Chapter 39
Go back to BOSTON!?
I followed him by hailing a cab without any hesitation. I knew for a fact that he was leaving again to that place where he always disappeared for the past two days but this time I was clever enough to follow him. Like every typical angry wife who was mad at her obnoxious husband, I instructed the cab driver to tail Callum’s cab but he refused to, which infuriates me.
“Why the hell would you say no? Please follow that damn cab!Mate!” My anger is at bay with the way the bald head old man was shutting down my request.
“I ain't your mate
Epilogue Two years later, “Callum, Tyler needs to be fed!” Tessa screamed with her monstrous voice. I let go of Sharon's hair and tied the rubber at the end of the braid. “Daddy, Tyler's walking towards us,” she said pointing her fingers towards my one year old son. True to her words, I looked over and saw the little beast walking towards us,sucking his thumb, his shirt wet from his drool. “Da-da hmp- hmmm-paaa” he laughed,Sharon ran towards him and pecked his cheeks. “Mommy, bye-” she tucked her backpack and walked out of the door before I could ask her to kiss me. My daughter hardly stays at home because she is always playing with her best friend who just moved down a year ago. “Now, Mommy did ask me to feed you” I coo the younger Anderson who just continued sucking his thumb. I checked the milk and fed him,
Chapter 1 Tessa POV “I now pronounce you husband and wife” sounds of applause resonated in the whole church, eyes boring towards us, sounds of laughter and happiness entering my ears but all I could do is stare at my husband who couldn't give a fuck about me. His stormy gray eyes stare in my green one without blinking. I couldn't trace any warmth nor love, cue the 'love' part because it is futile to consider about it in this 'lifetime' I am so lucky.. He leans in slowly and I had to brace myself for the kiss. Callum cupped my face and grazed his lips in the corner of my mouth. He let it linger there for thirty seconds and pulled away, showing me the cold and hard look that is etched on his face permanently. I couldn't looked away from his gorgeous gray orbs that look like a predator who is always on chase for its prey, part of me was happ
Chapter 2I groan and try to open my eyes only to be blinded by the light shining through the curtains, glass and empty bottles are discarded on the floor. I Iet out a bitter laugh recalling why my head feels like a truck just ran over it. I blame it on that asshole husband of mine whom I’m madly, strangely, oddly in love with.Good Riddance,TessaMy phone lies on the nightstand which I don't bother to switch it on,my head couldn't wrap around with the fact that I’m married. ….. marriage…wedding....With Callum!!!Should I be thankful I finally got married to the love of my life?I don't feel blessed enough. He left me….I’m still processing in my head with the fact that he left me!“Morning,Mrs Anderson” a petite woman greeted me when I walked down from my ro
Chapter 3 “Lily, Do I look beautiful?” I asked Lily, who is busy flipping pancakes in the kitchen. My one week honeymoon, more like house arrest, ended today and I was overly active. I can't believe I am going back to work! Lily looked up and assessed my dress from head to toe and nodded her head in appreciation. “Mr Anderson will definitely be pleased,” She says with an easy smile. “I hope” I mutter under my breath. It's been seven days since I last saw him.I couldn't go on without seeing him. I have been used to his presence since I was young. “Have breakfast before you go” I shook my head at her, my plan was to eat breakfast with my husband on our first day as husband and wife in the office, not as his PA and my boss. “I'll eat with Callum” I gave her an excited smile which she replied with an eager grin. “Enjoy you
Chapter 4 “Honey!” Aiden grins widely and pecks my lips, my eyes widen in horror at the unexpected kiss. “Oh my God! Your husband is Aiden Stewart!!???” Belvina practically screams in alarm. Twenty minutes ago, I called Aiden hoping he could pretend to be my husband and luckily, he agreed…. without any hesitancy which only proves he's indeed the best human being. “Keep your voice down” I whispered-shouted at her. “I am sorry, it's just so surprising. I mean you are amazing but he's a freaking billionaire!!” She literally screams in my ears which I know for a fact that Aiden hears it. “It's an honour to meet my wife's colleague” he says politely and extends his hand for a shake. Aiden his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead. I was glad he agreed to pretend to be my husband but he's showing too much affection wh
Chapter 5 The sweet scented candle, the mouth-watering steak, the expensive wine beside the appetizers are all set for the dinner. Ever since I came back home, I've been anticipating dinner, preparing all the food and arranging it all by myself. Lily intended to help me but I was beyond excited at the thought of dining with my husband for the first time after our marriage. Truth is, I wanted to enjoy my one year of marriage in every possible way, it wasn't my intention to sign the contract paper if not for Callum forcing me to. I shook my head off from my thought, I don't need unnecessary sadness when I am about to dine with my husband. With a newfound energy, I waited for Callum to come home while playing with my phone. One year later, The food turned cold and hard, I finished the bottle of wine and I could hardly see things without seeing it for two. The sight of his empty chair on
Chapter 6 I remember when I was younger, my grades were horrible and my teacher would read the nonsense I had written on the sheet, just to embarrass me(he went to jail shortly for harassment) which I later distributed chocolate to my classmate to share my happiness with. If you ask me why he went to jail, it was because he harassed the owner of the convenience store beside his house. My paradise lasted only for some months until he was released shortly because the owner of the convenience store was found guilty and my teacher (the same one who read my answers out was being framed). He came back to school shortly after his release and is thrice times bolder and doubles times intolerable. My chocolate was wasted and I lost a hundred dollars. I felt the same sadness ten years later when my husband walked into my house (his house) with a woman linking their arms together. The reason why I haven't opened my
