Charlotte McCartney

From where I stood, I could see Josh and Beatrice having their conversation. It was as though she dominated the whole conversation and he just sat still and motionless, raising his head to say something every now and then but regularly.

The whole day had turned from a dream to a nightmare in a swish. I had worn a pretty expensive dress today but who knew that I would get embarrassed as well. What felt even worse of an embarrassment to me, was how every single thing these men said to him, he would not even try to defend himself.

“It's shocking how one will believe people way more than he believes himself. And to believe the wrong people for that matter”, I said to myself as I thought about what had just transpired. Josh just sat there like a little boy and the other men became more like bullies. It was extremely disgusting to watch. Situations like this are very core in our lives. They define everything from where we are to whatever we may have. We don't exactly

    Charlotte McCartney “It’s Charlotte, mother. Bitter as ever. I came over with my friends to say hi to her. We saw her standing here all alone so I decided to come over to see how she was doing and the next thing she started going all out on me, threatening to attack me”, Whitney said, replying before I could even recover from the shock of hearing mother's voice.Mother turned to me. It had been surprising to have found her here even though I had already seen Whitney and should have guessed that she came with mom. But Whitney was always in the hunt for rich young men so I was not surprised seeing her here. Also it has somehow proved that she wasn't even devoted to the Ron as anyone would expect after learning that she stole from me which wouldn't have surprised me at all. But finding mother here made it a whole lot more confusing as to why she was here.“You consider this a perfect place to embarrass yourself and your sister is that so”, mom said with an angry face.“She's the one who

    Charlotte McCartney I woke really late today. By the time I was waking up, Kelcie was no longer in the room. “She's probably out entertaining herself somewhere in the mansion. That girl has grown quite used to this mansion. If you did not know her or if you were visiting the Xavier mansion for the first time, you'd think she was born here”, I said to myself as I sat up in bed.“Luckily, there is no longer any use worrying over her the second I don't find her around me”, I thought and I laid back in bed. “Lydia is there. She will look after Kelcie I'm sure”, I added, relaxing even more comfortably. Months ago, when Kelcie and I moved here, if this ever happened, I would have panicked and hurried out to find her. You can't blame me for feeling that way. We were in a new environment, one that seemed more unfriendly and hostile. Especially with Josh being grumpy and angry literally every hour of the day.But lately it's been quite easy. The environment was no longer as hostile as it use

    Charlotte McCartney “Mommy, why are you up so early?” I heard and turned to find Kelcie staring at me from where she lay. I had done everything I could to not wake her as I sat up thinking.“Nothing baby, mommy is just having a hard time sleeping, that's all”, I replied with a voice barely above a whisper. It was not so early, just not the conventional time we usually woke up.“Are you thinking about my birthday?" she asked, smiling broadly at the sound of that herself.“Oh yes honey, I definitely am. It's one of the most important things right now”, I responded.“That's good mommy”, she said, still smiling. “Mommy, do you think Josh will allow the ponies to attend my party? I really want them to. They are my best friends mommy”, she added pleadingly.“You want to ride a pony on your birthday?” I asked, not surprised that she would want this.“Yes mommy but I also want the ponies to come. I promised them yesterday that I'll let them come”, she answered.“But sweetie, the ponies are

    Charlotte McCartney “Are you deaf? Where are you coming from?” Josh asked me angrily.“I…I… I went.. I went”, I stuttered, completely surprised to see him and even more shocked by the tone of his voice. “Why does he sound so angry? Is there something wrong? Did Kelcie do something?” I asked myself wondering why he seemed so mad at me.“Where are you coming from, woman?" he repeated, much firmer than before. “I went to see my grandfather”, I replied calmly, having recovered from my initial shock.“And you think it's alright to just leave the house whenever you feel right?” He inquired, sarcastically.“Josh, what's going on?" I asked, surprised at all the questioning.“What's going on? Is that you can just up and leave this house whenever it is you choose and please without telling the one who is responsible for you. And then I ask why is that so and you're asking me what's going on instead. Now that's what's going on?All this he said as though he was almost yelling.I'm… I started c

    Charlotte McCartney “So she had to talk to Josh’s father to tell Josh to stop putting engine oil in her perfume bottle”, Lydia said laughing.“That was terrible. He really did that? I asked genuinely horrified. “And too much for that matter”, I added, utterly irritated“Oh please, it's only normal for a boy child to be stubborn and mischievous. Meredith was just a really mean woman”, Lydia said, obviously taking Josh's side. “She hated Josh, it is that same hate that she passed down to Beatrice. If not for that, that girl would not have hated him”, she added with a somewhat serious face.“But why? Why did she hate a little boy that much” I asked, actually inquisitive now. I hadn't been all through.****When I woke up that morning, my throat felt very chapped so I got out of bed and headed straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water. On getting to the kitchen, I found Lydia who was already there making the first meal of the day. “Hi Lydia, good morning”, I greeted warmly, as I

