"Liam, I don't know if I am ready to see your mother again," Charlotte admitted. "Considering our plans, would it be fine for her to meet me while I have yet to divorce Tim? I'm just not sure if this is the right time."

"I understand. Wait here," Liam instructed. "Let me see what she needs first."

Liam also felt the same way. His parents knew of his secret trips to Swaxon and why he built a hotel in that city. They knew he still had his eye on Charlotte, but at the same time, his parents were also aware that Charlotte was married. He has yet to tell them that Charlotte will be getting a divorce. Re-introducing Charlotte now would only give them the wrong impression.

He got off the car at the hotel's driveway. Liam was about to walk inside the property when he saw his mother's car. His beloved mother was already walking in his direction, her eyes looking past his frame.

"Mom? What brings you here?" Liam asked.

His mother, Scarlett Wright, didn't seem to hear him. Her espresso-co

    Liam's mother recalled those days. After Liam became the CEO of the Diamond Hotel, Scarlett and Kaleb tried to introduce their son to other suitable women in the city. Each time, he would come back to them, giving several excuses. "She is not my type." "I prefer blondes." "She was boring. She isn't funny." "Her eyes. They weren't as pretty." The only woman to ever get close to Liam was Harriet Kent. She was a news anchor at BNC Media. Harriet had three dinner dates with Liam, but her son never let her into his car. Each time they went out, they rode in their respective vehicles. The truth was Scarlett felt Liam did not try hard enough. He had given his heart to one person who was already happily married. Even if this was the case, Scarlett knew her son understood his boundaries. He would never get involved with a married woman. So imagine her surprise when she found out Liam and Charlotte were together! The astonishment she experienced made her lose consciousness completely.

    "Liam?" Charlotte called his name. Because of her past life, Charlotte already knew how Liam loved her. That was why she was confident enough to ask him to marry her. Even without Scarlett telling her the truth, deep inside her bones, she felt his love for her. 'However,' she thought. ‘It would be nice to hear it from his mouth, the same way he confessed his love in my previous life.’ "Would it kill you to say I love you? What do you really feel about me?" She asked while clenching her hands against his coat. She didn't blink, her eyes remained to study his athletic face, and she swore he looked so handsome. She felt the urge to touch and kiss him. "Just so we are clear, my answer will not change the fact that you were the one who asked me to marry you," Liam said in his manly voice. Charlotte nearly giggled in amusement. She pouted her lip as she replied, "I'm waiting." Liam's adams apple bobbed repeatedly, and to Charlotte, it made him look incredibly sexy. He replied, "M

    Timothy and Victoria took turns viewing the penthouse. They were both in awe of the home's luxurious furnishing and captivating view. They decided the Diamond Hotel was the best property for them to continue their affair. It was the perfect establishment to go unnoticed. Since it was a hotel, people could come in and out. Should Timothy and Victoria be seen together, no one would suspect they rented the property's penthouse. With that decision, Timothy met the hotel manager to confirm his rent. On the other hand, Victoria waited for him in the hotel's underground parking. Timothy was very impressed. They treated him special and invited him into a private conference room for the contract signing. "Mister Cash, my name is Christian. I am the hotel manager. We are glad that you have decided to rent the penthouse." The manager shook Timothy's hand before taking his seat. He said, "Before anything else, I want to discuss the process before we sign the contract." Christian gave Timothy

    "Did you sleep well? No nightmares?" Liam asked as he set the treadmill's settings. "Yes -well, I woke up around two but fell back asleep in less than an hour," Charlotte said. "So it was okay." "Why didn't you call me?" Liam asked. "I know you were working until midnight. I asked Chadwick," Charlotte answered. When Charlotte saw Liam frown, she insisted, "It's okay. I think the new environment made me sleep better." He fell silent. Charlotte did not know what was going through his mind, but after a while, he instructed, "Put me on video call while you sleep tonight. I insist.” His offer made Charlotte smile, and as they started with their cardio, she was beaming all throughout. "Charlotte, your body should be your greatest investment. Do at least ten minutes of cardio three times a week," he said while starting with a walk. They were on the treadmill for half an hour since they had time to kill. Afterward, Liam taught Charlotte a few workout routines. They were both sw

    Charlotte rolled her eyes, seeing Victoria's message. Timothy had also texted at the same time as her. Victoria: [Charlotte, I miss you. When will you be home? Didn't you say you would be back today?] Timothy: [Love? What time will your flight land? You didn't call me last night.] She replied only to Timothy: [We arrived late in the evening. I'm still tired, but today is the monthly report meeting with the board of directors, so I have to be there.] While Charlotte was away, Timothy and Victoria had the audacity to return to their marital home and repeated their affairs. Timothy might have thought he was being careful by not going to Victoria's apartment, but they gave her more evidence of their betrayal by choosing their home instead. She thanked the law in Swaxon for being open to using video recordings as evidence in court. Her attorneys have carefully studied previous divorce cases in Swaxon and learned that most video recordings were allowed into evidence as long as there w

