Orphan Callistaa She's back
The Russells' private jet had just landed. She was back in the country. Feeling full of nerves, she could not help but tap her leg on the floor impatiently. What was she impatient for? She did not know herself. Maybe for this dreadful week to pass quickly so that she could get over with this and could go back to her seclusion again. But she knew it was not going to happen. Someday she had to take over their business and for that, she had to stay here. Her father must had noticed her anxiety, so he came up to her and held her in his arms, rubbing her back in a soothing way. "What happened, princess? You look pale. Is something bothering you?" He asked gently patting her head. She looked up at her father's soft eyes with her anxious ones. She shook her head at him slowly. "No, dad. It is just that...will I be handle all of this by my own?" She had her doubts but not on her ability to do business but on her heart which still could not seem to forget that one person whom she had ran fro
Orphan Callistaa The Russells' party
The blue metallic sedan screeched infront of the office building. A man came out from the car and rushed into the building with urgency, not even bothering to take his bag out of it. On his way to his office, his employees greeted him morning but he was not paying them any heed. Rude! That was what they called him. Before, he was sure arrogant but rude? In the last few months, he had not talked to anyone nicely. He had become a walking ticking time bomb which could explode at any time and on anyone. Mr. Cain Hutton had became a rude, arrogant jerk. To everyone. And the reason was...his wife. His wife had ran away from the past nine months. And he was going bonkers on everyone because he was unable to find her till now. But today was different because the private investigator whom he had hired to find the whereabouts of his wife, had called him this morning informing him that he had something new to tell him. So now, he was in a hurry to get to him who was waiting for him in his office.
Orphan Callistaa Horace returns
Standing infront of the mirror in her room with two dresses in her hands, she contemplated on which one she should wear for the party tonight. But even after ten minutes of standing there just holding the dresses, she grew frustrated and flung the dresses onto her bed behind abd then sat there with her hands on her lap. She could not help but fiddle with her fingers anxiously. "Dad, who all are going to come to the party tonight?" She remembered asking her father in the morning. "All our business associates, stock holders, board members and employees are coming. After all they will see my daughter, their future boss, for the first time tonight." Her father had replied her chuckling, feeling proud. But she could just give him her best fake smile in return since she was not sure if Cain Hutton was coming or not. She knew that the CH Advertising and Design was also one of their business associates. So, she guessed he would be there. And for that, she was telling herself that it was alri
Orphan Callistaa They meet again
It was six o'clock in the evening now. Cali was in her room getting ready for the party that was about to commence in one hour. She was feeling more and more jittery as the time was coming nearer thinking that she would have to face her past tonight. Even Harold, who was her supposed present, was here now and would attend the party with her. When she came back to the mansion with Harold earlier, her father was not quite happy about him staying here for a week but Cali somehow convinced him saying that he was new here and did not even inform her before coming here. So, he allowed her to let him stay but he was given another room which was on the ground floor so that he would stay away from Cali, whose room was on the second floor, as much as possible. She sighed and tried to push all her thoughts to the back of her mind for now and continued with her make up. After debating for more than half an hour, she had decided to wear a wine red spaghetti strap gown. She was now applying primer
Orphan Callistaa The day she left him
Climbing up the stairs, she tried her best to keep her calm just for a little more while and when she reached the last stair to the second floor, she leaned onto the railing holding it tightly in her grip and released a breathe of relief which she was unaware of herself. Bringing her right hand infront of her eyes, she just stared at it. Their handshake from just a moment ago came into her her mind. How much she had missed his touch in all those months! Her eyes became watery remembering those good times which could not become permanent for her. A strangled sob left her lips and she cradled her hand against her chest and she went further to go inside her room. Sitting infront of her dressing mirror, she looked into it to find Callistaa staring back at her and not Cali. She was not Cali Ruth anymore. "I can never have you in my life, Cain. You are not meant to be mine. And...(She sniffled) it hurts." She sobbed. She thought that she was over this. She was over him after secluding hers
Orphan Callistaa That trouble-causing letter
Sitting inside her room while just scrolling through her phone, she got pretty bored so she decided to peek at the outside party a little bit to see if Cain was gone or not. She knew that he never liked such party before as well and would always leave after meeting and talking to some people. So, she was guessing that he must have left the party already. Getting out of her room, she started stalking down the stairs. She would not go all the way down just yet. She would first make sure that Cain was not present in the party anymore by staying on the staircase of the first floor and then she would join the rest. When she was at the foot of the staircase leading to the first floor, her eyes landed on the one and only man from whom she was hiding till now. Cain Hutton. What was he doing here? She saw him standing at the last stair leading to the first floor and then his gaze fell on her. Her eyes widened and as she turned around and was about to go back upstairs, she forgot that she was w
Orphan Callistaa The truth of Harold
"I know what I have to do, mom. And I do not need you lecturing me every fucking time." He replied to his mother angrily. "Watch your language and tone when you talk to me, boy. I am your mother." His mother bit him back over the phone. He sighed. "I am sorry, mom. But you have trust in me, right? I will never disappoint you. And when I said that I will marry Callistaa Russells, I mean it. You do not have to worry." He explained his mother calmly and confidently. "Ofcourse my boy, I trust you that is why I have sent you to her and not your brother. You know, he is too soft for doing something like that." She said and he hummed in agreement. "But remember one thing, do not, and I mean, do not get involved with that girl in any romantic way. You know about Mr. Russells' past involvement with the mafia, don't you?" "Yeah, mom. I know." He knew actually who Mr. Russells was in the past. Though he had left the mafia since a long time, everyone was aware that no one could leave the mafia f
Orphan Callistaa The Contract
The sun was up and its glares were coming into her room through the curtains that were draped loosely on the window. Cali woke up from her sleep with dark circles under her eyes as she slept around two in the morning and had woke up at six in the morning. She could not sleep because she was thinking all night about just one person. One man. But what was the use of her thinking about him when he could never be hers. She sighed and got up from her bed after just laying there for ten minutes or so. She needed to get ready for the office. She would be joining the Russells' group of companies officially today, but hopefully not for more than one week. And then, she would request her father to transfer her to their abroad branch where she could work in peace. Because here, peace was not something in her reach. After taking a long shower and doing all her morning routine, she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. Then she heard the sound of her bedroom door opening and came in Har
