"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

At Jamestown Military Base, a soldier was recording Nurse Maddison's confession. She said, "Please, you have to know, I was forced into this. I couldn't find a job that pays well. Only Doctor Serina gave me that chance." Sniffing her tears away, she said, "She instructed me on the medications for Misses Cash, and I prepared them for Doctor Serina. Actually, she does this in several patients. It's a scheme to keep patients under her long-term treatment plan so the patients can keep seeing her - paying her for whatever treatments she would recommend." "Including the leptin?" The soldier asked. "Yes, including the leptin. In some cases, weight gain can affect a woman's fertility," Maddison revealed. The soldier gave her a paper to write on and said, "We will need specific details, actual accounts of previous malpractice." "I will cooperate and tell you everything you need to know," Maddison offered. She gripped the soldier's wrist and begged, "Please tell Misses Cash to absolve me.
Mr. CEO, I Came Back To Love You Chapter 35: Next Goal
'Finally,' Charlotte thought. The moment she had been waiting for arrived; the divorce. Disagreeing with the divorce settlement meant fighting for her freedom, which could take months or a year of legal battle. It would be a challenging journey. She could not imagine being married to Timothy for another year! There was just no way! The worst part was how she would have to hold back from seeing Liam, and many things could happen in between. This was part of what Yael discussed with Charlotte. What if Timothy learned about her secret meetings with Liam while the divorce had yet to be finalized? If Charlotte could plant hidden cameras to catch her husband, Timothy could do the same. Timothy could turn the tables around and make her the cheater instead of him! Again, she returned to her ultimate goal. Divorce first! Be free from Timothy and be free to see Liam too. Her inkling told her that Victoria had something to do with the fertility clinic anyway. As for the Cash family, they

Earlier that day, Timothy got up at four in the morning. His sleep had not been well lately since the divorce. He turned to the naked woman by his side. Victoria. This woman was the one he chose, yet, he felt something was missing. A groan left his lips as he raked his fingers through his hair. He clenched his jaws and concluded silently, 'Maybe because this wasn't part of the plan. Charlotte was still supposed to be here and keep my life in a balance. With her gone prematurely, it just doesn't seem to feel right.' 'Yes, that's it.' He frowned, thinking, 'There is no way in hell I would miss that fat woman!' Then he paused, realizing one thing. Charlotte was losing weight day by day. She would no longer be that chubby woman who used to be his wife. 'No, Charlotte has no self-control. She is going to end up eating a lot just like -' He took another paused and turned to Victoria. His lips twitched because Victoria had recently complained about her dress not fitting right. Lately, s

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
