“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 while Belvina doesn't seem to care. She's awed at us.
“No wonder she looks so happy today,Are you perhaps her longtime crush who is older than her and extremely hot one!” I blush red at her words, I remember telling her about Callum and how I have loved him for almost my whole life. Aiden body tense beside me which makes me wonder why?
“Are you okay?I am sorry for dragging you to this” I look up at him apologetically. Aiden glanced down at me and darted his eyes at the back. His eyes darken and without giving me a chance to react, he dipped his head down and caught my lips. I gasped in between the kiss but he swallowed my gasp and kissed me deeply, it almost felt real.
He pulled away seconds later and traced my lips with his thumb.
“You are so beautiful!” he says, giving me his dimpled smile. Belvina across us stops breathing and I swear her eyes are brimming with tears.
“God! That was so cute!” She fanned her face with her hand.
“Sorry about that, I was distracted” Aiden says not sounding like he doesn't mean it.
Meanwhile I was too shocked to comprehend a word, “Don't look too shocked, we don't want your friend finding out the truth” he says lowly enough for only me to hear.
The rest of the Lunch, Belvina gushes about the two of us and even threatens to kick Aiden if he were to cheat on me. Somewhere, I tuned out our conversation with my mind far away from our conversation.
“Tessa, Boss asked you to meet him in his office” Belvina snapped her fingers in front of my face.
I gasped and realised he indeed asked for my presence,Aiden beside me let out a laugh which wasn't amusing.
“Isn't she so cute?” he asked Belivina.
I swear she'd faint from the amount of swooning in the span of the last twenty minutes.
“You are seriously the best husband”
Not that I know of!
“Aiden, I have to go now, I won't walk you out” he tugged my hand and puckered his lips out like a fish.
“Huh!?”
“Where is my goodbye kiss?”
He's taking this faking thing way too far.
I lean in and peck his lips in haste, without another delay, I bolted out of the cafe like lightning and ran up the stairs with my four-inch heel because the elevator is packed and I am not exactly God's favourite person, I tend to get unlucky every damn time.
My breath came out in a shallow gasp, I grasped the railing and composed myself hoping my heart would stop beating erratically. I have never done something remotely physical and the marathon just now proves I badly need exercise. I couldn't see my vision clearly for some short seconds which is a complete disappointment.
Composing myself I smooth down the crease on my shirt and smooth my hair, I knock twice,thrice but there was no response. I got a little worried due to the fact that he never responds,although Callum is a ruthless boss he never fails to reply when there is a knock, whether an insult or anything that spurt out of his mouth.
“Mr Anderson?”
Slightly worried, I flung the door open, and before I could react, my body was squeezed between a wall and his warm body. My eyes widen when his lips start attacking my neck almost at the point of leaving a mark. My heart couldn't comprehend the fact that Callum is the one who is kissing me, a soft moan threatens to break out but I bite my lip to stop it.
“Callum” I gasped out. He doesn't stop kissing my neck and my collarbone, completely disregarding my plea. Whatever trance he is in, I knew for a fact that he wasn't sane enough to recognise me.
With every strength I could muster up, I put my palms on his hard chest feeling the hard muscles underneath his thin fabric, I pushed him with my might, Callum staggered a little and stared at me with hooded eyes. His gray one turned dark from the amount of loathing as he stared deep through my soul,my heart sanked and my stomach dropped to the floor.
“Callu-”
“Get out!” he pointed his fingers towards the door.For a brief moment,his eyes darted towards the door and my face. I see it soften when he sees the tears brimming in my eye but the anger and disgust in his eyes returns a second later.
And just like that, Everything returned to normal and the bubble popped.
“Can you come back home? I heard you are sleeping in your office” I dare to say completely disregarding the hate and anger.
“It is none of your business, I'll come whenever I want to!” he spat harshly. I lifted my hand up and traced the skin he had just sucked, his eyes followed my action but his face remained emotionless and hard.
“If I’m the reason why you are staying here, I will move out tonight” I say and try to walk away only to be stopped by his voice.
“Don’t move out,We don't want the maid to start stirring up a rumour” With that he went back to his seat and continued with whatever he was working on before I came in.
“Tess” my hand froze on the threshold, hearing my name on his lips do a lot to my fragile heart. I hated it.
“Wait up for dinner tonight” I nodded my head without turning his way, I don't trust myself to speak. I hate that he had this effect on me but dinner?
I love it.

