Raina had been observing Lillian the whole time, and when she noticed that she was on the verge of breaking down, she knew that it was time for the climax of the show.“You can kill me! But you don’t lay your finger on the baby!” Raina shouted and sobbed.Those words were the signal that they agreed upon, so the movement the men heard that one of them lunged toward Raina with a sharp knife.“No!” Seeing that the man stabbed the knife in Raina’s chest, Lillian screamed.Raina felt a cold feeling in her chest, as the knife broke the blood pouch.The bright red liquid immediately died her white dress red, making it visibly shocking. Raina whimpered painfully and pretended to collapse on the ground.“Shit! How could you kill her?” Another man shouted as he kicked the man who stabbed Raina to the ground.“Retreat!”In the blink of an eye, they all jumped into the car and drove away at lightning speed.“Raina! Raina!” Lillian screamed as she ran towards Raina. With a worried low look in you
The thought of being able to see her kids today delighted Charlotte. She got off work early and left the company in high spirits.Once she was in the car, she asked Elena to go to the shopping mall, so that she could buy the kids some gifts. It had been so long since the last time she saw them. Somehow she wondered if they were mad at her.Aside from that, there was something else she was worrying about. “Elena, do you think that the twins might not know who I am anymore?” She asked, wearing a serious expression.Elena smiled at her saying, “Charlotte, you are overthinking. You are their mother, of course they remembered you!”Upon hearing that Charlotte regained her composure and calmed down. “Let’s go to the Kindergarten to pick up Aaron and then go to the Venzor mansion together.”“Got it.”Classes were not over yet, but there were already numerous cars parked outside the Kindergarten. Parents or house helpers were already there ready to pick up their kids.Charlotte got out of the
Charlotte had just arrived at the gate of the Venzor Mansion when Darren called her. At that moment Aaron opened the door with a beaming smileBut what Charlotte saw the next second disappointed her. Raina was hugging Darren. The scene in front of her brought a pang in her heart. ‘How could he fool around with the woman while talking to me on the phone? Was this why he didn’t want me to come to the Venzor mansion today? He didn’t want me to disturb them, did he?’ She thought.When Charlotte looked at Raina, she raised her chin and smiled meaningfully at her.To make things worse, the shirt Raina was wearing right now was the one she had bought for Darren when they were still together—seeing that Charlotte's phone fell to the floor with a thud. However, because of the noise, Charlotte comes back to her senses. Then, she immediately covered Aaron’s eyes so he could not see what was happening. Then, with a bitter smile, she looked at Darren with an icy cold gaze.“Excuse me!” Charlotte p
Darren looked at her in awe, and she also looked back at him.“No way!” Lillian roared.However, Charlotte didn’t say anything in response, nor did give Darren a chance to speak. Before he could utter a word, she marched out of the mansion.“Charlotte!” Elena, who was waiting for her outside walked to her and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”“I’m fine!” She answered with a nod. At that moment, the document in Elena’s hand caught her attention. It was the case analysis report that she was supposed to give Darren. She felt sorry for that he had been suffering from his disorder. But now judging from what she had seen between him and Raina, she felt that there was nothing worry at all. Then in a fit of anger, Charlotte snatched the report from Elena’s hand and tore it into pieces.Seeing that Elena gasped in shock and looked at her with the eyes widening in shock. Charlotte took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down and said, “Elena, you head back first. I want to be alone for
When Simon heard about what happened today from Elena, he immediately drove to see Charlotte.As soon as he got out of the car, he saw how lonely and sad Charlotte was even though she had her back to him. Heartbroken by this sight, Simon hurried over to her side, carrying several cans of beer. He sat down next to her and handed her an open can of beer. “Charlotte, are you okay?” He asked.Charlotte took a sip of her beer, her eyes filled with sadness as she spoke, “Simon there is something about me that you don’t know. My name is used to be Areiza. I have been married before, and I have three lovely children. To be honest, there was four of them. It was so happened that the last child didn’t get to see the word…” As she was speaking, her eyes turned red.“Let bygones be bygones. You are no longer who you were in the past. You are Charlotte now.” Simon replied in an attempt to comfort her.“I used to think that I have let go of the past, but it seems like I’m not that bored-minded.” Ch
When Charlotte got inside the House, Elena handed her a bag.“What is this?” she asked.“Mr. Venzor bought it over,” Elena answered.Hearing that Charlotte poured all of the contents of the bag. There were matching T-shirts, a coffee mug, a pair of ski gloves, and even sexy lingerie. These were the stuff that she had left in the Garden Street. They carried memories of her and Darren. It felt ironic to see these things again.Just before Charlotte could throw the stuff aside, her eyes fell on an iPad underneath the pile of stuff. She picked up and tapped on the screen.However, it needed a password. She input Aaron’s birthday, but it didn’t turn on. After a brief pause, she input the twins’ birthday but it still didn’t unlock. None of them were correct. At this point, she was starting to get annoyed. However, after pondering on it some more, she tried to input their wedding date, and the iPad unlocked right away.In the gallery, there was a photo album. Charlotte casually swipes the sc
