"Excuse me!" A lady taps Charlotte on the shoulder as she retouches her makeup after an hour of training. Charlotte turns to see a woman in her mid-twenties with a troubled expression, fidgeting nervously. Charlotte smiles and nods, silently encouraging her to speak. Seeing Charlotte's silent approval, the woman hesitantly approaches her. "Well, um, do you have any pads? I mean, sanitary pads with you?" The woman asks while clutching her lower abdomen. Charlotte’s attention shifts to her purse. She usually carries pads for emergencies, but this month, she completely forgot about her menstrual date. "Well, I do. Just one. Will that be enough?" She pulls out her last pad from her purse and hands it to the woman. In her hurry, the woman takes it and almost enters the toilet area, but her body suddenly wobbles. Charlotte turns back to the mirror after handing over the pad, but seeing the woman’s reflection collapsing, she immediately extends her arm to support her. "Are you okay? Hell
“ Now was your time?" Edward tied her untied hair with hair clip, and asked. A deep breath escaped and she faces Edward with a series expression. Edward's eyebrows raise, seeing his adorable wife is staring at him with a cute yet series expression..” You know what. Today, A worker had miscarried. I felt so scared. In front of me, she asked me for sanitary napkins. But she collapsed right away. Later, I got to know she had taken pills and.. It's horrible that the innocent kid had no chance to see the world. " She said in one breath. It's true, she was indeed scared of the scene she just witnessed. She is sensitive when it comes to children. And it's unacceptable to see how people abandon their children. Edward can feel the fear in her voice. Her pale complexion is telling him that she was indeed in shock. Touching her face gently, he gives an assured smile and kisses her forehead..“ They know what they have done. She may have her own reasons or no mother will abandon her children. Y
The happy honeymoon and their job, both of them are doing well. Charlotte is having a great time working with such great designers from around the world and how supportive they are. However, while enjoying everything, one thing has been bothering her. Edward always leaves saying that he is meeting his friends. But he never talks about anything about his friends or how he is enjoying it. As if, he is deliberately avoiding her from time to time and hiding something from her. She hates how she is being doubtful but she can't help but think that he is ashamed of her and doesn't want her to meet or know his friends. She wants to know him better and more about his past. Seeing how he avoids it, makes her sad and disheartened. Right now, she is walking in the corridor while sipping her coffee. Regarding the matter of smuggling and Rachel being connected with them, police have been investigating the case. They have found quite several indications about Rachel being forced into this matter.
“ Stay low and don't let Bryan or your parents find out where you are. If you need something, call me anytime, OK?" Fixing her hair, Charlotte closes the car door after helping Rachel be discharged from the hospital on the same day. “ Thank you, Sister. I will never forget how you... Sigh! I sincerely hope you have forgiven me. I got nothing to give you more.” Rachel smiles fastening her seatbelt. She requested to let Rachel go before the release date so that she could leave silently and hide something from her parents and husband. Since she was a victim, the police officers didn't say against her words as well.Now, she is heading to the airport and will leave for London tonight. Charlotte sighs waving her hand to say goodbye to Rachel. Coincidentally, lots of things have been achieved by helping the pitiful girl. Although she didn't know that Rachel was holding the deeds and files of her father's crime reports. But thankfully, Rachel helped her. Charlotte again tries to call Edwa
“ Morning, Edward!" She yawns and hugs Edward who places his phone on the nightstand and looks at her with a smile.“ Good Morning, Love. How are you feeling?" He asked, leaving a gentle kiss on her lips. “ I am great. My body hurts. Probably I had a rough day yesterday.." She said kissing his chest. Her eyes are on Edward who is running his fingers through her silky hair. “ Did something happen? Your bodyguard said you went to the police station." “ A lot of things happened. But it's you who didn't have to ask me anything. I will tell you later. I need to go to the washroom.." She hurriedly gets up and walks inside totally forgetting about last night. Edward sighs, taking his phone and typing something on his phone. But the phone immediately turned off when Charlotte peaks outside again..“ Please order food for us. I am so hungry. Must tell you, I need avocado toast today. Thank you." Edward sighs in guilt for his recent behavior. Staring down at his phone screen blankly, his eye
The car stopped right in front of the hospital. Her footsteps are busy approaching the receptionist to ask about Edward who hasn't contacted her yet. Her heart feels like it's getting pierced with a needle. She doesn't care about anything in the world at least, he should be fine and all well. ”No wonder he has been avoiding me, saying such random stuff overall” she talks to herself and looks at the receptionist who welcomed her with a soft smile. “ Hello. Ma'am!" All she could do is nodding off her head and hurriedly take the card out of her purse..“ My husband is here to get treatment. This is his visiting card. Can you tell me where is he? His name is Edw-”“ You are great, Prince Charming. When will I return home? I hate to stay here.” A familiar voice that causes her instant crawl in her skin forces her to turn back. A painful memory suddenly strikes her mind.“ Charlotte! Since I am your only best friend. You can at least let me use your laptop. I need to finish the project."
“ I am sorry. I should have stopped her right away. ”Shion's apology doesn't reach out to Edward who is staring at the wedding ring. A gentle caress falls on its body with a bitter smile on its solemn face. The guilty never let him go from the day, he decided to hide the matter of finding his first love. But seeing this turned out way too bitterly that, he now has no expression and words to describe.Shion sighs seeing his Boss who is constantly keeping his mouth shut. Everyone on his team is required to make sure Charlotte doesn't cross the hospital no matter what. However, Charlotte was fast to escape. “ Boss! We will find her no matter what. ”“ She finalized to leave me without asking me for an explanation." He mumbles shoving the ring in his pocket. “ Find her. Every single place in the world. I want her back to me within a week." His cold voice makes his bodyguards weak. They immediately accept the task and call everyone to start searching for her.Edward looks at the ring t
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
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
