WINTER:Calcifer opened his mouth but no words would come of it. Then, he closed it again, his shoulders lowering. "I am only trying to make you safe, pumpkin. Is it bad?""I am safe when I am with Hawk," I pressed. "I feel safe around him. I am comfortable around him. Please don't meddle any more with my affairs, Calcifer. I don't like it. Go." I turned my back to him, without listening to his answer. I went upstairs to my room with Hawk tailing me.Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Calcifer downstairs turn his back and go to his car. He thought it was romantic to dictate my life. If he did that while we were still married, maybe it was romantic. I was hopelessly in love with him. It was already late, Calcifer. I moved on with my son. "Miss Winter. Can we talk?" Hawk asked before I could enter my room. I inhaled deeply before I faced him. "Look, Hawk. I admit it was my mistake. It won't happen again. I understand why you are mad at me."“That's…not what I will say.”“What is

CALCIFER:I shook my head. “I already told you that there will never be us. I already chose the woman whom I would like to spend the rest of my life with, Carmela. And it is Winter. I will be focusing on our son, too.”Her eyes bulged. “Winter? That woman? But she doesn't like you anymore! Why would you come to her? Why would you choose her when I am already here? It is I you need, Cali!” she exclaimed, her eyes widening. “Compared to you, she will never cheat on me.”She looked at me with disbelief. “Cali. Didn’t I promise already? I said I will change for the better. Do you want me to take care of Jett-Jett? Fine. I will do it. I will be the one to take care of her starting from now. You can fire the nanny. Just…don’t choose that woman, okay?” she begged.I heaved a sigh. “I already chose Carmela. It is Winter. We have a child.”“Jett-Jett is also your daughter. Will you just leave her?”“Who said I will be leaving her? I did not say that. All I am saying is that I will pursue Wint

WINTER:All I could do was stare at my ex-husband strolling towards us, with a smirk on his face. He wore a comfortable white T-shirt and black shoes, which he did not normally wear, especially if he came here after work. Wait. It was still three o'clock and he was done with his pile of work?Why are you asking? Isn't he the one whom you wanted to see? You missed him. I don't miss him!Ynes and I stared at each other for a moment before I returned my gaze at him. Calcifer stopped right in front of me. "I volunteer to be your groom, pumpkin," he repeated, wearing an amused expression on his face. “When will the wedding be? Please tell me about it and I am more than willing to be part of that celebration.”I folded my arms in front of my chest. My lips pressed in a thin line. "Why are you here, Calcifer?" Why was he so good at entering at the right time when he was being backstabbed? “I thought you had a business trip abroad.”He scratched the back of his head. “About that…I did g

WINTER:Hawk seemed like he was going to kill Calcifer. His body shivered as he continued throwing punches to my ex-husband. Silently but with accuracy. The way his fist moved seemed like he had thrown all his hatred to his fist, as he aimed it directly towards Calcifer. My ex-husband was at a disadvantage. First, he had no excellent training in fighting compared to Hawk. Second, he was at a disadvantage. Calcifer was able to dodge some of the attacks, but he was not that excellent in dodging. Some punches were able to land on Calcifer's jaw while some by the couch. "Stop it, Hawk!"My voice was only swallowed by his anger. He was no longer listening as he continued throwing his punches. “Hawk! I order you to stop!”Still, my voice could not reach him. When Calcifer was able to have an opening, he returned some of the punches and landed on Hawk's jaw. "Stop it both of you!" I ordered. Panicked kicked in.What would happen if someone was sent to the hospital? It was definitely

WINTER:Seeing Jett-Jett meant seeing Carmela, too, which I did not like at all. But could I tell them that I don't approve of it?“Mommy, please? I was already looking forward to meeting Jett-Jett. We always talked over the phone.”Courtesy of Calcifer. It seemed like he wanted the two to get closer to each other so that when he would drop the bomb that they were siblings, it would be easier for the two to accept it. “This will be a good time to let them meet, pumpkin. The two have nothing to do right now.”“How about that woman?” I inquired. How would I explain to Liam if that woman will come out of the blue and do something else? Like doing inappropriate things?Like showing her cleavage in front of the kids? Or maybe in front of Cali and the kids would see how she seduced my ex-husband? “She is not living with me, pumpkin. Rest assured that she will not know I am at my house.”“And the child? Are you taking custody of your child?”“I was the one taking care of her. Carmela gave
