The next day In Tyler's house. Charlotte woke up early. She went downstairs to get a broom to use to sweep while one of the maids argued with her."Don't worry ma. I can do it. Mr Dalton will get mad at me if he sees you sweeping." She said dragging the broom stick from Charlotte."It's okay. He wont be angry I promise."Charlotte said trying to convince her.They kept arguing until Tyler grunted to announce his presence."Hmm." He grunted."Good morning sir."The maid greeted and walked away.He is wearing a pair of joggers and no top. His chest was visible. Charlotte swallowed as he walked up to her. He stared at her for a minute"Will you move?"He said finally."Move,what, when." Charlotte stammered."You better don't fall for me because you aren't my type."He said and pushed Charlotte away.Charlotte ran upstairs and bumped into Rose in the lobby."Hey watch it."Rose said pushing Charlotte back."How dare you touch me?"Charlotte asked angril
Charlotte stood up from the bed. She was wearing his boxers and a top bra. The cloth was revealing her curves."What do you want?" She asked rubbing her sleepy eyes."What I want?" Tyler staggered."You ruined my life."He said pointing to her."My dream was to become a bachelor for life. Have fun and don't look back but you decided to ruin it." He said walking up to Charlotte."Don't come close."Charlotte said stretching her hand forward to prevent him from coming close.He grabbed her wrist."Leave me alone you bastard." Charlotte screamed but Tyler kept holding her wrist."Please stop. You are hurting me." She pleaded again but Tyler didn't move.He pushed her on the bed and pounced on her. Her phone rings."Please let me pick my call. It might be from the hospital please." Charlotte pleaded again.He starts sucking her sensitive spot but Charlotte flinched while sobbing."Please let me take the call please." Charlotte pleaded again but Tyle
Tyler ran downstairs to get his phone. He called his dad."Hi dad. Please can you send me Charlotte's dad number?" He asked with a shaky voice."You mean Dave?" His father answered."Yes dad I mean Dave or whatever his name is." Tyler yelled pacing round the sitting room."Take a chill pill okay. I'll send it now." Zane answered and dropped the call.Tyler began to pace round the room. He sat down then stood up again. He was so disorganized.His phone beeped. He checked and it was a message from his dad.He quickly dialed the number his father had sent."Hello sir. Can you please come over? I don't know what's wrong with Charlotte." He said with clenched teeth."What did you say?" Dave asked."Can you please come over? I don't know what's wrong with Charlotte." Tyler repeated."Okay. I'll be right there." Dave said and he dropped call.Tyler ran back upstairs. He didn't hear Charlotte's voice again."She has stopped crying? Is sh
Charlotte got home an hour later because of the traffic. She had taken a cab with her parents back home. She walked straight to her room upstairs. She spotted her picture with Phoebe hanging on the wall. She removed it, sat on the bed and stared at it while she cried."I miss you so much Phoebe . I miss you." She said to herself as hot tears rolled down her eyes."Life won't be the same without you Phoebe. It won't." She cried.Sophia walked into the room."Stop crying please." Sophia said patting Charlotte's shoulder as Charlotte rested on Sophia's shoulder."It's okay my child." She comforted her daughter."Mom. Phoebe is gone forever. She is gone and it's Tyler's fault. Tyler killed her mom. He killed her." Charlotte said crying bitterly."It's okay my child. Go into the bathroom and take a shower baby. Rinse the blood away. Sophia said still patting Charlotte's shoulder.Charlotte stood up and walked into the bathroom. She took a short shower because
"It's okay Gloria. I just feel so bad. I kept blaming myself for her death." Charlotte explained to Gloria while mixing the flour and butter."You shouldn't blame yourself ma'am. I don't know what happened but I'm sure it was not your fault." Gloria turned to the cabinet to bring out sugar."You can't understand Gloria. Preheat the oven please." Charlotte requested.Gloria preheated the oven while Charlotte took a medium sized bowl. She combined the eggs, melted butter, sugar,flour,vinegar and vanilla extract. She blended it and poured the mixture into a pie shell."Should we put it in the oven now?" Gloria asked opening the oven."No let's wait a little." She said washing her hands that has been covered with the mixture. The other maids walked in and were surprised to see Charlotte baking."Ma you shouldn't be doing this. You should have called me." Ashley said taking the bowl from Charlotte's hand."It's okay Ash. Its fun working with ma'am. She
"It's better for me to go home." He said closing his laptop standing up and leaving his office.He walked out of his office and almost bumped into Gwen."Where are you going to sir?"She asked staring at the keys he was holding in his hands."It's none of your business Gwen." Tyler answered walking as fast as his legs could take him.He got into the elevator and got downstairs. He spotted Mr White."Oh my. Good morning sir. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend to you." Tyler said fondling the keys in his hands."I just need to submit this file." Mr White said standing up and giving the files to Tyler.Tyler collected the files and scanned it."I'll check it when I get home." Tyler said and walked away hastily from the reception.He hopped into his car and drove away. It was a forty five minutes drive to his house. The traffic was light.-------------------------------------"I need to go see Mr Hardy. I need to get my job back so I'll be able to bu
