Darren leaned over, put a hand on Charlotte’s waist, and looked into her eyes. Then he found back the stance of her on the corner of her lips, gently brushing his fingers on her cheek.His fingertips warmed not just Charlotte’s skin, but also her heart. By now, her eyelashes were quivering, but the more she indulged in this feeling, the sadder she felt.“It you seem like you are perfectly fine. You don’t seem like there is anything wrong with you.” Charlotte said in a trembling voice.“So if I’m fine, you’re just going to listen to Edward and never see me again, Isn’t that right?” Darren argued.Charlotte turned her face away and said nothing. However, Darren forced her to look at him and kissed her. Charlotte could feel that his body temperature was much higher than her. He was burning. She was shocked by this. Then, she put her hands on his shoulder, intending to push him away.But the next second, she found herself putting her hand down his shirt. Darren chuckled his breath, becomi
The next day, Charlotte was absent-minded the whole day. Last time, Darren had proposed to her. He wanted to get remarried.In the afternoon. During the meeting, Charlotte still could not focus and was frequently lost in thoughts.Elena sensed that something was wrong with her, so she asked with concern while they were alone, “Charlotte, are you okay?”Charlotte came to her senses and nodded, “I am fine. I just didn’t slept well last night.” Sleep had been the furthest thing from her mind after indulging in marathon sex with Darren all night.At the end of the work day, Charlotte walked out of the elevator, only to be accosted by a tall man with a very grave expression. However, despite his grave expression, his voice was smooth and deferential when he greeted her, “Hello, Miss Wilson!”Charlotte's brows furrowed in confusion as she looked at him and asked, “Who are you?”“This is Carlos Graham, the new bodyguard I hired for you in the future. He will be responsible for your safety at
Charlotte furtively scanned the crowd for Darren, but she couldn’t see him anywhere. After hesitating for a minute, she gave in and finally answered the call.“Hello?” However, no one answered and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.Thousands of words welled up in her heart. However, in the end, all she asked was “Darren, what can I do for you?”“Sorry, wrong number.”After several seconds of silence, all she got was the asinine reply. Disappointed, she muttered, “In that case, bye.”“Bye,” he answered.For a small eternity, Charlotte waited with bated breath for him to say something. But when she realized he had no intention of speaking, she hung up and walked out of the banquet hall.Charlotte was so lost in her jumbled thoughts that she failed to watch where she was going, and bumped into a waiter who happened to be carrying a several glass of wine. The tray in his hand fell and all the glasses of wine dropped over, drenching her dress.“I’m sorry, Miss. Are you okay?
Charlotte was shocked.Suddenly, she was pulled back to her senses. Nervously, she looked into Darren’s eyes. His face was grim and his brows were knitted together.“Charlotte!” Simon knocked on the door again, harder this time.Charlotte wanted to answer him, but then Darren held her neck. This time, he has lost his patience. He no longer wanted to tease her by kissing her. As if to show ownership of her, Darren kissed her overbearingly. She tried to protest, but Darren swallowed all the words she wanted to say. He was kissing her hard and passionately and Charlotte felt as if he intended to swallow her whole.“Say something, Charlotte. I know you are there!” Simon said impatiently.However, Darren’s kiss was so fierce that she almost lost her breath. She gripped his shirt, trying to push him away.“Stop!” Charlotte pleaded as soon as she had the chance to breathe.However, Darren put his hand on her hips, drawing her closer toward him. His rock-hard d*ck made her feel like her body
Samantha went to Jennifer’s ward at the hospital to pay a visit to her and saw Lillian standing outside the door.Samantha walked over and greeted her with a smile, “Lillian, I’m here to visit Jennifer.”“Samantha, you are here.” Lillian said with a forced smile.“How is Jennifer doing?” Samantha asked.“She still had not woken up yet. The doctor said that the operation was a success, but he also said that its going to take a while before she regained conscience.” Lillian answered.“Don’t worry, Lilian. Jennifer is a strong woman. Pretty soon, she will be up and about before we know it.” Samantha said, attempting to comfort her.“You are right. She will be okay.” Lillian nodded in agreement.“Lillian, is it okay if I go inside and see her?” Samantha asked while handing her the gift she had bought.“I’m sure she’ll be happy to know that you care about her so much.”, Lillian said, with a brink of tears.“Why isn’t Charlotte here? I heard that she is the reason Jennifer fell down. She mu
On the other side, just as Charlotte gets off work, Edward comes to the company. A faint smile tugged at his lips as if he had been in a good mood.“Charlotte, I am here to pick you up.” He said lightly.“I envy you, Dad. You don’t even have to go to work.” Charlotte complained while rubbing her stiff and sore shoulders.Edward chuckled as he said, “Well, I have been busy most of my life. I deserve to rest now. I will soon hand over my entire company to you and enjoy my retirement.”Hearing that Charlotte sighed helplessly. Then, she picked up her things and left the company with Edward.“You know that I’m not as competent as you are,” she said.“I beg to disagree. You have been great. Well, at least you are better than Adam,” Edward said, as he shook his head disapprovingly.The smile on Charlotte’s face disappeared at the mention of Adam’s name. Annoyed, she gritted her teeth and muttered, “That man would do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.”“Yes, he is a sucker for overnight
Once Darren left the hospital, he drove to Samantha’s clinic.“Darren what pleasant surprise! What are you doing here? I’m currently making a soup for your Grandma!” Samantha said as she hurriedly approached him, with her eyes filled with affection.However, looking at the fascinating affection that she can’t hide from anyone, Darren feels annoyed. He used to think of Samantha as gentle, considerate, and friendly, so he let Charlotte be friends with her. But he never expected that Samantha was a sly vixen. He felt angry for being so ignorant.However, Darren shined his complex feelings about this whole matter and just put on a smile. “Samantha, my grandma just woke up. Her brain is probably scrambled right now, which led her to believe that you are someone else. I hope it doesn’t bother you.” he said.Samantha waved her hand in dismissal and chuckled, “Oh, it’s fine. It’s my pleasure to help you out.”Then Darren sat on the sofa and have a sigh.Seeing this Samantha became nervous as
The moment Charlotte woke up, silence greeted her. She couldn’t see anything as her eyes were covered with a black cloth and her mouth was sealed with tape as well.All Charlotte could remember was that when she left the hospital, a man wearing a baseball cap entered the elevator with her. When she reached the underground parking lot, someone behind her covered her mouth and nose with the cloth and a pungent odor made her faint.‘So I was kidnapped!’ Charlotte strained almost every nerve in her body when she realized the fact. However, she tried her best not to panic. After all, only when she could stay calm would she be able to think of a way to escape.Based on what she could feel, it seemed like she was lying on a bed and she could feel a soft quilt on her. However, she didn’t dare to move and just listened to the sounds coming from the outside in silence.There were other people in this room with her she could hear the sound of the chair moving. Then, someone opened the door, and
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
