Calliope Series 1: Our Unexpected Love

🌻 C h a p t e r 28 🌻

The moment Yohan forcedly entered the room the scene he saw was the bespectacled, middle-aged man’s hands were still pressed on Ji Nuan’s body, tugging against her zipper.

Such a dirty scene made his blood turn cold. Seeing another man touching her wife made Yohan's blood boiled. He want to chooped that hands right now! He wants to fucking kill that man!

Yohan quickly looked at his wife. His wife...

Upon meeting Yohan’s gaze, she felt as though she had been plunged into an ice pool. A violent storm had begun stirring in Yohan’s clear eyes. Sinong matutuwa na makita mo ang asawa mo na halos hindi na makahinga, namamaga ang muka, may mga pasa sa katawan at sa mukha at higit sa lahat may dugo sa ulo. Seeing his wife at that state, Yohan's heart feels like stub a million times.


Was she experiencing a hallucination from the fright? Why I'm seeing my hubby?

She could not speak and could only stare in his direction with vacant eyes; as though he was the only source of warm light in the bleak darkness; as though she was finally rescued from the frightening fog of both lives and could finally breathe.

'I'm save! W-we're s-safe!'

Lalong nagalit si Yohan ng makita niyang umiiyak ang kanyang asawa.

She could barely see how he had approached and only noticed that the man on top of her had suddenly yelled in pain. "I've said that get away from my wife!"

The sound of bones cracking, as though his elbow had been broken, rang through the room. She tried her best to focus her vision and saw that Yohan was only an arm’s distance away from her. His cold eyes did not even blink as he twisted the bespectacled man’s arm, tossing him onto the ground.

The weight on her body was removed. A second later, she felt a coat with a familiar, clean scent cover her. It's was really not a hallucination, his finally here. Seeing that she's finally safe her heart finally calm down a little bit.

Kathlene tiredly closed her eyes, forcing the tears away. She could hear the man shouting in pain right by her ear. She did not know what Yohan was doing, nor did she wish to look. At this moment, it did not matter to her even if someone were to lose their life. She doesn't care anymore. All she wants is get away from this hell! She wants to go home!

Upon falling onto the ground, the man received another kick, pushing him two meters away. He was thrown against the wall; his head slammed heavily against that pebbled wall. He pointed at Yohan, who had suddenly shown up, with a trembling finger as though wanting to speak. However, his voice was covered by the sound of the door opening.

Kian quickly entered, and upon seeing the scene, he immediately understood. He was about to rush in when she heard Yohan’s cold voice. “Close the door!”

Nang dumating sila sa lugar na ito, agad nilang pinuntahan ang signal mula sa relo ni Kiel. Pero hindi nila nakita si Kiel, pero ang relo ay nasa pagmamay-ari na ng iba.

When they've enter that room they saw a bald man whose on the middle fucking two girls. That man was the boss of this bar. And that man died in the hands of that two.

Kian glanced at Kathlene who was on the bed and quickly slammed the doors shut, protecting her from the gaze of the policemen outside.

Kathlene was heavily disoriented and was suddenly supported to sit up. She opened her eyes to see Yohan’s face. However, the moment she shifted her lips, the pain from her blood crusted lips and her sore cheek caused her to furrow her brows. She then heard Yohan’s voice by her ear, “If it hurts, don’t speak. I’m here. Sorry I'm late, you've suffer.. Sorry Kathlene..”

Although his voice was ice-cold and low, he was gently coaxing her. As he comforted her, he tightened the coat around the top half of her body and gently pushed aside the hair covered in blood on her forehead. Seeing the wound there, he then gently tilted her face to check the hand mark on her cheek. The murderous intent in his eyes was as clear as day.

All of the sudden Yohan hugged her tight. "I'm...sorry..." Yohan wispered between his tears.

Yohan was crying.

"I-it's..not your..fault.." Kathlene tried to soothe her husband, whose crying in her shoulder. "Stop crying and say sorry. You found us before it's to late."

'Before it's to late..." After hearing that Yohan's eyes reddened. Hindi niya alam ang kanyang gagawin kung hindi agad siya dumating.


