CALLUM'S PLIGHT

Callum’s pov

I had no idea what to say, the woman took us by surprise. I could not blame her for asking such questions, I had been so concerned about making sure Sonya was alright, I didn’t realize we were in an awkward position. I looked towards Sonya’s direction, she seemed as shocked as I was from what the woman said.

“We are business partners” Sonya blurted out, I looked towards her again, and this time our gaze met.

“We are just business partners” she said again, this time to my face.

“Excuse me!” She added, making her way out of the gathering. I watched as her heels met with the concrete floor, as she reached for the door, heading out.

The woman before me gave a shy smile, making her way out of the diner as well. I clenched my fists, cursed underneath my breath. I was livid, how could she have said such a thing?

I did not understand what Sonya was playing at and it made me frustrated. One moment, she is calling for us to meet up over something that can be car

    Please Don’t Find Out 2Callum’s povThe chirping sound of the birds were the only things I could pay attention to as I walked out into the garden. As much as I tried not to think of it, Amanda’s words kept ringing in my head. She had sounded so livid.“What did she mean by those words” I thought to myself, wondering if my previous doubts about her were true or not.I headed back in, preparing to head out. I picked up my phone, calling Stephen to know where he was. I needed to seek his advice. He is the only one I can trust with personal matters.“What’s your emergency?” He said as soon as I walked into the door, his eyes teasing.“You seem put together, I expected Amanda to rip your head out” he continued, smiling as he poured us a glass of whiskey each. I was going to complain about the liquor that early in the morning, but I really needed it“Amanda said she will ruin Sonya,”I blurted out, swallowing the drink I had in my mouth.“Well that’s new”Stephen said, filling my cup again.

    PLEASE DON’T FIND OUTSonya’s pov.I could not bring myself to face Callum after I remembered our child that was miscarried. The tears threatening to fall from my eyes since Callum answered that reporter, fell freely as I drove home. I hid the truth from him, I couldn't stop the tears, I hated myself so much at that moment for drinking to stupor that night.I had been too scared of the scandal it would cause if the media found out I got pregnant out of wedlock and for my ex husband. I was also scared of having another child for Callum, because of how he treated me the last time.I dabbed at my tears, sniffling. Stacy patted my shoulder, comforting me.“It’s hard Stacy” I said amid tears, I pulled the car over at a corner on the road as my eyes were now blurry from the tears.“It’s fine Sonya, it will all go away with time” Stacy said, leaning in, she cupped my cheek, wiping the tears from my eyes.“Let me drive,”she said, pulling the car door open as we exchanged seats. The rest of t

    DOWN MEMORY LANESonya’s pov.The drive to Mr Collins campaign was a quiet one, allowing me time to reminisce on my dinner with Callum. I tried to wave it out of my head and not think about it, but it seemed impossible.When Stacy had told me we had a show at a campaign event, I immediately agreed to get my mind off the event of the previous night.I could not tell Stacy how I had reacted to Callum, I pictured the face of the woman who had asked if Callum and I were a couple, thankful that no media person was there when she had asked.My face flushed from the thought of her question yet again.When we arrived at the parking lot of the campaign’s center, my heart skipped a beat, I saw a jet black car that looked exactly like Callum’s. I froze,“Is he here?” I asked myself in a whisper.My gaze turned towards Stacy, who was not getting her things together to go in.“Stacy, do you have any idea if Callum will be here” I asked, looking from her to the car.“No Sonya,” she responded, “Why

    MEETING GONE WRONGSonya's povI walked into the restaurant, my eyes scanning the environment for Callum as I was being directed to my reservation. I took my seat, glancing at the watch on my wrist. I got there ten minutes-delinquent, but still Callum was nowhere to be found. I glanced towards the door yet again, but still no sign of him. I took a deep breath, heading to the restroom to retouch my makeup. I could not help the feeling of nervousness I felt as I waited for Callum.“Why am I so Tauten,” I said to myself as I stood before the mirror, reapplying my gloss and recalling the previous night. The look on Callum's face when he said those things were genuine.“Could he really mean those things?” I asked myself, looking lost into the mirror as my hands trailed my collarbone.“No Sonya, you are just overthinking, you are just going to talk about the refund and that’s all” I said to myself more reassuringly, heading out of the restroom and back to my seat.I paused in my tracks wh

    WHAT HAVE I DONECallum’s pov“Em, that was a mistake” I said leaning in close to the microphone.“Well thank you everyone for coming and have a good night” I said, leaving the stage hastily as I headed straight to the car.I was in disbelief. Sonya clouded my thoughts so much I just publicly humiliated myself.I sat in the car, slamming my hands against the steering repeatedly as I waited for Stephen. I knew I was never going to hear the end of it from him.I started imagining what the media will say about it by morning, how much tantrum Amanda would throw when the news got to her.“I am screwed!” I muttered through gritted teeth. The car door swung open, Stephen took his seat on the passenger's seat next to me. I could tell from the look on his face that he was fighting the urge to laugh so hard.“Laugh all you want Steph.” I said, wallowing in my own disdain. The surge of laughter that erupted from Stephen had me clench my fist.I was so mad at myself and at him.“Sonya probably th

    LURKING GUILTCallum’s pov“Why did I feel guilty kissing her?” I thought to myself as I poured a glass of liquor. I walked out into the garden. The chill breeze washed on my face, making me recall my night with Sonya.I blinked hard, shaking my head. “I cannot keep doing this to Amanda,” I said to myself, but a part of me knew I was in too deep. Although Sonya was far from me, I was happy with where we were in reconciliation.I stared up in the sky, thinking of what she was up to, wondering if she was also thinking of me. I chuckled as I chugged down what was left in my glass, going back to sleep.Next morning, I headed straight to the apartment I had met Soya. I put a call through to Stephen to meet up with me there. After what had happened with Amanda, I could not bring mys to face her. A huge part of me felt sad for how I was treating her, but I just couldn’t help it. All I can think of is Sonya. Her entire existence clouds my thoughts.I head straight to my usual room on gettin

    CAN’T DO THISCallum’s povI took a long drive to the penthouse, after meeting with Stacy, it was clear she was not going to tell me whatever was going on.I took a deep sigh, observing the scenery as I sat by the pool. I could not help but wonder if Sonya was not doing ok.As much as I tried not to think of her, a hinge part of my mind kept drifting back to her. I dived into the pool, needing the wave of ease that I felt when my body met the water. I had this penthouse remodeled to my taste a while back. It was my safe heaven and I only visited it when I needed time alone.I came out of the water, moving to take a towel when I noticed my phone vibrate. I reached for it, my brows furrowed when I saw the caller. I could not make sense of who it was that was calling.I answered the call, holding my breath as I waited for the caller to speak.“Callum, I am sorry for how our last meet up went” the voice sounded familiar, I tilted my head trying to recall whose voice it was.“Stacy??” I s
