"I accept your proposal Mr Gerano," Charlotte said and waited to see Sebastian's reaction.

However, Sebastian didn't show any expression on his face. He neither looked happy nor sad at the news of her accepting to marry him and this made it difficult for her to guess what was running through his mind.

"Let's sit and talk, Miss Brooks," Sebastian merely said after a moment of silence, in a flat tone.

Charlotte nodded and walked over to Sebastian's desk but she was stopped by Sebastian before she could sit down.

"Why are you going over there?" Sebastian asked.

"You said we should sit and talk. I'm going over to sit," Charlotte answered.

"I wasn't referring to that seat," Sebastian said.

"Then which seat were you referring to?" Charlotte asked, confused.

Sebastian rolled his eyes at Charlotte's question. She belonged to such a rich family and yet she didn't know his office had a private room.

"Haven't you ever been to your brother's office?" He asked.

"Yes I have but what does have to with any of th… " Charlotte paused as she finally understood what Sebastian meant.

"Hey, it's not my fault. The only CEO's office I've been to is my brother's. I didn't realize all CEOs had a private room," she quickly defended herself.

"Well now you know," Sebastian replied simply and walked over to a wall and pressed a button on it.

A door instantly became visible and it led to a room. "After you," Sebastian said and opened the door. Charlotte entered the room and so did Sebastian.

It was Sebastian's private room in his office where he stayed if he needed to work late.

It was like his mini home equipped with basic amenities including a bathroom and a restroom.

Sebastian walked over to the sofa in the room and sat on it before turning his eyes to Charlotte. "Sit, our conversation is going to take a while. You'll get tired of standing," He said gently and tapped on the sofa.

Charlotte was hesitant to sit on the sofa. It was a double sofa which meant that she and Sebastian would be really close.

What if he tried to kiss her again like yesterday?She didn't try to stop him then and she knew she wouldn't try to stop him now either.

He had a terrible effect on her; one that would make her lose all her senses of reasoning.

"What are you thinking about?" Sebastian asked with a flat face. "Don't worry Charlotte, I won't try to kiss you again," He said before she could answer.

He knew that was what was running through her mind therefore he assured her and he didn't plan on breaking his word.

"Sit down Miss Brooks," Sebastian said once again as he tapped the sofa and this time, Charlotte listened and sat down on the sofa.

"So what do you want to talk about Mr Gerano?" Charlotte asked. She wanted this meeting to be over and done with as she did not trust herself around Sebastian.

"I want to talk about the terms of the contract," Sebastian replied as he looked intently at Charlotte.

"What are the terms you want to be present in the contract Mr Gerano," Charlotte asked, trying to maintain her distance from Sebastian.

"First of all, you should call me by my name. It would raise too many questions if you call me Mr Gerano in front of people," Sebastian said.

He was right. If she was going to be his wife, she would have to call him by his name.

However, she was reluctant to do so as it would mean they were getting closer to each other; something Charlotte didn't want to happen.

She swore never to get close to any man and she planned to keep it that way but lately, Sebastian had been breaking that resolve.

Sebastian noticed that Charlotte was lost in her thoughts once again.

He snapped his fingers and she came back to reality. "What were you thinking about, Charlotte?" He asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Sebastian call her name so deeply made Charlotte so nervous that her stomach started to churn. "I wasn't thinking about anything Sebastian."

He raised his eyebrows as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "You are a terrible liar Charlotte. If you're going to lie to me, the least you should do is to sound convincing."

Charlotte bit her lips when she heard Sebastian's words. She herself knew that she was a terrible liar but what else could she do?

How could she tell him that she didn't want to call him by his name because she was afraid of getting too close to him? It would make her sound crazy.

"It's nothing important," Charlotte said. "Can we please get back to business. I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starving."

"Okay then," said Sebastian as he stood up and walked over to one of his drawers. He opened it and brought out a document which he handed over to Charlotte.

"What is this?" Charlotte asked suspiciously as she examined the document sitting on her lap.

