Peter and Andrew were surprised to see her walking out of her mother's hospital room. She normally stayed with her mother for hour's, until it was late before she would go home "My mother chased me away" she shrugged nonchalantly when she saw the questions on their face They wanted to ask why but they thought otherwise and instead followed her out Charlotte dropped on the bed dead tired when she got home. It was still ealy and Dalton was yet to return so she had the room to herself She was tired and hungry and she also wanted to take a warm bath but she was too tired to get up from the bed. Within some minutes she was asleep still wearing her work clothes and with her legs hanging off the sides of the bed "Has my wife returned home?" That was the first question Dalton asked when he got home from work "Yes madam came in a few hours ago but she has not come out of the room since then" With a frown on his handsome face, Dalton turned his wrist to check his wa
Dalton said nothing so she left his study room and went in search of a stool. Luckily for her, she met Mrs Brittany who helped her to find one. The both of them bickered over who would carry the stool to the study and she won at them end His head was dipped low as he read through the files on his study desk when she entered. The stool was heavy but she managed to carry it to where she wanted She climbed on it as she reached out to pull the frame from off the wall. She gradually climbs down with the frame in her hand and walked to the chair opposite him She sat down and admired his frame. Everyone in America knew of his family and when she was still the young miss of the Enfield's family she has mingled with the rich and has seen him once when he attended an event that her father dragged her too She was just sixteen by then and all she wanted that night was to be home and reading the new novel that as just been released by her favorite author She never paid attention to
Charlotte got down from the Bentley and walked into the hospital with Andrew and Peter by her side. Her step's were light and bouncy. After she went downstairs to eat, she and Mrs Brittany had a big fight about who would reheat her food and just like their fight about the stool, she won. After reheating her food and eating, Mrs Brittany showed her the house It was way bigger than she thought but it was no surprise to her as she knew that rich folks tend to live in big houses. There was thirteen rooms in total and she wondered if his family do visit him and stay over because only their bedroom looked like it has been used, the rest looked empty even with the furniture inside. The maids and guards had their own quarter and only Mrs Brittany lived in the mansion with them There were two pools in total and a gym house. When Mrs Brittany showed her the gym house she felt tears prickle at the back of her eyes. Mrs Brittany told her that Dalton always hit the gym every morning
Charlotte sighed tiredly as she turned her hands to look at the watch on her wrist. It was getting late but she had to work overtime because she made a mistake on a document while typing. She had just submitted that last file and was planning on leaving "anything else Mr Walker?" Walker raised his head from the document he was flipping through and looked at her with piercing honey brown eyes "how is your mother?" She smiled, he was a good boss "She is fine sir, thank you." Walker frowned at her polite reply. No matter how he tries to make her feel comfortable enough around him it seems impossible. There was that line that she still couldn't cross even if he so much wanted to to "when will she be discharged?" Charlotte shuffled her feet. She was already tired from going up and down in high heels since morning. She felt like her legs was on fire "I don't know for now but the doctor says that she is healing fast so I presume she would leave the hospital soon" " That
Charlotte turned to Mrs Brittany "can you please leave for a while? I need to speak with them privately". Mrs Brittany did not want to leave " but Madam…". She knew that they must have done something provoking to make Mrs Brittany hesitant to leave her alone with them "I can handle them". Mrs Brittany stared at her for a while before relenting. She threw a dirty look in Amarie and Bethany's direction before walking out. Charlotte turn to them when she was sure that Mrs Brittany was out of eat shut "cut that bullshit about coming here to check up one me. What do you want?". " Why are you so uptight?' Bethany asked as she popped an olive in her mouth. "We just came to see how you are settling into your new life as a married woman" Amarie went back to sit down. Charlotte eyes them wearily "what do you want?". "Well, this house is so beautiful sister" Bethany stood up and walked round the dining table to stand in her front "I had one of the maids show me th
Mrs Brittany walked back inside the dining room and saw that Charlotte's hands were on the dining table and her head was bent, her hair shielding her face from view. She could almost feel the anger on Charlotte. She had heard everything that was spoken loud and clear. Charlotte was not Dalton's real fiance but that mannerless woman. Charlie was deceiving Dalton because her father and the other woman including her daughter who was Dalton's fiance forced her to marry him. Apparently the other woman, Bethany, dumped Dalton because she heard of his accident. She was not going to report it to Dalton because she already liked Charlotte and she knew that Dalton likes her too. If not why would he suddenly be returning back home early after they got married. She thought that after everything that has gone wrong in Dalton's life since his accident he at least deserves love and if Charlotte was going to show him that, fake or not she was not going to destroy it. Charlotte has not d
Hughes looked behind him when he heard the sounds of approaching footsteps to see Amarie coming down. "What have you been doing in the room that you have to keep the whole family waiting for you?" Amarie gave him a seductive smile, a smile that never fails to calm him down anytime he was mad at her. "Oh honey, I had to do a thing or two" she told him as she stepped behind his chair and placed both of her hands on his shoulders to give him a massage. Hughes was about to respond to her but Bethany spoke first. "Mom, Grandma is going to be eating with us today, you should have waited till another time to do that thing you were doing" Angelina Enfield smiled widely and she adjusted her glasses when she heard what her granddaughter just said. "You are too kind Bethany but it's okay. Now that your mother is here we can just start eating" " Alright Grandma '' Bethany nodded, her heart filled with joy at her grandmother's words. Hughes did not say anything anymore but gestur
Charlotte grabbed her aching head with her hands. She woke up sick this morning and even after taking drugs she still felt sick. All she wanted to do was go back home and curl up on the king size bed she shared with Dalton. She was startled and nearly went flying out of her office chair when her phone rang, the sound causing her already aching head to ache all the more. "Hello". She groaned into the phone. "You useless piece of shit, how dare you block my number? You think I won't be able to get to you after you block my number? What useless daughter blocks their father's number?" The one who sold his daughter out to a crippled man she has never met before in order to receive funds for his business. Charlotte bit her lips at the comeback that sprang to her mind as she moved the phone away from her ear that was buzzing from her father's scream. "Why did you chase your mother and sister away, you ungrateful thing? If not for your sister giving up her place for you to m
