Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 373 In The Darkness

But who cares? Maybe... Perhaps Kallum has already given up, seeing that I remained unmoved by his efforts?

Calista felt inexplicably irritated. She shook her head and headed toward the house she had rented. Since a housekeeper had already cleaned it, she could move in immediately.

Looking at the quaint country-style mansion before her, she realized that this would be her temporary home in the future.

The mansion consisted of just one bedroom, a study, and a practice room-three rooms in total. It used to be home to a young couple. Although it was said to be two stories, it was actually just one. In order to maintain their privacy and undisturbed world of two, they didn't even set up a guest room. This time, they decided to rent out their house because they were planning to go on a long-term trip.

For Calista, this place was quite suitable. If the house was too large, she didn't feel secure living in it.

Since only the downstairs bathroom had a bathtub, Calista had taken a bath there before heading upstairs. By the time she entered her room, she was already quite exhausted. Therefore, she didn't bother turning on the lights and simply collapsed onto the bed. But the moment she fell down, she jolted back up as if she'd been electrocuted.

There was someone on the bed!

Though she was quick, someone was even quicker. A shadowy figure swiftly scooped up Calista into his arms. With a swift roll onto the romantic circular bed, he had her pinned underneath him.

Upon catching a whiff of the familiar scent, Calista gave the other party a swift thump in a fit of frustration.

"Kallum! What are you doing here?"

Her heart was pounding wildly.

In the darkness, Kallum chuckled softly. "Why can't I be here? From now on, we're roommates!"

"Are you kidding me?" Calista's temper flared up a bit. "I signed a contract with the landlord!"

Kallum spoke with a hint of smugness. "But what can you do? I've already bought this house. I bet even if you try calling them tomorrow, they won't pick up. So, you might as well save your energy!" Calista was speechless. "You... bought it?"

his tone was surprisingly firm. "Wherever you decide to live in the future, I'll buy a house there. If you buy a place, I'll purchase the one across from you. You won't be able to escape from me for the rest of your life, Callie." Calista was at a loss for how to face
