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
Orphan Callistaa No matter how far you go...
The sun was up and its light was coming into his room through the undraped curtains of the opened windows. Cain woke up because of it. He squinted his eyes closed and blinked away a few times and then opened them fully again slowly after a while. Streching out a little, a toothy grin made its way to his beautiful lips as he reminisced yesternight's activities. His hands went to the other side of the bed only to find it cold and empty. He frowned when he did not find Cali sleeping beside him. His gaze then fell on the wall clock and it read six in the morning. Maybe she was in the bathroom, or closet. She must be there. He thought for a while and then made his way out of the bed. "Cali, are you inside?" He called out softly as he turned the doorknob of the bathroom. When nothing came in return, he opened the door and found no one inside. "Cali? Where are you?" He called for her out loud. But in vain. She was nowhere in the house. She was gone. He plopped on the couch in the living roo
Orphan Callistaa Her misunderstanding
"Cali, do you want to go out? Come on, let us go out for some fresh air. You are in there for the whole day now. Open up! Do you need me to call a doctor?" Came in Harold's voice from the other side of her room's door which was locked from the inside. Cali sighed in frustration. "No, Harold. I will be alright. It is just a headache. Please, I just need some rest. That is all." She replied from inside. "Okay, but call me if you need anything, yeah?" She replied with a quick yes and he left her be afterwards. Cali sighed as she heard footsteps retreating from outside her room and plopped down on her bed. She looked at her mobile phone which was now switched off. She had to switch it off because of a certain someone who was blowing up her phone with calls and text messages since the morning. She did not want to respond to him yet, so she just turned her phone off. It was now six in the evening and she was getting bored. Since she had nothing else to do right now other than just layi
