My Ex-Husband's Temptation 104: Dad (Part 2)
WINTER:One thing I noticed about that these past few days? He would always talk about death as if the topic did not make us sad. Was this a premonition that he was going to leave us soon?When I could not fathom to talk for a moment, it was Cali who broke the silence. “You will still have a lot of days ahead of you.”I was glad he was here. If not, this table would be full of crying. “My days are numbered,” he responded. “Why can't you all accept that? I am also tired of dealing with this pain.”I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from crying and it seemed that Cali had sensed my mood that he was being talkative to Dad. Can't Dad see that I was also in pain seeing him like this? He was not the only one who was hurting. We were too. It was also a blessing in disguise that Liam was still innocent enough to understand everything that was happening now. “We are not ready to let you go,” I mumbled. A lump formed in my throat. “Every day, I am hoping for a miracle, Dad. And
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 105: A Day With Cali?
WINTER:Hawk looked around and landed his gaze at me. Something crossed in his eyes and disappeared before I could decipher what it was. Realizing that Cali and I were touching as if burned, I put distance between me and Cali. “H-Hawk. Y-You’re here. Have you eaten already?”“Miss Winter,” he greeted. “I'm still full.”“What have you eaten?”“I drank some coffee. I'm full.”“But…”“I'm sure Hawk knows how to feed himself, Pumpkin. No need to worry about him. He is old enough to eat for himself.”I whipped my head in Cali's direction and gave him a stern look. “Hawk does not come here to pick a fight.”My ex-husband folded his hands in front of his chest. “I am not picking a fight with him. I'm only giving my suggestion, Pumpkin.”I heaved a sigh. I hope they will stop whatever they are doing right now because it's getting tiresome. Closing the distance between Hawk and me, I asked, “Why are you here, Hwk? Did Dad order something?”He gave me a stiff nod. “Miss Winter, I came here
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 106: Children
WINTER:“What are you planning to do, Calcifer?”My ex-husband laughed out loud that tears came out of his eyes.What was so funny?When he was able to control himself, he murmured, “You always think that I am planning something, Pumpkin.”I narrowed my eyes and folded my arms in front of my chest. “Isn't that the case?”“I won't do anything unless you allow me, Pumpkin if that's what you are concerned about. You will be safe when you return home unless you're the one who will be touching me, which I don't have any problem at all.” He wiggled his eyebrows playfully, teasing me. “Over my dead body,” I exclaimed. Don't you feel excited, Winter? Imagine spending the night with Calcifer and doing things that you missed since you got married. Four years of being untouched by a man makes your body crave something carnal, isn't it?Dang it.I hated how the other part of my mind was correct. Excitement was already bubbling inside me.The kisses were enough to awaken my body. How much more i
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 107: River
WINTER:Cali let go of my hand and returned his gaze to the river. Across the sky, lightning flashed, signaling the incoming storm. At this time of the day, more people would visit the river to have their picnics laying their blanket on the ground and have their date, but it seemed that the incoming rain had stopped them from doing so. However, some were brave enough to go with the flow, making the rain their alley. "I would be heartbroken of course, Pumpkin. I cannot afford to lose you for the second time, especially if it will be my fault again.""Why would it be your fault?""It would be my fault because if I failed in winning you back, it meant I did not do my best in having you back. It meant I did not exert all my efforts in winning you back. I was complacent. That would be the biggest mistake that I would make in my entire life."I bit the inside of my cheeks. "I saw your efforts, Cali. There were changes in your behavior which I was grateful for." But still...another part o
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 108: River (Part 2)
WINTER:“All I am saying is that your gratitude to him was already too much,” Cali insisted. “For me, it's not normal, Pumpkin. Isn't giving him a salary enough?”My nostrils flared.I will just think that he said those words out of worry for me. That he did not want anyone to abuse my kindness. “No. His salary is not enough.”“Pumpkin…I'm only trying to explain it to you.”I gritted my teeth. “How dare you say it was not normal,” I growled. “You just don't know how grateful I am for all the things Hawk did for me and the family. You were not there during those times, Calcifer. That's why it was easy for you to say that I should not be grateful to him. Here's the thing. Even if I told him a couple of times my gratitude, I could still not repay my bodyguard.”He stared at me for a long time and then heaved a sigh in resignation. “You will keep on defending him.”“Of course, I would. If not, who will? Our bond is stronger than the wind.” Cali did not know what kind of man Hawk was. A
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 109: Hawk
HAWK:"Uncle Hawk, can you carry me, please?" Liam asked when we were done playing on the children's playground. “My feet are hurting now.”I guessed it was because of running so much with the other kids. This kid knew how to play and interact with the other children. Miss Winter had asked me to babysit the kid, saying she and that asshole would go somewhere else. From the way that asshole was staring at Miss Winter, it seemed the two were going on a date.Were they having a great time? Where did that jerk bring Miss Winter? Did he bring him snacks? My chest tightened.I wanted to ask Miss Winter where they would go, but held my tongue. Without verifying, I was certain that they would go on a date. And what was the assurance that Miss Winter would tell me the truth if I did ask? She won't.I was brought back to the present when Liam tugged the hem of my jacket, grabbing my attention."You're not listening, Uncle Hawk." Sweat coated his forehead and the kid smelled like the sun. I t
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 110: Checking
WINTER:My insides were boiling with anger as I continued recalling my ex-husband’s affection for his wife. Did he love her that much?Maybe their connections were that strong. I drew my knees closer as I continued watching the river. The skies had started clearing while the sun was starting to wink at us. It was clear that that woman deceived Calcifer. What I did not understand was why he kept on defending that woman as if he cared for him. Wait. What if he had lingering feelings for that woman but he was not aware of it? Probably. If not, why did he marry her? Your ex-husband had feelings for Carmela. No doubt. It was undeniable. My chest clenched as I stared at him hard. His eyes were full of mischief. Well, good for him because he was enjoying this while I was not!“Why would I feel jealous of someone who has no class?” I inquired, my voice turning sour. I hugged myself when the cold air hit my face. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Calcifer, but the moment I saw your ex-wife, I
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 111: Sick
WINTER: “W-We’re here in the Angel River,” I informed Hawk when he continued to study the background at my back as if it was a fine specimen. Recognition hit his face. Dang. I knew he would be familiar with this place. “We’ve been there a couple of times, Miss Winter. Did you forget? Why did you not tell me that you’re going there?” Hawk inquired. I forced a smile. “Yes, we did come here. Remember when someone said she liked you? That she was your super fan?”He squinted as if he no longer wanted to remember that memory. That woman saw how Hawk saved a child from drowning. “That's already part of the past, Miss Winter. I don't want to remember that scary woman." I laughed, recalling the memory. The woman became his stalker and even followed him on social media. She even found out about the house that we were living in and would always come here, on the same spot just to check if he was also with me. Because of that woman, Hawk rarely opened his account for fear that the woma
