*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 came here for one reason: "He would be here soon." Linda, my secretary, came to inform me while I nodded. It was almost time for me to meet with David. I haven't seen David before, so I don't know what he looks like.
He is one of the youngest millionaires, close to being a billionaire. I am the youngest billionaire in the whole country. I still find that amusing, though.
"Just bring him here to me when he is around." I instructed her, while she walked out of my sight.
I heard about him and his company. He said he wanted to see me, and I felt it would be so great if the two of us got to cooperate with each other. I looked around the crowd while my eyes spotted Erika.
"Erika?" I muttered under my breath upon seeing her. My heart started beating a little bit faster. I didn't know the reason why it was that way. All that we had with each other came back to mind.
She is back in town? I remembered how much I looked for her after what happened, but I didn't get to find her. Seeing her this night was so shocking to me.
Our eyes met, and she stared at me for a while before she started moving to where I was. How does she get to come to a party like this? "Erika! Long time, no see." I greeted her immediately, and she got to where I was.
"It has been long. I was expecting to see you here, and I saw you. Your job really suits you well. You look so good as the CEO." She complimented me with a smile on her face.
The smile on her face still looked the same. Why was she trying to act like nothing happened between us? I bet she doesn't even have feelings for me anymore after what I did to her. I bet she doesn't even know the reason why I did that a few years ago.
"Yes! You always wanted to see me in this position, and now you are seeing me." I reminded her while she chuckled. She itched her head in nervousness. "I am so sorry. Did I really say that? I can't remember." She stated while the smile faded from her face slowly.
"It was so weird meeting like this. You should enjoy this meeting." She told me, with the very straight expression on her face.
"I have been looking for you, Erika. Where have you been?" I saw a man interrupting our discussion. The way he placed his hand on he shoulder was a little bit annoying.
Are they in a relationship? Why was he acting that way with her. "I have been here." She said to him while she pecked him right in my presence. I swallowed my saliva while I watched the both of them displaying their love play right at my front.
What are they up to? "Oh! I am so sorry. I am David Wilson." He stretched out his hand for a handshake. He is David? Doesn't even he recognize me? I guess we don't even know each other.
"I am Charles Evans." I introduced myself to him while his hand covered his mouth in shock. I guess he was really surprised..
"Oh! I am so sorry that I didn't get to recognize you." He apologized to me
"It isn't your fault. You just happened not to recognize you, I bet he doesn't know that you were the one also." Erika chipped in while I scoffed.
Out of anger, I grabbed her arm and took her out of the hall. My hand was still on her wrists.
"Who is he? How are you two related to each other? Are you in a relationship already?" I questioned her out of curiosity. I didn't know if I was just being angry, or I was just being jealous.
"You are hurting me, Charles." She told me while I looked at her wrists,and then let her go.
"What made you think that I was going to reply you? Have you forgotten you never loved me? Why are you acting this way? Are you just being insecure?" She scoffed. How was I going to explain to her that everything I said the other day was just a lie.
How was I going to tell her that I was diagnosed with a terminal sickness? I might get to die anytime also?
"What if he is just playing you or something? Are you two in a relationship?" I furthered questioned her. I really want to control myself, and stop asking her these questions, but I couldn't just control myself.
"You didn't have to drag her out that way, don't you think that was too disrespectful of you?" I heard David voice, and saw him right behind her. She was putting on a strapless gown, while he brought out his suit and he wore it for her.
"She is someone special to me. Do you have any problems with it?" He furthered questioned me while he walked to her front.
"We should get going, David. There is no need for us to talk to him. I will explain everything to you at home." Erika held his arm, while she almost walked out of me.
"Whoever I am with has nothing to do with you. When you got my parents' shares and cheated on me, we have nothing to do with each other since then. So you should just mind your business." She turned back to me only for her to tell me that before she got to walk away complete

What the hell is happening to me?

Chapter Three.Erika's POV.I got into David's car while I let out a huge sigh. "You are perfect at acting." I complimented him while I burst out into laughter. It was funny, and at the same time, it was really painful."That is the father of your child? Are you sure you are okay? I mean, you, uhm, you haven't seen him in a while, and with the way he acted, it looked like he still had feeling for you." He questioned me."You know I am not that weak, and besides, my daughter doesn't have a father. I was the one who raised her, and I am her father also." I corrected him. I didn't think that I would ever be able to accept the fact that he was the real father of Rose. I knew how much I struggled to get to the stage where I was. It wasn't easy for me to raise up my child, so I wouldn't just want him to come and claim Rose that way. David ignited the car engine while he drove off. My mind went to all that happened in the past.It was so tough meeting him today, even though I was the one w

Chapter Four.Charles POV.I got to the company in no time. I would be meeting with them today so we could get to discuss the shares and all. After what happened last night, I was really interested in getting into the company.I also have to figure out that David, and Erika have been high school friends, and they both happened to start working together at this company. I also heard that she was the manager, which was quite shocking to me.The receptionist who was there told me the way to the manager's office. "I should have just let my personal assistant follow me." I muttered under my breath immediately when I got to the hallway, and I was finding it hard to locate where her office was. I looked around, and then saw a little girl that was sitting on the chair with her playing the Rubik's Cube. She was really finding it hard to do. I walked up to her level, and squatted up to her level."It is very easy to solve." I interrupted her, while she looked up at me. "Easy? It is pretty hard

