"What happened?" Orion asked breathlessly. He immediately drove to the house after receiving a phone call from Lysandra saying that Callista was hysterical.Lysandra didn't know how to respond, as she herself didn't know what had happened between Callista and Caspian."I'm scared." Callista immediately hugged Orion after he sat on the edge of the bed. She hugged him tightly, trying to hide in his broad chest."I'm here, so don't worry," Orion said softly. Just hearing those words made her understand what had happened. This must have been Caspian's doing."I heard you went to Caspian's lab and caused a commotion there, is that true? I saw Caspian's face all bruised when he came back and said it was you," Lysandra asked in a probing tone."Yes, I did it for a reason." Orion didn't deny it at all.“I don’t know what’s going on between you two, but I think you’ve gone a little too far this time. You’ve ruined his years of research. It wasn’t something he could have easily obtained. This t
Caspian kicked open Callista's bedroom door furiously. Callista, who had been sleeping, suddenly woke up. She was shocked to find Caspian standing in front of her. Not only was she shocked, but she was also terrified. After what Caspian had done to her that morning, she no longer dared to look at him for even a second. She lowered her head, hugging herself as she backed away to create space between herself and Caspian, until her back hit the headboard.Caspian, who had initially wanted to vent his frustration, suddenly froze, staring at Callista's body. She was wearing only a thin pink nightgown. Her hair was loose, and her face looked incredibly pale. For Caspian, the sight was beautiful and mesmerizing."What's going on?" Kairos and Lysandra approached the room after hearing the loud banging on the door.How could they not? The locked door swung open with just one kick from Caspian. The door was instantly shattered by him.Neither Caspian nor Callista wanted to answer. Both were fro
“How did it go? How is my daughter?” Kairos asked immediately after seeing the psychologist descend the stairs.“She seems severely depressed. She’s been through a lot lately. My advice is to not burden her anymore. The burden is already too much for her.” The woman offered her advice.“What happened? Has she told you about how she’s feeling? I want to know what really made her feel this way,” Lysandra asked, holding back tears.“She asked me not to tell you about her problems, so I won’t tell you to maintain her trust. Right now, she needs someone she can trust.” The psychologist spoke in a very convincing tone.Kairos and Lysandra couldn’t force it any longer. They didn’t want Callista’s condition to worsen. Lysandra was very certain that the problems Callista was facing were no small matter. They weren’t just a pile of college assignments. Callista wasn’t the type of girl who didn’t like to study. Since childhood, she had excelled in school. She loved studying because she had high
"Sir, the psychologist you requested is here." There was a knock and a call from the front door."Please tell him to come in!" Kairos answered loudly.The door opened, revealing a woman. Kairos looked relieved, as his assistant was adept at finding the right person. If the psychologist was a woman, Callista would be more open to talking. Women would understand each other better."I've found you a psychologist, so you can tell him anything. Perhaps he can provide a solution to your panic," Kairos explained to his daughter.Callista looked to Orion for advice. She didn't dare tell him about the werewolf in her house, or the threats she'd received from her step-brother. She had already suffered many consequences from Caspian for knowing that secret. Even now, her mental state was shaken. If she told the psychologist about it, Caspian would probably kill all three of them. She didn't want to involve anyone else in her current predicament. It was just her and
Callista joined the dining table with an indescribable feeling. Her face was grim with suppressed fear. She sat to her mother's right, directly facing Caspian, separated by the table. What Caspian had done moments ago had truly traumatized Callista. Until now, no one had ever dared to touch her intimate parts, but Caspian."Are you sick? You look so pale," Kairos asked with great concern. He was always the first to immediately notice any changes in his daughter.Callista shook her head with a faint smile. She looked down at her empty plate.Lysandra touched Callista's forehead with the back of her hand. Her temperature was normal; there was nothing wrong with her daughter's health."Still stressed about college?" Kairos guessed. Callista always had unexpected experiences every time she had to go to campus. The day before, she fainted from forcing herself to go to college. The day before, she looked depressed. It seemed college was truly taking a toll on C
The bedroom door suddenly opened while Callista was selecting clothes in the closet. She had just finished showering. Her body was still slightly damp. Only a towel covered her from chest to thighs. Callista was quite surprised, because it was Caspian who opened the door. She usually locked the door tightly when she was showering. However, this time she forgot to lock it."Get used to knocking first!" Callista said, feeling both fearful and anxious.Although Caspian was her step-brother, she didn't know what kind of man he was. They weren't born from the same womb. They hadn't grown up together. During their time as a family, her relationship with Caspian hadn't been that close. She feared Caspian would do something untoward.Callista approached the door and tried to close it again. However, Caspian held the door shut. His strength was so strong, Callista couldn't do anything."If you want to talk, wait for me outside. I'll come down after I'm dressed," Callista said in a trembling vo
