Pamela's p.o.v"...with that, I present to you Markinson establishment's newest designs" Royal announced into the microphone and stepped aside as the people clapped.The hall fell silent and all eyes were glued to the white screen, awaiting the designs which were…terrible?What the heck were we looking at? That faded stiletto looks like it was made by some tired shoe maker from centuries ago.The entire hall was suddenly full of murmurs and angry faces. I was so lost, I looked at Charles and from this angle I could see his brows were creased and he looked confused as well.It didn't look like he did this…then how did…"Stop the slide show, right now!" Royal growled, enraged and the slide show stopped."I wouldn't wear that gown even if it was the last clothing on earth" Mia said and I leaned closer to her."I promise that those aren't Charles' designs" I whispered. The least I could do was defend him."Oh, I know," She said, staring straight at Royal who was talking to one of his men

Pamela's p.o.v"I'm not following," I said as I shook my head."Girl, do you remember the document you signed on your birthday?" She asked.Right. I did sign a document that evening."Yes," I said and she nodded."And you know how I helped your mom because she was drunk?" Mia asked. I did ask her to take care of my mom."Oh my god you got her to sign the documents and transferred ownership to her!" I whispered.I'd never been more grateful in my life. This meant that Royal couldn't have my company because I never gave it to him to begin with! My signature on his documents were useless."Yep" Mia said and I cupped her cheeks and stared into her eyes. Tears welled up in mine."I am literally forever indebted to you, girl. I owe you my life," I said."Woah, don't be so dramatic!" She smiled and I wrapped her in a tight hug."Too tight, I can't breathe" Mia choked and I let her go."Sorry" I apologised. "I don't think you realise that you saved an entire company's ass, you might as well

Charles' p.o.vI launched my designs the day after Royal's launch party like I always planned to do and that was all because of Pamela. I wouldn't say I owed her anything because she literally caused the fucking mess but I was grateful that she didn't give Royal my designs. I guessed she did care about me after all but that didn't mean that I had forgotten what she'd done.Neither Royal nor her were invited and I wanted it to be that way. It was aggravating enough that three of us were at his launch. Thinking of both of them together always made me lose my patience.All the plans I had for her birthday were cancelled and I promised myself I wouldn't call her at all. I needed time and space to sort out the thoughts in my head that were drawing me towards her.Reflecting on that night, I hadn't been more confused in my entire life. I thought that I'd be leaving the launch enraged and cursing Pamela but the opposite happened. I left calm and collected and all my thoughts revolved around h

Pamela's p.o.vThe door opened and Royal walked inside in a blue suit that looked good on him. I probably shouldn't care about how good he looked in a time like that. I watched him closely.Royal smiled as he put his hands in his pocket."You're up" Royal said and I scrunched my face."And you're insane," I snapped. He chuckled and bit his lip."Feisty" He said as he carried the rocking chair from the corner and placed it in front of me.Royal sat down and crossed his legs then smirked at me as he rocked back and forth."You're having a fucking good time aren't you?" I asked, nodding and smiling at him.I couldn't believe this was the guy that I was falling for. Charles would never do this to me."What the fuck is this, Royal? First you kidnap me then you cuff me to a fucking bed in a cabin in the middle of freaking nowhere!" I screamed as tears welled up in my eyes."This doesn't call for screaming, Pamela, you're only going to wear yourself out" He said calmly and I clenched my jaw.

Charles' p.o.vWe were led into the living room by one of the servants and waited a good ten minutes before Mario came out from wherever he was.On Mario's approval, Nate's team started searching the house while Nate and I talked to Mario."It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person" Mario smirked as he brought out his hand for a handshake and I only looked at it before I glared at him.He looked so much like Royal without that evil touch to him but I had learned the hard way that looks could be deceiving."I'm not here to shake hands boy, where is Royal?" I asked, taking a step towards him and Nate patted my back."How am I supposed to know my big bro's every move? Like he'd even tell me anything" "And why are you people searching our family house? I know we're not the best people but we haven't done anything that serious at least from all I know and Royal barely stays here" He said.He didn't know anything about his family if he could make such a statement."I'll handle this, Ch
