CHAPTER 21

CHARLOTTE'S POV“Caleb? You mean Owen's cousin?” I asked and Beatrice nodded. “He said he's here to take you to Owen.” We have never talked before, this is definitely gonna be awkward.“Thank you so much, I'll go to him now. And please don't feel guilty or apologize for anything. You were simply obeying orders.” I smiled and she smiled back as she walked away and I picked up my purse as I walked outside.Indeed, Caleb was standing by a car that was probably his and when he saw me, he bowed as he extended a hand to me. I was caught by surprise and after a moment of hesitation, I placed my hands in his.“Oh my lady of radiant beauty. What fortune have I stumbled upon to be able to hold thy hand?” He said in a funny British accent and I laughed at how dramatic he was. I curtsied as well as I tried to copy his accent.“Probably a fortune of a lifetime, oh handsome man of valor.” I said and laughed and he joined me as well. “I don't think I've introduced myself to you before. I'm Caleb, yo

CHAPTER 22

OWEN'S POVShe linked her arms with mine and I just couldn't stay mad at her for a second. She looked so happy and innocent beside me and I knew deep within me that divorcing her would be a very hard decision to make. I just couldn't help but fall in love with her. I spotted the rare gem on her neck and instantly knew that father got it for her. She deserved more than this anyway, and I'll definitely get her something more priceless. As we walked past my employees, we were welcomed with looks of surprise and shock. Not that I can blame them, I never imagined I'd have a lady hold my hand like this either.She noticed and instead of pulling her hand away, she rested her head on my arm as she smiled sweetly and I felt my heart flip multiple times. She would definitely be the death of me. “So, we're getting married officially right?” She asked and I nodded. “Are there gonna be wedding rings? Because these ones on our fingers are engagement rings and not proper wedding rings right?” She

CHAPTER 23

OWEN'S POV“Father-” I started but he silenced me immediately with a glare and I immediately kept shut. This is gonna be a long talk.“Where have you been since the last two weeks?” He asked and as I opened my mouth to answer, he cut me short with a tsk.“I don't know why you always choose to be so irresponsible! You brought a girl home, fine. But you abandoned like she was some kind of home property! Didn't you try to consider her feelings!? Do you know what she's been going through because you weren't home?” He yelled in his hoarse tone and I could feel my legs trembling.“Father, it was not my fault-”“Then whose fault is it? Mine!? Listen, I don't care what you and your mother already decided on, but I won't let you leave Charlotte for anybody else! Especially not Catherine!” He said and I scoffed in disbelief.“Father, I hate Catherine. I've never had it in mind to marry Catherine. Moreover, Charlotte and I officially got married today. So please calm down father.” I said with a

CHAPTER 24

CHARLOTTE'S POV“I don't know how it happened Charlotte… but I'm madly in love with you. I guess you were right after all, you have taken over my heart and now I can't even breathe when you're not near. I love you Charlotte. Will you marry me Charlotte? For real this time, no contracts or proposals, just you and me. Will you?” Owen said as he got on his knees and opened a ring box containing a ring with the exact same gem on my necklace!“Owen- what are you talking about? The contract clearly stated that we wouldn't fall in love with each other. Now you're asking me to marry you? We haven't even spent a month together! A-and I don't love you the same way Owen. I'm sorry…” I said and my heart broke at his hurt expression as he stood up and handed me the box.“Whenever you're ready, or whenever you fall in love with me, I'll place that ring on your finger.” He smiled sadly as he walked away and I stared at the ring box in my hand. What just happened?I jolted awake as I stared at the ce

CHAPTER 25

OWEN'S POVMaybe I was a little harsh on her. But everything I said was the truth! She's too naive for her own good.I contemplated going after her, but what will happen to my pride? My brain wants me to just let her go, but my heart wants me to go after her and apologize.I decided to follow my heart since I have to be a responsible husband. I stood up and went after her, already rehearsing how to apologize to her in my head.I spotted her standing outside and I took a deep breath as I made my way to her. I frowned and slowed down when I saw her talking to Caleb. Since when did they become close friends?I walked closer to them and my heart almost stopped when I heard her words. A date?“What are you doing?” I questioned as I grabbed her wrist and she quickly pulled away from my grip.“Woah, calm down big guy. She was just kidding. Right?” Caleb looked at Charlotte and she shrugged before shaking her head.“I wasn't kidding. I meant it. Let's go on a date. It didn't state in the cont

