Romancing the Devil CHAPTER 17
“Stay away from your wife?” I looked at Dustin when he said that.“Dustin . . .” I called softly, which is why Callum's grip on my hand tightened even more.“First of all, I can’t do that, Callum. I’m her best friend. I'm already in her life, we're still in college. She was with me before you came into his life. You are her husband, yes, but you can’t just order someone around her circle to just stay away from her like that. Do you want her to live alone and just be with you all the damn time?” Dustin said as he glared at my wife.“No. But if it’s you who she’s with, I’d rather want her alone than be with you all the fucking time.” I bit my lower lip as I looked at Callum with serious eyes and as if he was going to hurt Dustin in front of me at any moment. If only I didn't get between them.“You’re afraid I’d steal her away from you.“ Dustin stated not minding Callum’s anger now.Callum advanced when Dustin did not flinch of what he said, instead he chuckled without humor. I immediate

When I entered the house, the office was quiet, there were no maids cleaning there so I frowned. Where are they? I walked further in until I heard someone talking in the dining area.“This is a fucking risk, my dear brother! What the hell are you fucking doing right now? I thought you’re just going to fool them around and then revenge afterwards?” I heard a man’s voice. His furious voice made me frown.Who’s that man talking? And who is he talking about? Revenge? For what? For whom?I know it’s rude to eavesdrop but I can’t help but to hear them talking. No one’s there, but them, not even the house mades. Where are they, by the way? I can’t hear them doing anything in the kitchen. If they’re around, I should at least heard some noice.“It’s been a month, Callum! If you don't act fast now, I will act to retaliate against those animals!" The guy said, screaming in frustration, which startled me.“Could you please calm down, Calvin.” Callum’s baritone voice filled the room. The guy didn’t

The next thing I knew, we were kissing torridly— hungry at each other’s lips while his hands were roaming around my body. He skillfully remove my nighties and now, I’m all naked in front of him.I moaned when he touched my chest and gently massaged it. A long moan escaped my mouth as he squeezed my nipple. I almost fainted even more when his kiss went down to my chest. He quickly put the top of my breast in his hot mouth and sucked it.“Ohh . . .” I arched my body when pinched my nipple using his two fingers and the other one were being sucked by his hot and lustful mouth. I bit my lower lip to suppress a long moan.He licked my nipple up to my collarbone. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt his other hand cupped my now throbbing femininity. My breathing hitched when he played with it.“Fuck, my wife. You’re so fucking hot.” he whispered over my ear and licked my earlobe that gives me more heat inside my body.“C-Callum . . .” I moan his name, almost begging him to not stop playing wit

The next day I didn’t go to work to pack Callum’s clothes even though she didn’t want to move me, she didn’t do anything.“Baby, it’s just three days, you’re packing too much clothes.” He stopped me when he saw that I was putting a lot in his suitcase.“You need it so that when you sweat, you can get dressed. When you have to meet with your clients. Or when you’re just at the hotel or going to sleep. So I should pack enough clothes for you. Even if you’re only there for three days.”I was like his mother packing her son to join the boyscout camping. I even packed six different suits for him! The shoes were also placed in a container, there were only three and slippers that he needed for sure.“I really want you to be with me there,” he said stopping me from what I am doing.I looked at him and frowned.“I’m sorry, I still have works here. Besides, you won’t go there for vacation. You will work there so I understand.” I smiled at him before standing and walk towards him.He stared at m

“What do you mean, Hailey?” he asked in confusion.I shook my head, “I’m just curious. I don’t . . . really know everything about him. I have feeling for him since then but I didn’t had the chance to know who he really is. And now, I’m just curious about him.” I looked away and frowned.“I really don’t know much about him. All I know is that before he could graduate from college, their parents died, I don’t really know what happened. He was devastated that he didn’t go to their graduation march. He’s friends with my twin, Justin. I’m not asking about him because I’m not interested either.” His jaw tightened and I just nodded.I feel like he’s hiding something that I don’t know.“As you can see, we’re not in a good term so you can’t get any information from me about him.”I nodded. Don’t know what to say.“I want to ask him, but . . . I’m afraid.” That he might lash out on me if I ask him questions.“Afraid of what?” he asked in a low tone.I smiled and shook my head, “nothing. Don’t mi

That evening we spend a night under the brightness of the moon that illuminated the whole garden. It feels so surreal. This is the first time I feel so lighted with a man who made me a woman, a wife, and who really am I.Even after the heartache I felt from my parents, and sometimes with his words, I still feel so safe and comfortable in his arms.The next day I woke up feeling good. Callum and I left the house together and he drove me to the company.“Good morning, ma’am!” Christina greeted me when I got out of the elevator.I smiled, “good morning, Chris.”I entered the office followed by Chris who immediately reminded me of what I had to do today. I was so busy with what I was doing, even with my meetings that day that I forgot to eat lunch. If Christina hadn’t reminded me about lunch I wouldn’t have remembered not eating.“Ma’am, it’s already one o’clock and you haven’t eaten yet.” Christina said when she entered my office and brought food from the cafeteria.I stopped doing my sk

