CALISTA'S POV I was not happy in my foot with impatience and confusion as I looked around to see if my father was going to be appearing anytime soon and my twins also seem to be impatient on the bench that we were sitting out here going to get them some cotton candy and now he was nowhere to be found it but he lost all his way to find us here again? For a brief foolish moment, I imagined that he was never going to come back again and that he would just leave my life like that. He has lied about the cotton candy and he just wanted to get as far away as you could from me. Of course, those ridiculous thoughts were quiet when I saw him heading over but he didn't have the cotton candy with him anymore and he looked quite shaken. His face was pale and he had grown about 20 years older since the last time I saw him. "Dad, did something happen?" I asked him immediately as I was standing up from the bench and he also saw his grandkids standing up as well rushing over to him. I'm standing b
Calista's POV It feels like a dream it had to be some kind of twisted nightmare that I needed to wake out of and it has been able to hold myself I pinched my waist and looked back up but instead of him to be gone he was sitting right next to me and I coughed up the lump of spit in my throat. It couldn't beBut I knew it was his eyes that were piercing through me like this world and I could recognize them anywhere it was my ex-husband despite the fact that we had not gotten a proper divorce that was the only thing I could call him. Greyson. The moment I saw him I was immediately floored by how handsome he had become. He really looked good on him and he now had a more mature look on his face leaving almost all the few boyish appearances that he used to process before as he was now older into his youth. "Mr smith it appears that you should have prepared your daughter for how handsome I was going to be in person," He said to my father who just nodded and smiled, I was looking betwee
CALLISTA'S POV. "Mummy wake up!" The next morning it was my kids that were pushing me away from the land of slumber as they came and began to bounce around my bed. I woke up and my sleepy eyes scanned the room until they finally landed on the wall clock that was hanging up I blink my eyes as I looked at the clock wondering if I was still dreaming because I had only 30 minutes to prepare for work and my kids were still in their pajamas that had an unidentified stain in both of them. How I did not instantly pass out was a mystery to me but I jumped out of the bed and immediately started getting ready for work and before I could do that I had to take care of my kids first so I had them take their baths and I dress them up and prepared their breakfast before I even started doing anything for myself. Ever since I started working for my father I have made sure to come early every single day even though some days I was tired and worn out from the last day of work and I would have really a
GREYSON POV I had waited so long, so long to finally reunite with my mate and now she was pushing me away at every turn and for now but I wasn't going to give up on her so easily like that five years ago. I allowed her to slip right through my fingers like a wind that had passed me by and had crossed my grasp. For five long years, these years it felt longer than the three decades that I had already lived. The only thing that seemed to be keeping me sane all that time that I spent wrapped in my depression was the chance that I was going to see her again, and so everyday for the past half-decade, I had only invested every day in trying to battle the regret. The regret that had hesitated too much and I believe that it was because of that hesitation that she had left me and so I wanted to do everything now but I could to keep her by my side, everyday I would relieve the prophetic mistakes that are made in the past and then I would make up fake scenarios in my head where I didn't ma
CALISTA'S POV "I'm glad to see that the project is moving very smoothly…" I glanced at my father and I couldn't help the little bubbles of anger that I was wearing inside of me against him. He hadn't done anything against me personally but if I hadn't known that I would have thought that he was intentionally plotting to set me back with my ex Grey. There was nothing more draining than waking up early in the morning and we are rising that I would have to endure 7 hours of seeing his face. I'm sure that at this point he practically spent more time at my father's company than he did on his own. He had practically taken over my secretary's job of making me coffee in the morning as he stole it from my secretary every morning and he came over to give it to me saying that he was just incidentally coming at the same time and decided to do that simple gesture. There was not a single chance that was available to him to shoe horn himself into my day that he didn't take advantage of and I was
Calista pov "Mr. Fernidad, do you mind?" I told him after Greyson had held my waist going over for a minute before he finally helped me up to my feet and I begrudgingly thanked him. I kept walking away but of course, was following after me again like a tail at my back. He wasn't saying anything but he kept falling after me as if we had arranged to go somewhere together. Finally, I was fed up and turned around to face him and he looked at me, his eyes blinking slightly and I could see that he was very amused by what he was doing. "You mind leaving me alone? I would really appreciate that I have a lot of work to take care of…" I have been a little surprised when he hadn't showed up when it was time for my break because that was when he was often popping out of the blue and asking me to go out with him and talk what has surprised me more than his absence was the fact that I was actually fully aware of it and I was expecting him to show up and when he didn't I actually felt a sl
Calista's pov "My dear, won't you be clocking in right now?" My father had asked me a couple of hours ago I had looked up from my laptop into his eyes."... so I think I'm going to be working a little overtime today" I said to him and I could see the look of disapproval that was in his eyes as he walked over to me and then sat on the available chair looking into my eyes. "My dear I heard about what happened at the cafeteria today," My fingers immediately froze on the laptop."How did you find out?" he cocked up one eye brown and tilted his head looking at me with slight amusement but it was filled up with concern as well."My dear it's my company I know everything that happens," I was wondering if he knew about my ex practically stalking me from place to place as well or if he just turned a blind eye to that thinking that it was just both of us working on the project. "Really? you know I expected some people to act like this and don't worry I can take care of them," "No
CALISTA'S POV I was just staring at him completely wide-eyed, and then my eyes quickly dropped over to his fingers on my wrist sinking into my flesh like needles before I snapped it away, turning around to face him fully with an angry glare on my face "What else were you expecting Carl?" I said to him unable to hold the spitefulness and the bitterness that slipped into my tongue, he had called me pretty which chart a little out of my relationship but I didn't want to make any regard towards it and how he was expecting me to throw something on his lap I couldn't even decide for either. And because I hadn't given him whatever he wanted to hear, it felt like he did not die and deserved so much, he was having the audacity to glare at me like that as if he wanted to punch me right across the face. I wish that I did not forget my pepper spray today maybe I'll have become much friendlier than I had intended to be with him but when I look back on how I treated him all this time that I don'
