Calista pov Sleep was avoiding me like an enemy that night, the more I tried to press my eyes shut and shove them into the pillow the more I seemed annoyed with me and he ignored me as if I was a player that is hard to stay as far away from as possible. At one point I give up trying to pursue sleep and I sat up on my bed causing my hands together and looking at one direction my room to another unfamiliar direction, it didn't take long for me to be thinking about that other room once again. Why did he have to lie to me? There was no need for him to do that. Instead, he could have given me a good explanation for why he had a children 's place when there was no child living with him in the first place. It wasn't something that I could just brush under the carpet as I may. Any explanation that I tried to prop up in my own head was always something that made my insides twist like knots and my shoulders will immediately feel heavy with the burden that they were carrying on one side
Grey pov "Why is my coffee cold?" I snapped loudly at my secretary and the reaction was immediate, shaking as if she had been thrown into a bucket of ice. I relaxed back into my soul washer and just wait highway the plump middle-aged woman looked at me apologetically and began to play with me not to fire her from her job that she was a single mother and she was the only one taking care of our kids ever since she had a messy divorce with her former husband. I will tell video telling her that I was not interested in her life story and I was here for business she immediately ran out then before she could get to the door I called her back again angrily telling her to dispose of the coffee all together and not to bother bringing it to me again for the rest of the day when she was gone I sighed into my palms tiredly. Nowadays everybody kept at a distance away from me whenever I stepped into the office not really I had a very authoritative and demanding presence that made everybody so sit
Calista pov Four days had already passed since I decided to take refuge in his home and honestly I appreciated what he was doing for me since it was an inconvenience to him at best from my own perspective from someone that he was not going to be getting anything from he was helping me out so much.Now the only thing that I needed was the result a DNA sample from my fake husband and my two kids I was having a subscription in my mind but sI needed proof before I could even voice it out to Leon and I didn't want to sound crazy but I guess that was something that I was already being onto now.Anytime I thought about my memory of seeing that children's room it was still so vivid and clear almost as if it had been reality and yet from what I have seen when I last open the door to that room it was clear that the children's room had never been there so don't try to brush it off telling me that I was probably just missing my children a lot and that was why I was imagining stuff like that but
Bella pov"What do you mean that you have been unable to see her?" I yelled into my phone with annoyance and then the only thing I got next was a very lame excuse that followed right after my demand for an answer that she had been unavailable. He was really beginning to get on my nerves it was becoming more and more apparent to me that the only use that he had was in bed but practically anywhere else he proved himself to be constantly useless over and over again no wonder it was his brother that was running the entire business while he himself is nothing to write home about. Even though I was boiling on my bed I have learned earlier in our relationship that I could practically say anything to him I'm here with nothing to do but all I had to do was compare him with his brother and he will literally explode like a bikini that had been very much aggression for hundreds of years, no matter how much I felt like saying something that will really take him under the skin can break that trad
Calista pov Saying that my heart literally stopped at that moment was no exaggeration at all and about a second when his fingers made contact with my entire body instantly felt cold as if a cold breeze had swept across the dining room area. That voice that had been earlier I was going to make that staying at an unmarked male's house was a bad idea was now screaming it in my ear so loudly that I thought that I was going to go deaf I tried to casually pull my fingers away but then the next thing I knew his own fingers were wrapped around me that was wrapping around expecting to make them unconscious and the discomfort that wrap around my entire body was like a tsunami that was trying to drown me. I tried to smile despite all of this despite the fact that I felt like crawling out of my skin after that very moment and he looked at me and if you come to love not finishing the sentence that he had made before or I think he did finish it but it was a question and he didn't really wait for
Calista pov Sweat immediately began to roll down my forehead as I looked down at the mail that was holding on to my hand as if his life depended on it I tried to brush it off with an awkward laugh but he didn't let go of my hand even relaxing his grip just a little bit and I became more worried as I stared into his eyes and finally asked him verbally to let go of my hand. It was almost as if he had been abruptly woken up from a sudden sleep as he began to blink his eyes rapidly and he finally let go of my hand, dropping it on his lap and looking at me once more again."I'm sorry I didn't mean to grip on to you that tightly but you need to understand that I'm trying to help you…" Now I couldn't deny that he was actually trying to help me but at the same time I also couldn't deny that they were underlined favors that he was probably expecting me to provide for him in exchange for all of these favors but I was not capable of doing any of these things for him actually I was but I had
