CHAPTER 20

The next day I didn’t go to work to pack Callum’s clothes even though she didn’t want to move me, she didn’t do anything.“Baby, it’s just three days, you’re packing too much clothes.” He stopped me when he saw that I was putting a lot in his suitcase.“You need it so that when you sweat, you can get dressed. When you have to meet with your clients. Or when you’re just at the hotel or going to sleep. So I should pack enough clothes for you. Even if you’re only there for three days.”I was like his mother packing her son to join the boyscout camping. I even packed six different suits for him! The shoes were also placed in a container, there were only three and slippers that he needed for sure.“I really want you to be with me there,” he said stopping me from what I am doing.I looked at him and frowned.“I’m sorry, I still have works here. Besides, you won’t go there for vacation. You will work there so I understand.” I smiled at him before standing and walk towards him.He stared at m

CHAPTER 21

“What do you mean, Hailey?” he asked in confusion.I shook my head, “I’m just curious. I don’t . . . really know everything about him. I have feeling for him since then but I didn’t had the chance to know who he really is. And now, I’m just curious about him.” I looked away and frowned.“I really don’t know much about him. All I know is that before he could graduate from college, their parents died, I don’t really know what happened. He was devastated that he didn’t go to their graduation march. He’s friends with my twin, Justin. I’m not asking about him because I’m not interested either.” His jaw tightened and I just nodded.I feel like he’s hiding something that I don’t know.“As you can see, we’re not in a good term so you can’t get any information from me about him.”I nodded. Don’t know what to say.“I want to ask him, but . . . I’m afraid.” That he might lash out on me if I ask him questions.“Afraid of what?” he asked in a low tone.I smiled and shook my head, “nothing. Don’t mi

CHAPTER 22

That evening we spend a night under the brightness of the moon that illuminated the whole garden. It feels so surreal. This is the first time I feel so lighted with a man who made me a woman, a wife, and who really am I.Even after the heartache I felt from my parents, and sometimes with his words, I still feel so safe and comfortable in his arms.The next day I woke up feeling good. Callum and I left the house together and he drove me to the company.“Good morning, ma’am!” Christina greeted me when I got out of the elevator.I smiled, “good morning, Chris.”I entered the office followed by Chris who immediately reminded me of what I had to do today. I was so busy with what I was doing, even with my meetings that day that I forgot to eat lunch. If Christina hadn’t reminded me about lunch I wouldn’t have remembered not eating.“Ma’am, it’s already one o’clock and you haven’t eaten yet.” Christina said when she entered my office and brought food from the cafeteria.I stopped doing my sk

CHAPTER 23

I’ve been in a deep thoughts as I work in the company today. I’m often stunned that day. I don’t know where or who I’m worried about. What should I do?But thinking so critically made my head hurt a little. Thinking about it made me crazy. This is annoying! I don’t even know what to do or how to talk to Daddy. Now that Callum agreed with the merging, Daddy will have the access to get in Callum’s company and it makes me worry.I really should be worried.“Ma’am,” I turned to the door when I heard Chris’s voice.“Yes?”“Uh. . . Sir Callum is calling. He said you’re not answering his calls.” she said with a bit hesitation.“Oh, I’m sorry. I– I’m just preoccupied. Thank you, Chris.”She nodded before leaving my office. I took a deep breath before taking out my cellphone to check it. True enough, Callum’s calling me. And he has been calling me for since 2pm, and it’s almost 3pm! He has thirty missed calls that frowned me.After a while, my cell phone rang for his call again. I quickly answ

WARNING: GRAPHIC SEX SCENE ALERT! FOR 18 YEARS OLD AND ABOVE ONLY. SKIP THE PART OR READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.My senses got awake when I felt a gentle hand softly caressing my face. I winced. I felt someone’s eyes watching me, sitting beside me. I am at the guestroom, right?Feeling nervous, I opened my eyes. Because it was dark, my eyes adjusted to the darkness around me. And when my vision adjusted, I saw who’s caressing my face softly and looking at me with gentleness.Callum . . .If you look at him, you would not think that he is a cruel person. You would look at him in awe as if not knowing how cruel he is in everything — to anyone. Even towards me. You wouldn’t have thought about his real attitude and motive. I adore how good he is in hiding his real emotions. He’s a pro.“Callum . . . why are you here?” I asked in a hoarse voice.I slightly moved away from him and sat on the bed so that I could see him better because his hand was removed from my face. His hand slid down my chest

