“What am I doing? Well, I’m just kissing my fiancée on the cheek, that’s all,” Christian replied innocently. “Why? Do you want it to be somewhere else? For example…” Slyly, he reached out and touched her lower lip with the pad of his thumb, causing her to stare at him incredulously. “…right here?”At this point, Camille had had enough.Glowering, she broke free of his grasp and took a few steps back until her back was pressed against the stove.The obvious disgust on her face would have been offensive if it weren’t for the fact that he had wanted to see it with his own eyes.The sight of her face turning red with rage was mesmerizing to Christian. He wanted to do more. He wanted to break her completely until she was putty in his hands.He stared back at her with a smile, not at all disturbed by her silent rage. After all, it was hard to be intimidated by a feisty kitten like that.“Mr. Callahan, please don’t do that again,” she said quietly. It seemed to take every inch of her remaini

“I… I did,” Camille answered him in a hesitant tone. She seemed reluctant to answer, but she had no choice in the matter. “I told him in person that we’re engaged and that it’s not… forced or anything like that. That we both have mutual feelings for each other.”Christian nodded, satisfied. “That’s true in a way, don’t you think?”Annoyance flashed in Camille’s eyes before she continued, “Besides, we just talked about our past afterwards, that’s all. We started catching up—”“Did you find out anything interesting? Something we can use against him?”She pursed her lips in displeasure at his choice of words.There was no ‘we’ in this! It was he and only he who wanted to bring Michael down for whatever stupid reason he had. Camille had no part in this!However, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut for the safety of her loved ones and herself.As long as she was careful about the details she told this man, everything would be fine. It would go according to her own plan.With him c

Camille flinched reflexively, not knowing what to expect.She was always wary whenever he did something unexpected, like touching her out of the blue when he usually never did, especially when they were at the company. Besides, Christian Callahan wasn’t exactly the touchy-feely type.But today, he seemed to be possessed by something, and that made her feel even more wary. She could no longer predict what he might do next, and that was a little scary.“What’s with that reaction?” Christian burst into a chuckle. “You’re acting like I’m about to murder you or something.”She stepped aside and went to the fridge. She had already taken all the ingredients that she needed, but she just wanted a reason to get away from him. “I already told you what I know. Please leave me alone. I’m hungry,” she said.“Then we should eat together,” he suggested. “I’m rather famished myself.”“No,” she said automatically. “I’d rather eat my meal alone, thank you.”“What a cold woman you are,” he remarked ligh

Christian’s smile faltered slightly.“So, you mean to say that only Michael McGregor will have your heart?” he said. “No one else?”“Who even said that I’m in love with him? He’s just my friend and nothing more,” Camille said flatly. “I love him, yes, but not romantically. He’s a precious person to me.”Christian suddenly let out a hollow laugh.She looked at him warily. “What’s so funny?”He shook his head and let go of her chin. “Nothing. I just find it amusing, the way you keep lying even to yourself.”That ruffled her feathers a bit. “What the hell are you talking about?”He raised an eyebrow. “Are you telling me that everything he did for you didn’t touch your heart even a little? That when the two of you reunited after so many years, your heart never skipped a beat? That you never once thought of him as an attractive man?” He laughed again. “You may fool yourself, Miss Parker, but not me.”Camille shook her head, feeling her heart pounding in her chest. “You’re wrong,” she said,

Camille’s mind began to wander to thoughts that she had refused to think too deeply about out of guilt.What had she ever done for Michael, anyway? She was like a virus in his life. It would only do him good to stay away from her.But she was a selfish woman. She wanted him close to her.She wanted him by her side, but she already had a man “in her heart”… which was actually a lie.Camille felt her heart twist at the thought. If Michael found out eventually, he would be crushed. He might never trust her again.And rightfully so, because she didn’t deserve any sympathy from him. Although she had gotten into this situation in the first place for the safety of her family, there might have been other ways to ensure that without getting involved in Christian’s little schemes.Christian’s world was different from hers. So was Michael’s.She had once lived in luxury and contentment, so she knew what it felt like to be in such an environment, but the Callahans and the McGregors were so high o

“Of course. Personally, I don’t see the point of keeping something like this hidden. After all, it only shows one’s sincerity. It’s not easy to be so devoted to someone for fourteen whole years, you know?” Grady sighed fondly. “Ah, to be young again.”Camille chuckled awkwardly. “Michael — I mean, Mr. McGregor just regards me as a close friend and nothing more. But I am indeed grateful that he still considers me as one of his… confidants.”For some reason, the words just felt wrong after she said them out loud.Camille felt a mixture of complicated emotions swirling in her stomach, and she was too afraid to decipher what they might be. That would only open up a can of worms that she certainly wasn’t ready for.“Hmm… well. As someone who is much older than you two, I can only give you a piece of advice.” Grady’s expression softened. “You should spend more time and treasure those who are precious to you while they’re still here. While you still have the opportunity to do so.”Camille tu

