“ What? Are you going to give up on chasing her? Or it's just you can't understand that you should have an obedient wife or a hot wife like Lisa!" Carlos Marquez, Edward's one of best friends who hasn't met Charlotte face to face, scoffs hopping in the car. Edward's attention from the Cab which took Charlotte away, shifted away from it to Carlos who is mocking him.“ Watch your words. Who was that boy with her? Find it right now!" He said almost growling. He saw Charlotte hurriedly hopping in the cab with another person as soon as he followed her. He waited even though bodyguards were split away to search for her everywhere.“ Since, she found another man, Why waste time on her? Let go. We don't -”His lips immediately press against each other with fear when Edward raises his hand with a formed fist. The anger rushes through his veins as his best friend carelessly spouts nonsense.“ Never talk about letting go. Even if she brings a hundred men, she has to return to me!" His eyes fo
Stretching her arms around, she slowly walks towards the bathroom after waking up, not realizing where she is.Out of habit, she hasn't realized that she was supposed not to be here and in the room where she never wanted to return after running away.Her eyes are half opened with pain all over her body. Her hand reaches her forehead to check her temperature as if she is used to having a fever and she doesn't care more about this.However, when her eyes shift to the reflection of her face, when she notices the nightgown she is wearing and the couple brush, she used when she was with Edward, the reality strikes in her mind.She looks around, a loud gasp escapes and she rushes out of the bathroom.“ You done? How are you feeling now? Well, The fever is down greatly. Love!" Her eyes couldn't reach the towered body of Edward who was gently pressing his back palm against her forehead and checking the Temperature. Even he didn't leave to compare the temperature between his and hers. “ Shall
Her once bright and loving gaze transforms into a seething glare at Edward, brimming with resentment and disdain. “ You are hurting me, Edward. She came back. You should stop hurting me like this!" Her gentle voice carries a biting edge, dripping the venom of shattered trust.” Stop! I told you to understand. Let me explain.!" Edward shuts her, almost pleading. “ She is here. She is calling me another woman. On top of that, you bring me here when your mistress is living with you. That's too much, Edward. That's not funny!"The weight of his endless deception has etched deep lines of anguish onto her delicate face. Letting her live a moment of pain and hatred together.“ Please! I don't like her. Please, try to understand me. She is here for a while. She will be returned as soon as the month ends." His hands wrapped around her neck, gently stroking her cheeks to get her to calm down.“ Charlotte! Look at me. Look into my eyes. I swear, I swear to God that I don't have a damn thing for
Lisa is sent to another room from the room which is situated right opposite direction of Edward's room to the corner room on the third floor after Charlotte accepted his apology. Although Lisa wanted to start messing with them, Edward's sternness made her obey him right away. So, that at least Charlotte doesn't feel pressured. Anyway, in the evening, When he is busy with his bunches of files to sign, his eyes go to the door. A soft smile plays on his lips. Turning off the laptop, he stands up.“ Do you need something?" He asks Charlotte who is looking at him awkwardly. Her eyes are here and there but not on him.“ Um. Well. The thing is that. The purse that you stole from the table yesterday, has only my passport. My cards and phone are still in my penthouse. So, well. "“ You want to go back to bring them? Well, I didn't steal your purse though" He asked raising his eyebrows. Even the word leave can shake his heart, giving a touch of terror.“ No. That's not it. I mean. Can I borrow
“ He is a scam, isn't he?” Edward raises his one of eyebrows while locking her in his embrace. ” He said he has done multiple surgeries on his face!" “ Charlotte! He is a little slow. How did you marry such a guy? For his look or money?" Getting close to Charlotte who is playing with Edward's fingers, Joshua whispers.“ For his look, obviously! Who would have married such an idiot person?" “ I can hear you, guys. Stop this and speaks truthfully. Charlotte! What if he is lying like Shayne!" he pulls her more away from Joshua, giving him a death glare.“You are squeezing me to death. Wanna get killed?" she spoke pushing his arms but Edward has no plans to let her go.“ It's okay. As you know, I quite know about that Shayne who lied about being our sister. Anyway, I don't have any reason to lie since I have zero interest in our parents' property. So, you can rest assured!" He said.“ But Mr. Rodriguez. Me being here has a very significant reason. I will be here for a while until I can
Edward's eyes are on her, watching her with his deepest desire. Not gonna lie to himself, he went crazy, no crazier once, he had realized that Charlotte is a girl who won't ask for an explanation neither will bother you. She will silently disappear without making you feel regret and guilt.And it's dangerous. He doesn't even dare to do a slight mistake to keep her by his side. Never, had he had the same thought even when he lost Lisa. He mourned, he was in agony and hostility towards himself that he couldn't able to protect her. However, he had no thought that he can't live without her.But, for one second, when he found the ring on the nightstand and something hit his senses that Charlotte has left him. His heart screamed, saying it can't live without her around him. Even her presence must be needed to live.Now, he is feeling nothing but euphoria. Everything looks beautiful as long as she is next to him. The ceiling two days ago felt like a barrier is now shining with the chandelier
“Hello?" Her sleepy voice resounds annoyance and confusion as she receives a call in the morning, waiting for a response from the opposite side.“ Your voice sounds sexy. Had a good sleep?" the person replies.“ Yeah. Thanks to you, now it's disturbed." Her eyes still shut with an irritated frown.“ Sounds angry. How are you, Charlotte? It's been a while since we met!" Now Her eyes opened with furrowed eyebrows. She checked the caller ID but got no information in her brain about it.“ Who is that?" She asked getting up slowly“ We met before. Did you forget? On the subway!" “ What subway?" she questioned out of confusion“ C'mon! Charlotte! You are hurting me." The voice gets deeper and creepier.” I don't know what you are talking about. But I don't have time for this. Thank you!" She said almost hanging up on him.“ I am watching you, Charlotte. Hope we meet soon. Anyway, Isn't your husband Edward Rodriguez? He has a meeting with JK Company today." Now, Charlotte's brain sent her
“ You should have come to me directly after this brat made you feel bad. I would have taught him a lesson." Mrs. Rodriguez glared at her son and holds Charlotte's hands with care and love. After knowing that, Charlotte left Edward because of his being with another woman. She confronted him despite being his mother.She can't take the side of her cheating son who did something immoral. But she knew that Edward can never do something. At least he would have a solid reason for doing such a thing. And she kept waiting until the Truth unfold.“ It's okay. Mom. I should have asked for an explanation as well. I didn't think properly and acted out." She replied, smiling at Edward.” I know. I know. Stop being so loving wife. He is going to get punishment for everything anyway. But Butler said there has some happy news. I didn't understand what it is. Can you tell me now?" His mother asks not exactly knowing. Edward informed Butler only about this matter.“ Well, Mom.." Edward holds her han
