Romancing the Devil CHAPTER 29
Our relationship goes on. Even though everything was a bit difficult, I didn’t budge. Kiana is even more telling me to be alert and be careful.“I’m just warning you, Hailey. This is not the time or season to be complacent. Until we can be sure that Callum has no bad intentions, we should be cautious. Especially you. Because you’re the one whose with him all the time, you’re the one he’s married to, and you’re the one he’s falling for so badly. So be careful. Okay?” she said while she’s in my office. “I am also investigating on my own. Even more so, Mommy and Daddy are a bit anxious about something. I don’t know because every time I ask them, they say that everything is fine and that I should not worry. I’m just thinking that there’s something wrong.” She put her hand on her forehead and shook her head as if she didn’t know what to do.“What’s the state of our company, Kiana?” I asked slowly.“It also slowly rising because of Callum’s name in it. As a . . . finally a half owner and st

“She’s dead, Hailey. She— She was shot.”I was depressed and couldn’t immediately answer what he said. I lost the courage to speak. At the same time as I took a deep breath, my tears fell.“Everything is a mess right now, Hailey. T-The company’s now . . . u-under Callum’s name. I-I don’t know how did it happened. Dad said he tricked him. A-And Daddy . . . Daddy was the one behind what happened to Callum’s parents. Daddy . . . h-he killed them . . .”I cried hard when I heard that. I couldn’t even accept the last word Ate Kiana spoke to me.“N-No. . .” I whispered. I tried to deny what I found out. I tried to put aside that this was Callum’s goal now.“Zild and I found out that . . . he supposed to marry me because I am the real daughter. Or even the first daughter. But he thought you were my parents real daughter. I talked to Justin, h-he said, Callum was supposed to marry me so he was surprised that he saw you. Because he knew I’m an only daughter. But was wrong when he saw you inste

“Ate . . . I’m pregnant. What s-should I do?” I said while crying, I lowered my head thinking what to do because to be honest, I really don’t know what to do next now.We left. I left him, for real. I can’t seem to accept that I left him. But the pain will continue if I don’t. My parents did something horrible to his family, and he did the same to my family. So I don’t know if we can continue or stay with each other without thinking about what happened. The pain is excruciating and can’t bear anymore.Ate Kiana’s eyes looking at me were full of sadness, anger, and sympathy. I tried to be strong but I know to myself that I couldn’t. Hindi ako kagaya ni Ate Kiana.“Dad is in jail now. He has many cases to face. Moreover, he owed a lot of money that he still can’t pay. The company is now under Callum’s name so he has no claim anymore.” Ate Kiana informed. “Callum doesn’t know that . . . you are not the real son of Mommy and Daddy. I mean, he had no idea that you were Mommy’s sister’s dau
Romancing the Devil CHAPTER 32
“Hestia Clariz!” I shout to call my daughter, who is hopping and running inside the airport. She’s very energetic, and I don’t have any idea where her energy is coming from since we’re both tired. I’m getting exhausted from taking care of her every day because of her energy, but I don’t want to give up on her because she’s my daughter. There’s no other person who will take care of her but me, because I am her mother.“Mommy! Mommy!” She chanted as she run towards my direction.When she came to a stop in front of me, she was already sweating profusely. I took a towel from her bag and wiped her sweat on her face, neck, and forehead. She was running inside the big space in the airport, and she's sweating so much when she runs towards me. She's still energetic, but you can still see how tired she is through her eyes.“I saw people, Mommy. Cutie unifolm.” It sucks hearing her saying a word with “R” in it. She still stutters in that letter so sometimes I laugh at her words.She really is g

“You’re off to work now?” I asked while wiping my hands. I just got finished washing the dishes. I look at him with gentle eyes.He nodded while adjusting his necktie. I approached him and helped him fix his necktie. He stopped what he was doing and let me continue.I’ve got conscious when I felt his stare at me. He’s not glaring, he’s just staring like I’m kind of a puzzle. I looked up at him and smiled slightly.“You're old enough but you still don't know how to fix your necktie.” I joked with him and it was followed by a short laugh. But he didn't even look happy and his expression was still serious.After a while, I gasped when I felt the touch of his warm palm on my waist.I don't know why, but I always get a strange feeling every time our skin comes close. Whenever he touches me by accident or whenever I try to touch him. There was a strange tickling in my stomach. Sometimes my whole body gets hot because of that.It was just a simple interaction from my husband but I feel like
Romancing the Devil CHAPTER 1
"Dad, you can't do that to my sister!" Kiana shouted at our parents.I just bowed my head and just listened to them in their decision for my life.I lived my entire life like this. Controlled and manipulated by my adoptive parents. We're blood related because Mom is my biological father's sister. I was just adopted by them when my parents died due to plane crashed when I was just five years old. And because Kiana was missing that time, they want me to be their own child. To fill the emptiness they're feeling.They legally adopted me months after my parents burial. It is also because my parents entrusted me to them. I somehow, learned about to love them as my real parents. At the first ten years, they're good at me. They all treated me well. Even sometimes I get scolded, especially when they are hot-headed and beat me, that was fine with me because I knew that was part of disciplining me.Until they saw their daughter, Kiana, when I was sixteen years old. I was happy for them when they

“Callum Travis Villanueva,” he handed me his hand while looking so intimidating in front of me.I gulp before shaking his hand firmly, “H-Hailey Avery de Guzman.” I introduced while withdrawing my hand from him and looking away.“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Ms. de Guzman.” his husky voice sent shivers down my spine.“L-Likewise. And uh... Just call me Avery or Avery, whatever you please. It’s too formal if you’ll call me Ms. de Guzman every time.” I said while looking away from his intense eyes.He chuckled, “I prefer to call you Avery. I like it more.” he said seductively.I frowned and look at him straight in his eyes. “Okay,”“You can call me Callum or Travis.” he said without taking his eyes off me.“Callum,” I seemed to be very used to pronouncing his name when my mouth utter his precious name.It feels like a deja vu.He was my crush... When I was in College. He’s my senior that time and I was a freshman. Way back the time when I was new to school because that was my fi

When he pulled me gently I just let go. I was just dumbfounded until we got in front of his car.I looked at him when he opened his car door for me. I slowly got in there and put on my seatbelt. He turned around in his car to get to the driver's seat. I sit there like a statue, not wanting to move nor talk. I just look outside and refused to look at him.“Your things are already in my house,” I just turned to him when he spoke.I nodded and just covered my mouth before looking away from him. He started the engine of his car before speaking again.“You don’t have to worry about household chores, I have enough house helpers in my house. They can also help you if you want to learn some things. Just asked them away.” I shut up when he finished speaking before looking at him.“Uhm... I also have a work. But... I'll try to cook you breakfast... That's only if you want. But if you don't want it, you can't do it." I took it back because it looked like he didn't expect what I said, my offer.H
