    Charlotte got down from the Bentley and walked into the hospital with Andrew and Peter by her side. Her step's were light and bouncy. After she went downstairs to eat, she and Mrs Brittany had a big fight about who would reheat her food and just like their fight about the stool, she won. After reheating her food and eating, Mrs Brittany showed her the house It was way bigger than she thought but it was no surprise to her as she knew that rich folks tend to live in big houses. There was thirteen rooms in total and she wondered if his family do visit him and stay over because only their bedroom looked like it has been used, the rest looked empty even with the furniture inside. The maids and guards had their own quarter and only Mrs Brittany lived in the mansion with them There were two pools in total and a gym house. When Mrs Brittany showed her the gym house she felt tears prickle at the back of her eyes. Mrs Brittany told her that Dalton always hit the gym every morning

    Charlotte sighed tiredly as she turned her hands to look at the watch on her wrist. It was getting late but she had to work overtime because she made a mistake on a document while typing. She had just submitted that last file and was planning on leaving "anything else Mr Walker?" Walker raised his head from the document he was flipping through and looked at her with piercing honey brown eyes "how is your mother?" She smiled, he was a good boss "She is fine sir, thank you." Walker frowned at her polite reply. No matter how he tries to make her feel comfortable enough around him it seems impossible. There was that line that she still couldn't cross even if he so much wanted to to "when will she be discharged?" Charlotte shuffled her feet. She was already tired from going up and down in high heels since morning. She felt like her legs was on fire "I don't know for now but the doctor says that she is healing fast so I presume she would leave the hospital soon" " That

    Charlotte turned to Mrs Brittany "can you please leave for a while? I need to speak with them privately". Mrs Brittany did not want to leave " but Madam…". She knew that they must have done something provoking to make Mrs Brittany hesitant to leave her alone with them "I can handle them". Mrs Brittany stared at her for a while before relenting. She threw a dirty look in Amarie and Bethany's direction before walking out. Charlotte turn to them when she was sure that Mrs Brittany was out of eat shut "cut that bullshit about coming here to check up one me. What do you want?". " Why are you so uptight?' Bethany asked as she popped an olive in her mouth. "We just came to see how you are settling into your new life as a married woman" Amarie went back to sit down. Charlotte eyes them wearily "what do you want?". "Well, this house is so beautiful sister" Bethany stood up and walked round the dining table to stand in her front "I had one of the maids show me th

    Mrs Brittany walked back inside the dining room and saw that Charlotte's hands were on the dining table and her head was bent, her hair shielding her face from view. She could almost feel the anger on Charlotte. She had heard everything that was spoken loud and clear. Charlotte was not Dalton's real fiance but that mannerless woman. Charlie was deceiving Dalton because her father and the other woman including her daughter who was Dalton's fiance forced her to marry him. Apparently the other woman, Bethany, dumped Dalton because she heard of his accident. She was not going to report it to Dalton because she already liked Charlotte and she knew that Dalton likes her too. If not why would he suddenly be returning back home early after they got married. She thought that after everything that has gone wrong in Dalton's life since his accident he at least deserves love and if Charlotte was going to show him that, fake or not she was not going to destroy it. Charlotte has not d

    Hughes looked behind him when he heard the sounds of approaching footsteps to see Amarie coming down. "What have you been doing in the room that you have to keep the whole family waiting for you?" Amarie gave him a seductive smile, a smile that never fails to calm him down anytime he was mad at her. "Oh honey, I had to do a thing or two" she told him as she stepped behind his chair and placed both of her hands on his shoulders to give him a massage. Hughes was about to respond to her but Bethany spoke first. "Mom, Grandma is going to be eating with us today, you should have waited till another time to do that thing you were doing" Angelina Enfield smiled widely and she adjusted her glasses when she heard what her granddaughter just said. "You are too kind Bethany but it's okay. Now that your mother is here we can just start eating" " Alright Grandma '' Bethany nodded, her heart filled with joy at her grandmother's words. Hughes did not say anything anymore but gestur

    Charlotte grabbed her aching head with her hands. She woke up sick this morning and even after taking drugs she still felt sick. All she wanted to do was go back home and curl up on the king size bed she shared with Dalton. She was startled and nearly went flying out of her office chair when her phone rang, the sound causing her already aching head to ache all the more. "Hello". She groaned into the phone. "You useless piece of shit, how dare you block my number? You think I won't be able to get to you after you block my number? What useless daughter blocks their father's number?" The one who sold his daughter out to a crippled man she has never met before in order to receive funds for his business. Charlotte bit her lips at the comeback that sprang to her mind as she moved the phone away from her ear that was buzzing from her father's scream. "Why did you chase your mother and sister away, you ungrateful thing? If not for your sister giving up her place for you to m

    Charlotte woke up some time later in the middle of the night to someone pressing a cold towel on her forehead. Her body was no longer aching as before nor was her head heavy again. She was feeling cold but was painfully aware of her clothes sticking to her sweaty body. That was what woke her up. She was not feeling comfortable. Whatever the doctor fed her when she was asleep had definitely worked. "Dalton?" She murmured as she blinked her eyes at the man sitting on his wheelchair beside the bed. He was about to dip his hand that was holding the wet towel that had been pressed against her forehead some second ago into a bowl of cold water. He paused and looked at her. "How are you feeling?". She ignored his question, "what are you doing?". She was confused. Did she just see the almighty Dalton Moore taking care of her when she was sick?. "Wiping you down. You were sweating too much and won't stay in one place". He grumbled as he dumped the towel into h

    Dalton was not on the bed when she woke up and she was grateful because she would not have known how to face him if he was the first thing she saw after opening her eyes. Especially after last night's episode. She sat up and found that her bag has been placed on the bedside table, she reached for it and brought out her phone when she heard a notification sound. "You don't have to come to work today. I know you are tired, take today off and rest". The message was from Walker. She dropped the phone back and threw the covers off before getting down from the bed. She would have happily relaxed back on the bed and gone back to sleep. She knew that she would regret it later. She would die of boredom and then she would have work piled up for her when she resumed work tomorrow. "Oh God why?". She nearly wailed when she met Dalton in the dinning room. Turn and run back to the room or don't eat breakfast so just pretend like you did not see him, turn and walk out. Just as she

    “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
