CALISTA'S POVI watched disappointment clock my husband's entire face when we finally arrived at the destination that I was speaking so proudly of and I felt kind of embarrassed but I didn't want to show it so easily I have been so thrilled when the maid came to call me as I was walking out of my shower that my husband wanted to eat with me.And then the moment he told me that he had cleared his entire schedule just for me- well he didn't exactly say he played his entire schedule he said he was free and asked what I wanted to do but they both translated in my brain the same way and I had gotten too excited and immediately said it the first thing that popped into my mind which seems like a bad idea because he didn't look pleased at all. After we bought our tickets and got him he looked like he could no longer hold his displeasure all into himself and turned to look down at me. "So this was your choice?" he asked me with an incredulous tone lacing his words and I felt like digging up
CALISTA'S POV I had not expected a lot of things to happen today, but the surprise that definitely topped the rest was my husband telling me that he wanted a divorce after what seemed like a perfect date. I stared at him with my mouth wide open because my jaw was too weak to keep it closed. My brain and my mouth battled together to think of the most suitable thing to say at that moment but nothing made any sense at all and I was still trying to wrap my head around what he said in the first place he wanted the divorce. Why? We have been getting along so well and today I was filled with so much laughter and smiles. He had even just kissed me just now and now he was asking for a divorce out of the blue? He hadn't asked for a divorce when he was treating me like trash but now that things were finally looking up he wanted to end our relationship. As he was attempting to come down from the Ferris wheel I pulled him back in with all the strength that was in my hand and of course that w
GREYSON'S POV I saw how my wife's palms protectively flew over to her ears to cover them from The sound of thunder but I doubt it that that would be enough to block away the sound and then I remember this was just how she had panicked the first night we were together when it had rained.Even if she has not told me her body language was more than enough to show that the rain triggered a traumatic experience for her and so I moved over to her on the couch and held are close to myself until she was totally buried in my walls and then she'll be going to mumble it's raining it's raining again it's always raining when someone abandons me we are going to abandon me just like them. I held her even tighter but then I had to relax a bit so that I would not make her snap like a twig in My arms by using all of my strength as I slowly stroke her hair and they began to hum in her ears and while that seems to calm her down a little bit she was still very unloved and shaking morning that I was goin
CALISTA'S POV As the time that passed by both me and my husband realized that our love was not just one of mere attraction by convenience but we are really truly deeply falling in love with each other and for the following years of our marriage were filled with happiness and joy but that was not something that we would have a claim to for long. We were about to clock five years in our marriage and yet and yes there was not even a single fruit to show from our marriage meaning that we did not even have one child after all the years that we have been married and when I looked at the calendar and realized that we only had a week left to be celebrating our 5th anniversary I felt my heart saying come to my stomach what is happening to me I was younger and so was my husband both of us were also very healthy as well or so I assumed. So where are we finding it hard to have a that I saw getting married after we had already gotten their kids and we're celebrating happily but we were still
CALLISTA'S POV"Mum, what a coincidence, isn't it just wonderful? Who would have thought that we would run into Calista here?"Bella said in an intentionally high-pitched voice that scratched against my ears like fingernails scraping through a chalkboard she was intentionally raising her voice to get people's attention I was aware of it and I wanted to back away as cautiously and smoothly as possible but before I could even get the chance Mrs. Walters wrapped her hand across my arm keeping me in place "Now where do you think you are running off to? the least you can do is at least have a little chat with us!""I wasn't running anywhere," I quickly denied as I pulled my hand away but she held it even tighter with a grip that was as hard as iron and it was actually starting to hurt. "Good, because we haven't seen each other in a while and we were hoping that we could catch up!" Bella said her voice, still high-pitched and annoying, hadn't changed at all in the years that have passed.
GREYSON'S POVEven from a mile away, it was easy to see the malicious look in my mother's eyes as she stood in front of the main Palace entrance tapping on her feet impatiently and when she spotted the two of us. Why was she here now I asked myself inwardly even though I was already subconsciously aware of why she would come here and she made it obvious when she opened her mouth and spoke for the first time then her eyes went over to my wife shooting daggers at her as if she was the one that created every disease on the earth. Then her eyes fell over to the bags that I was holding in my hand and her face twisted up as if she just beat straight onto a lemon fruit swallowing it all at the same time"I'm glad to see that you are spending my son's money very well maybe you can take this and have some conscience and give me a grandchild," I could see that all the color in my wife's face was getting washed away as if she had just dipped her entire head in bleach. I looked at my mother a
CALISTA'S POV"I think we need to go and see a doctor, "I watched and waited for my husband's reaction to that sentence and he looked at me as if that was the first time we had ever met each other and was wondering why a stranger was having breakfast with him.Before then was this unspoken agreement between the two of us that having a test was just like admitting that something was actually wrong with both of us or at least one of us but being in denial was not helping the situation either if either one or both of us had a problem then we could work on it instead of pretending that everything was alright and faking smiles every day. Yesterday night I had been unable to hold myself back and I had just broken down completely in tears when he caught me in the kitchen if he had not come a second earlier I would have to swallow down all those drugs and shoved them down my throat without hesitation When I thought about how many nights I have spent crying softly into my pillow so that it w
GREYSON S POV I had a good mind not to attend that blasted meeting because I knew just what exactly would happen the way going to humiliate my wife, if nothing else happened then that definitely would I was sure of it and that was more than enough to quench any desire to attend that meeting but from the looks of things my wife did not feel the same way and she insisted that we attend the meeting. "Your adopted family is going to be there,'' I said to her in case she had missed that part of the message. "Do you really want to be in the same room with my parents and the Walters at the same time?!" She was biting my bottom lip contemplatively as she looked at me and then bring her eyes before bringing her hands over to my chin again and it immediately clenched the moment he touched me despite the years that we have been together every time that we touched felt like the first and it's still since their electrifying feelings throughout my skin what's that was not what I was supposed to
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
