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
Orphan Callistaa Under someone's discreet watch
"Guess we have to go to my penthouse now." She narrowed her eyes at him as he said that. She was thinking if it was one of his plans to prove that she was Cali. Not liking the idea of it, she shook her head at him and stood up while grabbing her hand bag. "I am not going anywhere, Mr. Hutton. Let us reschedule this meeting for tomorrow. I am leaving now. Have a good day." She said blankly and was about to get out of the room, when she heard say,"We can't reschedule this meeting, Ms. Russells. You see, I would be out of station for a few days and I am leaving tomorrow itself. So, I would say that we should go to..." "No, Mr. Hutton. You see, I am quite busy today. But as you will be out of station, we will have to do this meeting." She said cutting him off. His eyes lit up on hearing what she said. "So, shall we go?" He asked, expectantly looking at her. "Sure, Mr. Hutton. You may go to your penthouse and bring that file to the company. I will be there." She said and again started
Orphan Callistaa What am I doing here?
"Okay, I am coming there." She said and quickly went out of her cabin and towards the office cafeteria where Harold was waiting for her. But she was unaware that someone was watching her discreetly. The man who had a dark stubble on his chin, was watching her every move while standing behind the big indoor plant infront of her cabin with his face hidden behind the magazine in his hands, now came out of his hidding when he saw her going out of her cabin. He started following her to where she was going. "Sir, um...do you need something?" Asked a voice from his behind. He turned around and saw a lady standing there.Maybe, she was Cali's assistant. He thought. "Uhh...no...nothing. I was just planning on meeting your boss." He replied while scratching his nape. "Do you have an appointment with her, sir?" She asked again. And he shook his head in a no. "Then I am sorry, sir. You can't meet her without an appointment." She said giving an apologetic smile."Oh, that. Do not worry about t
Orphan Callistaa Nice Move
"What am I doing here?" She asked him, feeling utterly confused. Why the hell would he bring her to his penthouse? Was this another of his planning to know if she was Cali Ruth or not? Maybe....maybe he knew? No, that could not be. "You were supposed to be driving me to my house, not yours." She said while glaring at him. "He just shrugged his shoulders casually. "I was taking you to your mansion but then it started raining cats and dogs. And I could not drive while it was raining so hard, and since my house was nearer, I brought us both here." He explained. "And, by the way, it was nice knowing that you know that this is my house without me even telling you." He said and smirked at her. She gulped knowing that he was trying to make her confess the one thing she did not wish to. 'Hmm. Nice move, Mr. Cain Hutton.' She mumbled internally and then gave him a sweet smile. "Ofcourse, Mr. Hutton. After all, it does not take a genius to tell that this is your house as the pictures hangi
Orphan Callistaa Even if he knew
"Alright, you are Callistaa Russells." Suddenly Cain said. Cali looked up at him in the eyes, visibly shocked. "Huh?" She could not utter anything else from her mouth, still shocked. Did he just say that? Was he saying that he finally believed that she was Callistaa Russells and not his wife, Cali Ruth? An unknown feeling crept up her chest, She felt sad and disappointed. But was not that what she wanted to happen? Then why was she feeling like this? Now that he had finally believed that she was not his wife, he would move on, and that...that thought alone gnawed at her heart. She gulped the thickness in her throat and faked cough. "Sorry, what did you say?" She asked while trying to show him her indifference. But he had seen enough. He had already noticed the look of hurt and insecurity in her beautiful heterochromic eyes. How he wished she would have told him about them before. 'Don't you worry, baby. I am not giving up on you. Never.' He smiled as he thought to himself. "I said
Orphan Callistaa His mom
"Here is your favourite chocolate smoothie." Cain placed a glass of smoothie on the table infront of her. She stared at him coolly with her arms crossed against her chest lazily. Looking out of the window, she saw that rain had already stopped. "Come on, start eating. Do you want some waffles?" He asked coming back to sit next to her with his own plate and glass. She shook her head in a no and started eating feeling a bit hungry now. Also, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She did not wish to stay close to him anymore. "Um..do you like my smoothie?" He asked trying to get her into some conversation with him when he noticed her eating quietly. She had really changed in these past months. She was never this quiet before. She only nodded at him still eating her muffin quietly. "What happened? You are so quiet." He finally asked. She gave him an annoyed look. " As you can see I am eating, Mr. Hutton. I don't like talking while I eat." She said through her gritted teeth.
Orphan Callistaa Lunch date?
"Hello, Mrs. Williams." Said Cali while fiddling with her fingers nervously. "Hello, my dear. And please call me Raven. It makes me feel more old." Said the elderly woman with a sweet smile on her face. She smiled at her."Okay." "How was your journey? You must be feeling tired." Raven shook her head at her giving her a bright smile."No, my sweet. I am feeling just fine. You know, I was so excited to meet you from the day he told me about you two and finally I am meeting you." She said excitedly. Harold looked at them both in the mirror of the car as he was driving. Cali just managed to give her a tight lipped smile when she mentioned them two. They were now in the car going back to the mansion after picking up Harold's mother from the airport. "Mom, I think you should let your mouth rest a bit now. You are talking ever since you came. And that way, Cali's ears could rest too." He said and chuckled lightly. His mother clicked her tongue and glared at him."You keep quiet, boy. You
Orphan Callistaa I love you and just you
"By the way, what are you still doing here?" Asked Cali as she squinted her eyes at him. Cain raised one of his eyebrows at her as if giving her a look that said, 'What the hell with that question?' "I mean, were you not supposed to be to out of station for some days? Then why are you still here having this meeting with me?" She asked him clearly. He nodded his head slowly with his chin planted on his palm as he propped his arm on his elbow leaning forward on the table. "About that...I was all ready to go but then the meeting there suddenly got canceled at the last moment. So, here I am having this meeting with you. I hope that answers your question?" He stared at her as she nodded at him. A lie, a complete lie was what it was. He had never planned to go anywhere in the first place. He had said that to her just because he wanted to spend time with her. And he would do it again if he needed to. 'I sure have become shameless.' He suddenly chuckled out loud at that thought. She gave him
