After leaving the clinic, Charlotte started the car and left. While driving she thought of her conversation with Samantha just now. “What on earth is Darren hiding from me? Is it treating me so well just to trick me into getting back together with him?”As she was lost in thought, suddenly the car swerved. Thereafter, a pungent smell of gasoline wafted into her nose. Charlotte’s heart almost leaped to her throat. She wanted to stop the car to check what happened, but she soon found that the brakes were not working.‘What the hell?’ Charlotte muttered, flooring the brakes again. ‘Damn it! Something happened to the brakes!’Charlotte grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, attempting to control the car. There was a car behind her, honking at her like a lunatic.“What I’m going to do?” Charlotte tried to suppress her fear, carefully avoiding the car in front of her.Just then her phone rang. In a fit of panic, Charlotte answered the call, “Help, something happened to the car., I am i
Darren’s felt his head was spinning, and he couldn’t think straight. All his memories with Charlotte flashed through his mind like a movie reel, especially those when she was still Areiza. They used to kiss, and make love, and they once promised to be with each other for the rest of their lives.Her beautiful loving smile was like a warm sun amidst winter. She was a ray of sunshine that brought light and warmth to his life.Darren stood there, watching all of their memories together with the obsession of an onlooker. His heart was beating fast. ‘What happened after this? How did Charlotte and I end up like this?’ He thought.Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his head and the fragments of his memory poured into his mind. It felt like his head was splitting, and he had to hold it just to alleviate some of the pain.Suddenly, Darren felt a lump in his throat and tears burst forth from his eyes like a broken dam. He finally remembered what had happened.That bitch Hallie almost killed his
After regaining his lost memories, Darren tried to speak to Charlotte at length, but she was acting strange. It seemed as though something was bothering her. Darren trudged back to his ward after she left.Just then, the door of the world was opened, and Lillian came in with her eyes filled with joy. “Darren, my son, you are finally awake! Where have you been? You almost scared me to death?””Sorry to have made you worried. I was with Charlotte earlier.” Darren replied by hugging her.Lillian wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes and said, “Darren, while you were in coma, Charlotte had been taking care of you.”Darren was surprised, but he was also touched. It was so sweet of her to do so. Somehow it made him believe that Charlotte still had feelings for him. ‘She had always been stubborn, but she was also soft-hearted.’ Thinking that he could not help to chuckle to himself.Since Darren was getting a lot better, Lillian helped him through the discharge procedure a few days later.
Darren pulled his car over by the gate of Charlotte’s villa. Seeing that the light in the house was still on, Darren got out of the car, carrying the incense inside the villa.At that moment the door of the villa opened and Simon walked out.“Why are you here?” Darren asked, wearing a stoic expression.“Charlotte is just asleep and I would rather not disturb her, so let’s go and talk somewhere else and talk, shall we?” Simon said, raising an eyebrow at Darren and acting all high and mighty.Darren grabbed his caller, pressed him against the wall, and said, “Have I not told you to stay away from her? Didn’t you understand the human language?”Simon sneered, “Charlotte is the one who asked me to stay with her. Besides, you have no right to stop me from going here.”“She is my wife.” Darren roared.“Your wife? We all know that you are divorced!”Seeing Simon goading at him, Darren felt a dull pain in his chest and he growled, “She and I will get married again. You will see.”Once more Si
Charlotte had never seen the man before.“You ruined my life family. I won’t let you escape!” As the man screamed those horrible words, he ran straight to Charlotte, with the knife clenched tightly above his head.There was no time for her to dodge the knife, so Charlotte could only watch, frozen in fear as the shining knife got closer. Terror, pure and unadulterated, gripped her so fiercely that she even forgot to breathe. The man slashed down viciously with his knife.But a split second before the knife made contact with her chest, Simon put himself between her and the wicked-looking knife. Then, instead of her, the knife flayed Simon’s skin open. Blood gushed out on heavy rivulets, making a puddle on the floor. A low, pained growl escaped his throat at the cut.Elena, whom the man had noticed, crept closer to him and kicked at the man’s wrist. The man let out a cry of pain as he lost his grip on the knife. Elena took the opportunity to kick him again and twisted his arm behind his
Charlotte bit her lower lip and said nothing. Her silence brought a pang in Darren’s heart. ‘It turned out that in her eyes, I was an opportunist-someone who would do whatever it took to achieve my goal. She didn’t even give a benefit of the doubt and just accused me!’With a bitter smile, Darren picked up the document on the floor and handed it to her, saying, “Charlotte, believe it or not, I didn’t do it. I can prove it to you.”Charlotte looked at him distrustfully and asked, “Even if you didn’t do it, are you sure you are not hiding anything from me?”Darren fell stunned. Once he got a hold of himself, he looked at her and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”“Raina took a photo with you in bed and yet, you told me that nothing happened between you two. Darren, you are fucking lair!” Charlotte bellowed, her eyes red and brimming with tears.“It’s juts a misunderstanding. I didn’t know that Riana took a photo of me. I was drunk. Believe me, nothing happened,” Darren hurriedly ex
In the Mint Bar.When Samantha walked into the bar, the two men in the corner caught her attention. With a bright smile, she walked over to one of them and exclaimed, “Darren? Is that you? What a coincidence!”Darren raised his head and looked at her and asked, “Why are you here?”“Well, my friend asked me out for a drink. But when I arrived here, she told me that something had come up. A bumper, right? Anyway, I didn’t expect that I had meet you here. Do you mind if I share a table with you?” She asked, looking at him expectantly.Darren rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger and indifferently replied, “Whatever!”Samantha was overjoyed to hear that, but she restrained herself from showing her emotions. She sat beside Darren and looked at his companion and asked, “Who is this friend of yours? Aren’t you gonna introduce him to me?”“This is Alex Patel. This is Samantha Hoffman.” Darren briefly said. He wasn’t in the mood to chat.Alex put his arm around his shoulder and s
By the time Alan woke up, he found that his clothes were disheveled and there were lipstick marks all over his skin. All of a sudden, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.“Hello?”“Alan, I need to talk you. I have something important to tell you.” A strange woman’s voice came from the receiver.“Who are you?” Alan asked, confused by the conversation.“You are so terrible! Last night, you kept calling me ‘baby,’ but now you can’t even recognize my voice? That’s awful.” The tone of her voice was flirtatious, and the words she spoke were ambiguous.Surprised by the statement, Alan asked, “Are you the woman from last night?”“Of course, I am! Do you dare deny it?” she asked back.“Of course, not. I just don’t remember anything that happened from last night. How can I be sure that you are telling the truth?” Alan argued.“Meet up with me and I will prove it to you,” she countered.Alan sensed that something was amiss about this whole situation, but he still went to the place that she
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
