CHAPTER 50 (Part I)
 The meeting place was in Caleb's office. It was supposed to be on the restaurant on the ground floor of the building, but then, there were still reporters waiting outside. They weren't as many as before but we would still have a hard time getting away from them once they see us. Surely, they would be completely gone after a week of not getting anything from us unless Stephanie would do something about it again and that's what she would do for sure after what happened last night.Besides, with the press conference that we would have with ZNA TV, they would still try to get something from us. That wouldn't be a problem anymore then, we would just wait till the fire dies. And then I could start with my new job in ZNA TV which we would also talk about tonight.Henri's team would escort me on the way to Craige Inc. as per Caleb's instructions to them. Since the day we came back here and the press started bombarding us, the security team was now always escortin

CHAPTER 50 (Part II)
 There were still reporters in front of Craige Inc.'s building as well and when they saw the LaFerrari where I was in, they started running in our direction, their cameras and microphones ready. But then, we headed to the parking lot and it was heavily guarded, only the employees of Craige Inc. were allowed to come in.Like gentlemen, they opened the car door for me and I stepped out of the car. A small smile was on my lips as I roamed my eyes around the parking lot and the exclusive spot for Caleb's cars. I felt deja vu upon remembering my first day here and I brought my Toyota. It looked so small and cheap compared to Caleb's LaFerarri.And as for my Toyota's being, I sell it on a second-hand car shop and saved the fund on my bank account for emergency purposes. Caleb lend me one of his expensive cars, so, I didn't need my old Toyota anymore."Elmar will come up with you, Ma'am. You two will be met up by our colleagues who were now up, guarding Mr

CHAPTER 50 (Part III)
 The two of them were still surprised with my sudden determination, until now, they couldn't still believe that I decided to take the press conference now, hence here we are, getting ready on one of ZNA TV's studios. Mr. Zamora came with us and personally led the preparation to make sure that everything would go smoothly and accordingly.Holding the prepared script for us, I read the lines again. Mr. Zamora and Caleb already talked about this, hence Mr. Zamora was able to prepare the script sooner. It wasn't literally a script of what we would say, just the chosen questions that the reporters of ZNA TV would ask us. This was what Caleb was talking about, he controls what would come out to the public and what would stay with him, he controls what to let the public see and know."Sir, we will now post our teaser for your press conference."Caleb nodded to the staff who informed us about the teaser release, we would start one and half hours from now. T

CHAPTER 51
 "Hazel!""Miss Quin!""Calm down,""Please, come back,"They have been calling and following me but I wasn't looking back, not taking even a single glance at them as I stormed my way to the entrance of the building. My steps echoed through the tiled and polished floor, my ankle strap sandals were taking hard steps, a sign that I was about to go on a war."Baby, wait!"Caleb finally caught up with me and held my arm, halting me suddenly. And if it wasn't because he was quick enough to support me, I went out of balance. My eyes landed on him, giving dagger looks."What?" I snickered. "Don't tell me you are going to stop me? Come one, Caleb. I won't let you do it, give this one to me.""Have you forgotten that we have just been in a press conference where I explained everything? That's it, Hazel. Don't fuss about, Miss Colbern. Let her be, Mirna and the guards will handle them.""Oh, no," I shook my head

CHAPTER 52
 "You did a great job there, baby."I smiled as I made circles on Caleb's chest. My head was resting on it while he was combing my hair with his fingers, kissing the top of my head from time to time. His tender kisses and fingers were soothing and I couldn't help but to close my eyes as the Advil I took this morning started losing its effect and now my head was aching again, add what had just happened at the entrance of Zamora Newscasting Agency.The beat of his heart was like a soft rhythm in my ears, I couldn't help but to smile even more as I hear it. I was starting to get sleepy, so I didn't respond to him and just listened as he talk, complimenting me."I'm glad to see you fighting back and not letting them have the satisfaction of defeating and ruining you, baby. I like your bravery, fierce and hot.""It wasn't easy though." I wasn't able to help myself help but to respond when he complimented me for being brave. "You know, I'm afraid o

