Charlotte's POV

She just stared at the bread in her hand when Elisse suddenly appeared beside her.

"You might make that bread melt too with your staring."

While holding the bread, she lowered her hand and gave Elisse a small smile. Elisse raised an eyebrow even higher, almost reaching her hairline.

"From Elijah?"

"Yes."

"So, he's sweet after all. I thought he only knew how to be grumpy. That's good, so ants would come closer to him."

She tilted her head. "It hurts when you get bitten by ants."

"Let him be bitten by ants if he ever does. Sometimes being numb is not good, so it's better if he feels pain."

"Is what Elijah said earlier true? That's why you're here?" she suddenly asked.

The stern look on Elisse's face vanished, replaced by sadness.

"Yes."

"Why are you avoiding him if he likes you?" she asked, her brows furrowing.

Elisse smiled without showing her teeth. "There are different meanings to liking someone, Charlotte. His is not good because he's too possessive."

    Charlotte's POVHer eyes widened at what Elijah said. It was so easy for Elijah to say that. Meanwhile, she felt embarrassed because she didn't expect it."I just slipped; that's why I passed out. My head hit the wooden edge of the bed," she suddenly explained."Huh? What did Elijah say?" Elisse seemed confused."That's one of the causes of her fall."Elisse pursed her lips. She looked at her as if she meant something."You two, huh...""Whatever you're thinking, it's not true. That kiss was just an accident!"Elisse suddenly furrowed her brows. "An accident? How did that become an accident?""We were talking about the call on Elijah's phone. I just stepped on the floor wrong, so I lost my balance.""Really? I thought..." Elisse glanced at Elijah. "Tsk, don't expect anything. It will take years, for sure. Who called?""I don't know.""Maybe Elijah's secretary or some clients."It's too much if it's Elijah's client or secretary. The woman seemed too bold."Maybe." That's all she could

    Elijah's POVHis chest tightened at the words coming out of Charlotte's mouth. They got married because of his mistake, but that wasn't a reason for her to abort the baby because of her reasons."Have you thought that once you abort that baby, it's like you're killing the baby before it even gets to live in this world?""I'm not ready; I wasn't even ready when I married you!!""But it's a different story now that there's a child, Charlotte! Are you even thinking?!!" He shouted at her with frustration. He didn't care if he could be heard outside this room.She looked at him with anger. "This is your fault!! If you didn't enter my room and force yourself on me, I wouldn't get pregnant!!" Tears welled up in her eyes, dripping onto the sheets.He felt tears welling up in his eyes as well due to the tension. He couldn't think straight while his emotions were running high."Rest for a while; I'll come back when you're okay and when you're not driven solely by emotion. Wait for me after one

    Charlotte's POVShe woke up in her room, not in Elijah's room. She sat up, but a hand gently supported her back."Take it slow." She looked and saw Elisse by her side. "Do you want to eat? I can tell the maid to cook something for you."She shook her head. "Just water.""Wait, I'll get it from outside."Elisse left the room, leaving her alone. She closed her eyes, but then quickly opened them again. She placed her hand on her tummy, still unable to believe that a baby was growing inside."Here's your water."Elisse handed her a glass of water and sat back beside her."You can stay in this room for now. If you go to Elijah's room, you might just end up arguing again. It's better to calm down tonight so you can get along better tomorrow."She looked at Elisse. "I'm not ready."Elisse smiled. "No one is ever really ready for their first child. It's normal to have a lot of worries because it's your first time, but that's life; you have to go through the first time so you'll be ready for t

    Charlotte's POV"How long, Elijah?" She just stared at the glass and didn't look into his eyes. "As far as I know, you have a woman you love. Don't you want to be with her?"It was silent in the kitchen, and she wondered why it took Elijah so long to respond. It must have been several minutes that had passed. When she looked, his brow was furrowed because he had closed his eyes while folding his arms.Did Elijah fall asleep?"Elijah." He remained with his eyes closed. She finished the milk in the glass before standing up. He might be sleepy. It was almost four in the morning. "Elijah, are you asleep?" She grabbed his arm and gently pushed. He still didn't react or even open his eyes.She turned her head to look at his face. That girl Elijah liked was really lucky. She was nice; it seemed like she was the only one with a lot of problems in life, so the two of them didn't get along."Can't you both wait until sunrise? Go to sleep!" She glanced at the kitchen door. Elisse was standing th

He was reading papers for the materials to be used in his jewelry design, and he still couldn't quite get the look he wanted.As he leaned back and stared at the folder in his hand, the door to his office suddenly opened."Hi, Elijah!!" Venus approached him happily, but he motioned for her to stop with his hand. "What?" She seemed confused by his action."What are you doing here?""Just visiting and checking up on you. Is there something wrong with that?"He lowered the folder and looked at Venus's face. "Weren't we okay in the past few days because of your tantrums?"She smiled and approached him. "I'm okay now. I just had a hot temper back then.""But seriously, we need to stop this.""I won't get jealous anymore. Whoever it is, as long as it's just friends.""No. I don't want to, Venus. It's better if you just spend your time with someone else."Her face turned defiant. "Why don't you just be honest w

