My Ex-Husband's Temptation 46: Absence
WINTER:All I could do was stare at my ex-husband strolling towards us, with a smirk on his face. He wore a comfortable white T-shirt and black shoes, which he did not normally wear, especially if he came here after work. Wait. It was still three o'clock and he was done with his pile of work?Why are you asking? Isn't he the one whom you wanted to see? You missed him. I don't miss him!Ynes and I stared at each other for a moment before I returned my gaze at him. Calcifer stopped right in front of me. "I volunteer to be your groom, pumpkin," he repeated, wearing an amused expression on his face. “When will the wedding be? Please tell me about it and I am more than willing to be part of that celebration.”I folded my arms in front of my chest. My lips pressed in a thin line. "Why are you here, Calcifer?" Why was he so good at entering at the right time when he was being backstabbed? “I thought you had a business trip abroad.”He scratched the back of his head. “About that…I did g
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 47: Punched
WINTER:My ex-husband was only messing at me, right? He was only asking those words so that I would get angry, or he wanted to embarrass me. But that was what he was mistaken about. I would never give him the satisfaction.“Why would I miss you? Are you a part of my family? Are you, my husband? You belonged in the past, Calcifer and you would stay there forever.”He clutched his chest. “Your words are cruel, pumpkin.”“What you did was more than cruel,” I retorted. He heaved a sigh. “How long will we keep on dragging the past? We cannot move forward with that, pumpkin.”“I will forever remember the past because I don't want you to forget that you are now my ex-husband. You were part of my past. If not for Liam, I would never ask for your presence, Calcifer. Seeing you made me remember the past and I could not help it.”I stood, but he instantly pulled my hand down.I gasped when I landed on top of him. His body was all muscles. Those delicious muscles I had ran my hands when we cons
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 48: Good Time
WINTER:Hawk seemed like he was going to kill Calcifer. His body shivered as he continued throwing punches to my ex-husband. Silently but with accuracy. The way his fist moved seemed like he had thrown all his hatred to his fist, as he aimed it directly towards Calcifer. My ex-husband was at a disadvantage. First, he had no excellent training in fighting compared to Hawk. Second, he was at a disadvantage. Calcifer was able to dodge some of the attacks, but he was not that excellent in dodging. Some punches were able to land on Calcifer's jaw while some by the couch. "Stop it, Hawk!"My voice was only swallowed by his anger. He was no longer listening as he continued throwing his punches. “Hawk! I order you to stop!”Still, my voice could not reach him. When Calcifer was able to have an opening, he returned some of the punches and landed on Hawk's jaw. "Stop it both of you!" I ordered. Panicked kicked in.What would happen if someone was sent to the hospital? It was definitely
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 49: Can I See Jett-Jett?
WINTER:I squinted my eyes. “Where did that come from?”He averted his gaze, which he usually did. “I saw you smiled at him when he pushed you on top of him.”I tried to recall if I acted like a teenager squealing because of happiness as she touched her crush's body, but I did not. “Is there a problem with that? We did not kiss or fuck each other in the living room. Besides, I am single. So is Cali though I am not saying that I wanted something to happen between us. That chapter of my life was already closed, Hawk.”He stared at me for a moment before he looked away again. “You are right. There is nothing wrong with that as long as you two loved each other.”I narrowed my eyes. “Wait. Stop whatever wrong thinking you have in your mind. I wanted to clarify. Who said we loved each other? Calcifer loved Carmela. He never loved me. What did you see earlier? He was messing me out. Trying to make fun. I was out of the equation. Cali had no feelings, okay?”Now, why did that thought stung
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 50: Jett-Jett
WINTER:Seeing Jett-Jett meant seeing Carmela, too, which I did not like at all. But could I tell them that I don't approve of it?“Mommy, please? I was already looking forward to meeting Jett-Jett. We always talked over the phone.”Courtesy of Calcifer. It seemed like he wanted the two to get closer to each other so that when he would drop the bomb that they were siblings, it would be easier for the two to accept it. “This will be a good time to let them meet, pumpkin. The two have nothing to do right now.”“How about that woman?” I inquired. How would I explain to Liam if that woman will come out of the blue and do something else? Like doing inappropriate things?Like showing her cleavage in front of the kids? Or maybe in front of Cali and the kids would see how she seduced my ex-husband? “She is not living with me, pumpkin. Rest assured that she will not know I am at my house.”“And the child? Are you taking custody of your child?”“I was the one taking care of her. Carmela gave
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 51: What is the Meaning?
WINTER:“Jett-Jett,” Cali called, his patience wearing thin. “I told you to be nice to Liam and his mom when they visit us. I thought we were already clear about that?”Jett-Jett's lips pressed into a snarl. “Well, I don’t like them, Dad and they can go back to where they came from. They are not welcome in our house.”I wished I never came here. I felt sorry for my child who did not even know what was happening or why he was being hated by someone who did not even know him.So unfair. “What? That’s not a good thing to say. You apologize to them now!” Cali demanded, his patience wearing thin. Not wanting to back down, Jett-Jett retorted, “I don’t want to! It’s not my fault! It’s her fault for taking you away from me and Mommy. How could she be shameless, Daddy?”“Mommy? Are you okay?” Liam whispered, clutching my clothes as if his life depended on it. “I'm fine, Liam. Don't listen to what she says. She's only upset,” I whispered. “Let's forgive her, shall we? Planting a grudge again
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 52. Visitor
WINTER: As much as I knew that Calcifer was single and that he had no girlfriend and it was not Carmela, the feeling as if you were caught sinning persisted.It seemed like a bucket of water was thrown into me. As if burned, I pushed Calcifer away from me. My eyes trained on the newcomer whose nostrils were steaming. Carmela. His other ex-wife.If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. She shrieked an ear-splitting one that nearly made my ears bleed. “How could you do this to me?” she exclaimed; her face burned with anger. Calcifer straightens himself while blocking my eyesight from the woman. He was trying to protect me.Don't you dare hide, Winter. You did nothing wrong. You did not seduce Calcifer of anything like that. Still, why did it feel like we were discovered for doing immoral acts even if there were none. Why am I hiding behind him? His broad back felt like strong walls that would protect me from any rabid animals. “Do what?” he calmly asked. “What am I doing?
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 53: Calcifer
CALCIFER:I watched in agony as Winter dragged Liam outside the house. It was so close. Winter had slowly given in, but Carmela had to buted in, killing the moment. Fuck. Why did she have to show herself and create a scandal? This woman had no class. I clenched my fist. How to get rid of this woman? She won't even give up on me and I did not like it a bit. She was getting on my nerves. "Why haven't you told me you arrived, Cali?" Carmela asked when it was already the two of us. “Didn't I tell you that I will get you at the airport?”I glared at her. "Winter is my visitor. I invited them because Jett-Jett has no playmates. Why do you have to destroy everything, huh?" I growled.She looked at me in disbelief and pain. Then, she pointed at herself. "Me?”“Yes, you!”I've been trying to win her back. To aim for her forgiveness. But then Carmela had to show herself. What a fucking right timing. “What if it is my fault? Why are you so angry? Is it because I stepped in and stopped you fr
