CHAPTER 52
"You did a great job there, baby."
I smiled as I made circles on Caleb's chest. My head was resting on it while he was combing my hair with his fingers, kissing the top of my head from time to time. His tender kisses and fingers were soothing and I couldn't help but to close my eyes as the Advil I took this morning started losing its effect and now my head was aching again, add what had just happened at the entrance of Zamora Newscasting Agency.
The beat of his heart was like a soft rhythm in my ears, I couldn't help but to smile even more as I hear it. I was starting to get sleepy, so I didn't respond to him and just listened as he talk, complimenting me.
"I'm glad to see you fighting back and not letting them have the satisfaction of defeating and ruining you, baby. I like your bravery, fierce and hot."
"It wasn't easy though." I wasn't able to help myself help but to respond when he complimented me for being brave. "You know, I'm afraid o

I lay on his naked chest as his bit callous hands caressed my bareback. With our position, I could feel and hear his serene heartbeats amidst the silent room. Our breaths were even and equal, our eyes dropped closed as we relaxed after several rounds of lovemaking. The first ones were hard and rough, punishing and yearning. And the last ones were soft and gentle as he whispered how much he loved me."Baby?""Hmm?"Moving to look up at him, I found him staring lovingly at me and without a word, kissed my forehead that brought a smile to my face. My hand that was resting on his chest moved to caress his cheek, my smile widen, realizing that he kept what he said to me when I told him I don't like men with stubbles and mustaches. He kept his face clean."You know what, baby, I could spend the whole night without sleeping if that means staring at your angelic smile," he mumbled.I chuckled, "Oh, Caleb. Don't say that. I could see it in you

Thankfully, later on, that day, Geraldine called back and told me she was on her way home. CBNews fired her from work just because of what happened in the bar when it doesn't have something to do with her as one of CBNews' journalists anymore. She was off duty that night and whatever happened at the bar does not have something to do with her duty as a journalist.But then, we were talking about the dirty company of CBNews, so, it wasn't surprising that they did that to her. And for sure, they gave her a feedback that no other news company would accept her. A character reference that was manipulated with lies. That's just how they worked.When I asked her if we could meet, she declined and I could feel it in her voice that she didn't want to talk to anyone for a while. Of course, she probably felt bad after being fired to work and knowing what CBNews did to her character reference. Just like me, Geraldine was a self-supporting individual, so she needed to

Caleb Craige'sCal.She just simply shortened my name, she didn't make her own endearment for me. It was damn far from that, she didn't even think of calling me Cal as an endearment for me. But then, here I was, still smiling and blushing because my girlfriend just called me Cal because Hazel shortened my name.If someone would find out why I was smiling, they would probably think of me as a shallow man whose happiness was too small. But then, we were talking about Hazel here, my woman. There was no small thing when it comes to her. Everything was the best when it was Hazel we were talking about."Caleb?"I looked at the door that was half-open where Mirna was waiting. I motioned her to come in, she entered holding another pile of folders that I obviously needed to review and sign. I have been busy with paperworks since Hazel and I came back from our vacation and some meetings with the board regarding the recent issue that circulated.

Hazel Quin'sSince the call ended, I stayed silent and stopped reviewing. My mind was clouded with thoughts and I couldn't concentrate. I was just focused on the thought of Caleb's secret. He was finally giving it to me, he was doing it in his will.My eyes then looked at the screen of my laptop where my first draft of the article about Caleb's secret that I was supposed to write. It was still incomplete, of course. The last draft that I had was the time when he met his father again and after that, I was able to continue it after things happened.His father.I remember the time when he cried on me while we were in the car, it was the first time he opened up to me about his backstory.

My girlfriend and soon-to-be wife. Those words made me smile and I wasn't able to suppress them anymore. I looked down as I suddenly felt shy towards the two sophisticated people in front of us. I didn't expect that I would smile genuinely wide to the point that my smile would almost reach my ear. "Aww, she looks shy. So, cute," I heard Athena giggled. And before I knew it, she was already beside me, pulling me to sit beside her. My eyes caught how Caleb secretly and stopped himself from shaking his head, then he sat beside me. The table was spacious enough for the four of us. Our sitting arrangement wasn't what I was expecting. Instead of sitting across with Athena and Mr. Vanzanth, Athena and I were sitting across from Mr. Vanzanth and Caleb. Now, it looked like Athena and I knew each other for a long time and we were having a date or a simple meet-up with our suitors. "Before you two start with your business matters, do you w

I already knew that Caleb did not come from a wealthy family. Everything that he has right now were all because of the years of his hard work. He already told me that he was once malnourished and a scholar like me. Without the scholarship offered from the school, we wouldn't graduate, we wouldn't be where we were right now. And about his family status, I was well aware of that. He has told it to me when we attended an event and he saw his father unexpectedly. Mr. Cellio Craige, Caleb's father that he hated the most. He loathed the old man, he blamed him for everything that happened to him and his mom. Everything about that was clear to me already. But what I didn't expect was his situation before was harder than I thought. It was worse than mine. I was a struggling scholar as well who needed to work while studying to sustain my other needs because the funds I receive from my scholarship do not cover all of my expenses such as food and personal needs

"Please, I hope you would understand him. It wasn't easy, Hazel. He didn't want that to happen. So, please, don't leave him just for that thing. He needs you, your understanding, and your love. I could see that he is deeply into you, because if he is not, then he wouldn't take the risk to tell you his secrets beyond." Those words have been with me since Athena told me that. And until now, I was still thinking about it. From her words and Caleb's uncertainty to tell me what he was hiding, I knew it wasn't something small, not something easy. "I have to ready myself for it," I uttered. "What is it, baby?" I blinked when I heard Caleb's voice and felt his hand on top of mine. That's when I realized I have been thinking too much again. Sighing, I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder. "Are you thinking about what Athena said to you? What did she say anyway? I've been anxious since you two left, you know. Even Vander felt

"I love you, Cal." A small smile appeared on my lips as I whispered those words to him. We have just gone into a soft and tender lovemaking. The moment we reached his penthouse, he kissed me tenderly until we reached our room. "I love you too, baby." He closed his eyes after mumbling those words and in less than five minutes, he was asleep. I sighed and covered ourselves with the blanket, staring at the blank ceiling after. The room was silent, only our breaths could be heard and my loud heartbeat. Athena's words were now coming back to me again as well as the anxiousness and fear in Caleb. I looked at him who was now sleeping and sound, I could feel that day by day, his worry would grow bigger until Friday comes. Friday, our date. On Friday, I would find out everything and he was worried that I might leave him because his secret was something that should not be taken easily. And what could that be? I spent
