I hate the fact that I love him now and I think I really need to stop myself from this madness called love. I thought and sighed softly.
Days went by but still Carter and his mother kept frustrating me, and now that I had no one else to talk to because Mr James was dead.
Somehow I felt so alone, and I really wish Mr James was still alive, so I could tell him every single pain I was feeling, but that is not possible because he is dead and done, so I can never see him ever again.
I sighed softly as I thought of calling my dad. I grabbed my cell phone from the nightstand drawer, and was about dialling his contact when I remembered what he had told me the last time.
I quickly dropped my phone back, and relaxed back on the bed.
It was actually noon, and I'm the only one home. Carter has gone over to his office, while his mother has returned back to her husband's mansion, so there was no one bothering me.
But I'm just feeling so lonely that I felt I needed to talk to someone so urgently. But there is no one I can possibly think of talking to, so I have to do something to entertain myself.
I stood up, as I thought of going out for a walk, but I needed to get dressed in a more suitable dress that I could go out with.
I immediately walked over to the closet, but immediately I flipped it open and some guns fell from it.
I stared at them and shook my head. This isn't the first time seeing guns in the house, so it wasn't really new to me, besides I was married to a Mafia boss so it was expected.
I quickly took out my dress and arranged the guns back to the closet before shutting it back.
I got dressed immediately, and went out of the room.
CARTER POV
I was in my office doing some work, when my cell phone started ringing. I just ignored it,as I continued with what I was doing.
The phone kept ringing, and I had to pick the phone. "Who is this, and why are you calling me at a working hour." I half yelled.
"It's me , Carter." I heard the sweet voice I have been aching to hear for a long time now.
"Charlotte." I called.
"Yes it's me, where are you? and are you that busy?" She asked me, and I went quiet immediately.
Did Charlotte really call me just now, or was I dreaming? I asked myself.
"Hello Carter, are you still there?" She asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, I'm here, I'm at the office, and I'm not that busy." I answered her.
"Ok then can we meet like right now?" She asked.
"Sure, where do you want me to meet you up?" I asked her.
"At a five star restaurant, our usual restaurant." She said,
"Ok, I will be there in ten minutes." I said, and she ended the call.
This is unbelievable, Charlotte is back into the country, I really can't believe it. I thought, and quickly stood up, as I started arranging my table.
I grabbed my headline and called my secretary. There are some files I needed her to attend to, so I really need her to see them, before I leave.
She walked into the office a few minutes later, and I immediately showed her the files before walking out of the office.
I got into my car immediately and drove off to the restaurant.
I was welcomed by two huge men on a black suits, and I just went into the restaurant fully, and started searching around for her.
"Sir, are you looking for Miss Charlotte?" A lady, dressed in a waitress uniform, asked me.
"Yes, where is she?" I asked.
"She is this way, please come with me." She requested, and I sighed softly as I just followed behind her.
We finally arrived at the VIP section, and there I saw Charlotte all dressed in a gorgeous silver dress.
She turned around and saw me, and quickly smiled at me. I felt my heart melt, as I walked closer to her.
I really don't know why I love this girl so much, that I really can't resist her smile, I thought as I finally sat down on the opposite chair.
She called the waitress again and asked her to bring the menu to me. We both ate and talked about how our lives has been all these years.
I told her how much I miss her, and she also said the same. We talked until it was dark, and she offered to buy me a drink. I tried to decline, but she insisted,so I had to let her do it.
The drink was brought within a few minutes, and we both started drinking it immediately.
After about an hour, I told her I was going back home now, though I was feeling tipsy, and I needed to rest.
She helped me to my car, and my guard who was there already waiting for me, helped me into the car, but after a while I saw him walk over to Charlotte, and they both talked for a while before he went back into the car to start it and drove away.
MACEY POV
I was in the dining room waiting patiently for Carter to return. I have made his dinner already,all by myself, and I have been waiting for him to come back but until now, there was no sign of him anywhere.
I wonder where he had been all this while, because I know he doesn't really stay out too late like this, but this was so much unlike him.
"Maybe he had a business to attend to, besides he is a Mafia, just like his father." My subconscious mind said, and I just sighed softly
But I really didn't feel like leaving the dining room anytime soon, so I just remained seated there.
