Charlotte's words were cut off as she heard her mother burst into loud sobs that made her heart stop beating in her chest for a second and when it started beating again, it was very fast.

Charlotte immediately let go of her work back to hug her mother, "Mom, please don't cry," as she said these words, she too felt her eyes clouding with tears.

One of the reasons she never wanted to tell her mother that she got married even when she knew that she would eventually have too. Charlotte knew that her mother would feel guilty. Her mother would feel like she ruined Charlotte's life because she was sick and couldn't afford her treatment.

"I'm so sorry Charlotte, it's all my fault. If only I was a good mother, if only I didn't fall sick all this wouldn't have happened. You wouldn't have had to get married to a man you don't know or like, I'm so sorry." Emily said amidst sobs

The tears immediately began to drop down Charlotte's face at her mother's words. She opened her mouth to stop her mother

    “How was your day at work today?” Charlotte jumped on one foot, nearly screaming in shock as she spun around and came face to face with Dalton. She swallowed thickly before responding, “I have had better days,” Was it her eyes playing tricks on her, or did his eyes soften at her words?“Right, you are not going to fall sick, right?” He asked as he wheeled himself inside the room.She shook her head, “No, of course not”“Good. Do you have anything you want to tell me?” He asked with his gaze fixed on her.Charlotte shook her head again. When she got home, he was still at work, but she thought that she would meet her luggage outside or be stopped from entering the house, nothing like that happened. Though, the servants all gave her the same looks like the one she was given at work, anytime she caught them staring they would immediately turn away. The only person who behaved like she normally did was Mrs. Brittany. Charlotte half expected Dalton to be waiting for her in the room with

    She even enjoyed the kiss. Charlotte brought her hand up to touch her swollen lips before sliding down to the floor as a foreign feeling enveloped her. She snapped back to her senses in the next minute.This was not supposed to be happening. She was not supposed to be waking up in his arms, nor was he supposed to be kissing this morning.There was no way neither him nor his family has not seen the news. If not, why did he question her last night if she was okay and if she had something to tell him?Charlotte stood back up from the floor before she began to pace around in the bathroom. What was Dalton's plan? Was he going to pretend like he didn't see the news and continue being her husband? Was it all for a show, so it wouldn't be like her family played his? Charlotte was in the bathroom, just pacing about for a long time, trying to come up with an explanation for Dalton's behavior. In the end, she couldn't come up with anything.Bethany was supposed to be his fiancé so of course he

    “No, I don't have anything to say” Charlotte kept cursing herself all the way to her place of work. She should have just told him to clear the air, but she was too much of a chicken and could not bring herself to do so.Like yesterday and all the other days she had been gossiped about, every eye was on her. This morning, on her way to work, she was scared that the paparazzi would have found out where she worked and would be waiting for her, but she thought wrong. Looked like they were not really taking this news seriously, but she thought that something or someone else might have stopped them from coming.She hated Angela's eyes that were following her around, the snarky remarks sent her way, and also the looks Walker kept throwing her way. Walker warned everyone to stay away from her and if anything about her family was discussed, that group of people would be fired. It came as a shock to her, but she was grateful and did not hold back in thanking him.Charlotte went straight to th

    “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

    “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
