Chapter 23
Aiden walked ahead of me and pushed the door open, beckoning me to head inside. I complied.
He is fuming in rage, that wasn't hard to see. He didn't speak for the whole way from the bar to the villa. It was like he was saving for the worst, Whatever it is I was dreading it. I suddenly felt like a kid that was caught while stealing candy by her older brother but that was far from it. I wasn't a kid and Aiden wasn't my brother.
It was a coincidence for us to be in the same club,on the same night. I couldn't imagine where I would be if it wasn't for Aiden saving me from the clutches of stoned- Kaden.
I shuffled through the living room towards the Fridge, taking the cup from the cupboard,I poured myself some cold water.
I felt his gazed zeroed on my face, the air was thick with tension and suddenly I wanted the ground to swallow me up.
“Can
Chapter 24 For the rest of the dinner, I never looked his way although I could feel his stares burning at the side of my face. I had never drank so much alcohol in my life until tonight. And things went very wrong . .… ^° One moment I was drinking my ass off and the next thing I was dancing with Cider who is equally drunk as me. We giggled and made fun of the guests with hushed whispers completely ignoring the ignorant group of rude people. I was floating on Alcohol and Cider is flying in his head. I don't have the legit reason why Cider was dancing with me willingly, while disregarding the group of people who regarded the two of us as thrash but I enjoyed his company rather than an asshole who is a sorry excuse of a husband. Callum was furious, but he wasn't the only one. I was more furious and borderline disappointed.
Chapter 25 I groan when I hear the rhythmic beeping of my alarm . Another day has officially begun,I lazily toss the side of my leg and sit up, I take one more deep breath before I push myself off the edge and walk into the bedroom. I was sure of what I needed to do for the next hour. Callum was sleeping soundly when I walked out of the bathroom. My hair is a mess and I scooped up my brown locks in an untidy bun. Instead of my silk gown, I am wearing my old sports bra and shorts with my running shoes. I headed down the corridor and slipped out of the villa and ran down the street. There is a pearly glow in the sky, the rising sun casts a rosy hue across the morning sky. The air is moist from the dew drop and the wind blows across the street,the trees dancing gently with the rhythmic waves of the wind. I feel extremely fresh and my tense muscles seem to have slowly disappeared.
Chapter 26 I walked up to the familiar porch and the humble-looking cottage where I had grown up, the trees which I planted when I was only five years old had overgrown the barn and stood lonely in the night. The past few days, I was a mess with my thoughts consuming me. I know better than to let Celine’s word get to me but I can't seem to dismiss it fully. There was a constant annoying gnawing thought at the back of my stubborn thick head. I knew my mother would raise suspicion if I were to ask her now after I had promised her I wouldn't ever bring up the sad excuse of my biological father. So, I needed a different approach. It took a lot of willpower for me to just turn back and forget everything and continue living my life with my husband who showers me with love. What more do I need? The last thought was very tempting and convincing, but I was also curious to know what type of man my father was. I walked int
Chapter 27 He laid on top of my body, exhausted from the exercise we just did, our breath labored and we pant heavily. It was just another blissful night, Callum had arrived from his Work only an hour ago but he was in a rush today. Callum not only possessed the body of a Greek God, he was wild in bed and knew how to please his women. His touch was insatiable and no matter how many times we had sex, I would still crave for it. His finger trail up my thigh and grip my hips, I shivered uncontrollably. “Callum,” I called out, hearing his deep breathing. He hummed against my stomach. I slowly stroked his head and ran my finger through his brown hair. “You are fucking amazing everytime,” he rolled over and came up to sleep beside me. He propped his elbow and stared at my face,sideways. His fingers traced my skin, instinctively. There was a consta
Chapter 28 I groaned and rolled over the bed, there was a hammering headache and it felt like I fell down the stairs. It starts to throb and I find it hard to open my eye. “So, You're finally awake!” A voice boomed across the room. I moaned and caught my head between my palms. I looked up and there Callum sat on the chair with his leg-crossed and sipping on his coffee Casually,like watching a person sleeping is not at all creepy. “What’s the time?” I croaked out,I sat up and took a moment to squeeze the pain out of my head. I was failing miserably. “It’s ten, ” Callum replies, looking slightly annoyed. I stood up and walked past him holding my throbbing head between my palms. It is too early to deal with anyone, especially Callum who hates drinking as much as I hate betrayal. My stomach churned, bile rose up and it didn't take
Chapter 29 Aiden and Cassandra having a baby together is a lot to take in. Just a few months ago, they couldn't tolerate each other's presence and now they are sitting on my couch, cuddling and talking about the baby. Despite Their differences,their history of the incapability to withhold a single conversation without ending with an argument and fights, I was happy and wariness overpower the positive side. They are my two best friends and I don't want any complications and lose any of them. I may sound selfish but my two best friends don't have a good record when it comes to relationships but that doesn't mean I am not excited for the baby. “Tess,You won't believe this, Aiden won something” Cassandra exclaimed. Yep! I don't believe you guys are having a baby! “Why is it so unbelievable for me to win something?” Aiden stated the obvious,kissing Cassandra’s side of the head.&nb
Chapter 30 Callum Pov Tessa had something on her mind, I sensed it. My instinct was right when she started throwing the dishes in the sink, I was waiting for her to talk, yet she avoided me fully,not even giving me a chance to ask her what was bothering her. It drives me crazy sometimes but I knew it would be all okay after a few days but it's been one fucking week with her ignoring me like a plaque. I was starting to lose my sanity, I couldn't concentrate on my work let alone join a meeting, her ignorance is punishing me for some reason I don't understand. The sounds of glasses shattering snapped my attention to reality, glasses were broken and Tessa stood on the dishwasher with blood oozing out of her finger yet she just stood there, without blinking. It was like her body was immobile and she was in a daze. “Tessa!” The glare she sent me made me freeze. However, I was done
Chapter 31 “Tessa, I think we should talk,” it was Aiden who stomped past me and walked towards the kitchen counter. He looked furious and I got a feeling it had something to do with a certain someone. “Come in,” I whispered and walked back to where he sat. I continued with my cooking, flipping the fried potato like a chef. I was waiting for him to talk. My own issues with my husband makes me depressed and I wasn't sure if I can handle his problems. “Cassandra is a fucking tease, Do you know he kissed her ex-boyfriend yesterday! I thought she was in love with me!” typical Cassandra. I know for a fact that she fell in love with Aiden in the short period and she was scared. But I can either be wrong or be seeing things the wrong way? “She loves you,” I said. “If she doesn't love you, she won't be happy with the pregnancy” it was the truth, I always
