“You’re off to work now?” I asked while wiping my hands. I just got finished washing the dishes. I look at him with gentle eyes.
He nodded while adjusting his necktie. I approached him and helped him fix his necktie. He stopped what he was doing and let me continue.I’ve got conscious when I felt his stare at me. He’s not glaring, he’s just staring like I’m kind of a puzzle. I looked up at him and smiled slightly.“You're old enough but you still don't know how to fix your necktie.” I joked with him and it was followed by a short laugh. But he didn't even look happy and his expression was still serious.After a while, I gasped when I felt the touch of his warm palm on my waist.I don't know why, but I always get a strange feeling every time our skin comes close. Whenever he touches me by accident or whenever I try to touch him. There was a strange tickling in my stomach. Sometimes my whole body gets hot because of that.It was just a simple interaction from my husband but I feel like palpitating! Gosh, Callum! What are you doing to my system.“I don't need to learn now,” his husky voice sent shivers down my spine. “I have a wife now that knows how to tie my necktie properly. So what’s the use of learning, right?” I was trying to furrow my brow even as the butterflies in my stomach were tickling it because of what he said.“You’re so cocky, Callum. What if you're not with me? And you have to attend board meetings or formal parties, you still won't learn how to tie a necktie properly?” I glared at him and placed my two palms on his shoulder when I finished.His face darkened, “why? Do you have plans on going somewhere without me?” I rolled my eyes on him.I laughed a little even though my heart was touching. “Nothing, of course. But what if I plan to spend the night with Kiana, then I can't get home early, no one will take care of you. Even if other housemaids are there, it's still different when I take care of you.” There, Hailey. You’re getting professional now!He chuckled nonchalantly, “I guess you’re right. But when you're not around, then I'll take care of myself. When you are here, you will take care of me.” He smiled that almost melt my heart.He crouch to kiss my lips and smiled at me. His eyes glint of so much unadulterated emotion I couldn’t fathom.“It’s not a bad idea to marry, huh. To have a wife like you is a blessing in disguise.” Then he kissed my forehead.I closed my eyes tightly and smiled lovingly.“Come on, you might be late for your work. You must have a meeting at this time. You can’t be late at work.” he looked shocked.“How did you know?” he asked while frowning at me.“Uhh...” I scratched the back of my neck in shame. “I saw it in your study table and kind of... Uh... Memorize it.” I smiled awkwardly at him.He sighed before gently cursing. “You’re so unbelievable. But, yeah, I need to go now. Bye, wife.” he kissed me one more time before living the house with his bodyguards.I sighed heavily and crossed my arms over my chest. Realizing that Callum is now changing his attitude towards me. He’s caring, actually. And he’s also gentle to me. I don't know if that's the way he treated me on purpose or what. Whereas when we first got together, he hardly came home to the mansion and I even heard that he was having sex with women.And I am here, waiting patiently like a faithful wife does.I stayed there dumbfounded until I remembered what Daddy and I talked about last month. And since then I've been really trying. But I'm actually the one backing down because I can't.I'll be at home all day because I don't have work today. Until I get bored at home only reading books. I have to plan. I need to plan my romance with Callum and get him to agree to merge with our company. According to Daddy's wishes.Why am I stuck here, anyway?I said the driver just drop me to a nearby restobar. I just need to think while drinking. I used to drink before, when I was in college. Because Daddy allowed me to study at a prestigious university in Manila, I learned to drink. And that's what made Daddy the most angry with me. Sometimes I even drank with my sister Kiana so they got even angrier.“One bottle of Martini,” I said to the waiter and also ordered something to eat while drinking.When my order came, I immediately started drinking while thinking. Some even tried to sit in the opposite chair but I immediately said, “I already have a husband”. And they will leave immediately.I don’t want to cheat, of course! Even if it's a forced marriage, it's still not good for a woman to cheat. I just don't know about Callum. This is so frustrating.“How is that?! How can I do that?!” Frustrated, I gulped down the wine that was in the bottle while adjusting myself because I really had no idea about that.How can I seduce my husband?!I already tried to search about how to romance your husband. But there’s just the same context! It’s always about sex! I don’t even have any experience on that thing!“What the fuck is wrong with you, woman?!” a familiar voice filled my ears.With wide eyes, I tried to look back and saw Callum. Huh? Callum? Why is he here? No, he can’t be here. It’s still working hour!“Nah. I’m just hallucinating. I drank too much, I think.” I whispered to myself as I looked at the bottle of wine in front of me. It's only about three or four inches tall.Wow, did I drink too much? I chuckled.