After a while, I heard the sound of his car, and I quickly moved closer to the window, and peeped through.
I saw his most trusted guard helping him out of the car, and I quickly rushed over to the door. The man handed him over to me, and I took him upstairs to our room.
Immediately I laid him down on the bed and turned to leave, he grabbed my hand. "Please don't leave, I love you so much, and I miss you." He said, and I gasped.
Did I just hear him saying he loves and misses me? I asked myself, and turned over to him fully.
"Come to me baby." He said, and I slowly moved closer to him.
He pulled me and I lost my balance and fell on his body. Immediately my heart flattered, and I didn't know what more to do at this point.
He took my lips into his surprise, and suddenly I felt so good about it, as he slowly caressed my body with his hand.
I felt sweetness all over me, and all I just wanted was for him to continue, because his fingers were doing wonders in my body already.
"Do you like me?" He asked, and I froze.
"Why am I even asking you that, I know you love me, and I love you too." He said, and I just smiled,as he pushed himself closer to me, and kissed me even deeper.
He slowly took off my clothes and that left me in just my panties and bra, and he also took them off too.
"You are so beautiful." He said to me and I immediately felt so good about it.
He ripped off his clothes in a hurry, and Carried me into the bed fully, and spread my thighs while I just watched him.
He soon went into me fully with his hug sizes, as I screamed my lungs out.
This was really the best thing that has happened to me since I have been married to him for the past two years.
So all this while he had been in love with me, but he just didn't show it, not even for once. But nevertheless it doesn't really matter, because all I know is that he loves me, and that's all I care about.
I guess from now onwards our relationship will be so good, and I will definitely enjoy my marriage. Honestly I love him so much and I have been waiting for the day he would tell me he loves me, but I guess today was the day.
I thought and quickly turned over to him, as I put my mind into the sex we were having.
After a while he finally came all into me, and I felt every single bit of it before he finally pulled out, and kissed me on my forehead. And we both relax back tiredly on the bed. Sleep took us off immediately.
Soon it was morning, and my eyes flipped open as I felt his hand wrapped around me. I actually wanted to stand up, but decided not to, as I enjoyed the warmness of his arms.
"I love you so much Charlotte," he said, from the other side of the bed besides me.
"Charlotte?" The name rang in my head, and immediately I got angry.
So all this while we were having sex, he didn't see me as me but rather he saw Charlotte. I thought, and immediately I felt so hurt beyond comparison.
How can I be so foolish to think that he would ever love me. I told myself, and I slowly started moving away from him, and just then he opened his eyes, and glanced at me.
"What did you do?" He yelled, and I tried to tell him I didn't do anything, but he kept yelling.
"So you drug my drink so you can make me have sex with you right?" He asked.
"What are you talking about, I didn't do anything like that so don't even try to involve me." I said,
"If it wasn't you then who else did that? And why am I naked right now?" He asked.
"Look you know what, I have had enough of your nonsense, let's get a divorce." I told him, and he looked shocked because he didn't expect me to say something like that.
I have really had enough of him and his mother, they have both hurt me so much that I don't want anything else to do with them.
All this while I was still trying to make him love me, because I thought there was still hope for us since that lady wasn't here, but everything I did didn't make him change how he felt towards me.
So it's totally hopeless to think he would still love me afterwards and especially now that the lady was back, because yesterday when the guards brought him, he told me about how they had both gone to meet up with the lady in one restaurant.
"Ok fine, I even like that, besides I don't love you, but rather I still hate you." He said, and I felt even more bad.
"You can start the preparation." I said, and quickly grabbed my clothes from the floor, and went into the bathroom.
I quickly got dressed before he would ask me what I was doing. I really need to move to the guest room now.
I came out of the bathroom after a while all dressed, and I quickly opened the closet and started picking out my clothes.
He didn't bother to say anything to me and he went over to the bathroom.
I took all my clothes and left the room before he could think of coming back. I really regretted why I decided to waste my Time with him, when I knew he could never love me.