I just called you less than 30 minutes ago.""Let's just let her sleep. By the way, where's Elisse?"He hadn't seen his sister inside the house. Elisse should be in this room because she's a notorious gossip woman."She left too, and she still hasn't come back. I'll go out for a moment. If you stay here, she might look for you when she wakes up.""Alright."Rosa left, and he sat on the bed near the feet of Charlotte while watching her. How would she manage to go to school like this? She would surely feel sleepy and lazy.He stood up and went to the cabinet to get some clothes to change into. It was still too early to go home, but he needed to for Charlotte's sake.After changing clothes in the bathroom and coming out, Charlotte was still asleep. He decided to leave for a moment because he suddenl

    Elijah's POVHe entered the room and peeked at Charlotte lying on the bed. She was just sitting there, lost in thought. When she suddenly looked at him.He smiled faintly. "Are...you—""No!"He blinked at the forcefulness of her answer. It seemed like what he and Elisse did had upset her greatly. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to step forward and sit beside her, but he also hesitated because of Charlotte's angry expression."About the eggs—""What?! Are you going to tell me that the food I wanted to eat isn't delicious either? If you don't like what I want, don't even mention it to me!!"She covered her face with both hands while crying. He sighed at her reaction, then approached and sat beside Charlotte."Elisse didn't mean to say that.""I know, but it hurts me!"He looked at Charlotte, who was still crying. Her palms were soaked. Tears streamed down her face, evident by the wetness between her fingers."Wipe your tears.""I-I can't...I can't stop!" She spoke hesitantly betwee

    "Let's hang out again. It's been a while since our last one; my throat hasn't tasted alcohol in ages."He grinned. "You have money to buy expensive booze. Why don't you just drink at your 'hunted house'?""My house is just quiet; it's not a hunted house!"Kiel, the guy living in the eerily quiet house, could say that it's a hunted house. The house is huge, but only one person lives there, without even maids. Surely, Kiel must have someone living with him that they don't see inside the house. Well, his friend is brave enough."Hey, what? You're not saying anything. Let's go to Christian's house."He sighed. He wasn't ready to face him again. He didn't have the courage yet because of what he did to his sister, Charlotte."Next time, maybe.""Wow, it's a miracle you declined now. You used to be the one eager to go there.""I have a lot to do, so next time.""Fine. I just wanted to tell you a story."His great friend is acting like a girl.

    Charlotte's POV"Charlotte, are you doing?! I need to use the bathroom too!"She heard Elijah's voice from outside."Just a moment!"She looked in the mirror again to fix herself. Elijah must not have noticed the traces of tears on her cheeks. He would surely ask questions until he found out the real reason why.She smiled at the mirror before opening the door. She bowed her head as she passed Elijah, slightly brushing against his arm."Hold on."She swallowed nervously when Elijah grabbed her arm."You've been silent for a while. Are you upset because it took me a long time to buy your ice cream?"She smiled, but she also expected that this wouldn't be his question."No. I'm just really tired. Can I take a nap for a while before we eat?" She still didn't face Elijah. If she did, her tears might start to fall."Are you in pain?""No. Just tired."Elijah slowly let go of her arm. She walked to the bed and lay down. She hadn't changed her clothes yet; she would do it later when Elijah w

    Charlotte's POVElijah picked up the phone and called his secretary to bring some water to the office. Soon, she entered with a bottle of water, handed it to him, and then left."You might be thirsty. Drink this," he said to Shaira. Elijah walked over to Charlotte. He took the cup of ice cream and replaced it with a bottle of water."Don't eat this anymore. It's no longer cold and has melted. Drink some water so your throat won't hurt."She just smiled. Elijah had already left and returned to his table, where Shaira was. Earlier, while waiting for Elijah, she was surprised when someone entered. She thought it was Elijah, but it turned out to be someone else. Shaira was beautiful, and tall, and seemed to have no scars on her body. Her outfit was also very fitting. She was just really surprised because it wasn't Shaira she was expecting to arrive.She looked at the two of them again. Elijah was busy reading, as was Shaira, but what stuck in her mind was Shaira calling Elijah "my love."

"Let's go."Charlotte seemed to hesitate, glancing back and forth between the two of them."Charlotte," he called with emphasis."Uh, okay, Luis, you can tell me what you want to say tomorrow. We're in a hurry."He glanced again at Charlotte's friend, Luis. What did this guy need to tell Charlotte? Was it about the other night when he called for Charlotte to come see him?"Alright, tomorrow. You promise."Charlotte smiled and looked at him. "Let's go."She walked over to him and stood beside him. He gave Luis one last look before turning around and walking ahead."Wait! Hold on for me."He stopped and waited for Charlotte. He stared straight ahead and didn't look back."Why are you in such a hurry? You know I can't walk too fast."He looked at her face, which seemed a bit sulky. "I'm sorry."She rolled her eyes at him and started walking slowly. He followed her, and they walked together toward the parking lot.

