THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:-CHARLOTTE'S POV:-The sound of my alarm woke me up. That's when I realized, I had again fallen asleep on my desk instead of in my bed. With a sore back and aching neck, I stood up. I did stretching just to fix that sore back. I wrapped my hair into a messy bun. I stepped out of my room and made my way toward the room of my boy.University was not easy for me. Especially when the principal literally altered my results. I even lost half of my scholarship. But all thanks to the Stewarts, I was able to study and make a brand new sheet for myself. I was able to prove everyone wrong. Even the company that offered me a scholarship.The first year was the most difficult when everyone was asking me to get rid of my baby. When I was bullied by almost every single teacher in university. But I had help. Nana was with me. And Andrew never really left me alone. His family offered me a part time job that got enough money to go through the delivery and raise my child with digni
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-A week later, I was waiting for confirmation from the court. Meanwhile, I decided to keep myself occupied. I was preparing for the smaller cases that I got through the month. Just then, a light knock on my office door pulled me out of the loads of work I was supposed to handle on my free day. Come in!" I shouted from inside my office.The door opened and a man in his mid twenties entered my office. "Hello! Please, have a seat. How may I help you?" I asked him as he walked into my office. He sat down on one of the chairs and placed his briefcase on my desk. I was curiously watching him as he opened his briefcase and pulled something out."My name is Rio Cyrus. I am Mr Adam Richards' assistant manager. While we were waiting for the confirmation from the court, we received this letter from the court this very morning. Mr Richards asked me to deliver this envelope to you." Mr Cyrus replied as he placed the envelope in front of me. I sighed as I grabbed the envelope, tore
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-I was packing my bags when Charlie came to my bedroom. He laid on my bed and was looking at me with that puppy look on his face. He showed me that face whenever he wanted something from me. That day, I already knew what he might be wanting to ask me. "Don't give me that look, Charlie. I already know what you want and my answer is no!" I didn't even ask him what he actually wanted."Oh, come on, Mama! You can't do this to me. You know how much I have always wanted to visit the big city, Toronto." He tried to argue with me. But then again, he knew well that he couldn't win any arguments with me. It was the same with his father. Looking back, memories that I held so dearly a few years back, were now as bitter as the poison. It was unusual how I loved my son who was the spitting image of his father. Yet, I hated the man who gave me that greatest gift of my life. "Don't be childish, Charlie. I am going there to work and you can't come with me." I repeated myself again wi
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-After a beautiful morning with her son, Charlotte brought him to the court. Her son sat with Mr Richards to help him stay calm. Like his mother, Charlie was a kind hearted boy with a charming personality just like his father's. In short, Charlie was actually the mixture of both of his parents. While everyone was waiting for the judge, Charlotte was busy looking through the stack of papers in front of her.All of a sudden, an uneasy feeling started to rise in her chest. She found herself choking. She grabbed the glass of water that sat on her table and took a few sips. As the cold liquid slid through her dry throat, she felt the comfort and the choking stopped all of the sudden. Placing one of her hands on her chest, Charlotte sat down on her chair, trying to breathe. Charlie saw the discomfort his mother was going through. "Give me a minute, Mr Richards." In a polite tone he whispered to Mr Richards as he raised from his chair. Mr Richards let go of Charlie's han
BENJAMIN'S POV:-Two weeks had passed since I saw her again in front of me. But that was the last thing I had in my mind. The moment I saw the boy, something inside me clicked. It looked like I was looking into a mirror that showed me my past self. There was no DNA test needed when the boy was practically the spitting image of me with curly red hair like his mother. Just to be safe, I got his hair and got it tested with mine. That too I got after two days of constant trying. Charlotte didn't leave him at all. I couldn't blame her. After what happened to her, that boy was practically her entire world. And she was willing to play dirty to make sure no one would try snatching him away from her.She was as stunning as I remembered her. She had gotten a lot hotter. Her breasts were bigger. Her ass was rounder and as she walked in a pencil skirt, the way her ass moved, it made my heart skip beats. As before, she would bite her lips whenever she was nervous. The way she would push her curls
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-"I am telling you. There is nothing I can do anymore. The defence got all of our evidence thrown out so cleverly. And we couldn't do anything because the evidence Mr Richards provided us was inadmissible because he obtained them illegally." I lost my temper as Andrew questioned my abilities again and again. I was in my hotel room. The papers of the case file were scattered on my bed. I was trying to look for a way to win that case.In a week, I was losing the case I thought was an easy win. "How can they do that? It's the Richards family thing. I mean, everything belonged to the whole family." Andrew asked in a frustrated tone and I sighed."That's because the younger brother isn't a Richards. He adapted the name but now he is willing to use the identity of his biological father just to get our evidence thrown out. That fucking lawyer is annoying." I replied in a low tone, slamming the papers on my mattress. Andrew was expected to be back to Canada in a week. But the
BENJAMIN'S POV:-The morning of the court proceedings, my parents visited my villa out of the blue. After whatever happened between Charlotte and my mother, and how my mother decided to interfere in my business, I made my own decision to separate. I knew I should have done it the moment my mother started a war against Charlotte. But I was just too foolish to see that. They saw my son for the first time and the child she used to call a bastard for thirteen years, became her beloved grandson.Charlie came home with me and has been living with me ever since. I was looking at my reflection in the mirror. Leaving Charlie with my parents, I went to get ready. He was not a baby but he was not old enough to be by himself either. I walked out of my room, excited to see Charlotte again. As I reached the living room, my legs froze the moment I heard my mother talking about Charlotte to my son."She was bitter. No matter how much your father tried to make her fall for him, she just didn't budge.
