Tears clouded my eyes.

"Yes... I am."

A beat of silence. I turned and ran back into the house to get my stuff.

The instant I left the beach, I had my mind made up to leave the island.

Yes, I broke up with him.

Like Gwen had said, I am the older, I should know better.

With a shaky breath, I powered on my phone; the screen came to life. As if it had been waiting to be switched on, it began to vibrate and ring simultaneously.

ANGELA flashed on the screen.

I swiped to answer, bringing the device to my ear.

“Hello?”

“Finally!! Oh my goodness! Do you have any idea how many times I’ve called?" she joked.

A sob I’d been stifling broke free.

“Can you… can you call back?”

Then, Angela's tone shifted from excitement, morphing into concern.

“Charlotte? Are you crying? Don’t tell me you’re crying because of Leo. Please, girl, quit acting like that.”

“We… I broke up with him,” I managed, the words scraping my throat raw. The admission unleashed another wave. My legs gave way, and I slid down the si

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    I AM GONE

    He just… let me go like that. I laughed bitterly. I reached the top of the grand staircase and paused. I tried so hard to fight it but the dam broke. Tears, accompanied by ragged, ugly gasps, flowed like a fountain down my face. I covered my mouth to stifle the sound. I had expected a chase, a protest. Instead, he had given me his account number and even wished me well with another man. Can I ever love someone the way I loved him? Can I ever move on from him? At the main entrance door of the mansion, the security lock was on. Then the familiar voice came. "State your name, please." "Cha...Charlotte." Silence. My face was scanned, and the door opened with a click. Outside, I saw Lois, Leo's personal assistant, standing by the car. I wiped my face fiercely, smearing the tears, and drew in a shuddering breath. "The car is ready, Ms. Charlotte," Lois said. The back door opened automatically and I got in. The door closed with a soft click. Lois en

    The phone was still pressed to my ear, the speaker on. I fumbled, but in my panic, I couldn't manage to lower the volume. A hot flush of shame washed over me. But then, I’ve broken up with him. What is left to hide? Angela’s voice returned. “...I told him about the house you bought with that asshole’s money and he said he’ll pay him back twice as much as it costs and even get you a better one. Charlotte, I like him. He’s a cool guy. I know you’ll like him too. He is really down bad for you. Leave that Leo, or whatever his name is. I’ve always had this feeling about him, anyway. He might be gay. He looks beautiful, not handsome, you know? He looks better than most women, which is not a good sign. He might be gay; don't let that height and body blind you." I squeezed my eyes shut. Oh, God. Why is this so awkward? He was hearing every damn word. He hated being referred as such. His childhood trauma too, I had to stop Angela from making this more awkward. “Angela, please. Let’s t

    Then she sighed. "Seriously, I am not good at giving relationship advice." Obviously, I thought. "But..." she continued. "Don't be mad, can you tell me what happened before that? Did he just snap out of nowhere?" "I assured him, I told him not to listen to Marcus..." "Who is Marcus?" she asked. "He is a nobody! Yet Leo let him get under his skin, and because of this Marcus he almost killed me." "What did Marcus say?" "Does it matter? I told him not to listen, but he didn't!" "You are the older one, ain't you?" I stabbed her with my red eyes. "What is that supposed to mean?" Gwen put her hands up. "Nothing wrong with that. Just that...maybe you should look at his age...maybe he is not living up to your expectations because of his age. I know this must be the first time you've seen him behave in such a way. That means he is a human who can make mistakes...Think about the good times. Don't you think you are overreacting? Are you perfect? You never did something to make him r

    "I am happy you are alive." I concluded sadly. The stupid Flu didn't stop me from going crazy then. Silence followed. Eventually, we were off the yacht, and Rico went back with the motor yacht towards the beach house across. “I’ll make breakfast. You need to take your medicine.” Charlotte finally spoke. She didn’t look at me. Not once. She just turned and walked away. It should’ve felt hopeful. She was alive. We were safe. The worst had been avoided. But it didn’t feel better. Not even a little. Gwen cleared her throat. "Did you really force yourself on her? How...I don't see you as that type, were you possessed or something, Mr. Priest?" She was trying to lighten up the tense atmosphere. I turned to her. "Oh my goodness, are you crying?" I hadn't realized I was. "I think I was indeed possessed, Gwen." She was silent. "I don't believe in that...what happened...did you just act like that... something must've happened." "It doesn't matter what happened! The truth

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    YES BUT...

    Oh, God!! No!! I coughed and held my breath as I dove under, my eyes stinging. The icy water was nothing compared to my fear and adrenaline. The morning sunlight barely penetrated the churning darkness inside the water. I searched and can't see anything. I came up again. "Charlotte!!" I cried, my throat dry. Then dove back into the water. Then, fortunately, I saw a flash of her fabric and then a hand. My eyes widened and heart raced at the hopeful sight. I swam towards her and grabbed her hand. She was a dead weight, limp and heavy with waterlogged clothes and terror. I struggled and kicked for the surface with everything I had, my own lungs burning. We broke through, gasping and coughing, but a wave immediately crashed over our heads, dragging us under again. The undertow was fierce. I fought it, one arm locked around her chest, the other clawing toward where I thought the surface was. My strength, my size—it meant nothing against the ocean’s strength. I felt my s
