Silent confessions

"Calista!" Nix called out to me. "What? Is there a problem?" I felt the tension in his eyes. "You're not going to jail anymore, Caliee. The accident proved everything!" He shouted, embracing me and kissing my forehead. I couldn't help but slowly start to cry. "It's okay, Caliee, I told you that you're innocent." "T-thank you, Nix." I checked all my social media accounts and found both negative and positive comments at the same time. This is the reality that I can't avoid haters in the online world. Many are on my side, many are on Caleb's, as if we're fighting our own beliefs. I sat down on the couch, feeling incredibly happy and anxious at the same time. I know Caleb won't give up on me. "Calista!" I heard someone call my name outside the hotel door. "Come out!" they shouted, banging on the door. When I opened it, the heavily intoxicated Caleb greeted me, "C-Caleb?" I asked. Many were holding him back, but he was struggling, "L-let go, bro." He looked at me as if scrutinizing my entire being. "Fine! Let out your anger on me, what else do you want? Everything's been proven... It was all an accident!" As the guards left, he entered my room, slowly approaching me until I leaned against the wall. His eyes were filled with rage and hatred, as if he could kill me at any moment. "W-what do you--" I couldn't speak anymore as he punched the wall next to me. “Why, Calista? Why did you take away the woman I love?" He shouted at me while continuing to cry. "W-what do you want!" I shouted back, pushing him away. He threw my belongings, hitting my foot, causing me to stumble. "D-damn it, what!" I held my injured foot, looking straight at him, observing his angry face. I took a deep breath and spoke again, "What do you want to make you quiet? My body? Money? Wealth! That's all I have! If you want me to bring back your fiancée..." "I'm not God! Do you understand? If I could bring her back, I would've done it already, I regret it every day, every hour." I want this to end, I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore. I straightened my head bravely. I uttered the words I knew I would regret. "If I have sex with you, will you forgive me?" I bravely asked, tears slowly streaming down my cheeks. He stared at my entire body, unable to even look into my eyes. "I will never forgive you," he replied weakly and hoarsely. "Why? It wasn't intentional, it was all an accident! It's not my fault that your fiancée died, I lost my brakes, how many times do I have to tell you that I-I'm not at fault!" "It's your fault! because damn you, why? Calista? why did you kill my fiancée!" A loud shout stunned me. It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's an accident, I didn't mean to kill anyone, I didn't have brakes that day! "Why don't you just give up? Why do you still fight for your beliefs, even though both of us know that it's really you! f*ck you! Calista." I took a deep breath and looked at his face. "W-will you have sex with me! After that, my debt to you will be paid, can we do that, prosecutor Villanueva?" I bravely asked again. He stared at me, unresponsive. "Stop," he shouted loudly. "Why? Don't you want to? So I can pay you back! You'll disgrace me! Take away my dignity! Because it's my fault! Because I'm a b*tch! Because this is what you want, to feel every day that something is being taken from me! That I'm being robbed! But you don't want money, you want me to regret it every day, so here it is." He approached me and kissed me, my tears flowing as he kissed me, while he undressed me, I was sobbing softly, he continued kissing me, from my ears down to my neck, he observed my entire body. He slowly laid me down, slowly removing my clothes, as he did, I closed my eyes. He continued to explore my body, from my thighs to even the deepest parts of my femininity. DESCRIPTION: "Caleb Wyven Villanueva" is a prosecutor who is willing to do everything for his loved one, recognizing nothing, but what is in accordance with the law.

