Charlotte’s POV

I got dressed early the following morning and joined Elena downstairs for breakfast. For once, the dining table felt strangely peaceful, probably because Derrick wasn’t there.

Elena noticed me looking toward the empty seat.

“Derrick travelled last night,” she explained as she poured herself some coffee. “He had some business to handle in another city.”

I nodded. “That explains why it’s so quiet.”

She laughed softly. “I know. Sometimes I think the man carries noise around with hi

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 115

    Charlotte’s POVA message notification woke me in the middle of the night.For a few seconds, I remained still beneath the covers, staring into the darkness while trying to remember where I was. My heart was beating faster than usual, probably because the sudden sound had pulled me out of a deep sleep.Then my phone vibrated again. I reached for it from the bedside table and squinted at the screen.The message was from my former secretary so I immediately sat up.At this hour, she wouldn’t be messaging me unless whatever she had discovered was important.I unlocked my phone and opened our conversation. There were several messages waiting for me.I read the first one then the second and the third. By the time I reached the end, I was completely awake.“Alex and Victor actually acquired those companies,” I whispered.I pushed the blanket away and climbed out of bed. My curiosity had completely overpowered my tiredness.I walked over to the small desk in my room, switched on the lamp and

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 114

    Alexander’s POVI remained seated in my vehicle for another minute even though I had already arrived at my destination.My hands rested loosely against the steering wheel, but my mind was anything but relaxed. Everything that had happened over the past few days kept circling through my head, especially the plan Victor and I had been quietly developing to get rid of the three tycoons.It was a dangerous plan. Possibly the most dangerous thing I had ever involved myself in but at this point, I couldn’t see another way out.Federick Prescott, Charles Carrington, and Margot Kensington had spent too long treating me like a useful pawn. They had taken advantage of my anger, my grief, and my desire for revenge, giving me just enough power to believe I was becoming part of their empire while making sure I never had enough power to challenge them.I was done with that. Victor was done with it too.The question was whether we would survive long enough to actually turn the tables.I exhaled slo

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 113

    Charlotte’s POVElena opened the door to our new apartment, and for a moment, we simply stood there staring at the place before grinning at each other like two children who had just been handed the keys to their dream home.“We actually did it,” Elena said excitedly.I laughed as I stepped inside. “Yes, we did.”She immediately dropped her handbag on the nearest chair and began moving around the apartment, opening doors, checking the rooms and looking through the windows as though she had never seen the place before.“Charlotte, look at this kitchen!”“I’ve seen it.”“But look at it again!” She said and I laughed.Elena rushed toward the kitchen cabinets and opened them one after another. “We have so much storage space.”“You said that about the last apartment.”“That was different.”“How?”“That one belonged to Derrick.” Her smile disappeared briefly before she shook the thought away. “This one is ours.”I smiled. She was right.For the first time in days, Elena looked genuinely happ

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 112

    Alexander’s POVMy plane landed back in Seattle, but the moment my feet touched the ground, I knew I was nowhere near calming down.The entire flight had done nothing to ease the anger boiling inside me.If anything, it had given me too much time to think.I kept replaying the confrontation at BlueGrid Architects in my head. Frederick Prescott walking into Ryan’s company as though he owned the entire building. The way he demanded the ZeroGrid blueprints. Ryan’s refusal to hand them over. Frederick’s cold threat to take Ryan’s life.And then there was Charlotte.Her face, her voice and her eyes when she looked at me. I hated myself for still reacting to her presence.She was the woman who had murdered my sister. The woman whose actions had destroyed my family and left me carrying a wound I couldn’t seem to close.Yet somehow, every time I think of her, something inside me becomes unsettled.I clenched my jaw as I walked toward my car. I had made a decision.I was done with Frederick, V

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 111

    Charlotte’s POVI continued typing furiously on my computer for several minutes after I stormed out of the conference room. My fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, but I barely registered the words appearing on the screen. My mind was still inside that conference room, replaying everything that had happened over and over again.It felt as though every road I tried to take away from my past somehow curved back and led me straight into it.I clenched my jaw and forced myself to concentrate on the document in front of me. I had work to do, and I refused to allow those men to consume another minute of my day.A few minutes later, movement outside my glass door caught my attention.I looked up and saw Alexander was walking past my office. For a brief second, our eyes met through the glass.He slowed slightly while I stared at him without saying a word. Preferably, we were both staring at each other.There was a time when simply seeing that face would have made my heart beat faster f

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 110

    Charlotte’s POVI answered his question with one of my own. “Why are you choosing to do business with BlueGrid? What happened to other companies in Seattle?”Alexander’s lips curved into a small smile before speaking. “I told you. I’m interested in testing my waters and exploring new opportunities.”I stared at him without returning the smile. “Then why now?”His eyebrows rose. “Now what?”“Yes. Why did you suddenly decide to explore new opportunities after I started working here?”He leaned back in his chair, studying me. “Do you think I’m here because of you?” He asked with a loud scoff.“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking.” I said pointedly without stuttering.“And what makes you think I should be here because of you?”I raised my brows. “Because you don’t look surprised to see me working here at BlueGrid!”The smile disappeared from his face. For several seconds, he said nothing.That silence told me more than an answer could have.I leaned forward in my seat. “I know you’re the

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 1

    Charlotte’s POVI pushed his hand away again, forcing a tight smile as I kept my eyes forward.“Alexander,” I whispered, my voice low but firm, “we’re not alone.”“I can see that,” he murmured, completely unfazed.His fingers slipped right back to my waist like I hadn’t just warned him, like we wer

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 4

    Alexander’s POVThe day before…When I woke up that morning, the first thing I noticed was the stiffness in my neck.I blinked slowly and stared up at the ceiling of the living room. 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

  • Fractured Hearts: He Left Me, Now He Wants Me Back   Chapter 3

    Charlotte’s POVThe tension in the living room was thick enough to suffocate me.Mrs. Voss stood across from me with her perfectly straight posture and cold, assessing eyes. She had always carried herself like a queen walking through a court that existed only to serve her. Even now, standing in my
