Just then..... “What the...............” We heard Hudson gasping for breath as he first dropped the package that he was holding and caught his Sister with what were the reflexes of long practice, pulling her to him with obvious fierce affection and at the same time peering over her head at me. “What's she doing here?” he demanded asking if I had planned the whole thing. “You are asking me? How do I know this is the first time I've come to your house.” I wrote it on the pad hurriedly. He moved Ellen away from him to look down into her eyes “What's going on Ellen?” he said and I was once more caught by the mixture of love and exasperation in his voice. “I need you to talk to Daddy,” Ellen said clearly. " Please!” Hudson’s face hardened. He opened his mouth, but then his gaze flicked towards me and he grimly shut it again. I think I'll just go home, as Jayden must be waiting for me, “I wrote hurriedly, grabbing my bag. “Oh, but you can stay…” Ellen started speaking. But I was alr
I woke up and realized it had grown dark outside and looked at the time it was six in the evening. I put my arm to touch him and felt the space next to me. I quickly got up and looked around. draping the sheet around me, I rushed down the hallway and looked for him. Empty. So was the bathroom. In a panic I went out and stopped outside the kitchen, a smile edging across my face. I watched him as he pulled a Cup of coffee and then return to cracking eggs in a bowl, to which he then added some oregano. I stood there, the smell of onion reaching my nostrils. Hudson was fully dressed, his hair was stamped from the shower. As he returned to pull open the refrigerator door, he saw me. I clutched the sheet a little tighter around me. As I had run in panic with nothing on and was feeling a little shy. Hudson looked at me lovingly and asked. "Are you hungry Callie?” I nodded my head because my stomach was grumbling. “I thought I should le
The next day started with a lot of issues, as early in the morning Jayden received a call from his manager from Budapest that something had happened in the company and he had to take the early morning flight but he promised me that he would be back the next day but I doubted it. I sat ideally at home but found it creepy because of the incident that happened the previous day. I was trying to busy myself with work when I received a text from Hudson. I smiled and checked it. “Callie, I need you to do me a favour. Can you please come home? Don’t ask me what it is as I can’t explain.” “Okay.” I wrote it and sent the message. I was wondering what was so urgent but didn’t give it a second thought and got dressed hurriedly before scooting out of the house. My heart was beating fast. The driver drove the car very smoothly and I reached Hudson’s apartment within fifteen minutes and was seated on the couch opposite to him and Ellen. I had not expected that Ellen would cry but she was cry
After sometime........................ As I lay savouring the taste of the weight of the man I loved, as he rested on top of me, I felt a pricking of tears and ran my fingers through his hair.I lost my parents when I was small and Hudson had his father but couldn’t communicate with him. But I was happy that I had him back with me again. I ran my fingers lightly over his back, traced the ridge of his spine, then curved my hand against the back of his neck and brushed my fingers against his neck, loving him.He made a soft sound against my ear and shifted slightly. “Am I too heavy, darling?”I shook my head vigorously, letting him know that, he was not that heavy and I was loving the way I was holding him.He turned his head and I could see the curve of his smile in the moonlight that spilled through the window. “ I think I am,” he said and effortlessly rolled us over, so that now I lay on top of him, though still wrapped in his arms.I lifted my head to look down at him, then quickl
Everyone except for me as I was twisting my head to catch a glimpse of Hudson, who was wearing a white shirt and tuxedo jacket and looked extremely handsome but to my surprise, another man was walking Ellen down the aisle. The bride was absolutely radiant beaming and looked at everyone, from side to side, as she walked down her towards her waiting groom and the man was smiling happily and looking at her dotingly as if he had the right to be there, in a way I supposed had full right. I knew exactly who he was. It was none other than Hudson’s father, Leo Ford, the man who had given her life. He was her father in name. But who had never been there for her every single day? I looked around desperately for Hudson. Where was he? As I couldn’t see him anywhere. It wasn’t Leo Ford’s right to give away Ellen! I was outraged. How can he be so selfish, coming out of nowhere? But the most important thing was, there was Hudson. I should have been watching the service but I barely noticed that
Callie’s POV“Thank you for dancing with me Callie,” Leo whispered in my ears.And I looked at him sharply, wondering how he knew my name.As no one had introduced me formally to him.I looked at him and gestured that I couldn’t speak and he smiled.“Yes Callie, I know you can’t speak but you are such a beautiful woman. No wonder my son is hooked to you.”I just stared at him helplessly not knowing what to say.“You must be wondering, why I cut in between you and my son, well, I will explain. I know who you are and have a brief idea of your family history and not to tell, that you are a very talented architect. I am very happy that you are the reason for my son’s happiness but Callie, you are also bringing him trouble.”I was shocked and gestured to him to explain, as I was confused why the hell was he telling me all these and when have I brou
Hudson POVHudson had finished smoking and was going back towards the dance floor, where he had left Callie but when he reached there he couldn’t find her and when he observed carefully, even his father was nowhere to be found. He clenched his fist and walked started looking for Callie. When Ellen saw her brother looking for someone, very desperately. She smiled wickedly and knew who the person was and rushed towards him.“Hudson, are you looking for Callie ?” Ellen grinned wickedly. “Ellen not now!” Hudson exclaimed. “What is with you two are you guys playing hide and seek, she was just looking for you and I told her I saw you going inside the hotel and now you are searching for her. Seriously you two love birds are too much.” Ellen said and punched his shoulder muscles. “What? And when did that happen?” He asked irritated. “Just ten minutes ago……….” And before she could explain Hudson walked past her towards the hotel entrance. Ellen grinned mischievously held her husband’s han
Callie POV As if I was waiting for his call, I got up abruptly and looked at him, wondering if I was dreaming and then looked towards my brother, who was standing close behind Hudson. I was trembling with fear and my body was shaking. I couldn't move and tears were rolling down my cheeks. Hudson took me in his arms and held me tightly and I felt so secure. I was crying miserably as if I had not cried for a long time and after a while Jayden said. “Callie sweetheart, we will be going back home to Budapest, I am shutting down the project. You don’t have to be scared, I have already lost Mom and Dad, can’t lose you.” Suddenly I couldn’t take it any longer and opened my mouth and whispered. “Jayden.” Hudson and Jayden were shocked and so Scarlett. Did Callie actually speak? “Callie !” Jayden exclaimed and walked towards her, with tears in his eyes.“Jayden, we can’t go back the man who killed our parents was the one who tried to kill the women at the hotel!” Callie exclaimed in on
