The scent of Lily and the donuts mixed with the air around her. Charlotte sits next to the gravestones of her parents who are graved here for twenty years but she had no idea. The caretaker of the penthouse that her grandma owned secretly brought her late parents and buried them in the Hay yard behind the house.Biting the donut that she brought along with the flower bouquet, she smiles bitterly. The smile highlights her loneliness. Detailed the sadness with its half-hearted smile.Her eyes go to the name on the stone, Anna Milestone. Her Mom's name. They all have classical names. She doesn't know but seems like everyone in her family has old names. Her father is Elijah Milestone. Chugging the beer she brought with the donuts, she rests her head on her folded hand over her knees. Staring at the gravestones blankly, she keeps silent for a while until her lips part away with a word-forming silently.“ Why am I so unlucky when it comes to love? From childhood to now, all I wanted is lov
“ She hasn't returned. Shayne! I told you to stop doing this. Now, we lost both sides." Hearing Grandpa's calm voice, Shayne hangs her head down. The prosecutor who filed the case against her is really strong and uncompromising. Lots of times, she tried to contact him. But eventually failed, as she got no idea who it is.“ Grandpa! We have lost everything. Why? My father was innocent. He was just working for them under pressure. How-"“ Don't forget you had us. Shayne. We have lied repeatedly to the girl who was happy to hear, she got a family. I regret now!" “ Grandpa! Please. Everyone says the same when it comes to her. Why do you like her that much? It's not my fault that she lost everything. I did lose as well. Why nobody understands me?" Her grandpa heaves a sigh. Shayne's obsession with winning everything that she wants is undeniably dangerous. She has been planning everything, every single thing to get the property under her name. It's an exchange for her father's Dead. Not
A few days later.“ You lied to us. Even about the relationship between your grandparents. Shayne! How could you do this to Charlotte who trusted you?” Edward lost his calm posture against her selfish behavior. Lying everything like it's a simple matter, is indeed unforgivable. ” C'mon! Edward! Do you think you are less than me? You used her to replace your first love because she reminded you about Lisa. Didn't she? Now look at yourself. You brought Lisa back home shamelessly!" She sniggers standing up.“ You should know that you are the most hated one among us. I was just a stranger who gave her a false DNA report for the property. But what about you? You lied about everything to get a perfect replacement for your first love!" She added.“ Shut up. Don't twist the truth, Shayne. I'm not you and I know how to respect a relationship. Anyway, It's not worth arguing with you. Since everything is messed up. I will mess up your life as well. Shayne. Just watch and see " Shayne watches E
Edward looks at Lisa who is storming inside while asking for caramel pudding. Not only does she throw away the pudding that the servant brought for her, but also she demands that she will eat it once Edward brings it for her.“ Stop this damn thing, Lisa. You are going back to your parents once you are treated. I am not playing with your game." Edward roars slamming the door loudly. Lisa who thought, he would feel guilty and do whatever she wanted, looked at him with anger. “ Let me in your bedroom. Let me replace that woman's everything with mine. You will start loving me. Edward! You love me. Only me. And I will make you love me like you used to do."She mutters with a smirk, touching his face. No matter what she can't let anyone else take this man away.“ Dream on. I will fix your body since I broke it. Don't think that it's your heart that I broke. I know everything about you, Lisa. Even the design!" Pushing her to stay away from him, he sits on the couch with a smirk.He feels be
” Do you have any photos of our parents?” In shorts and a t-shirt, Joshua comes out of his room with his wallet. Charlotte who is chewing gummy bears, nods while checking her belongings..“ Send me their photos. I wanna see who abandoned me after bringing me into this shitty world!" He said and grabbed two gummies from her.“ You really know how to hold grudges. They died before we even could Walk. Something had happened and we need to find out. Now let's go. I am hungry!" She said pushing him towards the door.“ But! Why can't we just order food? I don't want to go out. Those crazy fans and paparazzi everywhere!" He whines unlocking the door of his car.“ C'mon! Someone was so excited yesterday to celebrate something and now he is withering. Are you an old man? Let's go. I wanna eat something spicy!" She said hopping in. Joshua sighs. But he is happy to see Charlotte being brightened up. She has been staying gloomy all day long. “ Where do you want to go? Chinatown? Or Local stre
“ 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
Sometimes, An unpredictable incident can bring something blissful in someone's life. Some nightmares can show you the road to the dream, a beautiful dream when miracles happen. When her eyes met him, she didn't know that the love she had in her heart well-protected for Brian, would fade away. She never felt attracted toward anyone else after loving Brian. But when her eyes met his, she felt something different. Different than loving Brian, and waiting for him to come back to her and marry her.There was trust, a feeling of faithfulness, and love. Her heart screamed, she looked at the right one who will love her no matter what.Her heart accepted him, mentally, although she had a shock to see the person who was in front of her in the wheelchair.Something crossed her mind. It was, she is going to be the best wife. She doesn't care about his physical appearance.Probably, because her fate was connected with her, she was meant to love him, despite everything. Bad or Good. Worst or best.
