All Chapters of Got A Free Husband, His Son Was A Bonus: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~MELISSA~I missed the days when Caleb was continually drawn to me. Three days after the confrontation, I still couldn't help but feel the disconnect. He barely looked at me. He didn't look at me.Somehow, I knew I was supposed to say something to him. A kind of additional explanation but I didn't know how to start.I dropped to my office chair and flipped through the papers in front of me gazing at the submitted sketches for the eleventh joint exhibitions.I was sick of all these joint endeavours. It meant I had to be in contact with Raymond more often. I hated the thought of it but I had to accept the truth that I still hadn't completely gotten my head unwrapped from around Raymond. The most terrible part of it was that he felt he still had that effect on me; that control. And I was terrible at proving him wrong as always.Even back at that balcony, when he drew back to me and held me, whispering his reminder, I felt myself drawn deep into something I couldn't exactly describe. Som

~MELISSA~"Is my life on the line?"The words left my mouth before I could soften them. Whatever it was that was unspoken between us, it was pressing down into the air in the room. As I asked, Desmond's eyes remained still and whatever it is that was amiss seemed to be giving him real chills. But still he could not give me an answer."You've not answered me, Desmond. Is something going to happen? Am I in some kind of danger?"My voice trembled this time despite my effort to keep it firm. I hated sounding uncertain. I hated feeling it even more.He lowers his head and shakes his head. "I can't exactly say," He looked back up at me, his eyes reddening.His jaw tightened and my eyes dropped to the half empty bottle in front of him and it made me realize why his fears were so amplified.Or perhaps nothing was really wrong. Maybe he was just tired and drunk. But I knew there had to be something up for him to talk like that. And he has been this way for a couple of days. Slowly, my pal

~MELISSA~"You're looking great, Melissa." He murmured, his eyes roaming me with unreadable excitment. "Are you following me around or what?" I asked, adjusting my grip around Caleb's shoulder."I don't have your tracking ID so I guess it'll be hard for me to do that," He shrugged, his hands slipping down his waist, one hand tugging at the lace of his back short knickers.He had gotten muscular - almost chubbier. But he had also built his packs more. That was all - nothing else changed. Nothing improved."What are you doing here?" I asked, throwing my chin up high.He chuckled softly to my question and dragged farther, his eyes roaming me better as if that's why he had drawn back."This is the beach, Melissa. It's not another one if Steele's personal property. Everyone is free to come here. Am I right?"I rolled my eyes and sighed. "The reason I should be the one asking you that is that you're not on a bikini."I drew back and casually ran my hand across the flare of my dress. "I ha

~DESMOND~Part of the day I had been dreading came finally. But I had also been expecting it.A small long table with no full assembly. Just five senior colleagues of my father were seated in the small private chamber. Except now I wasn't here to preside over them but listen to their observations. Richard sat to the side, quiet, composed. In fact , I could swear he was almost relaxed. The way he sat like he was just a secretary here to take minutes and not the person suing me irritated me more than his accusations had. After giving me days to drop my position, he went ahead to submit his evidence to the board when I made no compliance and within the week, I was here to atone for it.“Mr. Desmond, you understand why we called this session," Grand Peter, a close friend and business associate of my dad asked.“Yes,” I said evenly. “To address my brother's claims.” “They’re not light claims, Desmond," Mr. Joffrey said, his lips barely moving as he adjusted his glass, his eyes roaming t

~MELISSA~The things I said to Raymond, I was sure didn't sit well with him but still needed to be said. I needed to finally stand up to him and make him know that he really meant nothing to me anymore.I should not even have stood this long with him for this conversation and argument. I looked back to see Caleb far from us still under the shade and my heart nearly stopped. God! What if Caleb has been secretly watching the entire time?What if he saw it when Raymond wrapped his hands around my waist and danced with me in the so-called memory of our first date. The image of Raymond’s lips on mine replayed in my head, and I shut my eyes. What if Caleb had seen it? What if he told Desmond? The thought made my stomach twist. I started toward him, desperate to act normal, to say something casual, anything that would erase suspicion from his eyes. Even though he appeared to have been entirely occupied with whatever it was he was doing with the sand.Before I could take another step, a han
