The Billionaire's Lost Lover

Chapter 21

Ch. 21 / 66 Apr 18, 2026

The next day started with a lot of issues, as early in the morning Jayden received a call from his manager from Budapest that something had happened in the company and he had to take the early morning flight but he promised me that he would be back the next day but I really doubted it.

I sat ideally at home but found it creepy because of the incident that happened the previous day.

I was trying to busy myself with work, when I received a text from Hudson.

I smiled and checked it.

"Callie, I need you to do me a favor. Can you please come home? Don't ask me what it is as I can't explain."

"Okay." I wrote it and sent the message.

I was wondering what was so urgent but didn't give it a second thought and got dressed hurriedly before scooting out of the house.

My heart was beating fast.

The driver drove the car very smoothly and I reached Hudson's apartment within fifteen minutes and was seated on the couch opposite to him and Ellen.

I had not expected that Ellen would cry but she was crying miserably. And since I had promised Hudson that I will help. I could not back out.

I took the pad and wrote and gave Hudson a questioning look, silently asking him what did he say to her.

"What's wrong Ellen? Why are you crying?"

"Callie, Ellen had told the floweriest to make artificial red roses but she had made it white." He said flatly.

I opened my mouth in astonishment.

Ellen looked up and explained. "The red roses signifies love and I wanted to decorate the aisle with red roses but it will not happen, as it turned to be white."

"Everything is finished," Hudson said, looking at me, "as you can see."

"I patted Ellen's shoulder and glared at Hudson, daring him to bully his sister anymore.

But much as I felt like leaving him to deal with his sister, I couldn't stop but help, as I could see that Hudson really needed it.

I took my pad and wrote on it.

"Come on, let's go and see what can we do about it."

And I urged her to get up.

"We can't do anything about it." Ellen exclaimed. "My wedding will be ruined."

I did not let her speak and gestured her to take me to the place where things were kept, with barely a backward glance at Hudson.

I had already checked the flowers and pulled her with me out of the apartment to go to the supermarket nearby. After reaching the supermarket, we bought some red paint and half a dozen of small paintbrushes to get Ellen's tears dried up. She looked very doubtful. "Are you sure this is going to work?"

I smiled at her with the assurance that was going to work.

So we reached the apartment again and went straight to the next apartment, where Hudson was strictly told by Ellen not to enter till the work was done.

As we were busy painting the flowers, I looked at her and wrote on the pad.

"Ellen how often do you see your father?"

The girl looked blank. "Callie we hardly see him and I think it's been months that I have spoken to him. but we will meet him at the wedding." Ellen said confidently. "Hudson is organizing it."

I glanced at her, surprised and wondering if Hudson has changed his mind or if Ellen was just making assumptions but it did not seem wise to ask.

"There now," she said. Then she stood up and surveyed the bunch of red roses lying on the ground with a satisfied smile.

Ellen beamed, then came to throw her arms around me. "Thanks to you," she said.

"You are terrific Callie you have solved my problem within minutes. Hudson is so lucky to have you."

I could quickly write on the pad.

"He doesn't have me."

But Ellen drowned her out, telling me how happy she was that I and Hudson were together.

Arguing did not do any good. Hudson would sort it out for, I decided. He would doubtless make it clear to them that they were not involved in the way she thought.

I was sharing a pizza and salad with Ellen, as I was tired of painting those flowers but it was fun. Hudson had told me to stay back after I complete my work, he had gone out for some work and I had agreed, as I did not want to go back to the mansion. Jayden was not there and I did not want to be home alone, though the bodyguards where there.

Ellen came back from the kitchen with a hot cup of coffee and said. "He's done it !"

I finished biting the last piece of pizza and wrote on my pad.

"Who's done it? And done what?"

"Hudson ! He has gone to meet daddy."

I did not know what to say as I was happy for Ellen but did not know what kind of emotional turmoil must be going on inside Hudson.

"Are you sure Hudson will convince your dad?" I wrote on the pad.

