“My mom's house,” Charlotte told Peter as she slid into the car. She had not planned on visiting her mother again until the weekend, but she needed answers to the questions that plagued her mind throughout the night. She'd had troubles with concentrating on her job for the day and ended up making different mistakes: from messing up files, picking out the wrong documents for meetings and putting too much sugar in Walker's coffee. Even Walker had noticed and asked her what the problem was. “Are you sure you are okay? You keep staring into space. What are you thinking about?” Walker asked after she snapped out of her thoughts. He had called her three times before finally getting a response from her.Charlotte shook her head, “Nothing sir,”“It doesn't look like nothing to me. I have had to call you multiple times before getting a response from you,” he paused and cocked his head to the side to observe her, "Is it your husband?”“What? No,” She nearly snapped. Charlotte was shocked that

“The accident Charlotte” Charlotte was quiet for a while as she thought about her mother's words: the accident. Her brows furrowed in a deep frown when she remembered the accident her mother was talking about. She could remember that it happened when she was much younger. It happened when she was six years old, “What about the accident?”Emily sighed as she sat up straight, “You lost your memory that night Charlotte, and it was also the day your grandfather died and Dalton left for to study in America,”At the mention of her grandfather, who she could not really remember dying on the day of her accident, Charlotte suddenly felt sick to her stomach as a certain thought occurred to her, "You and dad said grandfather died because he was sick”“No Charlotte, he wasn't sick,” Emily gasped and slapped her hand on her mouth after the words left.“He wasn't sick? Then how did he die?” She grew up with people who always avoid talking about her grandfather in front of her. Her mother's reactio

“You were only but a child, Charlotte. You didn't understand that your grandfather was weak, but you sure as hell didn't want him to die. We couldn't even tell you that he won't be with us in a few months. Call me selfish, but I was glad that you lost your memory, especially the one about the accident. But, the death of your grandfather in that accident bred another problem,"Charlotte sniffed as she pulled back from the hug to look at her mother's face, “What problem?”“Your grandmother began to hate you. She has never really liked me, but the hatred was not extended to you as you were her grandchild, not until that accident. She thought that if you had not demanded for you both to go to the park, your grandfather would have been with us for a few more months, and he wouldn't have died in such a painful way,”Tears welled up in Charlotte's eyes again as she finally put the missing piece together. After she got back from the hospital that time, she had known that there was someone she

“Why did he agree?” she knew that there must have been a reason for him to later change his mind. She was curious to know. “When I asked him, he said you were a hard kid to please and always had your nose in the air. He said in his eyes, no one was worthy of you except Dalton because not only was he richer, he was also very patient when it came to matters concerning you. He was willing to deal with your temper, tantrums and pamper you.”Times have changed now. She does not throw tantrums anymore. Life and situation had changed and shaped her life. “Why then did Dalton not come back for me?” She wanted to know why he went after her sister instead of her. “That's something I can't understand, and it's also the reason I never told you about it when you told me that Bethany was now betrothed and to be married to him. I thought that things had changed since he grew up, and I also knew that Bethany and her mother could have done something. They would have manipulated things to make it wor

“What in God's name is this?” Charlotte's face was squeezed deeply and in a disgusted frown as she gazed at the picture on her phone. Bethany's username was not hard to find because she was using her real name, and she was also on the top search as she was big on Instagram. And finding the picture was not hard as it was a pinned post. “What's the problem?” Emily shuffled closer to Charlotte to look at her phone. A frown also appeared on her face when she saw the picture.“I know that Bethany and I have some resemblance, and someone who's not close to us would mistake us for each other if we are seen separately. But, if we are standing together, that would be a different case, mom. She looks so much like me here,” Charlotte spat out the words in disgust. She could feel her stomach churning and felt like throwing up.Emily grabbed the phone from her daughter's hand and zoomed the picture, "Bethany and her mother are sickos. Amarie dressed her to look like you. As I thought, your father

“You better be. Prevention is better than cure.”***“So I went to see my mom today,” Charlotte finally decided to break the silence that has been dominating the dining room since she and Dalton began to eat. He was waiting for her when she got back. According to him, he didn't want to eat without her, as he had gotten used to the both of them eating together.After her words, she saw his hand that was holding his spoon and taking food to her mouth tremble before becoming firm.Dalton said nothing. He chewed and swallowed his food first before asking, not even looking at her, “What did she say?”Seems like he was not in the mood to beat around the bush today, since he went straight to the point, not pretending like he had no Idea of what she was talking about.Charlotte dropped her spoon and clasped her hands in her lap, “She told me everything,” His eyes darted to her when he heard the sound of her spoon hitting the plate as she dropped it. He frowned, “Continue eating while you tal

Charlotte's face turned red with embarrassment as she recognized the reason he was smirking at her. He had distracted her from teasing him with a hard kiss. Now, she has lost focus and could not remember what she was saying before the kiss. It was his turn to tease her, but thankfully, he didn't. Instead, he reminded her about what it was she was saying before the kiss. “Let me remind you about what you were saying before the kiss. You were asking if I knelt down to beg your grandfather to allow me to marry you when I get back after I'm done with my studies,”Charlotte cleared her throat and sat straight up, “Yes, I was asking you that, so did you do it?”“I didn't. I had other ways to bend a hard-headed man like your grandfather to my will,”“Hmm,” Charlotte was doubtful but intrigued. Her mother had said she was very close to her grandfather, and he gave his life for her. Such a man wouldn't have signed a contract for her to get married to a boy if the boy did not have to do someth

Tears were still in her eyes as she dropped her hand down from her forehead, “The reason why I got married to you was because my father promised to pay my mother's medical bills,” He didn't look surprised, "I know that already,"Charlotte shook her head, “No, you don't understand. I would have gotten married to just anyone he wanted me to marry at that time because my mother was dying. What if I had gotten married to someone else that was not you? So he wouldn't have paid my mother's hospital bill?” From just thinking about it alone, Charlotte felt like she would go crazy. Her chest was heavy with pain. Her father could do just anything for Bethany and her mother, but not for her? For the life of her, she honestly can't remember why her father hated her so much even to this extent. “It doesn't matter anymore, wife. You ended up with me, so let's not dwell on the past,” Charlotte swallowed thickly before nodding, “You are right, there is no need to think of the past,” she said it s
