Chapter 45Erika's POV.*Continuation of The Last Chapter*"Do you really love me? Or you decided to fake it again?" I got the chance to ask him the question that I've been meaning to ask him."You should be more careful next time. You shouldn't walk at night alone, and you should wait for the cab to pick you up instead of you walking alone at night." He came down from the bed also, wanting to walk away from the room.He was changing the topic again. "Why did you come back yesterday? How did you get to know that I was in trouble? Why are you avoiding my question also?" I stopped him from going out of the rooms with the questions I had for him."You called me, and didn't say anything afterward. I tried calling you again, but you were not picking, so I felt that you might be in danger." He answered my question, refusing to answer my remaining questions."Are you a coward? Are you naturally this way? You always avoid questions that you are supposed to answer. Huh?" I walked up to him, w
Chapter 46.Erika's POV.My heart was really beating fast hoping that she doesn't get to one the open the closet. I was so SCARED at this moment, and I kept on praying."Who is in there?" I could hear her footsteps moving closer to the closet. "There is no one there. I think you are just over reacting." He said to her.She didn't listen while her footsteps walked into the closet, and opened it. It happened that she got to open another one. It wasn't long before I heard Charles groaning. It was really a loud one."Are you okay?" I heard her footsteps fading away while h wondered what was wrong with him."Let's go to the hospital." I heard her saying. I opened the closet to take a look at what was wrong with him, but it looked so serious. He touched his chest in pain while he wouldn't stop groaning."No! Get me my medicine!" He instructed her while she ran out of the room in order to get his medicine. I wished I could be of help, but there was nothing that I could get to do that instan
Chapter 47.Erika's POV.The day really went bad for me after listening to that news. I didn't even know where to start talking. How would I get to see him frequently?There was no way that I would watch him from afar. I want to be close with him without putting more effort. I wanted it to happen secretly."When did you fall so hard for him like this again? I thought you didn't like him anymore." My subconscious questioned me. How did I really get to fall so hard for him?I wasn't supposed to fall this hard again, it seemed like the both of us were not meant to be with each other. If we were meant to be with each other, I wouldn't be getting news like this.If we were meant to be with each other, things are supposed to be coming our way, not the opposite.*****Three Days After.I looked at the dress he bought for me the other day was that placed right on my bed. There was no way I was going to leave the dress right at his house since I love it so much.I admired the dress while I slo
Chapter 48Charles's POV.I watched as she she came down from the stage looking so elegant, just like thew way she would.I love everything about her. If I didn't make a mistake few years back, I bet the both of us would have been together now. I watched as a lot of men admired her. That was the disadvantage that came together with dating a girl who was very beautiful.It was then I could hear a lot of people murmuring afterwards, while I wondered what they were talking about. It looked so serious, and then I looked at the projector since that was where their gaze were directed to.I squinted my eyes while I tried to understand what was happening. No way! How did that get into that place? My heart started beating so fast, knowing that this matter wouldn't be taken lightly.It was a picture of me discussing with Erika's parents, on the day they were travelling. It also showed a picture of me discussing with the pilot, and then another picture of the jet I had told them to take crashed.
