Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) -
Chapter 86
After all, I've lived with him a long time. I want to forget his smell, but I can't.
Callen puts me against the wall and grabs my neck with one hand. He smiles with satisfaction. "So you still miss me." "Stop dreaming." I explain, "It's just that I know you so well."
"I love it when you pretend you don't care about me."
As he speaks, he gets close to my face. In order not to kiss his face, I turn my head and look at the other side.
I taunt him. "Shouldn't you be with Maisy now?"
"You've been the only thing on my mind lately. As soon as I close my eyes, I think of you. I miss you so much that I came here as soon as I got off work." He caresses my cheek gently.
I can't see his face clearly. If I could, I might be disgusted by his so-called affectionate eyes.
I won't believe a word he says. Can I trust a man who killed his unborn child and
abandoned his wife?
I smile at him and speak softly, "Callen, do you think I'll believe you?"
"Won't you? You must know how I feel. How can you suspect me?" he questions.
"Only fools will believe you." After that, I chuckle and push him away.
He didn't see that coming, so he looks shocked.
It's late and I'm alone with him in my house. I need to be on guard in case he does something to me.
He frowns and looks at me. "It's that what you really think?"
"I remember exactly what I heard on your doorstep that day. You think I will be with someone who killed my mom?"
"I didn't! I've told you this a million times." He gets a little excited.
I don't know why he's so excited. "But it's up to me whether I believe you or not."
"Chelsea, you can't be so cruel to me. Your mom is dead and that's not gonna change. Can you just let it go?" He looks sincere.
If he were Harrison, I might listen to him. But now I just feel sick.
I feel ashamed for this hypocrite!
I sneer. "Enough. You standing in my house is an insult to my mom. Please get out of here. My mom and I don't want to see you again." "Isn't it better to let bygones be bygones?" he asks.
I shake my head and answer decisively, "No. This is never gonna be a thing of the past!" "Don't you feel guilty when you stand here? Aren't you afraid my mom's gonna come to your dreams?"
I may have overestimated him. He's so shameless that he probably doesn't know what it's like to feel guilty.
It's a good thing my mother's gone. If she knew Callen was still harassing me, she'd feel sorry for me. This jerk ruined my life.
Then, I realize his face gets ghastly and his breathing gets louder. Obviously, he's furious now. I'm actually kind of happy to see him so annoyed.
But he suddenly grabs me by the neck, which makes it hard for me to breathe.
"Are you trying to piss me off?" He leans close to my face and asks with clenched teeth.
I force a smile and say, "If you think I am, I am."
"After all these years, you haven't changed a
bit. Do you know why I chose Maisy?"
It's the first time he has mentioned it. I thought I was over it, but my heart still hurts.
For my tragic past, not for him.
"Wan't it because you craved power and money?" I ask with a smile.
He squeezes my neck, and I feel my face turn red from lack of breath. I don't know if he lost it because he wants to kill me, or because he tries to stop me from talking about my mother's death. But I don't think he's actually gonna kill me.
He won't give up everything he has now. If he kills me, not only will he lose his hard-earned money and power, he'll go to jail. So I'm not afraid, though I feel uncomfortable.
As I expected, he lets go of me in the next second. Lowering his head, he chuckles and then puts his hand into the pocket.
"Chelsea, let me ask you one more time. Are you willing to be with me?"
I stop rubbing my neck and give a mocking smile. "You think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice?"
"As soon as you have my baby, I'll divorce Maisy. You won't lose another child. I promise."
"Your promise means crap to me. Callen, now
that you're rich, there must be a lot of girls who'd love to be with you. Get over me." I don't understand why he insists on being with me.
But I'll never give a man who cheated on me another chance.
A shadow of smile touches his mouth. "You're not the best, but I don't like it when other men get their hands on you. You're mine!"
He raises his voice and gives an evil smile. Before I react, he picked me up, walked to the bedroom, and threw me on the bed.