    Charlotte McCartney When I woke up this morning, the only thing on my mind was confronting Josh. I had been postponing this confrontation for days now. Since we came back from the conference. Apart from the fact that Josh has been avoiding communication with everyone by staying locked in, I have not been able to see him because I have also been reluctant about seeing and talking to anyone.But after that conversation with the one person I cannot avoid talking to, my baby girl, Kelcie, I knew it was time to confront the situation. Kelcie’s birthday was fast approaching and I knew that if I didn't do or say anything I may have needed to explain myself to my baby on her special day and I was not about to do that. She had looked forward to this birthday party. It would have been cruel of me to use my emotion as well as Josh's as an excuse for ruining my baby's birthday celebration.“I will talk to Josh today. I have to”, I told myself as I sat up for the first time that morning. “I have

    Josh Xavier It all died that day to be resurrected at a later time. I had quietly planned it all. The stylist, the dress, the diamond she wore on her neck. Everything. Like hell I even cut my beard, I had not worn a clean shave in over twenty years and yet for that occasion for that day, I did because I wanted everything to be perfect even when I ought to have known that it was impossible.“You're a fool”, that bitch Meredith often told me.And I would call her a fool and reject it.“You don't even want to know why”, she said one day.“I don't care”, that's what I remember saying. “I never cared for what that woman ever had to say. But she used to talk about my folly with so much intensity and seriousness. One would think she wasn't just being irrational and abusive but now I realize she was barely stating a fact, the truth I never listened to”, I said to myself sinking deep into thoughts about my lifeIt wasn't until that day, that event, that I felt this close to believing the tru

    Josh Xavier The first step of my recovery was accepting who I had become. A crippled old man. “But it's only my legs that are crippled not the whole of me. I can't let these crippled legs stop me from being me”. That's what I told myself before I closed my eyes to rest for the night. These past few days since the conference have been the most difficult time of my life as crippled old Josh Xavier. It's funny because, I personally would have sworn that the most difficult period was the four to five months I spent in that damn hospital bed. But on the contrary all those months of lying in a hospital bed didn't count. “For the first month or so I was in a coma, the rest of the period, I spent lying in bed like some useless vegetable. How could those have counted for anything?” I asked myself in my moment of truth. “Yes, that's what these past five days have been for me, my moment of truth”. ****So when I slept last night I was determined to wake up a new man. “I may have lost these l

    Whitney McCartney “Hi mother”, I said, as I approached her. “Whitney”, Mother replied simply, without taking her eyes off the magazine she seemed to be engrossed in. For some reason though, I did not think she was really interested in the magazine. It felt like she was only acting to be interested in it just so she would avoid talking to me. I know this because I know Mother. If there was anything really intriguing about that magazine she would have been happy to talk about it.“Or maybe there is something intriguing in it and she is just too angry at me to want to tell me about it”, I thought. The thought of this cut me deeply. “This is all because of that stupid Charlotte that just refused to stay where she was supposed to be. I still don't know what was the need to do a wedding to solidify their stupid marriage in the first place. Talk more of making a big deal out of it so much as to come all the way here, to this mansion to inform Mother and try to rub his love for her in eve

    Charlotte McCartneyMr Peter Masketov himself along with a chain of assistants were outside waiting by the time we got there. “Mommy is that for us?” Kelcie inquired as soon as we got to where the small crowd of people converged.“I don't know Kelcie, let's see”, I replied, “let's see”, I repeated in my heart. “Alright, let's do this”, I said out loud, as the car revved to a halt, talking to myself much more than I was even telling her. We got out of the car. And set to head on to meet with the small crowd that was already smiling at us, a gesture of goodwill and show of an anticipated presence.“Ma'am”, the driver called back as we were about to join the convergence. “What time will be convenient for me to come back? I already have a time set to return but the boss signified that I inquire if you may want to take out some more time to do some other things before I return to take you to your destination” he said, speaking politely.“The boss, Josh” I thought. Up till now, I had not s

    Whitney McCartney For the first time in my life I feel so insignificant. This house, this mansion where I was born, where I have always called home feels like a strange land to me. “What is this?” I asked rhetorically, noticing a fading drawing on a small part of the mansion’s entrance. I walked closer to see what it was. “What is this? Why am I just seeing this?” I asked myself as I stared at the fading image of a lion. “Oh it's probably Grandfather's lion painting, the one mother was planning to have redrawn. So this is where it was?” I thought. I had not noticed it in all the years I had walked past that entrance.“Everything feels so unfamiliar. This unusual silence that is screaming so loudly only began after Charlotte’s uninvited and unwelcome visitation. Why did she have to come here anyway? Why could she not stay where she was? Why did she come here? She should have stayed there, where she belongs, with that broken piece of shit that calls himself Josh”, I thought, angrily.

