Charlotte Hayes'

"Is that so?" My mother said, looking at me with eyes filled with no emotions. My small heart was beating fast, as if I'm being chased by a beast. There was silence in the air, not until it was broken down the moment my mother yawned. Ophelia stretched her arms, and said in a sleepy voice, "Anyway! Let's leave the matter for another day. I'm quite tired."

I nodded, and said as I scratched the back of my neck, "Okay mom. Good night…" My mother went towards the guest room, and before she could close the door shut, she bid me, "sweet dreams," with that innocent smile of hers.

I immediately went to another separate room, and locked the doors shut. "I can't guarantee my safety even in my house.. gees.. the only place where safety is within is.. when he's there." All of the sudden, my face blushes red. I was embarrassed now that he's in my mind.

"I can't believe this.. what exactly have I said?" I slapped my cheeks. Now that he's on my mind, it's hard to get him out of it.

  • Milady   Chapter 29: Mother knows!

    Charlotte Hayes' POVJake and I shared eye contact—one very awkward, that holds quite the pressure. I looked at him with eyes of mockery, and he looked back at me with irritated eyes. It seems like he couldn't hold a glare very well.After a few seconds, I looked away; since the sight of his eyes disgusts me. I could sense that mother was looking at us, but it's fine. She would probably think of it as a lovers quarrel or whatever it may be. "Oh dear, I'm interested. Who might be that certain someone?" Mother holds a grin. I took a bite of the soft tender meat that was on my plate, and after chewing its delightful piece, I gobbled it straight down to my throat. I drank a glass of water in a rush, and replied, "Secret."Mother giggles upon hearing my response. I guess hearing my response made her even more interested to know more; but I doubt that she doesn't have someone in mind. After a while of chatting, my mother and I were shocked to hear the doorbell ring."Well, were you guys ex

A cute, little 7 year old Charlotte Maine asked. We were currently in my room, about to go to bed when my darling suddenly asked me that question.My eyes widened, and I was in awe of her inquiry. I chuckled and replied with a smile on my face, "Darling.. Mommy craves attention because she lacked attention in the first place."I looked at the floor, and started to reminisce about those old times when I was just a child, when I was still residing at my parents' abode."My father was a drunkard that always fought with my mother.. and my mother was obsessed with gambling so much that we had a lot of debt piled up.

The Étienne family has thousands of mansions surrounding the world; and this mansion was one of those minor abodes of the wealthy family. I looked at the building with a rather shocked expression on how gigantic it is despite the fact that it's just a minor mansion for them.I can't help but to wonder how great and big the main mansion is. Damien suddenly walked behind me, and gave me a peck on the cheek. "Love that? It's our future home," he said, wrapping his thick arms on my thin waist. The moment we entered the lovely mansion, we were greeted by a bunch of maids who bowed to our presence in unison. I felt like someone, a noble at this point. Damien continued to hold my hand, as we walked to the lengthy hallway.Truly, my eyes were fixed on the mansion' surroundings; the beautiful paintings on the wall, the scent of flowers overflowing the hall, and the luxurious appearance of the mansion.

I quickly hugged Aviana as a response, and stroked her hair in a gentle manner, treating her like a vulnerable thing."Aviana, my baby. How have things been lately?" I asked, lowering my eyes, to soften my glance. Aviana looked at me with those same flirty eyes, and replied with a smile, "I've been so lonely of your warmth~ how about you?"We're currently at another hotel I booked, inside of a luxurious room. "Things have been hectic..

    Damien Yves Etienne’s POVWhilst my mother and father started to have a cheesy love quarrel, I left them alone with an exhausted expression on my face. The moment I went back to the room where Charlotte was, I was immediately greeted by her matching expression on her face, as she lay down the queen-sized bed. My face looked concerned as I looked down to her, seeing how she looked awfully exhausted. Without a hesitation, I gently carried her in my arms like a gentle fragile baby. Charlotte looks at me with a cute pout on her face, as I tried to match my expression with hers when I asked, “Sweetie? Are you alright?”Although it didn’t take her long to respond with reassurance, I was intensely worried to death about her—that is, until she looked at me with those seductive eyes of hers, that naturally made my heart flutter like a butterfly. The very sight of her eyes makes me go crazy already; and little did I know, I already leaned closer towards her and kissed her on the lips passionate

    Charlotte Hayes’ POV“But it doesn’t matter, darling. Let them hear all they want. They can't do a thing about it anyways,” Damien said with a chuckle. I woke up early, only to hear these breathtaking comments coming from his mouth. I hopelessly sighs in embarrassment as I cover my face with my palms. After a few teasing moments with him, we went to the dining hall in matching outfits; ofcourse, only after getting ready. “What a lovely morning, isn’t it?” Damien's mother asks, whilst holding a cup of tea. We are currently gathered around the dining table with a mountain of foods placed on the table. Damien and I sat beside each other, while his mother was sitting before us in a graceful way; one that noble ladies possess. Not too long, Damien’s father appeared on the scene. It almost felt like a family gathering, in which the parents test me if I’m good enough to be their son’s lover. “Oh?” Damien’s father asked with a grin on his face. I stood up, and slightly bowed to his presence

You can’t just stay like this forever,” father replies with a frown on his face. “I know that,” I added, “I, too, am thinking what to do next.” A problematic look appears on my face, as my eyebrows twitch.

    Charlotte Hayes' POVThe moment Damien accepted the call from the telephone, his expression turned stern—the smile on his face faded. "Is there something wrong?" I asked, reaching out to his other hand with a worried reaction. Damien placed the telephone back where it was, and pulled me closer towards him, looking at me, now wearing a smile. "What's wrong?" I asked. "It's Jake Hayes. The pest finally sent a threat." I was dumbfounded the moment I heard his words. "Let's see how far he's willing to go, shall we?" He scoffs. The next day, Damien and his father were planning some things. As ordered, I had to stay inside my room until further notice for protection. "I wonder what's going to happen now," I was looking outside the window of my room, admiring the view. Then, all of the sudden, a knock was heard outside my room. "Come in," I ordered.

"You can take a bath now," I said, as I was about to pass through him with a poker face, when he suddenly grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to him. "Can't I have a kiss before I go take a bath?" I blushed at his words, as I pushed him aside, trying to maintain that poker face. "It's not like you're going to war," I pouted."Who says that I can only receive a kiss if I'm going to war?" He grinned. Obviously, there's no reason for me not to kiss him. But maybe today's one of those mood swings of mine, as I am currently acting hard to get. "I'll give you a kiss after you're done taking a bath," I said, sighing. Damien's eyes brightened as he nodded. I went back to the bedroom to change clothes, while Damien was taking a bath.

Charlotte's eyes widened upon hearing my remarks. "What? The paparazzi haven't found him yet? Where has he been hiding?" She asks, as she slowly stops embracing me, her gaze fixed on me. "No. Before I came here, I had a few of my men find him, but there has been no updates since then," I sighed, crossing my arms, showing an annoyed reaction. "Does he know nothing, except to hide?" I added, rolling my eyes.Charlotte sighs as she holds my hand firmly, reassuring me with that loving smile of hers. "Don't worry. He can't stay hidden for long," she says.

The more I scoured the crowd, the more I became frustrated by my inability to find her. The frustration quickly morphed into anger as I realized how much time I wasted looking at random people, all because I was worried about someone else. I clenched my fists in frustr
