Charlotte woke up the next morning with a hazy vision and a confused mind. She had thought that if she got some sleep, she would be able to think clearly but she was wrong as she was still confused. Should she accept Sebastian's proposal or not? That was the question that was running through her mind. She would lose either way and it was now up to her to choose how she wanted to lose. She sat up and grabbed her phone. She checked the time and saw that she was already late for her shoot. 'Shit!' Charlotte cursed and jumped out of her bed. She had overslept. She grabbed her towel and quickly headed into the shower to have her bath. She had never overslept so why did she today and on the day of such an important event. "Sebastian Gerano," her mind unconsciously answered. Great, she was going to be late all because of Sebastian and his stupid proposal. There was no way she would accept his proposal now. That man was trouble! ****Sebastian checked the car's mirror for the umpteenth
Charlotte parked her car opposite the tall building. On the opposite side of the road, she could clearly see the Gerano corporation standing high and tall. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. She was about to take a very big step in her life and it made her really nervous. She had decided to accept Sebastian's offer. She had to do it for her family and for herself. She would lose too much if she rejected the marriage. She and Sebastian would get married after which they would go their separate ways for a year. She took another deep breath and stepped outside her car. She entered the building and as usual, she was greeted with stares from the people who were present as she walked in. Normally, Charlotte didn't mind the stares as it was part of her life but it was really irritating to her right now. Would it kill them to stop staring at her? She was already uncomfortable as it was. Their stares were just adding to her discomfort. She didn't know where Sebastian's o
"I accept your proposal Mr Gerano," Charlotte said and waited to see Sebastian's reaction. However, Sebastian didn't show any expression on his face. He neither looked happy nor sad at the news of her accepting to marry him and this made it difficult for her to guess what was running through his mind."Let's sit and talk, Miss Brooks," Sebastian merely said after a moment of silence, in a flat tone.Charlotte nodded and walked over to Sebastian's desk but she was stopped by Sebastian before she could sit down. "Why are you going over there?" Sebastian asked. "You said we should sit and talk. I'm going over to sit," Charlotte answered. "I wasn't referring to that seat," Sebastian said. "Then which seat were you referring to?" Charlotte asked, confused. Sebastian rolled his eyes at Charlotte's question. She belonged to such a rich family and yet she didn't know his office had a private room. "Haven't you ever been to your brother's office?" He asked. "Yes I have but what does hav
Charlotte's eyes widened in shock as she read through the document. How did Sebastian come up with such a term? And did he really think that she would agree to it?"It says here that after we get married, I will live in your house and we will sleep in the same bedroom?" Charlotte asked."What do you think people will say if you live at your house after our marriage?" Sebastian asked.Charlotte rolled her eyes. He was talking to her as if she was a five year old. "I understand that part Sebastian, I'm not dumb. Of course, I'm going to stay in your house after we get married... ""That's good to hear," Sebastian retorted.Charlotte hissed sharply but she did not reply to Sebastian's sarcastic statement as that would just make her mad and she did not have the strength to get mad."Why do we have to sleep in the same room? We are not going to be a real couple so there is no need to sleep in the same room.""You rea
Kiss me," Sebastian whispered seductively into Charlotte's ear. Her body instantly froze and a gasp escaped from her lips as she heard Sebastian's demand. He couldn't possibly be serious. Sebastian smiled as he saw Charlotte's flustered reaction to his demand. He really liked teasing her as he always found her reaction to his teasing funny and entertaining. His level of shamelessness whenever he was around Charlotte concerned him as it was unlike him to flirt with any lady not even Amy but it came natural to him whenever he was with her. He said things he had never said to her and he liked it. "K-kiss y-you," Charlotte repeated nervously. This man couldn't be serious. He had to be joking but Sebastian Gerano never joked. At least that was what she heard from people about him. So, that meant he was being serious! He really wanted her to kiss him. Shit! What had she gotten herself into? She wouldn't have asked Sebastian about them kissing if she knew this was what it would land
"Brother, are you okay?" Diego asked in shock. He wasn't sure that the person sitting in front of him was his brother. The cold Sebastian he knew would never say such words so easily. Something terrible must have happened to Sebastian and that was why he was behaving this way. "Where are you here?! Sebastian asked coldly, ignoring Diego's question. "I came here to invite my sister in law to lunch but I didn't see her in your office and that's why I came into your private room." Diego explained and averted his eyes as his heart couldn't bear to see another moment of Sebastian and Charlotte getting all lovey- dovey. "Hmmm," was Sebastian's reply. He loosened his grip on Charlotte. She quickly jumped out of Sebastian's laps. "You said you haven't had lunch. Come, let's go and have lunch," Sebastian said. "No!" Charlotte refused sharply. "I have a lot of things to do at the office," she lied. "What office?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows questioningly as his lips broke into a misc
"What took you guys so long?!" Charlotte asked irritably. She had been waiting outside Sebastian's office for over five minutes. "I'm sorry sister-in- law, Sebastian was the one who delayed us," Diego quickly said, shifting the blame onto his brother."What were you doing in there?" Charlotte asked suspiciously."He was checking the internet for what you like to eat sister in law," Diego revealed with a huge grin plastered across his lips , hoping that Charlotte would do something to Sebastian. His brother had been a tyrant for too long. He needed to be taught a lesson for all the terrible things he had done to him and Charlotte seemed to be the perfect person for the job as unlike everyone else, she wasn't afraid of Sebastian. She was the first woman he saw who had the guts to threaten his brother and what amused Diego was the fact that his brother got intimidated by her threat. Something that had never happened before. He liked Charlotte more than ever. Sebastian swore to k
"Why is there no one here?" Charlotte asked as she was shocked to see the restaurant empty. It was always crowded with hungry customers every time she came here. So where was everyone? "I booked the entire restaurant," Sebastian answered as he looked around the restaurant. However, Sebastian didn't think it was fit to be called a restaurant. His closet was bigger than this place. 'I wonder what she sees here,' Sebastian said to himself. Charlotte was the weirdest celebrity he had ever met. She didn't act like the rest of her kind. Even though he hated her, he had to admit that he liked that about her. She was a simple person. "What?!" Charlotte exclaimed in shock. She wasn't sure she heard right. Did Sebastian just say that he booked the entire restaurant for the three of them? "Why did you book the entire restaurant when it is only the three of us having lunch, " Charlotte asked in confusion. "I booked the restaurant so I could have some peace and quiet while I
