Orphan Callistaa Nine months later
9 Months later....The cool breeze hit her face making her long black hair fly in every direction along with it. How she loved coming here early in the morning everyday just to relish the nature. Standing near the bank of the lake, Cali was looking at her own reflection. Just how much had she changed in these nine months. Her black hair was now longer reaching her waist. She was wearing a sap green midi dress which stopped just above her knees. Now she no longer used any lenses to hide those beautiful eyes of hers behind. Her father had assured her that she looked really beautiful and unique with them which resembled his. A smile was formed across her lips when she remembered her father, Callix Russells. He was her support now. When she decided that she was not ready to take over the company, he understood and did not press on it anymore. And when she told that she wanted to leave the country for a while to collect herself together again, her father supported her and arranged everythin

The Russells' private jet had just landed. She was back in the country. Feeling full of nerves, she could not help but tap her leg on the floor impatiently. What was she impatient for? She did not know herself. Maybe for this dreadful week to pass quickly so that she could get over with this and could go back to her seclusion again. But she knew it was not going to happen. Someday she had to take over their business and for that, she had to stay here. Her father must had noticed her anxiety, so he came up to her and held her in his arms, rubbing her back in a soothing way. "What happened, princess? You look pale. Is something bothering you?" He asked gently patting her head. She looked up at her father's soft eyes with her anxious ones. She shook her head at him slowly. "No, dad. It is just that...will I be handle all of this by my own?" She had her doubts but not on her ability to do business but on her heart which still could not seem to forget that one person whom she had ran fro

The blue metallic sedan screeched infront of the office building. A man came out from the car and rushed into the building with urgency, not even bothering to take his bag out of it. On his way to his office, his employees greeted him morning but he was not paying them any heed. Rude! That was what they called him. Before, he was sure arrogant but rude? In the last few months, he had not talked to anyone nicely. He had become a walking ticking time bomb which could explode at any time and on anyone. Mr. Cain Hutton had became a rude, arrogant jerk. To everyone. And the reason was...his wife. His wife had ran away from the past nine months. And he was going bonkers on everyone because he was unable to find her till now. But today was different because the private investigator whom he had hired to find the whereabouts of his wife, had called him this morning informing him that he had something new to tell him. So now, he was in a hurry to get to him who was waiting for him in his office.

Standing infront of the mirror in her room with two dresses in her hands, she contemplated on which one she should wear for the party tonight. But even after ten minutes of standing there just holding the dresses, she grew frustrated and flung the dresses onto her bed behind abd then sat there with her hands on her lap. She could not help but fiddle with her fingers anxiously. "Dad, who all are going to come to the party tonight?" She remembered asking her father in the morning. "All our business associates, stock holders, board members and employees are coming. After all they will see my daughter, their future boss, for the first time tonight." Her father had replied her chuckling, feeling proud. But she could just give him her best fake smile in return since she was not sure if Cain Hutton was coming or not. She knew that the CH Advertising and Design was also one of their business associates. So, she guessed he would be there. And for that, she was telling herself that it was alri

It was six o'clock in the evening now. Cali was in her room getting ready for the party that was about to commence in one hour. She was feeling more and more jittery as the time was coming nearer thinking that she would have to face her past tonight. Even Harold, who was her supposed present, was here now and would attend the party with her. When she came back to the mansion with Harold earlier, her father was not quite happy about him staying here for a week but Cali somehow convinced him saying that he was new here and did not even inform her before coming here. So, he allowed her to let him stay but he was given another room which was on the ground floor so that he would stay away from Cali, whose room was on the second floor, as much as possible. She sighed and tried to push all her thoughts to the back of her mind for now and continued with her make up. After debating for more than half an hour, she had decided to wear a wine red spaghetti strap gown. She was now applying primer
Last Updated : 2022-06-13Orphan Callistaa The day she left him
Climbing up the stairs, she tried her best to keep her calm just for a little more while and when she reached the last stair to the second floor, she leaned onto the railing holding it tightly in her grip and released a breathe of relief which she was unaware of herself. Bringing her right hand infront of her eyes, she just stared at it. Their handshake from just a moment ago came into her her mind. How much she had missed his touch in all those months! Her eyes became watery remembering those good times which could not become permanent for her. A strangled sob left her lips and she cradled her hand against her chest and she went further to go inside her room. Sitting infront of her dressing mirror, she looked into it to find Callistaa staring back at her and not Cali. She was not Cali Ruth anymore. "I can never have you in my life, Cain. You are not meant to be mine. And...(She sniffled) it hurts." She sobbed. She thought that she was over this. She was over him after secluding hers
Last Updated : 2022-06-14Orphan Callistaa That trouble-causing letter
Sitting inside her room while just scrolling through her phone, she got pretty bored so she decided to peek at the outside party a little bit to see if Cain was gone or not. She knew that he never liked such party before as well and would always leave after meeting and talking to some people. So, she was guessing that he must have left the party already. Getting out of her room, she started stalking down the stairs. She would not go all the way down just yet. She would first make sure that Cain was not present in the party anymore by staying on the staircase of the first floor and then she would join the rest. When she was at the foot of the staircase leading to the first floor, her eyes landed on the one and only man from whom she was hiding till now. Cain Hutton. What was he doing here? She saw him standing at the last stair leading to the first floor and then his gaze fell on her. Her eyes widened and as she turned around and was about to go back upstairs, she forgot that she was w

