Charlotte had done everything in her power to make Milton love her. For three years, she had showered him with love and was the perfect housewife, even giving up her identity as the lost daughter of the Buchanan family. However, on their third anniversary and her birthday, he slammed a divorce paper on her face. “Your sister has woken up from her coma. You were nothing but a replacement for her. Don’t think that I don’t know of your plans of hurting her three years ago and taking her fiance from her? Hurry and sign the divorce papers before she gets discharged.” Milton said, coldly. Charlotte, shocked and hurt by Milton's accusations, tried to explain herself, but he was not willing to listen. At that moment, she realized that all her efforts had been for nothing. She had been nothing but a murderer and a replacement in Milton's eyes. In a bold decision, She embraced her identity as the only daughter of the Buchanan family. Her days of being a submissive housewife were over. As the truth about her past and the events that led to her foster sister's coma began to unravel, Milton Henderson found himself captivated by this new Charlotte—the one who stood before him with her head held high, declaring, You Shouldn't Have Doubted Me, Mr. Henderson. Hurry up and leave before my brothers return.”
View MoreMilton’s teeth gritted as he heard Connor’s words. “What the hell are you talking about? She is my wife!”“Ex-wife,” Connor corrected. “You two are divorced, and don’t you feel bad calling your ex-wife 'wife' in front of your girlfriend?”My eyes darted to Olivia, who was glaring at me. Just as Connor had said, she was probably pissed that Milton had called me his wife. I have to admit, I was pissed too.How dare he call me his wife after completely ditching me and choosing someone else? We are divorced, and he has no right to call me that.“What does it have to do with you?” Milton demanded. “How dare she say all of those things about me?”Charlotte held onto Connor’s shirt and tugged it. He looked down at her, and she arched her brows. “Don’t let him get close to me. I don’t want his filthy hands on me.”Milton glared at her. “Charlotte!”Connor nodded and glanced at Milton. “You heard her. You two aren’t an item anymore. So, we’ll make our order and take our seats.”Milton's teeth
Ralph glared at Connor as soon as the words left his lips. “I thought I told you she was out of reach and that you shouldn’t ask her out.”Charlotte stared at her brother. “Come on, Ralph. It’s only dinner, and besides, I haven’t had the chance to look around the city.”Connor was grinning at Ralph while Ralph was glaring back at him. Charlotte wondered why they were at each other's throats when they were supposed to be best friends.“Why are you so worked up, Ralph?” Earl questioned. “Charl can be friends with your friends. Shouldn’t you be happy that she’s going out with someone you grew up with and know so well?”Ralph frowned. “Hell no. Connor shouldn’t be taking my little sister out to dinner. We could all eat here.”Charlotte chuckled. “It’s only dinner. We’ll be back soon.” She ushered Connor out of the house and shut the door before Ralph could complain.Ralph looked like a mini-dad, and he was so cute acting like that. Connor glanced at her as they reached his car, a sly smil
“How was work today?” Luther asked as soon as Charlotte walked into the house.It was already evening, and they were all home.Her brothers were seated on the couch. Ralph had a book in his hand, Earl was using a laptop, Carl had a plate of sliced apples, and Luther looked at her with his arms folded.“Good. I met Ruan today, and he’s a great assistant,” she answered. “Hello, brothers.”They all looked up at her, each of them smiling.“Welcome home.”“Welcome.”“Anything for me?”Carl stood up and walked with her as she headed for the stairs.“I’ll come back downstairs after I’ve showered,” she informed them. “And I’m starving too.”“Okay!” her brothers called after her. “Don’t be late.”Sighing, she turned to Carl, who was walking right next to her. “Do you have something to say to me?”He nodded, holding out the plate of apples for her to take. “Apples?”She paused, picked up one of the apple slices with a fork, and popped it into her mouth. The taste filled her senses, and she smil
"How dare she hang up on me!" Milton yelled, nearly throwing his phone across the room before Olivia stopped him.He couldn’t believe it—Charlotte had never hung up on him before, but now she had done it without a shred of remorse.Olivia gently took the phone from his hand. "Calm down. I don’t understand why you’re so mad. She only said those things because she was angry at me for waking up.""We're divorced, Olivia," he responded, his voice tight with anger. "She has no right to speak to you like that. You're her sister, but she’s always been mean to you."He looked away, and a sneer of satisfaction crossed Olivia’s face. Now that Milton had brought up their relationship as sisters, she saw her chance to say what she had been holding back."Charlotte didn’t come home last night," Olivia began, feigning concern. "I wonder who she’s staying with now. At the store, she was with three men. They even bought out the whole store just so I couldn’t buy anything."Milton's head snapped towar
