At the wedding venue, Charlotte is stunned to find her supposed groom exchanging vows with another woman.

But is it truly to her advantage? When reality sets in and she’s faced with choices she never anticipated, can she find redemption? Or, will love bloom in the ruins of betrayal?

As planned already I accentuated my curves in my exquisite evening dress with some mild makeup just to enhance my beauty to get ready for the dinner at William's abode.Meanwhile, by then Estella was through her dressing and hop outside without saying a word to me. Usually, she behaves weirdly and I know her so I don't get worked up for nothing.“Charlotte!” She yelled my name from the living room but I decided to be mute as I turned to check myself in the mirror.My reflection was glaring at me as it sang songs of praises to me. In order not to get on her last nerves, I raced outside in a hurry.Before I stepped down from the stairs, her facial muscles tightened and without missing words feels like strangling me with her bare.“What kept you so long, Charlotte? Freaking thirty minutes!” Her cheeks reddened but I burst out laughing.“Come on, why are you like this? You seem to be in a haste to see William. What are you not telling you?”“What I am not telli
Liam's POV As my alarm screamed loudly in my ears the next morning, my sleep was dragged into the carpet.The moment I struggled to open my eyes I was frozen and startled at the same time. “Mom!” I yelled as if I was about to jump out of my skin.“Come on, son. It's your mom. Why are you startled this much,” she spoke as she laughed at me.My gaze was still blurry as there was some remnants of sleep in it. “Wait, I thought I locked this door before sleeping,” my voice was full of doubts.“I know you didn't sleep here yesterday. How did you appear here this early?” I asked numerous questions at the same time as I yawned repeatedly.As my eyes darted around, I gripped the edge of the bed and sat upright with my eyes wide open now. “You should be happy to see me. Why are you still looking this stressed after many hours of sleep?” She asked as she relaxed on the couch.“Anyways, freshen up and come downstairs for breakfast so we can talk. Norman is already downstairs waiting for you but I
Liam's POV Immediately after the board of directors meeting together with Darcy as the centre of the discussion, everything went well and easily.“Mr Blackwood, it's past our closing time, and I'm very happy; everything went on well as expected,” Norman expressed his happiness.Meanwhile, I didn't know why I felt different. I mean I should be happy that finally I'm not going to lose this billions of dollars deal.I lay both hands on the metallic frame around the corridor, and my breath was slow. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but I knew all wasn't well with me.Added to my disappointment was a feeling of guilt that suffocated me. But the night was still young and the breeze was chilly but I was sweatingFor a moment, I couldn't stand still as I was waiting for Norman to make things set before we left home. Then I paced up and down at the corridor's path and I wish that could give me a clearer mind.As my mind whirled, my phone rang loudly and broke through my thoughts. I paused
Liam's POV What the fuck is wrong with this lady?! I stared at her in utter shock as she laughed like she was trying to get on my last nerves.“What's funny, Elizabeth?!” My voice was vibrating as I felt I was being joked with.I was shocked to the core as the cold resentment in her varnished and she couldn't help herself from laughing. “Trash that mentality off her mind, Liam. Because it doesn't exist!”“The Blackwoods and the Millers are the best relationships ever, especially now that our wedding is coming off. Trust me, the relationship will be stronger!” there was a warm smile that echoed in her voice.I shrugged to hide my confusion but I couldn't. It was hard to stay coherent as I was torn by conflicting emotions. Suddenly, some of my anger evaporated, leaving only confusion. “What do you mean by that?