"Of course, I am sure. He told me that he was going out for a drink with him, he texted me before he left. I always knew he would." She said confidently. "I know he said, he wouldn't, but I can always count on him. I always have."

I managed a smile and wrote. "That's wonderful."

"He is doing it for you, you know ! she exclaimed.

"what are you saying Ellen?" I wrote.

After Ellen left I was sitting on the couch and reading a book, not knowing what to do and wondered what was Hudson doing with his father but after some time I dozed off.

I heard the door finally open, after quite some time and sat abruptly and spun around to smile at him when he came in.

He looked like hell.

He was quite silent, serious, supremely self-contained that as said by his employees. But this Hudson whom I am looking at right now looked quite different.

But the Hudson I knew was very gentle and caring and I was very shocked to hear from his employees that he was very ruthless.

"What happened?" I wrote on the pad and showed it to him.

He stared at me blankly. "Nothing." His voice was toneless

He shut the door, came into the living room shrugged off his jacket and sat down. He did not look in my direction.

I went beside him and showed him what I had written. "Hudson, what happened? Did you meet your father?"

There was the faintest stiffening in his demeanor. "Did I?" he whispered.

"You did not?" I gestured to him questioningly.

He gave me a quick in quick shake-off in his head. "Hell no, I did not." He got up and went into his cabinet and hastily poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one breath.

I watched his Adams Apple work, as he swallowed. I was trying to read his face. I could see that he was very disturbed . When he set down the glass, he shut his eyes. And took a long deep breath.

I went hugged him from behind and silently urged him to speak what he was feeling inside him.

He opened his eyes. They were dark and unreadable.

I came forward and faced him, looking straight at him.

He put his hands out as if to move away from me but I kept coming until I was toe-to-toe to with him, until my eyes were on a level with his chin and close enough that my lashes could crush against it.

" Callie .. "He was giving me a warning a protest. "I want to be left alone right now."

"I put my arms around him without saying anything and wrapping him tightly and felt the hard strength of him when his arms came around me. He buried his face into my hair and let out a harsh breath and held it even as he held me. I felt a shudder run through him.

I kissed his neck, his jaw, my hands moved up to the solid breadth of his back, and pressed myself even closer, needing the connection, knowing that Hudson needed me the most now.

I did not know how long we stood there just holding each other in silent communion. And then slowly I became aware of another need, the need that had been building inside me the whole evening.

I lifted my face to press my lips along his jawline, to find his mouth, to tease his left with mine.

I couldn't speak my emotions, I just wanted him to feel what I wanted to convey.

"Callie .."his finger curled against my waist handheld me tightly.

"Shhh...." It's alright, I am here." He whispered softly

He drew back to look down at me, his eyes alight with yearning.

" I love you," I spoke with my eyes and knew that he would understand.

And as if he understood me, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.

He wanted her. Desperately intensely. With every fiber office being.

He almost laughed when he saw she was practically climbing inside his shirt and whispered " we are going to do this right."

Smiling away, he reached down and scooped me up into his arms and carried me straight down the Hall into his room.

He carried me and lead me gently on the bed, then turned and push the door shut. as if somebody will invade our privacy.

Hudson came down started kissing her gently

He removed her clothes and crossed her skin with his trembling fingers, he could feel her skin was soft like silk and removed the shirt and then Cupped his hands around her breast and molded them . His fingers with drawing circles around nipples to a peak. And he bent his head and pressed kisses along the edge of a bra and Callie moaned with pleasure.

He drew up so he could release the clasp of her bra and then stripped it off holding it in his hands and kissing the tips soundly savoring the taste, enjoying the sound she made in response.

He suddenly let go of her and moved back and he removed all his clothes before joining her.

when she saw his naked body he looked at him greedily and he happily smiled and came down on her and started giving lingering kisses all over her body. She gave herself to him , opening her body, her arms and her heart as Hudson slowly came in between her legs and penetrated inside her and as she moved beneath him he lost all his control, all the ability to hold and give in and started thrusting rapidly inside her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and welcomed his trust moving her hips with rhythm and shuddered and collapsed as he shattered inside her.
