Calista's pov My husband looked over to me and I could see the worry that completely painted his face which was normal. I Bella has sunk so low that she was using the poor child as a means of leverage against him and I couldn't imagine separating him and his son away from each other because the few times better was not spending away from my children is already tearing me apart so I gave him my support with my eyes to make any decision that I thought was best with for his baby. So he held up his hand and called Bella."Fine, you can stay…" I don't see the smile that is about to erupt on her face or something that our entire bone structure would have been able to handle. How wild it was already at the start but my husband was immediately able to quell it when he said in addition to his other words. "But I am not going to be having anything to do with you even if you're under the same roof with me I hope you can handle that," He said to her, "... To me there will be no difference b
Calista pov I woke up with a very painful stomach ache one morning and my husband almost felt like not even going to work at all and decided he was going to sit back and take care of me however there is a very big project at the company at that time and I was worried about it I decided that I will be able to take care of myself and they were maids everywhere if I needed anything as well. Another reason that I did not tell him about was actually his family but I had an inkling that he had already sensed it as well. If he had stayed back because I had a painful stomach ache then they would immediately blow a gasket over it saying as I was being overdramatic and that I couldn't even consider the company and my husband but I was only thinking about myself in a dire situation. I knew that he was the Alpha King and he had duties to attend to and it wasn't as if it was a life-threatening disease it was just a rather uncomfortable stomach ache that would eventually go away after a few dr
Calista's pov As I was utilizing my palm to rub my stomach and come down from the pain that was there I began to realize that Bella had actually never told me when she was leaving before and she had even added the fact that her child was at home as if I had asked her for that detail. Normally she didn't tell me where she went or how she went there or when she was coming back she didn't even tell my husband at all she would just bounce out of the house. She had a habit of returning at the most ungodly hours and more often than not she was usually drunk and even though we were behind the doors of our bedroom you would know about this because she will be banging against any possible surface that will give her the noise that she desired to disturb us in our sleep it was like her way of retaliating against me for sharing the bed with my husband and pushing her aside. We eventually had to secretly get a soundproof door so she could practically use her body to hit every piece of furnitur
Calista's POVI was just staring at them without her astonishment in my eyes because I couldn't believe what I was looking at right now. It was like a dream to me. I have not done anything to the child that will make him start to convulse like that and all of a sudden this was happening. I tried to explain myself to them to tell them that I had nothing to do with it but my mother-in-law did not even bother to look at me she had concluded in her mind that I was responsible and what was even worse than that she told me that she was going to tell my husband that I was the one that had done that.My heart immediately sinks down to my stomach as I pleaded with her holding her by her arm as Bella was taking her child away to the hospital telling her that she shouldn't tell my husband that lie, I was innocent and the next thing she did was to turn back to and she slapped me across my face so tightly that it was hard for me to breathe when I fell to the floor and then I thought to prove that
Grey's pov I was just coming out of a meeting with my board of directors when I was informed by my secretary that somebody had been trying to reach me I told him that he would have to wait because today I was really tripped up with a lot of work and then he told me that it was my wife I was surprised because usually she never called me during work hours unless there was an emergency that she wanted to share with me also I told them to immediately call her back. As I was in my office I was on the call with her and she answered it immediately as she reached it and then I have started was anything wrong which is why she had called me before and the only thing I got a responsible silent for some time before I asked her again and then it was as if she had been jolted out of a deep sleep and she told me that there was something that she needed to tell me. I told her she could tell me anything that she needed to and I would help her in any way that I could at the moment but now admitted
Calista's povThere was something that was different about my husband's voice when he finally called me and it made me trouble of course because he usually did not speak to me in such a manner his voice sounded cold and distant as if even though we were over the phone he was somewhere else totally distracted and not involved in the conversation and I could not really really expression that was there it seems so empty it was not the same worried voice that he had before instead he now sounds so strange that it had to make my skin feel as if it was about to pull off from the rest of my body but I made sure to respond in a equally calm manner. It felt as if it was two strangers that were over the phone discussing with each other on a professional matter instead of a husband and a wife they were discussing over something that was troubling her I had not gone into details of what had happened in the house because I did not want to say this kind of serious issue over the phone so he could
Callista's pov "Grey I know that you know I'm not that kind of person able to never hurt your son or do anything to put him in pain you need to, believe me, please believe me I'm begging you to believe me…." I said as he stood up looking at him with my whole attention and hoping that he would look into my own eyes and know that I was not the kind of person doesn't do that kind of thing and then he looked at me and told me that he was very disappointed in me that he didn't know that I was changing like this he said that the woman that he had known several years ago would have not done this kind of thing and that over the past five years I'd turned into a monster that was so desperate to get what she wanted that she was ready to go this far. He said that he knew that Bella and my mother-in-law and in fact the two families were always torturing me but he never imagined that I would turn all of that hit into a child at least I would have reacted by telling the family is what I really t
Grey's pov My heart was ripping apart as I saw the guard throwing her into the storage room and for a split second I considered bringing her out I wanted to believe her but everything that was tangible as evidence was all against her and truly maybe I did not know the person that was before me now maybe I did know her 5 years ago but now she could have changed into another kind of person that was capable of doing this kind of thing is so, therefore, I had to think about the safety of my child and so far that she had to be tried for the crime that she had committed.It broke my heart into a million pieces to think about this because despite everything that had happened my hatred was mostly brought for the fact that I had had so much affection for her and then she have twisted it into something else that I could not even understand something that comes with me from every inch of my body and make me feel as if I was going to explode right like a gunpowder as I return back to the living
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
