Romancing the Devil CHAPTER 10
“He can’t be here. He’s mad at me. My husband is mad at me.” then a single tear fell from my eye.“Hey, wife . . . don’t cry.” His soothing voice filled my ears.I teared up even more when I heard that. I feel a lot of emotions, especially when I hear his cold soothing voice again.“No . . . my husband, Callum, is mad at me.” Para na akong batang umiiyak pero wala pa ring pakialam.“Hush now, baby. I’m sorry, I was just pissed. I’m not mad at you.” He comforted me before hugging me.I cried in his chest, not minding if I everybody’s looking at us now. I just want to cry like a baby here.“My sister is a mess, Callum. You should get her home now.” I heard Kiana said to my husband.“Thank you for calling me,” Callum answered as he gently stroked my back. "Let's go home now, wife." he said while trying to make me sit on the couch properly.“No.” I said firmly and finally before walking away from him. I can see the shock on his face as well as the anger. "Kiana, take me home. Callum is ma

“Wife, talk to me please . . .” Callum's coaxing voice immediately greeted me as I came out of the bathroom.I'm wearing a bathrobe and drying my hair thoroughly while going to the walk in closet to get dressed.“Fuck, how did the table turned?” I heard him say that I just ignored it until I got inside the walk in closet. Then I heard him groaned frustratedly.I was looking for clothes in my closet when the door of the room's walk in closet suddenly opened. I was shocked and look at the door and saw Callum dashingly entering the room like a King. I want to shout at him for him to leave the room but I stopped myself. Instead, I continue looking for a dress and for my underwear. I just realized that I’m not wearing any underwear now. Just a freakin’ bathrobe.I chose to wear a dusky pink coloured taurus type dress and underwear. I don’t have to wear any brassiere because the dress have silicon bra. And I also get my slingback wedge to wear later.“Wife, stop this silent treatment, pleas

Even in the elevator I was embarrassed because of what Callum did. He's a well-known business magnate, then he's just going to shout like that outside our building? Wasn't he even ashamed of what he did? I was the only one who was embarrassed for him.After I got to my office, I immediately took care of work because I have a lot of deadlines today. I could hardly stop doing what I was doing while my secretary was assisting me. I didn't eat lunch because I was too busy at work. Sheina didn't even bother me anymore, maybe she saw that I was doing a lot today, so did she."Is that really true?" I turned to my office door when I heard Dustin's voice.I frowned, "what is it?" I asked, turning to my computer monitor again."That Callum Villanueva is your husband?" he asked, curiosity is visible in his eyes as he look at me."Yes," I answered without hesitation."Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was full of bitterness and irritation and . . . pain "Since when?""I'm sorry, Dustin. I know y

“It’s been a week,” I whispered as I looked into the nowhere. "Dustin still ignores me." I added sadly before sighing."I hope you explained to him what happened until you and your wife got married." I looked at Kiana who was on the other couch reading a magazine.I’m here at our parent’s house, visiting them. But I couldn't catch up with Mommy and Daddy. They have a meeting abroad. That's okay because I'm ashamed to face my father.I sighed heavily, “If I have known that this would be his reaction, sister. I wish I had told him right away.” I’m still guilty for not telling him about my marriage.That was just an arranged marriage but that was still a marriage. And Dustin . . . he said he’s courting me. But I didn’t know he’s my suitor. I don't know what to do just to make him talk to me again. I don't know how I can explain to him if this is how he can't even look at me every time we meet at the company. He's just walking past me and that's it. No greetings, no smiles, no teasing, no

The next day Callum and I went to work together. And as he said, when our school schedule is the same, he will drop me off or when he is not in a hurry.“Tell me when you’re going somewhere, okay?” I looked at him and pouted before nodding at him."Sorry, I didn't tell you that I went to Kiana. I don't want to disturb you because you're busy with work. Just maybe . . . you were in a meeting that's why I didn't call you." I said while looking away.“You could’ve just texted me.” he said in a hard voice.I slowly nodded, "a-alright. I'm sorry." I said before opening the door of his car.But before I could get out completely, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I turned to him as he greeted me with a kiss on the lips. My eyes widened and stared at the seat as I felt his kiss on my lips. Softly but I can feel his restraint on my lips. He bit my lower lip slightly before pulling away from the kiss. He put some light kisses again before looking deep into my eyes.“Just don’t make

“Fuck. I don’t think I can revenge now.” he whispered but I didn't understand because I was sleepy.I just woke up to a gentle caress I feel on my arm and the soft fingers touching my shoulder and jaw. And the big arms wrapped around my waist in a tight hug. He almost pressed his body against me while I turned my back to him and felt his body on my back.“Good morning, my wife.” He kissed my shoulder and jaw consecutively making me groan lightly. “Can you still stand?” I immediately woke up and my eyes widened at his question and I blinked.“We . . . really did it . . . last night?” I asked, still couldn’t believed that we really did have sex last night.“Yeah,” he said hoarsely before nuzzling his nose on my neck. “Why? You don’t believe we did that?” he asked in his bedroom voice.“I-I just can't believe it . . . I mean . . .” I bit my lower lip, feeling embarrassed now.He chuckled seductively, “that was awesome. Our making love last night was damn amazing.” It just made my cheeks

“I’m here to ask you for a lunch date.” My eyes widened and I couldn't believe what I heard.He’s asking me for a lunch date. A date!“A date . . .?” I asked him softly, still in disbelief.“Yes,” he smiled and pulled my arm closer to him as if we’re not that close to each other now.“D-Do not you have . . . meeting today?” I asked him while the expression shown was soft. I really can't believe it. . . he's asking me out on a date now.“I should be the one to ask you that. Because I’m free the whole afternoon so . . .” he looked at me with the same expression I have.I bowed slightly before looking up at him again, “I’m free until 1pm, but after that I have to be here to work and I have an upcoming meeting at 3pm.” He nodded before sliding his palm into my hand.I looked at him and immediately my chest heaved when I saw his wide palm covering my small and soft palm. It seems too fit with each other. Seems like it was carved really for each other. I bit my lower lip before looking up a

“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 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
