Charlotte’s POVI smiled like a crazy woman when I left him in the Villa by stealing his car again and now he needs Ricardo to come and pick him up. I blew out my cheeks, and said, “Oh, Damn, that was easy!” I couldn’t handle my joy when I arrived at home, and Casey was still awake, and she was having an argument with Cedric. “Don’t touch me! what are you doing?!” Casey tried to protest a lot, pushing Cedric away from her, "No, whatever you are saying, I'm staying here! This is my home now, Cedric. You can't make me go away!" Then Cedric said, "You are coming with me, Casey…." Then he grabbed Casey's arm and hauled the pitifully outside, where they were both taken aback to see me. Casey looked a little uneasy and her eyes got really big as she asked, "How long have you been there?! Do you think you can get away with eavesdropping? That's not okay to listen to when—" "Casey, my husband owns this mansion, and I'm the legal wife and I don't have to cover my ears when I hear disturb
Charlotte’s POVAfter not seeing Logan for three days, I began to suspect that he felt so horrible that he couldn't bear to look me in the eyes. I sat on the balcony and looked at Casey as she played with some workers while carrying her happy son to the playground. The baby is already walking and talking a little, like calling her mom "momma." I guess babies are amazing, and I sighed sadly that maybe I can't have one.Then I remembered about the flash drive, and how the hell could Luca have that, maybe? Maybe Luca has the flash drive, and I can take it from him. I changed into some plain pants and a black T-shirt and walked back to my room. Then, I went to Logan's room to get the car key. I got in my car and drove to the Collins mansion, where I saw Luzia and her Spanish friends splashing around in the enormous pool. When my gaze landed on her, I rolled my eyes, and she smiled and came toward me, asking, "Oh, what the fuck are you doing here, my dear stepdaughter?"I exhaled softly,
Charlotte’s POV"Who else has it if not you?" I asked with some doubt, and all I could think in my mind was, "Who took it from me? What does he have to do with me?" I shook my head and rubbed my chin doubtlessly as I dropped my mouth. Luca then said, "If you don't have any more questions, you may leave now." I bit my lower lip, and when he was about to go back inside the Villa, I grabbed his hand and asked, “Let’s talk.” His eyes landed on my hand that was gripping his hand, and I let go of it with an awkward expression. He asked calmly, “What do you want to talk about, Charlotte?” "I'd like to know why you changed?" I remember that you used to really like me and treat me like your sister. But now you've changed and don't care about me at all. What the heck happened to you, Luca?”He plastered a smile on his lips, and put his hand on his pocket while smiling at me, “Well, if you believe everything you saw, you’re a fool, Charlotte. That was all a lie.” "What do you mean it was al
Charlotte’s POVYesterday, I bought a new safe house and just got there now. I put all the money my grandmother gave me in a secure box that only I could open. Then Liam came over and looked at all the guns I had bought very carefully. He asked, "Are you....Do you really want to do this, Charlotte? You want to be one of the mafia bosses?" I nod my head, "Yes, you want a connection, right? Do you want justice and be the best investigator in your team? Then all you need is me. I can take all the information to you, and together, we will all bring them down secretly." “But I’m worried about your safety….” “Do you have any news about how the killer knows where Arman is?”He leaned at the kitchen sink, and said, “I’m trying to gather some information yet, and yet the case hasn't been solved. I felt like a useless brother….” "No, you're not," I told him by tapping him on the shoulder. "You're trying your best, or you need to be extra careful if someone is trying to ruin our plan. These
Logan’s POV“Where the fuck is she is right now? I’ve been trying to call her phone, and everything but still I haven’t got a clue where she is.” I said through clenched teeth. Charlotte must be up to something crazy and stupid again, I couldn't help but think. I don't know how to keep this stubborn woman from hurting herself. During the whole thing, I look at the screen and think about where my wife is. Until one of my guards outside called to tell me that the woman I'd been thinking about all along had arrived. While I sighed, I went outside and saw her walking. She had her eyes on her phone, looking through something. After that, I walked over to her and took her phone without saying a word. "What are you doing, Logan?!" she asked me with wide eyes. "Hello, wife! "I've been calling for you for hours and hours, but you haven't even picked up". I said it in a cool voice and looked through her phone. I couldn't find my call logs or contacts. "Did you just block me?!" I glared at he
Charlotte’s POVIt's been an hour, and we've been fighting like cats and dogs in here, and I can feel the sweat dripping down my temple. Everything in the room and on all the tables has already been broken, but none of us is giving up on the game. Whenever he smiled at me, I put on a fake smile, raised my arms, and showed him my bloody fists. He said, "I guess Liam taught you a lot of karate moves and how to fight. Isn't he a great teacher?" "Well, hell yeah!" I replied. "He's a great teacher..." That's when the curtain flew in my face. When I tried to grab it, Logan moved right in front of me and grabbed me. We both fell onto the bed, and I had my legs around his waist while he was on top of me. Then he whispered, “Well, I’m a great fucker too.” then he tore my dress, and said, “Enough with the fight, Charlotte. I’m not stopping you anymore for the fight tomorrow night, just give me what I want right now….” I whispered back in his ear, “Then what do you want, Logan?” "I want you
Charlotte’s POVAfter our wet sex, I woke up feeling tired, and Logan was hugging me like a precious stone. I couldn't move. I reached for his arm and started to pull away, but he grabbed hold of me and held me close, asking, "Where are you going?" "Go back to sleep." Afterward, he shut his eyes once more, and I got up, put on my dress, and gathered my things from the side table. Before I left the Villa that night, I planted a kiss on his forehead. I headed for the garage, worried that he'd be able to watch my movements if I used the car he'd undoubtedly installed a tracker in so I stepped back, and used the backyard for an escape so that no one would see me living tonight.I was walking in the street, trying to contact Liam. Luckily, he answered my call, and I said, "Please, come and get me; I don't have a car. I don't use the car in the Villa because I know Logan has already put a tracker on in any car in the Villa." Liam replied, "So, where are you right now? Can you go to the mi
Charlotte’s POVFinally, I've made it into the building where the High Table meets, and the other members of the High Table have arrived just in time. Now, they're making their way up to the roof of the building with the highest point so they can witness the fight between Luca and me. I look at myself in the mirror as I put a black band around my knuckles. I look at the scar on my body from the two bullets that almost killed me a year ago. I got angry, and I couldn't calm down while looking in the mirror. I finally broke the mirror with a punch, which made my bloody knuckles bleed again. “What’s happening here—” A strange woman asked. I glanced at her, and she didn’t dare to ask anymore. I cleaned my wounds with hot water, and she said, “So your name is Charlotte, right?” I nod my head. “We’ve been talking about you….a lot.” she said. I asked, “Why?” "Because you are too brave to ask for a match like this," she answered. "You don't want to be hurt as a woman, but here you are
