You Shouldn't Have Doubted Me CHAPTER 20
Milton’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

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

Milton carried Olivia into the house, her hand wrapped around his shoulder. Getting into the house, he was expecting to see Charlotte in the house. He was waiting for her to come out and perhaps plead with him not to divorce.“I heard my elder sister is married to you,” Oliva muttered, her gaze focused on him. “Why don’t I see her anywhere?”He set her on the couch. “I already offered her the divorce papers, that Vixen has no place here after what she did to you.”A pitiful look appeared on Olivia’s face. “It’s all my fault that you had to divorce Charlotte. If I didn’t wake up, you both would still be together. If I had died like she wanted me to, this wouldn’t have happened…”“Pull yourself together Olivia. This has nothing to do with you, she got what she deserved…”“But…”“No buts.” He chimed in. “Forget about her. I will check if she is still home and if she is, I will make her sign the papers.”Olivia nodded. “What do you want to eat? I will ask the maids to make it for you.”“

That question made Olivia flinch. She wasn’t expecting that at all.“Apologize right now, Harper,” Milton said, taking his seat next to Olivia.“Why would I?” Harper snapped, folding her hands. “You invited us to dinner and I agreed to be here because I thought my sister-in-law was going to be here but all I see is your mistress. How long have you been cheating on your wife?”Milton and Harper's relationship wasn’t good since they were kids but it grew even worse when he got married to Charlotte. It was like she was holding a grudge against him, one that she wasn’t ready to let go.“Charlotte and I are divorced,” Milton announced. His father, who hadn’t been paying attention to him, froze halfway. Harper's eyes widened and his mother scowled at him.“What do you mean?” Harper rose to her feet, slamming her hand against the table, loud enough to draw everyone in the restaurant's attention. “Why did you divorce Charlotte? Is this because of this bitch?” she pointed an accusation finger

Milton’s frown deepened. The entire conversation was being recorded, and what made it worse was the expression she was giving him. She no longer looked at him with warmth, even though she had just signed the divorce agreement a few hours ago.The people at the restaurant were now focused on Milton and Charlotte. A few recognized Milton, but they had no idea who Charlotte was.“Who is she?” one person asked. “Isn’t that Milton Henderson?”“I’ve always known he was married, but I had no idea I would get to see his wife on the day of their divorce.”“He divorced her for his ex? Unbelievable.”Seeing that everyone was speaking about him, Harper groaned. He was disgracing the family name yet again.“Charlotte, come with me, and we will go to a private space and talk about this,” Milton bristled.Charlotte frowned at him. “You still haven’t gotten it yet, Mr. Henderson. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.” She shoved her feelings aside and turned to her brothers. “Let’s get out o

Charlotte sighed in relief as soon as they were far from the restaurant. She had to control herself not to snap at him there, but he looked far different in just five hours after their divorce. Milton had always had a huge stain on him.“You know the stain on his white shirt?” Harper said with a grin. “I was the one who did it.”By this time, they were heading to the car. Her brothers had walked ahead, giving her privacy to talk to Harper.“You did a great job,” she responded.Harper’s eyes widened. “I thought you were going to reprimand me for doing that.”“I won’t.”“You usually do.”“Not anymore,” she implied.Harper shrugged. “How am I sure that you wouldn’t go back to him?”“I won’t. Not after all that he has done to me.”A smile broke on Harper's lips. “Sounds good to me.”“Could you tell Mom that I didn’t get married to her son like she asked me to? And I also didn’t greet her when I saw her—”“She wouldn’t mind,” Harper interrupted her. “Milton is going to have a hard time spe

It didn't take long for her to reach her parents, who wore expressions of seriousness.'They're going to scold me for sure,' she thought. 'They're going to ask why I refused to go with them previously.'Her father glanced down at her, and she felt so small, but his lips broke into a smile after a few seconds, stunning her.“Thank goodness you're back,” Laura cried out, pulling her daughter into her arms.The action startled Charlotte. She tried to pull back, but the hug was just too tight.“I thought you were never going to come back,” Laura said, then burst into tears.Charlotte was so stunned she had no idea how to respond. She didn't understand why they were acting that way because she was home.Although it felt weird to her that she was being hugged by a motherly figure, it felt so warm, too, that she wanted more.“Lotte,” her father called. “Welcome back.”It took an hour for Laura to let go of Charlotte. It would have taken longer if it wasn't for dinner.The family sat at the d

Ten days later, Milton was seated in front of his desk, his hand ruffling his hair in frustration.“Have you heard a word about her?” Milton questioned, leaning back against the chair and pinching the bridge of his nose. “Have you found her location?”He was on a phone call, and after asking his man to find the location of Charlotte, he had gotten no response so far.“No, sir,” the man on the other end of the call replied. “There has been no news about her so far.”“Did she go back home?”“I don’t understand the home you are talking about, sir.”“She isn’t at the Wilsons yet?”“Yes, she isn’t there.”“How could she not be there?” Milton questioned, yelling.He knew for sure that she didn’t have anywhere to go apart from the Wilsons, but he knew they wouldn’t want her to.“I have no idea, sir.”“Have you checked the streets to see if she’s staying there?”“Yes,” the man answered. “She wasn’t found. However, I heard about you seeing her the night after the divorce when she was given a L

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
You Shouldn't Have Doubted Me CHAPTER 15
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
