The next day, I stood in front of Olive’s door, my palms damp, my chest tight.

Across the street, Leo waited in the car, the engine off, his gaze fixed on the house like he was bracing for impact. If things went wrong, one signal from me and he’d be there. Just knowing that steadied me a little.

I exhaled slowly and pressed the doorbell again.

“Hold it!”

Emma’s voice floated from inside.

My heart skipped.

The door opened, and for a split second, we just stared at each other. Then Emma’s face broke into the brightest smile, the kind that reaches the eyes and softens everything.

“Charlotte!”

She pulled me into a hug before I could even react. It was warm, familiar, and it undid me instantly.

“I missed you guys so much,” I sobbed, the words tumbling out with the tears I hadn’t planned on shedding.

Emma held me tighter. “I missed you too. I’m really sorry I didn’t call to hear your side. Olive told me about Mystery and made me promise not to reach out—to you or anyone connected

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    HOW DARE YOU?!

    “Musa, I… I have to go. I’m sorry.” Marcus walked over and took the phone from my hand before I could end the call. “Musa. A pleasure. But my lovely wife is tired. Don’t think of coming here to take her away. She is exactly where she belongs. This conversation is over.” “Hunter, you listen to me—” Musa didn't get the chance to complete his threatening words as Marcus turned and hurled the phone against the marble wall of the dining hall. The phone exploded into a shower of plastic and glass, scattering everywhere. I gasped, my eyes wide with shock. A scream of pure rage tore from my throat. I jumped up from my chair. “What is wrong with you?!" He turned back to me. “You dare raise your voice at me?” "That's my pho..." He backhanded me across the face right there at the table. The force snapped my head to the side, and I crashed into my chair, seeing stars. Silverware clattered to the floor. “MOMMY!” Angel’s tiny scream pierced the ringing in my ears.

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    END THAT MARRIAGE

    "It's nice to hear from you, Angela." I held back from saying how much I'd missed her. This was the first time I’d heard her voice in years. "Charlotte,you don't know how happy I am right now. I paid a lot to get your contact. How could you ghost your own family, Charlotte? You didn't even come to our wedding. Your family hasn’t laid eyes on you in five years. Honestly, what is going on? This isn’t normal. Getting married is on e thing then abandoning your friends and family is something else. What crime did we commit? We didn’t even get to see what your daughter looks like—you hide her from social media, too. I just don't know..." "Her name is Angel." I replied. "You named her after my nickname? That's so sweet. Now this is serious. I need to see her. My five kids need to meet their cousin." Angela marrying Musa wasn't surprising, but having five kids in the span of five years was. "Five kids?" I asked. "A set of twins first, then triplets. Pray for me." She re

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    ANSWER THAT CALL

    “Mommy is not dumb,” Angel replied with a frown. “Sweetie, you should eat,” I said, trying to close the conversation before it turned into something else. When Angel finally focused on her food, I felt a bit relieved. She is a very active and outspoken child. I’m happy she didn’t take after my timid personality, but sometimes her inquisitiveness makes me uncomfortable because some truths are hard to tell. Still, she is very kind and understanding for her age. I raised my eyes and met Marcus’s cold blue gaze watching me over the rim of his wine glass. I faced my own plate and didn’t look up at him again. Just as dessert was being cleared for the main meal, Angela spoke up. “Mommy, Bella said my eyes and hair are scary.” “Why would she say that? There’s nothing scary about your eyes or your hair, sweetie,” I said, playing oblivious. Angela was born with the rarest grey eyes and a streak of white in her hair—a trait from my side of the family. Two of my half-broth

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    ALRIGHT TO ME

    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

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION    HE IS BACK

    "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

  • BILLIONAIRE'S PLUS-SIZE OBSESSION     I MARRIED HIM

    "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. "How on earth did she know?" 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 weight you've lost, Charlotte