"I know what I have to do, mom. And I do not need you lecturing me every fucking time." He replied to his mother angrily. "Watch your language and tone when you talk to me, boy. I am your mother." His mother bit him back over the phone. He sighed. "I am sorry, mom. But you have trust in me, right? I will never disappoint you. And when I said that I will marry Callistaa Russells, I mean it. You do not have to worry." He explained his mother calmly and confidently. "Ofcourse my boy, I trust you that is why I have sent you to her and not your brother. You know, he is too soft for doing something like that." She said and he hummed in agreement. "But remember one thing, do not, and I mean, do not get involved with that girl in any romantic way. You know about Mr. Russells' past involvement with the mafia, don't you?" "Yeah, mom. I know." He knew actually who Mr. Russells was in the past. Though he had left the mafia since a long time, everyone was aware that no one could leave the mafia f

Orphan Callistaa Epilogue
The whole sky was filled with colors, blue, orange, and pink as Cali sat on a chair in her balcony with a mug of chocolate smoothie in her hands, watching the beautiful sunset. She smiled with her eyes closed, feeling the serene touch of slow wind. It had been three days since she came back to her country, and a whole week since that incident happened. It was still difficult for her to think about what Horace did to her. She thought of him as her best friend once. But looked like he was harbouring an unhealthy obsession for her all the while. If he loved her like he claimed he did, he would not have done all of that to her, kidnapping her and attempting to rape her. She was still in a trauma for days as she could not believe that that person who did all that to her, was Horace. That day, Cain and her father came to her rescue right on time. Horace was handed over to the police but before that he got beaten by Cain. He punched him until he became all bloodied with a broken nose and
Orphan Callistaa Her best friend betrayed her
"Mr. Russells, here is the current location of that ring. And it is stationery which means your daughter is in there or maybe she lost the ring somewhere there." Said Mr. Russo while them the computer screen. "Okay. Let's not waste any more time. We should go there and check first." Cain said quickly as he got up from his seat and dashed out of the penthouse. Mr. Russells thanked Mr. Russo and asked him to send the location and to keep an eye on any movement as he too dashed out. They both settled inside Cain's car and he started driving following the given location, all the while praying mentally for Cali to be there, safe and sound. * * * "Darling, wake up now. You have slept for so long and it is past lunch time already. Come on, wake up. See, I have brought you your favorite chocolate muffins and smoothie." A voice called out to her making her groan as she shuffled in the bed and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that man with dark beard infront of her, she squinted her eyes and
Orphan Callistaa Where could she be?
It was already twelve in the noon but there was no trace of Cali. Cain had called and informed Mr. Russells about everything. He got hell worried because she never did any such thing before, at least not without telling him. They tried her number again and again but it was now switched off. And right now Mr. Russells was on his way to come here. Cain himself was hell scared and worried for her as he called his private investigator to investigate this matter and was now pacing back and forth in her room while waiting for Mr. Pietro's call. Where could she be? Soon, he got a call from him but got disappointed when he told him that there was still no lead of her and it was more difficult because no one knew with whom she went out and there was no camera fitted in here. Cali always liked her privacy and that was why she did not let her father fit surveillance in her penthouse. Cain sat on the floor holding his head in his hands. After two more hours, Mr. Russells arrived there. His fac
Orphan Callistaa What am I going to do with you
The doorbell of the mansion rang. One of the maids opened the door which revealed Mr. Cain Hutton. However, his state was completely disheveled, with messy hair, damp cheeks and dull looking eyes. The maid let him in. When he went in, he spotted Mr. Russells sitting at the dining table sipping on a glass of water. Looked like he just finished his lunch as it was already two in the afternoon. Cain had not eaten anything since morning but he could not care any less about that right now. The maid informed Mr. Russells of the arrival of Mr. Hutton there. "Mr. Hutton, what brings you here?" He asked him in a cold tone as he came out to the hall. Cain just remained standing there with his head hung low. He was ashamed and afraid too. He was thinking Mr. Russells knew about his and Callistaa's relationship. "Please have a seat, Mr. Hutton." He said in the same emotionless voice. He nodded and sat down along with him. He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Russells, I don't know if you kno