Even though Kathlene understood that she was no longer in danger, she could not stop her body from trembling. Her heart was still frantic from the struggle and fear from earlier. She wanted to calm down, but the experience from both her lifetimes was replaying in her mind, destroying her rationality. Her body and hands were shuddering, and her eyes were slowly opening and closing. Beneath her eyes, her skin was covered in blood, while her eyelashes trembled, holding in the tears that were about to fall.

Yohan hugged her shivering body tightly. He held her hair with one hand while speaking coaxingly into her ears, “Don’t be scared. I’m right here, right in front of you. Its all over. Be good, close your eyes. Don’t listen to anything and don’t look at anything!"

Kathlene did not move. Yohan raised his hand, gently covering her eyes. “Don’t be scared, en?”

Kian saw that Kathlene was disheveled and her forehead was bleeding. Abruptly, he delivered a heavy kick between the bespectacled man’s legs. His pitiful crying noise led Kathlene to tremble once more in Yohans’s arms, as though every time she heard his voice, she would experience the same fright.

“Cripple him and block his mouth. He’s too noisy.” Yohan saw that Kathlene was too frightened right now and sternly commanded.

Kian quickly picked up a piece of clothing from the ground, balling it up and shoving it in the man’s face. He then stepped on his leg heavily, causing him to groan from the pain. A heavy kick then smashed against his head.

Only one pained groaning sound could be heard in the room. The bespectacled man’s head was covered in blood and sweat. Finally, he collapsed against the corner of the wall, staring at the gray-haired man before him in fright. He trembled and tried to shift away but was still heavily kicked in his stomach. This heavy blow caused the man’s eyes to almost fall out of their sockets. Following which, there was the sound of an arm being broken.

Even though his lips were blocked, the pitiful groaning sound still revealed how torturous and painful the revenge he was enduring was.

Kathlene leaned in Yohan’s embrace with her eyes shut. Although her eyes were blocked by his hand, the red and swollen patch of skin on her face was still a ghastly sight.

"Wait...Glecy! Saved her please!" when Kathlene remember her friend she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Don't worry your friend is safe."

Nang marinig ni Kathlene ang sinabi ni Yohan ay agad na napanatag ang kanyang puso.

With a smile she suddenly closed her eyes and darkness enter her consciousness.

Yohan panicked when he saw her wife unconscious. "Kathlene!"

He quickly carry her and walks through the door. "Kill that trash." Yohan ordered Kian before he left the room.  “I’ll make sure they pay the price for their actions. I won’t leave them with a single breath they’re not supposed to have."

When they realized that the women they had brought in today was actually the great Cortez Corporation’s CEO’s wife and Gabelo's woman, they already understood that the years of experience they had in the underworld were useless. Today, they were really done for… with a bang one of the bar lackeys died.

Kathlene was brought out of the bar. It was already late at night, and more than ten cars were surrounding the bar. Even though she was unconscious, she was not at ease. When she heard the sirens of the police cars, she silently furrowed her brows in his embrace.

Half an hour later, at the hospital.


A group of helpless doctors exchanged glances before turning to the woman curled up tightly on the bed; her head was still stained with blood as she trembled heavily.

Yohan who had brought her in was currently outside speaking with the director of the hospital.

They had been instructed to clean her wounds and check if she had any other injuries or difficulties. However, she had refused anyone from touching her.

No matter if it was a doctor or a nurse or a man or a woman, no one could approach her. And because she was Mrs. Cortez they don't act recklessly. She's not someone they could offend.

Even when a harmless and caring nurse brought her a cup of water hoping to calm her down, the cup was slapped away onto the ground.

They could see her emotions were extremely unstable; she must have suffered from a terrible fright. Her eyes were unfocused, but her trembling body made it clear to them that she was not in a good state.

"Mrs. Cortez." The doctor looked at her file and checked for her name. He tried his best to comfort her. "You’re safe right now. This is the hospital. We need to check your wounds. The blood on your forehead is already scabbing. If we don’t clean it soon, it might become infected. Please cooperate with us…”

Kathlene appeared not to have heard them. Just as the doctor approached, she abruptly bent her legs and hugged her knees close to herself. She then buried her head down and refused to move.

