Semua Bab Love in Disguise : Bab 31 - Bab 40

I shook my head, brushing away the unsettling thoughts of being caught by Charles's parents. It wasn’t like they’d show up unannounced, right? I took a deep breath and stood up from the couch, needing a distraction.“Mason, what are you up to?” Charles asked, glancing up from his phone.“To make breakfast,” I said, heading toward the kitchen.He got up too, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. “Let me join you. I need to learn. You did say no knowledge is wasted.”I stopped in my tracks, raising an eyebrow. “Remember the last time you tried to help? You practically redecorated the kitchen with eggshells, and the burnt toast could’ve been used as a weapon.”Charles chuckled, the deep sound echoing in the room. “Oh, come on, that day was fun! Anyway, I’ve been practicing.”“Practicing?” I echoed, skeptical.He grinned mischievously. “Yep. I’ve been taking lessons on YouTube.”I stared at him, blinking. “Wait, you? Charles Goldberg, future billionaire, CEO extraordinaire, and my boss, w

Charles POVWhat have I done? My thoughts raced as I paced the room. How did this happen? I was sure I used protection. My frustration boiled over as I muttered to myself. “This cannot be happening” How did she get pregnant? I rubbed my temple trying to force a smile. To make matters worse, her family _ugh. I can't stand them. I was lost in thoughts when Mason walked past me fast, his fists tight and his face hard. His eyes burned with anger, and he didn’t even glance my way.Mason! I called, my voice breaking through the tension. He paused and didn't turn around. ‘I understand you are angry, and you have every right to be,” I said quickly, trying to keep him from walking away. “But please can we talk?”Mason spun around sharply, his jaw clenched. His eyes pierced through me as he replied, “Like I have a choice. “You're my boss”.The venom in his tone stung but I motioned for him to sit. He reluctantly dropped onto the couch across from me, his arms folded tightly across his chest

Charlotte (Mason) POVThe cool night air lingered on my skin as Charles and I returned inside from the balcony. The house felt even colder now, the walls echoing with silence as though they had absorbed years of secrets.Charles ran a hand through his hair, his jaw tight. “You should get some rest, Mason. It’s been a long day.”I hesitated. There was a weight in his voice, a heaviness I couldn’t quite place. “Are you okay?”He looked at me for a moment, his sharp eyes softening slightly. “I will be.”With that, he walked off toward his room, leaving me standing there alone.I turned and headed to the guest room Charles had shown me earlier. The room was beautiful—cream-colored walls, a large bed with soft linens, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden.But despite the luxury, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that hung in the air.---I couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned, my mind racing with thoughts of Tessia, Charles, and the mysterious aura surrounding the Goldbe

Charlotte's POV We had spent hours in the art room, oblivious to the time, and when we got out, everyone was looking for us. "Where have you guys been?" Lucas asked in a hard voice that made me shake. I was really scared, and no words could form in my mind. "We were going through some things in my room, Dad," Noah replied, but Lucas was not convinced, so he left us. Charles came closer and put his hands on my shoulders, and I froze, feeling the warmth of his hands wrapped around my shoulders. "You know how Dad could be. You should be careful around him and stay here before he starts thinking of you as a spy," he said while we both walked away. Noah's POV: When Mason and Charles walked away, the boredom in me returned, and I felt empty. No doubt, Mason is such a nice soul and knows how to bring out the best in people, and that kept me wondering how Charles met him. I'm sure Charles would have been harsh towards him countless times before they became this close. Somehow, I became jea

Charles POV"Good morning once again." I greeted them immediately after I entered the conference hall with Mason."Good morning boss"Without wasting much of our time, we all know the purpose of this meeting and I would like usto begin as time is not on our side," I replied to them while I gestured on Mason to brief them aboutour idea."We all heard about the partnership with Velaxo Investments so we need to try our best to gaintheir attention to our company for this reason we would like you to share your ideas too.“As my PA had said, our idea is to just tell them the benefits of investing in our companybut we need something else to grab their attention towards us.

One of the staff raised his hands while I motioned for him tocontinue."As we all know that our company is involved in the production of ladies’ accessories, I would li
