💫 JAKE REID 💫I heard from Dr. Bell that Charlotte returned to work yesterday, upon my orders. That’s the only reason I’m at work today, that and also Ontario, I just have the feeling that he’s coming for me.About an hour after I had settled in the office, I could here someone fumbling with the door handle, trying to come in without knocking. I relax properly on my sit, this was the drama I signed up for.The person walks in, it’s Ontario and might I say, he looks so pissed off.“Why did you call Charlotte off her duty as my doctor?”He asked from the door, he walked into the office and bent in front of my desk, smashing his fist hard against it.“Tell me, I need to know”I curved the corner of my mouth slyly. “What kind of business man has no manners?”I asked with a raised eyebrow, I was referring to the fact that he barged into my office without knocking.He doesn’t respond to my question, instead he stands straight and rubs hard against his tempo.“Jake,
👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE 👩⚕️ I spent a good part of the day at home with my mom and sister. My shift was to start at 8pm till tomorrow morning. So I don’t go to the hospital until it’s 7:30 pm. Ontario has been blowing up my phone with calls and texts all day but I didn’t pick his calls or open his messages. I’ll talk to him later obviously, just not yet. When I got the hospital, Phoebe was the first one I saw, she didn’t look good. I mean she always has a face void of emotions but today, she looked gloomy. It made me feel as though something was wrong. “Hi phoebe, is everything alright?” I asked her when she got to where I stood. She doesn’t say a word but instead envelopes me in a tight hug. I do not like this feeling. When she frees me from the hug, I take a quick scan of the room and see that it wasn’t just Phoebe with the gloomy look, everyone else too. “Did someone die?” I asked but no one answered. Phoebe took out a letter from her breast pocket and handed it to me. She excused
👩⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS👩⚕️Who could have thought Jake could stoop so low, it was all part of an elaborate plan to get to the Reyes family after all, I was nothing more than a pawn in his game of chess. Here I was thinking, he had asked me out on that date because he wanted to make up for his attitude the first time we met Ontario did what he had to do, he chose his family over me, the business was his family business and he did what he could to grow it, too bad it was at my disadvantage. I know I should be blaming him for ruining my life but I really can’t find a reason too. Jake is the villain in this case and not Ontario. What I wish though is for him to have at least given me a heads up, maybe that would have lessened the blow. It wouldn’t so this hurtful if I found out from Ontario instead.I don’t take the bus home, I walk instead, from the hospital to my house is quite a distance but I was too immersed in my sorrow to even notice.I tried holding back m
♂️ ONTARIO ♂️The least I could do is to go see Charlotte and explain everything to her, at first I thought Jake was bluffing, not until I got a call from the minister telling me I have been awarded the contracts since Jake and his family backed out.She wasn’t home when I arrived so I opted to wait for her, Khloe kept me company until she arrived, she said Charlotte had left home very early in the morning, it’s evening time and she wasn’t back yet.I was almost changing my mind and thinking of coming back tomorrow when she walked in through the door. She seemed different, like something changed inside of her. “Charlotte…” I start to say when she sees me, her eyes are widened in disbelief.“What do you want? Please leave. I don’t want to talk to you” She says, avoiding my gaze.Why ask me what I want if you don’t want to talk to me? “I swear it’s not what it seems.” I try to explain “I can make it up to you.”“How Ontario? How? How are you going to make i
👩⚕️ 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
👩⚕️ 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
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
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
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
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