I’ve been in a deep thoughts as I work in the company today. I’m often stunned that day. I don’t know where or who I’m worried about. What should I do?But thinking so critically made my head hurt a little. Thinking about it made me crazy. This is annoying! I don’t even know what to do or how to talk to Daddy. Now that Callum agreed with the merging, Daddy will have the access to get in Callum’s company and it makes me worry.I really should be worried.“Ma’am,” I turned to the door when I heard Chris’s voice.“Yes?”“Uh. . . Sir Callum is calling. He said you’re not answering his calls.” she said with a bit hesitation.“Oh, I’m sorry. I– I’m just preoccupied. Thank you, Chris.”She nodded before leaving my office. I took a deep breath before taking out my cellphone to check it. True enough, Callum’s calling me. And he has been calling me for since 2pm, and it’s almost 3pm! He has thirty missed calls that frowned me.After a while, my cell phone rang for his call again. I quickly answ

WARNING: GRAPHIC SEX SCENE ALERT! FOR 18 YEARS OLD AND ABOVE ONLY. SKIP THE PART OR READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.My senses got awake when I felt a gentle hand softly caressing my face. I winced. I felt someone’s eyes watching me, sitting beside me. I am at the guestroom, right?Feeling nervous, I opened my eyes. Because it was dark, my eyes adjusted to the darkness around me. And when my vision adjusted, I saw who’s caressing my face softly and looking at me with gentleness.Callum . . .If you look at him, you would not think that he is a cruel person. You would look at him in awe as if not knowing how cruel he is in everything — to anyone. Even towards me. You wouldn’t have thought about his real attitude and motive. I adore how good he is in hiding his real emotions. He’s a pro.“Callum . . . why are you here?” I asked in a hoarse voice.I slightly moved away from him and sat on the bed so that I could see him better because his hand was removed from my face. His hand slid down my chest

I stilled for a moment and slowly turned my head to see if I was right. And yes, I am. Meters away from us is Mrs. Juliet. She’s standing there while looking intently at me, then her gaze drops to my daughter who's prettily eating her ice cream, unaware of what is happening now.“M-Mrs. Juliet,” I slowly stood up and looked at her.“I'm sorry if I called you Avery. Because I got used to Callum during the four years that Avery was always mentioned." My heart leapt for a moment when she said that. "There is not a day that you are not mentioned in the mansion. And... this year he left the mansion because... he said he misses you and only remembers you there in the mansion. Buy a new condo to stay there.” She's spitting it, not minding what I am thinking right now. Or what Callum and I's situation is.“Uh . . .” I don’t know what to say! Fuck it!"How are you? After you left the mansion… everything went back to normal, eh. Sorry if I’m talking too much now. I just really missed you," he a

CHAPTER 33The past days were so hard for me. Hestia asked me more and more questions about her daddy. I don't have anything else to answer, so I better change the conversation between the two of us. It's a good thing that Callum didn't attend the meeting on my first day at the company because he had an urgent meeting somewhere. Hestia is also staying at the mansion even though I feel that she is not yet comfortable with her new babysitter.After a week, Hestia got used to her new life here in the Philippines. She is getting used to the climate and her new babysitter. She adopted the place very well and so fast. So I didn't have any trouble with her.“Ma’am, you have a meeting with the board members with in 10 minutes.” My secretary said from the doorway of my office.“Alright,” I answered before straightening myself up because I was done with what I was doing.Meeting with the board members, and Callum will be one of them. I closed my eyes and immediately put whatever was bothering m

“Hestia Clariz!” I shout to call my daughter, who is hopping and running inside the airport. She’s very energetic, and I don’t have any idea where her energy is coming from since we’re both tired. I’m getting exhausted from taking care of her every day because of her energy, but I don’t want to give up on her because she’s my daughter. There’s no other person who will take care of her but me, because I am her mother.“Mommy! Mommy!” She chanted as she run towards my direction.When she came to a stop in front of me, she was already sweating profusely. I took a towel from her bag and wiped her sweat on her face, neck, and forehead. She was running inside the big space in the airport, and she's sweating so much when she runs towards me. She's still energetic, but you can still see how tired she is through her eyes.“I saw people, Mommy. Cutie unifolm.” It sucks hearing her saying a word with “R” in it. She still stutters in that letter so sometimes I laugh at her words.She really is g

