I have known already that Caleb never wanted everything to happen between him and Callista. Neither of them wanted that to happen, they were both victims of broken families and poverty. But that was something I failed to understand the first time I found out about their affair. I was blinded by disgust and I was too shallow to understand that. "I do understand that you weren't expecting it and that you wouldn't understand it immediately. But what I didn't expect was what you did. I really thought that you have already gotten rid of that plan of yours." I was muted as Caleb told me how he didn't expect everything. He was shattered and broke when he found out that I told everyone about what I found out, though it wasn't me who published the article, I was still the one who wrote it. And he was right. We couldn't do anything now but to face everything because it was already here. Though we could have prevented it from happening, I could've prevented it if I wasn't reckless. "I'm

"Why does she have to go in now? Can't she see that I have so much on my plate now?" Caleb sighed heavily after that. He just finished his call with his mother and by the look on his face, I knew it wasn't a good news. "Is there anything wrong?" I asked though it was obvious. He glanced at me then shook his head, "It was mom and Mirna. They weren't up with the idea of still going with you even after all that has happened." "Oh," That was the only thing that I could say. I knew from the start that Mirna doesn't like me and now, Callista too. Now I knew it was what I was feeling the first time I met her; she didn't like the idea of Caleb being with me because of what happened to them. And with that thought, the question that I've been dying to ask for came back to me. I looked at Caleb first whose brows were still creased in stress before taking a deep breath and asked him. "Cal, if you don't mind, may I ask something about you and Callista?" He didn't seem to be taken a

Caleb Craige's It was true that in a span of a few days, Hazel was able to familiarize herself with the city. She was a fast learner after all, so, it wasn't that surprising. But still, I could help to be amazed. Hazel was the one who led our tour after we confirmed a schedule for her check-up on one of the best ob gynes that I found in New York. Unfortunately, the ob gyne wasn't available today and we were scheduled to visit her tomorrow. And because of that, Hazel decided for us to take the whole day to tour and hang out around the city. "You'll be tired and it would be bad for the baby," I argued before we went out. Rolling her eyes, she responded, "We'll tour around the city, so, of course, I'll be tired after. But it doesn't mean that I can't do it, I'll be taking a rest after. And besides, you'll be there to carry me in case I don't want to walk anymore." Her confidence was turning me on and driving me crazy even more. It has been a while since I saw this side of her.

Caleb Craige's "Wow, I'm glad to hear that." I smiled and nodded at Athena who was now with me. Hazel was still sound asleep as I watched her. It was just seven in the morning though, so, it wasn't a problem. She'll wake up anytime from now. Athena went here at six and the moment she arrived, I told her everything that happened yesterday. She didn't know anything because she was preoccupied with something— no, someone. Her boyfriend, Evander Vanzanth followed her here and bombarded her after a few days of giving her a cold treatment. Though I wanted to ask her more about that, she chose not to talk about it and instead, focused on what happened yesterday. I told her what I did to mom and she was glad to hear that finally, I could say to myself that I was free from her. That our past affair won't hinder me anymore. "But... it was still kind of disrespectful to talk to her like that and pushed her. But then, you just protected Hazel. Your mom was the one who's at fault anyway.

Hazel Quin's Caleb's tired body collapsed on the bed the moment we came home. It didn't take him long to fall asleep, he didn't even bother to change. Sighing, I moved and started undressing him and changing his clothes with a pair of sweatpants and a white t-shirt so that he would be comfortable as he sleep. He was slightly moaning as I changed his clothes but was unconsciously moving along with my commands, making my task easier. It wasn't surprising that he would be this tired. I knew what he has been doing since he arrived in New York. He was working almost all of the time while taking care of me and slowly putting everything back in to place. It may not look like I knew it because I was always asleep due to pregnancy hormones, but whenever I was awake, I could see the dark circles and his eyes. And whenever I would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, I would see him working and focused on his laptop. His workload was too much now that Mirna wasn't helping him any
