Carmine's POV

"Just send my regards to your parents from me, babe," Sylus said as he watched me get ready for the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Greene's anniversary.

"Okay, I will."

I just wore a simple baby blue square neck dress, and had my hair half up half down. At least, this what Charlotte used to look like when she was still with them based on the photos that Olivia showed me while I was preparing for my pretention.

I was surprised when I suddenly felt Sylus' arms around my waist, hugging me from behind me.

"You look so fucking pretty, I kind of want you to just stay here with me," he whispered, his breath on my nape tickling me.

"You know how important this night is for my parents, Sylus. I don't want to miss it," I said as I continued putting my lipstick on my lips.

Sylus held me even tighter, as if he didn't ever want to let me go. "I know that, but I will miss you."

I let out a sigh as I moved away from him and faced him instead. "You're going to see me tomo

    As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Sylus already lying on the bed while reading a book. I was surprised when he suddenly looked at me. "Come here, babe." For some reason, I started feeling nervous as if Sylus was going to do something I wouldn't like. "Come here," he repeated, patting the space beside him. Why do I suddenly feel awkward now that I'm going to sleep beside him again? Shouldn't I feel comfortable already? I took a deep breath as I sat down on the bed, still thinking of a good reason to avoid sleeping beside him tonight. "Come on, babe. Don't be shy now," I almost screamed when I suddenly felt Sylus' hand on my arm. I was about to struggle, but then he suddenly pulled me to the bed, making me lay down beside him. "S-Sylus, what are you doing?" I whispered, my brows furrowed as I looked at him. He grinned, wrapping his arms around me, "Why don't you just lay down beside me? Don't tell me it is that day again?" "W-What day?" "The day you become

    "Where did you sleep last night? that was the first thing that Sylus asked me the moment I stepped inside his office. "I-I slept at Luke's place," I replied, trying to sound casual. He raised an eyebrow as if he wasn't believing what I just said, then he stood up without taking his eyes off me. "Charlotte, you just said you were going to your friend's house and you didn't come home last night I was so worried about you. Even Natalia was so worried she was crying the whole night thinking that you might have vanished again. Did you even think about that?"Damn it.I lost my phone at the bar, that's why I wasn't able to text nor call Sylus. I was also too drunk that I didn't really think about that anymore. Of course, I can't tell Sylus that because he will surely suspect me."I-I'm really sorry, Sylus..I-I promise that will never happen again..."Sylus stopped in front of me. He was so tall that he was towering over me. His gaze was so sharp I could feel my heart beating so fast. "Yo

    I woke up with my head feeling so heavy. I opened my eyes and found out I was in an unfamiliar room. I immediately sat up and roamed my eyes around the room. Whose house is this? Wait, how did I even get here? Just when I was about to stand up, the door went open and I was surprised when I saw Luke Greene, still in his pajamas while holding a tray with a cup on the top of it. "You're finally awake. Drink this before you come down. It will help for your hangover," he said as he placed the cup on the side table. "T-Thanks..." Seeing Luke suddenly brought back the things I did last night. I got so drunk because I was so frustrated of getting caught by him, then I went here to beg for him to let me continue with my pretention for a month. I don't even remember if he said yes or not. "I have already prepared our breakfast, come down once you're ready or if you're already hungry." "O-Okay...Thanks." He didn't say anything after that. He just nodded his head and left. God, the wa

    "What did you say? Charlotte Greene's brother found out about your pretention? How did that happen? How did he find out about it?" I nodded my head. "He's a doctor, dad. For sure he noticed some things that were inconsistent, and from that he concluded that maybe I was a different person. He investigated further, then he found out the truth." Dad let out a deep sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. "We haven't even gotten enough information and we have already been found out. Does Sylus already know about this, too?" I shook my head. "No, he doesn't know about it yet, dad. He will only find out about it once Luke decides to tell it to him." "Then we need to make sure that Luke will never tell Sylus about your secret yet. Because if that mafia boss finds out about that, he will surely do everything to destroy us again, and worst, kill you."I felt my whole body shaking as I heard dad say about the possibilty of Sylus killing me. "B-But how do we even do that? Luke Gre

    "I'm so glad the two of you seem to be getting along so well again," Mrs. Greene while we were having dinner together as the celebration of their anniversary. "You're right. Charlotte, can you remember those times when you and Luke used to bicker a lot? Oh, the house just can't be quiet whenever there were the two of you because you keep on teasing each other like dogs and cats," Mr. Greene said, laughing. I smiled as I glanced at Luke who didn't even have any reaction to what his parents were saying. He suddenly wiped his mouth and put his cutlery down. "She won't remember any of that. That would be impossible.;"I suddenly felt my heart beating so fast. Is he going to reveal my true identity now? "You're right, but you know, for sure as time goes by, Charlotte will begin to remember everything. Right, sweetheart?" Mrs. Greene said to me, smiling empathetically.I forced a smile on my face as I nodded my head, "Y-Yes..."" I know you still feel awkward around us, Charlotte. But y
