LOGINCharlotte devoted six years to being the perfect wife and the efficient secretary—loyal, and the quiet force behind Drake Watson’s corporate empire. She sacrificed her career, her dreams, and even her dignity. But when betrayal shattered her world, she lost everything, including the child she never got to hold, the moment her husband’s mistress, Mia, returned from Paris. After a devastating loss, Charlotte finally resigns, files for divorce, and walks away from Drake. Drake believed losing her was just an inconvenience until she returned, not as his wife, but as his worst nightmare. Now a powerful CEO in her own right, she’s no longer the obedient secretary who lived in his shadow. She’s his rival, and the one woman he can’t afford to underestimate. But what happens when the woman he cast aside becomes the storm that could bring him down, not just in business, but in the one place that will hurt him the most… his heart. Drake isn’t the man she thought he was. As she rises in the corporate world, he fights to pull her back into his arms. But can she trust the man who once shattered her? And will revenge be enough… when love still burns between them?
View MoreDrake's POV I didn't shift my gaze from the woman the police officers dragged to where Charlotte and I were. I knew who she was and I wanted to see the look on her face when she set her eyes on me.The officers came to a halt, inches away from where I stood but close enough to see her and hold a conversation.The officers still stood by her side, their hands interlinked with hers and I walked closer to her and leaned in so she could hear my whisper.“So you were in on it after all.” I said, with so much spite.She had denied it when I called her out the other day but now she had been caught red handed. Sawyer had said her name and they went to get her.She lifted her head slowly, her hair was disheveled and her mascara stained the areas around her eyes. She smiled at me, more like smirked at me but it quickly morphed into a deep frown that showed just how much she detested me.“You caused all this Drake. You caused all of this but I will forgive you if you agree not to be with her.”
Charlotte's POV "They are taking him for questioning at the station. They want to make sure to get everyone that was involved in the kidnap." Drake explained when he saw that I was looking back.I nodded absent mindedly."Charlotte, " Drake called. "Don't pay attention to anything Sawyer said to you." He said and I nodded with certainty."He's trying to gaslight you into thinking you ruined his life." Drake continued and I placed my hand on his, making him to stop talking abruptly."I know that Drake, thank you for taking me out of there." I replied with gratitude all over my face.He took in a deep sigh and nodded his head. "Okay then, let us go to see Sabrina."He pushed my chair in the direction of her room and when we got there, we saw Jason sitting directly opposite her bed with her hand in his. His gaze was pinned on the woman before him and nothing else.I cleared my throat, announcing our arrival and that was when he raised his head."Hello Charlotte, are you better now?" He
Charlotte's POV He was awake and he was looking at me. It felt like a dream.Everything stopped, even time. As I took in his features one more time. I had been scared to death that I wouldn't see his face again.When he was shot, it was as though a big part of me had been rendered useless.The nurse didn't push me in, she just stood behind me. I was grateful she could read the room. After what seemed like an eternity of staring at each other, Drake smiled warmly at me.His smile seeped through me and broke every single wall I had ever raised against him.It also broke me down into a pathetic sob.Those tears formed again and dripped down my cheeks. But I smiled back. I wasn't crying because I was sad but because I had almost lost Drake and in that process, almost lost a huge part of me.The nurse pushed me further into the room and then left.“I’ll be a ring away whenever you need me.” She gestured to the telephone by the table before leaving. And honestly, I only heard “if you need
Charlotte's POV My breath seized as the sound of the gunshots echoed in my mind. It felt like it was replying in my mind. Other gun shots rang out in the room where the police men were fighting with Sawyer's thugs but they didn't shake me like the one that rang out a few minutes ago.My legs were weak and I held on to the wall for support, to hold myself up.The policemen ran into the room to check things out and from their numbers, I noticed that they had multiplied. More police officers were there and they were fully armed with their rifles.I pushed myself up with all the strength I could muster. And walked to the entrance of the room I had just walked out from a couple of minutes ago. But I could barely see a thing.The police officers had their backs to me as they tried to carry the men involved in the fight out of the room.My heart beat grew shallow and I could hear it beat in my ears, it was so heavy like my heart was clenched and still forced to beat.My eyes got blurry from