CHAPTER 26

CHARLOTTE'S POVFor some reason unknown to me, I was giddy with excitement for the upcoming date. I smiled to myself when I thought of how cute he looked when he was embarrassed.“Wait a minute, did he actually plan on having a date in McDonald's?” I soliloquized as I glanced through my closet, still amused by his nervous expression.He had left me in his room in embarrassment and had gone to only God knows where. I moved dress after dress, searching for the one perfect for a date.Rose would have done a great job helping me with this. I sighed sadly as I sat on the bed, my eyes drifting to my phone. I grabbed it and decided to call her. I missed her so much.I searched for her name on my phone but couldn't find it. That's strange. I didn't delete it even though I was mad at her.I knew her number by heart so I typed it out on my phone and I stared at the screen in confusion. Blocked? I'd never block my best friend.Did I block her by accident? Is that what she meant when she said she

CHAPTER 27

OWEN'S POVI felt nervous, excited, anxious, happy, all because of my date with Charlotte. Roselia's words had put me on edge earlier but her suggestions weren't bad at all. EARLIER… “Owen?” Her voice rang from the other end and I replied to her, wondering what must have happened that she had to call me. “I know you'd be busy at work right now, but I wanted to ask if you could talk to your security guard so that he'd let me inside the house. I've been standing outside for a while and for some reason, I've been banned from coming in.”“Really? I'll be there in a minute.” I dropped the call as I walked outside and ordered that she be let in immediately. I asked the guard who instructed him to not let her in, and he told me that Catherine had specifically instructed that she shouldn't be allowed to enter the house no matter what. “She's revealing her true colors little by little, isn't she?” Roselia sighed as she walked in with me and she suddenly turned to me, a surprised look on h

CHAPTER 28

CHARLOTTE'S POVMy heart dropped when I heard Catherine's voice. When did she get in here? “Catherine! You're here.” I smiled as I stood up immediately and took her hand, pulling her with me to the bed. She looked at me, confusion still etched on her face as she sat on the bed and I cleared my throat to ease the tension in the room. “I'll ask again. Why am I being suspected?” She questioned, her eyes fixed on Roselia and I could almost use a knife to slice through the tension in the room right now. “It's just a misunderstanding-”“I'm Roselia. Charlotte's best friend.” Rose interrupted my words as she folded her hands and stared at her with a grumpy expression. “You're suspected of trying to take my best friend away from me. Are you guilty or not?” She grumbled like a child as she huffed and looked away. I stared at Rose in shock, my mind blown at her extreme acting skills. What is this? Catherine looked confused and then her expression changed into that of realization as a sma

CHAPTER 29

OWEN'S POVI was supposed to be worried when I heard someone scream from Charlotte's room but I knew that only meant everything was going as planned. It would definitely hurt Charlotte, but she had to know the truth. I took a look at the clock that read 10:32 am and I let out a sigh as I continued brushing my teeth. I stared at the box sitting on the bed and I moved closer to it as I dusted off imaginary dust on it. It has to be perfect. I rinsed my mouth and washed my face as I stared at myself in the mirror for a while. Operation ‘Make Charlotte fall in love with me’ had officially started and I would do everything in my power to make sure it's accomplished. My mind drifted back to the messages I got yesterday and I frowned at how uneasy it made me feel. I have to find out who that person is and what they mean. I took the box and headed for Charlotte's room, my mind racing and heart flipping continuously. I stood outside the door as I patted my chest gently and knocked on it gen

CHAPTER 30

CHARLOTTE'S POVI gulped down the glass of water in my hand as I patted my chest gently. Kids? Did I hear him wrongly or something?Owen cleared his throat as he stared at his food blankly. I started to eat slowly, my mind racing at the thought of actually having kids with Owen.Stop thinking about that, silly! You and Owen aren't having kids. It was stated clearly in the contract. You're overthinking everything.“Father, we're taking things one step at a time. It wouldn't be ideal to just rush things like that. Charlotte and I are going on a date this evening.” He stated, his voice calm and gentle.Mr Walker seemed to be surprised as he stared at Owen in awe. I doubt he's ever heard Owen speak like this before. Man, I'm doing an amazing job on this man.“A date, you say. That sounds beautiful. I hope you've made arrangements.” He chirped in and I smiled at the memory of the dress in my room.“Yes he did. He booked a reservation at The Whitney and also got me a beautiful dress. Isn't
