Charlotte’s POV

The waiting was torture. For the past forty-five minutes, Alexander, his mother, and I had been trapped inside the hospital reception area, surviving on nothing but hope and fear.

No one would tell us anything, and no one would give us an update. Every time a nurse walked past, Alexander’s head snapped toward them.

Every time a door opened, Mrs. Voss sat straighter in her seat and every single time, disappointment followed.

I sat beside Alexander and held his hand tightly. “It’l

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 87

    Charlotte’s POVI stood beside the security officer as the CCTV footage played on the monitor. “Pause it there,” I said.The officer did as I requested. “There.”Anna appeared on the screen, stepping out of the BlueGrid building just a few minutes after Ryan and I had left for dinner the previous day.“Can you continue?”He nodded as the footage resumed while I watched closely, refusing to blink.Anna walked down the company steps without looking around suspiciously. She crossed the road at an unhurried pace before raising her hand to stop a taxi.I leaned closer to the screen as the taxi drove away.The security officer switched to another camera positioned outside the building.The same cab appeared again but only this time, I could clearly see its direction.It wasn’t following Ryan’s car. It wasn’t even heading toward the restaurant. It drove in the complete opposite direction.I stared at the screen for another few seconds before letting out a quiet breath.“So…” I murmured under

    Charlotte PovThe impact sent me stumbling backward but before I could steady myself, Derrick’s hand shot out and clamped around my arm.“What are you doing here?” His voice was low, but there was nothing calm about it.I looked up at him, my heart pounding so violently that it hurt. “D-Derrick…” I stuttered out.His eyes narrowed. “What are you doing in my house?”“I…” The words caught in my throat. “I was just…”“You were just what?”His grip tightened until I winced. “I asked you a question.” He growled into my face.“I came to—”His expression suddenly darkened as he cut me off sharply. “It was Elena, wasn’t it?”I blinked, taken aback. “What?”“She sent you to spy on me, right?” He growled out the question like he was going to chop my head off if I made a mistake.“No.” I shook my head immediately. “She didn’t.”“Don’t lie to me!” His voice rose, echoing through the hallway. “She definitely sent you here to spy on me.”“No.” I tried pulling my arm free. “You’re mistaken.”“I said

    Charlotte PovI stared at my phone for several long seconds after the call ended. “Elena?”Silence met my words… I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at the screen. The call had already disconnected.I sighed deeply and rubbed my temple. “She didn’t even let me respond.”My instinct told me not to jump to conclusions. Derrick mouthing another woman’s name during such an intimate moment certainly sounded alarming, but it still wasn’t enough to conclude that he was cheating. People misspoke under stress, exhaustion, or distraction. It was possible there was another explanation.I wanted to call Elena back and tell her she might be overthinking the situation.Unfortunately, she wasn’t giving me the chance so I lowered the phone onto my desk and leaned back in my chair.There were still two hours before closing time. Under normal circumstances, I would never consider leaving work because of someone else’s relationship problems.BlueGrid had entrusted me with enormous responsibil

    Charlotte Pov.I remained outside Ryan’s office, my fingers hovering over the door handle as voices drifted through the wood.“I already told you that excuse isn’t acceptable.” Ryan’s voice was firm, carrying the authority that made every employee in BlueGrid take him seriously.The man on the other side sounded nervous. “Sir, the supplier changed the schedule without informing us. We only found out this morning.”“And whose responsibility is it to make sure these things don’t happen?” Ryan asked. “If we keep making room for mistakes, they’ll become habits.”“I’m sorry, sir. We’ve already contacted another supplier. The replacement shipment should arrive before noon.”“It had better. I don’t want a delay affecting the clients. This company has spent years building its reputation. I won’t allow carelessness to chip away at it.”“It won’t happen again, Sir.”There was a brief silence before Ryan finally answered. “Fine. Go and fix it. Then make sure this never happens ever again else, I

    Charlotte’s POV.I stared at the anonymous text for so long that my phone screen dimmed and automatically, it locked itself but I unlocked it again.The message was still there… it hadn’t magically disappeared and neither had the photographs.My fingers tightened around the phone until my knuckles turned white. For several seconds, I couldn’t even breathe properly.‘Looks like you’ve started chasing another rich man already.’ The words replayed in my head over and over again.A lump formed in my throat. “No…” I whispered it to myself, almost like a prayer. “No…”With trembling fingers, I opened the first photograph again where Ryan was pulling out a chair for me inside the restaurant.Anyone looking at the picture without context would assume we were on a date.I swiped to the next one and we were laughing together. Another swipe was Ryan pouring water into my glass. Another was we both walked out of the restaurant side by side.The final photographs were taken outside with Ryan openi

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 82

    Charlotte’s POVI regretted saying yes the moment Ryan and I stepped into the restaurant.It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be there. The restaurant was elegant without being overly luxurious, and the atmosphere was calm enough to hold a conversation without raising our voices.It was because I suddenly became aware of how this looked.Ryan was my boss and I was his employee. If someone from the company happened to see us, they would undoubtedly assume there was something more between us.I slowed my steps unconsciously, my eyes briefly scanning the room.Ryan noticed immediately as he chuckled before speaking. “I knew you’d start overthinking the moment we walked in.”I looked at him awkwardly. “Is it that obvious?”“A little.” He admitted.I sighed, “I just don’t want people getting the wrong impression of us.”He pulled out a chair for me before taking the seat opposite mine. “I figured so I should probably clear something up before we even order.”I raised an eyebrow as he starte

For a moment I wondered why I was there instead of in my bed. Then the memory returned. I had fallen asleep on the c

She had always carried herself like a queen walking through a court that existed only to serve her. Even now, standing in my

    Charlotte’s POVFor a few minutes after Alexander walked upstairs, I remained standing in the living room, staring at the staircase. The house suddenly felt too quiet. Normally when he returned from work he would at least ask how my day went or pull me into a brief hug before disappearing into his
