Charlotte’s POVI cleaned the table as I watched Logan scroll through his phone. He was reading something and had a strange look on his face. He then put his laptop on the table and looked at me. He stopped what he was doing and clicked his tongue softly. "Why don't you just do your own thing and stop staring at me all the time?" He was acting like a man who had just had his period, throwing fits every time I looked at him, so I answered him. "I wasn't staring at you the whole time, Mister Tantrums." He sighed without looking at me, opened his laptop again, and said, "Lie."He closed his laptop again, and realized something, “Wait, What did you just say?” “Nothing….” He stood up, “You called me something weird name….in your last sentence, repeat it again.” “I said, nothing!” I finished what I was doing, and I sat on the couch while leaning my head on the arm rest. "I want to sleep now. This place is getting boring." I rolled my eyes and went to his room to get some pillows and a
Charlotte’s POVToday was Sunday, and the coffee shop was closed for the day and for customers but for staff only. "Uhm, please let me in. Casey is my friend, and I promise I'm not a bad person. I just want to talk to her." So the new waiter and waitress lined up for their meeting conference for today, and the new waiter blocked my way because he thought I was a customer who wanted to ask for coffee or a Karen who only wanted to fight. The young waiter said, “I’m sorry, Miss—” Then a familiar voice interrupted the waiter, and said, “It’s okay just let her in.” It was Casey’s mom, she was wearing a fierce look on her face, and I bet she was not happy to see me today and even stepped foot in her daughter’s fancy coffee shop. She rolled up her white long sleeves, and put her hair behind her earlobe and asked, “What are you doing here, Charlotte?” “I’m here for Casey.” She said in a threatening voice but calmly held my hand tightly that she wanted to pinch me, "Well, let me tell y
Charlotte’s POVSince he already locked the front door, I had no choice but to run upstairs and look for a way out. Fear and terror were making my heart race at the same time. I shut the door and pushed the bed into it so Miguel couldn't open it quickly. I opened the window and looked down. I've always wanted to jump out of this window, but I was afraid of heights and never had the courage to do it.Miguel kept kicking the door over and over, and I could hear his old, raspy voice say, "Open the door, Charlotte. This is going to be painless! You won't feel anything...." I'm not so naive that I'd let a drunken, raving madman inside this room. I chewed my lower lip nervously, trying to hide that I was afraid and thinking that the only way to get away from him was to run away and fight back."Run…." I heaved a breath and opened the window again, and I was already on the verge of jumping when the door opened, and Miguel was holding a long knife. He smirked at me and said, "I know you're a
Charlotte’s POV “Hey….” I groaned in pain as I tried to move my leg, and he glanced at me with an annoying face, “What do you want, Charlotte?” "Why don't you help me get up? Why can't I move my feet normally?" He clicked his tongue to show that he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Because you are such a stubborn woman who jumped without thinking!" "If I hadn't jumped, he would have killed me already!" I said with tightened teeth and continued nagging, "I'm not here with you right now, and you can't use me to get back at my biological Dad!" Logan put my hand on his neck to his shoulder, then he carried me so easily, and he asked, “Where do you want to go?” I took a deep breath as I said, “I want to pee. I need to pee, Logan. I'm a human too." His eyebrow raised as he asked, “So do you want me to go with you inside? watching you peeing?” I shook my head, “No, that's not what I mean, I just want you to stay outside of the door—” “What do you think of me? Am I your bo
Charlotte’s POVI heard all of Logan's men talking about Logan outside the hallway. When I opened the door, they saw me, their eyes widened, and they shut their mouths. I walked slowly with crutches past the hallway with my head down because I didn't want to see their eyes and their dangerous looks at me. I felt strange on my way to the kitchen, and this place was also odd to me. I've never been here before, but it looked like Logan and his team's base of operations. When Ricardo, Evan, and Tobias walked in, I was preparing to make tea. They looked at me from head to toe. Ricardo got himself a drink without looking at me, while Tobias smiled at me, put himself behind me with a soft laugh, and smelled my neck while saying, "Hey, princess, I haven't seen you in a long time. How've you been?" Evan snorted, “Tobias, leave her alone. She’ll report you to the boss.” Tobias laughed out loud, “No one would know if each one of you will not tell him.” Ricardo shook his head in disagreement
Charlotte’s POV“Do you really think I should forgive and forget everything that your father did to my family, Charlotte?” I slowly turned my head to look at him. When his hot breath touched the back of my neck, I felt the fear and the want to run away from him. He whispered, "You need to run…. and you better make sure I never find you again." My lips slowly parted in a gasp, and before he could say something more, I finally grabbed my baggage and walked away from him. I could hear his footsteps behind me, and while my Uber car was waiting outside, I was panting in dread. Logan said calmly, “Wait—you forgot something.” I bit my lower lip as I stopped walking, I could hear my heart beating as I stepped back and glanced back at him. “W–what?” He put his hand in his pocket and pulled me closer to him. I dropped my bag when he cupped my face and kissed my lips. I was shocked, and it felt like the world was stopping slowly as he intensified the kiss and opened my mouth with his hot, s
Charlotte’s POV"Don't come near me, you asshole!" Even though I was tired from work, I pushed him away with everything I had. I even kicked his balls to get away from him. I opened the door with a racing heart and a lot of nerves to pull open the door. I thought I was getting away from him, but he grabbed my neck, put his hand over my mouth, and tried his best to drag me inside."Shhh… it's okay, I'm not hurting you." He said this as he smelled my hair and neck. He also grabbed my waist tightly. Then he slowly turned around and used his feet to close the door. He locked it so no one would try to open it. He let go of me and struck me, I fell on the floor helplessly, and blood dripped on the floor, and it was my lower lip.“You can talk to me if you have a financial problem, Charlotte. I’m open ears, and I could even help you, and give you a one month discount if you could let me fuck you today.” He took off his shirt, and his pants. He sniffed his armpit and smiled at me, “Oh, don’t
Charlotte’s POV"Hi, Miss Charlotte!" The young doctor opened the door, looked at my record, and said, "Yes, you can go home today. Don't worry about the bill; someone has already paid for it for you." I stood up, and picked my leather jacket in the corner. “Thank you, Doc.” He gave me a calling card, and said, “If you need help, you may call me through this business number.” I sighed as I took the card and put it in my bag. I read it slowly, gave him back the card, and told him, "Doctor Allan, I don't need to see a psychiatrist. Thank you for being considerate." "Well, you've been through a lot, and you were almost raped twice, so maybe you need it." "How did you know that?" I asked him with a frown. He quietly answered. "The man who paid your hospital bill wants you to go through therapy. I know what happened to you was very traumatic, you need to talk to a counseling---"“I can heal alone. I don’t need counseling. Thanks for the offer, but I really need to go.” I left the roo
