CALISTA’S POV.Morning came beautifully and there was this joy in my heart as I woke up. I couldn’t explain the peace that filled my heart, but I also knew that there was peace in the house too, no sweat. Mrs. Flora, Mr. Loup, and Their daughter, Bella, had gone to the hospital last night to get Bella stitches, so it meant I was back to doing the house chores. Not bad though, I’m used to doing them anyway. I entered into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, splashed cold water on my face, and got ready to do my today’s duties. I changed into baggy shorts and a baggy shirt, packed my hair in a messy bun, and went about doing the chores. I cleaned up the living room first and then headed for the dining room. I cleared out the dining table and entered into the Kitchen and began to wash the dishes. Thirty minutes later I was done with the dishes, so I decided I was going to prepare breakfast and wait for them to be back from the hospital. If Bella came home and she didn’t see food to eat
CALLISTA My heart medicine jumped up to my throat but then I swallowed it back down maintaining a blank expression when I turned the back to face him, my eyeballs shooting at him like icicles. "I don't think I've had the flattering, pleasure Alpha Grayson." There was no way he could have remembered me, that would spell doom for my family and I was sure that he had called me Bella that morning after taking the drug I had put in his drink so this must be some kind of mistake. He didn't say anything until his strides brought him to our table and he settled down comfortably like a bird perched on its nest. "Oh is that so? And yet you were able to recognize me with ease," This had to be some kind of twisted joke, on one side of my table was the man that was supposed to be my husband and then the other was the one who had taken away my innocence. I fiddled with the flower that had been placed on our table and the others in the diner as decoration. "What can I say I have a g
CALISTA POVBarely had I been able to complete that thought when suddenly Alpha Grayson pointed out that his phone was ringing and Leon immediately picked it up, excusing himself. As he was returning back he had the most apologetic expression that had ever seen on any man's face when he said; "I'm really sorry, there's been an emergency at the hospital and I'm needed there," I felt like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle and my chest visibly fell, however, I didn't allow the same to happen to my smile. "Well if it's an emergency and you are the only one skilled enough to deal with it then you should be going ahead we can have other dates it's no big deal," He smiled down at me. "I promise that I'll make this up to you…" He said, picking up my manicured hand and it seemed like he was going to plant a kiss on it when suddenly for the second time Alpha Grayson pointed out that his phone was ringing. He reflexively reached for his phone again letting go of my hand, howev
Before I even managed to take 2 steps into the house Bella was already waiting for me with her hands crossed and then I looked at her and that sinister smile that was on her face then greeted her from the corner of my mouth not eager to get into any unnecessary fight.But as I was walking past her she immediately took some steps back making me stand in front of her again and then I raised my eyebrows in boredom."Bella, do you mind giving me some space to pass?""Come on lighten up a little bit I just wanted to ask you about your date I'm sure that it was wonderful,"Immediately, flashes of that said date went across my mind and then it hit me again that it has been included with my date practically standing me up midway and leaving me with that annoying man.But of course, I was not going to be stupid enough to tell her that."Oh my gosh, he even bought you ice cream and flowers now this guy is a keeper…"As she was saying that she was reaching her hands down to touch them but I imme
GREYSON POVThe night of my engagement finally came and with the way everyone was being prepped for the occasion, I could see that my parents were not going to let it slide if I lost interest in this engagement, not like I had a lot, to begin with in the first place.But I just have to do this so that they will stop nagging me and maybe also when the absurd rumors that were flying around me stop.Also, the Walters adopted daughter would make an interesting it was fun to tease, I knew that much I'm just watching her assist my trump was far more entertaining than it was supposed to be to me besides all that I was already ready for the night properly dressed for the occasion and I could already see the girls falling for me the moment I will step into the party but I wasn't really interested in any of them I have loved once and that was more than enough for meSuddenly my chest tightened up and as I closed my ideal eyelids my vision was painted with blood and I quickly opened them up. No,
Callista's POVI scratched up my nose in irritation after being made that comment that I couldn't come along with the rest of the water family for the engagement party, it wasn't my fault that even when I dressed as simply as I could I would still much more beautiful than her who was overcrowded with makeup and looked like a clown's bride.Mrs. Walters gave me one nasty look before walking over to her husband and whispering something viciously in his ear, then after a while, he sighed tiredly then he told Bella and his wife to go ahead outside and inside the car that you would join them very soon and then when they were gone, he came towards me with the sympathetic look on his face."Look my dear I know that you have made a lot of sacrifices for this family and I truly appreciate you for them""It's really nothing," I assured him, Lenny went ahead to see what he had intentionally wanted to do at the start."You see if it was only left to me I would have allowed you to come with us to
GREYSON POVI thoroughly enjoyed the look of lamppost shock that slipped into her features the moment she heard my voice and turned around to face me and a smirk came over my face as I took in the look of her eyes sparking like two rocks that have been smashed together.She was so very very fun to tease.It was when Leon spoke up that I realized that her house was interlocked with his and the site made my stomach twist up a bit though I didn't know why."Leon, I am so glad that you could make it, considering your extremely busy schedule and everything," Leon instantly waved his hand and laughed, obviously not sensing the tense atmosphere that was thickening between me and the girl in his arms."I suppose this was your date from last time, Caroline was her name right?""Callista," she instantly corrected through gritted teeth."And as much as I would love to catch up she said with as much sarcasm as she can muster from the looks of it."... but I'm sure that you will probably be busy w
GREYSON'S POVI was able to figure out the situation in about 5 seconds and after I realized the embarrassing position that I put myself in. In an instant, I let go of her but she still held onto me which left me in shock. "Are you okay?" I asked her looking down at her and her eyes looked up to mine holding them aggressively. "How can you be asking me that question when you are the one that almost had a panic attack?"My heart jumped to my throat and then instantly it sank down to my stomach at the same time."I wasn't having a panic attack," I instantly denied." I was actually...I was actually…" The words were pinned in my throat and no lie was able to slip through my lips for a while until I gathered myself a bit."I was just stressed," I insisted and she looked at me. "Are you sure that is all there is to it?" My mouth went wide with shock at seeing this side of her. Usually, whenever her eyes locked onto mine they were filled with intense anger but now they were soft and bea