Orphan Callistaa You don't have a son
"What the fuck!!" He groaned loudly when he read the news headline about his and Ivy's wedding. This deed must be done by his parents. They were trying to convince him to marry her since a long time now. That was why he stopped visiting or talking to them. But this was just too much to take in now. What were they thinking while doing this? What if Cali read this? Or had she already read it? Oh, no! He would lose her for good. No, he would not let this happen. He went into his car and drove off to his parents' mansion. He was going there after so long. And that too, not for a good reason. He sped up and soon he was in their driveway. "No, you listen to me Ivy! What do you mean by you will expose us? Huh? Don't tell me you don't want this. I know that you badly wanted to get married to my son. Then why all this drama now? Just zip it up and what you are told to do." He heard his mother's yelling while he stood there outside the door which was cracked open a tad bit. He frowned. Expos
Orphan Callistaa It's not Harold
"Yes, Harold. I am fine. I just called you to let you know that I am back here. And right now I am heading to my penthouse. Are you home?" Asked Cali. "What? But you did not even tell me that you were coming beforehand. I would have received you at the airport." Harold said from the other end. "No worries, Harold. And I am sorry that I could not tell you that I am coming. Well, it was just last night that I decided to come here and now here I am." She sighed after explaining to him. "Okay. Go home for now. I will be there with dinner and we will eat together." She smiled at that. "Thank you so much, Harold. You are so sweet." She said and he chuckled. "That I sure am." He replied cockily. She giggled. "Alright, see you." ....... "Home sweet home!" She sighed tiredly when she reached home. The house was clean and all because of the workers assigned there by her father. She went into her room and plopped on her bed. It was a hasty decision. She knew but she had to leave.
Orphan Callistaa A second chance to Cain Hutton?
"Dad, actually I need to talk to you." Said Cali while playing with her food on the plate. It was the next morning and they were now sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Mr. Russells stopped eating and looked at his daughter with a concerned look. "Wait, don't tell me you are pregnant already?" He blurted out making her choke on her saliva. "What? No, dad. I am not...pregnant. Why would you think like that?" She asked as she gulped some water from her glass. "You know, I just don't trust that boy, what is his name again, Harold?" She nodded. "Yes, Harold. I don't trust him around you at all. He seems like a playboy to me." He grumbled. Cali laughed at her father. "Oh, dad. I don't know what you are saying but that is not true though. He is a real gentleman." She said trying to convince him otherwise. He shook his head. "Sweetheart, tell me one thing. Do you love that boy?" Her face lost all the look of laughter at that question. "Uh...dad..." She stuttered but could
Orphan Callistaa Never allow her
Five days later.... Sitting inside her office cabin, Cali was trying to focus on her work but everytime her mind was drifting to the one and only man who was invading her dreams every night. Everyday in the office, she was anticipating his arrival. But he never came back once to see her after that day when she lied to him about being a gold digger five days ago. Five days, it had been five days since she had seen him. She even contacted his secretary two days back to remind him that they were to discuss the changes in that contract. She thought that he would come to the office even if just for the sake of that contract. But how wrong she was! He sent his secretary to her office instead and did not come there himself. She was getting vexed now. She wanted to use the boss card by demanding that his presence was needed here but refrained from doing so because if she did something like that, he would get the idea that he affected her which was true to some extent. She shook those though
Orphan Callistaa Is that what you want?
"Because you have proved that nine months ago. You chose to stay with her and have fun in your bedroom rather than being with me when I cooked lunch for you." Her voice broke and his eyes widened. "What?" He let out a mere whisper. She huffed and averted her eyes away from his as she felt them burn. He strode towards her and grabbed her jaw making her look directly in his eyes. "What do you mean by 'have fun in my bedroom'?" His jaw clenched with anger but his hold on her did not get hard so as to not hurt her. She tried to get out of his hold but in vain. Her tears started to leak out of her eyes. She was desperate to get away from him as she knew that she could not resist him for that long but she would not allow herself to fall for him again. "You know exactly what I mean. Now let go of me." She gritted out. But he did not faze. "You don't know what you saying. You don't know anything." He said darkly. "Oh! You mean to say that I am wrong in what I am saying?" She asked hi
