41. A NEED FOR A KISS?

A FEW MOMENTS after Callan made a call on his phone, there were room attendants who knocked and immediately went to gather our suitcases. Callan has two pairs of black luggage while I have three silver luggage.The male room attendants, who I was sure were some of the staffs here in the resort, loaded our luggage to the cart and bowed at us.“We hope you had a great stay with your wife at the resort, sir,” one of them said.“Thank you for having us,” Callan said with his stern voice.I was standing beside him and I gave the resort staff a wide smile. “It was an amazing experience. And the food at our wedding reception was notably delicious. I also enjoyed the bar near the beach!” I said, getting too serious in giving my feedback when Callan softly touched my waist.I stopped mid-sentence but didn’t make it obvious and just kept a straight face. I kept smiling at them as I grabbed Callan’s wrist. “Thank you so much,” I said once again.“It’s a pleasure, Mr. and Mrs. Chevalier,”“My wif

42. A NEW EXPERIENCE

I SLAPPED CALLAN’S chest and squinted my eyes, tracing any hints of distress from his eyes but he was indeed amused. Did he just fool me into kissing him? “You can’t get enough of me, wife. Don’t ever think too much. We just got married.” After saying that, Callan returned to his phone. This time he positioned it to his ears after pressing onto someone’s number. “Yes, we are now heading to the private airport. I can meet Mr. Dicken by evening. Yes, have that setup, Mila,” then he ended the call and dialed another number. “Aakil? Where is father? Did you accompany him earlier? Did he close the deal with the real estate mogul? Good. Yes, he shouldn’t bother with that. I’ll deal with our transactions abroad. Just keep the barracks in place. Our men have to be deployed next week at Mr. Baris’ groundbreaking event. What did the consigliere say about that? The underboss has the say in where his mean must be, Capo Baris is as important as the other captains. They bring in more than just t

43. ANOTHER SIDE OF HIM

IN THE MIDDLE of the flight, I put on pajamas and got ready to lay on the single bed on the back part of the jet. There were not much of turbulences that happened for the past hours. I had spent most time looking through my new phone.When I opened my social media accounts, there were hundreds of messages and notifications. I looked through it but did not open it one by one. Mostly those were just messages from old classmates back in college who had heard the news about my parents’ death and the fire that burnt our house to ashes.I looked through familiar names—some of the few people with whom I had gotten close over the years but drifted apart from each other when they successfully got on a cruise while I remained stuck in our city after graduating from college.There were three of them… all women. But I understand if they had so much going on in their lives abroad that they didn’t know what was going on with me during the past months. This was one of the notable lessons I had learn

44. WHAT LIES DO YOU HIDE

AS CALLAN LOOKED AWAY, I put on my jeans back and looked down. My cheeks were flushed with shame and shock. I made sure there was no one in the vicinity. I just needed to get off my clothes so water wouldn’t drip on the tiled floor.I cleared my thoughts and then looked at the surroundings once again. Callan stood with his back turned at me from a close distance. Before he pointed at the nearest door. I assume it was a room. “That’s our room for tonight. I asked for a double bed. We’ll have the penthouse by morning.”I nodded. Callan walked towards the doors and swiped a card then the door unlocked. Without saying anything I rushed towards the room and stepped inside.The room looked elegant despite the simple interior with white and grey accents and gold carvings on a few pieces of furniture positioned inside.There was also a large television a small kitchen on the side and a bathroom on the left. True enough there were indeed two beds beside each other. Each one has a bedside table

45. PART OF THE TRUTH

IT WAS NOT enough to squirm and urge Callan to pull away from his grip on my wrist. Even not enough to glare at him for him to let go and allow me to walk away from the room.I don’t know if he was worried about what I just heard or if he just felt he was in the authority to demand what I shall do from now on the fact that I am under his wing.“In case you wanna hear more about what I said earlier—”“Will you really tell me the truth, Callan? Do you think it would be that easy to just accept everything you’ll say just because you’re caught off guard?” I bombarded him with questions, one after another. “I get it, Callan. You love someone else. You had me cover up her presence that once graced your life to present yourself better in front of your family. Yet you made it sound like I was so desperate for you. You told me you’re just fulfilling your duties. You did not tell me I have a better use for you and you need me as much as I needed you. I spent the entire time feeling guilty! If y

