Charlotte’s POV

Since 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?

    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

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

So, you should go find another place to live that you can afford, you slut!" “Hey, can you please slow down, and don't throw away my things?!” He pointed to himself, “Mr. Gallagher treats me like an animal! so you deserved it—” “Well, you deserved it!” I said while picking up all of my things, and pants when I got up and glared at him with hate in my eyes. Ralph laugh out loud, “Fuck yourself, bitch! I don’t want to see your fucking face again!” I laughed at him, “Well, look at you! Do you want me to call Logan to end your life?” He stepped back angrily, and with a scared expression as he lowered down his gaze, “Fuck you, Charlotte!” I just smiled at him and took all my things with a

He showed off his beautiful white teeth and raked his hand through his hair as he thought about where he had kept my necklace. I was shivering in front of him, and he looked at me from head to toe, rubbed his chin, and said, "I think you should rest first. I'll see you tomorrow. I still have to figure out where I put your necklace. I can't remember where I put it.""W-what?" I asked with wide eyes. He held out his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll find it. Don't fret..." I smiled at him, and he opened the door for me, “Good night,” I stepped inside, and felt better, then I turned my head to glance at him. “Thank you, Cedric….” He happily smiled at me, “Don’t worry, I got you.” Then I nodded my head and shut the door with a sigh of relief, because he was a real hero to me this time.

"Sir, someone is looking for Miss Charlotte." Logan's ears perked up and he asked, "What the hell!" But he already knew who it was. He got out of the car, and as he looked at the man in front of his car, I could hear him take a deep, angry breath. I stepped out of the car, and I swallowed my breath as my eyes landed on Cedric. He was with five police officers by his side, and he gazed at Logan and told him. "Let her go, and I'll let you go this time." It was not a request, it was a demand.Logan smiled at him as if he didn't care about the cops or Cedric's threatening look. "Have you forgotten who I am?!" Cedric said, "Yes, that's right. I didn't.

She laughed at me and said, "Uh, I love putting Chris Evans pictures in my old room. I even told my brothers that he was my boyfriend." It turned her face red as she tried to explain it to me, and I could see the little girl talking about her crush right before me. "I like Captain America..." I nodded my head and said, “I thought you met someone like me…” She gazed at me, “Well, you are more handsome than him. I like you more….” Those words made me hold my breath. I wasn't ready to hear that yet, but she grabbed my arm, and I leaned forward to look her in the eyes. "I thought I was going to die," she said with a smile. Then she paused and said, "But if I really am going to die, I have to tell you how much I like you before it's too late."

I hold my breath every time the operating room door opens. Then, all of a sudden, a doctor walks up to me and says, "We did everything we could, but she didn't make it. I am sorry." My heart sank when I realized the woman who had brought so much joy into my life had already passed away! Jeric gave me a sighing look and said, "I'm sorry for your loss." Then I closed my eyes and asked the doctor, "Are you sure about that?!" "I'm sorry, your mother didn't make it—" he looked at me. I smacked him in the face and told him, "You're fu*king wrong! How could you say that?" "I'm the son, not him!" the man yelled at the Doctor.

The enemy will use it against Santiago because it could cause a lot of trouble. Everything and everyone around him wants him to die or fail. It's hard for me to think that there are people in this world who exist solely to do something bad just to get what they want!Then I heard two vans pulling up to the Villa. One of them parked outside the gate, and the other van went inside. The driver got out to look for me. I ran to them immediately and said, "What's happening?" The man thoroughly examined me before saying, "Alright, Miss Beatrice, you must go outside." "Why? What's going on?" "The hidden camera you saw in the kitchen wasn't just a hidden camera; they wired a bomb to it!" the man said as he dragged me out the door. Then he looked around and looked for some people inside and I immediately remembere

    Beatrice’s POVUp until he tripped and fell onto the bed next to me, he was lying on top of me, and my hands were resting on his chest. The way we looked at each other made it seem like he was trying to diagnose my problems, but I was perfectly OK. I pushed him away, and he rolled over next to me. He sighed deeply and stared blankly at the ceiling. "I think you need to rest in your own bed instead of mine," I told him. When he heard that, he got up and left without speaking with me. I sighed as I thought about what was wrong with him again! I got up early the following day and tried to decide what I would do today. "Good morning, ma'am," the kitchen maid greeted me. "Morning." "Sir Santiago has prepared breakfast for you, and it has been placed in the microwave; all you need to do is heat it up." She smiled at me.I nodded in agreement, wondering why he needed to treat me this way. This is something I can do myself. But the maid said, "Ma'am Bea, he told me he won't be home ton

From now on, I have no other option except to continue working for him until the contract is finished. "How could I marry such a cruel man? Mafias are bad, that's true. They break the law and do bad things because they want power as well as wealth. Indeed, I am right." I sucked in my breath because I thought I was so stupid for talking to myself about this!While my mind was racing with thoughts, I walked down the hall and saw that his guards were waiting for me outside. They opened the van door for me and then slid it shut. Santiago's driver got into the car and drove off. Santiago was still silent as I looked across at him. Something must be done because I don't know what to say to him. It made me feel like I was crossing a thin line to be with him.

Then I glared at him angrily and said, “Well, that wasn’t funny.” "Beatrice, I like you as a friend and a good secretary and also as a good pretending wife and nothing more," Santiago remarked. It makes my heart skip a beat. Does he always have to hurt me by being honest with me?After that, I gathered my arms over my chest, raised my eyes to meet his, and said, "Yes, of course." I then returned to my room to grab a dress from the wardrobe to prepare for our evening supper. After settling on a white dress that seemed both understated and sophisticated, I accessorized with black heels and a matching white handbag. Afterward, I applied a touch of blush to my cheeks and a swipe of red lipstick. Upon opening the door, I found him waiting outside, asking, "Are you ready?" “I’m more than ready, Santiago.” He smiled at me, “I like that attitude of yours.” I answered sarcastically, “Oh, me too!” Then h

I like him so much that I have to agree to his proposal! In the presence of an overwhelming number of strangers, I clutch the flower firmly in my fingers and fix my gaze on him. He smiled back at me after I smiled at him. "You may now kiss the bride," the priest said. He slowly lifted the veil above my head, and as he looked me in the eyes, he smiled broadly. Next, he lowered his head to plant a kiss on my lips, completely silent. When his lips touched mine, I closed my eyes and stood on my toes as he kissed me deeper. Following that, there was a resounding applause and enthusiastic cheers. As Santiago led me down the aisle, I saw my two younger brothers in the crowd. They looked so proud of me that I

This time, I couldn't believe that my boss was going to ask me to marry him, and he's not even my boyfriend! What the hell is going on?

Despite their friendly demeanor, they all plotted my downfall. I looked at the clock and saw it was three o'clock in the morning. What the heck? I have not yet gone to sleep. I got up, stretched my arms, and let out a soft yawn. I went down the quiet hallway and opened the door to Beatrice's room. She was already asleep. She was sound asleep in my bed, and her face looked like the face of an angel. When I thought about how I kissed her lips the other day, it made me smile softly. That made me feel a little happy, and I forgot how different my world was from hers. I closed the door and went to the couch to close my eyes for a bit. Then, out of nowhere, I awoke with another headache, and a girl was standing before my eyes. She sported a pair of shorts and a white blouse.She smiled and gave me the medicine and a glass of water.
