Classic Novel
Chapter 29
“What’s the fuss about it, Callum? Why? If you’ve found out that I am a Sullivan, will you even consider choosing me instead of Shane, your first love?”
Callum sighed heavily. He could feel the wrath banging against him as he put his hands at the sides of his waists while his jaw was clenching.
“You think I would use you for my business agendas, Ciara?”
“Why? Isn’t that what you did to me in the past? Offering a marriage so you could use me? Not filing a divorce because the company would be affected?”
Callum sighed heavily again. He looked so done, and it was etched on his face.
“Ciara, as I told you, it was my own way so I could even know you better. So I could…be closer to you. But I meant when I chose you. It was sincere. It’s just that it turned out drastically when I’ve seen you a lot of times meeting that Sullivan, which…. his jaw clenched and he looked at her with a hint of betrayal. “Your brother?”
“You never trust me, and I don’t trust anyone when it comes to my personal life, Callum. I am not permitted to share anything.”
“You married me,” he bargained. “We were supposed to trust each other.”
“Don’t give me that foolish reason when you weren’t on my side at that moment. I needed you the most,” she said, gritting her teeth.
“I said I was doing that to protect you!”
“To protect me?! I felt abandoned on that day, Callum And that woman…I saw her at the mall that day, you were there too! She traumatized my daughter!”
Callum’s eyes immediately softened as soon as he heard Ciara’s daughter.
“If you
you are pursuing me so that bitch could get back to me-pointing fingers that I was the reason why her child died- which was your child, then stop pursuing me anymore. I’ve seen through your motives and I…”
“What? You think…I impregnated her?” He cut her off and stepped closer.
Ciara wasn’t fazed by the fact that Callum was already inches in front of her, his face level with hers as she clearly saw the storm in Callum’s eyes.
“You think I’d slept with another woman while I’m married to you, Ciara?” he hissed and put his hands on the side of hers, locking her in his arms.
Ciara remained leaning against the door, while Callum was now completely facing her.
Ciara glanced at the other side, checking the cars when her bodyguards went out of the car one by one, but Callum just held her chin and turned it to face him again.
“Eyes on me, miss,” he said with a thick accent.
Oh, damn it…
“You think I’d sleep with her, Clara?” he asked, leaning closer as if he were trying to pull those butterflies Ciara had buried for how many years just to kill her feelings for him.
“How would I even know when she’s your first love, Callum? I can’t read what’s on your mind. You might be fantasizing over

her every time you two spend time together.”
Callum chuckled mockingly as his hot breath kissed her lips.
“You’d be so traumatized if you could read what’s on my mind during those times,” he whispered as he tilted his head and looked at her tauntingly.
“I’ve waited for you patiently because I don’t want anyone. I want you at that moment. If you think I’m not serious about us at that time, then you think I’d offer you marriage?“
Ciara’s stomach was churning. She looked at him with her sleepy eyes.
“Callum, what do you want to happen now? I don’t want to be in your world anymore. I already went out.” She pushed him a bit, but her hand held onto his necktie so tightly that Callum’s eyes drifted on it.
So instead, he leaned closer again.
“Then let me into your world this time. Let me know you for real, this time. Not as a Sullivan, nor that woman you’ve introduced to me from the past, but the real you. The Ciara whom I’ve seen in Paris drinking her coffee calmly. The Ciara whom I’ve seen having her own quality time like the whole world doesn’t matter to her because she has built her own world. Let me in.. and I promise…I promise I would do everything to deserve it.”
Ciara looked into his eyes. It was almost melting as if he were pleading for his life.
“Then drop the Wilsons,” she said firmly.
Callum’s brows are knit.
“Why? You can’t drop them? Because they were the reason why you’ve made it to the top? And without them, you would be nothing?”
It was a straight insult Ciara was firing to see if Callum was willing to surrender something that involved the business in which Callum has worked over the years.
Callum sighed. Ciara saw the confidence that never vanished in her.
“This isn’t about businesses or the names we are carrying. Ciara But if that’s the only thing that would calm you down, as I know I am the reason why you don’t trust me anymore, then I will let you control it. I will let you have it on your own.”
Callum was nodding as if he would give everything Ciara would demand from her.
She was a bit guilty, but she wanted to see an assurance that Callum was willing to drop whatever connection he had with Shane. The woman whom she felt like a great threat to her-and to her daughter.
“Just please, after this, let me pursue you. Take me back,” he said pleadingly. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The Callum that seems like a beast-the CEO of Haynes and now a billionaire-is begging for her to take him back. And she cannot believe that no matter how she tries to kill the feelings she has for him, Callum has always found ways to pull them. back
“One wrong move, and you know what will happen this time, Callum.”
He chuckled a little. “I don’t care if you’re a Sullivan. Because one wrong move, I’d lose you. That’s it, Ciara.”
Cura gulped down If Shane didn’t show up in the mall and traumatized her daughter, she wouldn’t remember the painful past, and she would probably be in Callum’s arms right then
She was holding back on giving him a chance because it he hurt her, it wasn’t her who would end up being hurt, not even her daughter
“Yes. You won’t just lose me. You will lose…two of me.”
Callum’s brow knits. He looked confused, wondering what Ciara meant by her words.
She sighed and she could feel the storm brewing inside her hear. Callum, don’t disappoint your daughter.
