Charlotte sat on the couch, her mind spinning. She couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at her. Who was upstairs? Charles had dismissed it casually, but her instincts screamed otherwise.

“Okay, let’s get down to business,” Charles said, leaning forward, fingers steepled together as if he had nothing in the world to hide.

Just then, there was a loud clatter from the staircase. Both their heads snapped toward the noise. A tall, blonde woman appeared, walking down completely naked, but with a G-string and a bra, her heels clicking loudly against the marble floor.

“Baby,” the woman purred, flashing a flirty smile as she reached the bottom step, “you left me upstairs... again.” She paused mid-step when her gaze landed on Charlotte, sitting in the middle of the room, wide-eyed.

The woman’s eyes widened as recognition dawned. “Oh my God!” she screamed, dramatically placing a hand on her chest. “Who is this? Are we going to have visitors now?”

Charlotte’s face was impassive, but inside,

    Olivia's POVMy life seems like a mess, and I'm clouded with boredom and sadness. I'm left all alone. My family never loved me. They only love Charlotte and support her moves while I'm being scoldedfor any little mistake I've made. It would have been better if Dad were alive; maybe he's going to love me more than any other person.I stared at myself in the mirror, and I saw the paleness and sadness deep in my soul.Apologizing to Charlotte is now the only solution I have. On the other hand, I felt like a selfish and ungrateful soul. Charlotte risked her life just to fend for us and to pay my fees.A knock at the door jolted me out of my thoughts. It was Charlotte. I opened the door and let herin.“Hey. You look horrible." She said, palming my cheeks.“I know," I said while I gently removed her hand from my cheeks. We both stared at each other for a while before we both decided to break the silence.“I'm sorry." We both said, staring at each other.“You go first.” Charlotte urged me

  • Love in Disguise    Chapter 59: Beyond The Facade Of Deception

    Linda's POV ( Charlotte and Olivia's mum).I wouldn't deny that I'm not aware of the unusual calmness in the house. The silence isn't normal; it's carrying a heavy weight between two sisters. Sisters, they say, always have ameans of settling each other's misunderstanding, but the cases of Charlotte and Olivia are getting worse, and I've been waiting for them to settle it themselves,s, but I guess it's time I settle it for them.When Charlotte came back from work, she was looking very tired and stressed, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't settle the conflict. When dinner was ready, I called them both for dinner, and they began eating in silence before I decided to break the silence.“Girls, I've noticed that a lot is going on between you, and you're not on good terms with each other. Do you care to tell me?" I asked, looking at both of them, and they both kept quiet.“I'm talking to you guys, and I need an answer," I said sternly before Charlotte decided to speakup.“Mum, it's all abo

  • Love in Disguise    Chapter 58: Hidden Agendas

    Charlotte's POVOlivia's silent treatment continued, and this time, I didn't give a fuck about it. I'm her elder sister and she should start seeing me as one and not trying to blame me for all the things she has been doing. Charles has been secretive recently, and he doesn't talk much with me, and it hurts. I know he has the right to live a private life, but I'm obsessed with knowing everything about me, and I think it's because of the little moments we've shared.Monday morning came, and I resumed work, still feeling stressed and emotionally imbalanced. I got to my office, which was outside Charles' office, and I sat down on my chair, arranging the documents we would need for today's work. After I was done, I entered Charles' office anddropped them on the table and I was about to go out when a small sheet of paper attracted me.I opened his drawer and tried reading the contents of the paper when he walked.“What are you doing in my office? Charles asked and his voice startled me."I

  • Love in Disguise    Deception And Denial

    Charles's POV continuedThe plan Noah gave me was a very nice one that I didn't even think about, but I have another way of executing my plans and it must work out well. Dressed up in my black suit and shoes with a golden wristwatch, I took my car keys and called Tessa that I would be coming to pick up herup. We are having a date in preparation for our upcoming wedding because we will have to get used to being with each other. I drove down to Tessa's house, and she was dressed in a short pink dress, which I ordered for her, and her baby bump was showing in the dress. Tessa was already outside her house when I got there. I got out of the car to meet her. I gave her a brief hug and pecked her cheeks and that brought a smile to her face.“You look like an angel, and the baby bump, too, is cute," I said while she blushed harder.“Thank you, baby." She replied. I held her hand and led her to the car and I opened the door for her. When I was sure that she was sitting down comfortably, I c

  • Love in Disguise    Chapter 56: A Father's Ultimatum

    Olivia's POVMy sister is one of the best people I've ever met in this world. She inconvenienced herself so she could feed us and pay our bills, but she could have told me the truth right from the start, and that was why we are sisters, right? Now everything made sense to me. The disguise I found in her wardrobe and how she has been acting suspiciously keep making me wonder how her boss hasn't noticed her. And how was she able to disguise as two people in the same location and at the same time?Running away from home will not solve the problem at hand and it will keep giving distances to the relationship between us. I ran away from home because I was angry at her, but at some point, I realized that I ought not to be angry, but I wanted her to realize the gravity of what she had done. We are family and we should get the approval of each other before we get involved in anything, especially this risky work of hers. She could go to jail for it if her boss could get that she's impersonati

  • Love in Disguise    Chapter 55: Masks And Revelation

    Charlotte's POV continuedI entered the house with my extra key and started tiptoeing to my room and suddenly I hit my head on the wall. I used my hand to search for the light switch to turn it on and see where I was going and the wall I hit my head on, and it was Olivia. She was dressed in shorts and a crop top. With the way she was tiptoeing, I knew she was trying to sneak out of the house probably to meet Adrian. For a second or two, we both stood staring at each other. Olivia tried screaming, but I was quick enough to cover her mouth with my hands so she wouldn't wake Mum up.“Relax Olivia. It's me, Charlotte, and not a thief who breaks in." I said. Olivia tried talking but my hands on her mouth restricted her from talking. Noticing her struggles, I decided to release my hand from her mouth hoping that she won't scream.“What the hell is happening here,e and why are you calling yourself Charlotte when you're not? Do you think I'm a kid?" Olivia ranted out. Noticing that words won'
