LOGIN“How many times have you done it?” Kairos interrogated him in the living room. It was just the two of them. Lysandra and Orion were busy taking care of Callista.“I’ve only done it twice. It’s no big deal. Callista and I aren’t related by blood. It’s natural for us to have sexual attraction. She’s been in this house for years, and there’s no harm in her offering her body for me to enjoy,” Caspian replied casually.Kairos was completely shocked by his son’s response. His chest ached. He touched his chest to ease the pain. His face was flushed, his jaw clenched, and the veins in his neck were clearly visible.“You’ve truly disappointed me. I’ve never had a son as horrible as you,” Kairos said, deeply disappointed.“I only made love to her, and she enjoyed it immensely. No harm was done to anyone.” Caspian tried to defend himself.“Enjoyed, you say? Can’t you see how much trauma you’ve caused her?” Orion retorted, his emotions soaring. He descended the stairs with an indescribable feelin
"I'll be fine, so you don't need to worry," Callista tried to reassure him as Orion and his parents were about to leave. She was willing to stay longer at the house to spend more time with her family before she got married. Her facial expressions and eyes showed that she wanted to go. Deep down, she was convinced she wasn't safe there. However, she pushed those feelings aside to please her parents.Reluctantly, Orion returned home without Callista. He was very anxious, unsure whether Callista would be safe with Caspian at home. Although Lysandra and Kairos were there, they weren't with her all the time. Caspian had plenty of opportunities to harm Callista.Callista smiled reluctantly. She waved goodbye, watching as Orion and his parents disappeared into the distance."There's no need to feel sad. Orion is just returning home, not wanting to go far away." Lysandra tried to be understanding.Callista nodded in agreement."You should rest now; you're not fully recovered yet," Kairos said
"Uncle, I understand that you don't want to discriminate between Caspian and Callista. You must love them both very much, which is why you asked Caspian to join us. However, with all due respect, I don't want Caspian to disrupt the atmosphere like he did now. I don't want Caspian to attend our engagement or our wedding." Orion expressed his feelings.He had been trying to repair his relationship with Caspian. However, after what Caspian did to Callista, he was furious and considered him his worst enemy. The friendship they had built over the years was no longer his."Isn't that too much? You know Caspian is very temperamental. You've known each other for decades. You know Caspian very well. What he says doesn't always match what's in his heart. Please don't punish him so harshly." Kairos tried to defend his son.No matter what Kairos said, it couldn't change Orion's decision. He didn't want Caspian at their important event. Not only because he would mess things up, but also because Ca
“Honey, look at me!” Orion said softly once they were alone. He cupped Callista’s face with his palms. He looked deeply into her eyes. They stared at each other for a moment.“Calm down, honey. I promised you I’ll be safe as long as I’m here. If you hear that bastard’s name or meet him, don’t show your fear. He only does things he doesn’t want you to do because he thinks you won’t fight back. Show him that you’re not afraid because you have me by your side.” Orion pressed every word.Calista remained silent.“Your parents have agreed for you to move in with me. This is your last day. We can move in tonight after the farewell party, so you don’t need to be afraid anymore. That bastard will never touch you again if you live with me. I promise I’ll protect you with all my life. If he threatens your safety, please don’t be angry with me if I act brutally against him.” Orion spoke firmly.Calista remained silent. She bit her lower lip as she continued to stare at Orion.“You trust me, righ
When Callista awoke, she was in her room. Everyone was sitting on the edge of the bed, surrounding her. They looked worried, especially Orion. The 25-year-old man looked extremely agitated."Callista, you're finally awake. Everyone was so worried about you." Orion helped Callista sit up, placing a pillow under her back.Callista massaged her head. She felt a little dizzy. Her body was very weak. Luckily, Caspian wasn't there when she regained consciousness, allowing her to calm down a bit."You're really making us anxious. If you're sick, you shouldn't push yourself," Orion's mother said gently, but her voice was very firm.Callista felt uneasy. This was her first meeting with Orion's parents, but she had already given off the impression of a weak woman."I'm sorry I worried you. I'm fine, just a little dizzy," Callista tried to reassure them. However, her pale face and weak body made them uneasy.The doctor came in to examine her. Everyone watched silently."How's my daughter, Doctor
They cried together for a long time.“Please tell me next time whatever happened to you. I want to be the first person you tell about your problems. No matter what, I’ll always be by your side. I love you, you really can’t live without me,” Orion said through sobs.Callista didn’t know what to do now. She had given him the option to leave her, but he wouldn’t let her go. She felt like she no longer deserved anyone. She felt so dirty, so utterly dirty.“I don’t want you to touch me. I’m so dirty, even I’m disgusted with myself. I hate myself so much for not being able to fight back when he touched me. I’m so stupid. I’d be better off dead.” Callista tried to get out of bed and look for something sharp to cut herself with. But Orion stopped her.“If you die, I’ll die with you. What’s the point of living if I’m not with you?”Those words left Callista speechless. She did want to end her life, but she wanted Orion to live a long and happy life. She didn't want him to die with her."I'm go