“Ate . . . I’m pregnant. What s-should I do?” I said while crying, I lowered my head thinking what to do because to be honest, I really don’t know what to do next now.We left. I left him, for real. I can’t seem to accept that I left him. But the pain will continue if I don’t. My parents did something horrible to his family, and he did the same to my family. So I don’t know if we can continue or stay with each other without thinking about what happened. The pain is excruciating and can’t bear anymore.Ate Kiana’s eyes looking at me were full of sadness, anger, and sympathy. I tried to be strong but I know to myself that I couldn’t. Hindi ako kagaya ni Ate Kiana.“Dad is in jail now. He has many cases to face. Moreover, he owed a lot of money that he still can’t pay. The company is now under Callum’s name so he has no claim anymore.” Ate Kiana informed. “Callum doesn’t know that . . . you are not the real son of Mommy and Daddy. I mean, he had no idea that you were Mommy’s sister’s dau

“She’s dead, Hailey. She— She was shot.”I was depressed and couldn’t immediately answer what he said. I lost the courage to speak. At the same time as I took a deep breath, my tears fell.“Everything is a mess right now, Hailey. T-The company’s now . . . u-under Callum’s name. I-I don’t know how did it happened. Dad said he tricked him. A-And Daddy . . . Daddy was the one behind what happened to Callum’s parents. Daddy . . . h-he killed them . . .”I cried hard when I heard that. I couldn’t even accept the last word Ate Kiana spoke to me.“N-No. . .” I whispered. I tried to deny what I found out. I tried to put aside that this was Callum’s goal now.“Zild and I found out that . . . he supposed to marry me because I am the real daughter. Or even the first daughter. But he thought you were my parents real daughter. I talked to Justin, h-he said, Callum was supposed to marry me so he was surprised that he saw you. Because he knew I’m an only daughter. But was wrong when he saw you inste

Our relationship goes on. Even though everything was a bit difficult, I didn’t budge. Kiana is even more telling me to be alert and be careful.“I’m just warning you, Hailey. This is not the time or season to be complacent. Until we can be sure that Callum has no bad intentions, we should be cautious. Especially you. Because you’re the one whose with him all the time, you’re the one he’s married to, and you’re the one he’s falling for so badly. So be careful. Okay?” she said while she’s in my office. “I am also investigating on my own. Even more so, Mommy and Daddy are a bit anxious about something. I don’t know because every time I ask them, they say that everything is fine and that I should not worry. I’m just thinking that there’s something wrong.” She put her hand on her forehead and shook her head as if she didn’t know what to do.“What’s the state of our company, Kiana?” I asked slowly.“It also slowly rising because of Callum’s name in it. As a . . . finally a half owner and st

I was in a bad mood all day while at the office. I barely finished my lunch and I’m in a daze even though I have so much to do today.I am bothered, yes.Because I know who Faith is in Callum’s life. She once made him happy and complete. She once a part of his life and who knows if she still is. He loved her truly, while me? It is all just a pragmatic marriage. A relationship full of convenience. He just felt lust towards me and nothing much. Just that. And it hurts that from the very beginning, I’m a loser.They are all just using me.A few more days passed and I noticed that Callum was getting very busy. I don’t know what it’s for but I’m not asking either. He might be mad at me for being too nosy.I’m his wife yet I feel like I don’t have the right to ask more questions. I feel like there’s a miles of gap between us.“You look so pale, Hailey.” Dustin commented when we had lunch together.“Just tired,” I answered weakly.His eyes narrowed at me. “Tired or there . . . is something b

I couldn’t lose the smile on my face while in the office because I still remember Faith’s expression earlier. My smile didn’t fade. He was furious that you thought Callum belonged to him.He’s mine. I won’t let you steal my man.“Ma’am, the meeting will start in five minutes.” Christina informed me.“Alright,” I said before standing up and following him to the conference room.I distracted myself by taking care of the project I was working on. I had almost consecutive meetings that day. So I suddenly felt dizzy. I didn’t pay attention to that because I was in the middle of the meeting.I ate right on time, so I don’t know why I feel dizzy. Or maybe from fatigue and stress? I’m doing so much that maybe my body is giving up. But I can’t rest yet. It’s necessary for what I’m doing right now so I can’t rest yet.“Ma’am, are you all right?” Chris asked when the meeting ended.I smiled at her, “yes, I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy because you know, we’ve done a lot and I still have a lot

“He’s waiting in the living room,” said the maid while looking at me.I got nervous. Why is he here? Is he mad at me? Because we didn’t eat breakfast together and didn’t go to work together? Or maybe he’s angry because I insulted his ex-girlfriend?“What are you waiting for, Hailey? Your husband is in the living room!” Dad’s voice filled my ears that’s why I almost jumped on my seat.They’re now heading inside the house and I am just the only one whose sitting on my chair.“Y-Yes, Dad.”I immediately stood up and followed them, trembling and not knowing what to do. I saw my mom look at me and narrowed her eyes on me. I look away and pretended to be cool even if my mind is in haywire right now. Dad seemed too pleased to hear that Callum is here. Ate Kiana is just silent while walking inside.When I got all the way inside, I immediately saw the bulk of Callum’s body with his back to our side. When he notice we’re arriving, he looked our way and I saw how his jaw clenched when our eyes m
