You weren’t dreaming. He did take me away and tormented me for over an hour before finally allowing me to return to

you

With a peculiar expression, Calista took a moment before managing to reply, “I… I went downstairs for a drink of water.

“Hmm?” Wanda sat on the bed, looking at her curiously. “Is there no water left in the fridge?”

Calista gave a non–committal hum in response, then climbed into bed, ready to sleep.

Wait!” Wanda suddenly exclaimed, reaching out to grab her wrist. “What happened to your hands? They look like someone has been squeezing them. They’re all red!”

Her words instantly reminded Calista of how her hands had been twisted behind her earlier when he pinned her beneath him, immobilizing her and leaving her at his mercy. The memory made her face flush red instantly, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

“It’s nothing serious, probably just an allergy. A good night’s sleep should sort it out!”

Since it was quite late, Wanda didn’t give it much thought when she saw Calista had returned. She was extremely tired and decided to continue her sleep. Before drifting off, she managed to mumble, “Callie, don’t worry… With me here… Kallum will be fine…

She didn’t explicitly express her suspicions about Kallum’s health condition. Instead, she comforted Calista, planning to resolve the matter the following day,

Calista lay down, turning her back to Wanda. She glanced at her own wrists, which were indeed swollen. Not only that, she guessed that she was probably a complete mess beneath her nightgown. Kallum had left quite a few marks on her, as if he wanted to vent all his pent–up energy on her. Moreover, she had seen flashes of white light several times and felt as if she was falling from the clouds. Could those have been orgasms?

At that thought, her face turned increasingly red, and it felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her throat!

Back when she was eighteen, all she had felt was pain, and the previous time, she had been in control, so it was truly a fleeting experience, unlike today. She felt as if she was no longer herself and utterly powerless, completely at the mercy of Kallum as he did whatever he wanted to her.

Ah… Stop thinking about it!

Calista patted her own face, forcing herself to sleep.

Despite the obvious aches in her body and her exhaustion, her mind refused to rest. The moment she closed her eyes, she could feel his warmth and hear his low, seductive voice whispering sweet nothings in her car, calling her name!

She was going mad! What was happening to her? Why did she keep recalling these things?

The next day, when Calista woke up, she felt absolutely terrible. Her body had been pushed to its limits the night before, which led to her going to bed late. To make matters worse, she woke up with a sore back and aching lower region. Had Kallum thought of her as an enemy last night?

Although her mind was teeming with thoughts, Calista maintained her usual stoic expression. Only those. close to her could discern something was amiss.

Upon seeing Calista’s weary appearance, Wanda curiously asked, “Didn’t you sleep well last night? You seem quite drained!”

Calista nodded. “I had a nightmare.”

“Oh…” Wanda nodded, then muttered under her breath, “Being young is truly a blessing, isn’t it? Even with a lack of sleep, your skin still appears as if it’s been nourished. How enviable!”

Upon hearing that, Calista wished she hadn’t. She truly didn’t know how to express her feelings at the

moment.

Fortunately, she had given herself an acupuncture treatment the previous night to prevent pregnancy. Otherwise, her situation would have been even more pitiful. She was sure it was that half cup of milk that led her to act so irrationally!

Upon seeing Kallum, Wanda was taken aback. “Kallum, did you also have a rough night?”

Kallum’s eyes were bloodshot, his complexion looking particularly ghastly, clearly indicating that he hadn’t slept a wink the previous night.

Upon seeing his supposedly “sick” mother, Kallum’s expression turned peculiar. But as a man, there was no way he could hold a grudge against his own mother, could he?

And so, he muttered under his breath, “Yeah. I had a bit of trouble sleeping, but I’m fine.”

Wanda found herself wondering why both hadn’t slept well last night. Could this possibly be some sort of psychic connection?

During breakfast, Kallum glanced at Calista from across the table. An aggrieved expression appeared on his face, making it seem as if he was the one who had suffered a great injustice the night before.

Seeing that, Calista grew upset. She was the orfe who had suffered at his hands, and yet, he had the audacity to look wronged? What was he trying to pull? She was determined not to let this kind of behavior slide!

Once she noticed everyone had arrived, Wanda softly cleared her throat. “Callie, are you planning to visit the hospital today?”

Calista nodded, which only served to darken Kallum’s expression. He stabbed at the food in front of him with his fork, his mind filled with longing. When would Calista be able to accompany him to his Wouldn’t the sight of her working invigorate him a hundredfold?

company?

Wanda then turned to Kallum. “Kallum, hold off on rushing to the company for a bit. I have something to discuss with you.”

Calista was taken aback, slightly fearful that Wanda might inadvertently reveal the truth. Considering Kallum’s intimidating demeanor last night, reminiscent of a wolf ready to pounce, she wouldn’t dare to return tonight if that were the case.

Thus, she looked at Kallum with anticipation, hoping that he had urgent matters to attend to and would have to leave immediately.

However, Kallum let her down, responding with a lackluster nod.

“All right.”

Wanda was pleased. She turned to the housekeeper beside her and said, “Go check if Old M. Yancey is up yet. I’ll need his help with something later!”

The housekeeper hurried off, leaving Calista feeling restless. She thought it best to leave first; if the Situation spiraled out of control later, she feared she wouldn’t be able to escape,

“I’ve finished eating

“Hmm? Is that all you’re eating?”

“Eat some more!”

Wanda and Kallum spoke at the same time. Kallum was thinking, considering how hard she had worked the night before, how could he not ensure she was properly taken care of?
