WINTER:You know that reaction where you were busted doing evil things? It was like that in the case of Miss Nathalia. She forze, and slowly glanced over her shoulder to see his half-brother staring down at her.I did not have any idea if Calciferol was talking as her half-brother or his boss as of the moment,"Daddy! Mommy!" Liam called the moment he saw us. Nathalia sighed in relief at the adlib of the awkward situation she was in. Liam jumped over the sofa and ran towards me and Cali. He hugged me tightly while I ruffled his hair and embraced him.Inhaling deeply, I could smell the bar of soap and shampoo from his hair and body. Hawk never failed to take care of him. “Did you have a great time while we were away, Liam?”He nodded. “Yes, Mommy. I had a great time with Uncle Hawk.”“Good.” My eyes shifted to the three. The tense atmosphere was still present in the room and with Liam present, I did not think that would be a nice sight to see. "Miss Nathalia. Would you mind answerin

WINTER:I was left speechless at Cali’s statement.I was not expecting what he would say.Me rejecting Hawk? There were times when I did think about that. That I should follow what my heart dictated, but then my mind would go back to Hawk and how the rejection would hurt him.I could not do it. I did not want to hurt him. "Pumpkin? Despite the revelations I found now, of Nathalia liking your bodyguard, can I still say that I have a higher chance now that my secretary wanted your bodyguard for herself?"My mouth opened and closed. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. It was only a yes or a no answer, but why did it seem like it was difficult to answer? "Pumpkin? Please tell me if I have a better chance now?"He always had a higher probability of being accepted as my boyfriend. But then, what about Hawk?I instantly pulled my hand away and distanced myself away from him. "I did not say anything like that, Cali. All I am saying is that you don't have the right to dictate to Nat

HAWK:Nathalia was sent by her boss to make me change her mind. Lifting her chin, she said, "Are you freaking kidding me? Of course, not! I ordered myself to do this. I don't want to see the man I like act pathetic like this. It's so not like you. I wanted to see the man who captured my heart the first time we met. He was a confident man, not someone like you looking depressed like this. No offense." She hugged herself when the cold hit her delicate skin. Why did she wear a striped tank top in this weather? It was her fault anyway. She had to learn her lesson. "What will I do to make you go? I'm already thinking about a lot of things. Don't add any more to my problems.""I'm not adding anything. How about temporarily forgetting your problem?"There was something evil in the way she stared at me.A shiver ran down my spine, not because of the cold, but the way she looked at me. She was planning something. This woman was evil. "What are you trying to say? Say it and get lost."I lo

WINTER:"Where could he be?" I asked for the nth time, referring to my bodyguard—Hawke. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he was not here yet. It was seven o'clock when I found out my bodyguard was gone. Since Cali did not bring his car, I was supposed to ask Hawk if he could drive Cali back when the rain stopped falling, but to my surprise, the man was nowhere to be found. "Your bodyguard is not a child, Pumpkin. Don't worry about me. I can just stay here for another day."Here I was, worried for Hawk's safety, but it seemed that Cali did not share my sentiments. He kept on pressing that there was nothing to worry about since Hawk could protect himself.Cali did not know everything. "No, you cannot," I muttered, turning him down. I could not afford to make him spend the night here or else, something might happen between us. And then, Cali might expect something else that I could not give at the moment. I haven't made a decision yet. "You're going home, Calcifer,"

WINTER:It was a rumble after Cali stepped in, and Hawk followed punching the group earlier. They were raining kicks and punches and grabbed whatever they could have and threw it against each other. My mouth fell open, no words would come out of my mouth. The scene looked like they were shooting an action scene. I flinched when the smallest among the group hit Cali. The latter staggered. Using the opportunity, the man was about to throw another punch at Cali, but Hawk came to the rescue, and threw him a punch on his jaw, rendering the man unconscious. Hawk and I locked gazes and he gave me a thumbs up. He swayed and was able to regain his balance. A thumbs up? Did he think this was fine?The other four men were about to attack Cali and Hawk, but Miss O shrieked and ordered her bouncers to step in. Bulky and large men stepped forward and successfully stopped all of them before great damage would be done. "Fuck you!" Calcifer cursed, in an attempt to attack the men again, but two
