OWEN'S POVThe sun rays peeked through the curtain and fell directly on my face. I opened my eyes slightly and quickly shut it back, my head pounding slightly for no reason. I tried to stretch but found out that I couldn't move my right arm. Confused, I looked down at it and my eyes widened at the sight of Charlotte laying beside me, her head well tucked in on my right arm. Suddenly, the memories of the pleasurable long night we shared came rushing to my head and I found my grinning hard as I tried not to make any noise. She's finally mine. All mine. I gently moved her hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear as I smiled, my heart swelling with love for her. She suddenly moved as she snuggled into me more, wrapping her arms around me and mumbling incoherent words. She's so adorable. I booped her nose as I watched her sleep. I took a look at the clock, it read five minutes past 8. She should rest a bit more, it was a longgggg night. A few minutes passed and I was still watc
CHARLOTTE'S POVI opened the bathroom door and peeked out of it to see if Owen was still in the room and I sighed in relief when I saw it was empty. I got out, wearing his bathrobe and I was surprised to see my clothes on the bed. Did he pick these out for me? I squealed in happiness at how romantic he was becoming. I got dressed in a few minutes and headed for the kitchen and I was hit hard with an amazing smell. I rushed to the kitchen and he was standing by the counter, with an apron around his waist. He seemed so focused on cooking that he didn't notice I was behind him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he jolted a bit at my touch. “What's hubby cooking for me?” I mumbled against his back and he smiled as he turned to me and placed a slight peck on my head. “Bread and scrambled eggs.” He replied and I gasped in excitement as I looked over his shoulder and it looked mouth watering. “It looks beautiful!” I exclaimed and he chuckled as he laced his free hand with mine and
OWEN'S POVMy mind kept drifting to the stranger that called earlier and his terrifying words. His next text made it all more confusing. Charlotte stared at my phone then she stared at me, her eyes widened at the things she just read. “What does he mean by ‘People are after me. Don't trust anyone.’? Who is this person?” She asked and I ran a hand through my hair, frustration taking over me. “He said you're in danger, then proceeded to send this. I don't know if I'm wrong, but whoever it is seems to be looking out for us. The previous texts he sent me were talking about secrets that I needed to know about.” I reasoned but Charlotte looked skeptical about it. “Looking out for us? I don't know, he seems dangerous to me.” She interjected and I let out a frustrated sigh. “Here's what you're going to do for me, make sure you stay indoors throughout. At least until we're sure you're out of danger. Do not meet anyone else except Roselia. I trust that she won't hurt you. I'll find you a b
CHARLOTTE'S POVI buried my face in my pillow as I remembered the look on Caleb's face when he caught Owen and I making out. That was embarrassing but to my utmost surprise, the thought of it made me even more excited.That is definitely weird. What has Owen done to me? A thought suddenly dropped inside my head and the next minute, I was rummaging through my closet. When I found what I was looking for, I raised it up and stared at it in satisfaction. I bit my lip in anticipation as I imagined the look on Owen's face when he saw me in this. I quickly changed out of the clothes I was wearing and put on the lingerie. Oh no, this was a bad idea! Suddenly my door flung open and I screamed as I tried to cover myself. My eyes widened as Owen came in and he stared at me in shock. His eyes took in the view in front of him and something flickered in his eyes. Something that made my insides burn. “I- I was just trying out clothes…” I stuttered and he walked closer, his gaze fixed on me and I
CHARLOTTE'S POVMy head spun wildly as I stared at Micheal in shock. My hand tightened around Owen's and he turned to look at me in alarm as he placed his hand on my cheek. “Are you okay, cupcake?” He asked worriedly and my eyes drifted back to his. My heart relaxed as I realized that I was already married to this romantic billionaire and that he was all I needed. “Can I talk to you for a second?” I asked as I got up and pulled him with me and he got up too. I held his hand and he followed me to the kitchen. “Is something wrong? You're acting strangely.”“Can we not hire him? I don't like how he looks. He looks scary and intimidating.” I lied as I pouted slightly and he chuckled, a look of relief settling on his face. “Cupcake, the scarier he looks, the safer you are. He wouldn't hurt you, he's here to protect you.”“But he looks terrifying!” I whined as my eyes drifted to Micheal and I could see him staring at me, his eyes boring holes into my body. Wait a minute… He made me cry
OWEN'S POVI sighed, devastated at the news I just got from Caleb as I walked back to the room. The company's revenues were dropping drastically. Father won't let me go to work and I can't fix anything from home. I need to have a talk with him as soon as possible. I opened the door to my room and was surprised when I saw the newly appointed bodyguard in the room with my wife. She looked flustered as she saw me, like she had been caught doing something bad. I raised my eyebrow at Micheal and he cleared his throat as he stood straight. “I heard her scream from outside, so I came to check in on her. She had missed her step and fell while trying to get out of bed. All I did was help her get up. I was on my way out when you came in.”I immediately walked over to Charlotte as I looked at her in worry. “Did you get hurt? Why did you get up? I told you to stay still till I'm back.”“I needed to use the bathroom.” She mumbled and she avoided my eyes as she spoke. I waved a hand to dismiss M
CHARLOTTE'S POVMichael's presence has made me nothing but uncomfortable. He always found ways to come close to me. Either by brushing his fingers over mine, walking extremely close to me so that our skins touch and even going as far placing a hand around my waist when no one's there.Owen has been a very romantic husband but he's been having less time for me recently. He's either buried in his laptop, or flipping through different files.I'm laying with my head on his lap right now and he's flipping through files that look so boring. I looked up at him and I fell for him again for the umpteenth time.He looked so attractive with glasses and his hair packed up into a ponytail. I pouted as I tried to get his attention but none of it was working.“You don't love me anymore.” I complained and he glanced at me for a while before returning his attention back to the files.“You're overreacting, Cupcake.” He replied and I folded my hands in annoyance. “I'm not overreacting! You love your pa
OWEN'S POVCharlotte has been acting weird since we left the house. She looked very majestic and ethereal, and it was evident that Roselia did great work on her but something was wrong. She kept avoiding eye contact, she wouldn't let me hold her hand and she kept fidgeting beside me. “Cupcake, I'll ask you this one more time. What is the matter? If you don't feel comfortable about going to the auction, we could make a u-turn right now.” “I said I was fine, Owen. I just feel a bit nervous.” “Then let me help with that.” I mumbled as I took her hands in mine and lifted it to my lips but she quickly pulled away from me as she cleared her throat. My expression turned sour and she turned to look outside the window. Did I do something wrong? “Are you mad at me, sweetie?” I asked, my voice dropping to a low rumble as I inched towards her and placed a hand on her waist. “I said everything is fine!” She snapped and I moved my hand immediately, hurt written all over my face. “I'm sorry.