"These are the terms I propose. Go through each of them carefully and ask me about anyone you do not understand," Sebastian said as he went back to sitting beside Charlotte.

"You already had this prepared?" Charlotte asked in surprise as she gazed upon the document.

The document had at least ten terms and conditions Sebastian wanted her to agree to.

He must have prepared it way before he asked her to get married to her as there was no way he could have done this in less than twelve hours.

"Hmm, I already prepared this before telling you about my proposal" Sebastian answered.

"What?" Charlotte asked, confused. "What if I had said no to your proposal?"

"I knew that wasn't going to happen," Sebastian said confidently.

"Really? And how did you know I was going to say yes to your proposal?"

"I had faith in my business skills. I always get what I want and you weren't going to be any different," Sebastian said casually.

Charlotte felt the pain in her stomach return as she heard Sebastian's words.

The media wasn't lying when they said he was an arrogant and proud man who always achieved his goal. He had intended for her to say yes to his proposal and she did exactly that.

She didn't reply to his statement. Instead, she went back to reading the document.

Her eyes widened as she read through the document. How did he come up with such terms? Was he crazy or something?

    Charlotte's eyes widened in shock as she read through the document. How did Sebastian come up with such a term? And did he really think that she would agree to it?"It says here that after we get married, I will live in your house and we will sleep in the same bedroom?" Charlotte asked."What do you think people will say if you live at your house after our marriage?" Sebastian asked.Charlotte rolled her eyes. He was talking to her as if she was a five year old. "I understand that part Sebastian, I'm not dumb. Of course, I'm going to stay in your house after we get married... ""That's good to hear," Sebastian retorted.Charlotte hissed sharply but she did not reply to Sebastian's sarcastic statement as that would just make her mad and she did not have the strength to get mad."Why do we have to sleep in the same room? We are not going to be a real couple so there is no need to sleep in the same room.""You rea

    Kiss me," Sebastian whispered seductively into Charlotte's ear. Her body instantly froze and a gasp escaped from her lips as she heard Sebastian's demand. He couldn't possibly be serious. Sebastian smiled as he saw Charlotte's flustered reaction to his demand. He really liked teasing her as he always found her reaction to his teasing funny and entertaining. His level of shamelessness whenever he was around Charlotte concerned him as it was unlike him to flirt with any lady not even Amy but it came natural to him whenever he was with her. He said things he had never said to her and he liked it. "K-kiss y-you," Charlotte repeated nervously. This man couldn't be serious. He had to be joking but Sebastian Gerano never joked. At least that was what she heard from people about him. So, that meant he was being serious! He really wanted her to kiss him. Shit! What had she gotten herself into? She wouldn't have asked Sebastian about them kissing if she knew this was what it would land

    "Brother, are you okay?" Diego asked in shock. He wasn't sure that the person sitting in front of him was his brother. The cold Sebastian he knew would never say such words so easily. Something terrible must have happened to Sebastian and that was why he was behaving this way. "Where are you here?! Sebastian asked coldly, ignoring Diego's question. "I came here to invite my sister in law to lunch but I didn't see her in your office and that's why I came into your private room." Diego explained and averted his eyes as his heart couldn't bear to see another moment of Sebastian and Charlotte getting all lovey- dovey. "Hmmm," was Sebastian's reply. He loosened his grip on Charlotte. She quickly jumped out of Sebastian's laps. "You said you haven't had lunch. Come, let's go and have lunch," Sebastian said. "No!" Charlotte refused sharply. "I have a lot of things to do at the office," she lied. "What office?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows questioningly as his lips broke into a misc