Grey pov "What do you mean that we have been experiencing loss?" I yelled at the board of directors and their most intelligent response to this was to exchange wide-eyed looks at each other and mumbling. I couldn't take it anymore. I rested my head and on my chin and told all of them to get out of my sight. My secretary leaned over to me and told me that the meeting was supposed to last for about two to three hours and it lasted only 15 minutes. I looked up at everyone and with the expression on my face as I said to them I believe I did not want anyone here "All of you out now l." They could all see that I wasn't joking at all and one after the other they immediately fled out as if the place was on fire leaving only me and my secretary who was looking down at me with concern but also with intense fear about asking me what was wrong. I couldn't remember the last time my business had recorded a loss on any new projects that we have started. It was actually incredible to hear even
BELLA'S POV"Ash you have to do something he's going to meet that b**** I screamed at my lover in the parking lot of the hospital as I watched my husband from his car ready to walk into the hospital. "Bella, you know that my brother and I are not on good terms. In fact, that's an understatement right now. I think we'll have a better chance of convincing him if you go outside." I looked at the man that I had put so much trust in with absolute frustration and I felt like coming outside and flipping over his second-hand car but I took a few careful breaths and thought about what to do. "So you are not helping me?" I asked him helplessly and his response to that was just staring out the windscreen and whistling to himself. Honestly, I don't know how I've been able to tolerate this person for this long but since I was already in this situation I had to make a way out for myself I knew that even if I went out and spoke to him Grey was not going to listen to me or pay attention the only re
Epilogue Calista pov "Kids don't get so close to the water!" "Don't worry Mom, we aren't that close!" I eased my back into my reclining chair with a groan. "Gosh, they can be so stubborn at times... I wonder who they take it from," I said looking at my husband and he smiled back at me his eyes sparkling through his sunglasses. "Come on, sweetheart, you know they take it from the both of us." "Actually..." I was about to deny it and then just resigned to my fate trying to enjoy the sun at the beach, my eyes straight over to the beach as I saw my three children friends playing together and the sight alone was enough to make my heart immediately bubble-up with joy. When I was much younger I remembered Bella and her parents getting ready for the beach but I was never allowed to come with them on the rare occasion that I was actually allowed to come along. It was just to be their maid. I honestly thought that I would never have a family of my own. I sighed, this was going to mak
Calista povI was really planning to wait for the police but that was until I heard the cry of my children coming from inside the warehouse that I had traced Bella's phone to. Unable to hold myself back anymore I decided to enter inside of the warehouse through a back entrance. I had actually been familiar with this place before when I had first married my husband, however the business here had eventually collapsed and it was abandoned so I knew a secret entrance in the back way.The place was now so abandoned that trees were even going around it and it looked like a miniature wood, this proves to be in my advantage eventually because when I went to the back I was able to pick up a dead branch and then when I saw some thugs that wear circulating around the place probably as good as I was able to knock both of them cold with the branch that I had the second one proved to be a bit of a problem so I had to hit him a couple of times but when I checked out he was still breathing.My throat
Grey povAt my very last breath I told my brother to leave because I was not going to tolerate any of his nonsense anymore however instead of shutting up right there I'm turning around while he stroke his head what he just said to is something I could not bring out of my head he then said that there was no need for me to be in denial that Calista had never been satisfied by me and so she went over to see a real man that could do it.And that was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back the next thing that happened was that I instantly zoomed over my office until I was standing right in front of him and before he could even blink his eyes I grabbed him and pulled it up squeeze his neck so tight that he could barely even breathe and he was kicking his legs about but I just kept on squeezing him my mind was telling me that if I just put in a little more effort his oxygen supply will be completely cut off and then he will just die.Revenge that had been driving me for what felt l
