Her Vengeful Rebirth by Anastasia novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Never Intend To Give A Chance 

“I always knew my Callie is quite formidable. She even knows how to use a needle. 

With a swift move, Kallum managed to dislodge the silver needle from Calista’s grasp, which landed on the bed. Nonchalantly, he tossed it onto the floor. 

“But if you don’t behave, I really won’t be able to resist, Darling!” 

A single, endearing utterance of darling‘ from him sent shivers down Calista’s spine. Silently gritting her teeth, she finally acknowledged that she was no match for him. 

With the only pin now lost, she clung to her bath towel, finally at a loss for what to do nex 

“What exactly do you want?” 

In her heart, she reassured herself over and over again, asserting that Kallum would surely not dare to touch her. She didn’t need to… didn’t need to worry. 

Indeed, Kallum had no intention of laying a hand on her. All he wanted was to negotiate some benefits. However, Calista was rather difficult to deal with, leaving him no choice but to resort to half coercion, half persuasion. Could there be a more unfortunate fiancé than him? 

Despite his sighs, Kallum was quick to undress. 

Upon hearing the sound of Kallum undressing, Calista was nearly jolted off her feet. 

“What are you planning to do?” 

Seeing her attempt to flee, Kallum swiftly removed his clothes. With a quick grasp of her ankle, he pulled her back. She was once again toppled by him, held tightly in his embrace. 

Once he was free of the cumbersome clothing, the contact of their bodies caused Kallum to sharply draw in a breath. 

“Don’t move! Damn it… You’re driving me insane! Calista, are you doing this on purpose?” 

Feeling the intense masculine presence, Calista finally managed to calm down quickly. 

“Let’s set some ground rules, shall we?” 

Kallum was taken aback. Why on earth would they propose a set of ground rules at a time like this? 

He leaned in to kiss her face, but Calista dodged him. “I want to set some ground rules! Ground rules!” 

Seeing her a bit flustered, Kallum suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He playfully nipped at her cheek. “Tell me. What do you want?” 

Calista forced herself to remain calm, assuring herself that Kallum wouldn’t dare to touch her. He wouldn’t dare! He just wouldn’t. 

“Do…” Her voice faltered. “Dó you still have feelings for me?” 

Kallum pinched the soft flesh on her waist, his voice deep and resonant. “If I’m not dead, how could my

In other words, as long as he was alive, he wouldn’t give up on his feelings for her. 

For some unknown reason, Calista felt a sudden warmth spread across her face. Perhaps it was because his body temperature was unusually high. He was like a burning furnace. 

“Would you… perhaps loosen your grip a bit if I were to give you a chance?” 

Calista’s words prompted Kallum to slowly sit up and look at her. “Are you saying I’m pursuing you too eagerly?” 

“Just like what you’re doing now, buying the house I’m renting. You’re making me feel suffocated!” Calista said, somewhat displeased. 

“So, you’re considering giving me a chance?” A glint of amusement flickered in Kallum’s eyes. “Why do I feel like you’re playing a game with me? Giving me hope first, then slipping away when I let my guard down. What’s your plan?” 

Did you perhaps guess a bit too accurately? 

Calista showed no signs of guilt. “It’s because you don’t trust me. That’s why I insisted on setting ground rules.” 

“How should we do this?” Kallum twirled her hair around his fingers, his voice heavy with expectation. “Firstly, you can only give me a chance. Secondly, when you give me that chance, you must ultimately say yes. Thirdly, you can’t keep me waiting too long. Does that sound fair?” 

Calista glared at him. “You’ve set all three rules. What’s the point of this game anymore?” 

Kallum stared at her, his voice suddenly lowering. “Are you serious? Give me a chance.” 

He was so restless. From the moment Calista uttered those words, he knew they were merely perfunctory. Yet, deep down, he was desperate to believe that he had touched her heart and been granted a second chance. 

Calista was initially inclined to say “yes.” However, even though she couldn’t see him, she could still sense Kallum’s intense gaze fixated on her. It seemed that behind his casual smile, this answer held immense importance. 

Suddenly, she felt a twinge of pity. 

Kallum seemed to give a bitter laugh. “Indeed. I had guessed as much already.” 

He didn’t seem disheartened at all. Instead, he leaned forward, his words laced with a hint of gritted resentment. “You never intended to give me a chance from the start, did you? Once you’ve made up your mind, you’re unyielding, you heartless little thing!” 

Calista inexplicably felt a sense of guilt. 

“Sleep now,” Kallum commanded, wrapping her in an assertive yet comforting embrace. After all the commotion, he no longer had the mood to tease her. 

Although she was stark naked, Calista was worried that if she resisted or made more demands, Kallum’s lust might be rekindled. Therefore, she finally calmed down. 

Kallum held her with a bitter smile. He understood completely why Calista was so obedient, and this

understanding left him heartbroken. 

However, he knew not to push her too hard. Slow and steady wins the race, after all. He understood that being too forceful with Calista would only backfire. He had to gradually win her over, melt her defenses, and claim her. He was well aware of this principle. 

Thus, the first night after Calista moved out went by without any incident. 

The following day, Calista was staring at the computer in front of her, feeling a bit anxious. 

The antiserum for the K Virus was now in its final experimental stage. This meant that her recovery was imminent, with a timeline ranging from as short as one month to as long as three months. Even though she hadn’t fully recovered yet, Kallum was already eyeing her like a hawk. Once she was healed, there was no way Kallum would be able to hold back.

Hence, either Kallum would give up on her before she recovered, or she should not recover at a Unexpectedly, the one thin