    "What took you guys so long?!" Charlotte asked irritably. She had been waiting outside Sebastian's office for over five minutes. "I'm sorry sister-in- law, Sebastian was the one who delayed us," Diego quickly said, shifting the blame onto his brother."What were you doing in there?" Charlotte asked suspiciously."He was checking the internet for what you like to eat sister in law," Diego revealed with a huge grin plastered across his lips , hoping that Charlotte would do something to Sebastian. His brother had been a tyrant for too long. He needed to be taught a lesson for all the terrible things he had done to him and Charlotte seemed to be the perfect person for the job as unlike everyone else, she wasn't afraid of Sebastian. She was the first woman he saw who had the guts to threaten his brother and what amused Diego was the fact that his brother got intimidated by her threat. Something that had never happened before. He liked Charlotte more than ever. Sebastian swore to k

    "Why is there no one here?" Charlotte asked as she was shocked to see the restaurant empty. It was always crowded with hungry customers every time she came here. So where was everyone? "I booked the entire restaurant," Sebastian answered as he looked around the restaurant. However, Sebastian didn't think it was fit to be called a restaurant. His closet was bigger than this place. 'I wonder what she sees here,' Sebastian said to himself. Charlotte was the weirdest celebrity he had ever met. She didn't act like the rest of her kind. Even though he hated her, he had to admit that he liked that about her. She was a simple person. "What?!" Charlotte exclaimed in shock. She wasn't sure she heard right. Did Sebastian just say that he booked the entire restaurant for the three of them? "Why did you book the entire restaurant when it is only the three of us having lunch, " Charlotte asked in confusion. "I booked the restaurant so I could have some peace and quiet while I

    "Where did you go after you ran away from home?" Diego asked with curiosity. "I went to one of my family hotels. It was along the way that I found this place. I was starving and desperate to eat anything and that was the reason I came in here. I would have never looked at this place if I wasn't desperate," Charlotte replied.Sebastian finally understood why Henry didn't make his sister's disappearance public. Even though she ran away, she was still safe as she was in one of his hotels and no normal person would have dared to harm her there. "Wow sister in law, I would have never imagined that you were once a…" Diego paused abruptly as Sebastian shot him a deadly glare. One that was threatening to kill him if he completed what he was going to say. "A spoiled brat," Charlotte said, completing Diego's words. "Why did you stop your brother? He wasn't going to say anything wrong" She said to Sebastian as she noticed the glare he gave which made Diego stop talking. "I was once a spoile

    "I said sit!" Henry repeated firmly as Charlotte did not move from where she was standing. "I won't say it again." Charlotte didn't want to upset her brother further and so, she walked over to the couch and sat beside him. Henry didn't say anything for a while. He just stared at Charlotte and his intense gaze made her shift uncomfortably in her seat. "Stop staring at me like that, it's making me uncomfortable" Charlotte grumbled when she couldn't bear it again. Henry very well knew how terrifying he looked right now and the effect it was having on his sister but he couldn't help it as that was how he was feeling. "Did you agree to get married to Sebastian Gerano?" Henry asked curiously. Charlotte meeting Sebastian meant that she had taken his advice and spoken to him. He had given her that advice so that she could see for herself how arrogant and self-centered Sebastian was. Henry knew that Charlotte hated arrogant men and there was no way Charlotte would agree to marry Sebastia

    Charlotte's phone beeped while she was watching a movie with Henry. After their conversation, she asked him to stay for a while as it had been a while since she spent some alone time with him due to the fact that they were always so busy with their work. Henry immediately agreed as he also missed spending time with his sister. They decided to watch a movie and as they were in the middle of the movie was when Charlotte received a message from an unknown number.'That's strange,' she muttered to herself. Apart from her family and manager, no one else has her personal number and she was sure that Henry had put protective measures in place to ensure that no one could get her number without permission. Therefore, the person who texted her must be a very powerful person but there was no family as powerful as hers except... the Geranos.She did waste any more time and clicked on the message and her guess was right. Her mood immediately changed as she read the message. "What d

