"Misses Walker, we would like to get your full statement, including how you met Mister Walker and then how it all connected to Maddison Buck," the detective requested, and Charlene nodded. She looked past the officer and saw Charlotte get up. "I'll leave you to it, Mother. Liam and I will wait for you outside," Charlotte said, exiting the room. Charlene understood that her daughter did not want to hear about how her relationship formed with Jeremy. It almost broke Charlene's heart, but she knew it was Charlotte's way of not dwelling on the past. When she was alone with the detective, Charlene began, "Okay, so. Jeremy. I met him because of work. I used to be an account manager for an office supply company. Jeremy, at that time, attempted to penetrate Braeton. He was new and needed a whole package of office supplies and equipment. I landed his account - rather, I must have impressed him that he accepted my offer." "Our relationship was purely professional. I met Jeremy only when w

It took a few days before Jeremy finally admitted to kidnapping Maddison. He was presented with all the evidence, including Mark Deepre's statement that his lawyers had suggested that he plead guilty to all the charges. Charlotte and Liam watched a recording of his statement from Braeton City one evening. Charlene joined them in the living room of Liam's home. Through the huge TV monitor, they listened to what he had to say. Jeremy said, "All I wanted was to have Charlene." "I fell in love with her at first sight, but I held back because she was married. Even after she confided in me, I tried not to interfere, but I hated how she cried - how she was in pain. I thought to myself, if I was going to take care of Charlene, I would never hurt her this way," he explained. "So I allowed myself to get close to her until my feelings grew deeper; it was too late to turn back. I confessed how I liked her, but she said she wanted to fix her marriage. When she told me that DNA testing wou

"I have a favor to ask," Charlene asked. She fiddled with her fingers before requesting, "I don't have a lot of money, so I can only request this of you." "What is it, Mother?" Charlotte asked. Early in the morning, Charlotte was rushing to the living room because she was going to take a flight to Swaxon and go straight to the office with Chadwick. She found her mother waiting for her. Charlene's eyes were puffed, and it looked like she had been crying overnight. "I was wondering if you could help renovate our old home. No one has lived there for years, and It could use a lot of help. I'd like to live there so I can be closer to your father - visit him now and then. I probably will get a part-time job," Charlene said. "Do you want father's remains to be shipped to Swaxon?" Charlotte asked. "I've always wanted to do that." "No, maybe not now," she said. "Besides, you are planning to occasionally stay here in Braeton." Charlotte only nodded. A tear fell down Charlene's face a

"Are you ready, Charlotte?" Pete asked while offering a hug. He opened his arms to her, saying, "I'm glad we can move on from Maddison, Victoria, and Jeremy. With that out of the way, you can focus on being the next CEO." Charlotte hugged Pete tightly. When she let go, she smiled and described, "Thank you, Grandpa. I would be such a mess if I still had to worry about Maddison naming you a kidnapper." She chuckled and said, "I'm glad it's over." "Your grandma and I are even more glad that Paul's name was cleared. You and Liam did a good job," Pete acknowledged. Charlotte found Chadwick smiling behind Pete, and she had to recognize him too. She said, "I would not have done it without Chadwick, Nora, Rudy, and the lawyers. So thanks to them too." She checked the time, and seeing it was five minutes to seven, she said, "We have to go, Grandpa. I'll update you tonight." "Bye, Grandma!" Charlotte called, seeing Cecile walk out the door to wave goodbye. "I love you both!" Since Jerem

"Coffee, Miss Strauss?" A man in his early fifties said. Charlotte learned that this was Drew Richard, Aiden's father. "No, thank you," Charlotte said. "Water will be fine." She watched as Drew left for the kitchen to get her and Chadwick a glass of water. Then Aiden asked, "So, Miss Strauss, how did you know I was the one who created DuraPay?" Could she say that she knew the future? Of course, she couldn't. Thus, Charlotte created an impromptu answer, "I know somebody, who knows somebody, who overheard somebody at the Glaco Corporation and hinted that an intern was the one who created the software. Only that no one would dare question the supervisor who introduced it as his - yeah, that's right." Charlotte nodded as if trying to convince herself. She described, "It was a long list of hearsay from another hearsay, that I couldn't quite say who it was." From the corner of her eye, Charlotte saw Chadwick frown. He probably knew she was lying. He was her constant companion, after

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Strauss. I only have Aiden's best interest in mind. Talented young developers should not be taken advantage of. Instead, we should pave the way for them to make great inventions," Edward Webner said. He smiled and added, "And, of course, I hope to beat Glaco in the tech industry." It made Charlotte consider. After all, this man did help Aiden in her first life. It meant he wasn't that bad at all. To evaluate Edward's plans, she asked, "Do you plan to help him file a case against Glaco?" "Yes, but my lawyers are still busy at the moment. We had a recent case against one of our suppliers, which is still in dispute," Edward revealed. "It will take around four to six months to have that cleared." "I think that's too long. By then, Glaco would have already sold hundreds of licenses for DuraPay," Charlotte said. "Many companies will suffer for their negligence. I can offer a better solution for Aiden and his software's potential users." In Charlotte's past life,

"A healthy work environment starts with a healthy mind and body. So, let's exercise," Charlotte said before one HR associate turned on the music, and everyone began to dance. After taking over HR, one of Charlotte's first initiatives was to run a health drive within the company. She had announced a Zumba class every five in the afternoon. Aside from health reasons, her other goal was to create a good relationship with other departments. Their office building had a spacious lobby. Thus, Charlotte converted part of the lobby for their dance area. As they danced, Charlotte turned to the groups of employees. Seeing them form their groups, she encouraged them, "Mix it up, guys! Why is IT with IT and admin with admin? Get to know each other's fine asses. Come on!" "Miss Strauss. I did not know you have a funny side!" One remarked. Charlotte chuckled. She suggested, "Beyond the office, I am also cool. Like you guys, I am also human." "She is the coolest boss ever!" Ming announced.

Liam hissed. When Charlotte awoke, she acted so surprised. Sure, he tied her in bed, but she was already naked when he found her asleep. She could deny it, but he knew her well. His wife was already expecting her well-deserved punishment. "Liam, I've been a bad wife. Punish me," she described. Charlotte tried to get up, but the material around her hands kept her from sitting up. She couldn't bend her knees with how he spread her legs wide enough, and her ankles were also restrained. He watched in amusement as Charlotte struggled to move. Her slender frame was wiggling in bed. Her pinkish and naked peach was entirely on display for him to appreciate. 'God, my wife is beautiful,' he mused. He slowly took off his clothes. When he was completely bare, flaunting his well-sculpted body, Charlotte gasped. She said, "Please, let's get this over with." Climbing up the bed, he let his hands feel her legs and thighs. He felt the softness of her skin as he asked in his deep and sexy voice

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
