Charlotte was lying on the bed, unconscious. Her face was pale, and there was a bruise on her forehead, caused by the collusion.Fortunately, the airbag was activated. Otherwise, her injury would have been far worse than this.As Simon sat at the edge of the bed, he brushed his trembling figures against her cheek. He suddenly regretted what had happened. ‘My hesitation almost caused irreparable harm to my beloved one.’Simon was aware of why Adam asked Charlotte out. The Wilson group was on its last leg. She would not be able to hold onto it for too long.Unless she agreed to Adams's suggestions, her only option was to declare bankruptcy. And whichever result would come to pass, it would not be a bad deal for Adam.Based on Simon's perception of Charlotte, he was aware that she would not give up so easily. She would never agree to Adam’s unreasonable requests. Thus, Simon was like a hunter, hiding beneath the shadows and waiting for his prey to kill each other and reap their rewards.
As Charlotte lay silently on the bed, the wound on her body began to ache. A few moments after the accident, she suffered a concussion and had several bruises on her legs.Because she was pregnant, the doctor was very cautious in giving her a perception. However, there was still certain medication that she had to take. Apart from all that, she didn’t have any other psychological problems. She could even be discharged from the hospital right this moment.Charlotte looked at the ceiling dazed and heartbroken.While the doctor making his morning rounds of the wards, he said, “Get enough rest. Based on the tests we ran on the fetus’ condition, it’s not optimistic. Of course, the choice is all yours.”Charlotte didn’t respond to the doctor's reminder, as she looked at the news being broadcast on TV.Seeing Stella leaving Darren’s room and wearing his shirt broke her heart, and it made her feel cold all over. As she looked at the TV, her vision began to blur. When Charlotte came to her sens
Darren carried Charlotte out of the hospital.The sun was shining down at them and yet, he could not feel its warmth. He was disappointed. But when he saw how fragile and feeble she was, his heart softened. He bent over, put her into the car for fear that she might run away, he put her deep into the car.Charlotte was not strong enough to escape at this moment. Her back accidentally bumped into the armrest of the seat, and she winced in pain, almost bursting into tears.Darren got in the car, shut the door, and approached to trap her in the corner of the back seat. Charlotte had no room to retreat. Then, Darren grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.Tears were running down her cheeks and her face was deathly pale. She arched her back and protected her stomach with both hands. She had just undergone an operation and she was still in pain.‘When she decided to get an abortion, she didn’t bother to inform me and even asked Simon to accompany her. It seemed as though she didn’t t
At this time, Ellen appeared to meditate over the dispute. He held Ria’s hand and whispered, “Just do the guy a favor, okay?”Ria didn’t want to help Darren, but since Ellen was pleading for him, she reluctantly agreed.Soon they arrived at Charlotte’s house. Before Ria gets off the car, Darren said to her, “Tell her that you are the one who got all this stuff.”Ria carried all this stuff to the house, struggling to ring the doorbell.Charlotte soon opened the door. When Charlotte saw the pile of boxes beside the door, her bloodless face was filled with surprise.“Ria, did you just empty the shopping mall?” she asked.Ria walked to the house and collapsed on the sofa while catching her breath. “You are damn right, I did! I’m rich. Anyway, this stuff is good for your health. Eat as much as you want. And once you are finished them, I can bring you more.”‘The cost didn’t matter, because I wasn’t the one who paid for them. Darren had hurt Charlotte over and over. These trivial things wer
It was the middle of the night, and the room was dark and deathly quiet.Only the table lamp dispelled the darkness surrounding Charlotte.After hours of twisting a turning, Charlotte sat up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and looked at the ceiling in a daze.Her head hurt so bad, and she felt stuffy in her chest. It was as if a boulder was pressing on it. Also, she couldn’t feel sleep.Every time she closed her eyes, the scene of Darren’s betrayal would cross her mind. She turned around to look out of the window. Seeing the curtain was covering it, she got up and looked at the remote control on the bedside table.With that, she pressed the button.The curtains slowly opened, revealing French windows. Outside, the stars glistened in the sky. Charlotte's eyes began to hurt again. She put her hands on her eyelids to warm them.Once Charlotte felt better, she then massaged her forehead and temples.Suddenly, she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the door. Before, she c
Darren hadn’t called Stella to ask about the news report yet, nor did he ask her to testify and clarify the matter. Stella found it strange, but she didn’t want to be reckless and make him think that she was scheming something.Thus, she decided to invite Charlotte to meet her for a coffee.Charlotte was sitting across Stella, wearing a simple light-colored dress, and her long hair falling over her shoulder.Despite looking a little bit pale, she was lovely as ever. Though it pained her to admit this, she wasn’t as pretty as Charlotte. Stella gritted her teeth, tightening her grip on the cup of coffee as jealousy clouded her heart.But pretty soon she felt relieved. The news that Darren and Stella were about to get married along with the rumors that had been circulating about them. Many people would certainly buy that they were a couple.Charlotte, on the other hand, was just a woman that Darren had abandoned.In the public eye, Charlotte suffered a complete defeat against Stella.Cha
Charlotte suddenly couldn’t think straight anymore.“Are you saying that Simon and Adam have joined hands? But… how is this possible?” She stammered.“When did you went to Golden State Club to meet with Adam, someone saw Simon with that Bastard!” Darren frowned, his eyes filled with contempt.Charlotte bit her lower lip, feeling flustered. “If Simon really has a hidden agenda, then that means my dad is an danger. I have to see this for myself.”Afterward, Charlotte grabbed the phone from Darren and hurried her way into the car, intending to see Edward.But then Darren held her arm. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “No need to worry. I have already sent a bodyguard to protect him. He is going to be fine!”“Thank you, Darren!” Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Darren chuckled at her reaction as he led her to his car. “Allow me to drive you home.” he said.****That evening, Charlotte Adam called Charlotte out of the blue.“Charlotte, it seems like you have decided not to wor
As the news of Edward’s death hit the Internet, it caused an uproar.The next morning, Adam went to the company and presented the will that stated that Edward had transferred all his shares to his brother, Adam Wilson, before his death.The minute Charlotte heard the news she rushed to the company to confirm it.“Hey, isn’t this Charlotte? What are you doing here?” Adam drawled with a grating smile, his body relaxing into the sofa in the chairman’s office without a care in the world.“I should be asking you this question. Why are you here?” Charlotte demanded as she looked him down coldly.Adam leaned forward and retrieved a document from the table. The next second he flung the documents at her with a self-satisfied smile on his face.“Charlotte, I suggest that you read the document carefully. But I will do you the favor of relating its contains to you. When Edward was alive, he made a will and transferred all his shares to me. That means that I now on majority of the shares in the Wi
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
