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
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 54: Carmela
CARMELA:It was the woman’s fault because Cali’s love for me had disappeared.I hated her for that. I want her to disappear from the picture forever. But how? Cali will kill me if I do something to that woman. But was killing her worth it just to attain Calcifer’s love and attention?His world no longer revolved around me. Back then, I could always wrap him around my fingers. Whatever I said, he would always listen. He was my puppet and I used his love for me to get whatever I want from him. Bags. Shoes. Money. Calcifer was the richest person I could ever had and I did not want him to lose like that. All because of Winter.I bit my fingernails.I wanted that woman gone. I need to plan this well. Something that would not leave any evidence at all. “Mommy? Why are you crying?” Jett-Jett asked.After Cali left and went to his room, I entered the child’s room. The child whom Cali had attached to. It was unfortunate that I had to use her so that Cali would not cut off his financial suppor
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 55: Hawk's Confession 2.0
WINTER:An almost kiss. Until now, I could not forget the feel of his weight pressing against mine. Of Calcifer’s scent and everything about him. If Carmela did not arrive, would I give in? Would we kiss?I put my fingers on my lips, remembering how it felt to have his lips against mine.Calcifer.Why could I not forget that man? Was he thinking about me? He never bothered to send me a text when I left. Which meant only one thing. He did not care what I would think. He just let me overthink.Damn. To think he told me he liked me. If he truly did like me, he should be asking right now if I was fine or not after what his daughter had told me.With all honesty, I could not blame the kid. Her mother was still alive so it was a given that she would prefer her mother over me. Still, I was glad that even for a short period of time, Liam and Jett-Jett were able to bond.My eyes shifted to Liam’s sleeping form. He had long fallen asleep, but me? I could not force myself to sleep.The heck.I
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 56: About the Kiss Earlier
WINTER:Hawk loved me.It was surreal and I did not know what was happening. Or whether I would believe him.I pointed at myself. “You loved me?”“Is it unbelievable?”“It is. I’m sorry, but I am not taking your feelings for granted. But…I cannot give you a response right now.”“It’s fine, Miss Winter. You don’t have to give me your answer. Saying my feelings to you was already a great help since I was able to get rid of this heavy feeling.”“I’m sorry, Hawk.”“It’s fine, Miss Winter.”He turned his back. Just as he was about to step forward, I said, “Hawk…I haven’t given an answer yet.”“I will understand whatever your opinion, Miss Winter.”“Are you sure?”“I am fine.”He was not fine. His shoulders drooped and he was sad. I wished I could ease the pain he felt right now, but my heart was in chaos. I just could not lie to myself and tell him that everything was okay. That I would be choosing him, because right now, I cannot do anything.“You will still stay, right?”He laughed in a l
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 57: Ready
WINTER:I held my breath, as I listened to my ex-husband. “W-We never kissed, Cali. It never happened.”A little part of me wanted it to happen. To check if my toes still tingled. Or I was still lusting over him. What would happen if we kissed?If you were tlaat curious, you should have kissed him. He chuckled while massaging his neck. “Yeah. Yeah. We never. But we might when Carmela did not enter.”Well, it might be true. I might kiss him for real. “It might happen. D-Does that mean…you have feelings for me?” he asked shyly. “You can choose not to answer, pumpkin. I don't want to pressure you or anything like that, okay? I am only curious.”My eyes bulged. Then, I masked my face. “What the heck are you saying? Why would I have feelings for you? Our marriage started with a loveless one and it ended the same.” I scoffed while feeling the coldness of my hand. My heartbeat wildly against my ribcage as if it was going to come out. “I.. I don’t have feelings for you.”“If…If you don’t ha
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 58: Revisited
WINTER:I could see that Calcifer was interested in listening to me. Good because this was the only time I would be brave like this. Next time, I won't be able to tell him. Cali's expression softened in the camera and I had the urge to hug him right now. If only we were not separated by the virtual world…then…I would be able to do what I wanted with him like cuddling and kissing. “Why did you leave, pumpkin? I mean, why did you withdraw and imprisoned yourself in your room?”Here it goes. “There was some incurable sickness in our family which only spread among the women. Mom was one of the victims of that sickness so the rest of her family members. When I started to get some symptoms, I got scared that I would leave you. I eman…despite being in a loveless marriage, I also liked you as my husband since you’ve been good to me. I was scared that I would leave this world without getting the chance to know you, Cali.”He sucked in a breath.“W-What did you experience?”“Dizziness. Pain
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 59: Spoken Out Loud
WINTER:Unknowingly, my hands went to my lips and touched them. My breathing slowed as I focused on Calcifer's lips. A kiss, huh? I nibbled on my bottom lip as I remembered the memories. He was such a good kisser and his lips were soft and always red, reminding me so much of the apples I saw on the online streaming platforms. What would it feel like if something happened between us again? It had been a long time since the last time I was with a man. Well, excluding Hawk since these past few months, he was exclusively working for me. Until Calcifer arrived. I shook my head at the train of my thoughts. Those were dangerous thoughts that should have been destroyed the moment they started to kick in. Really, Winter? You're going to be fooled again by someone like him? Then you will cry your heart out?"S-shut up, Calcifer. You're only lonely now. You can kiss your other ex-wife." If he was not lonely, then he would be talking to Carmela now. That woman was desperate to get Cali’s a