Camille remembered doing an extensive background check on Grady some time ago, but she only knew that he had a wife and a son. There was no mention of a daughter.His elderly mother was still alive, but was prone to illness and spent most of her time away from the city, in the country where her other son lived nearby and took care of her. His father, on the other hand, died of cancer a few years ago.So either Grady lied to her for some reason, or he really did have a daughter.But that would mean…Camille closed her eyes.‘Did she run away from home, too?’ she couldn’t help but wonder.‘Did she get disowned by her family?’‘Or did Grady do something to erase her existence from the records?’‘What in the world is going on?’She had no clue. Right now, she was too tired to think clearly. Since she hardly saw or talked to Michael these days and only worked with Grady, she only had new information about Grady to include in the report.“Damn it,” she cursed under her breath.It was so fru

Camille felt the hot sting of tears in her eyes.“What… What can we do, then?” she asked distressedly. “We can’t just give up now! There has to be another way. Isn’t there another doctor who can help? One with a higher success rate than normal except for Colmen?”“I’m afraid not, meine Schwester. Dr. Colmen is the best there is. If we use other doctors, Papa… he might not last long. Other doctors haven’t reached the level of breakthrough that Dr. Colmen has.” Paul let out another sigh. “As much as I hate to admit it, a lot of patients have recovered fully under Dr. Colmen’s treatment. He’s the best we’ve got. But we’ll keep trying other solutions, I can promise you that.”Camille silently wiped away a stray tear that fell down her cheek.The news was shocking, but it made her feel a little better to know that her brothers were there for her father.Well… her adoptive father, to be exact. Though she still didn’t know if she deserved to call him that anymore.“Don’t say that,” Ben had s

At first, Christian hadn’t planned to kiss her.He wasn’t an impulsive man, but in this particular situation, he found that the urge to do something reckless was quite strong.Not exactly a reckless move, per se, but one that came along with his irritation.It was just that, as he watched Camille’s expression and heard the subtle change in tone in her voice when it came to Michael, Christian felt a growing urgency inside of him that he couldn’t bear to ignore.He could feel it, that her heart was drifting towards another man, that her feelings were growing until they became a big part of her.He felt that time was running out and that if he didn’t act now, she might belong to him physically, but not emotionally.And he would never be able to make her heart waver in the slightest.And oddly enough, despite his pride in the fact that he was not the kind of man who would be carried away by his emotions, the thought of Camille never being able to be completely his unsettled him greatly.S

Camille gritted her teeth. “Isn’t that a given?! No woman in the world would be able to put up with a snake like you!” she snapped.“Oh, but you’re still with me now even after all these years, aren’t you, Hailey?” he taunted.She bit her lower lip, trying to restrain her rage from overflowing like a dam. “I told you to stop calling me that!”She could never understand why he seemed to take such pleasure in calling her by her former name. He knew how painful it was for her to remember those memories, as well as the regret that lingered inside of her from her impulsive decision to leave the family that loved her.Yet he continued to torment and mock her at every opportunity that he had.Ignoring her words, Christian stepped forward and pinned her against the wall, his expression frosty and intimidating.She flinched slightly, but made sure not to show any fear or discomfort on her face.“But you’re okay with Michael McGregor calling you by that name,” he remarked icily.“Of course,” sh

Camille’s breathing quickened slightly, and she could feel her blood slowly turning to ice.To be honest, she already had an inkling in her mind, but she pushed it away, refusing to even acknowledge the possibility.She did not want to believe or accept that it was Christian who had made the effort to get her father on Dr. Colmen’s priority list.If she did, he would think that she owed him for it, and he would definitely hold it over her head for a long time.Camille felt a knot of anxiety tighten in her stomach. It was getting harder and harder to maintain her calm facade.“Hmm… you don’t look so good,” Christian remarked, drinking in her silent reaction. “If it were anyone else but you, I would be offended, but this kind of reaction is within my expectations. Believe it or not, Miss Parker, but I think I’ve grown fond of you.”She scowled at him, but her dark gaze must have been weak, because he only looked more amused.“I’m still waiting for your expression of gratitude, Miss Park

