CHAPTER 57
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 wRelated chapters

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

Hazel Quin's It has been a few days since Caleb told me about our date and that he will finally tell me everything on that day. It has been also a few days since my talk with Athena since she told me a glimpse of Caleb's teen and adulting life. Since that day, she has been in touch with me, following me on all of my social media accounts and even saving my phone number on her phone. We have been talking during our free time for a while now but it was not until I officially started in ZNA TV which was the day before yesterday. The staffs and Mr. Zamora himself welcomed me warmly, the same goes with Geraldine who was now with me. After Len went and talked to her the night she got fired on CBNews, she came to Caleb's penthouse and we talked about the new job Caleb prepared for us. She was so thankful to him that she nearly sainted him, but despite the gratitude radiating through her and her eyes that day, there was something with her that I couldn't figure out wha

"Baby, are you okay?" I was taken back from my sentiments when Caleb held my hand and softly caressed it. Taking a deep breath, I leaned my back on the car's chair and closed my eyes. We were in the backseat of his Ferrari, Henry was driving with his colleague in the passenger seat. "Don't mind me, I was just thinking of something." "Is it about work?" "No, not work." I shook my head. "It's about Geraldine. I think she's hiding something from me." "Hiding something from you? Like what?" I sighed and told him about what happened this afternoon and about the cryptic text from Stephanie. I have been thinking about it since I saw the message, it was making me feel something like I should watch Geraldine from now, together with the questions in my head that I wanted to ask her so bad but I didn't want to for some reason. There was a part of me that does not want to know about it. "Do you want me to ask Henry's t

It didn't cross in my mind that Caleb rented a whole restaurant for us tonight and it is in the main branch of Cuisine De Winzlet. Unlike when I went here with him a few days ago, Cuisine De Winzlet looked different. Tonight, the tables around weren't present and only a set of table for two in the middle, covered in white silk, surrounded with candle lights and rose petals was there. There were also candle lights around and rose petals on the floor, the main lights were switched off, making the whole restaurant dim. And on the background, I could hear a soft piano playing an old piece written by one of the greatest piano composers in history. It was so pleasing and relaxing to hear, perfect for the theme that Caleb thought of. "Now where is he?" I asked, roaming my eyes around. "Looking for me?" A smile made its way on my lips when I heard him from behind and immediately, I turned around, and there he was, my handsome and loving CEO. He wa

Caleb Craige's Shock was evident on Hazel's face as I flipped the album open. Her mouth parted as her eyes settled on the first few photos in there and I could instantly sense that she wanted to ask so many questions, but stopped herself as she flipped on the next pages. And while flipping on the pages, recognition slowly reflected on her eyes, a sign that she already knew what was on the photos. Slowly as well, my chest started tightening, it was like someone was gripping my heart. My whole body went stiff and cold as negative thoughts clouded my mind. But then, I had to do this, I knew I had to do this. Even if I was already turning frozen, I forced myself to move and played the videos waiting on the laptop. Her fingers that were about the flip the album on the next page stopped midway as her eyes went up from the album. Then, her mouth that was parted, parted even more when the video started playing, at the same time, memories from those dark days

"Ohh," "Ahh," "Uhm," The sound of a woman moaning and at the same time sounding like in pain filled my ears the moment I stepped inside our small apartment and closed the door behind me. My brows furrowed upon hearing it, coming from the small bedroom where mom and I sleep through a second-hand double deck. I walked in its direction, confused about what I was hearing. When I was in front of the closed door, I pressed my ears on it and there I confirmed the sound of moaning and groans together with a sound of something like chains. "Aww," "Mom?" I called. No one would be here except for her, of course. She actually wanted to work, but with her current situation, working and going out would never be an option. I called her again and I was answered only by another set of moans. That's when I decided to barge in the room and see what was she doing. "Mom— oh, what the hell?" My mouth parted as my eyes
