Lahat ng Kabanata ng To Hell With Him: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The phone pinged again, showing the same trending topic that had been circulating for half a month.Luther Spencer had spent a fortune on a luxurious estate. He had planted an entire garden of roses by hand to celebrate his fifth wedding anniversary.Once again, he announced to the world that his heart belonged solely to Callista Caldwell.Countless comments followed, and each of them was expressing envy for their love."Who says relationships with an age gap don't work out? Mr. Spencer's ultimate wedding gift is his hopeless devotion. It's said Mrs. Spencer is six years older, and it took him three years of relentless pursuit to win her over.""Everyone knows Mr. Spencer adores his wife. Two years ago, when Mrs. Spencer was trapped during the earthquake, Mr. Spencer risked his life to rescue her."He was covered in injuries when he was finally pulled out, and yet he was more set on comforting his terrified wife. The news even showed him holding her, and both of them were in tear

The phone screen dimmed automatically. Luther didn't pay much attention to it and pulled Callista into his arms. He gently patted her back."Shh, don't cry. It hurts me to see you like this."It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here just to upset you. She's my mother—you don't have to put up with her for my sake."You can yell at me or hit me if it makes you feel better."On the way home, Luther spent the entire ride trying to comfort her. Callista simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.Occasionally, the sound of message notifications echoed in the car. Luther was busy replying to them for the second half of the drive.When they arrived home, Luther stroked her head."Honey, there's an urgent matter at work that I need to handle. Wait for me here, and I'll come back early tonight, okay?"Callista quietly got out of the car.After Luther left, she accepted Wren's friend request and opened her social media feed. Pinned at the top of her profile were two photos.

Callista went to bed late and woke up late as well. As she stepped out of the bedroom, Luther came through the door while holding a bag in his hands."Honey, I bought your favorite honey garlic prawns," he announced while presenting the package as if it were a treasure. "I rushed back to keep them warm for you. Eat them while they're hot."In the past, whenever Luther upset her, he would buy honey garlic prawns to cheer her up. Callista never particularly liked them, but she always forgave him—not because of the prawns, but because she loved him.What was this gesture for today? Was it to ease his guilt after spending the whole night with another woman?"Honey, did you see the message I sent before I went out? When did you wake up?"For some reason, Luther felt a vague unease over Callista's recent demeanor."No, I just woke up," Callista replied as she picked up her fork. She wouldn't let herself go hungry because of him.When he saw her calm expression that seemed to have

"Luther went to warm some milk for you. He said you can't drink anything cold. Honestly, where else would you find a husband this good?" Kai said."I'm not done moving the drinks yet. I'll go check on him," he added casually.Callista's eyes turned red as her nails dug into her palms. How many lies had he told her over the years to get to the point where he could lie so effortlessly?She couldn't bear to stay another moment."I'm tired. I'm heading home," she said flatly."Should I ask Luther to take you?" Kai asked. He was a bit uncertain.Callista stared at him for a long moment. "There's no need. I wouldn't want to ruin his fun."Kai seemed uneasy under her gaze. "Then, I'll call you a car."Before getting in, Callista turned back to look at the brother she had raised herself.Kai's eyes darted away. "What is it, Cally?"Callista turned and shut the car door without answering. When she got home, Luther's call came almost immediately."Why didn't you let me take you home?

Luther replied to Callista's message."Honey, I'll be there soon. I can't wait to see what surprise you've prepared for me."But as the fireworks lit up the night sky, Callista's response never came. An uneasy feeling crept into Luther's heart.Just as he was about to call her, Wren stopped him by pressing her hand over his phone."Luther, you promised to stay with me tonight.""I can't leave Callista alone there," he said while frowning. His thoughts were consumed by her.He wasn't there with her, and he began wondering how worried she must've been. Their fifth wedding anniversary wasn't complete unless they watched the fireworks together."But it's too late even if you go now. A little delay won't make a difference, will it?" Wren murmured while looping the silk ribbon of her nightgown around his fingers and gently pulling.The nightgown slid to the floor.Luther's breathing grew heavier, though he muttered, "Don't be ridiculous."Wren leaned closer. "I'm telling you that I
