Mag-log inAt eighteen, Charlotte never imagined she’d become a wife — especially to Elijah, her brother’s cold and distant friend. He was powerful, feared, and far too complicated for someone like her. But behind his calm façade lies a secret — a woman from his past who would do anything to have him back. When jealousy turns into obsession, Charlotte’s life is put in danger the moment that woman discovers Elijah secretly married a young girl. In a world where love can cost a life, will Charlotte survive loving a man who was never meant to be hers? Because sometimes, love at eighteen isn’t a fairytale — it’s a dangerous vow.
view moreElisse approached and sat beside her. She didn’t sit on the bed, but on the chair next to it.“What are we going to talk about?”She squinted and leaned back, pouting slightly as she looked at Charlotte.“I’ve noticed something about you two in the past few days, even if I wasn’t around to see you.”Charlotte tilted her head in confusion. How could she notice, even without seeing them?“Don’t go home, Charlotte! I hid my third eye in your bag to figure out how you two treat each other when I can’t see you in person.”Elisse really was strange.“Anyway, back to what I noticed. Are you okay now… do you love him?”Charlotte’s eyes widened. No beating around the bush—she asked it directly. She didn’t answer immediately.“Tsk… tsk… it’s hard. Let it out, Charlotte, because keeping it inside is bad for your health. It even gives you headaches whenever you plan to say something but hesitate.”She sighed. “You know Luis, right?”“Which one? Your classmate who got drunk at the bar?”“Yes.”“Ok
Charlotte froze at what Elijah said. Surely, he didn’t mean for those words to slip out… right?Elijah gently moved her back and stared into her face. “Maybe it’s time everyone knew, Charlotte. I’ll protect you, no matter what happens.”She quickly shook her head. “No, Elijah. I need to graduate without anyone finding out I’m already married.”She saw the emotion flicker across Elijah’s face—sadness.“Are you still scared of what people will say?”“No. I’m more scared that it might spread and affect you.”His brows knitted. “What do you mean?”“The special girl… remember?”Elijah closed his eyes and massaged his temples. “Why are you still thinking about that?”She fell silent. Maybe it was also time to admit what she felt… feelings she knew weren’t ordinary. It was hard to confess to someone who was so difficult to read.“What? Why, Charlotte?” he asked.She avoided his gaze. “I—I don’t know,” she whispered. It wasn’t the right time yet.“Tsk. You won’t have a choice once I start ent
Charlotte closed her eyes and clutched the blanket beside her.“I—I feel dizzy.”“What?! Why didn’t you tell me right away?”She opened her eyes and looked at Elijah. Their faces were only a hand’s span apart.“This is your fault! Why did you kiss me while you were sick?! Now I probably caught whatever virus you have!”His brows knitted. “What are you talking about?”Her eyes widened. Don’t tell her Elijah doesn’t remember everything he did last night.“You don’t remember? You were acting like a crazy person!”He shook his head, genuine confusion on his face. Her lips parted in disbelief.“Tell me you’re joking. Tell me you do remember.”“I really don’t know what happened last night.”She bit her lip. Was that even possible—to forget everything once the fever went down?“But are you okay? Can you handle the dizziness? Do you want to go to the hospital? I can tell Elisse we need to leave right now.”She shook her head. It would probably pass. Maybe she was just hungry, or maybe she did
Charlotte had been awake for a while now—or more accurately, it felt like she hadn’t slept at all. Something inside her felt uneasy, restless, though she couldn’t explain what it was.She wanted so badly to sleep straight through,but her body refused. Even when she managed to fall asleep, it lasted only a few moments—minutes, maybe. She doubted she got even one full hour of rest.Elijah was no longer beside her. He must have left the room and gone to the dining area. Was he really well enough to be up and about?She decided to get up, but her eyes shut automatically when the world suddenly spun around her.What’s happening?Still, because she wanted to go outside, she forced herself to walk in a straight line, even though her steps felt slow and heavy, until she finally made it down the stairs.No one was in the living room, so she headed to the dining area instead.At just one glance, she saw Elisse already eating, while Elijah sat across from her, arms crossed, watching his sister
Charlotte's POVShe had been sitting in an old chair in a small room at the back of Elijah's house for a while now. It looked like a storage room filled with outdoor cleaning supplies. She had wondered why Elijah had asked her to stay there initially, but he had given her a reason. The u
Charlotte's POVShe instinctively placed her hand on her stomach as it suddenly grumbled. It seems like the baby inside her belly is hungry. She stared blankly, realizing that she should eat too. She can't afford to skip meals anymore.Elijah entered the room again and stopped right beside her."What d
Charlotte's POVShe woke up in her room, not in Elijah's room. She sat up, but a hand gently supported her back."Take it slow." She looked and saw Elisse by her side. "Do you want to eat? I can tell the maid to cook something for you."She shook her head. "Just water.""Wait, I'll get it from outside."
Elijah's POVHis chest tightened at the words coming out of Charlotte's mouth. They got married because of his mistake, but that wasn't a reason for her to abort the baby because of her reasons."Have you thought that once you abort that baby, it's like you're killing the baby before it even gets to l