    Charlotte McCartney“Weeeeeeee! That's how the plane goes mommy, weeeee!” Kelcie said completely ecstatic. I wondered how it was possible to not have been infected by this cheerfulness. Evidently Josh had made it happen. Her dream of flying was finally coming through and yet I couldn't find it in me to be happy because I knew what happened and certainly what lay ahead may only have looked good but was not at all. “Before I forget, your friend Maddie will be joining you two at the resort”, Lydia informed me. “She will be coming with a couple visitors”, she added.“Which visitors?” I asked, a little worried. I did not mind Maddie joining us at all. She would even be good companion. “But who else would she bring?” I asked myself, not wanting strangers. “It would be easy to face my embarrassment with Maddie and Kelcie alone. Maddie could even defend me if the need arises” I thought.“Don't worry, it's not too many people. She will be coming along with her sister and her sister's daughter

    Charlotte McCartney“Mommy! mommy! Get off the bed, we are already late”, Kelcie said, shaking me from my sleep.“I must have fallen asleep again”, I thought, recalling I wanted to shower earlier.“Late for what?” I asked, still very much asleep. Apparently, her shakes were courtesy of the fact that her baby strength had very little impact in doing what she had intended to do.“Come on now Charlotte, you can't still be this sleepy”, Lydia said. I hadn't even noticed she was also here too.“I'm really having a hard time knowing what I'll be late for”, I answered her.“Oh so you really have forgotten then?” she replied even in my daze I could hear the mild surprise in her voice.“Mommy, we're supposed to go and see the dressers today”, Kelcie replied this time.“Oh yes Charlotte”, Lydia joined in,”Your appointment was set for this date, today”.“Oh that”, I recalled loudly. “Is that even still happening?" I thought to myself. Today I was supposed to go to check out my wedding dress, fin

    Charlotte McCartney By the time I came out of the bathroom my baby was no longer sleeping. She had turned on the bedroom light and was already out of the room as she usually did in the mornings. I looked up at the antique wall clock in our bedroom, “7:41am”, I said. “Kelcie must be having her milkshakes by now or just talking to Lydia”, I thought, then it hit me like a blow.“Lydia knows”, I said out loud. “She knows. There is no way she doesn't know. She was the one who called Josh to come and conduct the wine tasting. We were supposed to do it together but she excused herself. I'm sure she would have expected me to do the same as soon as Josh arrived but I stayed, foolishly”, I thought.“That's what mother always talked about. This is the same thing mother always said about me, the same reason she's always complaining. I'm so stupid. I never think before I act. I'm just so stupid. I could have left. There was nothing stopping me from leaving. But I stayed. Why? I could have left it

    Charlotte McCartney “Baby”, I said as I stretched my hand to reach my baby. “Oh she's out already”, I concluded to myself as my outstretched hand met an empty bed. “She's probably watching the sunrise now”, I added, as I tried to sit up in bed. “There is something hard about this bed”, I thought, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. “Did someone replace the bed when I was out?” I asked myself.I yawned and laid back down to sleep but my eyes flew open almost immediately and I sat up at about the same instance. “Where am I?” I asked myself, looking round to check my surroundings. “Where am…” I was going to repeat the question again, when realization dawned me. “This is Josh's room. How did I get here?” I questioned, quite confused.“Oh my God! No! No! It did not happen again”, I said, wrapping my hand around my naked body, as I realized I was lying naked under Josh's sheets. My clothes were folded neatly at the foot of the bed.“Oh God please! This did not happen. How could I ha

    Charlotte McCartneyThe sound of his name had butterflies swimming around my stomach all of a sudden. I had deliberately avoided talking about him all morning and had tried my best to not spend my whole day thinking as well as talking about him but he was everywhere nonetheless.“What Is that?” Lydia teased. “You think I'm going to be carrying you around afterwards?” She asked, pausing dramatically. “No young lady, not when you have a loving husband”.I bowed my head feeling slightly embarrassed and mildly amused. “Lydia and her mean little humour could somehow take one off guard like that. But it's alright the lady means no harm”, I said to myself.“Don't you worry though? I'll go call him for you. I bet he's still in his room but definitely awake by now. Come on I bet it'll be fun too”, she said assuringly.As she hurried off, thoughts of the last night we were together filled my mind. I yearned so much for his presence but yet was still shy and scared to admit it. It just felt too

    Charlotte McCartney “The sugar is literally making me drunk”, Lydia exclaimed “It's too much don't you think?” she asked. “I love it Mommy”, Kelcie said to me. “Ms Lydia, why do you not like it?” Kelcie asked, turning to Lydia. Then, she chattered on and on as though the sugar was really getting her excited as Lydia had complained.“Too much sugar like this baby will have me living in the toilet for a couple days or weeks maybe”, she said, squinting her face. A proper look at the lady and you'd know that she had been a beauty in her youthful days and still, till this day gave off the impression of a beautiful aged lady.Kelcie laughed, “Ms Lydia you're saying the cake is going to make you poo poo?” She asked, amused. “Oh lots of poo poo I'm afraid”, she said, still squinting up her face.“But they do taste creamy as well”, I said. I personally thought it tasted quite good, heavenly to be exact, everything felt heavenly right now.“Yeah there's cream but there's sugar as well but p
