Charlotte had thought that she and Walker would have issues after what she did at that party the other night, but she was wrong. Walker completely avoided her. They only ever talked when it was business. He never asked how she or her mother was like he always did in the past, and it was fine with Charlotte.Of course, she and Dalton stepping out for the first time as husband and wife was in the news and the people at her place of work began to look at her in a different light and with respect. Many people still couldn't understand how Charlotte later turned out to be the wife, but they made no remarks about it. Even Angelina never came to disturb her again or throw snide remarks anytime she walked past. Angelina began to avoid making any contact with her whatsoever unless when necessary.Evelyn was always looking for Walker these days, and he never asked Charlotte to stop her from coming again. Charlotte just thought that Walker had gotten tired of sending her away and had instead de
Charlotte angrily grumbled under her breath as she slapped her hands over her ears and turned her head away from her phone before arranging the covers over her and falling back into her morning dreams. She was already half asleep when her phone began to ring again, making her angrily jerk up on her bed.“Who the fuck is that?” It was rare Charlotte ever swore, but this morning, she felt like she wanted to do more than just swear. She wanted to beat up the person who was blowing up her phone this early. Could they not wait for her to get up before they bombard her with calls? Was the world coming to an end, or something? With a loud growl, Charlotte got up and reached out to snatch her phone from where she threw it on the bed before going to sleep. She saw that she had ten missed calls from her mother. Charlotte immediately became concerned, the last time that something like this happened, it was her mother's neighbor calling to say that her mother had been rushed to the hospital. Pa
“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
“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,
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
"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. Happiness f
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
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
