My Ex-Husband's Temptation 15: Move Now
WINTER:I get that not everyone liked the idea of me talking back to Calcifer, but I also did not expect the same words to come from Hawk. For a couple of three years, he never involved himself in my personal life since there was a clear boundary between work and my private life. But now...it seemed that there was a shift in him. What made him change? What made him involved?I crossed my legs and leaned on my seat. "And why is that?"He averted his gaze. "Your ex-husband...he does not deserve you and Liam."And who deserved us?I raised my eyebrows. "Do you hear what you said, Hawk?"He shook his head. "I...I ... don't like him for you."I stared at him in disbelief and laughed. "You don't like him? Since when did you care?""Miss Winter...I...I can act as Liam's Dad if you want. The kid wanted me. I can pretend that I am your finance for real if it’s for the sake of you and Liam. I don’t want that man after what he did to you."I did not regret hiring him. He was one of the best dec
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 16: Jett-Jett
WINTER:Dad was super excited. He was whistling while watering the plants in his garden. Something was going on and it seemed that it was his turn to be happy right now.Whatever it was, I was happy that he was enjoying life despite the cancer that was stealing his life. He whistled the tune of some familiar song. It was his and Mom's favorite song. I wondered what was the good news?Leaning on the wall, I inquired, “Excuse me, Dad? Why are you super happy today? Don’t take it negatively. I love it when you are like this…but did something happen that would make you act like this?”Smiling, he faced me and retorted, “Guess who is coming here?”My brows formed a straight line. Something was telling me that I wouldn't like what he was going to say. “Who?”He rarely invited his business partners to his house. Only a few individuals whom he trusted so much. “Calcifer. My son-in-law. He is coming here maybe this evening and I want you to honor your promise. You've got to talk to your ex-
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 17: Pain
WINTER:The child was not Calcifer’s. How? It was impossible. And if it wasn't him, why did she call him Daddy? Where was Carmela now? What happened to her? I mentally shook my head. Calcifer was good at telling lies and now, he was saying it so that I would trust him and give him a chance. My eyes narrowed while folding my arms in my chest. “You’re lying until now. Let's drop this act, Calcifer, and tell us the truth.”“What child are you talking about, Cali?” Dad said it seemed that he did not have any idea about the child. Even after talking for three years? Why did he hide it from my father? Maybe because he got scared that Dad would be mad at him again. “Calcifer has a child, Dad. The same age as Liam,” I answered for my ex-husband when he did not say anything.“Jett-Jett is four years old. She is older than my son.”Four years old? So he had been cheating on me on our first wedding anniversary?I clenched my fist. How could he do that to me? “I’m not buying it. The child
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 18: Calcifer
CALCIFER:Winter already belonged to him?A strong wave of jealousy hit me hard as I watched the bastard's hand on my wife. No. Ex-wife. Winter would be mad at me if he heard me calling her wife.If I did not divorce her, I would be sitting beside her by now. If I did not leave her, would we be happy together with the child? Would I understand her more? I want her to be mine. Again, I thought. They haven’t married yet and I still have a chance to win her again. I have to win her. I will be the one who will be taking care of my child. Not another man. Take a deep breath, Calcifer. You don't want to scare Winter. You will get her back. You’ve got to show her that she needs you more than her boyfriend. Be true to your words and never lie to her. Again. "If you say so," I replied coolly. I crossed my legs, leaned back, and eyed the bastard. He was handsome. I could say, but I could provide well more than him. And my son will have everything that money could buy. If he wants it. I wa
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 19: Meeting Each Other
WINTER:My heart tightened looking at my ex-husband’s reaction. It seemed like he was in disbelief upon seeing Liam for the second time. Who wouldn’t? He was seeing the mini-version of him. Was I feeling guilty that I kept our son away from him? Partly. But those small thoughts telling me that my ex-husband deserved it was the one who was victorious. Calcifer brought this upon himself.You are punishing Liam for his Dad’s sins. Your son deserved a father who will guide him as he grows up, the other part of my mind said. Am I punishing my son? Is that what it was called? I did not want anything but to make my son happy. It was not bad, right? But how could I do that if my ex-husband was suddenly in the equations?“Mommy!” Liam exclaimed while giggling as Ynes was tailing him. The old woman was already saying that her knees were in pain and now Liam made her walk fast. If not, maybe run earlier. “Liam. You have to walk slowly or else you will stumble. Wait for Ynes.”Not listening t
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 20: I Want You Know
20: I Want To Know, TooWINTER:Liam was waiting for my answer while my ex-husband was giving me an apologetic look. He was cheating on our marriage. Jett-Jett was not his child, my foot. Damn him to hell!“Mommy?”“Yes, Liam. I-It is.”My ex-husband opened his mouth but closed it again. He knew for a fact that I never belieevd when he said that Jett-Jett was his daughter. Period. How long will he keep on denying it so that he won’t anger me?I stood. “Where are you going, Mommy?”“I will look for Uncle Hawk.” To Ynes on the corner, I ordered, “Ynes, please grab a drink for Liam and Calcifer. I will just go out and talk to Hawk.” To my ex-husband, I said, “Take care of my child. I will be coming back. Don’t make him cry.”“Why would you come after him? To console him?” he asked, pertaining to Hawk.“Isn’t that what I am supposed to do?” I asked back.“If he could not control his feelings, he does not deserve you.”“I will be the one to decide who deserved me or not.”We stared for a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 21: No Need
WINTER:My first reaction was to stay away from Hawk and search for some alibi as to why we were talking side by side. But then, I was reminded that I had nothing to be guilty about. My ex-husband had no longer right over me. Besides, why would I feel guilty when he never even bothered to get jealous before? Yeah. He was a good husband but when someone showed their intentions towards me, my ex-husband never reacted. So why?“Where is Liam?” I asked instead when Hawk’s response was a glare.“You’re smoking even if Winter is beside you?” he asked Hawk, watching the cigarette butt on the ashtray.“I killed it when she was here,” he explained.“Stop making everything a big deal, Calcifer. Hawk was telling the truth and he will not do anything that would endanger my life. He loves me that much compared to you who never was sensitive to my feelings.”“What I did in the past was wrong, pumpkin. I was aware of that. I came here to redeem myself.”“You came here for my son. Not me. Let’s be c
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 22: Carmela
WINTER: I silently sighed in relief after Hawk was pulled away from me. I was still not ready to kiss any man. Yet.It was not because my ex-husband was right in front of me. It had nothing to do with it because if it did, it would only make him be good at himself, thinking I still had feelings for him. It was because I did not want the feeling of being kissed by someone whom I did not have any feelings for. Was Hawk that bad?Definitely not.The next time I would kiss, it would be to someone whom I liked. I won’t be repeating the same mistake I committed a couple of years ago. I lifted my chin while seeing Hawk pull himself away from Calcifer and distance himself, returning to my side. “You want us to kiss, but you’re the one who pulled me away from Winter.”“Like I said, I don’t want to see anyone kiss Winter,” Calcifer answered casually. I hated how confident he looked. It seemed like he was thinking that there was some kind of chance between us even if there was none.“You do
