Love in Disguise Chapter 26: Think Big, Start Small
CharlesI couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed as I thought about it. Mason—Mr. Mason—seemed to be the kind of person I wasn’t. Smart, resourceful, disciplined, and, as I’d discovered last night, an incredible cook. Everything he did exude competence like he could tackle anything thrown at him.He made me feel… inadequate, to say the least. I wasn’t used to this feeling. My life had been a string of successes, propped up by family influence, wealth, and charm. But Mason? He was different. He was exactly the kind of guy women dreamed about, and the kind of man others respected.It was humbling.---As the day moved along, Mason sat across from me at the dining table, his face serious, all traces of last night’s playful energy replaced by laser focus. He leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table.“Back to business,” he said firmly, clearing his throat. “I’ve been thinking about the project, and I have a new idea.”I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Let’s hear it.”Before he b

EmmaThe morning air felt heavy as I paced around my small apartment, the unanswered calls gnawing at my nerves. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. Charlotte had always been quick to respond, even if it was just a short text. But now, silence.I tried her number again. The ringing tone filled the room, but it ended without a response. My heart sank. I sat on the edge of my bed, tapping my foot and biting my nails—a bad habit that resurfaced only in moments of extreme anxiety. “What if she’s been caught?” I muttered to myself. “Oh no... what if someone found out about her disguise?!”Shaking off the worst of my thoughts, I decided I couldn’t just sit and wait. I needed to check on her, even if it meant going to her workplace. I threw on a royal blue short gown, one of my favorites. It clung perfectly to my curves, with just enough cleavage to make me feel confident. After slipping on my heels, I gave myself one last glance in the mirror. “Charlotte, you better have

Charlotte“Emma, please calm down. It’s not that complicated,” I said, attempting to smooth the frown on her face. “I’ve got things under control. Charles and I are just working on that project I told you about. We’ve been overworking ourselves, so if it seems like there’s something unusual, that’s all it is. And as for Liam...” I trailed off, smirking slightly. “I’m disguised as a man, remember? There’s nothing serious.”Emma’s brow furrowed, Her expression clearly shows doubt or disbelief. “Are you sure? Liam’s been acting kind of... weird around you.”I laughed, shaking my head. “He’s not weird around me, Emma. He’s weird around you.”Her cheeks flushed immediately. “What do you mean by that?”“Oh, come on,” I teased, leaning closer. “Why do you think he’s always finding excuses to hang around when you’re here?”Emma waved me off, but I didn’t miss the way her blush deepened.“Someone already has a crush,” I said, wiggling my eyebrows.Emma threw a cushion at me, clearly flustered.

I was completely lost in thought, my head spinning with questions. How the hell am I going to keep up this disguise at Charles's house, surrounded by his family? The idea of his dad, sharp-eyed and probably strict, made my heart race. What if they figure it out? What if I blow my cover?I was so consumed by my panic that I didn’t see where I was going. Before I knew it, I collided with a colleague carrying a steaming cup of coffee. The hot liquid splashed all over me, soaking my shirt and tie.“Are you blind?!” I snapped without thinking, the frustration boiling over. “Can’t you watch where you’re going?”The woman stepped back, her hands trembling slightly as she stammered, “I’m so sorry, sir. It… it looked like you were lost in thought.”I huffed, trying to reign in my emotions. “Just… go,” I muttered, waving her off.She nodded quickly and walked away, leaving me standing there, dripping with coffee and feeling like an idiot.---In the restroom, I leaned over the sink, splashing c

Morning arrived too soon. The annoying sound of my alarm dragged me from the sweet comfort of sleep. I groaned, blindly reaching for my phone to silence it. As my eyes adjusted, I saw the date glaring back at me—Thursday.Thursday. Charles’s dad’s house. The weekend of doom.Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I sprawled out on the bed, limbs stretched dramatically as I stared at the ceiling.“Oh, dear God,” I muttered, “why me? Why now? Please help me survive this weekend without being caught. Please don’t let this be the end of me. Amen.”With a heavy sigh, I finally rolled off the bed and dragged my dirty laundry outside to wash it. Something about scrubbing clothes by hand was oddly calming—at least, that’s what I told myself to justify not using the washing machine all the time.Of course, Charles was bound to pop up sooner or later. He appeared in the doorway, watching me with his signature smirk.“Why don’t you use the washing machine?” he asked, leaning casually against the f

I shook my head, brushing away the unsettling thoughts of being caught by Charles's parents. It wasn’t like they’d show up unannounced, right? I took a deep breath and stood up from the couch, needing a distraction.“Mason, what are you up to?” Charles asked, glancing up from his phone.“To make breakfast,” I said, heading toward the kitchen.He got up too, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. “Let me join you. I need to learn. You did say no knowledge is wasted.”I stopped in my tracks, raising an eyebrow. “Remember the last time you tried to help? You practically redecorated the kitchen with eggshells, and the burnt toast could’ve been used as a weapon.”Charles chuckled, the deep sound echoing in the room. “Oh, come on, that day was fun! Anyway, I’ve been practicing.”“Practicing?” I echoed, skeptical.He grinned mischievously. “Yep. I’ve been taking lessons on YouTube.”I stared at him, blinking. “Wait, you?