Chapter 49Andrew's POV.This was the right time for me to take what I have always wanted for the past few years. It had been a very hard thing for me, but I didn't expect that we would get it as easy this way.I have a lot of shares on my hand right now, and I happened to let all the shareholders to be on my side. I happened to buy some shares from the shareholders doubling the amount they used to buy it.I was prepared for this day. An urgent shareholders meeting was held, and I heard he wasn't there yet. This would be a very good opportunity for me, and I shouldn't lose it that way.My driver drove into the company, while I came down from the car elegantly. A lot of people were surprised to see right at the company. I bet they were surprised to see coming down from the car that I ha brought.It was one of the latest car, and I just decided to bring it here also. O was led to the place where the meeting would be taking place. I sat among the shareholders.Most of them were not surpr
Chapter 50Erika's POV."Mom! Dad! Were you really murdered? Were you murdered or it was something else? I need an answer from you two." I was currently at my parent's grave with the tears flowing down my eyes."You have been here for the past two hours. It will soon rain." I heard David voice that was right behind me."You can go. We would get to talk later." I informed him, and he rubbed his head with his hand in frustration. "You know there was no way I would allow you to stay here alone." He answered me, while he sat right beside me."I feel like you should meet with him, and ask him for the truth. That way you would be able to know the real truth about everything." He added, and I slowly looked at him."Are you sure he wouldn't do something like that? I bet that was the reason why he had been avoiding me for the past few years. That was the reason why he couldn't beat to marry me." I tried to hold back my tears, but they disappointed me again.He moved close to me, and made me c
Chapter ONE.Erika's POV."The necklace looks so good on you." Raven complimented me with a very huge smile on her face, and immediately she helped me with the necklace on my neck. I touched the diamond necklace that was given to me by my future in-laws.It looked so good, and it matched with my white long dress. I would be getting married today. It was really a happy day in my life, and words can't express how happy I was.I stood up from the chair, and admired my body shape that I could see through the mirror. "We should get going now. The guests must be waiting for us at the church." Raven reminded me, while she stared at the wristwatch that was right on her wrists.I grabbed my crystal purse that was on top of the drawer, while she walked right behind me. We entered the car that was sent to pick us up at his house. My parents must be at the location already.We were almost at the church. I was still finding it hard to believe that I would be getting married to him after four years
Chapter Two.*FIVE YEARS LATER*Charles's POV."I'm sorry. I will let you know my decision later in the day. You can speak with my secretary, and she would give you a date we could get to meet with each other." I was not comfortable with what the CEO was telling me at the time.I happened to know about his company, and it turned out that I was not looking for someone like him. My company was going to do his company a very huge favor, but it wouldn't add anything to mine.We live in a selfish world. We have to make sure that we don't get to help people anyhow without getting anything in return, especially when it comes to business.I should have rejected him straight, but I didn't want to become the one that everyone fears."Okay!" He excused himself from where I was. I took the shot that was on the table while I gulped down all the wine that was in it. The meeting was a little bit boring for me. I wasn't a fan of parties, and I didn't know how to interact with people either.I just ca

Chapter 44Erika's POVAre the two trying to make me feel bad or what? Why do they have to act that way anytime that I could enter? It happened on the day she came to his house also, and this morning. The was they were really acting was really breaking my heart.The fact that he even had to act like he was worried about me when he was acting that way towards her was really annoying. I was the main topic of what was happening at the company right now, all because of them.Does he not have any sympathy for me at all?The only person who cared about me was Andrew. He was the one who told me earlier not to let their words bother me. I was so shocked when I saw him at the elevator earlier, since I didn't see him at first when I entered. I must have been blinded by my thoughts. A lot of people were talking right behind me, and in my face. It was really depressing. I just have a few more weeks, and I should be able to manage staying here till then. I gulped down the whole coffee I made imme
Chapter 43.Betty's POV.Yes! I never imagined I was going to kiss Charles in my life. I was o happy that I happened to come across the evidence that he had. It was a picture that showed him changing the pilot that was going to take Erika's parents out of the country that night, after he had delayed a because if his personal issues.He also choose the private jet they were going to take then. I didn't know if he was guilty of the crime or not, but I knew he has been keeping it as a secret from Erika.I felt that was going to help me a lot. I would get closer to him, and then. Use that opportunity to destroy him. I didn't give a fuck about him, all what I cared about at this line was the money, and Andrew.Andrew helped me a lot, and this was the way that I could get tor repay him. He was in support of my plan, and that was a great opportunity for him to snatch Erika from him.I didn't know the beef that was between him, and Charles. Apart from the fact that he wanted to take the compa
Chapter 42.Erika's POV.I was with Andrew while I took a sip of the drink that was right on the table. It was so awkward between us; maybe I shouldn't have requested that stupid idea from him."You want me to date you so that he will feel jealous?" He repeated what I had said. I didn't know if it was too extreme. Why should I even go through the stress of making me jealous when he claimed he didn't love me? I was regretting it badly now.I took in a huge sigh after realizing that I might have asked for too much."What you said was really heartbreaking." He told me, while I blinked my eyes several times trying to understand what he was trying to say.I thought it was going to make him mad or something! It was heartbreaking instead?"What do you mean by that?" I was really confused. How did I get to break his heart? I sucked on my lips while he wouldn't stop staring at me. I took the drink that was on the table and then kept on drinking from it while I waited for an answer from him."I
