Charlotte’s POV

I looked around and said, "And this isn't my apartment..."

I took a deep breath and said with a sour smile, "Oh, I don't have a place to live anymore...but whose apartment is this?

I was startled in nervousness when someone knocked on the door. I start to move slowly backward while holding my breath and looking for a way out. Damn, it could be the mob boss who kidnapped me, but why is he wasting his time just to have me with him?

Kira smiled at me, “Miss Charlotte—” I glanced at the secretary and sighed, “Miss Kira, I’m fine, you don’t need to accompany me inside, I’m not a child.” She nodded her head and smiled at me, then she said, “Okay, we will be waiting for you here.” I go to the women's room and think about what I need to do. I have to stay away from this man from now on, and I don't want to stay with him and be his "things" and a toy that he can play with whenever he's bored. I won't put myself in that kind of position ever again. I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror for a while. Then I decided to open the toilet door and saw a bag inside.

Ellie had gotten me a VIP ticket so that I could relax throughout the trip, and the thought of that made me grin with relief.I closed my eyes and slept for a while. Maybe when I open my eyes, things may get better. Lots occurred these past three days, and I would never put myself in that position again.

He motioned everyone to leave us alone. Then he glanced at me and lifted my chin. “Don’t try to make me mad, Charlotte. Do your best to make me happy, okay?” I yanked off his hand and asked, "Otherwise, what? You'll kill me?"He laughed and said, "No, dear. You didn't see your father yet, so killing you was nonsense. He must see his daughter get married to his enemy." My eyes started to well up with tears as I continued to glare angrily at him. Still, I know I can't direct all of my rage toward him because, in his eyes, it was nothing at all. I mumbled while clenching my teeth. "How a

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.

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."
