All Chapters of To Hell With Him: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

When Callista was young, she had dreamed of traveling the world. After her parents passed away unexpectedly, that dream was set aside for 19 years.Ironically, it was only after leaving everything behind that she picked it up again. In her first month away, she visited the city she had always longed to see. She took the time to heal her body and mind.During that time, she ran into her university senior, Jude Jones.Unfamiliar with her surroundings and still weak from her procedure, Callista found herself relying on Jude often during that month.But Callista had always been perceptive about matters of the heart. When she noticed the way Jude looked at her—something more than friendly—she quietly left and moved on to her next destination.Her five years of marriage weren't entirely without merit. At the very least, she no longer had to worry about money.However, Luther's constant public apologies that were posted online for the world to see, managed to follow her wherever she wen

Luther looked around, but all he saw were countless travelers pulling their suitcases with their backs turned to him.He lowered his gaze, clutching his phone as he approached people with the photo, asking if they'd seen her.He didn't care about his appearance at the foreign airport. He just kept shouting "Callista" over and over. After running through nearly the entire airport, he finally got an answer."She was sitting right here half an hour ago. The flight has already taken off."When you came in, she even looked at you. Are you sure you know her? If so, why didn't she respond when you were shouting her name?"Luther froze on the spot. He had missed her by only 30 minutes. He was so close to seeing her, yet somehow, he fell just short.Exhausted and drenched in sweat, Luther's heart felt like it had plunged into an icy abyss.She had watched him run around like a fool, searching desperately, yet she hadn't taken even a single step toward him to make herself known.At that

"You seem to have forgotten—I gave you so many chances," Callista said coldly."You were the one who failed, every single time."Luther's voice trembled as he said, "Honey, I truly know I was wrong.""And so?" Callista let out a hollow laugh."Can you bring back the two children I lost? Can you erase what you did with Wren?"From the moment I left, I never planned to turn back."Luther Spencer, you disgust me."Callista then turned to Jane. "Your five minutes are up. Now, please excuse me.""No… don't, Cally. We've been together for so many years. You can't just—" Luther's desperate, tear-choked pleas echoed behind her as she walked out the door.Jane sighed heavily. "Luther, she's gone."Those words landed like a death sentence.Luther's eyes dimmed, and they became hollow and lifeless. But in the next instant, he bolted for the door. The IV needle was ripped out. It left a trail of blood, but he seemed immune to the pain.Yet his body was long past its limits, and it gave

Callista pursed her lips briefly.The elevator doors opened, and Jude stepped out. He was walking a few paces ahead before turning to look at her. "What's wrong?"Callista put her phone away and followed him.When they reached their rooms, which were right across from each other, Callista opened her door but didn't step inside."Jude, do you want to come in for a bit?"Callista then turned around before adding, "What I meant was... should we try being together?"Jude froze as he was clearly caught off guard. Callista, too, regained her composure and was about to retract her words when Jude beat her to it."Yes." He closed the distance between them with quick strides while gently shutting the door behind him.Trapping her between his body and the wall, his usually composed demeanor gave way to an intensity that made his gaze burn."Should we keep going, Cal?" His voice, which was low and raspy, sent a blush up her ears.She felt a rush of panic but didn't hesitate. "Yes."Jud

It couldn't possibly be what Callista thought, could it? But it sure was.Callista could hardly believe that someone as composed and gentle as Jude could come up with so many plans—plans designed to make her cheat on Luther.She flipped through the pages, half-laughing and half-crying, until her eyes froze on a particular line."Better not. It would upset her."Her heart skipped a beat."To be honest, when I first saw all this, I was even more shocked than you," Harriet said while shrugging."You think you know someone, but family always surprises you. Honestly, we wondered if he might be a little... unhinged."Callista laughed despite herself."But one thing is clear—he's been stuck on you for 12 years. We've tried to talk sense into him, but he's stubborn."I'm sorry about that call that morning. I really didn't know you were with him."I apologize for helping to mold him into the person that he is. If you can, please be patient with him. At the very least... don't despise
