"Sorry, Charlotte! This may not be the best timing, but I’ve decided your little sister will replace you as the Mistress of the Hawks family!" Charlotte's heart sinks as her father's words reverberate through the room. A hollow feeling spreads through her chest. Her biological parents—her own flesh and blood—want to give her half-sister the life she had always been promised. Charlotte Milestone, the eldest daughter of the Milestone family, is seen by everyone as a princess born with a golden spoon. But beneath the façade of luxury and privilege, she feels more like Cinderella. Her younger sister, Rachel, is four years her junior and a constant reminder of their mother’s betrayal. Their mother had cheated on their father, and when Rachel’s father—her mother's lover—died in a tragic accident, Charlotte’s father took their mother back out of misguided love. Rachel’s arrival changes everything. Charlotte gradually becomes an outsider in her own home. Her parents’ neglect grows more appa
" Stupid!!" Her slurry voice echoes the dressing room where she is changing her dress for her wedding. What is going to happen in the next few minutes? She has completed her makeup and now she is going to wear the dress. She looks at the wedding gown that is sent from the Rodriguez family for her to wear. Seeing the dress, her heart fills with sudden uncertain feelings. This is the latest model from the Rodriguez fashion design department that was launched last week in an international fashion show. The dress hasn't been launched in the market yet. However, She wanted to join the fashion show but she is just a normal employee so she wasn't able to. " How lucky you are!! sister! You are wearing the dress that I have ordered with Brian for our wedding..." Rachel says hostilely, showing how unhappy she is with Charlotte for having the dress she desires. However, Charlotte is surprised to see how comfortable Rachel is after stealing her man. Even showing off her tummy which isn
The wedding has been finished avoiding procrastination. The guests are excusing themselves after congratulating them on their happy marriage. Most of the guests look so satisfied with the wedding since it was wholesome seeing the bride and groom in beautiful collaboration. As f they are lovebirds who will never let their hands go.Charlotte is standing clutching her dress a little tightly. From the crowd, She can see her husband who is looking charming and classy with his gorgeous expensive suit. It would be a lie if she denies that he did captivate her so badly. His soft expression with no ruthlessness and his deep voice with a distinct flirt can shake her wounded heart which needs to heal. " He is handsome. Sadly, he won't be able to make you happy, I feel sorry for you, Sister!" Charlotte comes around from her thought when Rachel whispers mockingly. She sounds envious yet in a tone of mock." But It's fine. Control him. He has nothing but a crippled man who doesn't have anything. H
The car is heading towards the Rodriguez family Mansion. Edward has his own private Villa on the outskirts of the city. But today, He needs to bring his wife to his parent's house to visit his father who has returned after critical surgery. Right now, Edward's eyes are on Charlotte. He finds the girl admirable. The beautiful white gown he designed for his company is looking utterly dashing on her. He canceled all the orders from the customers today who ordered this wedding dress. He didn't even miss making it more special and beautiful by redesigning its upper part. However, He doesn't know the girl very well in front of him who accepted him as her husband. He only knows her name. Even though, his secretary Jay told him that he can get all information about her. But he wants to know everything personally. Wants to discover the person who never complains about her suffering. " Is there something you want to say?"Edward looks a little surprised when Charlotte asks him. She is still r
Nothing.She feels nothing but a new feeling with exquisiteness in her heart. Seeing her beloved is looking at another woman with such gentlest eyes, The cold man she has been treating for years, is looking like a cotton candy that will melt if another woman touches his face. The pain isn't getting on her nerves but the hatred towards the other woman who stole her long-time crush. She has been doing everything to keep him by her side but now that woman is here to steal himself away.Shayne's hands form a fist, digging her nails into her palms, She is extremely disappointed, mad, and upset. Her eyes are glossy but her lips are being crushed by her teeth in anger. I need to do something to get rid of this girl. She doesn't deserve my Eddie ' She walks towards Mrs Rodriguez who is helping Charlotte to walk downstairs, Her bottom part of the dress is no joke to carry. There have lots of gemstones on the hemline which makes the dress more heavier.Shayne grits enviously, She witnessed Edwa
With the steam coming out of the coffee, two cups are lazily placed on the wooden table on the porch. Charlotte drags a chair out and helps Edward. She sometimes thinks about him being able to stand up. He may look like a superstar who will be enthusiastically admired by lots of women. " Have the coffee. Auntie Zara's coffee is the best!" Holding the cup of coffee, He is watching Charlotte sitting on the chair. Her brown hair is playing with the wind, she sometimes stops them tucking them behind her ear. She is looking so beautiful at this cold nightfall." Shall we start talking?" With an affiliate smile, she looks at Edward who is silently sipping his coffee. He nods placing the cup in its previous place. " It's. Let's hear from you first. About the matter with your sister, about that..your Fiancé, Who is that?"Charlotte wasn't ready to be asked this question. She wanted to have a little more time, to be honest with the person who is her husband now. Because she is insecure that s
As the morning sun brightens the room, Charlotte opens her eyes. Unlike her regular morning, Today she is a little surprised. Her leg is on his belly, her head on his shoulder, She is embracing him like a koala bear. Stunned by her posture, She looks at Edward who is sleeping, his face is too close to her that she can feel his soft breath hitting her head. The light on his face is making him more charming. Like a dream guy in every girl's dream.She slowly frees herself from his grip. But A smile appears on her lips. Today she won't have to worry about her parent's food. No matter what it was really hard for her to handle the Job and house chores all alone by herself. She gets off the bed and enters the washroom. Staring at herself for quite a while, She sighs heavily. She can't think that she is married now not only that Married to her Idol's son. But a certain thing is clear. She is not feeling the pressure on her head as she used to carry around. She feels refreshed and relive. Gi
Charlotte has never imagined her first day of married life would give her such an unimaginable scandal. Most importantly, She is having a hard time with the glance of her in-laws who are thinking that she is the ex-girlfriend of her brother-in-law who abandoned her kid.From time to time, while waiting for her brother-in-law, she is stealing a glance at her husband who is hard to read. He is calm and quiet. But her heart sinks in deep agony when her husband didn't even look at her once. She grips her dress and inhales deeply to hold herself from crying. Now All she can do is wait for her brother-in-law who can help her out of this situation.After two hours of hell-like waiting. A servant opens the door for the man who Enters with a poker face. But with his breathing style, he might have hurriedly come back as soon as possible." Brother! Why did you want to meet me so suddenly?"Charlotte's eyes go on the man, She knows him, the famous actor who has received multiple international mo
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
