My Ex-Husband's Temptation 43: Will You Marry Me Again?
CALCIFER:I raised my eyebrows. “So what? Do you think I will give you a special treatment? Why would I, Carmela? Prove your worth in my company. What can you offer? Show it and you will not regret it.”Her lips pressed into a thin line. “No. I won't stoop that low.”My forehead knotted. This woman was hopeless and I deeply regretted marrying her. “You won't stoop that low?” I asked and shook my head. “Fine. Do what you want. I won't be forcing you with anything. But you're not taking any money from me. I already gave you a lot when we divorced.”She pouted. “It was your decision to divorce. Not mine. I never wanted to be separated from you.”“I never dreamed of having a wife who would only cheat on me. You think I won't know what we're doing behind my back?”Her lips quivered. “You just don't trust me. That's why you put those damn CCTV cameras inside the house. Did you ever trust me, Cali?”I did. Before we got married. Before we were just friends. “You cannot be trusted, Carmela.
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 44: Goodbye
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
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 45: Groom
WINTER:Am I waiting for my ex-husband? Why would I?Why don't you tell the truth, Winter? At some point, you were waiting for him, right? You're somewhat worried about his whereabouts. There were a lot of instances in which rich people were kidnapped. Some were killed because of some sort of revenge. I scolded myself for thinking such bad thoughts. My ex-husband and I might not be on good terms, but I did not want him to be murdered in cold blood. Besides, as far as I knew, he had bodyguards surrounding him. “It had been a week since the last time he came here,” Ynes commented. “I don’t want to pry, but he was always calling you, right? Communication is the best between two people.”Yeah. She was right. It had been a week since Cali did not visit, though he kept on video calling Liam while saying he had something to do in the company. “It was not me whom he was always calling. It was our son Liam. It had nothing to do with me, Ynes. That man…he does not have any feelings for me.
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 46: Absence
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
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 47: Punched
WINTER:My ex-husband was only messing at me, right? He was only asking those words so that I would get angry, or he wanted to embarrass me. But that was what he was mistaken about. I would never give him the satisfaction.“Why would I miss you? Are you a part of my family? Are you, my husband? You belonged in the past, Calcifer and you would stay there forever.”He clutched his chest. “Your words are cruel, pumpkin.”“What you did was more than cruel,” I retorted. He heaved a sigh. “How long will we keep on dragging the past? We cannot move forward with that, pumpkin.”“I will forever remember the past because I don't want you to forget that you are now my ex-husband. You were part of my past. If not for Liam, I would never ask for your presence, Calcifer. Seeing you made me remember the past and I could not help it.”I stood, but he instantly pulled my hand down.I gasped when I landed on top of him. His body was all muscles. Those delicious muscles I had ran my hands when we cons
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 48: Good Time
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
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 49: Can I See Jett-Jett?
WINTER:I squinted my eyes. “Where did that come from?”He averted his gaze, which he usually did. “I saw you smiled at him when he pushed you on top of him.”I tried to recall if I acted like a teenager squealing because of happiness as she touched her crush's body, but I did not. “Is there a problem with that? We did not kiss or fuck each other in the living room. Besides, I am single. So is Cali though I am not saying that I wanted something to happen between us. That chapter of my life was already closed, Hawk.”He stared at me for a moment before he looked away again. “You are right. There is nothing wrong with that as long as you two loved each other.”I narrowed my eyes. “Wait. Stop whatever wrong thinking you have in your mind. I wanted to clarify. Who said we loved each other? Calcifer loved Carmela. He never loved me. What did you see earlier? He was messing me out. Trying to make fun. I was out of the equation. Cali had no feelings, okay?”Now, why did that thought stung
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 50: Jett-Jett
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
