CHAPTER 18
PART II - Early life
On December 1, 2020, Mr. Caleb Craige attended a charity ball that was held by one of the prominent charities in Sydney. Knowing that Mr. Craige was a good samaritan to women and children, the kind CEO didn't think twice and accepted the invitation.

Mr. Craige at the entrance of the venue with his partner.Everyone was in awe and was confused at tho who he was with. It was unusual for the known Chief Executive Officer to attend a gathering with a partner as he was always seen alone and enjoying himself, sometimes with his business colleagues. Hence, everyone was asking and eager to know who was th

"We can start by showing off how efficient of a journalist and news reporter you are. Conduct a one-on-one interview with me about what happened last night, and do it live." Setting up the camera that he provided for the live interview that he proposed, I still couldn't believe that he actually told me to do a live interview with him regarding what happened on the ball we last attended. Of course, I agreed. It was an opportunity that I wouldn't miss, another step ahead of my ambition. This live interview would probably make a spark at my reputation as an ex-journalist and I knew there would be a possibility that newscasting companies would offer me to work for them if they would like the interview enough. But then, I knew CBNews already did something for other news companies not to hire me, so I doubt if that would easily happen. But I wasn't closing the door for possibilities. A lot of reporters from different companies have been try

"Geraldine, I swear, I was really hurt. I mean, I was excited about it, I really wanted that live interview to happen because it was another step for my dream, and then suddenly he needed to go because of an emergency meeting although we have already taken the day off!" I was fuming as I told Geraldine through video call how disappointed I was when someone from the company suddenly called Caleb and told him there was an emergency that he needed to attend to. And the person called just when we were about to start! Now, I was here, left alone in our room in full disappointment. Homer, Holmes, and Holen left with him because the interview was canceled, though Caleb still paid them for the inconvenience. He told me not to go with him and just rest because someone would take care of my work. Of course, it was the same person he was entrusting the whole company with whenever we were out. He doesn't need me as a secretary totally, that person could do it a

"Hazel, I am telling you, this is a sign that you should get rid of the ridiculous plan of yours. Just appreciate Caleb's efforts for you and embrace the life he is trying to give you. With the opportunity that he offered for you, you don't need to go with your plan anymore. It's easy to dispose of that now,""I don't know anymore, Geraldine."I put both of my hands on my face as I felt the frustration eating me up. Geraldine was able to give me her day off so that we could talk about the unexpected turns of events in my life at the moment. I too, took the day off and as usual, someone would be there to fulfill my duties as Caleb's secretary. It was none other than that someone he was trusting, that someone that I still don't know until now."Don't you think you are having a hard time letting go of that plan because you already instilled it in you?"And suddenly, I froze at her words and Geraldine took that as a sign to continue."You know, Hazel,

It was still early in the morning, the sun hasn't risen yet but here we were, dressing up after a shower to get ready for our trip today. As he promised, everything was set and all we had to do was to go there; Maldives.This would be our first out-of-town vacation and the last one before we focus on our works. Because I already accepted his proposal to get back in the industry where I really wanted to be, I was no longer his secretary and now he has a new one. Thankfully, it was a man and it seemed like they knew each other enough. My plan has been forgotten for a while, I didn't think about it for the last couple of days as I was focused on getting back in the journalism industry.Yesterday, Caleb's new secretary arranged a meeting with Mr. Zamora, the chairman of Zamora Newscasting Agency or ZNA TV in news televisions. As far as I know, the company was one of CBNews' greatest rivals. Just look how odds were going with me.Mr. Zamora was a tall and a bit fat m

"Well be going to Baros, Maldives, the world's most romantic resort."My mouth just hanged in astonishment the moment the helicopter we were flying in touched the white sands of Baros, Maldives. Caleb informed me that it would take us a 25 minutes ride through speedboat from Maldives International Airport to reach Baros, but because he was rich and he could afford it, we rode through a private helicopter.Through aerial view, I knew Baros would be a perfect place for our vacation but as soon as we landed and my feet touched the soft white sand, I knew it was more than perfect.Seeing the crystal blue water under the shining sun, I immediately felt the urge to run and swim on it, but I was suppressing myself to do so because of Caleb. I was just waiting for him to say that everything was good and I would immediately peel off my dress from my body.A wicked smile formed on my lips when I remember what I did before we went to travel here; I already put on my

We lied on the soft mattress while catching our breath after our lovemaking. Caleb was just half-naked because he didn't fully remove his khaki shorts and only pulled it downwards, while I was fully naked as I lie with my legs still widely parted.At first, we were tenderly kissing each other and it was like that for a while, but when he saw what I was wearing under my yellow sundress, he became wild and decided to have several rounds with me. The first ones in different positions were all rough and hard yet still pleasurable, while the two last ones were soft and pure which I was thankful for.I felt the bed dip on the side where he was lying, then his face came in the sight, his weight was being supported by his elbow. My eyes traveled from his eyes down to his torso, I just shook my head when I saw that his shorts were still pulled down and his pride was poking me."Don't tell me you are up for another round? Oh, Caleb, may I just remind you that we went here

Hazel Quin'sThe calmness of the blue sea illuminated by the sun was all I needed to finally calm down and forget about my disappointment because my expectation of what we would be doing here was opposite from the outcome. I was still feeling bad about it, but it wasn't as heavy as before.Caleb still hasn't come back and I was starting to overthink and get worried. Well, I knew either of the two won't do me good. It would be either I'll go and try to find him or stay here and wait for him to come back. The first choice was what I chose, so I stood up and took a deep breath.I don't anything about here, I wasn't able to do my research since Caleb didn't tell me where we were going exactly, he said he wanted it to be a surprise. I was surprised, yes, and was excited when the helicopter landed here and when I saw what this resort had to offer. But then, this happened, and now I had to walk around and find Caleb.But before I do anything, I went back to the

A sigh of relief escaped my lips when Caleb's sleeping figure welcomed me when I woke up. Unlike the previous nights we've shared, we didn't make love last night. We just laid down on the bed and talked about some stuff until we both fell asleep.For some reason, my heart was in bliss. It was like we were a couple, a married one, and we were on a honeymoon. Everything seemed so magical last night and I was hoping that it would stay the way it was for the rest of our stay here.It wasn't long until Caleb finally woke up and the moment our eyes met, a smile of contentment appeared on his lips. At the same time, he breathed my scent and sighed in relief."Ah, this makes me think of creating a house on a seaside," he mumbled.My eyes narrowed, "What?""I said I am thinking of creating a house on a seaside," he repeated. "And I want that house to be our home soon."A gasp escaped from my lungs hearing him say that. Seeing my reaction, he chuckled
