Chapter: New York, here I come. Charlotte Meyers.It's been four years now, four good years since I decided to leave it all behind and start over again and it has turned out to be the best decision ever, turns out I was born to be a model walking the runway came naturally to me with less than a year of training and what have you, I was good to go."Good work Charlotte!!" The photographer praised me as we wrapped up the shoot. I was shooting a brand ad for Nike. "You were great too…" I told him and excused myself to go rest in my van.Amos followed me to the van, "here.." he said, handing me a bottle of water."Thanks."Amos was made my assistant by the agency, according to Ben the manager, he says I was his golden ticket and Amos being the one who recruited me deserved a promotion, so now he's my assistant and wherever I go, he goes."We need to go to the agency right now!" Amos told me. I raised my head to look at him with a frown on my face… "ahh but why?" "Mr Ben called for a meeting…. we're ru

Chapter: Modelling Agency ONTARIOA friend of mine was driving past Charlotte's house and called to ask me where they were moving to."Moving?" I had asked the guy, although I heard clearly the first time. He repeated himself, they were truly moving. Fuck!I ran out of the office to my car and drove off to the house immediately but I was too late, their car had just left but I met Jake standing bewildered in the compound."Why are you even here?" I grunted at him. He doesn't try to fight me, he just shrugs and says…." I tried to stop her".I didn't wait anymore and tried chasing after their car with mine, but it was no use; they were too far gone to chase. This is all my fault. I didn't even get to say goodbye.She must have forgotten about who I am the moment she packed her things out of the house.I kept driving around town, I don't know why, maybe I hoped to run into them. I didn't stop my tears from falling down my face. If this was my punishment for ruining her life, I don't think I can endure

Chapter: Moving CHARLOTTE"Eishh!"I woke up with a banging headache, what happened last night? I must have drank a lot. Mom made me a hot cup of local tea, " it'll help with the headache" she said. I smile at her thoughtfulness. "Khloe didn't go to school today" Mom says. I look around the room and see that they've already helped me pack my stuff into brown boxes. We're really moving to Vegas, today.How long had I passed out for, it's mid afternoon already. "The moving van will soon be here. They're sending a smaller car too, we'll travel in the smaller one." I nod continuously at her words, my head feels heavy as I nod. Ah this is bad, why do I have to have a hangover on a day like this eh.Mom leaves the room after telling me to call the landlord of the house we were moving into and to let them know that we were moving in today.Ah I'm going to miss this house. All of my memories are here. I grew up here, Khloe was born here. I met Ontario in this house too. He had

Chapter: Will you ever forgive me? CHARLOTTEWho could have thought I'll be grateful to Hunter for bringing me out of my house to this party. I haven't had this much fun in a while and I have no one to blame but my workaholic ass who cared about nothing but getting a raise, now look where that has gotten me. Sigh!There was enough booze to go round and sue me for drinking to my satisfaction. By my satisfaction I mean till I was drunk, like super duper drunk and guess who just happened to come around eh?No I won't tell you? he-heOkay fine I'll tell you, no, I won't, I'll just give you a clue.Do you remember that guy who referred to me as ugly doctor? The one who chose his business over me? Yeah, the same one whom my best friend helped me realize that I was falling head over heels for? YES! You guessed right. Ontario came to the party. I wonder who invited him. I expected Jake to be here since he probably owned the hospital now or something, who could have thought Ontario would show up."No! I don't wa

Chapter: When i fall, I'll rise like I never fell.👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS 👩⚕️ Today is a new day to go in search of work, after all I don’t have to be at hunter’s party until later in the evening. Maybe if I find a job then there’ll be no need for me to move, I broaden my search areas and send emails to nearby cities but I got the same reply, I wasn’t fit to work for them. This is crazier than I thought. I went back home around afternoon and spent the time lazing around until it was time for the ‘send forth’ I was even having second thoughts about going until I got Hunters text “Yo! Meyers we’re so pumped to see you tonight. Don’t be late” His text was followed by another one, bearing the address of the karaoke bar. Oh dear lord, I don’t want to cross paths with Jake Reid at that party. I waste time goofing through the internet and laughing away my sorrows to funny video clips until it was 7:30pm and of course I was running late my own party. I search through my wardrobe hurriedly for something to wear and ended up wearing a p

