Dimitri shut the car door, and he wrapped my arm around his neck as he led me to the house. Katrina sat in the car quietly, and I noticed the change in her expression when she saw Dimitri. At first, I did not think too much about it and assumed my drunken state was messing with my head.

“Can you walk from here?” Dimitri asked, holding me steady in front of my door. I nodded and pulled my arm away from him, resting my weight on the wall. My hand went to my purse and I took out my phone,

    CALISTADimitri shut the car door, and he wrapped my arm around his neck as he led me to the house. Katrina sat in the car quietly, and I noticed the change in her expression when she saw Dimitri. At first, I did not think too much about it and assumed my drunken state was messing with my head.“Can you walk from here?” Dimitri asked, holding me steady in front of my door. I nodded and pulled my arm away from him, resting my weight on the wall. My hand went to my purse and I took out my phone, my vision doubling.I shook my head and squinted to see what the time was. 10:04 PM.It was very late.“Are you sure you're okay? You will be the only one left at home after I leave,” he said, and I nodded.“I'll be fine. Go take Katrina home. She's waiting,” I shooed him off.He glanced at me one last time before leaving. I turned, opened the door, and stumbled inside, shutting it behind me. I kicked off my heels and they went flying across the room, and along the way, I removed my shirt and th

  • Falling for the step-father: A Don's obsession   Chapter 22 - Playing Along With Their Lies

    Calista's POV“Cheers!” Fara and the others clicked their glasses across the table. I smiled shyly as they gulped down the alcohol eagerly. Katrina was the biggest drinker of them all. She grabbed a bottle of alcohol and flipped it before her thumb flicked the cap off.“Wooo!” The others cheered in awe, clapping their hands. She smirked, her chest rising proudly as she grabbed another bottle and flipped it up.Our heads tilted backwards to follow the bottles. My hands clenched my dress tightly as the image of the bottles breaking filled my head while they slowly fell.Surprisingly, she caught the bottles and popped the caps, and foam spilled over the rim.“Woohoo! That was so good!” Lucas exhaled, sliding his glass to her for the first serving. Katrina smiled at him, taking the glass from his grasp. His eyes followed her, his lips slightly parted, and my face scrunched in confusion as I wondered what was wrong with him.His face flushed as his eyes stayed on her almost fervently. Katr

    Mikhail's POV“Sir, we have a problem.” Dimitri's voice sounded from the phone's speaker as I watched the lady walking out of the building with some people.She brushed her hair behind her ears, smiling as the others kept talking. Their eyes widened in surprise and one of them took out their phone and yelled something out loud.“Sir,” Dimitri called.I snapped out of my daze and focused on the phone. “Go on.”“Okay, those people are back,” he announced, and my brows drew together. “I got information that one of their members has slipped into the company Cal is working at. I'm afraid the person is one of her colleagues.”My gaze returned to the scene ahead and I watched her scan the area as though searching for someone.“Anything else?”“We couldn't get the person's name and I'm still searching for more information. However, I heard this person opened a bar down your street, so you and Cal have to be watchful. Make sure she doesn't go to any of the bars around there.”My jaw tightened,

    CALISTA“So… are we going to do the introduction?” I asked, twirling my pen. Katrina's head lifted from the book she was reading to look at me; her brows lifted slightly.“We already did that.” Someone cut in before she could reply. I faced them. “My name is Marcus, and he is Lucas, my best friend. We are already on this program together.”“Oh, I'm—” I extended my hand for a handshake, but a female appeared before me, taking my hand.“Calista.”My brows shot up. How does she know my name?“Um… you are?”“I'm Fara,” she smiled at me.“Oh.” My mind spun in circles as I wondered if I had heard that name before, but nothing came to mind. “It's nice to meet you, Fara.”“Same. Don't be too puzzled. I learned your name from Mrs. Parker's lips and your ID hanging around your neck.” She pointed at my chest, and I lowered my head to see that indeed it was.Oh, lord. I'm not used to this.We settled around a table at the far end of the company's cafeteria, discussing how our day went. Fara seems

    CALISTAI messed up.“We are here,” Mikhail’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I shook my head, slapping my cheeks lightly. “Um… are you okay?”“No.” I snapped at him, unhooking the seatbelt. “I’ll only be fine if you cancel those 20 guards you assigned to watch over me.”Mikhail laughed softly at my words and didn’t say anything.Gritting my teeth, I pushed the car door open and got out, slamming it with all the strength I had.I knew he would visit the mechanic workshop, and that was my motive.I bent down to look at him through the car window and gave him the middle finger.“Bye bye. Enjoy spending some dollars on your car door.” I stared at the expression on his face in satisfaction before marching toward the company.I hurriedly climbed the short stairs before making it inside the entrance. My gaze swept around the people walking about, each one of them having their ID card hanging around their neck.I walked past the receptionist and got inside the elevator along with ma

    CALISTA“Which hospital is she in?” The words slipped out of my mouth the minute I got down the stairs. My eyes went to Mikhail, who was going through something on his phone, and in his left hand was a newspaper.He looked up from the phone, his eyes settling on me before moving behind me. I didn't need to turn to see what he was looking at.“You're awake.” He ignored my question, setting down his phone and the newspaper on the table. “I thought Eren said her body needs more rest?” His brows shot up as he glanced past me to Eleanor.“Yes, but for now… let her do the minimal things.” She answered, walking past me to the table.Mikhail's eyes moved from her and landed on me, and for some reason, I felt the scolding in his eyes.“What?” I snarled at him, my fists clenched beside me, and I wanted to punch him.He sighed softly, rubbing his face. “Now that she's awake, Eleanor, what next?”Eleanor didn't answer immediately, her eyes on something in the newspaper. She dragged it to herself,

    CALISTAThere was no way he would be here.Mark is dead, Cal.“I'm fine.” I forced a smile and pulled away from him, but just then my feet wobbled and he quickly grabbed my arm and held my waist.“You don't seem fine, miss,” he whispered. Glancing up at him, I froze for a moment because I thought i