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. My vision was blurry. I wiped my eyes twice but no use. I had to rub my eyes aggressively to get a clear view of where I was. I frowned in confusion as I found myself lying on an unfamiliar bed. I sat up on the bed, trying to remember what was happening. I remembered being at the court to fight for Charlie's custody. Little by little, I remembered everything. I looked around again, trying to figure out what just happened. I could only remember being on the train. Everything else was a blur. "You have finally woken up, Tinkerbell." My heart nearly stopped the moment I heard that deep voice echoing in the room along with that name that I hated the most.The moment I heard his voice, I remembered the missing pieces. "You! You got me abducted, you bastard." I yelled at him angrily. My heart dropped in the pit of my stomach as he sat down on the bed beside me. I grabbed the comforter and held on to it tightly. "What the fuck do yo
BENJAMIN Once we left Montreal, I made a mental note to finally pay a visit to her brother. It had been a while since anyone had gone to check up on him. Charlotte might not be interested in business anymore. But her mother's businesses were her birthright. And after how her brother kicked her out after we divorced, he didn't deserve anything that belonged to Charlotte.As soon as we got back, Charlotte got busy with her first case as an ADA. I had added it to my diary to visit the court on Friday. I just wanted to be there with her because she had been very nervous about the whole thing. I knew my wife was a champ and she would do great in her work.Charlie also got busy with his assignments. It was the perfect time for me to visit the bastard. I had Joe follow the bastard while I waited for him in his office. I watched him walk inside. He was half drunk, half hungover. I couldn't help but shake my head at his lazy ass. Charlotte's mother built that company from scratch, without any
CHARLOTTE Benjamin cupped the back of my head to tilt my neck. He then buried his face in my neck. When he started sucking my skin, I already knew where this was going. “Ben! Ben, wait!” I whimpered, trying to pull away from him. He looked at me, a hurt feeling crossed his eyes.“We are here for something important. Let me do that first. And what would Nana think?” I tried to knock some sense into him.“What else to think here? We are married.” He tried to argue. But I was already pulling away from him. Benjamin laid down on my bed. His hands were under his head. He had a dreamy look on his face.“Let me hear your thoughts, Benny. What's going on in your head?” I asked while rummaging through my stuff.“I am dreaming about having sex with you in this room. Making you scream my name while I hold you down and fuck you hard.” Whatever I had in my hands, fell on the ground as he spoke his dirty thoughts out loud. He started laughing as soon as he saw me in a shocked state.“You are ignom
CHARLOTTE I stepped out of the house, carrying a bunch of sauces with me. Charlie and Benjamin were done grilling the fish. Although Charlie never liked to add veggies on the side, because of Benjamin, Charlie didn't argue. “Something smells delicious.” I spoke out loud, making my way toward the table they had set for us. I didn't have to do anything at all. Boys did everything for me. When I met Benjamin's gaze, he had his mischievous glint in his eyes. He pointed his finger at me and mouthed quietly. “You!” My eyes widened as I knew what he was referring to. I didn't know how to hide my embarrassment. We all sat down on the table. Benjamin grabbed the first bite on a fork. He carefully blew on it then held it against my lips. My cheeks burned at the princess treatment. Smiling shyly, I opened my mouth and accepted the bite. My gaze went to my son who was staring at us with such admiration. I saw pride glinting on his eyes for his parents. “And that's, how my son, you take care o
CHARLOTTE Benjamin was still asleep. I couldn't tell when and how I opened my eyes. But the moment I opened my eyes again, I was awestruck by the beauty of my man. I couldn't remember when I was able to look at him for this long. I watched the darkness of the night brighten up as the sun rose up in the sky, all on his face. Then all of the sudden, he turned his face to me. My eyes widened in surprise and I held onto my breath. “Don't look at me like this. You'll fall in love with me.” My cheeks burned as I heard him. Smirking at me, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me on top of his tall figure. “How long had you been staring at me like that?” He asked, making me giggle.“Longer than you can imagine.” I replied in a low tone. Benjamin then sat up on the bed with me in his lap. “Let's shower.” Benjamin announced and before I could say anything, he was already walking into the bathroom with me in his arms.I waited for him outside the cubicle as he adjusted the water temperat
