“Dalton might have stopped them from saying anything, and I'm sure he was also the one that suppressed the news”

The words her mother told her kept ringing in her head as she left for home on Sunday night. After her and her mother's talk, she realized just how foolish she was again. Though she hated to admit it, her mother was right, these days, she was acting just as foolish as her father.

“You are home late, wife,” Dalton said immediately as she entered their shared room. He was already on the bed and Charlotte knew that he was half asleep because of how deep his voice was and how sleepy his eyes were, the noise of her coming in must have aroused him.

“My name is Charlotte,” she rolled her eyes at him before going inside their walk-in closet to take off her clothes and wrap a towel around her chest. She grabbed her pajamas and walked out.

Dalton was laying on his back, now fully awake when she return to the room, “You never complained before about being called wife so what’s wrong t

    “What do you want again, Collins? For goodness’s sake, I just sent you money yesterday?” Amarie had a distraught expression on her face and had her hand running through her hair repeatedly as she paced from one end of her shared room with Hughes to the other.She felt like her head was being banged on. It was so heavy, she wanted to hold it, move to lay on the bed and go to sleep forever. She wished she wouldn't wake up, so she would've had to deal with what she was dealing with right now: Collins calling to ask for more money. He was becoming greedy with each passing day, she was fed up already. Collins snorted, “So what if you sent me money yesterday? I need more money today and like the good and lovely wife of a rich man that you are, you would find the money and send it to me”“And where do I get the money from?” Amarie thundered as anger took the place of frustration that has been boiling in her heart since she picked his call. He'd called her more than fifteen times, and she ha

    He'd asked her on the night of the day that the news went viral if she had anything she wanted to say to him, and she said she had nothing to tell him. She was stupid.“You saw the news, why didn't you say anything to me?”“Was I supposed to say something to you? You were the one who was supposed to report such things about your family fighting you to your husband. I asked you that night if you had something to say, and you said no.” Dalton told her with a small shrug.Charlotte's breath caught in her throat, this was not how she envisioned their discussion to go. She'd hoped that he hadn't known about the news, that he would be surprised, then he would get angry and throw her out. Not that she was wishing herself bad luck, but it was just the right thing for him to do: throw her out. “Since I didn't say anything to you, why didn't you say anything?” She really wanted to know why he did not say anything to her. Surely, he must have his reasons.“You did not report it to me, so I thou

    “You wanted to see my medical records the other day, huh? Why haven't you asked me for it, since you have suddenly become so nosy about my business?” So Graham told him about it? If his personal assistant told him about it, then why has he not asked her why she wanted to see his medical records before today. “Yeah, I asked Graham about it, and he asked me to meet you for it. I don't know if it's because he is loyal or if it's because he doesn't want your anger directed at him.” or he does not see me as your real wife because of the rumors flying around, Charlotte held herself back from adding that part. “Why didn't you ask me for it then?”She turned to face him, he was looking forward and did not even spare her a glance. She knew that he was aware of her eyes on him. “Well, I'm asking now, am I not?”“My mom didn't show it to you?”Charlotte's breath caught in her throat, especially at how cold his voice sounded. None of the warmth she had grown used to these past few weeks was c

    “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

    “Does your mother know about this? Has she seen you?” Charlotte raised her head from his chest to ask.Dalton nodded as he stared down at her while slowly stroking her hair, “Yes, she has seen me?”“Eh? But how?” Charlotte asked with a frown. Did he not just return back or did he…?“I went to see her, my father and your mother before I came here.” Dalton answered.“Oh?” Her mouth formed the sound, “They must have also been surprised right?” “They surely were, my mother cried too.”Charlotte's lips lifted in a small smile, “I'm glad that she is happy.”Like her, Sarah has been worried sick about Dalton throughout the time he was receiving treatment. She hasn't only been worried about the pain he must be feeling but about the fact that it might be too late, he wouldn't be able to walk ever and all the pain would be for nothing. Of course, it didn't come as a surprise to hear that Sarah cried after seeing Dalton. Any normal mother would.“It's also a good thing you went to see her feist

    Charlotte could not stop the little moan of pleasure that escaped from her throat when Dalton's hand came up and his thumb grazed her nipple, which immediately hardened. She thought his hand would stay on her breast, but it moved to grab her neck softly as her lips continued to move over hers. Dalton slowly pushed her back until her back was on the bed, and he was laying over her, their lips still locked in a passionate and drugging kiss that made Charlotte's toes curl. The kiss ended as abruptly as it began. Charlotte moaned in loss when Dalton slowly withdrew from her. She gazed up at him with watery eyes.“You want more?” Dalton asked her with a sly smile. His hand was still on her neck, and he flexed his fingers before he moved it to press on the pulse in her neck. “Huh” Charlotte nodded with a soft hum before she could stop herself and Dalton was on her once again, kissing her with reckless abandon until they were both breathless and aching for more. Until the hard length of h

