My tears flowed continuously as I got into the car and drove down the road to my work. Earlier, Benjie kept asking me if I was okay but I didn't answer him and just kept shaking my head. He looked worriedly at me in the rearview mirror while driving.I just looked out the window while wiping my tears.Am I really that quick to hurt? Am I really worthless to others? I know that Callum doesn't like or love me because maybe he was forced to marry me. Maybe just because of his company. So I can't blame him if . . . he will look for warmth in another woman."We're here, ma'am." I blinked and quickly straightened myself up before getting out of the car.I didn't even thank Benjie for taking me here, I just got out and walked straight into the building. The guard even greeted me but I couldn't greet him back because I was feeling so many emotions right now.I took a deep breath as I entered the elevator to stop the emotions I am feeling right now. When the elevator door opened, I immediately
“I only put up with it because you are pitiful.”Callum's last words to me have been replaying in my brain for a while now. I don't know why he suddenly got angry with me. I don't know why he suddenly left and that's what he told me.Does he really despise me so much?“What did I do to you, Callum? Why did you just treat me like that?" I whispered to myself while looking at the ring that he himself put on me on our wedding day.We've only been together for two weeks but this is already happening to both of us. We don't get along anymore.“Romance him . . .”And my father’s voice still lingers in my mind. How can I do that if he’s this cold to me right now? How can I romance him if he despise me so much?“How fucked up my life is, really.” I shook my head while leaning on the backrest of my swivel chair.After I watched Callum walk away from me I didn't talk to Dustin. He tried to talk to me but I just can’t talk to him yet when I felt so down. And for the second time, he witnessed how
“He can’t be here. He’s mad at me. My husband is mad at me.” then a single tear fell from my eye.“Hey, wife . . . don’t cry.” His soothing voice filled my ears.I teared up even more when I heard that. I feel a lot of emotions, especially when I hear his cold soothing voice again.“No . . . my husband, Callum, is mad at me.” Para na akong batang umiiyak pero wala pa ring pakialam.“Hush now, baby. I’m sorry, I was just pissed. I’m not mad at you.” He comforted me before hugging me.I cried in his chest, not minding if I everybody’s looking at us now. I just want to cry like a baby here.“My sister is a mess, Callum. You should get her home now.” I heard Kiana said to my husband.“Thank you for calling me,” Callum answered as he gently stroked my back. "Let's go home now, wife." he said while trying to make me sit on the couch properly.“No.” I said firmly and finally before walking away from him. I can see the shock on his face as well as the anger. "Kiana, take me home. Callum is ma
“Wife, talk to me please . . .” Callum's coaxing voice immediately greeted me as I came out of the bathroom.I'm wearing a bathrobe and drying my hair thoroughly while going to the walk in closet to get dressed.“Fuck, how did the table turned?” I heard him say that I just ignored it until I got inside the walk in closet. Then I heard him groaned frustratedly.I was looking for clothes in my closet when the door of the room's walk in closet suddenly opened. I was shocked and look at the door and saw Callum dashingly entering the room like a King. I want to shout at him for him to leave the room but I stopped myself. Instead, I continue looking for a dress and for my underwear. I just realized that I’m not wearing any underwear now. Just a freakin’ bathrobe.I chose to wear a dusky pink coloured taurus type dress and underwear. I don’t have to wear any brassiere because the dress have silicon bra. And I also get my slingback wedge to wear later.“Wife, stop this silent treatment, pleas
Even in the elevator I was embarrassed because of what Callum did. He's a well-known business magnate, then he's just going to shout like that outside our building? Wasn't he even ashamed of what he did? I was the only one who was embarrassed for him.After I got to my office, I immediately took care of work because I have a lot of deadlines today. I could hardly stop doing what I was doing while my secretary was assisting me. I didn't eat lunch because I was too busy at work. Sheina didn't even bother me anymore, maybe she saw that I was doing a lot today, so did she."Is that really true?" I turned to my office door when I heard Dustin's voice.I frowned, "what is it?" I asked, turning to my computer monitor again."That Callum Villanueva is your husband?" he asked, curiosity is visible in his eyes as he look at me."Yes," I answered without hesitation."Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was full of bitterness and irritation and . . . pain "Since when?""I'm sorry, Dustin. I know y
“It’s been a week,” I whispered as I looked into the nowhere. "Dustin still ignores me." I added sadly before sighing."I hope you explained to him what happened until you and your wife got married." I looked at Kiana who was on the other couch reading a magazine.I’m here at our parent’s house, visiting them. But I couldn't catch up with Mommy and Daddy. They have a meeting abroad. That's okay because I'm ashamed to face my father.I sighed heavily, “If I have known that this would be his reaction, sister. I wish I had told him right away.” I’m still guilty for not telling him about my marriage.That was just an arranged marriage but that was still a marriage. And Dustin . . . he said he’s courting me. But I didn’t know he’s my suitor. I don't know what to do just to make him talk to me again. I don't know how I can explain to him if this is how he can't even look at me every time we meet at the company. He's just walking past me and that's it. No greetings, no smiles, no teasing, no
The next day Callum and I went to work together. And as he said, when our school schedule is the same, he will drop me off or when he is not in a hurry.“Tell me when you’re going somewhere, okay?” I looked at him and pouted before nodding at him."Sorry, I didn't tell you that I went to Kiana. I don't want to disturb you because you're busy with work. Just maybe . . . you were in a meeting that's why I didn't call you." I said while looking away.“You could’ve just texted me.” he said in a hard voice.I slowly nodded, "a-alright. I'm sorry." I said before opening the door of his car.But before I could get out completely, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I turned to him as he greeted me with a kiss on the lips. My eyes widened and stared at the seat as I felt his kiss on my lips. Softly but I can feel his restraint on my lips. He bit my lower lip slightly before pulling away from the kiss. He put some light kisses again before looking deep into my eyes.“Just don’t make
“Fuck. I don’t think I can revenge now.” he whispered but I didn't understand because I was sleepy.I just woke up to a gentle caress I feel on my arm and the soft fingers touching my shoulder and jaw. And the big arms wrapped around my waist in a tight hug. He almost pressed his body against me while I turned my back to him and felt his body on my back.“Good morning, my wife.” He kissed my shoulder and jaw consecutively making me groan lightly. “Can you still stand?” I immediately woke up and my eyes widened at his question and I blinked.“We . . . really did it . . . last night?” I asked, still couldn’t believed that we really did have sex last night.“Yeah,” he said hoarsely before nuzzling his nose on my neck. “Why? You don’t believe we did that?” he asked in his bedroom voice.“I-I just can't believe it . . . I mean . . .” I bit my lower lip, feeling embarrassed now.He chuckled seductively, “that was awesome. Our making love last night was damn amazing.” It just made my cheeks
