WINTER:Each passing day had become worse. After the press found out that Liam and I existed in Cali’s life, the press was able to locate our address and were now camping outside the house, waiting for me to step outside and wait for my statement.There were also some angry “fans” of Cali who sent me a letter demanding that I must die for taking away their beloved Cali. Only a few individuals knew that I existed in his life before. Not only was our wedding rushed, but both families had agreed to make it private so that only the investors of both our companies would know about our wedding. I wondered if Carmela had received the same hate when she married Cali. Unlike me, the woman wanted the world to know that they had married since she was too proud of her achievement. “Miss Winter,” a servant called while approaching me. Glancing over my shoulder, she was wearing a worried expression on her face. I was in the swimming pool, with no desire to swim at all. I just wanted to stare a

WINTER:As I waited for Samson to answer me, the other part of my mind refused to believe that Samson was that kind of man. We only just played during Family Day, so why did he betray me? Did he buy it for the press? How much did he pay for it?The last thing I remember, is Cali said Samson was the most loyal man he ever met…I guessed my ex-husband was wrong this time. “Samson?”Recognition hit his eyes. “You! Miss Winter? Is that you?”I put both of my hands on my hips. The servants kept on restraining him. “Yes, me. What’s the problem?”“You are Mr. Calcifer’s wife! I'm glad I found you!”My cheeks flamed. “I am not his wife. I am his ex-wife.” I cleared my throat when I remembered what we were talking about. “Let's go back to know what we are talking about.”“Oh. That must be the reason,” he retorted, not really answering what I said. “The reason for what?”Samson cried in pain when the maids pushed him to the ground. “Miss Winter, this man was trying to make you lower your gr

WINTER:This was not the first time that Hawk offered me to kill someone in my stead. And each time he did that, it always brought shivers running down my spine. It was scary how this man loved. If no one would stop him from his killing spree, then who would? I inhaled deeply. There was so much more to life than killing someone because something got out of hand. “Don’t put blood on your hands for my sake. It’s not worth it. Killing someone is not worth it regardless of your reasons, Hawk. Don't do it for me. Don't do it for someone else.”“It is worth it, Miss Winter. You are always worth it. I am willing to be killed and get killed for you.” He watched his hands and fear gripped in his eyes as if he remembered the sin he did a couple of years ago. The sin that he was trying to forget was now coming back to him. “I…already killed someone.” It was not bragging on his part. It was more like recalling a nightmare. His body shivered at the memory. I engulfed him with a hug. He stiff

HAWK:Miss Winter was disappointed in me. How will I face her after this? I made my intention pretty clear that I loved her. And now she will hear that I had sex with Nathalia Wright? Her ex-husband's secretary?“Miss Winter…please?”She looked away. My shoulders dropped. She would think I was playing with her feelings. She would think I was a liar on top of that. All because of Nathalia Wright. Why did she have to come with perfect timing? Miss Winter left me and the woman, without giving me the chance to explain. Just as I was about to follow her, Nathalia blocked my way with a grin on her face. Dammit. Why did it happen like this? I had no plans of telling Miss Winter of what happened that night. I was about to bury it in my grave. The very reason why I told her I would visit my family was so that Nathalia wouldn't be able to locate me.Everything was according to plan until she arrived. I nearly succeeded in evading her. "I was glad I came to visit this house. If not, I wil

WINTER:As I was about to go to bed, the servant knocked on my door, and I was informed by the servant that Calcifer was there. Frowning, I stared at the clock on the wall. And it was like what? Ten o’clock in the evening.Why was he here?This was the first time he had visited after almost three weeks of not seeing each other. I glanced at the other side of the bed. Liam was already fast asleep as well as Dad. When I retired to my room, I already felt like a dried vegetable. There had been a lot of happenings in the house. I did not know where I managed to get the energy in my day-to-day life. Maybe it had something to do with my son. If not for Liam, I had already given up by now. I was about to sleep now. “Why do men always give me problems?” I mumbled to myself. After Nathalia's visit, Hawk and I had not been able to talk about it. The man seemed to be avoiding me at all costs. I had no idea what the two had conversed about. All I was hoping was that they had come to an agree