Chapter 7 “Callum!?” I gasped out, surprise. “Are you hurt!? Where's the Police?” Huh? “Excuse me for interrupting. Are you her brother?” atlas! The devil Talked! Callum on hearing the owner narrowed his eye at his direction which he responded by Squirming. I know my buddy, his glare stings. “Anyway, since you came,Please take her back. And don't ever let her walk alone in this neighborhood,with a Scotch! It is not safe for a girl to walk around the place with no protection” I blinked twice, thrice… So, that's the reason why he doesn't let me go. I feel a Little better knowing he's not perhaps a lonely man with only his cottage and Cigarettes. Callum surprisingly mumbled a 'thank you' and turned towards me, the small trace of worries disappearing, Be

Chapter 38 Three fucking weeks, that's how long I was waiting for Callum to call me,text me, or to come back so that I could demand a legit explanation with his stupidity. Aunt Cassidy and I continued our afternoon baking, it was like our own small world with Sharon. However, Callum never texted me but called his mom to inform him about his well-being but NOT ME! His wife. When it turned into a month, I was not having any of it. I booked the ticket for London and packed the luggage the night before my departure. Luckily, Alex told me the whereabouts of my husband which triggered me to carry out my lame decision. Aunt Cassidy doesn't have any idea about my supposed trip to London and I was hoping it would be that way. Six hours later, I walked into the huge hotel, and talked with the beautiful receptionist. I had a hard time un
Chapter 37 Callum Pov I ran after her feeling extremely lost and fear creeped up my soul. There was no way she could have known but then again Why would she run away. None of this makes sense, the visit, the interrogation and lastly Tess running away from me. By the time I reached the elevator, she was gone but I couldn't let her walk away. No now, not ever. I took the staircase running like a madman, my breath came out in gasp,another reminder that I was losing my shape. I knew calling her was unnecessary but that doesn't stop me from calling her number. As expected, it was turned off. Feeling defeated, I hopped in my car and entered the GPS, I knew there was one place she would go if she was trying to avoid me. God! I hope I am right this time. When I reached her childhood hom
Chapter 36 There were no other words to explain as I skimmed over the page for the tenth time. And each time I was hoping whatever I was seeing is none other than my nightmare rather than a reality but it was still there when I opened my eyes. And it shattered my hope and expectations. Is Callum capable of doing such things? My heart aches at the possibility of Callum doing such a horrible thing. I remembered him telling me about his anger issues and the things he did to his friend….. I shook my head out of my thoughts. There's no way he can do this … right? I stayed at home today,making up an excuse to clean the house instead of visiting Aunt Cass. As much as I enjoyed spending time with her, I can't comprehend the situation. I need answers and I am going to find one. I walked up to his office where he spent most of his days a
Chapter 35 Four days after the marriage, I strolled down the city and hailed a cab, and asked the Uber driver to take me to North Street. My hands are sweaty, I was a nervous rack with an incredible amount of sweet and Vitamin in my system. After the wedding night of my two best friends, I was house arrested for two days by my own husband. The reason : I was pregnant. I was still in my dream. The word pregnant didn't cross my mind until the bittersweet night. The bitter part was when I had to endure the excruciating pain and the sweet part was the news the doctor dropped on us. As my wombs weren't as fertile as Cass and my body had some complications I was discharged after making sure I would be okay. Callum cried like a baby and he went on a full speech on how I made him the happiest man in the world which is ironic since He made me happy and complete me like no one else does.
Chapter 34I flung myself towards Calum when he opened the door, he chuckled at me and buried his face in my hair. I missed him so much that it hurt. His scent of citrus and manly scent eases me, I inhaled his scent earning a deep chuckled from my husband. “I missed you Cal,”“Miss you more, babe”We made dinner together, Callum would always find an excuse to touch me and I found myself loving the attention. He's gone for only three freaking days and I am acting like a starved animal, hungered for his touch and attention. Stupid hormones.“I am so excited for the next few days,Callum. Do you think Aiden will bawl his heart out!?” I laughed and imagined my two best friends walking down the aisle, Kissing and saying their vows. They are damn too romantic and cute.“I am more excited for tonight,” he wiggles his eyebrows, I s
Chapter 33 “You look beautiful Honey, I am so proud of you,” Cassandra’s mom wiped her tears with her hankies and watched as Cassandra tried on her wedding dress. I got choked up with my emotions while Cassandra rolled her eyes when she saw her mother and me. “Guys, stop crying, I am not marrying an Alien,” Cassandra is four months pregnant now and most of the time, I restrain myself from throttling her neck. She's the most annoying preggy woman I had ever encountered, and poor Aiden was the one who suffered the most since he was the one who put the baby in that demon. “Honey, I can't believe you'll be a mom soon” Cassandra’s mom kept fanning her eyes in order to dry her tears. She looked ridiculous but a mom is emotionally caring and attentive most of the time. “I am so excited,mom. But-” Cassandra hesitated, “Do you think I'll be okay? I am not exactly
Chapter 32 The skies are coloured with blue and white with thick clouds gathering together forming a huge cloud and boom, the sun disappears and the rain starts pattering on the ground. I was watching the whole thing, like it had something to do with me. I was proud of myself for accomplishing the task of cloud watching,not sure, if the other thinks that too. Cassandra,Aiden,Callum and I were to head down the bar tonight, it was supposed to be a celebration for Cassandra’s pregnancy. Although I was excited for her, I can't deny the ugly feeling of longing. I was only twenty four and why the hell was I so eager to have a baby? Life can be such a bitch sometimes especially when I was in my period instead of being pregnant with my first baby. For tonight, I chose my maroon tight dress with lace covering my back, and a bra wasn't needed. I paired it with my highest pair of stiletto heels that Callum bo