“Yeah? You really drunk too much. Why the hell are you here, Avery?” another familiar growl made me realize something.“Oh my gosh!” I look at who’s talking. “What time is it now?”“It’s already 6:30pm,” his dark expression gives chill inside me.“C-Callum...”“You’re not hallucinating now? Then, let’s go.” I was about to speak when he suddenly picked me up bridal style.“Wait, Callum! I haven't been paid yet!” I even slapped his shoulder just to make him put me down.“I already paid it all!” I kept quiet and just put my arms around his neck before closing my eyes.I felt him put me in the passenger seat of his car, because I knew it was his just by the smell. I didn't speak or wake up because my vision was really getting worse.I must have fallen asleep on the trip because I only woke up when Callum was putting me down on our bed. He was about to stand up properly but I didn't release my arm around his neck.“Don’t leave,” I said in a slurred voice.“I won't leave. I'll just get a towel in the bathroom. I will wipe you. You stink, Avery.” I pouted and let him leave my side.I really watched to see if he really went to the bathroom. When I was sure of that, I closed my eyes again. A satisfied smile crept on my lips.I just felt the touch of a wet towel on my face and neck. I moaned when he suddenly touched my skin. This is how he affect me!“Fuck,” I heard Callum groan and cuss, then he stopped wiping me.“Callum...” I called him, almost a moan.“Please, wife, don’t speak like that. It’s tempting...” he said breathilyThat's why I opened my eyes and looked at him.“Callum, we haven't gone on a honeymoon yet.” I sneered and reached for his face, my hand slipped to his nape and pull him close to me.I lifted myself up to kiss him better. He groaned and kissed me back. You thought me how to kiss well!He deepened the shallow kisses were sharing. He sucked my lower lip for me to part my lips so he could enter his tongue inside my mouth, invading it. I moaned softly as he flicked his tongue inside my mouth. I almost forgot to breathe as he kissed me.“Uhmm...” I moaned as he bit my bottom lip again.He let go of my lips and dropped his kiss to my jaw. I arched my body when he sucked and bit my neck lightly. His right hand molded my left chest while his kisses were now traveling down to my valley. I arched my body even more.“Ohh!” I moaned when he sucked my breast under my cloth.I was almost out of a trance when I felt the heat of his mouth there. I almost cried when he bit the top of my breast and spanked my other breast at the same time.“Fuck,” he cursed under his breath and pushed my blouse up until he freed my mounds. “Beautiful.” he said breathily and crouched to kiss the valley of my breast."Ahh! Callum!” It was just a simple kiss but I almost went crazy.“This not the 20 percent of what I can do, my wife.” he said huskily and sucked my peak, flickering his tongue around it, then sucked again.“Ohh... Fuck, Callum! That’s it.” I'm sure that the loudness of my screams will hear me at outside our room.His hand, then, travelled down my body until it reached my private part. That no one ever touched! His finger rubbed my femininity that is still fully clothed. I arched my body deliriously. Then he went up again to kiss my lips. I busied myself in his hot kisses.He positioned himself on top of me without breaking our kiss. His hand is still twisting my body. His finger stroking my womanhood is pressing it and a strange sensation is really gushed through my body right now.He left me and took off my clothes and the pants I was wearing. I felt the coldness of the room when he finally undressed me. He looked at my body, amusement in his eyes, and glimmered with so much lust and unadulterated emotions. I felt embarrassed that’s why I crossed my legs and my arms over my chest.“Why are you covering it up? This is a beautiful view, wife. And this... Is mine.” he said huskily until he couldn’t take it anymore.He undressed himself, my eyes widened when I see all of his glory. Then, he positioned himself on top of me and kissed my lips aggressively.I don't know where to turn my attention, if he is kissing and rubbing his manhood on me or his big manhood that I don't know how many inches it is!“Oh my– heaven!” I moan as loud as I can when he continued rubbing his maleness in mine.“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked huskily.“Y-Yes...” I answered him breathlessly.“Just make sure. Because if you regret it tomorrow, you will be punished by me, Hailey Avery.” the emphasis in his voice made my hair stand on end.“Yes, Callum... I’m sure of it.” I even dared to reach for him without blinking.He inhaled sharply when I touched it.“Oh, fuck, baby...” he said as he gasped for air before losing patience and tore off my bra, including the panties I was wearing.“Oh my God, Callum! Why did you ripped it off?!” I shouted at him.“That’s the easy way,” he smirked then kissed me again to my lips, down to my jaw, to the valley of my breast, to my stomach, then to my pearl.I moaned loudly when he suddenly kissed it. He lifted both of my thighs before licking my womanhood.“Oh my... Good heavens! Oh!” I gasped while feeling his lips on my womanhood.This is what I’ve watched! In that site... When I searched about how to romance your husband... Oh my gosh! This is so good!He hardened his tongue and inserted it into the opening of my womanhood. I tugged at his hair, not knowing whether to push him or make him squirm with my delicacy.He licked. Lap. Sucked. And thrust his tongue inside me making me shiver.After a while I felt something forming in my stomach. I feel like I’m peeing.