Charles was not surprised by the urgent meeting that Elizabeth had requested. He just shook his head when he heard that she instructed everyone in the conference room. He already had an idea of what it was all about but the woman didn't know that he already knew that she was going to do this. He couldn't imagine how he was able to keep himself cool after what the woman had done. The two shareholders were loyal to him. They were one of the first shareholders so they informed him about Elizabeth's plan. He couldn't help but wonder what the woman was up to. It seemed that she had talked to the wrong person and he was given a heads up that she was about to do something in the company. He was thankful to those two because of their loyalty but something came inside his mind. He spoke to them about the negotiation that Elizabeth was doing with them. And, he couldn't understand that instead of getting furious, he wanted to go by her flow and he didn't want to oppose her plans. He
Elizabeth gradually opened her eyes but before she could roam her gaze around as she felt that she was in an unfamiliar room, she already heard Charles' voice. She felt a bit weak. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything that hurts?" His voice filled with concern based on his tone. She looked at Charles and then he stood next to her bed. "What happened?" She asked as she held her forehead. She was feeling a bit dizzy. She could see her surroundings turning around. She couldn't understand what kind of feeling she had at the moment. So she decided to closed her eyes again. "You lost consciousness, that's why we brought you here in the hospital. You looked pale and you were in pain," Charles said full of worry and concern in his voice. "Also, you have to take care of yourself and our baby," Charles added which made the heart skip a beat. She didn't know what exactly she should say as she opened her eyes again. There were a lot of
Elizabeth was discharged the same day that she was brought in the hospital since she passed out because she was pregnant and nothing else. But instead of going back to the office, Charles drove her back to her house. She was just quiet while they were on their way because there were a lot of things that were running inside her head. There were some changes in her plans but she was hoping that soon she would be having the victory in her hands. "Thank you," she said when the car stopped in front of her grandmother's house. She immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and got off at Charles' car. "Let me get you inside of the house," Charles suggested, which she didn't refuse. She couldn't figure out what was running inside the man's head. Since he found out that she was pregnant with their child, he seemed to be so gentle to her and all he wanted to do was look after her. He had changed but like what she had thought earlier. It was so late for him to do everythi
Charles didn't know what to say. He was speechless because of what Daniel reported to him. He remembered his mother's reaction earlier after she learned that Elizabeth was taking over the company and at the same time the words of Elizabeth before he left her flashed in his mind. Thieves inside the company. He was starting to have a clue what was going on inside the company as he tried to connect the dots. The two important women in his life seemed to be up to something that he didn't know. After he got all the information he needed from his assistant and all the meetings he needed to attend and also the documents that he needed to sign, he dismissed him. He wanted some time alone. He wanted to think about all the things that were happening around him. But Daniel was about to open the door when he spoke. The man was stopped from what he was about to do. "Ahm, Daniel," he said, sounding hesitant. His assistant's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, sir?" He as
Elizabeth was startled when she heard Charles' voice. What was he doing here? That's the question that was inside her mind She didn't expect that he was here and he even had the courage to ask if he could join them for dinner. But before she could even respond to him, Arnold already did. "Yes, please come join us," Arnold said and then he stood up to get a plate and cutlery for Charles who was already sitting next to her. If she would be asked, she didn't want to eat with the man but Arnold was just kind. She couldn't believe that Arnold could still let the man in after what they had found out. It was as if nothing actually happened for Arnold or she could just be mistaken? "How are you feeling now?" Charles asked which brought her back to her senses. "Better," she replied blandly at him and then she put food in her mouth. She was worried that Charles might have heard what she and Arnold were talking about earlier before his voice echoed
Charles decided to leave Elizabeth exactly after they had their tea. He couldn't help but feel bothered by her words. He couldn't believe that those words would come out from her mouth. How could she even say that Carlos was not his son? What on earth was on her mind to say that thing towards his innocent child? Elizabeth had changed a lot and he never heard her before having these kinds of thoughts before. Though Charles found himself thinking about that. He knew that he was too drunk that night and as far as he was concerned Elaine's presence couldn't make him feel aroused which he couldn't understand. He tried it a lot of times but nothing really happened to them since the day that they started to live together. Elizabeth's words made his mind in turmoil. There's one thing that kept on running through his head and he knew that he wouldn't be at peace if he wouldn't get confirmation about the doubt he felt after he heard what Elizabeth said. He couldn't help but feel someth
Elizabeth lifted her head and she saw how serious Charles was. She could see the concern and worry in his eyes. She felt like she was going to explode because of what just happened and even if she didn't want to cry, she was unable to fight back the tears that started to come out from her eyes. Suddenly, she felt so vulnerable. She thought she had been strong for the past couple of years because of everything that she had gone through but here she was again, crying and trembling. She felt like she was the old Elizabeth who would cry in the corner as she saw those sapphire blue eyes of her ex-husband. Those were one of the reasons why she fell deeply in love with him. She could still recall how her heart pounded so fast the first time she laid her eyes on him and how she wished she just looked away that time, so probably, she wouldn't experience all the pain that she had. She didn't have to go through all the sufferings she had to endure because of her love for him. Elizabeth
Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed when he saw Elizabeth earlier in her office. The woman had never been like that since she came back. But earlier, she was vulnerable. His ex-wife was unable to hold her tears and she burst out. She cried so hard. She cried so loud in his chest. Every time he heard her sobs, he felt like his heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife. He couldn't help but feel anger towards his mother because of how she acted but it was not a good time for him to confront her. He knew that wouldn't do any good, especially to Elizabeth. He might just add fire to the burnt. He felt bad and mad at himself because he couldn't do anything aside from hugging her to console her. He didn't know what else to do just to comfort her. Even in his presence, he was not sure if it was even necessary because the pain that the woman was feeling was because of his mother. He couldn't understand why his mom looked so angry at the CCTV footage. All he knew was the wo
