“Ahhh,” Charlotte jumped in fright, nearly pouring the hot coffee on her body when she entered the room and heard a loud crashing noise from the bathroom.She dropped the two cups of coffee and hurried to the bathroom, but the door was locked from inside. She could hear Dalton swearing and cursing. It made her scared because she could hear the pain in his voice. Maybe he slipped and fell or something “Hey, are you okay?” Charlotte asked anxiously as she knocked loudly before placing her ear to the bathroom door. After the initial swearing and cursing, she could not hear any noise again. Her fear and anxiousness increased a thousand miles.“Dalton?” She called as she knocked again, softly this time.“I'm fine,” his voice was tight.“Are you sure?” She asked. “I'm fine,” he repeated in a firm tone this time.Charlotte sighed as she moved from the door and backed away to sit on the bed to wait for him. She knew that he had an accident, but she did not know the severity of his injury.S
“Please, can I see Dalton's medical records?” “Eh?” Graham appeared shocked for a moment before he recovered, almost too quickly, “You will have to ask Mr. Moore for it.”Charlotte sighed, “I would ask him, but I doubt that he would allow me to see it”“Then I’m sorry because I’m in the no position to release it to anyone without his permission” he turned to leave“I'm his wife, so I don't think I really need his permission to see his medical records”Graham paused before turning back to her,"I know you are his wife and that's why I told you to ask him for it." he was going to leave again, but he stopped and asked her, “What do you need to see it for if I might ask, Mrs. Moore?”Charlotte took a deep breath and clasped her hands together, “I think he fell in the bathroom last night. Not that I was there with him or anything,” she rushed to explain when she saw the look in his eyes, “I understand, Mrs. Moore, you don't have to explain how you found out,” Graham's eyes held an amused
“We really didn't have a good relationship in the past when we first got married as we have met only a few times before our marriage” Charlotte hoped that she was correct about the last sentence. She kept going when Sarah did not make any comments, “At first, I was the one trying to get close and speak with him but recently, our relationship has improved. It has improved a lot, if I may add”Charlotte was seated opposite Dalton's mother in a high-end hotel. It's been three days since she asked Graham for Dalton's medical records. Sarah had called her the next day, and they scheduled their meeting for the weekend.She had been nervous this morning about coming and almost canceled at the last minute. So far so good, Sarah has been as polite as she was during their family dinner the other night. Sarah has not asked about her family saga. Instead, what she was truly interested in was knowing about how she and Dalton's relationship was progressing.“Well, that's nice. It’s a relief to hear
Emily quickly came to terms with the fact that her daughter was married, causing Charlotte to be surprised. Emily was always asking how Dalton was and if their relationship was improving.Charlotte thought at first that it was because her mother was worried about her, but with time she began to think it was something else. Something she was unaware of because her mother always wanted to know everything to the tiniest details: if Dalton smiled at her or not, and even how wide the smile was if he did.Charlotte had explained to her mother that he wore a mask, and she had never asked him to take it off. She was already on her way home the day she met up with his mother when she remembered that she hadn't asked Sarah about the severity of the injury on Dalton's face.She decided to ask Graham about it. He just looked at her for a while, and in those few seconds she could see that he was thinking of the right answer to give her. In the end, he did not give her any reasonable answer.Simila
Dalton has taken his mask off. Charlotte went into a coughing fit, slapping her hands on her chest as she tried to get the coffee out of the wrong channel. By the time she calmed down, her eyes were red, teary and bulging out, while her nose was runny.“Haaaa,” with a sigh, Charlotte raised her head to look at Dalton. He was sitting there calmly like he had not just seen her go into a coughing fits or like he wasn't the cause of it.Charlotte swallowed thickly, who said Dalton has a scar on his face? Holy shit! His face was milky white and clear of any injury, and as handsome as it was in the frame hanging on his office wall. It made her surprised as to why he was wearing a mask. The reason people must have thought he was scarred was because he was wearing a mask, she was so sure of it.“What do you think? Do you like what you see, wife?” Dalton asked after giving her a few seconds to admire his face.Charlotte, who was lost in her thoughts, found herself nodding but when she saw the
“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