    Charlotte's POVElijah nodded. "Okay. I'll be back before five."She smiled. "Drive safely to the office." Elijah just looked at her, smiling. She got out of the car to avoid being late for class. She waved at Elijah before turning around. She walked quickly but carefully, remembering that she was pregnant.She checked her watch. Only five minutes before they closed the classroom door. She hurried and managed to enter the classroom just in time. Most of her classmates were already there, except for their first-period teacher.She sighed with relief as she sat down, slightly out of breath from her quick walk. She glanced to her left and saw Luis staring at her. They hadn't talked since he called her for a ride the other night. She looked away as their teacher entered the room.Time check: noon...Time flew by, and her classmates started leaving for lunch. They had one hour of free time, and they needed to be back in the classroom before 1:00 PM. She hurriedly grabbed her lunchbox and h

    Charlotte's POV"Where's your master? Didn't you follow him?"Honey didn't respond, only looking up at a lizard on the ceiling. Charlotte smiled a little. She got up with Honey in her arms, carrying the cat like a baby. Elijah wasn't in the room, so she went downstairs to check if he was there. She was still sleepy as she walked down, but stopped when she saw Elijah carrying food."You're awake."She looked at what he was holding. "Are you going to eat upstairs?"He glanced at what he was holding before answering. "No. This is for you since you're awake. Just eat here." He walked back to the kitchen. She frowned.She approached and sat down. Honey jumped off and went to the cat house."Thank you."Elijah looked at her. "What time is your class today?"She paused. Did she have school today?"Don't tell me you forgot you had school today."She grimaced. Was she too happy, thinking she had no classes and forgetting it was Monday?"I forgot," she replied before taking a bite of rice.Elij

    Charlotte's POVShe smiled at Elisse and didn't respond further. Elijah was in a hurry because it was late and they needed to get to their destination to rest.After an hour's travel, they arrived at the house Elijah had mentioned. It wasn't large, just enough for two people from the outside, but she didn't know what the inside looked like since they were still outside. It might be more spacious once she saw it."Here's the key. Open the main door, I'll carry the suitcases. You go in first."She took the key and approached the door. After unlocking it, she pushed it open slowly and felt for the light switch on the side. She looked around the room. She was right, it was only meant for two people, unlike Elijah's mansion, which was spacious even with all the helpers."Do you like it?" Elijah asked as he set down the suitcases on one side. "It's smaller compared to my house where Elisse is, but we'll only stay here temporarily while you're s

    Charlotte's POVShe had been sitting in an old chair in a small room at the back of Elijah's house for a while now. It looked like a storage room filled with outdoor cleaning supplies. She had wondered why Elijah had asked her to stay there initially, but he had given her a reason. The unfamiliar car outside belonged to one of his employees, so she needed to hide.She slapped her leg as a mosquito landed on it. There were many mosquitoes outside. She stood up and peeked outside. She hadn't seen anyone approaching to tell her it was safe to come back inside. How long was Elijah's employee staying in the house?She was about to sit down again when the door suddenly opened. She turned and saw Elijah, sweat dripping down his cheek. She frowned. "Are you okay? Did you run here?"He shook his head and approached her. "Sorry, it took so long."She smiled slightly. "It's fine." He stared at her face. "What?""Pack your things. We're leav

    Elisse POVAs she goes down the stairs, she notices a woman standing in the living room. It wasn't Charlotte because she knew her figure well, and she hadn't heard the sound of a car entering the driveway, so she wondered who it could be. But when the woman turned sideways, she frowned because she knew exactly who it was.They were now facing each other, her arms crossed and one eyebrow raised."There’s no party here. Judging by your look, you seem to have just come from a bar."The woman raised her eyebrow and looked at her with disdain. "None of your business. Where’s Elijah?" Then glanced around."Elijah’s not here, and excuse me, but I do care about your business since you came here.""This is Elijah's house; I can come here anytime I want."She smirked. "Do you have permission from the owner? As far as I know, Elijah didn’t tell you about this house, so how did you find out? Did you hire an expert to locate the hous

    Venus POVShe downed the drink in her glass in one go, then slammed it back onto the table. She was at a bar to drink because she hadn’t seen Elijah for days. She also couldn’t enter his company anymore because she was apparently banned, though she didn’t know why."Take it easy on the drinking. You're not a princess waiting for a prince to take you home," said her friend Sandra."Leave me alone; I'm pissed off right now.""Why?"She poured more alcohol into her glass, drank it, and then answered her friend's question, "It's because of Elijah.""What about him?""I haven’t seen him for days. I'm banned from his company; the guards won’t let me in no matter how hard I try.""Tsk. You're being stubborn. He already told you he doesn’t want you anymore, didn’t he? When someone says no, you should stop insisting!"Her eyes flared as she swirled her glass filled with alcohol and ice."No way.
