I will post a few more chapters tonight. Give me some power....
It had been a week since Sia started at the office. Leon had been upset the entire week because he had to return to his place and could no longer sleep in her bed. He had stayed with her for two weeks to take care of her, and every night, he slept by her side, holding her in his arms; it was the best feeling in the world. Now, he had to return to his cold apartment, which didn’t feel like home. Many days, he would either return to the Hart Mansion or his own apartment.Abella had started college and become busy with it, she was rarely finding time to come home. Once a week, she would visit, and once a week, her parents would go to see her. Callum was also staying in his university dormitory, as Sia had finally agreed to fund his project, and he was practically living in his lab. Charlotte was in Paris, gathering inspiration for her new project. She needed to present some artwork, but with the exhibition only a few months away, she still had nothing ready.Rhys was busy interning for S
In the city of love, a young woman sat on the half wall while watching the tourists around her. They were all so in love, expressing their affection, exchanging smiles, and everything in between. In the past hour alone, she had witnessed four proposals, several babymoons, and gazillions of honeymooners. She cursed under her breath. She should never have listened to her agent and come here. What was she thinking, sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower, hoping to find inspiration for her new exhibition?Instead of inspiration, she was getting frustrated. The sight of all these couples was starting to annoy her.Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a tall, attractive man. The reason he stood out was simple, he was strikingly handsome, almost as if he had stepped out of a fashion magazine. His hair was slightly longer than usual, casually combed back. But it wasn’t his style or his face that caught her eye. It was the dimple on his cheek that appeared as he smiled genuinely, and the way his
Charlotte stood by the doorway while watching the scene unfold with growing curiosity. She had barely stepped outside to catch her breath when the exchange between the man and woman caught her attention.“Why are you alone?” the woman asked, her voice sharp but tinged with questions. “I thought you would be happy to see me,” the man replied. The woman was clearly upset and raised her voice. “Sebastian Gray! Don’t argue with your mother! I told you that you are not allowed to appear in front of me if you don’t have a wife!” In the next moment, the woman appeared to lose control, her breathing became shallow and rapid. Panic flashed in her eyes and Charlotte saw the man’s expression shift immediately from frustration to concern.“Mother!” he exclaimed, rushing to her side.But the woman waved him off. “Don’t touch me, Sebastian,” she snapped, her voice trembling. “Just go.”The man’s face fell, and Charlotte could see the guilt and helplessness written all over him. He stood there fo
“I think we need to take a seat,” the old woman said, and her family followed her. Sebastian remained standing while Charlotte confidently followed the woman, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.He growled. Yes, literally growled at her. “What do you think you are doing?”Charlotte casually adjusted his tie while her smile unshaken. “Come on, I’m saving your ass.”He raised an eyebrow. “Do I need saving?”Charlotte glanced at the family walking ahead, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “I think you do.”Sebastian's face hardened. “Leave. I can handle my own life, and you have no right to interfere. You’re a psycho.”Charlotte shrugged nonchalantly. “You need me, whether you like it or not. That brother of yours is using your misfortune to sabotage you. And his wife? She is just looking for any chance to look good in front of your mother. I’m not entirely sure about your family dynamics, but it is clear you are in deep trouble. Your mom wants you married, which means there is a
At this time, Charlotte’s phone rang, and she said, “Excuse me.”As she went to take the call, Elizabeth’s fake smile faded, and a disgusted expression took its place. “You are not marrying this girl!”She hated everything about Charlotte. From her job to her peasant family to her clothes and mannerisms! This girl looked so wild and not elegant at all. They were rich people with noble backgrounds. How could they accept this woman? The society would laugh at them! She looked at Daphney was the perfect daughter-in-law, her maiden family’s heritage is connected with a royal family as the latter’s mother was the daughter of a prince. Although Daphney had no title, she still was considered blue-blooded as her grandfather was a prince. But this wild girl who had neither looks nor family… eww. Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “What is wrong with her, Mother?”Aside from being a weirdo and stupid, there was nothing wrong with the woman. She looked quiet beautiful and shall he say cool? Elizab
As they left, Charlotte felt a shiver run down her spine. She had encountered many bad people, but they were worse. When she turned around, she saw Sebastian standing there, a hard look on his face. Once again, she felt a twinge of sympathy for him. Maybe it was his pretty face that was tugging at her heart.Before she could speak, he said, “Don’t say a word.”She fell silent.A while later, Pierce appeared, calling out, “Charlotte, I told you not to disappear!”Charlotte replied, “I didn’t leave. I’m still here.”Pierce looked at the handsome man standing next to Charlotte and asked, “Who is this eye candy? I would say he is even more handsome than your brother!” Then, with a teasing grin, he added, “Is this your new boyfriend?” He laughed. “Better than the one who dumped you in the city of love! Pitiful Charlotte got dumped in Paris!”Charlotte grabbed Pierce by the neck and twisted it. Sebastian shivered. How much training had this girl done in martial arts to be this skilled?“Apo
Anne Rose entered the tall building of Hart Enterprises. She recalled the last time when she came here to see her husband. Never. She had never entered the threshold of this building. "I'm here to meet Mr Hart, "Anne Rose said to the receptionist. Although she had never been to his office, the reception instantly recognised Mrs Hart. "I will inform the CEO that you are here to meet him," The receptionist said with a polite smile. "Don't ring him," Anne said with a smile. "I'm here to surprise him." "Alright, Mrs Hart, " the receptionist answered. Anne walked to Nicholas' office with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She was thinking about how he would react seeing her in his office. Things between them had been cold for a year as the incident that happened one year ago changed the entire dynamics of their relationship. If she hadn't given up on him then, things wouldn't have gotten bad with them. Clutching her purse tightly in her hand, she imagined how he was going to react to the
The following morning Anne Rose was lying on the bed naked next to her husband who was sleeping peacefully. Her pale skin was covered with hickey marks. She remembered the fervor of the lovemaking– no– sex that she had done with her husband. He had never shown his animalistic instincts until this life when she proposed divorce to him. If he thought sex would repair the cracks in their shattered relationship, he had another thing coming. She decided to submit the signed divorce papers in the court and then meet her father in the jail. Her entire world was wrecked when she married Nicholas. She married him with great dreams in her eyes. But a day after their marriage, her father was arrested for having involvement with the mafia. She begged Nicholas to let her meet her father but he refused saying that his wife could never have connections with a man having been arrested for such charges.Since she was divorcing her husband, there was no reason for her to stop visiting her father.