Painful desire

"Leave me alone, Shantal!" ash said annoyed to me. He's my husband, actually I'm probably the only one who calls him husband because he never once considered me his wife. And his family just forced him to marry me, so he followed it against his will. I smiled at myself in front of the mirror and wiped my tears. I know that he didn't love me, because he still hopes that his ex girlfriend or let's say ex fiance will come back to him. Our scene at the mansion is always fighting, sometimes he ignores me like I'm just wind by his side. And most of all we have different rooms, I laughed at what I thought because the other couple had only one room but we didn't. "Let's eat ma'am" I heard the knock in my room."yes manang" I said. I stood up and went downstairs and saw my husband done with his meal and ready to go. "Are you going to leave?" I asked, he just looked at me and left, not even an answer. I ate quietly by myself and just ignored it. After I ate, I decided to go to mom's mansion, but I was just outside the gate when I felt weak and I could barely handle what I saw. I saw ashton leaning in his car while kissing with someone. __________

I am just his wife

“LUCAS!” I happily called my husband when I saw him outside the small house. He just stood there. I opened the door of my car and hurriedly got out and ran to where he was. My tears flowed quickly and the heaviness in my chest suddenly disappeared when I saw him after two years of his absence. "Lucas..." I cried, saying his name and hugging him tightly. I could feel his stony face and I knew he was surprised by what I did. "I-I miss you so much, Lucas... I've been looking for you for so long... I thought... I-I thought I'd never see you again..." I told him crying and I buried my face in his chest. My tears fell one after the other. He has been missing for two years after the accident happened to him and we have not been able to find him. Most people said that he might be dead, even though we didn't see his body. It was raining heavily at that time. The ship they were on sank and we spent several years looking for him. I never got tired of looking for him because I knew...he was alive. My husband is alive... He promised that he would never leave me. He promised that we would be together forever. That's why I felt so much pain when we lost him and fortunately his friends helped and we found him in a distant province. Even though it was dark, I still came out. I miss Lucas so much that I couldn't wait any longer. I traveled alone to this place. I just cry on his chest but I feel like he doesn't move. But I didn't pay attention to that and I hugged her tighter. "B-Let's go back, Lucas... Let's go back to Manila... S-I missed you so much... I love you... M-I love you so much..." I said and he started moving . I thought he was going to hug me back but I was wrong. He slowly released my hands that were hugging his body and retreated slightly. “L-Lucas?” I said his name in confusion. Why is he walking away and why? "Bythesea..." he said my name. I nodded tearfully. "Y-Yes, it's me... It's me, Lucas... I'm Bythesea..." I said. “Only a few of my memories came back but...” According to my private investigator, Lucas developed amnesia due to his head injury. That's why he didn't come back to us right away because he forgot about us. It was painful for me that my husband would forget me, but it all disappeared when I saw him again. I was so happy and the iron-like thing attached to my neck disappeared so I can breathe well. "U-Let's go home, Lucas..." I said and held his hand. I felt something cold on his finger. I looked down at it and I thought at first it was our wedding ring but I was wrong... This is no longer her ring... I stopped crying for a moment and my lips parted. I looked at him again... "Lucas..." "Franko, dear?" I froze when I heard a woman's voice and she approached my husband. He hugged his arm and he didn't notice me yet. "Franko, it's foggy here. You might get sick... Come inside, my love...” My chest felt numb at what I heard and I looked confusedly at Lucas who was no longer looking at me. But with the beautiful woman... There is a sparkle in her eyes... That I only see every time she looks at me. Why do I see that in others? I cried... It was like I felt a little jealousy. "Come on, Franko..." "Just a moment, dear..." I suddenly felt soft... My knee immediately shook. What... What's dear? Who is he? Who is this girl? B-Why... "W-Who are they?" "Who are you?" instead of answering him I just returned his question. "Who are you?" I repeat my question. "My name is Nenina. Franko is my husband. M-Do you need anything?" My eyes quickly searched for an evidence if what they were saying was true. It was like something like a knife went into my chest when I saw the partner of the ring that my husband was wearing... “L-Lucas...” "Franko... His name is Franko..." the woman corrected me and I shook my head. I started crying again. I can't even wipe my cheeks anymore. “Lucas... W-What is this?” It took a long time before he answered me... "I'm married to Nenina, Bythesea... Sorry..." I clutched my chest. I was deafened by what I heard and felt like the world stopped spinning. My heart stopped beating for a moment until it started beating faster. "Lucas..." I can't accept... How...is he already married to someone else? W-We are married... He is my husband... Lucas is my husband...