When Aaron saw Lillian walking into the room, he immediately started crying. And just as he had expected Lillian walked over to him with an anxious look and her eyes and asked, “Aaron, why are you crying? What happened?”Aaron threw himself into her arms and burst into tears, “Grandma, Raina has been bullying me! I was being a good boy as Daddy asked me to and played a game of Sudoku with her, but when she couldn’t solve the puzzle, she become angry and shouted at me!”With an anxious look in her eyes, Raina explained, “I didn’t! Mr. Venzor, you have to trust me. I didn’t bully Aaron at all!”However, Lillian’s eyes became cold as she turned to Raina and said, “Raina, go back upstairs and rest. I will take care of Aaron.”“I really didn’t bully him or shouted at him!” Rania said.However, Lillian motioned her to leave helplessly, “I see. You can go upstairs now.”Raina’s eyes were filled with malice as she reluctantly walked out of the room.Looking at Raina's dejected back, Aaron fel
Raina smiled triumphantly after she saw Darren leave. ‘Since he didn’t insisted on driving him me away, did I still had a chance with him. Perhaps, he still has some feelings for me and as long as I work hard, I could be definitely win his love.’ Thinking of that, she cheered up.Raina got up and looked around the room. Just like the master bedroom in the Venzor mansion, there was also a wall covered with Charlotte’s photo. Looking at her smiling face in the pictures my heart is filled with jealousy. ‘How could she get everything so effortlessly while I had to fight for what I wanted? God is so unfair towards me!’ She cursed.Lying on the bad casually, Raina took some selfies on his phone. The thought that she was on the bed that Charlotte had once slept on made her feel a strange sense of pleasure. And she wondered how she would react if she saw the photos of her in this bed.Raina then put her phone away, opened one of the drawers, and looked through it. It was filled with Charlotte
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
Because of how he reacted, the doctor felt tense and uncertain about what to do.Charlotte's face palmed and said to the doctor, “Honestly, I am feeling alright already. I’m sure I will get better after taking the antipyretic injections. Thank you, doctor!”The doctor nodded with a smile and left the room.Once he was gone, Darren sat back in his chair and directed his attention back to Charlotte. “You really can’t take your eyes off a handsome man when you see one, can you?”“What are you talking about? I was not looking at him.”He was so angry that he was practically snarling at Charlotte. “Are you not attracted to me anymore, Charlotte?”The look of jealousy and frustration on his face was amusing. He looks so childish!Once Charlotte's infusion was done, Darren held her out of the hospital while holding her wrist. By the time they reached the gate, their fingers were already interlocked. Charlotte’s heart felt a sense of comfort and warmth as she held his hand with him.After the
For a long time, Anna I stood frozen on the spot with her hand hovering above the door.Eventually, she dropped her hand with a sigh. She found a corner by the porch and curled up in it to cry her eyes out. the crowd.After a long time, Charlotte came back and was surprised to see her at the door. “Anna?”Anna looked up at her, her cheeks red with embarrassment. It was indeed abrupt for him to come here, but she had nowhere else to go. “Charlotte, can you take me in for one night?” She wiped the tears on her face and asked brazenly.Charlotte gaped at her for a few seconds before walking up to her. She held her hand and took it. “Come in!” Charlotte said.Charlotte asked the maid to cook some soup and bought it for her.Seeing the steaming hot soup in front of her, Anna felt the warmth and acceptance of the family, which was also something she earned for most. Anna picked up the bowl and felt a lump in her throat.Charlotte’s three kids sat opposite and looked at Anna curiously. Anna
Stella called Peter out of the blue and asked him to come to the bar where she was and keep her company.During her drunken speech, she broke into sobs several times.When Peter hung up the phone, he hesitated for a while but eventually decided to drive to the bar.Judging by Stella’s near-incoherent speech, she was very drunk. Not only that, she was a drunk woman in a bar alone. The number of things that could happen was too high for Peter to even contemplate.When Peter got there, he saw many empty bottles on her table. Stella was in the process of pouring more wine when Peter walked up to her and confiscated the bottle.“You have enough to drink!”With tears streaming down her face, Stella turned to look at him in disappointment. “Why are you here?”“Who else could it be if it were not for me?” Peter asked him confused.“I don’t want you. I want Darren.” And all of a sudden, Stella grabbed his shirt and looked up at him with hatred and determination.Her reaction pissed Peter off a
