"What the hell are you doing?" Charlotte asked silently, shock evident on her face. She didn't expect that Sebastian would suddenly grab her by her waist; thus, she was not prepared for it. "I'm claiming what's mine," he answered in a hoarse voice; one that made Charlotte's heart begin to beat fast.She could feel the blush creeping to her cheeks. How was Sebastian able to say such things without feeling embarrassed? The same part of herself reminded her that she wasn't supposed to show that she was affected by Sebastian's words. Clearing her throat, she said, "I'm not an object that you claim, Sebastian.""I never said you were," Sebastian retorted. He then bent and gave Charlotte a kiss on her cheek. Charlotte was unable to stop herself from turning red. She knew without a doubt that she was as red as a tomato. What was wrong with Sebastian? Why was he acting so strange?"S-sebastian?" She called in confusion as she looked into his eyes trying to figure out what was running throug
"I declined their offer," Charlotte revealed."What? Why?" Sebastian asked, not bothering to hide the fact that he was shocked in his tone."I didn't feel like working with the company anymore," Charlotte said casually.****Five minutes earlier in the conference room."Let's start the meeting," Dexter said as he took his seat. "We are here to talk about the offer we made to both of you. We would like both of you to be the faces of our brand and it all comes down to you accepting our offer," one of Dexter's employees said."I have read the terms of your contract and I accept your offer," Amy said immediately."Welcome to the team Miss Williams, we are going to have a lot of fun working together," Dexter said with a mischievous smile on his face. He was already thinking of how to get Amy into his bed. If Charlotte also agreed, then he would also get her into his bed. The thought of having the top two models in his bed made him happy.Unknown to Dexter, Charlotte was studying every ge
"I told you Sebastian would look for you," Victoria said after he had left. She had been waiting to have this conversation with Charlotte ever since this morning.Charlotte had a feeling that Victoria had called her to talk about her promise but she didn't want to believe it. She didn't know what to say and so, she kept mute, waiting for Victoria to say something else.Victoria checked her time and saw that it wouldn't be long until Sebastian discovered that she was lying about Diego being in a meeting with the stakeholders. She needed to say what she wanted to and fast"When he came from the office, he was tired as hell but he didn't care about that. He didn't rest until he found you and if that isn't enough proof that Sebastian is developing feelings for you, I don't know what is. I really hope you'll give your relationship a chance and fight for it."Charlotte didn't have the chance to reply as the door flung wide open and Sebastian came in. He looked mad for some reason."You lied
Charlotte woke up to the sound of someone banging her door and yelling her name. She had planned to ignore the person at first but she couldn't as the person didn't give up. She groaned in frustration as she had no choice but to get out of bed and answer the person who was determined to get her out of bed. "It's so early in the morning, what do you want from me?!" Charlotte asked in anger as she opened the door. If only Charlotte had bothered to check who it was before she spoke…"It's no longer morning Charlotte, it's actually two in the afternoon," answered the calm voice of Victoria.Charlotte almost screamed in surprise and her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She no longer felt sleepy, what she felt now was fear. She had unknowingly snapped at Victoria thinking it was Sebastian who was banging on her door.Her heart fluttered as she thought of Sebastian. However, she quickly pushed him to the back of her mind as now was not the time nor the place to think of Sebastian. The
There was a knock on the door just as Charlotte's beauty team was almost done getting her ready for the party."Come in Sebastian," Charlotte said as she knew that he was the one who was knocking.The door opened and just like Charlotte had predicted, Sebastian walked in. He was already dressed for the party. Of course, he was a man after all. It had taken him only ten minutes to get ready while she wasn't done even after two hours. Victoria had ordered her team to give her a full makeover. She had a manicure and pedicure done before she started doing her makeup and that took a lot of time."I'll be done in ten minutes," Charlotte quickly said before Sebastian could say anything."You said that twenty minutes ago, what the hell is taking you so long?" Sebastian complained.'You're a guy and so you wouldn't understand. I'll be done in ten minutes. The sooner you stop disturbing me, the sooner I finish getting ready," Charlotte retorted. Sebastian sighed in resignation and walked out
“I won’t spare them if they cross their limits this time,” Sebastian said as he made his way over to where Charlotte was. “You vile woman, do you really think Sebastian really loves you?” the elderly woman spat in disgust while the rest of the women sneered in disgust. “I’m convinced he loves me,” Charlotte replied. The elderly woman scoffed at her response. “Sebastian is not capable of loving anyone. He only does things which will benefit him and this alliance is one of them. He is only marrying you because of your family background and nothing else.” “You’re right mom,” another woman whom Charlotte assumed to be the daughter of the elderly woman spoke. “I’m sure brother Sebastian just wants to take over her family company so he’ll be the most powerful person in the country. I bet you that he’ll leave you as soon as he gets what he wants.” “Say that again Malinda,” came the cold familiar voice Charlotte had been waiting for ever since she met these women. The women's faces sudd
Yes ma'am, she was poisoned. This is a police case ma'am, someone tried to kill her," the doctor clarified.This news came as a shock to everyone who was there as they couldn't understand how someone was able to poison Charlotte despite the tight security at the party."Sir, we should inform the police," the doctor suggested. He would have done so without seeking the permission of Sebastian but he decided against it as he wanted to know his opinion so as not to offend him. "There's no need for that, I'll handle it myself," Sebastian said coldly. Everyone, including the doctor, understood what he meant by that. The doctor gulped in fear as he imagined what would become of the person who was behind poisoning Charlotte."Can we see her doctor," Martha asked."Not yet ma'am, she has been moved to the intensive care unit so she can be observed. Once we are convinced she is out of danger, we move her to the VIP room where you'll be able to see her," the doctor replied.A nurse came runnin
The door to Charlotte's VIP room opened and she saw Sebastian walk in. It was a surprise to see that he was still in the hospital."Why didn't you go to the office?" Charlotte finally asked the question that had been bugging her for hours.Her mother spent hours with her in the hospital cheering her up, so did Victoria. Even though they didn't say it, Charlotte could see that they were worried for her. The wedding was in less than forty eight hours and it would be a big problem if she didn't recover before then. After spending more than eight hours with her, Charlotte managed to force them to go home as they both needed to rest. Victoria and her mother spending time with her was expected but not Sebastian. He had spent the entire day with her, leaving Diego to handle the company. This made Charlotte happy as he put her first but then a part of her didn't want to believe that Sebastian cared for her thus, the question."I wanted to stay with you," Sebastian answered. "Why?"
