Charlotte's POV

Elijah 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."

    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 POVAs she stepped into the backyard of her house, she could hear the noise emanating from inside the house. It appeared that her brother's friend had once again arrived. Despite being high-ranking executives of a company, they were making an excessive amount of noise. All of her brother's friends were either CEOs or wealthy individuals. Her parents were the wealthiest family in the country, and as a result, her brother had the chance to meet a lot of wealthy people, even from other countries.Upon entering the house, she saw that they were drinking alcohol once again. They were still wearing tuxedos, which indicated that maybe they had come straight here after work. They were far from her path, so she could just continue walking. Sometimes their positions in the living room were all over the place, so she couldn't avoid greeting them even if she didn't want to.She comes from school, and there are times when she gets home at seven in the evening because of the projects th

    Elijah's POVHe heard Christian's voice, but he was still dizzy from the amount of alcohol he drank last night. He didn't even know where he had slept or entered the room. His body swayed slightly when someone pulled him upright. When he opened his eyes, it was Christian with a furious look; he still hadn't recovered from standing up to him, so he couldn't figure out why."Tell me, what were you thinking when you did that to Charlotte?!"While closing his eyes, he didn't know what Christian was saying to him. "What are you saying? I'm sleeping, and then you'll wake me up and ask what I did to your sister."The answer he got from Christian was a punch in the face. His head turned, and while his hand was holding his jaw, he was stunned by Christian's sister's condition. It cries while the body is wrapped in a blanket. There, he woke up and looked at himself; he had no covering on his body down to the bottom. He was still confused and looked at Christian, whose eyes were already glazed o

    Charlotte's POVAfter one week...She was facing the mirror now, lost in thought. Today is her wedding day with Elijah. It's not a grand affair—no wedding gown, not in a church, no venue for the wedding reception, and most importantly, no guests except for their respective families.She requested that her parents not let her and Elijah get married in a church; she preferred to get married just at the judge's office and without anyone knowing that they were getting married. It's because it's unavoidable for people not to pry into why she and Elijah were getting married, and in people's minds, it's like they're making up their own story about why they're getting married, so it's better to just keep quiet. After all, the reason they're getting married is because of a mistake, but she couldn't help but cry before this day because she never thought that her brother's friend would do such a thing to her, but she couldn't do anything about it now because everything had already happened and n

    Charlotte sat at the table, leaving two seats between her and the guests. Being the only one on her side, she indulged freely in the food she took, while Elijah sat next to her."Eat properly, Charlotte."She paused, glancing at her plate. Everything was neatly arranged, but she had a small appetite and wasn't particularly hungry."I'm eating fine, Elijah."He pointed to a drop of sauce on the tablecloth. "Is that fine? No, Charlotte. If you're going to eat, do it properly."Raising an eyebrow, she looked at the small stain on the fabric. His attention to detail was impressive; despite her plate being covered, he still noticed.She pulled her plate closer, ensuring no food fell, and continued eating."We both agreed that no one would know we're married, right?" She nodded, still chewing. "That night was before our wedding."She stopped eating. "This is the first time we've talked alone. I'm sorry for that night, Charlotte. I don't know what came over me."She could never forget what h

He looked over at Charlotte, who was staring blankly at his abdomen."What are you doing, and why are you moving around so much?" he asked.Charlotte held up the money she was trying to count."I told you to focus on that later. Why are you so restless?""I have nothing else to do, so I started counting the money, and I've finished eating.""Aren't you ashamed of what you're doing? You look like you're counting money."Charlotte stopped what she was doing and turned to face him, wearing a serious expression on her face. "I'm starting this now because I have classes tomorrow," she explained."But you had time the other day," he pointed out."I have somewhere to go that day," Charlotte replied.He raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?""Just to see a friend," Charlotte reassured him."Are you sure?" he asked skeptically."Yes," Charlotte replied, ignoring his doubts and continuing to separate th

He glanced at the clock, which was already eleven at night, but he didn't hear anyone trying to open the door. He put down the papers he was holding, as well as his eyeglasses, and stepped out of the room. It was obvious to him that his household staff were already asleep in the house, and the downstairs appeared clean when he peeked.He went to the adjacent room, slowly opening it and peeking inside, but Charlotte wasn't there, nor was she in the third room.Where could she have gone again?He descended the stairs and checked the entire house, but Charlotte was nowhere to be found. He was about to go to the servants' quarters to see if she was there, but he refrained, not wanting to disturb them. Now he stood in the middle of the living room, contemplating, but when his gaze drifted to the row of car keys, one was missing.He approached and looked at the keys. Would Charlotte be capable of d

    Charlotte's POVShe stayed in Elijah's room after he left. She had a terrifying dream where Elijah's actions replayed in her room. It felt like she was back in her room while Elijah was doing something. She was even more scared when she woke up in the position he had left her in earlier while trying to wake her up. Perhaps it was because she was lying next to Elijah and she didn't realize that he had already carried her into the house and placed her inside the car. She glanced at the clock, it was already six in the morning.She stood up and looked at what she was wearing. She hadn't changed clothes, so she wondered why she was still lying in Elijah's bed, especially since he didn't like dirt or changing clothes.Surely, the bedsheet, blanket, and pillowcases would be changed later.She went to the bathroom to look for an unused toothbrush. She opened the cabinet above and found one. She took it out of the plastic wrapping brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she went out with

"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

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

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

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

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.