"I'm asking you? What are you doing here?" She asked again this time dropping her purse on the chair and resting her hands on her hips."Well they are here to see you concerning your sister's burial and I've promised them a million dollars." Tyler said proudly."Aren't you guys ashamed of yourself? The person who refused to give us money for her hospital bills is offering to give you money for her burial and you are here rejoicing. Haven't I told you not to come here? I disowned you guys already what else do you want?" Charlotte said with clipped tongue."I know you are angry Charlotte but you need to calm down." Dave said."Calm down. Calm down. Dad you are evil. I hate you. I've gotten a job already if that's what you want and I'll pay for Phoebe's bills and her burial myself." Charlotte said."I already said I'll pay,why are you so angry." Tyler chimed."We don't need your money, besides this is a family matter." Charlotte said as she t
"Yes. I'll suit myself." Charlotte said still munching the pizza."When are you going to bury your sister?" Tyler asked."It's non of your business." Charlotte replied dropping the remaining pizza in her hand back in the box."I'm just asking. I feel I should know too so I can help with anything." He said."There is no need for you to know." Charlotte said as she left him in the sitting room."She is so annoying. What does she want?" Tyler asked himself as he scrolled through his phone contact.He dialed a number."Hello Kate. Can you please meet me at the club. Yeah. The place we usually meet." He said and dropped the call.He walked briskly upstairs, went to his room and changed into a black shirt and a jean trouser. He took a pair of shoes and slipped them on. He looked in the mirror and combed his brown hair. He rubbed his neatly shaved beard and winked at his image in the mirrorHe picked his car keys which was lying on top on his drawe
"You arrested Kate? How did you know where she was?" He asked. "Well an informant told us." He said and Ashley came out. By that time,the ambulance had gone."I and ma'am Charlotte talked about this and I knew this would happen." Ashley said. "Talk about what? What?" Tyler stammered. "Ma'am Charlotte found evidence against Kate. Kate was the one who killed Alberto. She also found out Kate's child was not yours but Dennis." She confessed. "How? How?" Tyler stammered. "Well she found a memory card in Kate's room with the information. I've handed it over to the police even though Kate thinks she has the video. Thank God ma'am Charlotte asked me to copy them." She said. "You have evidence and have handed it to the police? I'm so confused." Tyler said. "Just let us handle the case Mr Dalton. I told you to trust us. Just go to the hospital to meet your wife." Inspector Blake said."How did you find me? How did you know I was here?" Tyler asked. "Well,the day you threw us out of the
Tyler called the number again but it wasn't going through."We have to call the police." Sheila suggested. "Do you want her dead?" He yelled." I don't know what to do." Tyler tugged at his hair. "You should call your dad. He might help." Gloria suggested He looked at her for a while and dialed his number."Charlotte's parents must not know she has been kidnapped." He said. His dad picked the call and he explained everything that has happened within the past few months. "Why didn't tell me? I am your father Tyler." Zane yelled. "I'm sorry dad. I didn't want to go to prison." He informed."I'm booking the first flight back to New York. This must end once and for all." Zane said and dropped the call. Tyler sat on the chair in the living room waiting for a call from Kate but he got none. Six hours,Zane walked into the house with two inspectors "Dad!" Tyler stood up and hugged him."Hey." Zane hugged him back It was then he noticed the strange men in the room."Who are they?" H
Tyler and Kate came into the house and all the maids came out to see the new baby God blessed the house with. "He is so cute." Sheila commented as she tried to touch the baby and Kate glared at her.Gloria just looked at the baby. Tyler went up to her. "I have a son." He rejoiced "Congratulations sir." She said and excused herself.He went upstairs only to check on Charlotte but he met her fast asleep.He went back and Kate was in her room breastfeeding the baby. Tyler couldn't take his eyes off the baby."I want to name him after you." Kate said."You can do whatever you want. All you need is rest now." Tyler commented."Fine,I will." She smiled.Charlotte stood up from her bed and tried to check the content of the memory card but her plan was upstructed by Gloria. A knock was heard on her door. "Hi ma'am it's me Gloria. I brought some snacks for you." Gloria chimed.Charlotte tossed her phone on the bed and let out a loud yawn.Gloria stepped in and dropped some snacks on the bed f