CHARLOTTE Something was not right. Ever since we had sex in the hospital room, Benjamin was suddenly quiet. He brought us out of the hospital. Joe was waiting for us outside. “You can go, Joe. I'll need to take my wife somewhere. Please, pick up Charlie from school.” Benjamin ordered Joe. Joe nodded his head then walked away. He opened the passenger side door for me. Once I settled in, Benjamin hopped into the driver's side. The car ride was awfully quiet. “Ben! Where are we going?” I asked, while playing with my fingers on my lap. I was nervous. For some reason, it felt like I had done something wrong.He might have seen it. Because the next second, his free hand was on my hand. He gently caressed the back of my hand with the pad of his thumb. When I looked up at his face, he had a gentle smile on his face.Usually, he had that smile on his face whenever he was either with me or with Charlie. It was kinda embarrassing that sometimes, it made me feel jealous. Sometimes I was jealous
CHARLOTTE It was Friday. As Benjamin wanted me, I had applied for Ada's job. I was stunned to receive the interview letter the very next day. Benjamin was the happiest and the proudest ever since I got the interview letter. As if, he won some kind of lottery. “Babe! I am not a child. I know how I am supposed to dress up for the interview. And it's not my first interview.” I tried to argue with Benjamin when he had literally placed my whole wardrobe on our bed. He was looking for the perfect dress for me to wear for my interview. I was grateful to my father in law for taking Charlie away from the house that day or my son would have definitely experienced us arguing in front of him as well. He had seen the most horrifying moments in between Benjamin and I. Especially when I was giving up on my son.After everything he had faced in his life because of our stupidity, I wanted him to live his best life. “I am just helping you to look better on your big day. What's the problem with that?”
CHARLOTTE I opened my eyes again and found myself wrapped around his body. I was practically on top of Ben's tall figure. He had one of his hands buried in my long locks, massaging my scalp ever so gently. While with the other one, he was stroking my back gently. I looked up at his face, and earned a soft peck on my forehead. “Did you sleep well, my love?” Benjamin asked in a soft voice.“Yes!” I replied, smiling widely. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead again. As if he couldn't keep his hands and lips off of me. “You know, you are the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.” Benjamin whispered in my ear. His words were laced with so much love, I could barely hold my tears at bay. I just buried my face in his chest.“Are you sore, Tinkerbell?” He whispered softly and my cheeks burned. “What else to expect. A little.” I was annoyed. He was treating me as if I was a kid. “Don't feel offended, my love. I must care for you afterwards. That's all. Do you want
CHARLOTTEThe car stopped right in front of a five star hotel. Of course, I couldn't expect any less from the man I had married. He stepped out of the car then held his hand in front of me. Smiling, I grabbed his hand and pulled me out of the car. We walked into the hotel where the manager was already waiting for Benjamin and I, to take us to our room. Once we were inside the elevator, Benjamin pushed his hand up his blazer that was covering my naked body. I was grateful that I was still wearing my underwear. Benjamin had his hand all over my ass. I had to bite my cheek to keep myself from moaning.Once we arrived at the floor, he wrapped one of his arms around my waist and pulled me out of the elevator. The staff opened the door for us. Before we got in, Benjamin took the key card from them and bid the staff goodbye.I was inside the room, exploring. “Do you like the room?” Benjamin asked me as he wrapped his arms around me from behind. “Yes! It's better than when I have imagined.”
CHARLOTTELicking my lips, I spread my legs wide for him. I closed my eyes as I didn't have the strength to look him in the eyes as he watched my body. I was completely naked in front of him, and completely vulnerable. Yet, I didn't feel like I was threatened by him in any way. After all, he was miraculously the father of my child. “Look at me, Tinkerbell. There is no need for you to feel embarrassed by me.” Benjamin whispered softly when he noticed how uncomfortable I was.I looked at him, my heart thumping loudly against my rib cage. His eyes were the darkest shade of blue when he was actually devouring me with his eyes. “Oh my God! You are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen in my life. Tinkerbell, you are just perfect, like a goddess.” It was a compliment. It was supposed to make my heart flutter with happiness. But instead, I felt jealousy burning my heart. I grabbed his face with one of my hands and pulled it closer to mine. My eyes were blazing with jealousy, I could feel