CARTER POVWhen she said she wanted a divorce, I felt strange about it, but I like the fact that she was the one that had said it. Honestly, since my father's death, I should have made that decision, but I really don't know why I still remain in the marriage with her, when I knew that I don't really love her for a bit. I sighed softly and slowly continued my bath.When I entered the room I saw it was completely empty, and I just took a deep breath,as I went to get dressed.I went out of the room and headed straight to the dining room. I met just the cook there who quickly dished out my food for me. Just as I was about to eat, my phone rang. And I immediately took it up. I checked the caller's ID and saw it was one of my guards.I quickly pressed the answer button and placed it in my ears. "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, but some people attacked the warehouse and took away some goods from there." He spoke up immediately, and I frowned."I will be there in a minute
Chapter 9"Anna, let's go over to my office." I said to her, as she just nodded, and stood up from the chair she was sitting while I also did the same as we both started walking out of the meeting room.We entered my office together, and had a seat, as we talked about how the party was going to go. Honestly I really don't feel like attending any party tonight because I had a lot of work to do, but since those clients insisted, I had to do it, no matter what.We talked about how it was going to go for a while, and we decided to go over to the mall and get some dress which would be suitable for the party.We left the firm early, and we headed straight to the mall where I bought two dresses, one for myself and the other for Anna who couldn't stop thanking me,as we went over to my house."So Macey, what do you really like to eat now, so I can prepare it?" She asked me."Come on Anna,we haven't even get into the house yet, and you are already looking for a way to cook." I told her, as I br
CARTER'S POVDespite what I said, Charlotte still insisted on eating outside of the hotel. She insists on eating at a fancy restaurant."It looks more heartwarming to be in places like that, than eating in a hotel. Honestly, I don't feel like going into this hotel. I just don't feel like it," She said, crossing her arms while sitting in my car.I'm really not up for this nonsense at this very moment. She insisted on shopping and I followed her to do so, despite the fact that I'm not interested in leaving my hotel room.Now we're back, she doesn't want to eat here in the hotel but at a fancy restaurant.Charlotte's behavior was beginning to get on my nerves. And she won't like me if I get extremely mad with her.Again, she begged me to take her to a restaurant, saying she wasn't ready to eat at the hotel but somewhere more convenient to her liking."Please, let's go Carter," Charlotte pleaded. Now holding me by the arms.I was angry, that's the honest truth. But I sighed and succumbed
CARTER'S POVDriving into the highway, my mind came to a rest, not full rest, after leaving that restaurant. I've settled Charlotte's needs and couldn't wait to drop her off at the mansion.It's been a long time since I went over to my mansion. Charlotte is making me go there tonight after a long time. I really didn't want to be near that place at this moment. There are memories that trouble my mind whenever I'm there.But, I have no choice but to take Charlotte there. She had come over to see me and made me take her out to different places. Now I'm taking her home.No problem then. Will just drop her off and head back to the hotel. That's what I'll do.Driving into the night, I soon made a turn into the path which led to my residence. Soon I arrived at the front of my mansion, pulling up my car closely.The moment I stopped, I turned to look at Charlotte. She sat quietly, taking hold of her purse in her hand."I'll see you off," I offered. Opening up my car and stepping out.Charlott
CARTER'S POV"Eat my son," My mother encouraged me. She didn't want to bother me anymore with her questions. She just kept saying eat and nothing else.I had gained a little of my appetite back. So, I ate a little from my remnant and finally came to a stop.Taking a napkin to wipe my lips, my mother asked if I was done. Didn't give a clear word, but just hummed, since I was still attending to my lips."It still looks a lot. Won't you eat the rest?" She asked me.But I told her I was satisfied and thanked her for the meal. "Will be heading back now," I said, stepping away from the dining table.I noticed she wanted to speak, but I immediately turned around and walked out of the dining room."Let me escort you then," She said. Meaning she's following me from the back.I didn't wait for her to get to me. She might want to do something just to delay me. I didn't stop to face her.Got outside of the mansion and straight into my car. My mother was almost close to me, but I immediately drov
CARTER'S MOTHER POVThe following morning came. It felt so quick to me when I heard the sound of my alarm in the morning.I had gotten myself ready and had my breakfast with Charlotte. She was looking beautiful like always. Fully dressed to go out and have fun."Will I take my leave now, mother?" She said once she was done eating her food. Took her purse and phone before bouncing out of the mansion.I was almost done with mine. So once I ate the last spoon, I went into the living room to rest, and not just rest, to call out to my son and demand an explanation.I haven't forgotten, no I didn't. I made sure that was the first thing that came popping into my head when I woke up.Taking out my phone, I dialed Carter's number. It rang for some minutes, before he finally picked it."Hello Mom," He said to me."Carter, I want to see you. Come over to the mansion, we need to talk," I said, tabling out my demand."Mom, I don't want to come over. I have things to do. We can talk on the phone so
