Chapter 133: Only you
Caleb's POV
I glanced at my palm, I know I'm dying and in my last days, I just want her. Today, I experience happiness with the people who were always there to move the company forward.
However, I didn't want to rush things, to approach her or pull her to my side and cuddle.
Her hatred always shows. The cool breeze was enthralling and the night cold had creep in.
There was no one outside as it was time for slumber but I can't find the rest I wish for.
Perhaps, this is all part of the punishment.
Here I am, at the balcony sipping my whiskey when I sighted her downstairs roaring and cussing.
I was worried, something was pissing her off. I quickly paced downstairs to meet her, although, I pretended as though I was taking a walk.
I was behind her, I almost touched her when she said;
"I swear it, I'd cut his dick and feed it to him and say; Caleb, you cheat huh, you accused me of an affair when you fuck around with women!"
I folded my hand, feeling devastated by her words. I was hard on her, I regret it. Her words hits me hard, I did everything just to buy this company where she works, just so I could peek at her everyday, I rented an apartment opposite hers.
Even if she hates me, my longing heart wasn't willing to let go yet. I wish she'd hit me, pour out those frustration on me but never leave me.
"I'd kill him, bury him, dig him up and laugh at his corpse!"
Her voice has become monstrous as she gives me goosebumps, expressing the depth of her loathe for me.
I began to move back not wanting her to see me close by but somehow she turned around and found me.
Amaris flinched as she stuttered back like she have seen a ghost.
"Hmm, I got to hear my murderer's confession before death" I whispers and she widened her eyes at me but then kept a straight face.
"There's no witness!" She spat and I scoffed taking out my phone.
"It's recorded, if anything happens to me, you'd be blame" I warned and she swallowed hard.
Her body shivers in the cold and the wind blew her hair apart covering her eyes which was quite distracting for her as she intends to speak but wasn't.
I quickly took off my coat, moved closer to her but her feet stepped back, she just didn't want to stand the chances of me being close.
However, I grabbed her wrist mildly, pulling her closer to me and then, I covered her with the coat.
She suck her breath, staring into my eyes which her shoulders fell slightly low.
I moved behind her, and used a strand of her hair to tie the rest back.
It was quite tempting, touching the woman I always longed for.
"Now, you can talk" I whispered and she shoved her gaze at me. Her lips trembles and I knew she needed something warm in this cold.
"But I can delete the evidence on one condition" I added as an idea has spark up in my head. Amaris rolled her eyes, even if she didn't speak, she wanted me to tell her the condition.

A smile was suspended on her lips at every sip she took down from the mug of coffee.
Her feet tapped the marble tiles like a child and I couldn't help but stare. However, that smile keeps fading away when she sees me.
I was at a distance, on the couch, going through some paper works, pretending not to look when I was actually stealing peeks of her.
I had convinced her for a cup of coffee but before we came, she made me delete the record.
I seriously had nothing on me and so I just deleted a random file and then brought her to my suite.
Her eyes scruntized everywhere like she was looking for something to pin a blame on me.
I brewed coffee for her, even though I knew she didn't reject it, I just had to convince her it's not posioned.
However, she decided to brew it herself even though she was bad at it.
In the end, she took my coffee and now she's drinking it with some toasted bread that I made.
Her lips crunches it noisily. She knows I hate such disgusting sounds from her mouth and it clicks on me that she might be doing that on purpose.
"You should stop fucking around with employees or it would ruining your image" she began unexpectedly and I shifted my gaze to her.
I haven't fucked with anyone since that incident that made me lose her. It got to an extent that I thought I was practicing celibacy.
I scoffed at her, is she scared or jealous that someone might snatch me away.
Interesting.
"If you won't end up with those girls, then stop giving them false hope or destroy their lives" she added reminding me so much of the past and I gulped hard.
Now she's speaking like a mom who is willing to defend the young employees in my company and I heaved a sigh.
"You don't believe people have changed, do you?"
"Have you changed Caleb, that's a question you should ask yourself" she interjected and I folded my lips, placing the papers in my hand on the table next to me.
That question hits hard, will I ever change? I'm still working on myself though and by the time I become fully changed, I might be dead though.
"It's step by step..."
"If you're doing all these to make me come back to you, then stop because I am not, I meant it when I said it is over"
"Is that what you think?" I asked and then burst into a frantic laughter which got her surprised.
It hurts that she said that but I just didn't want her to feel like I was doing everything for her.
It's just to see how she'd react when I say the next line.
"Who says I want you back? Don't fool yourself amaris, i'm being different for myself" I declared not taking my eyes off her.