Camille felt the blood drain from her face, and her palms felt cold and clammy all of a sudden. For a brief moment, she felt lightheaded, as if the room was spinning and she was struggling to keep her balance.With Christian still being this close and still cupping her face, she couldn’t even move much.However, that wasn’t her problem right now.Right now, her mind was racing, analyzing his words in the span of a few seconds in her head.“…Excuse me?” she said in a hardened voice.What did he just say?‘He hasn’t yet died from his illness’?The… The nerve…!‘Calm down,’ she told herself. ‘Let’s think about this for a bit more.’For starters, how did he know about this?She had never mentioned her father’s condition to him before. No way in hell was she going to bring that up with him, of all people.Plus, the only times when they talked about her adoptive family was whenever he wanted to threaten her and blackmail her over their safety.Christian’s smile didn’t fade even as he slowly

‘Teach me a lesson?’ His words echoed in Camille’s head, and her irritation flared. ‘Who the hell does he think he is?’But despite her anger, she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.There was something different about his words this time.Was he planning something?When she didn’t answer, Christian’s tone became dangerous. “I think I need to keep you locked as tight as possible in this little birdcage that you’re trapped in,” he said in a low voice. “Perhaps I have left the gate a little loose for a while.”His words made no sense. “Stop calling me a caged bird, you psycho,” she snapped. “You may have successfully entangled me in your life for your own selfish benefit, but I’m free to say and do whatever I want, especially if it’s in response to injustice. Who are you to punish me and teach me a lesson? I have done nothing wrong to you!”That last part was said on impulse, out of the anger and defensiveness in her heart, and it increased her hesitation even as the words left her
The Miracle of You Chapter 112
It was one of those moments when Camille was glad for Christian’s cold, authoritative nature, because at least with the strict rules he enforced, she didn’t feel too stressed about working at the company, and no one would dare bother her or make her feel alienated.Then again, she never really had any friends here, even though she desperately wanted to. Everyone here seemed to have at least one friend they could count on, while she had none.Michael didn’t count because one, he was the CEO of his own company, which was a competitor of Christian’s, and two, she wasn’t motivated enough to rely on him and get closer to him for obvious reasons, since Christian would only take advantage of it.Due to the busy season, she even forgot that she needed to gather more information about Michael and learn more about his other connections so that she could report back to Christian. The industry gala was going to be held next month anyway, and Christian had made sure to give her the opportunity.Ca

Camille could detect a hint of teasing in his newest message. Knowing that Grady talked about her that way made her heart swell, too.It was always nice to get compliments on her hard work. She was always diligent and did her best at everything, so when someone acknowledged that and did not take her for granted, it made her feel appreciated.Christian rarely did that. Whenever he did, it was just a perfunctory compliment, nothing of substance. It meant more coming from Grady because he was experienced and capable in his own right. He was also known to be quick and resourceful in his work.No wonder Christian either wanted him gone or wanted him to work for him. The latter would not be a good decision however, because there was a good chance that Grady would betray him.If there was one word that best described Grady, it was “loyal”. He was very loyal to the McGregor family and had worked faithfully under them for several years.Needless to say, for him to work for another family would

Christian Callahan shook his head as he looked at her sorry state. This was why he always thought that emotions were a waste. They simply brought you down and distracted you from your goals.‘Such a waste of time,’ he thought.But he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders with a gentleness that was unlike him.The air conditioning was on, and it was raining heavily outside. If she caught a cold or got sick from overwork, she would be useless at her job, and he couldn’t let that happen.He reached out and brushed his fingers lightly across her skin. She was indeed cold to the touch.When he looked at her face again, she looked even more tired than before. He could also tell that she had been crying earlier.‘Indeed, what a waste of emotions.’He sighed internally.She was going to hate him for this, but he had to do it. It was getting more and more annoying to have to deal with her constant irritation towards him, but he supposed that he couldn’t blame her.With all t
The Miracle of You Chapter 109
Camille snatched her wrist away from his grasp and stormed into the elevator, not even waiting for him to enter.Christian watched blankly as the doors closed, and then she was out of his sight.The sound of the dinging elevator rang in his ears for a few seconds until he realized that he was just standing there like a fool.When he returned to their home later on, Camille had already locked herself inside her bedroom and refused to come out, not even to eat dinner. Even Harrietta tried to deliver a tray to her room, but Camille did not even acknowledge her or open the door.Christian went to his room and thought about what had happened. Of course, there had been times before when her patience had finally reached its limit and she had lashed out at him. Things like that weren’t new to him.Usually, he would correct her behavior and either threaten her not to do it again or tease her and make her even angrier.But this time, it seemed different. That pained look in her eyes kept naggin