CARTER'S POVMy words had pleased them both. Both these two women were pleased to hear what I had said.It's not the truth, but it's the only way to keep them from asking any more questions about what happened at the restaurant last night.I should have known that after that long face Charlotte pulled at me last night, before heading in, she'll still take it to my mother. Just to get her to talk.And goodness knows I hate matters like that. It's one thing I don't like to talk about. They make a fuss about every little tiny thing that happens. Just giving me so much headache and stress at the same time.Here I was, thinking I could just give my Mom the explanation she wants to hear that'll please her soul before dashing out of here. But Charlotte is here now. And I'm sure they won't want me to leave quickly."Thank you for your care Carter," Charlotte said to me. Still hugging me closely.I just hummed at her words. Having a detest to the way she was holding me close in the presence of
Without wasting much time, I arrived at the venue where I'm supposed to meet up with the Mafia boss, and just as I entered, the club house the music played hit me.I really don't like going into a club that much, but the fact that I'm going to meet up with a Mafia boss, I had to just go in there.I'm also into all this Mafia business, but I'm kind of different, because I don't really like clubbing that much, but I really like attending parties and having so many drinks, but I don't club.Whenever I'm in a club, I was only there for nothing more than business, so that's it. I sighed softly as I walked into the clubhouse fully.A lady smiled at me immediately she saw me, and walked closer to me, and tried to wrap her hand around me, but I stopped her, before she could even think of it."Why are you so mean, despite the fact that you are handsome." She frowned, and I didn't bother to respond to her, but I could tell she was already so drunk, because her breath smelled of alcohol.I just
Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu
We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly
I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,
I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking
MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see
Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some
Chapter 35Once I was done, I walked back into my Suite, and got dressed, before placing a call across to the attendance placing order for food, which was brought to me almost immediately.After eating, I climbed into my bed, but couldn't sleep as my mind was still very much clouded with the thought of Macey. I really couldn't believe what was happening. Or why I couldn't stand up to her and just tell her what I feel I really needed to tell her.I could still remember how she would always cry like a baby whenever I or mum did something to her. But now she is really a high standards lady, who doesn't give a fuck about me anymore.I really neglected her feelings back then, and it's really so hard for me to stand up to her and tell her mine, because she might want to pay me back for all I have done to her.I thought and sighed softly while I shut my eyes, and turned over to another direction on my bed. "What would she be doing right now?" I asked no one in particular, as I remained on my
I sighed softly, and left the kitchen as I went to have my food. I know Anna must really be upset right now, and it wasn't really right for me to yell at her that way. I thought as I tried to hurry up with my foodI finally stood up afterwards, and got ready to leave, and once I arrived at Anna's house. I knocked while she just came to open the door almost immediately like she has been expecting me."Anna, I'm really so sorry for the way I spoke to you, I really shouldn't have, and I know you were only trying to look out for me, believe me, I really appreciate it." I told her, while placing my hand in my chest."It's okay, I totally understand you, and I shouldn't have made you leave the house anyway before if I haven't we won't have gotten into that kind of a situation." She said, but I told her, she had done the right thing, because I really needed to go out of the house for a while to cool off."Even if you needed to go out of the house, you really don't need to go to a club, besid
Anna walked back into the sitting room all dressed up. "Where are you heading?" I asked her, not being able to stop myself."Like I said, it's a secret, you will find out when I get back, so just relax back here, I will be back soon trust me." She said, and grabbed my car keys."But Anna,do you think it a good idea to Leave me all alone in the house? Don't you think I would be too bored, considering how I am feeling right now?" I asked her, hoping it would do the magic of making her stay back or probably making her allow me tag along, because I really don't want to stay with her all alone. It's really not advisable to me right now. "Oh that's true, I never really thought of that." She sighed softly while biting on her figure."You know what, go ahead and get dressed, let's go out together, maybe you might feel a little better once we are out." She said, and I smiled immediately, as I tried to make my way out of the sitting room."No stop, I won't go out anymore, let's just stay toget
