Abigail threw her plate onto the table where the two were sitting.The soup covered Charlotte and Mira.Mira stood up and exclaimed, "Arghhhh, what are you doing?!"Abigail hugged her chest with an angry look on her face, "What? You were allowed to vilify me behind my back, and I wasn't allowed to rebel? Do you think I'm so easy to bully?""Can you stop this nonsense?""I'm spouting nonsense? I could hear it clearly from both ears."The voice from her side quickly attracted the gazes of the passersby.Mira looked around worriedly and said, "Just now, Charlotte was angry because you gave so much work to her. That's why she said a few bad things about you, but she didn't have any bad intentions.”Charlotte raised her eyes and looked at Mira in disbelief."Charlotte, what kind of person are you? You still have to lie about me right in front of me?"Charlotte stood up and looked at Abigail with her arms crossed. "I wonder how a brainless person like you got into this company.”"What did y
What happened?” Derek asked over the phone.“Abigail, right here, is bullying me!”In the middle of a meeting, Derek felt his blood boiling. “Alright! I'm on my way,” he said as he stood up and walked out of the meeting.In less than a minute, Derek was at the door of the department. The moment he walked in, it felt like the air stopped for a minute. He had this majestic aura that spelled out authority like that of a medieval king. Everywhere went so silent that you could hear a pin drop.The sight of him made Abigail tremble, lose balance, and fall, while the others just froze.Charlotte, for the very first time, felt proud. A perfect tycoon like him answered her in less than a minute and is always there for her. This thought made her face flush.“President!” Abigail said.Derek looked at her coldly and then turned to Charlotte, “what happened?” His deep, husky, seductive voice echoed in the room.“She tried to get me fired using Mr. Smith to get me fired,” Charlotte narrated.At thi
Pang! He felt his car hit someone. Startled, he emerged from the car to find Charlotte, who had been hit by his car.“Charlotte! Charlotte!” he exclaimed as he ran over to her, shaking.“Ethan!” Charlotte weakly replied, covered in her own blood.“Charlotte, you'll be okay, I promise to do everything to…” Before Ethan could finish, he was shoved aside by Derek. “Get out, you bastard,” Derek commanded, looking at Charlotte, who was barely conscious. “Charlotte, don’t worry! Everything will be fine!” Derek reassured her.“I don’t want to die!” Charlotte repeated tearfully before passing out.He gently carried her to his car, but as he was about to leave, Ethan stopped him and asked, “Where are you taking her?”Derek looked at him coldly and replied, “What do you care? When I’m done with Charlotte, I promise to tear you limb from limb!” He entered his car and ordered, “Hurry to the company’s hospital!”In a few minutes, they arrived at the company’s hospital. Upon seeing Derek carry a bl
Charlotte knew that Derek was always dominating, but somehow he was sweet this time around. He would wake Charlotte up with breakfast in bed. She wasn’t allowed to do anything except lie on the balcony and read some books while basking in the sun.If she wanted to go out, she had to be carried downstairs by Derek.He had been doing this for the past six days since Charlotte got discharged, claiming she hadn’t fully recovered. Charlotte got angry and bored at the same time but could not vent it out because she knew he was just taking care of her.At times, anytime Charlotte tries to complain, Derek doesn’t fail to plant his sweet tongue into her mouth, making Charlotte unable to resist. This man,had too much control over his desires.Vincent came to join Charlotte on the balcony. While she was listening to the breeze, he was eating pop corn He said to her, "Sister, are you okay?”Charlotte looked at him and smiled, “I’m fine.”“Aren’t you bored?” He proceeded.“Oh! Yes, Vincent, I am so
Charlotte looked worried; what was going on? “Why?” he asked over the phone.“All right, I will be there right away!” he declared, abruptly standing up as if preparing to leave.At this point, Charlotte was worried; what could be happening? What is going on?He ended his call.“Derek, what is going on?” Charlotte asked, her voice almost a whisper.“It’s Rebecca. She has found something about the birth of Ethan.”At this point, Charlotte’s heart was beating so fast Derek should be able to hear it. The truth is finally out. Who could it be that her mum had an affair with before she met James Lockwood? Is he still alive? Did he abandon her? How then did they separate? What is going on? so many questions running through her head, “Ethan? What is it?” she asked, her eyes filled with worry.“I don’t know anything right now, Charlotte, but I need to meet her at the neareast restaurant. She says it’s urgent,” Derek replied, almost impatiently.“Let me go with you,” her eyes almost pleading as
"Father!" Rebecca murmured.Charlotte frowned upon seeing James and Ethan as she held the files."Rebecca! When did you come back?" James roared in disbeliefRebecca chuckled, rolling her eyes as she folded her arms across her breast, "Like you care."Derek held Charlotte’s hand and squeezed it lightly to calm her down, reminding her that he was always there for her.James only looked at Charlotte and didn’t say a word. He then turned to Rebecca. "Rebecca, let’s go home.""Home?" Rebecca smirked. "My home is with the Millers now, and nowhere else.""Rebecca! What has he done to you?" He yelled at her furiously, hitting his crutches.Rebecca yelled back, her voice shaking. "You made me suffer, tortured me, and abandoned me when I needed you the most. You turned your back on me." Tears were already flowing from her. "How could you? I couldn’t change who I am, yet you took advantage of that vulnerability but the Millers saved me. How dare you think you can control me now? How dare you th
They all went home, and as Rebecca couldn’t stop crying, Derek ordered the maid to put sleeping pills in her water to drink. Charlotte, who couldn’t get her mind off things, went to the garden to water the flowers, something to at least keep her occupied. However, Derek suddenly wrapped his arms around Charlotte and wouldn’t release her from his embrace. He grabbed her cheeks and pressed his lips against hers with violent passion.Charlotte enjoyed kissing Derek because he was always so caring towards her, plus he exuded a unique charm and aura.“Derek!” She exclaimed.“Give me a kiss, Charlotte,” he requested.“Is that really important right now?”“Your kiss is where I draw my energy from, and after today’s drama, I am so exhausted.”Charlotte turned around and threw away the watering can. Atop the beautiful balcony blooming with roses, she wrapped her arms around Derek tightly as she returned his passionate kiss, allowing her tongue to become intertwined with his. Derek pressed her
Charlotte watched Alex as he drove away, feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment at his behavior. He seemed incredibly ridiculous and pathetic. Starting the car, she headed home, eager to see Derek.Passing by a store, she decided to pick up something sweet for Derek, wanting to show him her appreciation and express how much she loved him.Upon arriving home, she inquired about Derek's whereabouts from the maids. They informed her that he was in Rebecca’s room, who had just woken up.Hurrying to Rebecca’s room, she found the door partially open and entered without knocking.“Rebecca,” she said softly as she entered the room.Rebecca was seated upright on the bed, a tray of food placed in front of her on a stool. Derek stood by the window, engrossed in a phone call. He seemed unaware of Charlotte's presence. Rebecca appeared a bit pale as Charlotte approached her. “Charlotte?” she called out.Sitting beside her, Charlotte took her hands in hers. “How are you feeling?” she asked
