C Chapter 9
Ciara took her purse along with her as she walked to the comfort room. One thing-she wanted to see whether Callum would appear once she went out of the comfort room so that she would know what’s his problem or why he was suddenly making her feel like he had something to say.
She chuckled to herself. See? You can’t build a bridge all by yourself to get to me, and I am now throwing you a ladder so you can climb a bit at least.
She shook her head and slipped into the comfort room as she opened the purse and took out her compact powder so she could retouch at least.
Her hair was still in a high ponytail, and she could see the intensity in her eyes which was even highlighted by the make-up. She looked like a dominant CEO who’s been feared by men because she’s fearless.
She washed her hands and remembered the woman who called Chance earlier.
Probably that woman was one of Chance’s. Hmm. Then what happened to him and Shane? Wow? After that scene they made into my life, won’t they end up together?’ I didn’t even pray for karma, and yet they still separated, huh? Karma must be doing her assignments very well.
She put her hand on the dryer and dried her hands before walking out. And just as she expected, like how she planned it so he could have it on her way again, Callum materialized at the side of the hallway, crossing his arms while leaning against the wall as his strong jaw was still clenching.
Look at what we have here. What now, huh? If Cara didn’t mention you last night, I won’t even bother letting you talk to me, but because your daughter might request to see
I should formally start another episode with you. But this time, you are dealing with the real me, who has no amount of feelings for you. Let’s see how things turn out now that you have no control over me.
She continued walking without acknowledging his presence until Callum glanced at her side as he stood and put his hands in his pocket. His eyes were intensely watching her.
“Ciara,” he called authoritatively.
Ciara slowly stopped in front of him.
“Yes?”She responded-cold and distant.
Callum’s jaw clenched even more. He would admit to himself that Ciara has never changed from being cold; she just worsened. She has been emotionally detached since day one, and Callum would always feel like she cared less about things around her.
And now that he saw her again after five years, the coldness in her was now freezing him to death, as there was no hint of warmth. She was like a stranger who felt familiar, but you cannot grasp the words in your mind as if they were completely lost.
*So all along I was right,” he smirked at her with a hint of mocking.
Ciara arched her brow. She expects an apology at least, or something like a casual greeting to her.
“A leech, huh?” he smirked more as if he were trying to stab a wound that hadn’t healed yet.
“Excuse me?” Clara’s brows are knit.
Callum licked his lower lip until he crouched as their faces leveled.
“I’ve been suspecting it since day one, giving you the benefit of the doubt, and yet now, it really shows to the surface what kind of woman you are. I knew it he said thickly like he was suppressing that all this time.
Ciara couldn’t feel any guilt because she had no idea what he was talking about. Though it sounded like she was doing illegal activities behind him that she tried to deny to him from the past, Callum showed the piece of evidence that would support his claim.

You’ve been that b i t c h since day one,” he added. His words were like raining daggers as he was intending to hurt her.
“Alright. And?” She arched her brow, without any trace of humor on her face or the slightest hint that she was hurt, as if she were a robot who couldn’t.
feel things.
Though she doesn’t really know the root of Callum’s anger, his insults weren’t that hurtful anymore compared to what he had done to him in the past, and she wasn’t shaken by him anymore.
“You are shameless” Callum laughed mockingly and shook his head.
Clara chuckled as well. “You should have said that years ago when I still felt care, you know. You might get the emotion you needed,” she smirked back.
Callum’s jaw clenched. “Oh, please, Clara. Don’t turn the tables like you weren’t dying to get away from the marriage. This is your perfect plan-the reason why you filed for divorce. As a result, you could learn more in a more…
Ciara stared at her with no remorse at all. Whatever he was spouting, it weighed no emotion because she already buried what she felt for Callum.

And why would I introduce him to her? If my d

“Is that all?” Ciara asked as it showed how bored she looked.
Callum smirked, but it was pure insult and mockery. When he didn’t say anything, she tried to walk to his side, but Callum grabbed her arms and pinnedExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ciara groaned a bit when she was shocked as she saw in her peripheral vision how her bodyguards walked toward her.
“You were cheating behind my back while you were married to me, right? And you’re with him right now a

again. Is that the reason why you were so
His words were cut when Clara’s men-her own bodyguards-suddenly pulled him away from her and pinned him on the wall facing it while they restrained his arms. Callum groaned at how suddenly it happened.
Ciara was checked by one of the bodyguards as she shook her head to let them know she wasn’t hurt, while she only fixed her dress a bit, including her
composure.
“F**k! Let me go,” Callum said as he tried to free himself from their grip, but to no avail
Clara walked out without letting Callum finish. In the middle of the hallway, she stopped.
“The next time he approaches me, put a bullet in his head,” she ordered ruthlessly and continued walking without even glancing at him, saying that he wasn’t worth a single attention from her.
He was still flipping the real side of the story to justify that among us, it was him who really cheated, huh? And how would he even explain to me about his b**h Shane, who told me things about their relationship and claimed that killed her child? Playing innocent, Callum? What? You wanted to appear so clean for a good reputation? F**g a s s h o l e.
She was so disappointed. She cannot believe that Callum has never failed to disappoint her on so many levels.
And what does she mean that I’m finally with the man with whom I cheated?
She stopped her words in her mind as her walk slowed down while she was walking to the parking lot as she slowly realized Callum thought she was romantically in a relationship with Chance.

He thinks I cheated on him with Chance, That idiot thinks I’m in a relationship

my brotherl
Well, Ciara. You can’t blame him for not knowing you have a brother because you introduced yourself as an only child. You created lies in his head that he believed, which is why he has mistaken your brother for your boyfriend.
Mc.
Chance, I’m heading out first. I lost my mood. See you tomorrow!
Chance didn’t reply right away, so she slipped into her sports car and drove all the way home while Callum’s words kept ringing in her mind.
I cheated on him. How dare he poin! fingers when it was clearly him who cheated! How dare he use his dirt against me! That a s s h o l e! He thinks I have time to cheat on him when I make him my world! When I’m so in love with him! If he found out the things I’d done, he’d realize that during that moment, hewas my world!
She was pure livid as her driving went up to one hundred mph while her eyes were daggers.
The insults he had said don’t hurt, but the accusation that Callum made about her cuts deep.
She clenched her jaw, and instead of apologizing for what he had done to her, he even flipped the table.
I hope my daughter won’t be so invested in her father because I would never introduce him to her! I would never let him have his way into my life again without even crawling into the ocean of fire!