    She finally got to see Dalton's face after seven months of them being apart and of her reminding herself of what her husband looked like by always staring at his picture frame before going to bed and every morning when she woke up. Charlotte had now fully blended in with the other workers at the office and she was no longer treated differently. Everything was well now and it was just remaining for Dalton to come back home and everything would be perfect. She went to bed early that night because she had important things to do at the office. She didn't know that waking up early would mean waking up to her husband lying beside her on the bed. Why didn't anyone tell her that he was done with his treatment and was going to be returning back soonest? Imagine Charlotte's shock when she woke up with someone in bed with her. She screamed as she jumped into a sitting position, thrashing around as she attacked the person. How did he get to her room and then to her bed when there were guards

    For three good days, her father stayed in front of Dalton's gate with the reporters, waiting for her to open the gate for him. At one point, Charlotte thought that her mother would break and go out to speak with him but her mother was too busy trying to beat Mrs Brittany in the game of cheers. Her father fainted. She sat there, clutching Dalton's pillow, and watching, together with the millions of people who were following the news as her father's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed to the ground. He had been standing there, refusing to eat or drink or even sit down.. maybe he hoped that if she and her mother watched him punishing himself, they would take pity on him and come out but he was wrong. Four years ago, it would have worked but not now. Not after everything he has done, not after sending her and her mother away. It was funny how the human mind worked. He left them but now that he found out that he had been living with a fraud, he remembered her and her

    Charlotte and her mother remained indoors for the next few days with their eyes glued to their television screen. They'd seen the DNA results that the nurse from the hospital where the DNA test was taken uploaded online. They also watched as Hughes had Amarie thrown out of the house without a penny, and also how Amarie went to Charles's house in search of Bethany who refused to step out to speak with her. Reporters kept following them like flies following corpses to the grave and aring everything.Soon, Hughes called the cops on Amarie and they went to bundle her away from Charles's porch where she was camping. Charlotte couldn't help but give a small laugh as she watched her Amarie struggling to be free from the cops to run away but it was already too late for her. Only Hughes knew why he did not have Bethany arrested along with her Amarie but Charlotte did not care. She knew that her father wanted Amarie to think she could deceive him and go scot-free. He gave her hope then dashed

    "Ahhh" Bethany yelled in pain as something heavy hit her on the head and she felt her skin burst open and something hot and wet trickled down. She did not need anyone to tell her that it was her blood, she was bleeding. Her head had burst open. She burst into tears as she curled up on the floor. She knew that she was going to die today and if she survived it, she would surely die of humiliation later. She couldn't seem to feel the bag she brought from the bag that contained the little bit of cash she wanted to use to escape anymore. That man must have succeeded in taking it away from her. "Leave the way""Get out of the way" There were screams of pain and panic and soon, Bethany could not feel anything that was being thrown at her again, did it stop?She felt a hand touch her softly causing her to flinch and a familiar voice whispered her name, "Bethany, hey,"Bethany froze before slowly taking her hand that she's been using to protect her face off and lifting her head.

    Bethany sighed in relief when she was able to get out of the hospital without Hughes guard catching up with her. She was sure that he would be on the phone right now with Hughes, delivering the results of the DNA, and Bethany did not care. All she cared about was now leaving the country immediately, but she did not have any of her documents with her. Bethany felt like stomping her foot, but that was not going to help. She needed to be calm so that she could think straight. She looked left, then right before her eyes fell on a bank, and before she could stop herself, she was walking down the road to the bank.She was going to make a small withdrawal, and she was going to be leaving the country by sea. She still needed her documents for that, but she could just bribe them to let her get on the ship. It was much easier this way because Bethany knew that she might not be able to get back inside Hughes house, and she did not want her mother clinging to her at this moment. A tiny smile o

    “Brute!” Hughes yelled for his guard, who had been standing by the door and waiting for his instructions.“Sir” “Drag her out, now!” Hughes bellowed as he pointed at Bethany, who immediately shrank back in fright as if trying to enter the wall behind her. “We are going to the hospital to run a test on her. I want to know if she is mine or if she belongs to that bastard!” Hughes did no longer care. If Bethany turned out to be his, he would apologize to her and get her a very expensive gift then he would think about the right punishment to give to Collins for deceiving him and trying to ruin his family. But for now, he needed to make sure he’d not been deceived by Bethany and Amarie.“You cannot” Amarie yelled anxiously as she threw herself on Bethany. She stood in front of Bethany with her hands stretched out protectively, like a mother Hen protecting it chicks from an eagle. At Amarie's action, Hughes saw red, “Shove her aside and take the girl away,”That's exactly what Brute did,

    “Mom,” Charlotte snapped, “You won't be going back to him right? This was the man who not only cheated on you a year after your marriage to him but also threw you and your child out when his mistress and her daughter arrived.” Her eyes were red with tears and her heart filled with anger as she thought back to the past; the day her father threw her and her mother out. The memory was still fresh in her head. It was the day after her eighteenth birthday. Bethany has caused a scene, wanting to wear the same clothes as her for her birthday. She didn't care, but just a day before the party, Bethany had thrown a fuss crying about how her dress was ruined.Bethany came out that day with her blue dress that had been torn in different places with scissors and, in front of everyone, had told her that 'she did not have to ruin her dress because she did not want them to wear the same thing'. Charlotte has tried to deny it, but no one believed her.With the other stunts that Bethany and Amarie had
