Charlotte has been sitting on the bench at the park inside the nursing homes. The tense expression overall on her face shows that she is having trouble with something. A heavy sigh rolls out of her mouth, forcing herself to take a deep breath before visiting the director of the orphanage.It's been three hours she is waiting for the director but he has no sign to return here. Taking her purse and the files, she decided to take a look around the orphanage. She has talked to a few old people and noted down their personal information. Somehow, she finds herself doing something illegal. invading someone's personal information is not good.Thinking, she walks behind the garden. The nursing home has a pretty good sight to enjoy. Not far away, there has a woods. The weather is nice to walk around.As she walks towards the backyard, she hears a soft chuckle from two people. The laughter sound belongs to a man and a woman. Placing the phone in her purse, she walks slowly with quiet steps since
“ Mommy! I want to eat Chocolate cake. Shall we make it together?” Suzy enters the bedroom with small steps, holding her favorite chocolates. Charlotte has been lying down on the bed after returning home with Edward.Noticing her mental situation, Edward couldn't help canceling all the meetings and sent Suzy to help her mood better.“ Cake?” She replies weakly. The somber expression on her face is screaming her sadness. The past of her was never remarkable. It was painful and disgusting. “ Yes. I want to learn how to bake a cake and Momma should be my teacher!”. She places a soft kiss on her Mom's cheek, smiling. Charlotte couldn't able to stay still. Getting up, her hands reach to Suzy's face. Cupping her face, Charlotte brushes her nose against the tip of her nose. “ Then I will teach my daughter to bake a beautiful cake today!”“ Yehhh! I will be in your care mommy!” She giggles jumping around. Charlotte sighs, thinking she shouldn't mind her past and live for the future. All the d
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