    Sebastian paced outside his room nervously. The doctor had been in there for a while and each passing second was torture for him. He would have preferred for Charlotte to be taken to the hospital but she regained consciousness as they were on their way there and she vehemently refused to go there. They called the doctor and requested for him to treat her at home. He took her samples and sent them to the hospital. The result was delivered to the doctor about five minutes ago but Sebastian didn’t know what the report was and that drove him on edge. A hand on his shoulder made him turn around and he saw it was his father.“She’ll be fine,” Alexander said.The doctor came out of the room and all of the family members gathered around him. “Doctor, how is she?'' Sebastian asked.“She is fine, Mr Gerano,” the doctor answered and Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief as he felt the knot in his chest loosen. “You can see her now. She has something she wants to tell you after which it is very i

    “Did you miss me?” Charlotte asked. Beside her stood Diego and Jonathan who had their guns pointed at Amy and the goon who held a gun to Sebastian's head respectively. Sebastian was not expecting to see them there but irregardless, he was happy that they managed to find him..He looked at Charlotte and she looked at him back. However, there was no warmth in her eyes, rather she looked at him coldly and with a murderous intent. “How did you find us?” Amy asked. She had still not recovered from her shock. “Well the mole told us where you were,” Charlotte answered. “Mole?” Amy repeated in confusion. “Yes, mole,” another voice said in the background. He walked up to them and Amy gasped when she saw who it was. “Hello Amy,” Jimmy greeted with a grin on his face. “What? Are you shocked to see me on their side?” he asked mockingly.“B-but y-you told me that y-you wanted revenge,” Amy stuttered as she was still trying to process the fact that her plan had failed all thanks to Jimmy who h

    Charlotte slowly opened her eyes to let them adjust to the bright light. She groaned and sat up. She then looked around and saw that she was in her room, but how and when did she get there?It took a few moments for the memories of what had happened to return to Charlotte. ‘Sebastian, how dare you?!’ she exclaimed in anger. That asshole ordered Jonathan to drug her. Both of them would pay for doing that to her, but first, she needed to find him. Charlotte got down from the bed and headed downstairs. She didn’t meet a single helper on the way down, and that worried her as the mansion was always filled with helpers. What was going on?She saw Henry comforting a crying Alexia while the rest of her family had gloomy expressions on their faces. “What’s going on here?” she asked. They all turned and looked at her with pity, which made Charlotte worry the most as she could tell from their body language that something terrible had happened. “Where is Sebastian?” she inquired. None of the

    Charlotte woke up when she heard the sound of a door closing. She sat up and saw that Sebastian had just come out of the bathroom. She glanced at the clock beside her bed and saw that it was already eleven o’clock. Damn! Sebastian had worked her up hard all night, not that she was complaining. “You’ve finally woken up,” Sebastian said. He walked up to her and kissed her on the forehead. “I feel sore,” Charlotte complained as she stood up. Of course, she was bound to feel sore, mainly due to the activities they did all night.She was ninety percent sure that Sebastian had gotten her pregnant last night. “Do you want me to take the soreness away,” Sebastian asked and kissed her neck while his hand went down her back. His action made Charlotte's breath get heavier, mainly due to the fact that she wasn’t wearing any clothes. Damn! This guy was a tempter. However, Charlotte refused to fall into his temptation. She gathered all of her strength and pushed him away. “We’re not doing it

    “So, what did he say? Is he coming?” Charlotte asked as soon as Danielle was done speaking to Sebastian.“Of course he is. I told you it would work. He told me to make sure that you do not leave. He even gave me permission to use the guards to make sure you do not leave,” Danielle added. “So all we have to do is wait for him to get here,” Charlotte stated.“Yes and make sure you act convincing enough,'' Danielle reminded. Charlotte chuckled. “Of course, I will.” Twenty minutes later, one of the helpers, which Danielle had stationed at the entrance of the house to inform them when Sebastian arrived, came running upstairs. “Ma’am, sir has arrived.”Charlotte and Danielle immediately jumped down from the bed. “You can go now,” Charlotte instructed.“Are you ready?” Danielle asked.“Yes, I am. Now go to your position," Charlotte urged as she quickly grabbed the suitcase she had already packed her clothes in.“Good luck,” Danielle wished and left the room, locking the door behind her.