    "What the -" A slap went across Timothy's face just as he exited the building of Strauss Asset Investment. His eyes widened, and his blood boiled at what Victoria had done. "How could you? I thought you loved me?" Victoria raised. She was in tears, and her body was trembling in anger. While it was already six in the evening, and most of the employees at the company had already left, the security guards and the receptionist were still around. Timothy immediately panicked. As he felt his face, he asked, "What are you talking about? And can you keep your voice down? We are in front of the office!" "Did you have yourself tested for sexually transmitted diseases? Almost every week? What makes you think I - " Victoria's words were cut off by Timothy's hand over her mouth. He pulled her closer and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Let's discuss this in the car!" Timothy dragged her to his parked car and practically shoved her inside. It was there that they had a dece

    It wasn't enough that Victoria constantly tried to convince Charlotte to cancel the divorce request; Timothy was also so dramatic. When Timothy and two of his lawyers arrived, he acted like the victim of Charlotte's sudden determination to leave him. He cried and questioned, "I gave you everything, my love; a house, a penthouse, luxurious jewelry, and you want to divorce me over a mere suspicion? You won't even talk to me properly!" "I can't believe how you came prepared for this divorce, Charlotte. Four lawyers? Really? You needed a panel of lawyers?" Timothy questioned. "And you are even asking for ten million dollars in alimony?" Timothy raised his hands and said, "You broke my heart, Charlotte. How could you easily forget our vows?" Timothy turned to Victoria and pleaded, "Please, Victoria. Talk some sense into your friend." When Charlotte only rolled her eyes, Timothy's lawyer Mister Perez coldly suggested, "We will do the talking from now on, Mister Cash. I see how your wi

    "Infertility?" Charlotte repeated. She was about to lash at Timothy's attorneys when Mae, the lawyer beside her, held her hand. Mae said, "Do you know that blaming Charlotte's infertility falls under mental cruelty? It emotionally harms women already suffering from their current health problems." "Under section 498A, any such kind of offense is punishable under law, and the punishment can be imprisonment of three years or more," Mae revealed. "Mister Cash, if you badly wanted to go to jail. Just say so. We can work on that." Yael sarcastically described. "Let's see. There's adultery. That's two years in prison. You may deny your involvement in drugging our client with the sleeping pills now, but if proven that you are part of it, you can go to jail for as long as fourteen years -" "You - " Timothy was about to speak, but his lawyer raised his hand. Mister Perez said, "My client reserves the right to remain silent. However, a mere sleeping pill will not fall under sexual assault

    In an intimate chapel in Swaxon, rows of seats were aligned with turtle tree leaves. The same were adorned with peony and lilac blooms. Chandeliers hang on the ceiling, including hanging wisteria flowers and candlesticks. Gemstones also hang randomly from above, longer ones particularly bordered the aisle. Liam stood in a floral arch, waiting for his bride. He wore a tailor-fit suit as he held his gaze high, his eyes gleaming in tears. Despite having aged and having formed a few wrinkles on his face, he remained handsome and dignified. All his children stood alongside him. His twin boys were to his right. Scarlett Cecilia and Caleb Chad took the other side. Surprisingly enough, their little guy was cooperating with the ceremony. Smoke machines began to emit vapor towards the back of the chapel, and it signaled everyone who attended the wedding to turn to the aisle and turn on their lanterns. Over fifty small lanterns attached to a stick illuminated Charlotte's path. Most of t

    Almost three years had passed. Charlotte and Liam's family had a picnic lunch with Carla and Chadwick. The older kids were done with their meals and enjoying their desserts. Only Caleb Chad was still munching his vegetables next to Charlotte. Liam drank a full glass of water and revealed, "Marian and Tony Cash are getting out today." Charlotte wiped her mouth with a table napkin. She remembered how Timothy's parents tried their best to evade imprisonment by delaying their hearing, but in the end, they were convicted of tax evasion. Marian and Tony were sentenced to five years. Charlotte did not even realize it had been that long. She straightened her posture, saying, "Wow, time flies." "Do you think they will be a problem, though?" Carla asked. "No, they won't," Chadwick assured everyone. "Our men have already spoken to Tony Cash. We have sent the message. If they don't bite, we won't bite back. They know not to mess with the Wrights." "So far, Victoria has not been a proble

    Two years had passed. "And this year's World Finance Market award for the country's promising investment company goes to Strauss Asset Investments of Swaxon City!" A round of applause echoed across the venue. Company employees who attended the business gathering screamed for joy. At the same time, the host continued to introduce the company, "By the end of last year, Strauss Asset Investments has profited over three billion dollars while contributing generously to the Heart and Lung Center of Swaxon. The same company has opened two other branches, one in Braeton and another in Capmond. Their expansion granted over three hundred jobs." "Their partner, Gravity Ventures, held the same award three years ago, and today, they lead the finance market with the help of Strauss Asset Investments." The host looked at the party where Charlotte and her team sat and said, "Strauss Asset Investments continues to make smart investment decisions, satisfying the needs of their clients. And it is ex

