Charlotte's pov Tyler can't be serious about what he just told me on the phone. No, no. Then I walked and looked at the unique wine bar in the sitting area of Tyler's new house, and it felt like I should have a glass of wine every morning. The bar was so attractive, it temporarily distracted me from what Tyler had said. I closed my eyes, trying not to dwell on his suggestion. To keep my mind off it, I decided to take a walk around the new house again. This was a dream house, the kind of house I would love my partner to own and where we could raise our kids. I had always planned to have two children, a boy and a girl, and we could have fun together. As I moved from one room to another, the quality of the furniture and the lighting reflected Tyler's wealth. It's crazy because I was the first person, after Tyler, to move my things into the new house. While admiring the rooms and the interior decorations, I came across a room next to Tyler's room that only had a connection from his
Author's pov This was the first time Tyler's heart raced and he felt the same fear that Charlotte had experienced whenever she thought of Ava finding out about their relationship. Sweat immediately formed on Tyler's palms and his face as he saw Ava opening the door to his room, where Charlotte, whom they were looking for, lay naked in his bed. "How will Ava feel? What will she think of Charlotte?" were the first thoughts that crossed Tyler's mind, and in a split second, he shouted, "I'm changing my clothes... I'm naked!" He raised his voice and rushed to the door. "Oh, sorry, I thought you said you wanted to keep your suitcase," Ava replied, and her voice showed her sincerity. "No, give me a few minutes." He locked the door behind him and hurried back to Charlotte. He quickly carried her on his shoulder and took her to a room that had no external entrance, only connected to his room. In this room, there was a bed, a shelf, a table and a fridge stocked with cookies and drink
Charlotte's pov I woke up in a strange place, and my first thought was that I had been kidnapped. Where am I? I looked around, but nothing seemed familiar. I knew all the rooms in Tyler's new house, but the way this room was set up made me think of a kidnapper's hideout. The information Tyler had given me was no longer in my hands. It must have slipped away before I woke up. The first thing I tried was to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, I decided to hit it, not paying attention to my surroundings. Then, I turned my head and saw the notes on the bed I had gotten up from. I rushed to pick it up, and the words on it brought me comfort. I knew I had to message Tyler quickly to find out where I was before figuring out my next steps. I sent a message to Tyler and sat on the bed, waiting for his reply. "You are in my house. Please, don't knock on the door again. Ava is here with me, and that knocking will get both of us into trouble." After reading this message, I l
Charlotte's pov My drunkenness and nakedness has made me sleep in a strange bed, in a strange room, and wake up in the middle of the night with troubled thoughts about my dear friend, Ava. Why did Tyler hide such an important truth from Ava? In my mind, I couldn't refer to her as his daughter anymore. Before I went to sleep, I wrestled with a big decision. I contemplated whether I should tell Ava the truth about her life or not. Was she possibly adopted? If that were the case, there would be no need for a DNA test. The weight of this truth felt like a heavy burden on my shoulders, constantly pulling me down. Ava is my best friend, and if I can truly call her that, then I should stand up for her and do what's best for her. If Ava were in my position, I believe she wouldn't hide such a significant aspect of my life if this kind of thing happened to me. I thought I had woken up at the usual morning time, but little did I know that my troubling thoughts had actually awakened me in the
Author's pov At the hearing of those words that Tyler brought a lady and had sex with her, Charlotte immediately took an excuse to look for a place to take a deep breath and get herself back. “Please, can I use the restroom? I'm having a running stomach. I will get back to you very soon.” Charlotte stood up and left her chair to use the restroom. “Okay, please go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for you. We have the whole day to ourselves,” Ava replied. Ava's eyes were still Charlotte as she was walking away, and then Ava's phone started ringing. “Hello Mum,” and as she waited to continue, Blenda interrupted. “Please repeat what you said to me some hours ago. I was still feeling sleepy when you called.” “I said, my dad slept with a lady last night.” “Hmm…do you see the lady?” Blenda asked. “That was the most annoying part. I'm still angry at myself. I wouldn't say I lost concentration. I was so careful to see when the lady left, but it seemed that all my efforts w
Author's pov “Luke, what you are asking for is too big for me. Examine the whole thing yourself and check if it is reasonable in anyone's ear. You can't date two friends and never expect this to happen.…” She paused and looked at Luke who was standing and after sometime, he started moving around the sitting room of his mom. “Luke, what you did is bad and I will never be part of it. The best thing to do is to let go of the two ladies.” “Mum,” he stopped in the middle of the sitting room and faced his mom. “I didn't come here for you to condemn me. If Blenda is not important to me, I would have left her considering what she did to me when I went to her house. She slammed the door at me and called me so many kinds of names that no woman has said to me. If I don't love her, I wouldn't come this far begging you to go and meet her on my behalf.” “But what you are asking for is unrealistic. First, you have destroyed the friendship of those two ladies.” “Mum, hear me out. You haven'
Charlotte's pov I couldn't move around properly in Tyler's new house as Ava had fully moved her things to her father's house. It has been three days of her presence, three days without intimacy and three days of proper distancing and whenever Tyler wasn't around, all Ava and I always discussed was her dad's mysterious lady that she wants to know. Tyler in the order hand was trying all means to have some private time with me. When Tyler noticed that Ava was in the room taking her bath, he quickly came to my room. And since Ava had been finding a way to know the woman her dad brought home that day, whenever Tyler came close to me, my heart raced. “What are you doing here? Ava is around. I have told you, you shouldn't come close to me whenever she is around,” I said with a low voice despite Ava's room being a bit far away. “When will that be? How long will you keep me waiting? Ava has always been with you.” He asked. “She is monitoring you. How many times will I tell you?”
Charlotte's pov “What the hell is going on here?” That was my first exclamation. I was dumbedfolded for the following seconds that followed. I saw a stranger taking off Tyler's clothes and he was just lying down with his back facing the ceiling. I couldn't take my right hand from the doorpost and my feet were glued to the floor. Am I dreaming or what? This must be a nightmare. I was still trying to console myself when the strange lady said authoritatively. “Who are you?” “I should be the one asking you, who are you?” I took a step forward, although, relatively far from them. The lady took her hands from Tyler's belt and stood up and said, “My name is Sonia and this is my boyfriend. Who are you? I have never seen you before and Ava is my boyfriend's only daughter. When she said Tyler was her boyfriend, I couldn't say a word or challenge her. My relationship with Tyler was a hidden one and because we were hiding it, I couldn't challenge her. Wait a minute! Why will I even
