“Did I say something wrong?” Confused, Jaeden frowned.Realizing that he had lost his composure, Darren shook his head slowly and said, “No. Please tell me about Dylan. What happened between him and Areiza?”‘Who was Darren and what was his relationship with Ar3iza? Why did he take her away from me?’ As doubt flooded his mind, Darren began to panic.“Don’t you remember? Have you still not regained your memory?” Jaeden eyes widened in surprise.“That’s none of your business! Just answer my question.” Darren warned him with a gloomy expression.Shaking his head, Jaeden pursed his lips.“If you tell me the truth, then I shall consider helping the Wood group. But if you refuse, then you can leave.” Darren threatened.After hesitating just for a moment, Jaeden split everything he knew, “I heard that Areiza live with Darren for a year, and after she come back, she gave birth to the Twins.”“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to make me believe that she cheated on me?” Darren hissed.‘
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Raina’s plan. She was just about to unbutton Darren’s shirt when she heard the knock on the door, so she paused for a moment, frowning irritably.‘It was so late at night. Who would come at such an odd time? What a bumper!’ She cursed inwardly.Rian quickly put her clothes back on and got out of bed to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tia standing outside with a cup of warm water in her hand.Taking the glass of water from her, Raina said in an impatient voice, “You may leave now and don’t bother us anymore.”“You are the one who should leave, not me. You are not allowed to enter this room wherever you want, so please leave immediately,” Tia said coldly.“Any why should I leave? To be honest, I am going to stay right here tonight.” Raina gritted her teeth and glared at her.It had been such a long time since Charlotte left, but those bodyguards were still loyal to her. How could she have so many people on her side?’ Raina t
When Raina heard that Darren was willing to take her to the party, she couldn’t contain her excitement. She just casually mentioned it and didn’t expect him to agree to it. ‘It seemed like my hard work during the past few days had not been way after all.’Raina then took out her phone and quickly sent a text to Hannah asking her to meet her at the racecourse. Just when she was about to put her phone aside, messages probed on the screen. They were all from Gary.“Raina, how long are you going to stay in Darren’s place? Come back home at once.”“You are useless. You have been training for so long time, but you still have not learned anything about seducing men.”Reading those messages, Raina could almost visualize the disdainful look in his eyes. Her heart was sinking again, but she clutched her phone in her hand, unwilling to accept it.; Come back home for what? To do your sex doll? That’s never going to happen again. After I married Darren, I’m going to make you pay for all the pain
The next morning, Charlotte asked Elena to go to the groundbreaking ceremony first to supervise the things.As she was getting ready, Charlotte remembered what had happened the previous day. She patted herself on the back of her head, regretting impulsively mentioning that she would try and give Simon a chance and it was pretty obvious that he took her words seriously.Just when she was wondering how to clear the misunderstanding, her phone rang. She picked up and saw that it was a call from Simon. Their heart was shaking, and it took her a few minutes to compose herself before she answered it.“Charlotte, are you ready? I’m coming to pick you up, okay?” Simon’s expectant voice comes from through the phone.“Well…” biting her lips, she suggested, “How about we meet at the venue?” The thought of riding in the same car with him made her uncomfortable.“Okay, I’ll see you later then,” Simon said in a muffled voice.She had a sigh of relief after she hung up. Charlotte then quickly got ch
As Charlotte hid in the corner, she held onto the gun with trembling hands and felt nervous. All she wanted to do at that moment was to escape. But the second she walked forward, the light inside the warehouse suddenly went out.The darkness enveloped the warehouse and she could feel her heart beating like a snare drum in her chest. Suddenly she heard a gunshot from behind her, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground. Startled, Charlotte gripped her gun as her hands trembled uncontrollably.Just then, the door of the warehouse was open. A dazzling light appeared before her eyes, and she instinctively squinted. Once her eyes had adapted to the brightness, she saw Hannah lying on the ground and the kidnappers were all gone.Charlotte suppressed her fear and ran towards Hannah. She lay on the ground with her eyes widened in shock. The bullet had hit her heart and blood-soaked her clothes. It looks so terrifying.Charlotte checked her pulse and leaned close to her nose to ch
The police came to the hospital after Darren left. “Miss Wilson, we need your statement, so please cooperate with us.”“Don’t be nervous. Just tell them what you saw. I will be right outside the door if you need me.” Simon comforted her in a low voice.A sense of relief came to her heart when she looked into his calm eyes. With a grateful smile, she nodded at him and turned to the policemen, “I am ready. You can ask.”“Miss Wilson, today was the day of the Wilson Group’s East bank project’s groundbreaking ceremony, right? Why are you in the abandoned warehouse instead of the party?”“I got a call from someone and they said they were holding my kids hostage, so I had to go there.” Charlotte answered honestly.“Did you kill Hannah Davis?”Charlotte's heart was racing when she looked into the policeman’s meaningful eyes. “No!” She said firmly.“But the bullet that was took from Hannah’s body match the one from your pistol. And there was exactly one bullet missing from your gun. You have
After seeing Darren leave, Raina burst into tears, unable to suppress the sadness in her heart. Seeing her like that, Lillian walked up to her and comforted her, “Raina, Darren has always been like this. Don’t be sad.”“Mrs. Venzor, he doesn’t even like me a little and only cares about Charlotte…” Raina rested her head on Lillian’s shoulder and sobbed.“As long as I’m here, I won’t let him be with Charlotte. Raina, don’t worry, I will always be on your side.” Lillian patted her shoulder gently and comforted her.Lowering her head, Raina wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “Thank you so much, Mrs. Venzor. I would like to see Hannah today.”“I understand. I think that there is something suspicious about her death. You should go!” Lillian said.“Charlotte killed her. I will find the evidence and make sure that she suffer.” Raina roared furiously. Hatred floated into her heart, and she couldn’t help gritting her teeth.After leaving the Venzor Mansion, Raina headed
On the other hand, as soon as Darren saw today’s news his heart sank, and he hurried to the Wilson Group at once. As soon as he came, he saw Charlotte being surrounded by a group of people who were cursing at her. As if that was not enough, they also threw punches and kicked her. Charlotte was curled up in pain on the ground and endured everything that was being thrown at her.Seeing that Darren’s breath stopped, and he rushed to her at once.As soon as he came over, he saw a brutal-looking man clench his fist and throw it at Charlotte. Seeing this Darren’s heart skipped a beat and in the blink of an eye, he strode over and grabbed the man’s hand. “What the hell are you doing?” He asked, looking at the angry mob.The mob lowered their head and avoided his gaze. Meanwhile, the man struggled to break free from his grasp. “She deserved it. She is a murderer!” He bellowed.“Yes. That vicious woman deserves to die!” The crowd echoed.“The police will apprehend her if they find her guilty.
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