Chapter Five.Erika's POV."Don't ever tell me to meet with him again. I really hate seeing him." I dropped the files on David's table while I almost walked out of him."I feel like you two can still come back together. If Charles really feels bad for what he did years ago, He looked like someone who is persistent, and wouldn't give up on you." His words made me stopped walking with my hands on the door knob.I got to my office, and I didn't meet my daughter there. I remembered I had told my personal assistant to make sure to keep her safe.Where did she go again? Out of worry, I walked outside, and started searching for her. My greatest fear was her meeting Charles. I didn't want him to start suspecting a lot of things.I didn't want him to start suspecting that Rose might be his daughter. Likewise, I met my personal assistant on my way to look for my daughter. "Where is Rose? Have you seen her? Do you have any idea of where she might be?" I was panicking at this point, and that was

Chapter Six.Charles's POV*THE NEXT MORNING*I looked at myself in the mirror, while I remembered all that happened yesterday, even though I was hungover at this point. I remembered how I went to the club because I was really heartbroken.*FLASHBACKS*"You should move on from her! It has been five years already; there are a lot of girls out there, and it is so obvious that she doesn't care about you. Do you expect her to go back to you after what you did to her? No reasonable human would do that." Bruce told me while I took another shot of the tequila that the barman had prepared."Yes Bruh! You have to move on. You have to move on. There are a lot of ladies that want you so bad, but you have been snubbing them so hard for the last few years." Tony added. To be honest, I didn't care about what they were saying.I wouldn't change my mind that easily, no matter what. I would prefer to remain single forever than for me to get married to someone else apart from Erika.Furthermore, I spot

Chapter SevenErika's POV.I reached the front of the restaurant, and saw a missed call. It was from the company. I had to call back."This is very urgent, and you are needed. We will be meeting at Luke's company. The meeting was an impromptu one. I am sorry if this got to ruin your plan." David informed me over the phone immediately I called him back.I had to call Raven, and see if she was less busy. "Hello? I have an urgent meeting. Are you less busy? Can you help me watch over my daughter?" I questioned her while she sighed."I am so sorry. I am currently in a shoot, and I will not be able to do it." She apologized to me, while I ended the call. I knew she was the busy type. I was wondering who I was going to drop Rose with.If I were to take her to Luke's company. Things might not get to go well. I looked at my back, and I saw that Charles was still inside the restaurant. His eyes were fixed on us, and he caught me staring at him.That was the only option that I had left. He shru

Chapter EightErika's POVI looked at my friend who was buying some coffee at the restaurant. These people looked so heartless, and I was so scared that they might get to do something to do which I didn't like."So are you going to do it or not?" He called me as that brought me back to reality."I will do it." I started without battling my eyes. There was no way that I would want to see my friend in danger. This was the only thing that I could get to do to save her."We will give you time to get prepared." He told me, while they all walked out of the room..***Later In The Night.I was so hungry, that I haven't eaten anything. My stomach hurts, and the cold was a little bit too much for me. It looked as if I was going to die. I hated this side of me for real.Why does this have to happen to me? Are they even struggling to look for me right now? I bet they must be doing everything in their power to look for me, but there was no way that they were going to see me easily, since this pla

Chapter NineErika's POV.He really looked so serious when he said that he was going to make me his in the end. I guess it would be so fun for me to torment him knowing fully well that I wasn't going to end up with him in the end."Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny in what I just said." He queried me while I let out a huge sigh. "It looked like you are really determined to do it, and that is so cool of you. Let's see when you will give up." I would never allow that to happen while I was still here. I lost my feelings for him, and there was no way that I would end up falling for him again. Furthermore, I did say anything for a while; our eyes bore into each other for a few seconds.I was the first person to break eye contact, just like we did in the past. "You are still bad at keeping eye contact." He laughed so hard at me, and then I laughed also, since we all want to be crazy. He then let go of my wrists while I went to drop the plate right in the kitchenI went back to

Chapter Ten.Charles's POV."Yes, yes, yes!" I squealed in excitement after the news that David just told me. I called Linda, who was outside the office, and she came to me in no time"I need you to do something for me." I told her immediately, and she walked into my office. "What is it?" She questioned me with a smile on her face. I bet she must have seen how happy I was. "I need you to bring me a desk to the office right opposite mine. The lady from Wilson's company will be transferred to ours in no time." I instructed her. "Is that all?" She questioned me while I looked around."Yeah, that's all. There is nothing to discuss anymore." I told her, and she then walked out of the room right away. I talked with David few weeks ago to ask if it was possible for him to talk with her so that I would keep on seeing her, but I didn't know that it was going to be that fast.Furthermore, I wondered what kind of technique that he used, he must be excellent. Did he even have to stress himself o

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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
