Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

“If…..I confessed early, will we have a different life?” He asked in the middle of the silence that made Ciara’s shoulder loosen. 

Ciara doesn’t know what to say. She was so invested in making Callum feel that she loved him that she forgot how Callum treated her in the past. But now that he pointed it out, it was like a sudden discovery of a treasure box that she opened until her memories of Callum’s secret messages for her exploded right before her eyes. 

“I don’t know_” she shrugged, but at the back of her mind, she could really tell what would happen. 

“You have her in your life, Callum. It wouldn’t change anything. You are with the woman who… wants to ruin my life,” Ciara said, as she wanted to tell him how she wanted him to get rid of Shane for good. 

Callum sighed and looked at the front as he sipped on his wine. 

“You cannot give her up the way I have given up everything in the past just to choose you,” Ciara said, which made Callum stop a bit. 

The nail hits the head. It was such a confrontation that she was already too tired to shout at him. 

“My daughter is traumatized by the woman you are protecting. And I would do everything just to protect my child, Callum. If you cannot do that for her or for me, then I’d do it for us. And you can’t blame me if I can’t introduce you to my daughter, who doesn’t want to meet you. You’ve hurt her before you ever knew, Callum.” 

Callum’s jaw clenched. It cuts deep to know that his own daughter despises him for making her mother cry, that she doesn’t trust him anymore, and that she abandoned him like how he abandoned them in the past. 

“Just trust me on this. I am trying to tame her so this would not be worse for you. I am trying to find a way to calm her down, because I don’t want her family to worsen this anymore, including Shane.” 

Ciara looked at Callum straight into his pleading eyes. It was like a hypnotic that every time she looked at him, her worries. and doubts would just vanish, and even if he was lying; she would still fall for it uncontrollably. 

“Don’t worry about Cara… If things get better, I’ll help you make her understand. But in the meantime, just give her some space,” she said unconsciously while staring at him. 

“I am not just pursuing you to be the father of our daughter, Ciara. I am in love with you. I am doing this because I want you back in my life. You don’t know how dark it was when you were not by my side. I regretted letting you slip into my hand. I regretted not telling you my feelings beforehand.” 

Ciara sighed. Her stomach was churning, and his words were melting her to the core. The feelings that she could never kill, no matter how she buried them, would always show on the surface as her boundaries crumbled like a sandcastle being washed by his ways to fall for him. 

“I promise, I will build another life for us-just you, me, and our baby. I will work on it.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Why not now? 

Her question on her mind was just so loud that she didn’t realize she had blatantly stated it vocally. 

“Shane is quite untamable. I am still trying to make her understand things,” he said. 

“She would never understand it, Callum. She thinks I killed her child. And if I were in her shoes, I don’t know if I could stand seeing the woman behind the accident that killed my child too. She was trying to find someone to blame, and seeing me as her own displacement is probably the easiest in the middle of mourning.” 

1 may hate Shane for making me her own punching bag, but I can’t blame her for being such a wreck. Though she made me the antecedent for her rebellious response because she thinks it was me who caused her suffering, everything was because

she lost her child and she was broken.

And maybe a part of me is slowly seeing the burden on Callum’s side. If he was doing it to prevent her from lashing out at me, then who am I to even question his ways of expressing how he cr 

for me? 

But… I wish he could just let go of her and prioritize me. That she doesn’t matter to him as much as I do, lets her get broken. as she falls without Callum catching her in the middle of this chaos, and that Callum cares more about what I would feel and her daughter than what Shane would feel just because she thinks he was the victim here. 

But for the second time, she was holding onto that little thing that gave her hope that there might be another chance for 

them. 

She sipped on her champagne flute again while she looked at the city lights wearily. She has never fallen in love with anyone -just him. 

She was just so loyal that all her life, she was only loving one man, and she couldn’t even replace him no matter what she did. She can’t get him out of her system. She can’t unlove him. She can’t forget him. And she would be so stupid to fall for him again when there was a sign that told her she was falling into the danger zone again. 

It was like a passion she couldn’t stop, a driving force that fuels her to always be driven by him. Just him. 

That moment felt like she was cheating on her reality, as she wanted to escape it for a bit and fall into her own fantasy, in which she could savor being with the man who seemed too contradictory in her life. A man who could burn her to ashes and ruin her so easily 

“Don’t waste this chance, Callum,” she reminded. “This is already what I only got for you. If you lose it, I don’t think you will ever find me again.” 

Callum glanced at her as he looked at her wearily. When Ciara glanced at him, he was already crouching. 

She said to herself that she would give him a chance. She would guard herself from him. She would not be easily fooled by him. But she is just so damn obsessed with Callum Haynes that his slightest touch would bend her right away. 

Callum put her champagne flute on the head of his car, which Ciara did as well so she could hug herself as she wanted to indulge in the scenery for a while. 

Callum looked into her eyes as he slowly opened his lips, leaning closer to her red lips. When it touched, he tilted his head, 

put 

his hand on the side of his cheek, and smoothly glided his hand into her neck, together with the movement of his lips kissing her lips. 

Ciara was cursing herself at the back of her mind, but half of her was enjoying it as her hand crawled at the back of his nape and she responded to his kiss as she welcomed him and kissed him back with no inhibitions. 

Callum faced her wholly until Ciara was already turning her back on the overlooking city lights, while Callum was already in front of her, pinning his body against her as they kissed passionately with no hint of rushing it as they let their lips taste each 

other. 

His other hand wrapped around her waist, while Ciara was now holding on to the side of his arm as well, as the sweet taste of their kisses mingled in their mouths while they let themselves indulge in every bit of it. 

Until Callum carried her, let her legs wrap around his waist, and put her on the sheet Callum placed earlier on the ground as the wind blew against them. 

Ciara wanted to point out how prepared he was, that if the kissing was also on his plan, the reason why he brought something they could lay at, or it just happened. 

But she was already so distracted by his kisses going to her neck that she could no longer ask him as she sat, and Callum was in between her parted legs.

Is this how you give chances, Ciara? You are leuing him get a free taste of you as well? Oh please. As if we haven’t fucked yet. 

And damn it. You were supposed to challenge him, but now you were already diving into the ocean of your lust while feeling every bit of his touch and kisses 

She realized how easily Callum could have access to her. He could easily devour her if he wanted, 

She closed her eyes as she gave him more access to her neck, like a goddess who was completely offering herself to a mortal whom she fully trusted despite how cunning humans are
