Chapter 35.Erika's POV.Our relationship grew a lot much better these days, and I love it. We decided we were going to the hospital today, so I would know a suitable time for me to carry out the surgery.I got a call from David as we were in the car, "Why didn't you tell me that you were sick? Why did I have to hear it from someone else? It's not necessary for you to gatekeep things that way." David fired back immediately I picked up his call. He didn't even give me a chance for me to talk."How did you know that I was sick? Who told you about it?" I questioned him, and then he mentioned Charles's name. Charles looked at me, and then smiled."He told me that you would be needing a break, and we should get to out the project on a hold." He added "Yes! That would be a good idea. I would be getting operated on, so I wouldn't have time." I explained to him. Charles was so thoughtful, he even took a step before I got to do so. He was so caring."Let me know whatever you would be doing. W
Chapter 36.Charles's POV.It was 12A.M. I got to the entrance of my house while I entered my passcode, and the entered into the house. The first thing that caught my surprise was Erika who was sleeping on the couch. It turned out that she was waiting for my arrival, but I must have disappointed her by coming later which was not my intentions.I wondered how she must be feeling now. I should have told her where O was going to at least. I carried her in a bridal style while I dropped on her her bed.She would start staying at the hospital today, so I was disappointed in myself for not staying with her. We had a traitor in our company who released one of our projects to the rivalry company.It had been a two years project we have been working with our partner company, we would be the one who carry all the blame, and they might want to really go hard on us by increasing their compensation fee.If care is not taken, my company my go bankrupt. This is a serious matter what needed to be tak
Chapter 37.Erika's POV.It was in the night already, and Charles was not back. I didn't to ask Raven what was wrong since he said he was going to tell me by himself once he was done solving all the problems.I'd he couldn't make it, he should manage at least called or something. Did he even know how worried I was about him? He shouldn't do anything that would be a huge risk to his heart.I didn't know if he was taking note of those little things that could be a huge risk to his heart. "You have to sleep well this night. You would be taking the surgery tomorrow night." The doctor is informed me, interrupting me from my thoughts while I let out a huge sigh.I haven't eaten anything for the past few house, and I was told not to do anything till when the surgery would commence. I didn't know why the doctor told them, but it seemed like it was a role that they were meant to follow, and I must get to obey also.I heard a knock on the door immediately the doctor left, and it was then I saw
Chapter 39Charles's POV.I got a call from the police that the perpetrator had been found, and it was someone who tipped them about it, and he also sent the evidence to me. "What are you guys waiting for? Arrest him immediately." I shouted over the phone, while I heaved a deep sigh of relief after the news I had just heard. This had never happened to me before, I loosed a lot of money during these five days.I loosed more than half a billion of dollars, and it was really bad. I switched off my phone, and then saw a lot of messages from Erika. She had her surgery already? Why didn't the doctor tell me? I grabbed my suit while I walked out of the board room."The culprit has been found. Tell the manager to take care of the rest." My personal assistant tried stopping me when I was going, but I cut her off before she could get to talk back to me.I hurriedly went to the hospital, and then I saw Andrew pushing her on the wheelchair at the hospital garden. I didn't know the reason, but th
Chapter 39.Charles's POV.Erika, and I were in the same room while we discussed leaving Andrew alone. I was so happy that she wasn't longer angry with me, just like.the way I had imagine d that she was going to be angry at me. She looked so beautiful even after surgery. The doctor came into the room after knocking interrupting the both of us, "We are in need of a file, we really need tye file to do some things." The doctor requested while I let out a huge sigh. "How am I going to get it? They are at my house." She answered the doctor. "I can help you with them then." I assured her. "Alright. Once you are there I would give you more details about where you can find the keys." She informed me. "Are you sure you would be okay alone?" I questioned her before I walked out of the room, while she nodded, and let out a soft smile. I drove to the house, and entered through the pass code she gave to me. It as the date that we got to break up. Why would she set something like that as her p
Chapter 40.Erika's POV.*Few Days After*Andrew assisted me out of the hospital while I hoped that I was going to see Charles. The other day I told him to get out of the room, he hadn't been to the room since then. I was planning to tell him he was the father of my child, but it didn't seemed like he wanted to know anymore!I shouldn't be bothered by his choice, but I can't help myself from getting worried, and I needed to do something about it. "What about Charles?" I questioned Raven before I entered Andrew's car.She was waiting with me right at the side of his side, together with Rose. "I haven't seen him in awhile now. He must have been going to his work place. It doesn't seem like he wanted to see you or something." She informed me, while I rubbed my hand against my forehead."I have to go now. Rose, and I are going out." Raven told me, while I hugged my daughter before she then entered her car, and drove off right at my front.I watched as their car drove off while I couldn't s
Chapter 41.Charles's POV.Imagine going to against your wish, and doing what you don't want to do. That was the situation I was in right now. I couldn't think of anything that would me make me come out of this situation except I walk up to her myself, and then tell her the that I was involved in the death of her parents.I looked at the disgusting bitch who was right at my side, had this always been her intentions from the start? She never looked like someone who would be able to do this in the end. I needed to warn Erika about Andrew It seemed like the two might be working together, and it wouldn't be good for him. "Why are you staring at me that way? You must be really angry at me! There is no way that you would be able to get out of this situation except if you are willingly to let me tell her." She interrupted my thoughts while she stared back at me. She was laying right in my bed while I sat at the edge. "Why are you doing all of this? What is your purpose?" I questioned her,
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
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
