June 19, 2023. Chapter 1-2. The next chapter will be before midnight. Sorry to keep you waiting. I had people come into the house today for a few fixes. My parents are coming over, and I have to make a lot of preparations. In fact, I will continue to have interruptions until Thursday, but I will try my best to be on time. Thank you for understanding.
Liam's mother recalled those days. After Liam became the CEO of the Diamond Hotel, Scarlett and Kaleb tried to introduce their son to other suitable women in the city. Each time, he would come back to them, giving several excuses. "She is not my type." "I prefer blondes." "She was boring. She isn't funny." "Her eyes. They weren't as pretty." The only woman to ever get close to Liam was Harriet Kent. She was a news anchor at BNC Media. Harriet had three dinner dates with Liam, but her son never let her into his car. Each time they went out, they rode in their respective vehicles. The truth was Scarlett felt Liam did not try hard enough. He had given his heart to one person who was already happily married. Even if this was the case, Scarlett knew her son understood his boundaries. He would never get involved with a married woman. So imagine her surprise when she found out Liam and Charlotte were together! The astonishment she experienced made her lose consciousness completely.
"Liam?" Charlotte called his name. Because of her past life, Charlotte already knew how Liam loved her. That was why she was confident enough to ask him to marry her. Even without Scarlett telling her the truth, deep inside her bones, she felt his love for her. 'However,' she thought. ‘It would be nice to hear it from his mouth, the same way he confessed his love in my previous life.’ "Would it kill you to say I love you? What do you really feel about me?" She asked while clenching her hands against his coat. She didn't blink, her eyes remained to study his athletic face, and she swore he looked so handsome. She felt the urge to touch and kiss him. "Just so we are clear, my answer will not change the fact that you were the one who asked me to marry you," Liam said in his manly voice. Charlotte nearly giggled in amusement. She pouted her lip as she replied, "I'm waiting." Liam's adams apple bobbed repeatedly, and to Charlotte, it made him look incredibly sexy. He replied, "M
Timothy and Victoria took turns viewing the penthouse. They were both in awe of the home's luxurious furnishing and captivating view. They decided the Diamond Hotel was the best property for them to continue their affair. It was the perfect establishment to go unnoticed. Since it was a hotel, people could come in and out. Should Timothy and Victoria be seen together, no one would suspect they rented the property's penthouse. With that decision, Timothy met the hotel manager to confirm his rent. On the other hand, Victoria waited for him in the hotel's underground parking. Timothy was very impressed. They treated him special and invited him into a private conference room for the contract signing. "Mister Cash, my name is Christian. I am the hotel manager. We are glad that you have decided to rent the penthouse." The manager shook Timothy's hand before taking his seat. He said, "Before anything else, I want to discuss the process before we sign the contract." Christian gave Timothy
"Did you sleep well? No nightmares?" Liam asked as he set the treadmill's settings. "Yes -well, I woke up around two but fell back asleep in less than an hour," Charlotte said. "So it was okay." "Why didn't you call me?" Liam asked. "I know you were working until midnight. I asked Chadwick," Charlotte answered. When Charlotte saw Liam frown, she insisted, "It's okay. I think the new environment made me sleep better." He fell silent. Charlotte did not know what was going through his mind, but after a while, he instructed, "Put me on video call while you sleep tonight. I insist.” His offer made Charlotte smile, and as they started with their cardio, she was beaming all throughout. "Charlotte, your body should be your greatest investment. Do at least ten minutes of cardio three times a week," he said while starting with a walk. They were on the treadmill for half an hour since they had time to kill. Afterward, Liam taught Charlotte a few workout routines. They were both sw
Charlotte rolled her eyes, seeing Victoria's message. Timothy had also texted at the same time as her. Victoria: [Charlotte, I miss you. When will you be home? Didn't you say you would be back today?] Timothy: [Love? What time will your flight land? You didn't call me last night.] She replied only to Timothy: [We arrived late in the evening. I'm still tired, but today is the monthly report meeting with the board of directors, so I have to be there.] While Charlotte was away, Timothy and Victoria had the audacity to return to their marital home and repeated their affairs. Timothy might have thought he was being careful by not going to Victoria's apartment, but they gave her more evidence of their betrayal by choosing their home instead. She thanked the law in Swaxon for being open to using video recordings as evidence in court. Her attorneys have carefully studied previous divorce cases in Swaxon and learned that most video recordings were allowed into evidence as long as there w
"What the -" A slap went across Timothy's face just as he exited the building of Strauss Asset Investment. His eyes widened, and his blood boiled at what Victoria had done. "How could you? I thought you loved me?" Victoria raised. She was in tears, and her body was trembling in anger. While it was already six in the evening, and most of the employees at the company had already left, the security guards and the receptionist were still around. Timothy immediately panicked. As he felt his face, he asked, "What are you talking about? And can you keep your voice down? We are in front of the office!" "Did you have yourself tested for sexually transmitted diseases? Almost every week? What makes you think I - " Victoria's words were cut off by Timothy's hand over her mouth. He pulled her closer and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Let's discuss this in the car!" Timothy dragged her to his parked car and practically shoved her inside. It was there that they had a dece
It wasn't enough that Victoria constantly tried to convince Charlotte to cancel the divorce request; Timothy was also so dramatic. When Timothy and two of his lawyers arrived, he acted like the victim of Charlotte's sudden determination to leave him. He cried and questioned, "I gave you everything, my love; a house, a penthouse, luxurious jewelry, and you want to divorce me over a mere suspicion? You won't even talk to me properly!" "I can't believe how you came prepared for this divorce, Charlotte. Four lawyers? Really? You needed a panel of lawyers?" Timothy questioned. "And you are even asking for ten million dollars in alimony?" Timothy raised his hands and said, "You broke my heart, Charlotte. How could you easily forget our vows?" Timothy turned to Victoria and pleaded, "Please, Victoria. Talk some sense into your friend." When Charlotte only rolled her eyes, Timothy's lawyer Mister Perez coldly suggested, "We will do the talking from now on, Mister Cash. I see how your wi
"Infertility?" Charlotte repeated. She was about to lash at Timothy's attorneys when Mae, the lawyer beside her, held her hand. Mae said, "Do you know that blaming Charlotte's infertility falls under mental cruelty? It emotionally harms women already suffering from their current health problems." "Under section 498A, any such kind of offense is punishable under law, and the punishment can be imprisonment of three years or more," Mae revealed. "Mister Cash, if you badly wanted to go to jail. Just say so. We can work on that." Yael sarcastically described. "Let's see. There's adultery. That's two years in prison. You may deny your involvement in drugging our client with the sleeping pills now, but if proven that you are part of it, you can go to jail for as long as fourteen years -" "You - " Timothy was about to speak, but his lawyer raised his hand. Mister Perez said, "My client reserves the right to remain silent. However, a mere sleeping pill will not fall under sexual assault