“ Keep investigating the truth between Shayne's parents and Charlotte's parents. How did they kill themselves? Don't make another mistake." Having a cup of coffee only as his breakfast, he keeps pushing himself to learn about the truth. Shayne's words don't make sense. The way, she lied, he can't believe that Charlotte's parents would kill them. There has another story that is still folded. He needs to know about it.After all, he knows Charlotte in every aspect. He knows how much she can overthink everything. She won't feel better until she doesn't learn about the truth. She will force herself to believe or accept that her parents did something.And, Edward will never let it happen. He will be the one who will think about her past, her present, and her future. He will love all of her problems so that she can live the life, she deserves. “ Edward!" he turned back when he hears a masculine voice behind him.” Joshua!" ” Good morning. How is Charlotte?" He sat next to him and asked i
“ She is still sleeping?" Mrs. Rodriguez places the food containers on the low table before sitting next to Edward. Edward has been here with her since last night. She hasn't woken up yet because of her weak body.” Mmm.." “ Let's have breakfast. You should stay strong!" “ I don't have an appetite. I will have it later, Mom!" “ You didn't have your dinner last night. It's not good for your health. Son. You need to be strong for her.” “ I know! I will have breakfast later! Don't worry about it." Mrs. Rodriguez has nothing but to sigh. Police have taken the case seriously after Andrew and his father talked to them. Lisa has been arrested and Shayne is still on the run. She will be arrested anytime soon.And that's it. Shayne could do nothing or, but surely left a fear, a scar on his heart that if she is around, Charlotte will always be in danger.He can't let her do anything until he sees her behind the bar, rotting, dying with regret. His rough and dry lips touch her cold hand,
” Please! Edward! You can't do something like this no matter what! Think about Charlotte. What if she wakes up and learns that you have done something unforgivable? I beg you! Stay calm for a second. She needs you now!" Seeing how, Edward ordered his guards to bring Shayne, Mrs. Rodriguez couldn't help stopping her son with her might. The enraged Edward can even kill someone, she is aware of this. And no matter what she doesn't want to see him repeat himself with the same anger that he did when he was in high school. The calm, quiet Edward can cross his limit and it can bring disaster, she is perfectly aware of this.“ Mom! I beg you. Don't stop. You don't know what I am feeling now. I have lost her once, I thought maybe I would have to end up dying without her. That's why I trained those Stupid people, I spent millions of dollars to get an advanced security system. Yet, they failed. And everything happened because of that bitch. Mom! Everything is moving, fading inward, making me br
Two hours ago.Edward was in a meeting with his directors and other clients to solve the problem ASAP. However, the corner of his heart constantly stinging with silent pain. Even the employees were obvious to notice his uneasiness.“ Boss! Are you okay?" Joy said in a low tone. Edward's legs were shaking which was obvious to his nervousness out of nowhere.“ I am fine," Edward said and concentrated on the files until everyone's attention went to the door when it opened.Edward's eyes also followed the sound of the door opening and his eyebrows knitted with confusion when a familiar figure entered the meeting room.“ Boss. Ms. Shayne Smith will attend the meeting as our client! She is now the chairwoman of BLK corporate!" His secretary informed ushering Shayne on her way to her seat. Watching everyone's expression change into shock drastically, a smirk played on her lips. “ Hi! I am Shayne Smith. Who just bought the BLK corporate? Although my company has small contribution to this h