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 8 Vampire……. There are no other words to describe his neck sucking fetish which I definitely and Absolutely don't mind. Callum makes sure he places small kisses on my collarbone, the skin behind my ears, but not my freaking lips! Lips that humans use while talking, eating, smiling, kissing…….Lying, Tongue dancing? “Callum?” I pretend to push him away while he is busy attacking my neck. Stop sucking my neck you leech…. That's what I wanted to say, he doesn't get to leave me all hot and flustered and later ignore my existence completely. Kiss my lips,Asshole “Why do you fucking get on my nerves?” he groans in my neck. My body tense hearing his throaty voice,I get on his nerves? My lips tugged up although I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing.

Chapter 9 I begged Callum to let me go because I was seconds away from puking my gut out but he didn't stop walking, he walked up the stairs with my body slumped over his shoulder. Maybe I was drunk but his butt was on my face. I did not dare give up my chance to feel his hard muscles, so without asking for his permission I touched his butt feeling it under my palm. Hard and Complete muscles, just how I expected. Callum froze on the stairs and spank my butt mumbling something under his breath. When he reached my bedroom, he don't bother going in,instead walk towards his bedroom(not that I mind) He put me on his bed more like throw me,I glared up at him to which he only smirked. “Why am I here?” I asked him. “Just shut up and go to bed” I try to get up from his b

Chapter 10I will never love youHis words kept repeating in my head. I’m back at my favourite convenience store, this time I manage to buy myself a drink without needing to show my ID.The owner doesn't ask me anything, not that I would reply.I can finally understand why Callum never spared me a glance. He has someone like Celine all this time and I was the reason why they broke up. His marriage tore them apart!I gulped a huge amount of the bitter thing, Tessa White is the most pathetic human.I can see why my mother was always the one who did things for me, She knew my worth.She knew I can't do things alone, part of me knew why she forced this marriage on me, as usual she's helping me.I wish She hadn't.Celine's heartbroken face, Callum’s glare.

Chapter 11 Callum laughs bitterly and gulps down a large amount of his drink. He wiped his tears that escaped his eye. Fuck him!!! “Of course, You'll eventually leave” he says in between his laugh. I watched him confused and waited for him to be sane again. Is he drunk? Drunk Callum is scary, his laugh is forced and I want to bonk his head. “We won't get divorced,You sign it remember. Think about the consequences,Do you think you can just cancel the agreement,that's not right!” I slumped down in my seat, I knew he was right. We signed an agreement, I was aware of it but it doesn't hurt to try. I started pouring drink after drink, Callum across me slurs a little whenever he talks. We sat at the dining table talking about most of the t

Chapter 12 The nights are strangely chilly and eerie. I’m lonely and sad. I regretted waking up today in Callum’s arms, maybe I wasn't meant to be happy.If I was,Celine won't be working with us. It is not fair on my part to judge her without meeting her but Can anyone blame me? She has the one thing I only want! God, I sound like a sore loser. The night air is mocking at me by blowing my skirt left and right not having any ounce of sympathy for this loser woman. I hated everything so much. With the sudden motivation to visit my new favourite person, I headed to his place. I saw his gloomy jerkface through the glass.As I don't have any friends in this neighborhood, I plan to befriend my favourite person although there are higher chances he might possibly chase me away the moment he sees me.

The CEO who breaks me Epilogue
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 39Go 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

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
The CEO who breaks me 36 Ugly side
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
The CEO who breaks me 35 New family
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
