Next day.“ Despite being a wife of Rodriguez, You must need to have the ability to show your power when people dare to raise their voice against you for no reason, Mrs. Rodriguez!”The mother of Edward, Mistress of Rodriguez talks calmly yet with a stern voice while sipping the coffee. After getting to know that, some old classmate bullied her. She is now furious and ordered to look for that girl who dared to do. She didn't take the time to come here and meet Charlotte since Charlotte is going to be the next Mrs. Rodriguez soon. She needs to learn her place and the power she holds.Charlotte hanging her head down, listens to her with a solemn face. When it comes to her past, she is weak and sensitive. People may think she has no strength to defend herself but her root for defending herself has been destroyed when she was a kid, by her mother. She finds herself unable to adapt to the people around her.“ I am sorry, Mom. ” she apologizes knowing she can do nothing for her past. She is
Don't you have friends?' This question got her attention when she silently designed a beautiful ring, in her sketchbook. Her almond eyes glistened with the fallen afternoon's orange sunlight, gazing down at the girl who was looking at her profoundly. At that time, she wondered how could a person look so perfect.The afternoon's soft cooling wind danced with her hair, Her head unintentionally shook twice. “ I don't have.” She replied with no thoughts on this. The girl was undeniably gorgeous, the friendly face got her attention significantly. “ Then I will be your friend from now on!”“ Charlotte! CHARLOTTE!”. She gasps returning to reality when she hears someone calling her name multiple times, and shook her shoulder gently. She turns, gazing at Edward who just returned. “ You have returned. Sorry! I was thinking something!” She said glancing at the analog clock on the wall. It's past 9. Edward returned late today. She stands up, giving Edward space to go inside his changing room. Sh
“ What are you mixing in the coffee? Linda!” The servant startles, listening to the head servant's footsteps approaching her. She hurriedly slide her hand in the pocket, before facing the head servant. “Nothing. Sister. I was trying to make a cup of coffee for myself!”The narrowed eyes scan the servant, then looks at the coffee mug. “ You better not dare to do something. This house has cameras everywhere!”“ Ahh!” She jumps up with a scream when Linda's hand accidentally touched the edge of the mug and it shattered on the floor with sound. Some of the hot coffee fell on her foot. “ What the hell do you think you are doing? Go back to your work!”Linda gulps down, nodding constantly. The house has cameras. She doesn't have any idea. Hurriedly stepping out of the Villa, She dialed a number. Until the phone gets connected with the person she is expecting, She sits down on the bench. “ Dr. Shayne is speaking. Who is this?” Linda's tongue runs over her dry lips, before inhaling sharply.
“I will buy it for Suzy! You can rest in the car now.” after shopping few clothes, Charlotte speaks to Edward who is just trying his best to understand what he did wrong. She is avoiding him as much as she can. “ I am fine.” He insists on joining her. She sighed walking towards the children's wear, but Edward stopped her once again. “ Did something happen that made you upset?” Charlotte now looks at him. An invisible wall, definitely there has between them. However, she can't understand why she is getting so upset about it. She should know that everyone has their personal life. They are not like real couples who can know everything about themselves. “ No. I am fine. Let's go.” She said glancing at him once. Edward gives a tight-lipped smile, before following her. “ Shouldn't we buy a gift for your sister?” Attempting to get a conversation with her, he asked. Charlotte clenches her jaw, looking inside the shop..“ I don't think I want to give her something. She doesn't deserve it.”“
“So, you’ve been taking some wrong medicine without notifying me?” A soft voice whispers while reviewing the report again. The voice belongs to a girl the same age as Charlotte. Charlotte frowns, tilting her head quizzically—she has never taken anything besides her prescribed medication. “I don’t think I’ve taken any other medicine. Explain,” she asks, stretching her mouth and raising her eyebrows. Her friend’s words don’t make sense. Sandra Portia, a gynecologist and physiologist, is Charlotte’s one and only confidante. Sandra knows everything about Charlotte—her life at home, how Brian betrayed her, and about her husband, Edward Rodriguez. Overall, she knows everything Charlotte wants her to know. Now, putting the reports aside, Sandra turns her full attention to her best friend, who is also her regular patient. She intertwines her hands, her expression serious. Charlotte braces herself. “Look, we found a significant amount of cocaine in your blood. Since I know you wouldn’t take
As Edward wheels into his bedroom, he finds Charlotte nodding off, with a magazine resting on her chest. She looks exhausted and pale. He moves closer to her and gently rubs the middle of her eyebrows to help her relax before carefully placing her head on the pillow. The moonlight dances across her sleepy, calm face in slow motion. “You are the same as her. Pure and beautiful,” he whispers, gazing at the moon that shines on the world along with Charlotte's beautiful face. A sharp exhale leaves a bitter expression on his face, and a heaviness shrouds his heart. He wheels outside, stopping before the garden. “Edward! This garden is a sign of our unconditional love. We will shower in moonlight every month. Promise!” Edward’s lips curve into a sweet smile as he recalls those words, replaying the scenes of a girl enjoying the moonlight, dancing under it, making promises that were never fulfilled, and loving him unconditionally. “I still miss you, my Moonshine,” he says softly, clenching
The hall room is splendidly decorated. The wedding will take place at a nearby church, close to the House of Milestones. The Hawks family has agreed to hold the wedding luxuriously yet traditionally, as their family follows deep-rooted traditions. The after-wedding party and other festivities will be held at Milestone’s Villa. Rachel checks herself in the mirror, touching the necklace Brian gifted her. She feels proud to be the wife of a millionaire who doesn't hesitate to spend money on her. “What a heaven I’ve found,” she exclaims, giving a soft chuckle. However, her eyes catch the reflection of a certain person standing by the door, holding a child’s hand. Fury flares up in her eyes as she notices the appearance of the girl. How could she look more beautiful than Rachel, who is supposed to be the most gorgeous lady here? Anger surges through her as she gasps, her jealousy rising. She stands up, planting a fake bright smile on her face before heading toward the girl. “Sister! You’
“Cupcake, I’m so sorry for being late. Did you miss Dad?” Charlotte gasps awake as the wind brushes against her face. She starts hyperventilating, trying desperately to recall the voice from her dream. Who called her Cupcake? Who was late? She questions herself while feeling the scorching heat beneath her skin. She rubs at it and groans in silent pain. “Charlotte! Don’t rub your skin!” A shout makes her flinch, halting her movements. She looks down at herself, realizing her entire body is red with rashes. Confused, she glances up at her best friend, who is holding her hand with concern. “What’s wrong with me? Why am I here?” she asks, lying down on her bed in Edward’s villa. “You fainted, and Edward brought you here. I was at the wedding too, thanks to my parents forcing me to go. I think it was for the best.” Sandra places a wet tissue on Charlotte’s hand, pressing it lightly. “Anyway, Charlotte, what did you eat today?” She asks with a serious tone. Charlotte tilts her head, sti
