Noting that Anthony and Chris had a few grocery bags with them, Charmine had no choice but to go to the control room and pressed on two red buttons. The grids outside the main entrance were retracted. Anthony entered the villa holding Chris' hand with his free hand, and he placed the groceries on the table. Once she came down, Charmine saw her table filled with bags, including a few bags filled with pads. A grin made its way to her face unconsciously. “Why so many?”There were so many pads that it could last for a year.“I didn’t know which one you use, so I took one of every brand,” came Anthony’s blunt reply with a passive expression on his face.“...”“How much are these? I’ll pay you back.”“Mommy, they’re for you. Daddy bought them for you! But, if you insist, you can hug me and kiss me,” beamed Chris said as he walked in front of her and reached out with his adorable flabby hands.Charmine wanted to turn him down but once she saw that adorable face with a cute pout, she
“I only agreed to let Momo stay. I didn’t say you can,” Charmine reminded Anthony.With a dignified look on his face, Anthony walked toward her. “Apologies. Momo might have sudden convulsions anytime throughout the night, so he’ll need my help. It worries me to leave him alone here.”“Mommy, just let Daddy stay. He can cook, do laundry, and housekeeping. He can be handy!” Chris pleaded, his voice charmingly adorable and cute.Charmine frowned, though surprised still. “Your dad does laundry and housekeeping?”“Yes! You can ask him if you don’t believe me.” Chris blinked at Anthony.Anthony hesitated for a few seconds, and under Charmine’s questioning gaze, he nodded. “Yes, I do.”“Alright then, you’ll stay over and make us supper. Nothing too fancy. Just three dishes and one soup should be fine, as long as it's healthy,” Charmine ordered. Since no one was sending her supper tonight, having someone to make her food was not a bad idea.After all, he volunteered to stay. “...”Ch
As she raised his chin with her fair and elegant finger, she questioned, “Anthony, do I look like someone who’d sell their body to solve the problem?”Anthony frowned. What did she mean by ‘sell their body to solve the problem’? Marrying him was the ultimate dream of countless women. How was that selling her body? The finger on his chin was rather cold, though there was a faint and unique scent to it.His lips curled upward. “If Miss Jordan insists on ‘selling her body’ first, I wouldn’t mind.” His large palm grabbed onto her small and delicate hand. At that moment, they felt a strange electric sensation that ran through their shock-frozen bodies. Charmine was the first to snap out of the trance and pulled her hand away. “You wish! I’m afraid you can’t afford a body like mine!” She dusted her hand and left the dining table, her arrogant figure moved with an unrelenting spirit.Anthony frowned but did not press on the matter.She returned to Chris’ room; the boy would be sleeping
Amelia entered the room and carefully placed the food onto the table. Instead of leaving, however, she stripped off her staff uniform. Her alluring, seductive body was revealed, clad in a skimpy red tube dress.Prince Simon Gray frowned at her actions. “You’re not a waitress!”“Please don’t be alarmed, Prince Simon. I’m Charmine Jordan’s cousin, and I’m here to strike a deal with you.” Amelia stood in front of him and she got straight to the point. “I’m sure you’re aware of the rumors going on between you and Charmine which, I assume, is troubling you as well.” Amelia then continued, “Our family shares have dropped greatly due to these rumors, so I’ll be hosting a press conference tomorrow, and I’m hoping that Prince Simon could attend the conference. You could tell the press that Charmine had seduced you when you were drunk, and that she kept on using that to cling onto you.”“Why should I listen to you? Leave!” snapped Simon Gray, angered by her suggestion.Amelia merely looked
There Charmine was, still asleep on the bed in burgundy pajamas. Her skin was so fair and her facial features were utterly captivating; she was like a fairy in her deep sleep. Above all, some of her buttons popped open, and her elegant neck and inviting breasts were revealed.Anthony gulped in reflex and turned away to stop looking, but he accidentally stumbled against the door when he turned.Thump, thump!Eyes still closed, Charmine threw a shark pillow from the bed in his direction.“Shut up!”Tsk! Still bossy even as she was asleep. Nonetheless, her unwillingness to get out of bed made her seem more humane.Anthony could not stop his lips curling upward in adoration. “If you don’t wake up, I’ll come in.”Charmine did not hear him as she merely flipped to her side and continued sleeping. When she heard footsteps approaching her, however, she instantly opened her eyes and saw Anthony’s muscular figure standing by her bed. Worse still, he was looming over her! “What’re you tr
“Regarding Prince Simon Gray, I believe in you. Just say the word and I’ll marry you right away,” he spoke, voice powered with assurance and determination.Charmine felt her heart clenched as warmth began to spread across her chest.Believe in her?Everyone wanted her dead, but this pervert said he 'believed in her? The thought of their few-minutes-ago kiss resurfaced in her mind, and her heart thrummed against her chest.‘Useless heart, why are you beating so fast? He’s just attracted to your appearance and wants to get in your pants! Man up and don’t fall for this kind of irresponsible and wild guy!’ Charmine gave herself a pep-talk as she slapped her chest, right where her heart was nestled.Ding! Charmine’s phone lit up. Once she picked up the phone, she heard Eric’s voice as he spoke, “Due to the upcoming press conference Amelia is hosting, Chanel had given out the notice to postpone today’s shooting and is considering whether to terminate your contract or not, according to
Charmine had to stop as Amelia interjected her. “Did you forget to brush your teeth?” Charmine glared at her. “Why are your words so foul? Do you know that a good dog doesn’t block the way?”Dog? Did she call Amelia a dog?Amelia was seething in anger. “Charmine! You’re now only a homeless rat on the street with everyone criticizing you. What makes you think you can act all pompous? If I were you, I would've found myself a hole to drill into! And you’re out shopping? How can you be so shameless?”“Shameless?” Unfazed, Charmine lifted her chin slightly as her eye contact did not break. “What is shameless? Taking a photo with a cucumber in hand? Or is it trying to lock someone in their house but was forced to pay three hundred fifty thousand in return?”Charmine’s eyes drifted from Tiffany to Amelia as she spoke, and onlookers instantly changed the way they looked at both Amelia and Tiffany.Of course. Tiffany’s nude was revealed. On the other hand, Amelia locked Charmine inside h
“What are you still doing here? Leave now!”Joey Young glared at Charmine with hatred in her eyes. “Get lost! The Jordan family doesn’t have a shameless third-wheeling daughter like you!”However much they yelled, Charmine did not move an inch nor did her expression shifted. It was as though they were just a bunch of clowns.Once it registered with Amelia that Charmine was not budging, she turned to the sales manager and snapped, “What are you all standing here for? Ask this shameless b*tch to leave! If she’s here, we won’t buy anything from Ohly.”The store’s general manager, Madam Gail heard that they were purchasing the pigeon-blood ruby ring, and her eyes glimmered at the prospect. She then stepped forward before Charmine and scowled, “Madam, please leave now. Ohly is a prestigious shop, and not just everyone can come in.”“Madam Gail, according to the shop’s rules, no matter who the customer is, we have to be—”“Shut up! She’s just a third-wheeler that everyone hates. Why sh