46. ADMIT YOUR GUILT

Callan’s POVESMÉ LEFT and I found myself drenched in cold water as I allowed the shower to just drip off my face. The cold droplets traveled from my jaws to my chest.It was just my senses detecting everything as my eyes were shut close and my mind drifted off from all the work I had to finish on the way here, and all the times Esmé clouded my mind with the little things she does which seemed to bother me a lot.For instance, her words were a while ago.I balled my fist and with a grunt, I had already punched the wall in front of me. My cold hand turned hot, now throbbing with sharp pain. I used the same arm to lean onto the wall as I silenced the grunt coming out of my mouth from the jolting pain on my knuckles.“Fuck!”When Esmé asked why there were times we were drawn to each other’s bodies even when I always tell her I love someone else… I was flabbergasted. Looking at her eyes that suppressed the tears that desperately wanted to escape, I wanted to give her the truest answer I c

47. TOO DRUNK TO BOTHER

Callan’s POVSOME PEOPLE gasped at what they had witnessed. With a tightened jaw and palms almost balding into firsts, I wanted to land an uppercut to the old man’s face so his smirk would vanish. My men followed me inside this store and saw what I had just done.I pushed the man away. “Call the police! This man’s preying on drunk women!” I shouted.The man’s eyes widened in shock and looked at the surroundings. His blackened lips moved and his gaze was agitated, as if looking for a way to escape.“What’s happening?” Esme’s words were soft, confused about what just happened. I held her shoulder when he was about to stand up.“It’s alright. I’ll handle this.”“The man helped me… he ordered me drinks after I bought dinner. He even asked if I wanted ice cream for dessert.”My forehead formed a line and looked at Esmé very carefully. “No, you paid for your food and drinks with my card. You have it with you remember?”Esmé pointed at the man and then mumbled. “He borrowed it earlier. He s

48. COULD THIS BE BEAUTIFUL

I WOKE UP feeling cold. When I opened my eyes, the quiet peaceful sky greeted me. Somebody was breathing beside me which gave me warmth. I inhaled a deep breath and moved, only to witness Callan’s peaceful face as he slept deeply.The alcohol didn’t have much effect on me this time. But the cold at this hour alarmed me. I touched his forehead and sighed in relief when I felt him still warm. I looked around and the surroundings at the resort were quiet, maybe everybody was asleep.My gaze landed on the men wearing suits who were sitting at the entrance part of the villa. One of them was sleeping and the other two were talking in low voices.“Hello…”They saw me and immediately walked towards the pool.“Callan is still fast asleep. May I ask for help in carrying him to…” I paused a little, feeling quite embarrassed to say, “Our room.”“At once, Mrs. Chevalier,” both of them stood on each side of Callan and stood up. Callan moved a bit and maybe realized what was going on.With eyes half

49. NIGHTMARES KEPT HIDDEN

Callan’s POVTHE COLD WAS SEEPING THROUGH the back of my neck and to my hands as I stared at my father gasping the hair of some man. Blood was running from the wounded side of his head. He was shivering in fear and growling in pain.A 12-year-old me stood right behind my father. I was feeling the same but without the blood running down my head. Instead, I was shivering and my hands were just grasping the ends of my shirt. We were in the underground portion of our mansion; the hall was dark with only a light hanging in the middle right above the head of the man being tortured. I could not understand why my father was hurting him. He was shouting the words “I’m sorry… I apologize, Don Thoron. I stole the money from the capo. I gave it to the Cato clan. Did you tell them about us—the ravij?”There was no response.“You are well aware of the code of silence,” my father’s voice was stern and another punch landed on the man’s stomach.“Arghhh!” a shout escaped the man’s lips. He was limping

50. A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING

I SLEPT KNOWING there was nothing left for me to do but figure things out sooner. As the next day arrived, Callan’s words resurfaced inside my head. This was the last thing that he said to me before he called it a night. “No one can hurt you as long as you’re with me.”‘But you do, Callan…’ I wanted to say. The gala will be in the evening and the invitation has already been sent to us. Callan was the one who received it from the guards. Then handed it to me as he was fixing his hair. “We’ll leave in an hour. I’ll wait for you in the car.”“W-what? In an hour? Callan, I just woke up.” I looked at the blanket covering my body and touched my hair which I’m sure is a mess right now. “We will roam around the road for a bit and look for clothes for the event in the evening.”“Aren’t you gonna attend to your clients?” I asked as I immediately got out of bed and fixed the sheets. “I am only doing this just because I owe you a lot, Callan. Once this meeting with your relatives is over, you