“Ca-Callum, I-I’m gonna pee...”But he still didn't stop and continued doing it to me.“Cal, I-I can’t — I can’t take it anymore — oh!” until it exploded in my femininity.He was still doing what he was doing while closing his eyes tightly. When the juice ran out, his kiss rose again on my chest until it landed on my lips again. I don't know what I tasted in his mouth, maybe because of what he did to me.My mind went blank when I suddenly felt the tip of his maleness in my entrance.“Tell me to stop,” he said breathlessly as he continued to rub his manhood. “Please, tell me.”“No... Continue. Please... I want you. I want this.” I said without even thinking. There was no inhibition left in my mind as I felt him.“Fuck, baby.” he said before slowly and gently inserting his manhood into me.I screamed out loud because of the pain I felt. It was like my heart was torn apart and it was hurt badly because of his entrance. Until he inserted it completely and I felt full. I cried because of the pain.“Hush, baby. Hush. My wife, don’t cry.” he kissed the side of my eyes and my lips. “Just tell me to withdraw. I would do it, gladly.” he said almost begging.“N-No, please. Don’t. M-Maybe the pain will disappear too.” I said, almost moaning.“I won’t move until you’re used to my size, okay?” I just nodded even though I don't know if I can get used to his size.He stayed in that position for a while and didn't really move. Until I got used to it and moved myself.“Fuck!” he hissed. “Wife, don’t—” he seemed to lose the patience he was keeping before pushing himself and positioning himself properly on me.“Ahh!” I moan when he plunged himself inside me continuously.I kept moaning as he kept going in and out of me. And as it went on for a long time, I was getting used to his size.He thrust inside me gently, until it became fast and kind of hard. And we moan in unison as pleasure came inside me. He continued what he was doing until I felt again the build up of something in my stomach like I felt before.“Fuck!” he cursed repeatedly while thrusting in and out of me.After a while I couldn't take it anymore and took me out again while he still didn't stop.“Ohh! Good heavens!”“Fuck, baby.” he plunged himself for a few thrust until I felt hot liquid gushed through my womb.He gave me a few more thrust until it was over, he lay down beside me. I'm just now back to being drunk and my eyelids are drooping.“Fuck. I don’t think I can revenge now.” he whispered but I didn't understand because I was sleepy."Dad, you can't do that to my sister!" Kiana shouted at our parents.I just bowed my head and just listened to them in their decision for my life.I lived my entire life like this. Controlled and manipulated by my adoptive parents. We're blood related because Mom is my biological father's sister. I was just adopted by them when my parents died due to plane crashed when I was just five years old. And because Kiana was missing that time, they want me to be their own child. To fill the emptiness they're feeling.They legally adopted me months after my parents burial. It is also because my parents entrusted me to them. I somehow, learned about to love them as my real parents. At the first ten years, they're good at me. They all treated me well. Even sometimes I get scolded, especially when they are hot-headed and beat me, that was fine with me because I knew that was part of disciplining me.Until they saw their daughter, Kiana, when I was sixteen years old. I was happy for them when they
“Callum Travis Villanueva,” he handed me his hand while looking so intimidating in front of me.I gulp before shaking his hand firmly, “H-Hailey Avery de Guzman.” I introduced while withdrawing my hand from him and looking away.“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Ms. de Guzman.” his husky voice sent shivers down my spine.“L-Likewise. And uh... Just call me Avery or Avery, whatever you please. It’s too formal if you’ll call me Ms. de Guzman every time.” I said while looking away from his intense eyes.He chuckled, “I prefer to call you Avery. I like it more.” he said seductively.I frowned and look at him straight in his eyes. “Okay,”“You can call me Callum or Travis.” he said without taking his eyes off me.“Callum,” I seemed to be very used to pronouncing his name when my mouth utter his precious name.It feels like a deja vu.He was my crush... When I was in College. He’s my senior that time and I was a freshman. Way back the time when I was new to school because that was my fi
When he pulled me gently I just let go. I was just dumbfounded until we got in front of his car.I looked at him when he opened his car door for me. I slowly got in there and put on my seatbelt. He turned around in his car to get to the driver's seat. I sit there like a statue, not wanting to move nor talk. I just look outside and refused to look at him.“Your things are already in my house,” I just turned to him when he spoke.I nodded and just covered my mouth before looking away from him. He started the engine of his car before speaking again.“You don’t have to worry about household chores, I have enough house helpers in my house. They can also help you if you want to learn some things. Just asked them away.” I shut up when he finished speaking before looking at him.“Uhm... I also have a work. But... I'll try to cook you breakfast... That's only if you want. But if you don't want it, you can't do it." I took it back because it looked like he didn't expect what I said, my offer.H
