Alle Kapitel von The CEO who breaks me : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

Chapter 22. Late-night talks, wolfing down snacks during movies and the hundred kisses Callum and I shared when we’d watched a movie together or either When both of us had nothing to do were the insatiable habits I had developed recently.  As much as I dislike meeting Celine almost everyday,she wasn't that of a bad person excluding the part where she almost married my husband. When I returned home from work, Callum would be cooking dinner some days if he arrived earlier than me or vice versa. It was a convenient routine and definitely the definition of a happy married life.    However, Tonight was different. Callum would be leaving for Milan for his work, it was the first time he would be leaving the city after his accident,for his work,safe to say, I cry like a baby( in the shower, of course)   “Tess, I'll call you everyday, Don't look so sad” he says, pulling me flushed to his body. I gave him a strained smile and

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 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 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 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