Charlotte“I can do this,” I whispered to myself, pacing the living room after Charles reminded me about the visit to his parents’ house on Friday evening. His dad, the ever-imposing figure, loomed in my mind. But no, I wasn’t going to let fear consume me. I could face him. I had to.Charles glanced at me, his brow raised in curiosity. “Mason, are you talking to yourself again?”I stopped pacing and forced a smile. “Just giving myself a pep talk.”He chuckled, shaking his head. “You’ve got nothing to worry about. Trust me.”I wanted to believe him, but my nerves weren’t cooperating. Needing a distraction, I decided to shift the conversation. “Hey, why are you giving me credit for the AI project? You did all the heavy lifting. I just made a few corrections.”Charles leaned back on the couch, a playful smirk on his lips. “You’re being modest. Your edits refined everything. Besides, you gave me the inspiration. Without your input, this project wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.”I

Charles POVWhat have I done? My thoughts raced as I paced the room. How did this happen? I was sure I used protection. My frustration boiled over as I muttered to myself. “This cannot be happening” How did she get pregnant? I rubbed my temple trying to force a smile. To make matters worse, her family _ugh. I can't stand them. I was lost in thoughts when Mason walked past me fast, his fists tight and his face hard. His eyes burned with anger, and he didn’t even glance my way.Mason! I called, my voice breaking through the tension. He paused and didn't turn around. ‘I understand you are angry, and you have every right to be,” I said quickly, trying to keep him from walking away. “But please can we talk?”Mason spun around sharply, his jaw clenched. His eyes pierced through me as he replied, “Like I have a choice. “You're my boss”.The venom in his tone stung but I motioned for him to sit. He reluctantly dropped onto the couch across from me, his arms folded tightly across his chest

Love in Disguise Chapter 56: A Father's Ultimatum
Olivia's POVMy sister is one of the best people I've ever met in this world. She inconvenienced herself so she could feed us and pay our bills, but she could have told me the truth right from the start, and that was why we are sisters, right? Now everything made sense to me. The disguise I found in her wardrobe and how she has been acting suspiciously keep making me wonder how her boss hasn't noticed her. And how was she able to disguise as two people in the same location and at the same time?Running away from home will not solve the problem at hand and it will keep giving distances to the relationship between us. I ran away from home because I was angry at her, but at some point, I realized that I ought not to be angry, but I wanted her to realize the gravity of what she had done. We are family and we should get the approval of each other before we get involved in anything, especially this risky work of hers. She could go to jail for it if her boss could get that she's impersonati
Love in Disguise Chapter 55: Masks And Revelation
Charlotte's POV continuedI entered the house with my extra key and started tiptoeing to my room and suddenly I hit my head on the wall. I used my hand to search for the light switch to turn it on and see where I was going and the wall I hit my head on, and it was Olivia. She was dressed in shorts and a crop top. With the way she was tiptoeing, I knew she was trying to sneak out of the house probably to meet Adrian. For a second or two, we both stood staring at each other. Olivia tried screaming, but I was quick enough to cover her mouth with my hands so she wouldn't wake Mum up.“Relax Olivia. It's me, Charlotte, and not a thief who breaks in." I said. Olivia tried talking but my hands on her mouth restricted her from talking. Noticing her struggles, I decided to release my hand from her mouth hoping that she won't scream.“What the hell is happening here,e and why are you calling yourself Charlotte when you're not? Do you think I'm a kid?" Olivia ranted out. Noticing that words won'
Love in Disguise Chapter 54: The Unexpected Obstacle
Charlotte's POVI spent the night alone and the next day, I went to check up on Olivia at the hospital. I called Mum to give me directions to where the hospital was located and her ward number. I got to the ward to meet Adrian, who was feeding her, and my mum was sitting beside them.“Hey, mum. Good morning." I greeted her.“Good morning. How was your night and how was your journey?"It was fine mum.“It seems Mum is the only visible person here." Olivia mouthed.“No sis. I was about to ask you too. How's your health?"I'm getting better“I tried talking to you most times but mum said you're always sleeping."Yeah. The surgery stressed me, so I needed enough time to rest. How did your trip go in Hawaii?”Olivia asked me."It was fun and I took lots of pictures,” I replied to her back and brought out my phone to showher the pictures I took when I was wearing the red bikini."Oh, my goodness, Charlotte! You look like a water goddess.” Olivia exclaimed and I smiled ather.“How many guy
Love in Disguise Chapter 53: Returning Home
NEW YORK CITYMAVERICK SPECIALIST HOSPITALLinda Keller's POV (Charlotte and Olivia's mum)It's been three days now that Olivia has been in a coma, and she's responding to treatment, but she's yet to wake up. I could have told Charlotte on the phone but I don't want to disturb her fun. She's been trying to fend for the family and I admire her courage and selflessness in caring for the family. I rested my head on my lap when I heard Olivia calling me faintly.“Mum. Where am I?“Don't say a word yet. I will call the doctor to come check up on you." I said and went to call the doctor. The doctor came a few moments later and checked her vitals.“Everything is fine about her vitals but we will still have to keep her here to monitor her health because it's a miracle she woke up this early." The doctor said“Can she take food now?"You can only get her fruits. If you need anything, you should call me.” The doctor said and walked back to his office I guessed.“How are you feeling now?"