“ Don't you want to go to work out? You have matches a few days later. Stop lazing around!" Charlotte kicks his leg while watching movies together with Joshua. Rolling his eyes, he just keeps shoving the popcorn in his mouth and enjoying the movie. Charlotte sighs lying down on the couch while kicking her legs in the air.“ Stop doing this! You are disturbing me!" He complaints. “ It's so boring. Let's watch a horror movie! Ughh!! I miss my cutie husband. He would have brought me Ice cream and let me watch a horror movie!" She said wailing fakely while disturbing Joshua in every way possible.Joshua sighs in retort and stands up..“ Should I call your cutie husband and tell him that you ate ten Ice creams and don't dare to go to the washroom after watching the face of the ghost?" Her mouth zipped as she starts playing with her fingers, from time to time, glancing at Joshua who is done with her mood swings.“ C'mon! You can't just make your sister's reputation bad to your brother-in-
Placing the bouquet on the nightstand, A warm smile spreads over his face as he notices Charlotte is sleeping curling into a ball. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his hand reaches out to her head. Gently stroking, he removes the strand of hair which is covering her half of face.Wiping the droplet of sweat on the nose, he kisses her forehead, admiring her sleeping beauty. “ So beautiful!” he whispered admiring her oily face, the messy hair, and the heavy breath which caresses the pillow that she is hugging.Lying down next to her, he chuckles softly seeing how she is burying her face on his pillow. ” An adorable kitten!" Pulling her into his embrace, he gives another peck on her forehead. It gives him the happiness that makes him fulfilled and satisfied with the life he is leading. His cold hand goes to her lower abdomen, he caresses the invisible baby while burying his face on her neck.But because of his movement, Charlotte turns toward him, slowly opening her eyes. Since she is
Next day.“ Boss. Someone sent two billion dollars into our company's fund. We couldn't able to find the sender's information!”Edward's eyes go to Joy who storms inside. Stop penning down to the files, he gives his attention to Joy properly to understand what he just said.“ What are you talking about?" Edward asked to confirm what he heard.“ Someone sent two billion dollars into our company's fund. No information about sender!" he repeats the same line.Two creases appeared between his eyebrows. Nobody knows about this information since he kept it secret from everyone except for Joy. Even there has no thought to tell about it to his parents. He doesn't want them to feel pressured by this matter.” Don't use it until you find any information. Someone can set another trap by this. We will handle it by ourselves!" He said closing the files. What he hates more is owing to someone. Since the sender is trying to keep their identity close. He doesn't want to bring trouble just for this cr
“ I will be there as soon as possible!" Edward hangs up on his mother when she called him in the early morning. Charlotte's eyes open with a frown when she hears Edward talking with someone.His expression shows concern about something which forced her to ask what happened.” Someone set fire to our fabric storehouse. I need to go. You stay here. My guards will be here until I return. And, I will take you home!" he said grabbing the shirt and planting a kiss on her forehead. Charlotte gets up in a hurry and tenses about it ”Shall I come with you?" “ No. You better stay here until I return. And don't worry about it so much!"Giving an assuring smile, he walks out with big steps. Charlotte's eyebrows knitted with sadness. Somehow her instinct is telling her, she knows who did it but she wants to shrug. They won't go that extreme. Wearing her pajamas, she walks out and looks down to the lobby where she can see Edward rushing out. Somehow, her heart is being on uneasiness. She doesn't
