Chapter 20.Erika's POV.Some of the team members were already at the beach, I had to change to the bikini that was provided for us. It fitted me perfectly, but I was a little bit shy wearing this.I mean Charles was going to be there. "He has explored your body enough, and touched almost every part in your body. Why should you be shy?" My subconscious reminded me. That was true, there was no reason for me to be shy.I came out of the dressing room, and walked to where the beach was. "You should come and play volleyball." One of the workers shouted immediately she saw me coming from afar. She didn't have to shout that way, she was giving me the attention that I didn't want.I took in a huge sigh, and then walked to where they were. I saw Charles who was sitting right on the beach, and his eyes were fixed on me. Does he have to amen it obvious that he was staring at me? His stares were so intense, and he didn't he bother to bulge.It was then Andrew came between us, "You look so good."

He complimented me, while I let out a soft chuckle, and didn't bother to look back.We were still grouped according to the team that we were. It was time for us to play the volleyball,
.Chapter 22.Charles's POV."Are you not here already! You should be fast." I called Linda as I waited for the car to come, and pick us up. I never knew she was going to get this drunk today. We would be going back tomorrow, and she decided to be this drunk.I walked at her back while I minute every single fucking step that she took. Her shoes were in her hand while she walked barefooted. "You really want to know the father of my child? It was a guy who I slept with back ago, what's his name again? Charles? David? Williams?" She giggled so hard.She wanted to fall there, but I hurriedly rushed to where she as, and the held her before she fell down completely. "You look so pretty! Pretty like the sun.." She tried singing the Lana del ray song. She was a big fan of Lana del ray, and I admire her love for her stan.She touched my cheeks with her palm, while she brought her lips closer to mine. "Your lips are still are soft as ever. They are so cute. Don't let any girl kiss it, I want to
Chapter 23.*The Company's Anniversary*Erika's POV.I looked at myself right in the mirror with the cloth I bought yesterday. It looked so good on me. It wasn't up to the one that Charles bought for me, but there was no reason why I had to wear it since I would not be on his date at the bed of everything.I walked out of the room, and it happened that he was downstairs already. To be very honest, he looked so breath taking. The shit he bought really looked great on him."Good evening! You look so great in your suit." I complimented him, and I collected see how sad he was. I wasn't happy with the decision I made.*FLASHBACKS*"You need to make sure that you get to reject him as your mate." Betty called me out."What are you trying to say? I thought you said you wanted us to be friends, and you didn't have to to do." I tried to correct her, but it looked like she was just lying to me the either day."That is why I told you not to trust anyone." My subconscious reminded me."You have no

Chapter 24.Erika's POV.Nobody was allowed to leave the hall as Charles's body was rushed to the hospital. I gasped for breath while I was still wondering what happened. It turned out that he was poisoned."I pray he is okay." That was the only thing that I could tell myself that moment. The police arrived in no time, and they cleared a lot of people, leaving ten of us right in the hall.Betty, Andrew, some few workers and I in the hall. "We have narrowed down the suspects to you ten, and one of you would be amongst those who would have poisoned him." The head police sat on the chair that was right in front of us. He looked so confident as he talked to us. "How sure are you if we were the one who poisoned him? Why would we do that? We don't have any reason why we would do something like that. We are not that kind of personal. So you should better get your facts right. You will never find anything on us." I tried to tell them."You look like you could be the one who poisoned him, sea
Chapter 25.Erika's POV.I walked into the hospital slowly and then saw him sitting right on the bed while he was eating. He noticed as I walked right into the room, and then he saw me. The next thing that appeared next to his face was a very huge smile.He dropped his food on the cabinet, and he stood up from the bed, and then came to give me a hug. It was the two of us who were in the room anyway. So I was not bothered a bit."How are you feeling?" I questioned him, and immediately he stopped hugging me. "I should be the one asking you that question instead. I should be the one asking how you are doing. I heard you got locked up for a crime that you didn't even commit. Likewise, I wondered how possible that would have been. You lost a lot of weight already." He said this to me while I scoffed.Did I really lose a lot of weight?"What made you think that I wasn't the one who poisoned you? What if he was really the one?" I questioned him. I felt his grip on my wrist, and my eyes went
Chapter 26.Erika's POV.I came down from the cab, and he walked to meet me where I was. "I did not know that you would be this fast." He led me into his house; he was putting on a short and a big T-shirt."You can have your seat; let me bring my laptop." He stated this and then went upstairs in a hurry. I looked around the house, and the interior designs were okay. He wasn't too much of a minimalist or maximalists. He was quite in between.There was a huge frame that was located right in the middle of his house, and it looked so great." It looked like the picture he took with his family. What he said was really true; his family was from the rich side.I knew his family, but I didn't know him. I bet they must have kept him hidden because he was adopted. Furthermore, I wondered what the little young boy just went through."I'm back!" His voice interrupted my thoughts while I smiled, and then I walked back to him."What were you staring at? Why were you staring?" He questioned me"Your
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 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 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. 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 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 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 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