CHAPTER 53
 I lay on his naked chest as his bit callous hands caressed my bareback. With our position, I could feel and hear his serene heartbeats amidst the silent room. Our breaths were even and equal, our eyes dropped closed as we relaxed after several rounds of lovemaking. The first ones were hard and rough, punishing and yearning. And the last ones were soft and gentle as he whispered how much he loved me."Baby?""Hmm?"Moving to look up at him, I found him staring lovingly at me and without a word, kissed my forehead that brought a smile to my face. My hand that was resting on his chest moved to caress his cheek, my smile widen, realizing that he kept what he said to me when I told him I don't like men with stubbles and mustaches. He kept his face clean."You know what, baby, I could spend the whole night without sleeping if that means staring at your angelic smile," he mumbled.I chuckled, "Oh, Caleb. Don't say that. I could see it in you

CHAPTER 54
 Thankfully, later on, that day, Geraldine called back and told me she was on her way home. CBNews fired her from work just because of what happened in the bar when it doesn't have something to do with her as one of CBNews' journalists anymore. She was off duty that night and whatever happened at the bar does not have something to do with her duty as a journalist.But then, we were talking about the dirty company of CBNews, so, it wasn't surprising that they did that to her. And for sure, they gave her a feedback that no other news company would accept her. A character reference that was manipulated with lies. That's just how they worked.When I asked her if we could meet, she declined and I could feel it in her voice that she didn't want to talk to anyone for a while. Of course, she probably felt bad after being fired to work and knowing what CBNews did to her character reference. Just like me, Geraldine was a self-supporting individual, so she needed to

CHAPTER 55
 Caleb Craige'sCal.She just simply shortened my name, she didn't make her own endearment for me. It was damn far from that, she didn't even think of calling me Cal as an endearment for me. But then, here I was, still smiling and blushing because my girlfriend just called me Cal because Hazel shortened my name.If someone would find out why I was smiling, they would probably think of me as a shallow man whose happiness was too small. But then, we were talking about Hazel here, my woman. There was no small thing when it comes to her. Everything was the best when it was Hazel we were talking about."Caleb?"I looked at the door that was half-open where Mirna was waiting. I motioned her to come in, she entered holding another pile of folders that I obviously needed to review and sign. I have been busy with paperworks since Hazel and I came back from our vacation and some meetings with the board regarding the recent issue that circulated.

CHAPTER 56
 Hazel Quin'sSince the call ended, I stayed silent and stopped reviewing. My mind was clouded with thoughts and I couldn't concentrate. I was just focused on the thought of Caleb's secret. He was finally giving it to me, he was doing it in his will.My eyes then looked at the screen of my laptop where my first draft of the article about Caleb's secret that I was supposed to write. It was still incomplete, of course. The last draft that I had was the time when he met his father again and after that, I was able to continue it after things happened.His father.I remember the time when he cried on me while we were in the car, it was the first time he opened up to me about his backstory. And that's when I found out that Caleb didn't have a good life before, his early life was away from the wealth and glamour that he has right now.He was a struggling working student back then and a scholar closed to a malnourished teen. His father always

CHAPTER 57
My girlfriend and soon-to-be wife. Those words made me smile and I wasn't able to suppress them anymore. I looked down as I suddenly felt shy towards the two sophisticated people in front of us. I didn't expect that I would smile genuinely wide to the point that my smile would almost reach my ear. "Aww, she looks shy. So, cute," I heard Athena giggled. And before I knew it, she was already beside me, pulling me to sit beside her. My eyes caught how Caleb secretly and stopped himself from shaking his head, then he sat beside me. The table was spacious enough for the four of us. Our sitting arrangement wasn't what I was expecting. Instead of sitting across with Athena and Mr. Vanzanth, Athena and I were sitting across from Mr. Vanzanth and Caleb. Now, it looked like Athena and I knew each other for a long time and we were having a date or a simple meet-up with our suitors. "Before you two start with your business matters, do you w