Chapter: Vegas it is 👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS 👩⚕️Ontario came to try and redeem himself, I’m not mad at him for choosing his business over my job, it’s just that seeing his face reminds me of my misery and I really don’t want to deal with that right now. It’ll be better if he’ll just leave me be.“Charlotte? What was that?” My mom asked, she has a puzzled expression on her face, I haven’t told her about my job yet. It must have confused her to see me and Ontario fight over it.“What did Ontario do wrong?”She was wiping my tears with a napkin and leading me to sit on the sofa beside, Khloe, who had the same expression on her face as my mom.“Ma, I lost my job” I said before breaking into another round of tears. Mom pulled me in her embrace with Khloe too, they kept saying soothing words to me. They know more than anyone else how much my job meant to me.“It’s alright my dear…” Mom consoles but I look up at her, wiping my tears that won’t stop falling.“It’s not fine mom, no one around here wan

Doesn't it hurt from all that grinning" She teased"I'm just so happy, I can't bring myself to stop grinning. I can even imagine anything I could do that could top what you did today baby""I know right…leave it to me to plan amazing memories for us."

Chapter: Xavi, You're home "Come home soon, i miss you 💓" Celine's text read. Xavier smiled when the screen of his phone lit up with that text. He was on him way home, later than usual. He knew she was going to be asleep by the time he got home. His wife was an early bird. She always went to bed early and woke up early. Her body clock never skips or misses it's scheduled and even at times when he came home late and she tried waiting uo for him to come back he usually met her asleep in the living room with the lights on and the TV playing in the background. This was one of the reasons he adjusted his schedule to make sure he mostly went home before her bedtime. He would always try his possible best to make sure he kissed her goodnight before she went to bed. But tonight wasn't one of those nights thanks to Zack's mischievous acts.Thinking back to Zack, Xavier's anger returned. He would have done worse than cut off his fingers before handing him off to the government, but he didn't because he knew Celine wouldn

Chapter: Come home soon, I miss you 💓"You should have told me about the letters," Xavier said, his voice low and angry. "I could have done something to protect you and the baby. Why didn't you tell me?" Celine stood silently, her head bowed, unable to meet her husband's eyes. She knew he was right - she should have told him. But she had been afraid of what he might do if he knew the truth."I'm sorry," Celine said, her voice trembling, Xavier had never been angry at her for this long, so why now? "I know I should have told you. I was just...afraid. Afraid of what you might do, and afraid of what might happen to you if you got involved." She took a deep breath, and looked up at her husband, her eyes pleading. "I'm so sorry, I just...I was scared." Xavier's expression softened, and he reached out to take his wife's hand. "I understand," he said. "I can't promise I won't be angry, but I promise I won't do anything rash." The tension between them has eased a bit, but there's still a lot to talk about. Celine speaks first,

Chapter: It wasn't your fault Zack kept hitting the car window signaling to Celine to open it. "You have nowhere else to run to" he screamed from outside.Celine could feel her anger boiling at this point, why was he after her life so bad... what was it that she owed him that he tortured her so much with his existence. Picking her phone from her car's dashboard, she hurriedly dialed Xavier's number. Zack sensed that she was calling for help so he brought out a hammer from his pocket and started hitting the car window with it. "Come out of the car, Celine" he said while hitting the window, there was a crack on the window and he kept hitting.Xavier picked up the call as soon as it went through "Celine?".. he called from the other end of the line, he could hear her breathing heavily from her end of the line, he stood abruptly from the end of the desk where he sat, the meeting needed to stop, his wife needed him. "What is it?" He was beginning to hear the sound of glass smashing. "Where are you?"Celine was aware th

Chapter: You must think you have an option..."I'm pregnant?..." Celine asked, eyes wide opened in shock…she couldn't believe she was going to be a mom very soon."Yes baby…we are having a baby…" Xavier responded, holding her tighter."This is the best news ever!!"Celine's joy knew no bounds, she was finally living the life she had always dreamed of, she could imagine seeing her kid smiling into her eyes….she squealed at the thought."I'm so happy for us Celine…"Xavier started to say "But we might have a little problem" He said, bursting the bubble.Celine signed as her shoulders sunk down, she knew what the problem was, it was Zack. She was beginning to wonder just how foolish and naive she must have been to have been in love with him once upon a time. How come she didn't see all his red flags. He was so sweet when they were together until things went sour and he became an alcoholic."You must have seen the news too.." she told her husband. "He wouldn't dare come near me." Celine said, half mindedly, she knew that what she said
