Charlotte’s POV“Are you serious about this, Charlotte?” Casey asked under her breath while she’s breathing heavily, thinking about the DNA test result I’ve got. I raised my hand and nodded, “Yes! Do you think I don’t know about Zack’s father?” She stepped back.“That’s why you cared a lot Cedric because you still want him. But because Logan has more wealth and connections, you prefer Logan so that your family will crawl back into high status again.” I smiled at her.She laughed, and tried to change the topic. “Don’t forget that you used my grandma’s money for your madness! Where did you take her one hundred million dollars?” I laughed and replied, "It's mine now, so don't worry about it." "Anyways, your mom was an adopted daughter, so you are not really my grandmother's granddaughter," I continued with a sneer. Her eyes flared with anger that she wants to hurt me right now. “Oh my god…” she put her hand on her mouth. There's nothing more I want to say to you, but I guess you nee
Charlotte’s POV“And what do you want from me, Charlotte? I heard you loud and clear that you don’t want me to be part of this company anymore!”I pushed him inside the empty room, and closed the door, and his brow arched, “What are you doing here?” “Let me ask you a question, it’s only a fast question and I won’t ask you again.” I said as I put my hands on my hips. He stepped back slowly with a confusion written on his face, and he shrugged off, “Yes, what kind of question is that?” “Are you involved?” “Involved?!” he asked angrily. “Are you accusing me of something I didn't do?” “I’m not accusing you yet, Luca. But you look offended.” Then I opened the door, and left him inside the empty office. He chased me outside, and called my name, “Charlotte….” I stopped. “What?” "I want to clear up some things about me that you got wrong," he said. I furrowed my brows and asked, "What?" "You're accusing me of things I don't know..." I pursed my lips to make him think I didn't unders
Charlotte’s POVFive men, all dressed in black, with dark hair, the appearance of authority, and evil grins, entered the corridor. As the lone female participant in the meeting, I felt their eyes on me as I sat awkwardly in the corner. When Lisa arrived, she bowed her head to everyone. She sits next to me and nods her head at me as a greeting. Logan touched my thigh under the table, and he glanced at me just to make me feel calm, and not anxious at the same time. Lisa on the other side of me, glanced at me, and sighed. Then the door opened, three more men arrived, and they sat on the opposite side of us. So there were three men with blonde hair, and five men with dark hair, and the only one with chocolate hair was Logan. We were all eleven members of the high table, and suddenly, the Mafia King arrived. I hold my breath, trying to calm myself. He was wearing a black mask. And all of us stood up to greet him. We bowed our heads, and he raised his hand to suggest we sit down.
Charlotte’s POVI held my breath as I walked inside the cozy dark office of Elliot Senior. He glanced at me while he was talking to Logan, and all I could say was that it’s making me feel nervous and being anxious at the same time. Sweat running down on my earlobe and down to the back of my neck. He put his whiskey on the table, and the old man smiled at me. “Hi, Charlotte. The daughter of the most ferocious one.” He smiled at me. I nod my head at him, and gaze at Logan who was silent the whole time. “What’s happening here?” I asked softly. “You are the one I’ve assigned to my son’s office. I want you to be very vigilant about everything. I want this to be your new mission, and your new work.” I asked, “So, you want me to catch the killer too?” He smiled at me, “Of course, women can have something in them that men don't have.” “Are you sure about this, Sir?” He sipped his last drop of whiskey, “Of course, I’m sure about this! So you gotta take the mission whether you like it
Charlotte’s POV When we got home late at night, I could hear Casey's baby crying and yelling. Hearing her son cry made me feel uncomfortable, so I went into her room. The baby was crying so hard in his crib that his tears were already running down his face. I got the baby out of the crib and hugged it. "Hey, Baby Zack, why are you crying so much? Where's mommy?" Suddenly, I stopped walking as I spotted Casey on the floor, unconscious and she looked like she passed out. I walked outside and called Logan. “Logan! Logan!” Logan ran outside of the room, and asked, “What’s happening?” “I found Casey on the floor, she was unconscious!” I hugged the baby in my arms, and Logan went inside, and carried Casey out of the room, and put her in the backseat. The maid outside was also in panic, and I gave the baby to them, “Please, take care of the baby.” “Yes, Ma’am!” Then we took Casey to the nearest hospital, and as we arrived there, the doctor immediately checked her. I sighed
Charlotte’s POVBefore Logan could tell me something about his parents, Liam Arrived with his team, and he warned me to put my gun down. He said to his team, “It’s okay, I got her.” Logan said, “Charlotte…” I shook my head, “Don’t.” Liam let me cry it out in the back of his police car, and he understandably feels concerned about me. And he didn't say anything. He just led me into his house, where Nicole and Angel were waiting. Nicole woke up, and opened the gate for us, then she closed it again. At this point, I was still crying, and I felt helpless to stop. "What's wrong with her? Why is she crying so much?" Nicole asked. Then walked towards her husband, "Is she all right?" "It looks like she's not okay. What I witnessed was her pointing a revolver at Logan and Cedric while tears streamed down her face."Nicole sighed and said, "Charlotte, join us inside. Let us talk about it." Nicole used to be very jealous, but she's changed a lot since she learned about what's going on in
Charlotte’s POV“I don’t want to stop the car, Charlotte! I need you to listen to me!” Logan said angrily, and his eyebrow arched in sharpness while staring at me. “Fuck! Focus your eyes on the road! Logan!” I yelled at him.Then he went back to his eyes on the road with a pursed of his lips. “I need you to listen to my explanation of why I have to hide it from you.” I gulped, “Then why do you really need to hide it from me? If they are not involved in the death of my mother, then why do you always lie to me?!” “I have to lie to you to PROTECT THEM!” he raised his deep husky voice at me. "What the fuck? Do you really think I'm that bad that I can kill them for no reason?! Are you sure I don't want them to live too? As long as you are my husband, I will never hurt anyone close to your heart unless I have to!" He pulled over the car on the side of the road, and he took a deep breath as he looked at me. “Do you really want to see them?” “Do you want me to see them?” He nodded his
Charlotte’s POVLogan held my hand as we walked, and our eyes were filled with deep desire. I stared at him helplessly, happy that he no longer had anything to hide from me. We intertwined our fingers and smiled at each other as we walked down the hall. Then as we stepped inside, the lights turned on, and I held my breath as I saw the mafia king sitting on the couch with his men. They turned their heads to me, and he smirked, “Where have you been, sweet couple?”I gently turned my head to look at Logan while holding his sleeve tight. Damn, the Devil is here and gazes upon us. He straightened up and said, "I didn't know that you have such a big family, Logan." He continued, "Well, I saw the baby boy earlier." My heart began to race. I hope this evil man didn't touch the baby."Yes, but may I ask what you are doing here?" Logan asked with a nod. "So, I really need to know what happened with the mission I gave your wife the last time." I gasped and said, "Uh, I don't know anything