CHAPTER 25

I woke up the next morning, then I suddenly stretched my arms and I hit someone’s body because of that. I was facing the window and its white curtain when I opened my sleepy eyes. I was about to move when I felt the pain of my womanhood at the same time I felt an arm wrapped around my waist.And it drawn on me, Callum went to the guestroom last night, apologize to me, and we . . . made love last night. He was murmuring something I didn’t clearly heard because I fell asleep the moment I released.My cheeks heated profusely. We’re still here at the guestroom. I look at my back, at his peaceful feature while sleeping. I can’t imagine him because so soft and such a cute guy while sleeping beside me. He always has this rough and ruthless facade that’s why I always adore his soft feature every time I have a chance to.And then my father’s voice lingered my mind.“Seduce him. Romance him. Make him fall in love with you . . .”How can I do that? I’m done in seducing him, and romancing him, bu

CHAPTER 26

“He’s waiting in the living room,” said the maid while looking at me.I got nervous. Why is he here? Is he mad at me? Because we didn’t eat breakfast together and didn’t go to work together? Or maybe he’s angry because I insulted his ex-girlfriend?“What are you waiting for, Hailey? Your husband is in the living room!” Dad’s voice filled my ears that’s why I almost jumped on my seat.They’re now heading inside the house and I am just the only one whose sitting on my chair.“Y-Yes, Dad.”I immediately stood up and followed them, trembling and not knowing what to do. I saw my mom look at me and narrowed her eyes on me. I look away and pretended to be cool even if my mind is in haywire right now. Dad seemed too pleased to hear that Callum is here. Ate Kiana is just silent while walking inside.When I got all the way inside, I immediately saw the bulk of Callum’s body with his back to our side. When he notice we’re arriving, he looked our way and I saw how his jaw clenched when our eyes m

CHAPTER 27

I couldn’t lose the smile on my face while in the office because I still remember Faith’s expression earlier. My smile didn’t fade. He was furious that you thought Callum belonged to him.He’s mine. I won’t let you steal my man.“Ma’am, the meeting will start in five minutes.” Christina informed me.“Alright,” I said before standing up and following him to the conference room.I distracted myself by taking care of the project I was working on. I had almost consecutive meetings that day. So I suddenly felt dizzy. I didn’t pay attention to that because I was in the middle of the meeting.I ate right on time, so I don’t know why I feel dizzy. Or maybe from fatigue and stress? I’m doing so much that maybe my body is giving up. But I can’t rest yet. It’s necessary for what I’m doing right now so I can’t rest yet.“Ma’am, are you all right?” Chris asked when the meeting ended.I smiled at her, “yes, I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy because you know, we’ve done a lot and I still have a lot

CHAPTER 28

I was in a bad mood all day while at the office. I barely finished my lunch and I’m in a daze even though I have so much to do today.I am bothered, yes.Because I know who Faith is in Callum’s life. She once made him happy and complete. She once a part of his life and who knows if she still is. He loved her truly, while me? It is all just a pragmatic marriage. A relationship full of convenience. He just felt lust towards me and nothing much. Just that. And it hurts that from the very beginning, I’m a loser.They are all just using me.A few more days passed and I noticed that Callum was getting very busy. I don’t know what it’s for but I’m not asking either. He might be mad at me for being too nosy.I’m his wife yet I feel like I don’t have the right to ask more questions. I feel like there’s a miles of gap between us.“You look so pale, Hailey.” Dustin commented when we had lunch together.“Just tired,” I answered weakly.His eyes narrowed at me. “Tired or there . . . is something b

CHAPTER 29

Our relationship goes on. Even though everything was a bit difficult, I didn’t budge. Kiana is even more telling me to be alert and be careful.“I’m just warning you, Hailey. This is not the time or season to be complacent. Until we can be sure that Callum has no bad intentions, we should be cautious. Especially you. Because you’re the one whose with him all the time, you’re the one he’s married to, and you’re the one he’s falling for so badly. So be careful. Okay?” she said while she’s in my office. “I am also investigating on my own. Even more so, Mommy and Daddy are a bit anxious about something. I don’t know because every time I ask them, they say that everything is fine and that I should not worry. I’m just thinking that there’s something wrong.” She put her hand on her forehead and shook her head as if she didn’t know what to do.“What’s the state of our company, Kiana?” I asked slowly.“It also slowly rising because of Callum’s name in it.