Grey's pov Even when I was keeping an expressionless face everything inside of me was telling me to brush this woman's head against the side of the wall but it's that I was somehow able to keep myself and I remembered everything that Calista had told me about how I was always losing my temper but this was a lot for a man to bare and when she finally said that the children beautiful twins that Calista were not actually mine. I was ready to squash her skull at this point then Calista came forward with her hands planted on her hips and then she asked Bella what was the source of that horrible accusation that was when she presented the contents of the envelope stating that it was a DNA result between me and the children and then she said that it was more than enough proof to show that I was not the father of them. I took the envelope and I looked at the contents then after I was done doing so I really began to shred the paper up as if it was nothing and so it this woman was nothing mo
Calista povThe fury that was coming out of him right now could be felt from a mile away and I thought that I was going to suffocate by just looking at him I have seen my husband angry before ulcer of many of the times does anger was directed at me but I had never seen him this furious this bloodthirsty and I knew that stiff look in his eyes he wasn't joking at all when he said that he was going to kill both his twin brother and Bella. But I just couldn't let that happen because nobody would even care about the crimes that have been committed behind the closed door if he killed them rather the only thing that will be advertised on was the murder that everyone was going to witness because I seriously doubt it when he said that he was going to murder them even if they were in a public place or not with the way his eyes were burning with fury which was exactly why I could not let him go.I tried to tell him that they were definitely going to get what's coming to them and then we began t
Calista pov The drive back to the palace was not as quiet as the one into my father's house because as soon as we were far enough from my father's house Gray asked me what my plan was after we had gotten all the information we needed on Bella, and she eventually got the punishment that she deserved.I was looking out the window screen at that moment when he asked the question trying to ignore him but I decided that if I didn't answer him he was just going to keep talking about it throughout the entire ride back to the palace so admitted to him that I was going to have a simple life with my kids and raise them alone he almost packed abruptly if it wasn't for observation that we were in a busy road then his eyes were over to me as he asked me what I meant by that. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him that I meant every single word that I said and I seriously doubted that it needed any kind of explanation.His voice suddenly rose not in anger but it was definitely rising, h
Calista povI really miss to the days that I see my children all the time at least I didn't have to wait for literally weeks before I could look at them it could be a handful at times but when I didn't see them like this always feel anxious it was only the fact that they were under the care of their grandfather that made me able to sleep at night if not I would have been so troubled if they were actually in this Palace with Bella next door.After realizing that this woman was actually capable of poisoning her own son it would be no surprise to me at all if she attempted the same thing on my children and I was not going to let her get the chance to do something so horrible.While we were leaving the palace Grey said that we should take one of his less more conspicuous cars and that he was going to drive I really didn't care who drove as long as we got to see my children then when we8 approaching the car he went ahead of me and open the door to the front seat I just passed him by and we
Calista pov "I'm going to see my children today," I told Grey. He responded by his face contouring up with confusion though I don't understand what was so perplexing about what I just said. I had come to his room with the intention of taking his laundry to wash while I was actually there to tell him that I was going to see my children that very day. There was also another reason why I came here but this was one I was telling him about for now.He have been looking at me so expectantly the moment I walked in as if he was expecting me to jump right into the bed with him I could even see how he was intentionally closing on the way to attract me so I intentionally kept my eyes away from him but the time I was actually looking at him he seemed so frustrated but I was ignoring him."Don't you think it will be better if we visit the kids together?" He said suggestively and I mused on his idea then after a couple of seconds I shook my head negatively showing that I was not interested in tha
Calista pov The next day did not go exactly how as we planned it it was almost as if we have forgotten that the nanny was supposed to take care of the son because that was the worst timing possible the child fell sick, meaning that she was not allowed to leave his side for the entire day as he was not going to school so she would have to cater for his needs the whole day.The night before I had actually given her my number in the living room so that we will be able to communicate without meeting each other physically and avoiding the situation where I have to hide in the wardrobe from Bella she called me and it seemed as if she was about to burst into tears when she confessed that the child had suddenly fallen ill and she had to take care of him for the whole day.Just like that the time that I have been relying on since last night after she was shouted at by Bella but then I asked her to explain exactly what Bella did as usual she was a little hesitant but this time it was easier fo
