Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Xaviera frowned, not answering immediately.

Without lifting his head, Caleb said softly, “It’s getting late. Go back to your room and rest.”

Xaviera hesitated for a moment, her eyes full of worry, “Aren’t you going to rest?”

“I still have a little work left to do, for tomorrow’s meeting. There’s an important meeting for the Mamet Corporation. If you have time, come with me.”

Xaviera was puzzled. Caleb had never let her get involved in his work before. Why was he suddenly inviting her to attend a meeting at the company?

Although she was confused, Xaviera nodded without hesitation.

As Xaviera left the study and reached the door, she paused and looked back at Caleb. He seemed normal, focused on the documents with a calm expression. Maybe he had just been feeling unwell earlier.

…

After Xaviera left, Caleb suddenly raised his head, and a cold, grey look filled his eyes. He had been trying hard to control his emotions in front of Xaviera, but that inner impulse made him feel slightly drained.

During his days at Maple House, he had been poisoned with a drug that could drive people mad in addition to the poison itself. This caused him to lose control and reason from time to time, turning him into a bloodthirsty devil. It was laughable that even with his astonishing willpower, he couldn’t control it.

Once upon a time, he was a little boy who could laugh. However, under the torture of darkness and abuse, he gradually lost his emotions and warmth, turning him into what he is today.

Caleb had known long ago that a demon had taken up residence in his body, which would come out and take over when he let his guard down. It had his body and soul, but not his emotions. It only had a lust for killing.

The old Caleb thought it wasn’t a bad thing. At least no one dared to bully him like this, and his aggressive coldness wasn’t a flaw. Instead, it was his protection.

He didn’t care about feelings because he was an emotionally indifferent person. But all of that changed after Xaviera appeared.

The last time he had an attack was many years ago, and it had been so long that he had forgotten about the demon inside him. He was afraid that the demon would hurt Xaviera.

He had thought that the demon would disappear over time, and that the darkness he hid in his heart would forever remain a secret. He believed he had hidden it well and that the demon born in Maple House would not be able to take over his body again. Sadly, he had failed.

Caleb clenched his fists. He would rather die than hurt Xaviera, the woman he loved most and his life.

The man slowly got up and walked to the bedroom door, gently pushing it open. Seeing her sleeping soundly, he showed a gentle smile.

He quietly walked to the bedside, bent down, and left a gentle kiss on her forehead. The light kiss was full of strong emotions, and his soft lips whispered, “I love you.”

…

Late at night, Caleb suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep. The bleak, sharp, and cold gaze was like a pack of wolves in the dark night. He glanced at the woman beside him and narrowed his eyes.

He slept in the same bed with a woman?

The memories in Caleb’s mind still existed, but his emotions had vanished. He even laughed at the fact that he had married a wife.

At this moment, Caleb thought he must have been out of his mind to get married and treat this woman so obediently that he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

His eyes were devoid of emotion, filled with disgust, and he couldn’t even accept sleeping in the same bed with her. So, he lifted the covers and slowly got up.

Unexpectedly, Caleb’s movements were too sudden, waking Xaviera up, and his annoyance increased, making him think that women were bothersome.

Unexpectedly, Xaviera squinted her eyes and roared, “I finally fell asleep. What are you moving around for? I won’t sleep with you anymore! Annoying!”

Caleb: “…”

He suddenly remembered the last time he controlled this body, and the terrified faces of Will Mamet and Jenny Green.

—”Ah! Your… your eyes have turned green! You are not Caleb Mamet! There is no one in the Mamet family with green eyes! Get out of the Mamet family!”

—”You are a demon! Just like your dead mother! You will kill us sooner or later!”
