seemed like they could no longer breathe because of the fast beating of their hearts. “Cali…I…” I bit the inside of my cheeks. Was I ready now? “May I talk to you for a moment?”His mouth fell but was able to get hold of his emotions. Clearing his throat, he said, “Yes, Pumpkin. Wh
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 137: Pumpkin, Will You...
WINTER: ONE MONTH LATER...“Mommy? Why is Uncle Hawk leaving us?” Liam asked, watching Hawk bringing his bag outside. Not only Liam and I were sending him, but Calcifer was also with us and the rest of the maids. None of us wanted him to go. “He is just visiting his parents, Liam. He does not know when he will be back, that's why he resigned.”He looked at me with pure innocence. “Daddy? I don't understand why he needs to leave us while he visits his parents,” Liam continued. Cali patted Liam. “You will understand when you become an adult.”He pouted. “I don't want to become an adult, Daddy. I want to be your baby forever.”“You will be our baby forever.”A month had passed since I accepted Cali's love. A month of always showing me how much I meant to him and our son. He never failed to show us how much he loved us, by cooking and traveling abroad. Above all, Liam was the happiest. He constantly brags to his classmates that his Daddy is already with us and he constantly wants Ca
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 136: Dream
WINTER:I rubbed my hands together as I waited for Hawk. Craning my neck, I stared at the gate, waiting for a car to enter— the car I let Hawk lend.My heart continued to hammer against my ribcage. Damn it. Why was he making me this worried? Was he punishing me? It was already six o’clock and he was not here yet. I wonder what happened to him. He was not this late. He also never was the type who never texted me where he was right now.I bit my fingernails while pacing back and forth on our porch.That man. I will give him a scolding for making me worry this much. This was so unlike him. Did he want me to die because of worrying?Cut him some slack, Winter. That man is hurting after you told him the truth. Do you think it is easy for him?But he went out to have some check right? It was nothing to do with me and Cali?I stopped and checked my phone again for the nth time. Still, no messages coming from him. Damn it. What seemed to be wrong?What if I call his number? Why haven't I
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 135: Room 703
HAWK:Nathalia was pretty easy to talk with.The moment I asked for her pin code, she gave it to me without hesitation. Was she always like this to other men? [Don’t be shy to order something online, Sweetie.][Are you there, yet? Your silence is making me nervous.][Hawk! You have to answer me, or I will call the police and declare you missing.]I shook my head while reading the last message.Answer her. She does not joke when it comes to you. Again, left with no choice, I texted some replies and hit the word send.[Yes? Yes? Is that the only thing you could answer me, Sweetie? I’m putting all my efforts into giving you a reply and you’re going to answer short ones? You are seriously hurting my feelings.]I pocketed my phone after telling her that I was going to enter her condo.She was not the one who I was expecting to text. It was Miss Winter. But I did not receive anything from her.I stopped at Room 703 after double-checking it. This was the room Nathalia had given me.I was a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 134: Hawk
HAWK:I stared at the ceiling like a fool. Now what? Where would you go now? Why did you lie to Miss Winter saying you’re sick? Now, you’re forced to go out and spend the rest of your day there. Now, you’re forced to go out and spend the rest of your day outside while your guilt is eating you away. You never lied to Miss Winter like this. I smiled bitterly. Could I be blamed? When I heard Liam and that bastard’s laughter, I gave in to the temptation and I went to the pool and saw them myself. The bonding of the real father and Dad. Something which I will never be able to achieve. My chest felt like it was being wrung. I held my breath as the pain became too much seeing how they looked good together. The three of them. Liam was happy. Miss Winter was happy with the bastard’s presence in the mansion. When he failed to sleep in this room, something might happen between them.I closed my eyes tightly as images of them being together entered my mind. Something already happened betwee
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 133: Swimming Pool (Part 2)
WINTER:Hawk's silence was not helping at all. “Hawk? I'm waiting.”"May I use this day as my day off? That's the reason why I approached you.”“Day off? Where would you go? You did not usually use your day off, right?”“I'm not feeling well right now. It started last night."Worry flashed over me and touched his forehead. “You don't have any fever at all.” But sometimes, you felt hot inside your body but on the surface, it was not hot. "Do you want me to call our family doctor to check on you?""No, Miss Winter. I already called someone. A friend of mine. I will visit his clinic so that he will know the diagnosis."“Don't you think it's better to stop smoking? It's not good for you.”“I will think about it, Miss Winter. It's not easy to quit.”“If there's a way, there is a will. Do you have a friend who is also a doctor? No offense, Hawk. But I don't see you hanging out with anyone.""I met him on social media.""Oh, I see. Is that person to be trusted? Hawk. Please be careful. Ther
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 132: Swimming Pool
WINTER: I was dreaming. You know the feeling that you were aware that you were inside your dream? That's what I'm feeling right now despite facing Cali in a fine dining restaurant. He wore a suit while I was wearing a red dress. He looked so handsome.“Why are we here?” I asked. “You don't remember, Pumpkin?”“What?”“We are celebrating because we are having our second child. So don't drink any alcoholic drinks from now on.My eyes bulged. “I'm with a child?”He chuckled and grabbed the wine glass from my hand. “This is supposed to be mine.” He emptied the contents. “We're going to have a baby?” I asked.“We are. I'm so happy, Pumpkin.”I looked down and saw that there was indeed a baby bump. Tears simmered down my eyes when I felt the kick of my baby inside. “We are going to have a baby?” I whispered while caressing the bulge on my stomach. “Thank you for approving to have another baby,” he whispered and kissed my hand. “Calcifer!” a woman's voice suddenly shouted. We all lo