The car horn woke Tyler up. He kissed Charlotte's cheeks and dashed outside her room.Charlotte woke up and she heard the horn and saw Tyler run out of the room.She hit the pillow on the bed. "I can't even spend some time with my husband. I have to get Kate once and for all." She concluded and started her daily routine.Kate walked into the house and saw Tyler in the living room seated."Awkward." She said as she walked upstairs holding her red Gucci bag."That's what she spends my money on." Tyler commented.She came back downstairs. " Let's go for shopping. My pregnancy is night months and we haven't shopped yet. That's so weird. She said."This morning? I have some important meetings this morning." He rejected the offer."Do you want me to remind you again?" Kate threatened."Fine. I'll go." Tyler gave up. He went upstairs to bath and change into new clothes.He met Charlotte on his way downstairs. "I want us to go for shopping too." Charlotte said."You know its not possible when
I just slept off after crying and drowning in my sorrow.The next day everyone left the house including the maids. Tyler even tried talking to her but she ignored. She pitied him but she had no choice. She had to focus and get to the root of the matter. She searched Kate's room diligently but found nothing. it was shocking how smart she is. She couldn't even find any evidence against her. Talking to Tyler about it wouldn't make sense. He is running away from his past and he would probably deny killing Alberto.She haven't even confirmed it and she was already pointing fingers at Tyler. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. She didn't find anything on Kate. She had to face humiliations daily. Her position in the company was taken away from me and was given to Kate. Tyler and her didn't communicate as usual. He was always with Kate. The only family she had was her parents and Gloria. Her parents used to come visit but Kate took the opportunity from her too.Tyler chang
Kate walked in again to disrupt their conversation."So you can follow Charlotte for her antenatal but not mine? My own child is not special?" She yelled as she threw a piece of paper to Tyler."I never said your child isn't special. I'll love the both of them the same way." Tyler added as he picked the piece of paper."I went for a scan and I discovered I'm carrying a male child. The heir to Dalton group of company." Kate said proudly as she looked at Charlotte and rolled at eyes."That's good." Tyler starred at the piece of paper smiling."I thought you wanted to have a girl." Charlotte said."I want both." Tyler answered immediately."We just argued about that right now. You said you want a girl and now you suddenly like the idea of wanting a boy." "You just like deceiving me."Charlotte yelled and jogged upstairs to her room.Ever since Kate walked into his life,it has been problem upon problem. There has been no day he rested. First he has to calm Charlotte and assure her he is
Charlotte followed him. "Baby,you need to tell me.""I'm sorry I can't. Just forget about it." Tyler grabbed the jug of water in the kitchen and poured it in a cup. He gulped the water in at once.Charlotte hugged him after he dropped the cup. "If you can't tell me,who would you tell? Would you let her keep blackmailing you?" She looked up to him to scan his face."You can't understand Charlotte. Just give up and stop talking about it." He advised."Tyler! I'm your wife." She pleaded."You don't know the gravity of this. You were right when you used to call me a monster. I could die and lose all my father's property." He said."That means you must have done something really bad. Just tell me I won't judge." She pestered."Forget about it. Please I beg you with our unborn child don't ask me anymore." Tyler begged and Kate walked into the kitchen."So you've been with this ugly thing since and I've been searching the house for you?" She glared."Yes. He has been with me since." Charlot
He followed her downstairs and caught up with her."What's wrong? Why are you acting strange all of a sudden?" He asked,scanning her eyes for any emotions at all."You are going to play dumb now?" She yelled."Just tell me what happened. Did Kate do anything again?" He enquired."So you didn't know what you did yesterday. The The noi....se." She stammered.Tyler stood for a moment trying to regain his memory when he remembered he was naked in Kate room."I was drunk." He said and pursed his lips."Don't you dare lie to me. Don't." She said and left.She walked outside the house and Tyler followed her like a stalker."Leave me alone will you?" She yelled at him."I was just drunk I didn't do anything." He explained."That explains the moanings." She said."Let's go back inside its cold here." He grabbed her arm but she released herself in a jiffy."Dont you tryst me? Even if you hear a rumor saying in cheating on you,would you believe?" He asked.Charlotte just stared at him without rep
She went upstairs and was pacing round the room deep in her thoughts."Is she blackmailing him? Tyler can never do that." She said to herself.just then her phone rang and she went to pick it up on the table she had dropped it. It was Tyler. She picked it. "What do you want?" She asked."I want you home please. I want to spend time with you and our unborn child." He said."I'll come home on one condition." "What?" He asked."You'll explain why you knelt for Kate. You'll tell me everything I ask." She said."Yes. I'll tell you. I'll explain everything." He agreed and Charlotte dropped the call.She went into the bathroom and did her daily routines as fast as she could. She wore a black hoodie and a pair of white sneakers.She called her driver and he came in an hour time.He drove her to Tyler's house and she walked inside.She met Kate sitting and eating fruits in the living room."Oh hi co wife. You are finally back." She crossed her leg. "Welcome home dear." Kate said.Charlotte wa