    "I, Paul Strauss, take you, Charlene, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death. This is my solemn vow," Paul said in front of the crowd. Charlene was crying, taking deep breaths. Paul had to wipe the tears from her face before Charlene managed to speak her vows. In Braeton's biggest Cathedral, Paul and Charlene married again. After holding back due to Errol's death, their union was finally renewed. Charlotte was crying in her seat while carrying Peter. The toddler was sleeping in her arms after running around before the wedding could start. Her other boy, Paul Luces, was still at it, giving his nanny a run for it by the Cathedral's grounds. "I feel it, Mother's happiness. I feel that she is very happy with her second chance," Charlotte said. "And Father too," Liam said, looking at Paul's expression. Charlotte agreed. Paul's eyes were gliste

    "Breathe in. Breathe out. Push along with your contractions - I'm so happy to be here right now. Thank you, heavens, for this opportunity," Scarlett said while holding Charlotte's hand. She cried, "My beautiful daughter-in-law is giving me another wonderful grandchild, and I am here to witness it all." Scarlett Wright got her wish come true. Liam's flight got delayed due to air traffic in Swaxon. Scarlett became Charlotte's automatic companion as she gave birth. Charlotte pushed, feeling the pain running down her pelvis. She gasped and was about ready to make another push when Scarlett said, "Don't be afraid. Mom's here. I'll be your strength. Take as much energy as you need from me -" "Okay, Mother. I got it," Charlotte said, trying not to interrupt her mother-in-law. "Arrggh." Scarlett was multitasking. She leaned sideways to see what was happening between Charlotte's legs. Then, she announced, "The baby is crowning!" "You can do it, Charlotte! You can do it!" Scarlett added, le

    "So this is how it will work," Charlotte said. She was wearing a white robe around her, and so was her husband. "Liam and I will reveal the gender of Chadwick's and Carla's baby, and they will announce ours." "Everyone got it?" Charlotte asked, giving a thumbs up to their family members. "Liam and I will go first." "We are excited!" Scarlett screamed. "We are all curious why you both are wearing robes!" "That's because," Liam said. "Inside these robes are the truth about Carla's and Chadwick's baby's gender." Carla held Chadwick's hand from her seat and said, "I'm feeling nervous." The couple was back at Samantha's and Ethan's mansion to have the gender reveal party, which every one of the Wrights, based in Braeton City, attended. Pete and Cecile had traveled with Charlotte and Liam, whereas Paul, Charlene, and Lucinda were just in town. Carla had no problems with the venue because it gave her brother and mother an alibi for a longer trip. If the event were in Swaxon, it would

    "Charlotte?" Frank called. "Should we postpone the meeting?" Charlotte opened her eyes and realized she was in the conference room, having a meeting with the executives. They had a short break while the internet was being restored, and Charlotte took a moment to doze off in her chair. A chuckle left her lips. Charlotte reasoned, "Sorry. It's the pregnancy hormones." "Oh, I know. My wife also suddenly sleeps in the middle of anything," Xander teased. "But you always came back rocking, Boss. We have no complaints." "Internet's back up, Boss," Ming said. "Right," Charlotte said before looking at the screen before her. "Carry on." "As you can see, Boss, our competitor, A&D Mutual Fund, has followed our investment tactics. I can't help but be annoyed," Ming remarked. Charlotte smiled. A&D Mutual Fund was the competitor company that supposedly hired Shane Westly, Jim Ash, and Billy White. Even Xander jumped into working with them in Charlotte's past life. However, with the knowledg

    " You found me all messed upYou found me down on my luckSo lost, but then I woke up in love" ~ Chadwick's and Carla's wedding party was a blast. They entered, dancing to the tune of Woke Up in Love by Kygo, Gryffin, and Calum Scott. Carla raised her arm, lifting her bouquet as the guests congratulated them. Visitors included some of her followers on social media, her co-actors from Pacific Lifeguards, co-workers of Chadwick within Liam's security team, Charlotte's and Liam's family, and Boris. While Carla fluidly danced to the music, Chadwick looked stiff but tried to dance along. "Go Chadwick! Go, Chadwick! Haha!" Charlotte laughed while clapping her hands. She turned to her husband and encouraged, "Look here and cheer Chadwick on!" Liam shook his head the entire time. He said, "Just let me remember Chadwick as a stiff lad. I can't imagine him dancing." "Aww. This is another side of Chadwick that I haven't seen before," Scarlett remarked, smiling at Chadwick. She and her hu
