LAST REQUEST AT MY HUSBAND'S WEDDING [6]
Laughter and the gentle clinking of wine glasses echoed through the grand hall of the Japanese Embassy as the couple stepped inside that evening. A crystal chandelier hung from the high ceiling, casting a soft glow over the room, while a classical orchestra played a refined melody in one corner.Daven, dressed impeccably in a tailored black Armani suit, immediately drew attention. Several colleagues and prominent figures approached him first, offering firm handshakes and warm greetings."Mr. Callister! What a surprise to see you here," exclaimed one of his business associates, Mr. Edmund, giving Daven a friendly pat on the shoulder."Mr. Edmund," Daven replied with a brief nod, his voice flat but accompanied by a faint smile.From the moment they stepped out of the car, Althea sensed something different in the air. Perhaps it was because this was her first time attending an official event with Daven. It would’ve been a lie to say she wasn’t nervous—especially now, with so many people

“I think this tie suits you best.”Althea picked one from Daven’s extensive collection. She knew he only tolerated her presence, but she pushed her embarrassment aside. What she had planned needed to work—at least until their agreement ended.After all, they would never see each other again. She might as well pretend she was living in a dream—a romantic fantasy where her beloved husband existed solely for her. And once the dream ended, she would return to her reality: a woman fated to live her life alone.Althea played her role with quiet grace, never asking for anything in return. As long as Daven didn’t push her away, she took it as acceptance—even if it was reluctant. But every movement she made, every word she spoke, left marks that Daven could no longer ignore.He raised an eyebrow. “I can dress myself.”“I know,” Althea said with a small smile. “But allow me to pick something for you today.”She laid a suit and matching tie on the couch.“Do whatever you want,” Daven muttered wi

"Are you ... lost your mind?"Althea understood perfectly why her best friend reacted that way, her face frozen in disbelief. She had told Lydia everything—though without shedding a single tear, Lydia knew just how deep the pain and disappointment ran. Not all pain needed tears to be felt.Sometimes, the wound cut so deeply that even tears no longer had the strength to fall."You can say whatever you want," Althea replied with a faint smile. "But I think this is the only chance life has given me.""You have me, Althea. You’re not alone in this world," Lydia snapped, frustrated. "I’ve told you so many times, the Callister family is no place for someone like you. You’re too kind… too gentle to be forced to survive among them."Althea stared at her now-lukewarm cup of tea. Her hands still wrapped around it, as if whatever warmth remained could calm the storm inside her chest."I know," she whispered, barely audible. "If I could turn back time, I would never have wanted to be part of thei

It would be a lie to say Althea wasn’t hurt. It would be hypocritical to say she wasn’t sad or disappointed. But... what could she possibly do to stop any of this? Even the man she had once thought she could rely on turned out to be the very first to break her heart.Althea wasn’t blind. She could clearly see how Daven made no effort to hide his relationship with his lover. And yet, in front of his grandmother, Daven wore the perfect mask of a loving, attentive husband.“God,” she whispered, eyes shut tight as the night deepened around her. Tomorrow was another day she had to face. “Please, have mercy on me. Just a little kindness, Lord. Please... grant me this one thing.”When Althea had told him what she wanted, she never imagined Daven would agree.That was why she couldn't afford to waste this—perhaps her only—chance.A child.Althea wanted a child. A companion in the years to come. Someone she could love without conditions. Someone who would call her “Mama”—even if that was the o

“Are you out of your mind?” Catherine Callister—more commonly known as Kate—snapped, her shrill voice shattering the silence of the back garden. Her perfectly manicured fingers dug into Althea’s shoulder with enough force to make the slender woman stumble slightly. The lightweight plastic watering can Althea had been using to water the white roses fell from her hand and shattered upon hitting the sharp-edged stone tiles.Althea didn’t flinch. She merely winced at the harsh grip, then quickly composed herself. With calm eyes, she met her mother-in-law’s gaze, her hands folded neatly in front of her. The pale blue house dress she wore fluttered gently in the spring breeze, lending her an even more delicate air—but her gaze remained steady, unshaken.“How dare you make such a shameless request?” Kate continued, her voice seething with rage. Her eyes blazed. “You’re well aware my son is about to marry Vanessa, aren’t you? Of course you know that—and yet you still have the audacity to beg

"I'm getting married again," Daven said. "And I won’t repeat myself, nor will I be asking for your permission."He set his coffee cup down abruptly, ending breakfast, he hadn't even touched.Althea stood frozen near the long dining table topped with white marble. Her fingers, still holding the spatula, began to tremble. But she kept her expression composed. She bowed her head slightly, letting Daven’s words sink in—though they felt like a slow-acting poison, quietly destroying her from the inside out."With Vanessa?" Her voice was barely more than a whisper.Daven didn’t look at her. He simply took a shallow breath before replying coldly, “Yes. Who else?”Her husband, Daven Callister, had never loved her. His heart belonged entirely to Vanessa Blake. In truth, their marriage had always been nothing more than an obstacle to his love story. But what could Althea do when the woman who arranged the marriage had been so kind to her?Evelyn Callister—Daven’s grandmother.Althea hadn’t wante
