(Anastasia's POV)"Happy Halloween." a husky voice whispered in my ear and I jumped, dropping the carton of milk on the table but it was closed, so nothing spills.It was early morning and it was Halloween today. My dress was hanging in my closet and the mere thought of wearing it in front of Caleb made tingles shoot up my spine. "We are running low on food," I said and I heard him shuffling behind me. I turned to see him staring at me with amused eyes. "What are you looking at? Go buy some food. Unless you want to eat pasta dipped in mango juice." I was just joking, I know that it's Rosalinda's job for grocery."You look like a wife," Caleb said, his eyes brightening up immensely and my eyes widened. "You, asking your husband to go to the grocery store and buy food." My eyes widened at his sentence and my face felt heated all of a sudden. I wanted to shift the topic immediately."But I am married to Caleb Carter remember?" I said and now he was beaming, vastly amused at the situation
(Anastasia's POV)Caleb left with Damian, I guess there was a problem with something business. I go back inside the hall and searched for Ava in the crowd but I spotted her with Lucas, so I just let them be. I headed to the buffet table and get some beverages. As I was striding my feet to the table when someone bump my shoulder causing my drink to spill on the ground and few to my hand. I should have been more careful. I raised my head to say sorry but my tongue halted at some creature standing in front of me with her raised eyebrow.It's Lianne.My eyes scanned her outfit, I scoff at the fact that we wear the same costume, Harley Quinn. We must be destined as enemies."Looks who's here," she said with a smirk."Yeah, the CEO's wife, remember?" I yelled at her but I did not intentionally yell, I was just making sure that she hears what I say. The music is just a plus.She rolls her eyes and spotted my outfit. "You don't look good." I gasped."Then how about you? Do you think you can po
(Anastasia's POV)It was full of tension inside the car. I wanted to talk and clarify things but Caleb's anger overpowered him. My tears won't stop streaming down my face. I admit I'm scared. I'm scared that he might hurt me too if I let out a word from my mouth. Scared that he might accuse me of flirting or having an affair with Byron. It's not like I wanted this to happen. I'm a victim too. I didn't do that intentionally.He accelerated the engine causing me on a razor’s edge of panic as my heart hammered in my chest. I didn't dare to stop him as I am frightened that he will take out all his anger on me.Thankfully, we arrived at the mansion safe and sound.He got off the car and slammed the door closes behind him. With his big strides, he entered the mansion leaving me inside his car.I calm myself down before I jerk off from the car. Striding inside the mansion, I headed to my room. I have this urge to talk to him but maybe this is not a good time for a talk. He needs to calm down
(Anastasia's POV)The slight movement of his chest beneath my palm made me open my eyes and look up to check if he was awake. Sure enough, he was wide awake. His dark brown eyes were wide and frantic. He shot upright in bed and looked around. I remained quiet, letting the surroundings sink into his mind. After only a moment of silence, his eyes met mine, and just, as usual, it made my stomach tingle with sparks.He looked at the bed and looked back at me once again. I sigh at his confused expression. He looked down at his palm and saw the cloth wrapped around it. He frowned."You cut your palm. You got drunk." I said to ease his confusion. "I brought you here. I thought it would help you forget things. Are you okay no—"He closed his eyes shut, squeezing them hard before opening them again. His hand which was currently circling my waist, tightened around me. I feel how he slowly removed his arm and move away from me."C-Caleb--""Leave," he firmly said."Can we at least talk about las
(Caleb's POV)As I opened my eyes I saw nothing, just darkness. I slightly lifted my head only to realize that my arms were wrapped around Ana's body.My face was stuffed in her breasts.When I lifted my head, I saw that she was wide awake with her hands holding her phone over her face.I stare at her with amusement. Damn! She's so stunning with her messy hair. I can't believe that we ended up making love after our quarrel. My eyes look down at her neck, the hickey was gone. I'm so infuriated by Byron's presence. This is what I'm scared about, Byron might steal my girl again, but this time, I won't let him take my girl away from me.Anastasia is so innocent that she didn't know people around her might be causing her trouble. She is not good at choosing a friend. But Ava and Lucas are not bad though.After a few moments of staring at her, she finally noticed I was awake, My eyes meet her enticing constellation-blue eyes. She looked at me with raised eyebrows before I smirked causing her
(Caleb's POV)"Now, what do you want to eat?" I asked.We just got out of the shower and she is sitting on my lap as I am drying her hair using a hair blower. "Hmmm... Pancake with blueberry syrup," she said and after a second of thought, I smiled at her."Alright, let's see if there is a blueberry syrup at the counter and I'll make you some pancakes too, go get dressed then," I replied and she nodded her head standing up from my lap and got off the bed before striding over towards my bathroom to get dress.I stood up from the bed and headed to the kitchen. I saw that William was already there."Good morning, Sir." he greeted respectfully. I nodded in reply."William, you can have the day off. Don't worry, I'll still pay you." I asked and he looked quite surprised."Thank you so much, Sir. Would you like me to make you guys anything?" he asks while taking out his phone."No, it's alright, William. I'll handle everything." I replied and he nodded. He finished up what he was doing and
(Anastasia's POV)It's been days since we are back from our one-day and one-night unplanned vacation from that beach house that Caleb bought for me. Yes, we just confessed to each other. I can't help but smile from ear to ear every time I remember the beautiful moments we had created at the beach house. I am happy and euphoric as if I'm floating on a cloud nine with butterflies in my stomach every time those three words come out of his mouth. I've become infatuated with Caleb, believing that he is perfect, and wanted to be with him all the time. He must probably feel the same way, too.While this was happening, Caleb had to return to work the next day after, it seems there is something urgent coming at his company but he always came home right away and stayed with me for the remainder of the night.As I am not working at his company anymore, I sometimes hang out with Ava and Lucas after her work. Since that Halloween party, I've never seen Byron. He didn't contact me again after I igno
(Caleb's POV)"C-Caleb?" She stutters out in question causing me to smirk.She just got home and entered our room from hanging out with Alice and Adam. Now, I am ready for her 'I make it up to you when we get home' statement earlier."Now what?" I ask as I move to the side and gesture her to the bed at the corner of the room. I guess she already know what I meant by it, she slowly formed a Cheshire cat grin. She drops off her bags from her arms on the floor as she runs towards me and jumps into my arms. I catch her as she wraps her legs into my waist."Is it my shift now?""Get your job well done now, or else you should over time." she laughs as I carry her to the bed.My Ana, I'm going to have so much fun with you tonight.***I woke up the next morning and she was gone. Again.She just doesn't learn, does she?I sat up from our bed, picking up my phone from the bedside table. I opened my contacts and dialed Anastasia."Hello," she answered on the other line."Where the hell are you,
