LiLhyzJune 29, chapter 2-2. I hope you loved their first. Wink. Guys, I am going to ask for your understanding in the next two days. My first son's birthday is coming up. So, we are going out on a holiday, but not like before when I still updated when I was away; this time, I will enjoy the mini-vacation because my parents are joining us. My parents live in another country. I have not seen my mother in seven years, so I want to treat my parents. My next update will be on Sunday evening. Thank you for your patience, and have a happy weekend ahead.

"As one of the legal counsel for Miss Strauss, I will speak on her behalf," the lawyer who announced was Mae. She made the statement in one of the conference rooms of the Diamond Hotel Plus, Swaxon. "For almost a year, my client was wrongly medicated by a local clinic in Swaxon, The Serenity Fertility Clinic. The malpractice resulted in Miss Strauss' hormonal imbalance, causing cysts in her ovaries. Which is why Miss Strauss is filing a lawsuit against the said clinic," Mae added. "She is currently receiving treatment to correct the damage that has been done. Because of this, Miss Strauss cannot face the media. We want to point out a few things in response to Mister Cash and his family's statement. Miss Strauss was asked to sign an agreement where she could not divulge information about the divorce, but this part of the arrangement was already breached by Mister Cash, following his family's press conference. Thus, it is only fair that we air out Miss Strauss' side," Mae added. "M

"Ah!" Victoria screamed. The gadget instantly cracked when she dropped her mobile, and Timothy suspected she had done it on purpose! 'But why?' He thought. "Timothy! Look what you made me do! You startled me!" Victoria complained. Timothy closed in to reach for Victoria's phone, but she was quick to snatch it away. She showed him her mobile and said, "It's dead now, thanks to you! Now I have to get a new phone!" "Who were you texting?" He demanded because he was convinced the message was sketchy. Timothy did not get to read everything, but he read the part where it said: [They don't suspect a thing. They believed every word I said.] "No one!" Victoria reacted. "What are you involved in that was suspicious?" Timothy asked. Victoria's mouth fell open. Timothy could tell that she was struggling with her following words. She soon gasped and admitted, "Okay! You got me!" Tears rolled down her face as she revealed, "I tried to get Carla's appearance at a local TV noontime show. M

"Grandpa!" Charlotte cried while greeting Pete and Cecile at the airport. She embraced Pete first and then gave the same loving hold to Cecile. She said, "I missed you guys so much." A month had passed since Charlotte left Swaxon. Finally, her grandparents came to see her. Behind them were Mae and Robert, two of Charlotte's attorneys. While Yael Amari returned to Braeton weeks ago, Mae and Robert had remained in Swaxon to follow up on her lawsuit against Serenity Fertility Clinic and on her divorce certificate. "Miss Strauss," Mae greeted. Robert gave her the same regard, and after their meet and greet, they left for the Third Diamond Hotel. Liam met Cecile and Pete for the second time, and Charlotte saw how her grandparents were so amazed at him. Unlike the last time they met, Liam was more comfortable and conversational, and the best part was how Charlotte always had his attention. While the servers were preparing their lunch, Liam reminded them, "Lemon water for Charlotte

"Charlotte, remember my Uncle Kyle and Aunt Gaby?" Liam said, referring to two godly-looking people. Kyle Wright was Liam's eldest uncle. He was the former CEO of the biggest corporation in Braeton, The Wright Diamond Corporation. Charlotte remembered how the Diamond Hotels were part of the corporation's ventures, but they separated its management. Liam's father, Kaleb, took over the Diamond Hotels. Now, the next generations of Wrights were running the businesses. Beside Kyle Wright was his wife, a former actress turned producer, Gaby Wright. "Yes, I remember, but it's been a while." With a smile, Charlotte said, "It's nice to see you again -" "Aunt Gaby and Uncle Kyle." The gorgeous, caramel-haired lady offered, "You can call us informally, dear. You are now Liam's wife." "Char -" Kyle said, but his wife interrupted. Gaby told her husband, "She is one of the good girls, Handsome. Liam's new wife." "Right," Kyle acknowledged. "Charlotte. A good girl's name is easy to say."

"I was just a child when I found out. I became curious about my biological parents, my emotions were all over the place, and despite receiving so much love from my family - the Wrights, I carried with me that pain of rejection because my real parents abandoned me," Liam revealed. "Growing up, I wondered if this love my family had shown would last or will they eventually point out that I was only adopted." "Wow." Pete gasped. He leaned back in his seat and said, "Never in a million years would I have guessed that." Gesturing his hand toward Liam, Pete defined, "They - they love you. I thought you were the cream of the crop by the way they treated you." "No," Liam shook his head. He smiled and admitted, "The cream of the crop is in Freedonia, Kenneth. My family smothered me with love because they feared how I would react indifferently or seek out my biological parents, and no, I don't hate it. I could not wish for a better family." Liam held back from crying as he admitted, "I owe t

Almost a month had passed, and the newlywed couple was still in the Maldives, enjoying their honeymoon. In their living room space, Charlotte was having an online consultation with Doctor Misha. "Charlotte, I'm seeing beautiful results in your blood test. You did well for yourself," Doctor Misha complimented. "And that's not all," Charlotte announced. She stepped back from the laptop and took a full turn, showing off her body. "Wow! You have trimmed down!" Doctor Misha exclaimed. "I wasn't seeing it since you were always up close during our online sessions." Putting a hand on her waist, Charlotte proudly said, "I'm now a size eight, though I can't say my breast is that full." "The vacation truly did me well," Charlotte described as she returned to her seat. "And my husband is keeping me away from my phone. I think my phone is a much-added stress. Hearing news about Swaxon and the company makes me want to face my laptop, which Liam had prevented me from doing!" "Out here, in t

Liam's text: [I'm taking longer than expected. There were problems with the renovation plans for the next tower. Are you okay with going ahead of me?] Charlotte read Liam's message. She replied: [It's okay. Chadwick will walk me to the restaurant. Don't take too long. I love you.] Her heart fluttered, seeing his immediate reply. She read: [I'm crazy about you.] She checked herself in the mirror inside their suite, studying her red dress. Charlotte did not know why, but she was loving red clothes lately. After ensuring she looked stunning, she stepped outside where Chadwick was waiting. Following their honeymoon, Charlotte and Liam went straight to Springwell. They did not have time to return to Braeton. Instead, Liam arranged for Chadwick to meet them at the airport and organized one of their suites for their overnight stay. Before joining the dinner with the Walkers, however, Liam had a last-minute meeting with the hotel's general manager. "You look beautiful, Misses Wright,"

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
