Chapter: Chapter 15: Into the FlamesThe sound of her heartbeat echoed in Charlotte’s ears as her senses slowly returned. Her body was heavy, pressed against cold concrete, debris surrounding her. Her vision blurred as she tried to blink the dust from her eyes. For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she was dead or alive. The explosion. It felt distant, like a bad dream.Then reality crashed back in."Charles!"She gasped, pushing herself up onto shaky arms. Her head throbbed, and every muscle screamed in protest, but she ignored the pain, frantically searching for him through the haze of smoke and rubble. The once-standing warehouse was now a twisted, burning wreck. Shards of glass littered the ground, and the sharp scent of smoke clawed at her throat.Through the chaos, she spotted Charles lying a few feet away, half-buried under debris.“Charles!” she screamed, scrambling toward him, her hands shaking as she cleared the rubble away from his body. His eyes were closed, and for a terrifying moment, she thought he wasn’t breat

Chapter: Chapter 14: The Rescue GambleThe night had swallowed the city whole. Dim street lights flickered, casting eerie shadows on the sidewalks as Charlotte sat silently in the cab, her heart pounding in rhythm with the tires against the road. The plan was risky, but it was the only chance she had to save Charles. She knew she couldn’t walk into this blind. Every step had to be calculated. She had to think before acting. Think. Stay calm.As the cab pulled up to Mr. Lucas’s house, she took a deep breath, rehearsing her next move in her mind. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for her phone. Emma was her first thought—loyal, reliable—but she couldn’t drag her into this. This isn't her fight, she told herself, staring at her phone before slipping it back into her bag. No, this was her battle now. And Charles’ life was on the line.She quickly dialed Mr. Lucas instead. His steady voice answered almost immediately. "Hello?"“Mr. Lucas,” Charlotte began, disguising her voice, “this is Mason. I need to see you. It’s

Chapter: Chapter 13: Dangerous DealsThe air was thick with uncertainty as Charlotte stood at the entrance of Eleven Madison Park, her mind racing. Charles had walked off with the mysterious stranger, leaving her torn between following him and meeting Mason at the office. Every instinct told her that whatever the stranger wanted could lead to trouble, but Mason’s message also hinted at something urgent.What should I do? she thought, chewing her lower lip.Before she could make up her mind, her phone buzzed again. Another message from Mason: “Charlotte, it’s important. I found something about Maxwell. We need to act fast.”Her eyes darted toward the shadows where Charles had disappeared, a sense of foreboding tightening around her chest. I’ll check on Charles later, she decided. For now, she had to trust that Charles could handle himself. Mason had never been wrong about a threat before, and she wasn’t about to ignore him now.She turned on her heel, rushing toward the office.---At the OfficeMason was pacing in the ha

Chapter: Chapter 12 Unwelcome Surprises Charlotte sat on the couch, her mind spinning. She couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at her. Who was upstairs? Charles had dismissed it casually, but her instincts screamed otherwise.“Okay, let’s get down to business,” Charles said, leaning forward, fingers steepled together as if he had nothing in the world to hide.Just then, there was a loud clatter from the staircase. Both their heads snapped toward the noise. A tall, blonde woman appeared, walking down completely naked, but with a G-string and a bra, her heels clicking loudly against the marble floor. “Baby,” the woman purred, flashing a flirty smile as she reached the bottom step, “you left me upstairs... again.” She paused mid-step when her gaze landed on Charlotte, sitting in the middle of the room, wide-eyed.The woman’s eyes widened as recognition dawned. “Oh my God!” she screamed, dramatically placing a hand on her chest. “Who is this? Are we going to have visitors now?”Charlotte’s face was impassive, but inside,

Chapter: Chapter 11: Caught in the TensionCharlotte barely made it through the door before collapsing on her bed. The weight of the day hit her like a truck, and within seconds, she was out cold. She woke up only a few hours later, blinking slowly, still half asleep at the sunlight filtering through her window.She rubbed her eyes as she stumbled into the kitchen, where Emma was already making coffee. "Why did you come home so late yesterday?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow as she poured a cup.Charlotte sighed deeply. "I’m in trouble, Emma. I’m so tired of this job, I don’t know how much longer I can deal with it."Emma slid the coffee across the counter. "What happened?"And Charlotte spilled. She told Emma everything—from Lucas to the chaos at the club, to the exhausting demands of Charles. "I swear, I’ve never met anyone as difficult as him," she finished, slumping into a chair.Emma snorted. "You’re getting paid, and you’re getting bonuses. I don’t see what the problem is. You’ve dealt with worse."Charlotte’s eyes widen

Chapter: Chapter 10: Midnight Confrontations---Charlotte stepped out of the noisy club, the cool night air a welcome relief from the chaos inside. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she paced back and forth, trying to calm the rage burning inside her. She clenched her fists tightly, nails digging into her palms. She had never felt this embarrassed in her life. And the cause of it all? Charles Goldberg, she thought bitterly. That arrogant, entitled jerk!The club's heavy doors swung open, briefly letting out the sound of laughter and music before slamming shut again. Charlotte barely registered the people going in and out as her mind raced. Her chest tightened every time she thought about the scene that had just unfolded. Charles, in his usual fashion, had flaunted his wealth and charm, drawing the attention of every woman in the room. But this time, he had gone too far. He had made a spectacle out of her, his own PA.Who does he think he is? she fumed, kicking a small stone across the sidewalk. He had no right to embarr