The sound of her phone ringing caught her attention yet again. Charlotte glanced at the phone sitting on her desk, a frown forming when she saw who it was—Milton.“What does he want?” she muttered, irritation creeping into her voice. “Calling me like I owe him something.”She was in her office, going through files that outlined everything she needed to know about the company. Connor sat next to her, while Rues was across from them. Connor’s eyes flicked to the screen as it rang, but Charlotte ignored the call and continued reading.“There will be a party in three days,” Rues announced. “It’s not like other business parties. It’s a chance for you to meet the CEOs of the companies we’ve partnered with and receive invites from other companies as well.”Charlotte’s stomach churned. She had always disliked parties, and this one would force her to introduce herself by her real identity and stay in the spotlight. The thought terrified her.“There are a few companies that have reached out to
The party had begun in the large room of the company. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the CEO, and the ladies were murmuring among themselves.“When is the CEO arriving? Daliah said she saw the CEO going into the elevator, and he was incredibly handsome,” one of the ladies mumbled. “They even locked eyes, but she refused to tell us what color his eyes were.”Daliah stood in the corner proudly, having deceived the others into believing she had seen the CEO’s face.“He already has an assistant, and Daliah said she was ugly. It’s like he hired her to keep his professionalism intact.”The murmurs continued until the large door finally opened. Everyone stopped talking, their gaze turning to the door with curiosity. They couldn’t wait to see the new CEO who would take over the company.Rues was the first to walk in, holding a file in his hand as he adjusted his glasses.“That’s just Rues,” Daliah muttered. “The CEO has dark, silky black hair.”Just then, Charlotte walked into the ro
Charlotte stared at the phone as it rang, pondering why he would be calling her. She had no idea. Ignoring the call, she placed the phone on the nightstand and went into the shower. They had no business with each other, and she didn’t remember leaving anything behind at his house.The Next Morning,At Charlrin Company, the employees were buzzing about who the new CEO might be.“Have you heard about the new CEO? I heard the family who owns this company has several sons. Perhaps one of them is taking the position,” one of the ladies speculated, her gaze lingering on the one next to her.They were both holding files and heading for the elevator.“I bet our new CEO will be charming,” the second replied. “I’d love to be his personal assistant. That might bring me closer to him.”“No way! How can you get the position when I’m here? I’ve been using the elevator next to the one the president uses on purpose. What if we get to see him earlier than the others?”They got into the elevator, and j
Charlotte grinned. “Okay.” She swiped the card on the machine.“Payment Successful,” the machine beamed.The saleslady smiled at Charlotte. “Congratulations. You are now the owner of everything in this store. Can I get your address so I can have it delivered?”Charlotte shook her head. “Give me your contact information instead. I’ll text you the location.”“Okay, ma’am.” The saleslady beamed. She hurriedly wrote her contact information on a sheet of paper and handed it to Charlotte. “Here it is, ma’am.”Charlotte took the sheet of paper and tucked it into her handbag. “That’s all.” She took the phone she’d picked out earlier and glanced back at her brother and Connor. “I’m done.”“Let’s go, then,” Ralph said.It was then that she finally asked the question that had been on her mind. “Why are you here? I thought you had business to attend to.”“I did,” Ralph replied. “I took care of it already. I’m here to get you. Your phone wasn’t going through.”Luther cleared his throat, his brows
“Hey! Stop flirting with her!” A voice yelled, making Charlotte jolt back to reality.The handsome stranger pulled away. “I wasn’t flirting. I just wanted to see what she looked like. I flew back as fast as I could just to see her.”The person who had spoken earlier was her eldest brother Ralph, and he was standing next to the handsome stranger, glaring at him. “She is off limits. I hope you know that.”The handsome stranger crooked his head to the side. “Fine. Whatever.”“I am being serious,” Ralph stated.“Okay.”Olivia’s gaze lingered on Ralph and the handsome stranger, her eyes glinting with envy. It had only been ten days, yet Charlotte had found five handsome men for herself.Remembering that she was still dealing with Olivia, Charlotte turned her head to look at her. “Just because you found yourself three sugar daddies doesn’t mean that you can show off their wealth,” Olivia muttered. “And are you doing this to make Milton feel bad about himself or trying to embarrass him by g
Charlotte stood in the kitchen, she was making her husband's favorite dish since it was their third anniversary. She texted him and asked him to come back home, so she was in a hurry to be done cooking before he came back.She hoped that he had read the text or at least remembered the anniversary, she hoped it wouldn’t be the same as the previous years. The sound of the kitchen door opening interrupted her thoughts. Assuming it was the maid, she called out, “I can handle the dishes myself. There’s no need to help me.” She spun around to find her husband standing there instead. “Milton?”Milton’s glare was colder and more pronounced than ever before. “Sign it,” he ordered, his voice devoid of warmth as he handed her a sheet of paper. “We are getting divorced, Charlotte.”Confused, Charlotte dropped the spoon she was holding and took the papers from him. Reading the words "Divorce Agreement," she shook her head in disbelief. “Milton, what is this? This must be a joke, right? We can’t g
