WINTER:As I waited for Samson to answer me, the other part of my mind refused to believe that Samson was that kind of man. We only just played during Family Day, so why did he betray me? Did he buy it for the press? How much did he pay for it?The last thing I remember, is Cali said Samson was the most loyal man he ever met…I guessed my ex-husband was wrong this time. “Samson?”Recognition hit his eyes. “You! Miss Winter? Is that you?”I put both of my hands on my hips. The servants kept on restraining him. “Yes, me. What’s the problem?”“You are Mr. Calcifer’s wife! I'm glad I found you!”My cheeks flamed. “I am not his wife. I am his ex-wife.” I cleared my throat when I remembered what we were talking about. “Let's go back to know what we are talking about.”“Oh. That must be the reason,” he retorted, not really answering what I said. “The reason for what?”Samson cried in pain when the maids pushed him to the ground. “Miss Winter, this man was trying to make you lower your gr
WINTER:“And this one, Miss Winter.” Samson scrolled another picture of his gallery. It was another picture of Cali, inside his shower room, fully clothed, but his body all wet. His clothes were all on, but I couldn't help but dream while running my hands all over him. He was sexy and hot, and I just wanted to lick him all over like what I did to him…the night I finally gave my body to him. He looked like an ice cream in a cone waiting to be licked. I sighed softly. I wanted to keep him for myself.Shame on you, Winter. Just a simple picture and you’re now ogling at your ex-husband? What the heck was wrong with you?Shame flooded my whole body.What the heck was I thinking? I mentally slapped myself. Then, I made my expression serious. “What will I do with the pics? Don't you think I believe your words? Coming over here. Jumping over the wall just to give me these pictures? I don't believe it. Cali and I were talking earlier.” He should have given me these earlier. But why now?
WINTER:This was not the first time that Hawk offered me to kill someone in my stead. And each time he did that, it always brought shivers running down my spine. It was scary how this man loved. If no one would stop him from his killing spree, then who would? I inhaled deeply. There was so much more to life than killing someone because something got out of hand. “Don’t put blood on your hands for my sake. It’s not worth it. Killing someone is not worth it regardless of your reasons, Hawk. Don't do it for me. Don't do it for someone else.”“It is worth it, Miss Winter. You are always worth it. I am willing to be killed and get killed for you.” He watched his hands and fear gripped in his eyes as if he remembered the sin he did a couple of years ago. The sin that he was trying to forget was now coming back to him. “I…already killed someone.” It was not bragging on his part. It was more like recalling a nightmare. His body shivered at the memory. I engulfed him with a hug. He stiff
WINTER: If I was surprised to see Nathalia, Hawk was too. Then, it changed into something else. Something more like fear? His breathing labored as if he had seen a ghost with whom he was running away. He looked everywhere. Then his eyes landed on me. He stared at me as if he was asking for some help. My gaze landed on the groceries on the floor. He dropped them when Nathalia ran to him."Mommy, what are they doing?" Liam asked when his eyes were glued to the two's hugging form. I cleared my throat and had the urge to close Liam's eyes using mine, but realized Nathalia was not doing anything wrong with my bodyguard. Her only issue was clinging to him like a gecko. Desperately as if she did not want to let go of Hawk. "Ahm...they are hugging?"Hearing my statement, Hawk released Nathalia as if he were burned. His eyes were back to me as if he did not know how he would explain this. Nathalia pouted, then straightened herself. "You are hurting my feelings, Hawk. This is not how I am
HAWK:Miss Winter was disappointed in me. How will I face her after this? I made my intention pretty clear that I loved her. And now she will hear that I had sex with Nathalia Wright? Her ex-husband's secretary?“Miss Winter…please?”She looked away. My shoulders dropped. She would think I was playing with her feelings. She would think I was a liar on top of that. All because of Nathalia Wright. Why did she have to come with perfect timing? Miss Winter left me and the woman, without giving me the chance to explain. Just as I was about to follow her, Nathalia blocked my way with a grin on her face. Dammit. Why did it happen like this? I had no plans of telling Miss Winter of what happened that night. I was about to bury it in my grave. The very reason why I told her I would visit my family was so that Nathalia wouldn't be able to locate me.Everything was according to plan until she arrived. I nearly succeeded in evading her. "I was glad I came to visit this house. If not, I wil
WINTER: The more this woman shoved herself into me, the more I disliked her. She was desperate and lacked dignity."You don't know what you are saying," I said and flicked her forehead, but not that strong. It was enough to awaken her from her delusions. Or that was what I was hoping. The sooner I got rid of her, the better. “Ouch! What was that for?”“Something that would awaken you.”Touching her forehead, she inquired, “From what?”“From your dream.”She stomped her foot. "I know what I am saying!" she declared. "I only wanted you and that's final. No one can change my mind and no one is allowed to."Stubborn woman. Miss Winter was not this stubborn. She was easy to work with, one of the many reasons why I fell for her. Miss Winter was incomparable to the rest of the women. I stepped back, a few meters away, and lit my cigarette.Inhaling the smoke deeply, I eyed her.That woman was beautiful. I did not understand why she would waste her time on me. There would be far more han
WINTER:As I was about to go to bed, the servant knocked on my door, and I was informed by the servant that Calcifer was there. Frowning, I stared at the clock on the wall. And it was like what? Ten o’clock in the evening.Why was he here?This was the first time he had visited after almost three weeks of not seeing each other. I glanced at the other side of the bed. Liam was already fast asleep as well as Dad. When I retired to my room, I already felt like a dried vegetable. There had been a lot of happenings in the house. I did not know where I managed to get the energy in my day-to-day life. Maybe it had something to do with my son. If not for Liam, I had already given up by now. I was about to sleep now. “Why do men always give me problems?” I mumbled to myself. After Nathalia's visit, Hawk and I had not been able to talk about it. The man seemed to be avoiding me at all costs. I had no idea what the two had conversed about. All I was hoping was that they had come to an agree
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
