” Charlotte's eyes open when a calming melody hits her eardrums. Tilting her head towards the noise, she gives her attention there. However, her eyes widely open when reality hits her sense. She isn't in her room.Scanning the entire room, with a pale and bloodless complexion, she wraps her arms around her Belly and gets up. Her attention once again goes out of the transparent door and she heads towards it. Pushing its one part, she in a quiet step walks in on the corridor. To amaze her, she finds the wild ocean is roaring with its dominance and the salt breeze makes her close her eyes with peace. When the breeze makes her hair dance, she grabs them tight and looks around carefully. The fear of being kidnapped by that stalker who has been calling her clenches her heart. Being breathless, she slowly scans the entire area. The penthouse doesn't look like a public hotel but a private property. The interior and exterior design clearly announced its luxury with no doubt.” My kidnapper i
“ 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
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
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
“ 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-
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
” 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
“ 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,
