Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Callum felt so hurt and devastated. To lose a child was already too much, but to be abandoned by his own fiancee and to be accused of leaving their child dead felt like he died right away 

He could feel the trauma Shane had put on her, and he was blaming himself for not taking action too early, which resulted in what happened to Ciara 

“I swear, I didn’t,” he broke down while explaining to Chance, who looked at him with so much anger. 

“I  told you in the first place to separate that woman from you! Look what happened! You two traumatized my sister!” 

weakly. He cannot fight Chance, and he isn’t trying to prove anything but how hurt 

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sat on the floor w he is at the 

moment. 

Ciara’s hatred was so immeasurable that Callum felt like he had lost his chance to get her back, With the wrath in her eyes earlier, it reflected how she wanted to throw Callum out of her life forever. 

Chance stood and put his hands at the sides of his hips while looking at the ceiling while his jaw was clenching repeatedly. 

“Tell me the truth, Callum. Do not  lie to me.” He glared at him. 

Callum shook his head “I would never ever do something that would put her in danger, Chance. position?” 

You think I was th 

that demon for a damn 

“Why? You aren’t? After all, the Haynes are known for craving to be at the top, and you are so fond of competing with us.” 

“Shit! By putting Ciara’s life with those men! Damn it! I proposed to her because I  love her!” 

“Then how can you explain your name written on the paper that they were forcing Ciara to sign, huh? “He grabbed him by the collar again until their faces leveled. “How can you explain that, huh?” 

Louis, who also went out of the room, watched the two seriously as he crossed his arms and leaned to the side while watching Callum Strictly. 

“I don’t even have an idea about it. I’ve mentioned it to Shane, but I told her that I am not interested in pursuing the Royale anymore,” he said with a thick accent. 

“And the text? You texted her, that’s why she was abducted because she cut off her guards. Because you told her so,” he pointed out. 

“I didn’t  text her that. I was too busy on that day since I was at the office and we planned on meeting later, so I was supposed to pick her up!” 

“Send me the CCTV footage of your office if you are telling the truth! Let’s review it!” 

Callum nodded persistently. “Please tell her I could never do that to her.” 

“You think that was so easy, huh? She was  traumatized, Callum! She was  harassed by those four  ng men! And other than that, she was even tortured, which resulted in the death of her baby! How do you think she would trust you on this when the man whom she trusted was written on the paper that’s claiming to replace her on the opportunity that was personally given to her?” 

Callum couldn’t even argue about it because she knew that Chance was right. He cannot imagine how painful and traumatizing Ciara had been through while she was kept by those men. If only he could kill those four, he would. 

But then, on top of it, the only thing he was blaming was himself because he could have stopped it earlier if he just cleared things out with Shane. 

“You’ve lost her this time. You cannot heal a lifetime scar in just seconds, Haynes,” Louis interjected. 

Callum felt like the world just crumbled down his shoulder as he could feel how heavy it was. He has never faced a battle that needed not just his mind but also his strength, but for the first time, he was in his greatest problem–that he would lose everything he has–his life–if he didn’t win. 

When he thought that everything would go smoothly for the both of them and that he would have her again as long as he assured her and he would show his efforts, nothing would go wrong, but he was wrong. 

*If I find out you were part of it, I won’t hesitate to put you behind bars too, Callum. Don’t you even   with us because we welcome you as part of us, and yet, this is what you’ve given us back? You completely lost our trust in you, motherfucker.” Chance pushed him. back on the floor as he looked at him intently and fixed the tie of his dress shirt while his jaw kept on clenching 

Callum should take all of their blame and their warnings because he would never forgive himself if something worse happened to Ciara as well. 

“Stay away from my sister from now on unless she herself wants you back,” Chance added. 

Callum ruffled his hair roughly. When he heard the cry of Cara from somewhere, as soon as he lifted his head and glanced at the alley, be saw her daughter looking at her with so much pain. 

“Cara,” he called and stood. 

“You hurt Mommy,” she cried. 

He shook his head as he hastily walked toward her and crouched down as he leveled with her. 

“No, I didn’t. There is just a little misunderstanding, Cara,” he said gently as he tried to hold her hand, but Cara took it from him. 

“You hurt my mommy! I heard it! You..you hurt her. She doesn’t want you anymore,” she sobbed as her tears were now covering her eyes while it flowed continuously like a waterfall. 

“No. Listen to me. Daddy could never 

“But you did,” Cara interjected. “I hate you. You made my mom cry. I hate you. She was so hurt!” 

Callum’s tears flowed as if it were too much to bear. His fiancee rejected him, and now his daughter who just started trusting him, was completely abandoning him as a father as well. 

“You promised, Daddy,” she said, looking at him devastatingly. 

Callum’s shoulder rocked as he bowed and cried like he had completely lost it. His whimper could be heard as everything was crumbling down, and no matter how he held it all together, it was still falling like a sandcastle slipping into his hands. 

hand. 

sorry, I failed as a man to your mom. Cara. I failed to protect her. I’m so sorry,” he cried weakly as his hand held his daughter’s little 

Cara’s cry mingled with Callum’s cry as they both sounded so hurt and betrayed. 

“I failed to protect your mom from those bad guys. I failed to shelter her in my arms. I failed to be a man for her. I failed. I completely failed, he sobbed. 

Cara’s shoulder rocked as well and her cry intensified while watching her father confess his regrets and his failure as a man. 

“If only I could have stopped it. Because of me, because of my recklessness, this happened. Callum sobbed, his chest heaving, and his shoulder continued to rock 

Callum doesn’t know how to fix things. He wasn’t even sure if he could ever gain Ciara’s trust again. She was in deep pain, and they were both mourning, but nothing beats the pain that Ciara was suffering at the moment. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He could feel that they would slip away into his life, and no matter how hard they gripped him, he would never keep them, unless they were the ones who stayed. 

“Callum, I heard what happened to Shane! Is she okay?” Mrs. Haynes asked as soon as she went to his office and checked on him. 

But the Callum that welcomed her was none other than the Callum who was pouring himself a drink instead of the Callum who workaholic in front of his laptop.

“What happened? Are you having a hard time helping Shane out? We have some lawyers. We could do it in secret if you are still getting the trust of the Sullivan, and then we could help the Wilson out secretly.” 

“That,” he pointed out and shook his head as he gulped down the drink in one shot 

Mrs. Haynes’s brows knitted as Callum pointed at her while holding the empty shot glass he gulped down. 

“That is the reason why the Sullivans don’t trust me at all,” he said drunkenly, with a sarcastic smile stretching on his lips. 

“What do you mean, Callum? Son, you are supposed to be helping out Shane now. You know that her father has a connection to the Royale! If the Sullivans would get them, they would completely- 

“I’m quitting, Mom,” he cut her off. 

Mrs. Haynes froze a bit as her brows knitted even more. 

12:49 PM 

“What do you mean?” She asked confusingly. 

“I am giving up my position in the company. I quit, mom. I don’t want this anymore.”
