All I have to do is wait for him to come around. I pulled off my shoes and dropped my bag on the couch, trying to breathe normally.

“Don’t overthink, Charlotte.” I reminded myself.

I headed into the kitchen, tied an apron around my waist, and pulled on a hair bonnet.

The kitchen felt too quiet.

I turned on the stove.

Staring at the flame as another tear dropped down my cheek.

Even if he was cheating… who am I to complain?

He has been the kindest person I know.

Yeah, I am pathetic.

It took me a few minutes to snap out of my absent-mindedness and proceed to the next thing.

My hands moved on autopilot, washing vegetables, reaching for spices, but my mind was still far away.

The knife slipped slightly, almost cutting into my skin as I chopped onions.

Focus.

Soon, the sting reached my eyes, but this time I welcomed it. If tears fell, I could blame the onions.

I wiped my face quickly and kept working.

    Angel ran into his arms, like a giggling bundle of joy.My eyes softened; seeing her like that was the only thing keeping me strong in this hell of a marriage."Daddy! You're home!""I am, my little star," he cooed, his voice transforming into a sweet one as he lifted her. The one he used to manipulate me years ago into thinking he was a different man."How was school today?""I scored a hundred in maths"."Well, not surprised.Your daddy is that smart too".Marcus said smiling at her."Mommy fell and hurt her eye"."Did she? She looks alright to me".He looked at me over her shoulder, his eyes hardening into a silent command.‘Fix your face. Now!’He didn't have to say it out audibly before I understood; it's something he does every time. But I am kind of grateful; he is a good father to Angel. At least I don't have to worry about her. I can live with the pain alone.I smoothed my expression and walked over to them, joining the performance."Did you have a nice bath, sweetheart?" I

    "Be quick," I whispered nervously. She shoved the last of her instruments into her bag with trembling hands, followed by her prescription notepad while the bottle of pills for my bruise was left on the side table. “The vitamins,” I whispered. “Leave the vitamins.” She fumbled, placing a different, unlabeled bottle next to the first. Finally, she was done. She grabbed her bag while I quickly swept the bottles into the drawer of the bedside table. And just then the door handle was pulled. Rachael pasted on a professional smile, while I arranged my own face, faking a smile. Marcus stood at the doorway. His gaze swept the room, lingering on the doctor, then settling on me. “What do we have here? A doctor's visit?" he said with a smile as he approached us. His chilling blue eyes held a question that demanded an answer. I noticed Rachael's spine stiffen at his gaze. "Just a follow-up," I said, my voice deliberately light, though it threatened to crack. "Although I had a minor h

    "Don't say that... he never hit me... I fell... that's what happened." Angel made a sad face. "Is it painful, mommy?" "Not at all, I am an adult. Now go to your room. Your personal aide, Christy, is already there. You should have a nice bath and a relaxing hair massage." She pouted. "Go on, baby." As soon as she left the room, I sighed heavily then touched the side of my eye. The pain stings sharply. "Leo... how could you have done that to yourself." Tears clouded my eyes and I let them flow. A knock, then the maid came in. "Ma'am, the doctor is here." "Please let her in." Doctor Rachael, my private doctor, walked in. "Oh my goodness, not again." I forced a smile. "Welcome. I told you I would see you sooner." She had a lot to say but chose quietness. She started attending to me. "You should be comfortable with me, you know. Marcus is a dangerous man, but you can trust me. I won't tell him anything." She swallowed. "I am worried about how much weig

    CHARLOTTE’S POV After Olive and I ended our friendship, I convinced myself Marcus and Olive had some kind of connection, so I avoided him for months—until the night of my debut movie premiere. That evening, congratulations flooded my phone. My brothers filled the group chat Musa had added me to the last time he visited. We had grown closer since then, and their love was overwhelming. I had just replied to their messages when the doorbell rang. Expecting Angela or Emma, I rushed to the door. It was Marcus. He stood there dressed for the evening, holding a bouquet of flowers. He said he understood why I had pulled away. Said he hadn’t pushed because of the date-night incident. Then he asked if he could take me to the premiere. I wanted to refuse, but I saw an opportunity to talk to him about Olive. Inside his car, I brought up Olive immediately. “Who is Olive?” he asked. I laughed in disbelief. “Don’t pretend. You know exactly who she is.” He didn’t. So I described

    LEO'S POVCharlotte let out a nervous laugh, then shook her head."None whatsoever. I’ve never met Mystic Voice. It's just a rumor."My lips twitched, and I bit down on my lower lip.I see… So I’m the one to complain? I had denied her too, on a live stream.The host jumped in."So how does it feel, Charlotte? The first movie you produced is already a certified smash."Charlotte turned. Her eyes swept over the screaming crowd, the historic theatre, the shimmering marquee with her name above the title. Her eyes grew glistening."It still feels like a dream. I didn't even dream this big, and I am so grateful. But this isn’t just my moment. It’s for every single person who invested in this film—our incredible director, the crew who worked twenty-hour days, the actors…"Then she paused and turned to Marcus."And… Prince Marcus. My lovely husband. You have been my anchor through every storm. My most supportive partner. I couldn’t have navigated any of this without you. You are a kind and ca