“You really should. Because the moment I found out you had a man or flirting a man, I will make sure that your life with me will be a living hell.” I swallowed hard at what he said and didn't move.A strange fear crept into my system causing my body to stiffen. I didn't immediately move and process what he said.His words and menacing voice still lingers my mind even if it’s now evening. His words were still stuck in my mind like a lecture I should memorize.“So you should behave like a faithful wife does.”So does he. Why would I be just the one to behave and be faithful if we’re both in this marriage? I really should know him more. I really should think always that I married a man like him. He’s not as kind as I thought because from the very start he never showed me softness. He’s always rough and shows no emotions at all. I should be careful because I don’t know what would happen next if I did something wrong.Maybe he's just like Mommy and Daddy. He will be rough on me, too. He wi
That's what really happened. After we ate breakfast, he had his car taken by a caretaker at the garage. Before he led me out of the mansion.“Are you really not going to bring your lunch, Ma'am Hailey?” asked Mrs. Juliet. A while ago she was asking me if I was going to bury the food because he said he was not sure if the company’s food was cooked properly.“Not anymore, Mrs. Juliet. Uh, I’ve been working there for a long time so I’m sure their food is good and delicious. But... Uhh... If you will insist, you can pack me a lunch tomorrow?” I promise even though it’s not really necessary.I have money for my food purchases and buy my personal items and necessities. I'm working, so even if you say I want to save money, it's embarrassing. But then... Callum is now my husband. I have all the rights to— No. I can work for my own, though. I can’t just rely on Callum for all that even though I have money and work.“Oh he's fine, tomorrow I'll prepare your lunch for work. I will remember that
I looked up at the ceiling while thinking about the design my client wants. I'm at the study table here in the room and my head is leaning on the backrest of the swivel chair while thinking. The client wants more contemporary theme but with some mixed of modern. It’s possible but hard. That's why I'm having a hard time thinking of what to put there now. I also have a copy of the blueprint of their entire mansion and they let me do what needs to be done.It’s still new and still under construction that's why I still have time to work on the interiors that will be placed in the mansion.“You’re still not sleeping yet?” I was startled when I heard that baritone voice so I looked at where it was coming from.There, I saw Callum standing in the doorway while looking at me.“Uh . . . I am still doing something here.” He nodded before walking towards the walk in closet. When he came out, he had a towel hanging over his shoulder and the clothes he was wearing earlier were now gone. I kept loo
When I saw that he was asleep, I sighed before standing up to get a small basin downstairs and a face towel as well. I will wipe him and change his clothes because he smells like alcohol. I can't sleep because he smells like that. Or maybe I'll just sleep on the sofa. I also removed his clothes and shoes.“Mrs. Juliet, can you please hand me a basin, even a small one, and a clean face towel. I'm just going to wipe Callum," I said when I got down to the kitchen.“Alright wait for me,” she immediately rushed to get what I needed.When she got it, she gave it to me with a frown.“Eat before you wipe your husband, Hailey. What time is it? It’s already late and you haven't eaten yet." she said while looking at the wall clock in the kitchen.“Just send it to the room. I'll just eat there after I wipe Callum.”She nodded at what I said, so I left and went straight to my room with Callum. When I entered there, I saw that he was still in the same condition and seemed to be sleeping soundly. I
My tears flowed continuously as I got into the car and drove down the road to my work. Earlier, Benjie kept asking me if I was okay but I didn't answer him and just kept shaking my head. He looked worriedly at me in the rearview mirror while driving.I just looked out the window while wiping my tears.Am I really that quick to hurt? Am I really worthless to others? I know that Callum doesn't like or love me because maybe he was forced to marry me. Maybe just because of his company. So I can't blame him if . . . he will look for warmth in another woman."We're here, ma'am." I blinked and quickly straightened myself up before getting out of the car.I didn't even thank Benjie for taking me here, I just got out and walked straight into the building. The guard even greeted me but I couldn't greet him back because I was feeling so many emotions right now.I took a deep breath as I entered the elevator to stop the emotions I am feeling right now. When the elevator door opened, I immediately
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
