Charlotte’s POV

I walked briskly beside my secretary as she followed me down the hallway towards my office. The poor woman was struggling to keep up with my pace while balancing a tablet and a stack of documents in her hands.

“Mrs. Voss, the officers from the Standards Agency arrived twenty minutes ago,” she informed me nervously. “They’re currently waiting in your office.”

I stopped abruptly. “In my office?” I repeated.

“Yes, ma’am.”

I closed my eyes briefly. Of course… It's one problem after

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 35

    Alexander’s POVIt was nine in the evening when I quietly slipped out of my own house.Charlotte had already retired to the bedroom after another emotionally exhausting day. Although we’d had dinner together and exchanged a few words, things still felt heavy between us. The problem wasn’t that we didn’t love each other. If anything, I loved her too much.Maybe that was why the thought of losing her terrified me.I drove myself to a bar downtown where Malcolm and Dexter were already waiting.Neither of them were close friends. I didn’t really have close friends. I had acquaintances. People I had known for years. Men I’d made deals with, competed against, and occasionally drank with when life became too unbearable.Malcolm raised his glass when I arrived. “Alexander Voss himself.”Dexter chuckled. “About time. We thought your wife had chained you to the house.”I forced a smile. “Something like that.”We ordered drinks and sat in one of the private lounges. The first hour passed with th

    Charlotte’s POVI returned home completely distressed and confused. My mind had been in chaos ever since Alex asked me that horrible question over the phone.‘What do you think about us getting divorced?’Even now, I couldn’t believe those words had come from him and what made it worse was that when I demanded an explanation, he had simply gone quiet before saying, “Never mind, Charlotte.”Then he hung up. Never mind? How was I supposed to never mind something like that?I hadn’t been able to focus on anything for the past hour. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sit still.I paced around the living room like a madwoman. The bottle of wine I had poured myself was already half empty, yet my nerves refused to calm down.I checked the time again, still no sign of Alex. I picked up my phone and texted him.‘Come home immediately. We need to talk.’I sat down then stood up again then sat then resumed pacing.The maid had asked me twice if I wanted dinner, and I’d practically chased her away.I

Of course… It's one problem after another.“And what else?” I asked.“The marketing department finished the draft of the counter campaign. It’s a film-style advertisement. They believe it will help repair the company’s image and reassure the public.”That was the first pleasant thing I’d heard all day. “Good.”I resumed walking. “Very good. At least somebody around here is giving me positive updates.”She managed a small smile. “The team worked overnight on it.”“I’ll commend them personally later.”By the time we reached my off

    Alexander’s POVFor a moment, I forgot how to breathe as my eyes remained fixed on the phone screen.The image of my assistant’s body refused to leave my mind. The blood, the bullet hole and His motionless body sprawled across the floor.I tightened my grip on the phone so hard that my knuckles turned white. “What the hell…” The words barely left my mouth before the screen suddenly glitched and the image dissolved into static.My jaw clenched as a familiar distorted voice echoed through the speaker. “Mr. Alexander Lucien Voss.”The moment I heard it, every ounce of restraint inside me snapped. “You son of a bitch!”My roar filled the vehicle as my driver nearly slammed on the brakes from shock.“You think this is funny?” I asked and the static crackled.The voice remained calm, cold and almost amused. “You attempted to outsmart us.”I leaned forward violently. “Who the hell are you?”“You attempted to outsmart us, Mr. Voss.” The voice ignored my question. “And you attempted to double

    Alexander’s POVI knew I was allowing rage to cloud my judgment. I knew it but I could not bring myself to care.Someone had threatened my wife inside my private jet. Someone had infiltrated both my company and Charlotte’s company. Someone had hacked our systems, blackmailed Charlotte, and now dared to order her to divorce me.That was no longer business. That was war!!!As soon as we entered the plane, Charlotte hurried after me. “Alexander, please calm down.”I ignored her. “Alexander.”“Not now, Charlotte.”Her hand caught my arm. “You’re angry. I understand that. But you need to think clearly.”I turned toward her. “And what happens if I think clearly and discover the same thing I already know?”“What?”“That someone just threatened my wife.” My voice echoed through the cabin with several crew members visibly stiffened.Charlotte sighed before saying. “I am not saying you should ignore it.”“Then stop asking me to calm down.” I snapped and walked away before she could answer.“Get

    Charlotte’s POVMy head felt like it was about to explode as I paced back and forth across the hospital reception area with my phone clutched tightly in my hand.The calls would not stop. Different calls from investors and notifications kept pouring in.Twenty calls or maybe more… All within ten minutes. I ignored every single one.What exactly was I supposed to tell them? That my company was being accused of selling adulterated products? That hundreds of fake designs had been sold through a hidden proxy system none of us knew existed? That the FDA was now involved?I felt sick as my phone rang again but this time it was my secretary.I answered immediately. “Tell me you have good news.”Her voice sounded exhausted. “I just got off the phone with the FDA.”I stopped pacing. “What did they say?”“They’ve agreed to give us one week.”I released a shaky breath. One week is not enough but it’s better than nothing.“One week to investigate and prove our legitimacy.” She addedI rubbed my
