My Ex-Husband's Temptation 82: Cali's Dream
WINTER:"You're going to avenge him for me? Cali. You're not even getting the word right and you're talking about revenge?"He laughed and it was pleasant to my ears. His laughter made me forget my worries about Hawk. "My bad, Pumpkin. I don't have perfect English.""It should be, do I want you to avenge me?"He laughed on the other side of the line. "Okay. I am sorry. I know. I know. I'm only trying to make you laugh, Pumpkin. You ended the call earlier. It made me worried. The reason why I called you. I was about to ask my secretary to bring flowers to your home.”My brows furrowed. “Mother's Day celebration is already gone.”“I just want to give you flowers, Pumpkin.”“Why?”“Ahm…is there a need to give a reason”“Yes, because I don't want to feel indebted to you, Cali.”“Pumpkin, what made you think about that?”I bit the inside of my cheeks. “Nothing.”A long silence passed between us until he asked, “Really? Is there something I need to know?"“You have work.”“I'm resting for
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 83: Both
WINTER: I tried to feel my chest. To know what my chest was screaming. Whose name was it whispering? Hawk or Cali? Do I start to have feelings for my bodyguard? Or not? Which between them weighed in my heart heavier? Was it Hawk? Was it Cali? I drew a shaky breath. Everything was still unclear.“Pumpkin…do I take your silence as a yes?” Cali asked. “Do you love your bodyguard? Do I need to panic now? Pumpkin…I…I don't want to lose you and Liam. Please…choose me.”My ex-husband begging? I haven't remembered anything that he begged while we were married. It was always me begging him to stay for the night. It was me telling him that we should spend some time together. It was always me. And now the table had turned. “Why would I choose you, Cali? What made you better than Hawk? What's my assurance that you will not get tired of me like how you get tired of me and Carmela?”He exhaled loudly. “Pumpkin, how long will you punish me by bringing up my past?”I massaged the back of my hea
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 84: Now, We Are Talking
CALCIFER:“How was it? Did Miss Winter say "I love you two?” Nathalia asked as she sat in front of my table. She was the happiest when she heard I said my love for Winter.I ordered her to go while I talked to Winter over the phone, but she came back instantly. I heaved a sigh.The smile disappeared from her face. “Oh. She turned you down. Our great CEO of the company. My half-sibling was turned down by his ex-wife? I’m so disappointed in you, Mr. Calcifer. You’ve been with two divorces already and you still haven’t learned how to court someone? Eh. Like what the…”“Winter is not ready,” I grumbled, cutting off her words. She gave me a front-teeth smile. “Not ready? Or maybe you haven’t shown your feelings more than enough. Maybe you haven’t shown her how you feel. Courting a woman should be sincere and consistent. Your good deeds should remain for as long as forever.”“Forever does not exist. Our time in this world is limited. People die. There is no forever.”She rolled her eyes a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 85: One Real Love
CALCIFER:“That’s my specialty. Playing Cupid to every couple. Have you heard about Dina and Felix? I was their bridge and succeeded in pairing them up.”I did find out about the newly married couple and they said it was all thanks to Nathalia. Could I trust her?I was a proud man. I believed I was capable of doing anything in life. I could make everything I did successful. This company was evidence of that. From scratch to now. But when it comes to Winter, everything is becoming difficult. It was difficult to woo her. She was always irritable around me. She was always indifferent. Her hatred had run deep and her emotions were valid. I hurt her in the past and no amount of forgiveness will make her forgive me that easily. “It will be your loss if you won't ask for my help,” she continued when I did not say anything. I admit that the bodyguard's presence made everything complicated. He was a threat to our relationship. What was worse was that Winter was considering him.I clenche
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 86: Family Day
WINTER:It was Family Day already. After being postponed because of some unforeseen circumstances, it was already continued. And here we were, already inside Liam's nursery school.“Aren't you coming with us?” I asked Hawk for the nth time when he pulled over in the parking lot. There were a lot of parents pouring inside. We still have an hour left to start. We were too early, but Cali did not want us to be late. “I am fine, Miss Winter,” he said and stepped out of the car. The next thing I knew, the door beside me opened. I stepped outside while Cali and Liam did the same. “Are you sure, Hawk? It will take us a long time before we finish the program. I don't want you to get bored waiting here.”His expression remained emotionless. “Don't worry about me, Miss Winter.”I hated how cold he was still cold around me. He had not totally forgiven me. Not yet.“She's not worrying about you,” Cali muttered. “Stop your delusions. Let's go, Pumpkin.”Hawk glared at Cali and the two were back
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 87: Offer
WINTER:"That man is old enough. Stop trying to be his babysitter," Cali grumbled. "Babysitter? You think I'm babysitting him? You're saying nonsense, Cali. Hawk is the most mature person I have ever met. He was way more mature than you, okay?"He looked down on me and pain flashed in his eyes. These past few days, all I did was hurt Cali—intentionally or not. "Winter. You were not like this before. May I be honest with you? Whatever you are doing right now is scaring me, Pumpkin. It seems like you're drifting away from me and getting even closer to your bodyguard."I averted my gaze. "What do you mean, Cali?""You were not this concerned about your bodyguard. I wanted to believe that I am losing the chances of having you back."Oh, shot. Speaking of Hawk, I forgot to bring him here with us. He was my freaking bodyguard. Why did I leave him in the car?Was he supposed to be our bodyguard? He was no longer doing that but was now an errand boy or a driver. I made a mental note to
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 88: Why Don't You Choose?
WINTER: I smacked Cali’s head. It was not that hard, but it was enough to address my annoyance towards him. The child, witnessing what I did towards my ex-husband, saw it, got scared, and ran away crying for his Mommy and Daddy. I felt bad for him. “Look what you did to the poor child, Pumpkin,” Cali declared, his eyes following the child’s direction. He stopped at the two couples and pointed in our direction. Not wanting to scare them, I waved my hands at them, but they glared at me. My eyes went back to Calcifer. “Imagine our second child would do the same, Pumpkin. Isn’t it lovely? I never knew how it felt to hold a newborn’s body. But I am willing to experience it again with you this time, Pumpkin. This time, you will no longer be feeling alone. I will be with you from the beginning until the end, Pumpkin. Liam and I will be there for you,” he declared softly. The image of him and Liam while they took care of me in the hospital resurfaced. My heart tightened. What
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 89: Are You Scared?
WINTER:Others felt proud whenever men fought for them, but for me, it made my stomach churn. I did not like any of it especially if I would be the reason why the two would hurt each other.I just wished these two would become best friends in the near future, but maybe I was only asking for too much.“May I remind you two that the goal is to lift Liam? To bring him to his room. Not to argue between you two?”“Isn’t it time to choose between us, Pumpkin?” Cali asked, not looking at me. A low growl escaped from his lips. “It’s time to put someone in their proper place.”A shiver ran down my spine.Would they fight again? Shit.Please do not be under my watch.I exhaled loudly. “May I remind you too that from the beginning, I told you not to pursue whatever you are doing if you will not persevere. Don’t force me to choose any of you,” I muttered harshly. I was not ready, and I don’t think I would be ready at all. “My life was at peace when you did not enter our life, Cali. So, please?