The doctor was about to take the opportunity to tug her over when Kathlene suddenly raised her head. Her reddened eyes watched them warily, as though if they dared to touch her, she would bite off their wrists.

Like a little creature that was injured, carefully licking her own wounds and refusing anyone’s approach.

The doctors were helpless. Don’t mention a check-up, right now, no one was able to even touch her.

Although her outerwear was slightly torn apart, the clothes she wore underneath were intact. Her pants and her intimate areas were also untouched. She did not experience any irreversible harm. However, from Mrs. Cortez’s condition, it was clear that her fright was not that simple.

In her heart, an enormous black hole had been forcefully ripped open. Inside of it, there were countless wounds she was terrified of revealing but was unable to continue concealing.

When Yohan finished speaking to the director of the hospital and returned to the room—the moment he pushed open the door—he saw a pale, frightened

Kathlene curled up on the bed being surrounded by several doctors and nurses.

When he entered, the doctors and nurses all turned their heads, drawn toward his strong aura.

Yohan was still dressed in the same clothes. Although his shirt was slightly stained by the blood from Kathlene’s forehead, he did not appear disheveled at all.

They looked at the cold, handsome, and tall man and noticed his grim and cold expression. All of the doctors and nurses were frightened by his icy gaze. After all, Mrs. Cortez had already been sent in for more than ten minutes, yet none of them had managed to help her clean her wounds.

“S-Sir… Madam refuses to let us touch her…” one of the doctors said."Her emotions are extremely unstable. Were worried that if we try to touch her, she will feel more panic and shock… what should we…”

Kathlene glanced at the people surrounding Kathlene. His thin lips pursed coldly, and his long legs stretched forward, taking big steps forward.

When he approached, Kathlene remained curled up. She did not even raise her head.

He had never seen Kathlene appear this way.

The Kathlene he knew was cheerful, radiant, and beautiful. Although her character changed slightly several months ago, she remained the same person he knew; she had become more rational and ambitious but remained confident, radiant, and beautiful.

He had never seen her face as pale as a sheet of paper, and her gaze so frightened as though all of her defenses were up against the world.

She was curled up; her body was trembling uncontrollably. She did not dare to meet anyone’s gaze while she placed her hand right next to her lips as she bit on her fingers. It was as though she had suffered a fright her heart could not handle, and it was disturbing her rationality.

"I..want to go home.." suddenly Kathlene spoke.

Yohan bent down, carrying her up from the corner of the wall she was shrunk against. He held her back, warmly and softly saying, "You’re covered in wounds. You need to see the doctor. Be obedient. After taking care of your wounds, well go straight home.”

When she heard Yohan’s voice, Kathlene slowly raised her head. Her frightened expression could not be hidden. Seeing that it was Yohan, she did not refuse his touch, but her eyes remained fully guarded.

The doctor saw that she was finally cooperative and wanted to take the opportunity while she was being held by this man to clean her wound with a cotton ball soaked with alcohol.

However, before he could even touch her, he heard the woman’s low, cold voice: “Don’t touch me!”

The doctor: “…”

As expected, aside from this man, she really refused anyone from touching her.

This must be because she had suffered a severe fright and because she trusted and depended on this man heavily, making him the only special one.

When he saw that Kathlene was really fearful of other peoples touch, he gently patted her head, asking softly, “Anywhere on your body hurting?”

Kathlene shook her head.

“Does your head hurt?” he asked softly.

She kept shaking her head, but when his hand touched her wound, she knitted her brows from the pain.

Yohan did not say more and pressed his hands at the back of her neck. "I'm sorry wife.." Again Kathlene lost her consciousness again.

Yohan put Kathlene on the hospital bed gently. "Tend her wounds."

Then he watched them cleaning Kathlene's body and wounds. His heart aches to see his wife at that state. Naikuyom ni Yohan ang kanyang kamao.

A few minutes later the doctor brought the result to Yohan.

"Mr. Cortez right now we're done checking madam vital signs. As of now she's safe..but the trauma she suffered.. it's can affect her pregnancy and the baby."

"What did you say!?" Hindi makapaniwala si Yohan sa kanyang narinig. "Whose baby?" he added.

"Ohhh Mrs. Cortez is three weeks pregnant."