Love in Disguise Chapter 52: The Morning After
Chapter 52: The Morning AfterCharles POVI woke up the next day and used my hands to tap the bed to see if Angela was still there and if she was sleeping peacefully like the angel she was. I snuggled closer to her, taking in her sweet scent while she let out a little sound. The little act of hers made me chuckle. I moved closer to her and gave her a peck on her forehead. My hands moved to her silky blonde hair, and I brushed it aside, taking a better look at her face. I moved her hair sideways as I stared at the birthmark on the side of her neck, which looked too beautiful to be natural. I have seen this girl once again and I'm never going to lose her. I took my business phone and tried taking her facial pictures but it was out of power. I took my private phone and took her pictures in different poses as she slept. I'm so happy to get her pictures because if she should disappear again, finding her won't be a difficult thing. I got down from the bed to charge my phone, which was out o
Love in Disguise Chapter 51: Lost In The Moment
Emma's POVThe party was awesome and I enjoyed it a lot. In short, everyone enjoyed the party well except for my bestie. Talking about my bestie, I haven't seen her ever since she went to meet Charles and guess she was bored. I just hope she's not doing something risky. After the dance, I was about to look for her when I saw her walking into the party looking hot in her red bikini which made her the center of attraction at the party, and I guessed she had missed her real self and spotlight as an actress. I saw her walk over to Charles and push the girl who was seducing him aside before sitting on his lap. It's glaring that my bestie is all over thisguy. The short period of time they've spent together was enough to make them fall in love with each other. It's just that their love is in disguise, portraying what they are not and what they don't want, which makes it harder for them to accept their true feelings for each other. Soon, I saw both of them heading inside the lodge, and I kne
Love in Disguise Chapter 50: A Night Of Seduction
Mason's(Charlotte) POVAs we entered the beach fully, I felt more of the urge to do something crazy, but I tried to control myself and my feelings. I walked around with Charles as he had fun and I knew he wasn't comfortable. I left him alone to enjoy the party while I sat in a lonely corner to watch what wasgoing on in the party. I saw Emma giving Liam a lap dance and other couples kissing each other. I moved my eyes to where Charles was and I saw he was also having his fun. I guessed I'm the only one not having fun here. I stood up to meet Charles and lied to him that I was not feeling good and that I was going to rest in my room, but I had other plans. I went back to the lodge and I saw Tessa talking to one of the drink servers."What is she doing here?" was the question that came to my mind, and I was about going to meet her when I heard her speak."Have you given Charles the drink I told you to give him?." I heard her ask him."Yes ma'am"Good." She said and walked away. Charles

Alex's POVI chatted with Noah, but he wasn't replying to my messages. Then I decided to use another way to message him, and that got him to reply to my message.💬 I've been going through your page for a while now and I'm impressed about your drawing.You're a talented person.💬 Thank you very much.

Noah replied to me and went offline.💬 Okay. I will be counting on youA few minutes later,

Tessa's POVI sat down in my room, waiting for Alex's message or maybe a call to inform me of Charles' location, and just like I had thought, Alex's call came in, and I picked it up immediately."Hello, ma'am."Hello. Have you found an update?"Yes ma'am. Presently, Charles isn't in the state. He had gone on a short vacation with the company's staff in Hawaii to celebrate their recent success."Wow. That's a good thing. Is there any way I can go there to meet him and maybe seduce him?"I will look for a way around it and I also heard that a beach party will be held tomorrow."That's an opportunity to get him, Alex. I would be wearing my bikini since it's a beach party and you know how sexy I'm going to look."Yes, ma'am, but there's one more thing that can restrict you from attending the party."Which is?"The lodge they are staying at is a private island owned by the Goldbergs which means you willhave to get an entrance key or card to have access to the island and it's only the Gold
