Charlie

“What happened?” I ask Nortica when she returns to the terrace in a huff.

She had been gone for so long that I was beginning to wonder if she had bailed on me. I was just about to go searching for her.

“Dimity happened,” she says matter-of-factly, oozing anger as she works herself up. “She saw me go into the bathroom, then waited near the basins for me to come out so she could fill me in on who you really are.”

Fuck! I thought I had this contained and under control. I didn't anticipat

    CharlieI hit the bedroom floor with an almighty thud that radiated pain through the left side of my body. The room is spinning, and it takes me a bit to realise I'm not in my own bedroom. I don't even remember falling asleep last night and as I stagger to my feet and see the now-empty bottle of whisky, on the nightstand I realise I must have passed out. Great choice Charlie, let's drink to forget her. I can't forget her though, no matter how much alcohol I consume. She's still at the forefront of my mind. Her breathtaking smile, her sweet laugh, and even her scent all haunt me. I came to the Gold Coast to escape her, to reset after her rejection but running away has done nothing to erase her from my memories. It's been a week and I still see her clearly when her image floods my mind. I considered returning to who I was before she entered my life. The guy who would go to a bar and easily pick up. It would have been a simple remedy but I know it would never have cured me completely

  • My Billionaire Boss’ Dirty Secret   53

    I used to look forward to Monday. Even though I'd spend all weekend with Charlie, I would be excited to get to work alongside him. We’d sneak kisses when nobody was watching or make excuses just to schedule meetings together. He made work a place I loved but now it was my worst nightmare. My stomach was churning as I pulled into the parking garage. Tess told me, many times yesterday, that I should quit without notice but I can't. I have bills that need to be paid. I also feared that any prospective employer would contact Charlie for a reference, given that this has been my only full-time job. I can't risk him tarnishing my reputation within the industry just to exact revenge for breaking up with him. I'm trapped at More until I die or until I figure out how to escape unscathed. I had no idea what I was going to say to my co-workers. They picked up that we were dating so I had no doubt that they'll notice we’re over. Everyone here loves Charlie, he’s considered to be an amazing bos

    My fingers were wrapped snuggly around the paper takeaway cup, the warmth of the coffee inside keeping me from crashing out. It felt like every minute was a struggle, I just had to push myself through it. My head and my heart were at war. My head was telling me to stay strong, to fight off the feelings I have, knowing it will get better but my heart is aching, convincing me that only he can take this pain away. Then I remind myself that he cheated on me with the dragon. There's no coming back from that. “Thank you for the coffee,” I say to Benji, after finally taking my first sip. The warm liquid does little to cure my heartache but it may help wake me up a bit so that I can process. “I knew you'd need something strong after the night you had,” he replies, watching me from across the table like I'm fragile, threatening to break apart again. His small act of kindness is the one small light of joy in my shitty day. I just hate that he had to see Charlie and me at our worst. “I’m s

    Charlie It was as if a punch to the gut had winded me. She wishes she'd never met me? I knew that keeping the secret about sleeping with Francesca was bad but to completely write us off over it? “What the fuck, Nortica? You seriously want to erase our relationship because I slept with someone two years before I even met you?” Surely she can see how irrational she's being. The guilt I had been wrestling with is slowly morphing into anger. I thought we were strong, that we’d get through this but now I know she just wants to not only end us but wipe our entire relationship. “You really expect me to believe you did fuck her again the day she came to the office?” She lets the accusation fly and becomes clearer about why she's so hung up on this. “I hate Francesca, why would I have slept with her during our meeting?” I point out. The thought alone makes me want to vomit. “Don’t lie to me Charlie, I know you fucked her to save your company,” she says, so calmly. I think I preferred

    The water in the shower had gone cold, but I was too numb to get up off the floor and shut it off. Instead, I sat on the tiled floor, empty inside. I don't remember hearing Tess barge through the bathroom door, or the water getting turned off. I don't even recall her wrapping a towel around me and helping me walk from the bathroom to my bedroom. I know that she dressed me and lay in my bed, holding me as I sobbed uncontrollably. Time passed by but everything stood still. I kept going over our entire relationship in my head, taking it right back to where it had begun. I’m a smart woman yet I ignored all the red flags he boldly waved in my face. “I'm not boyfriend material,” that's what he had stated early on and I just didn't listen. The only time he had been honest and I ploughed right past it, thinking I could be the one. I believed I was special, the one woman who he wanted to commit to but now I know, it was all a lie. My exhaustion must have won out just before dawn but I wa

    Acid, milky liquid burned my throat as it expelled from my mouth into the gutter out the front of Shenanigans. I was aware that Charlie was holding my hair and rubbing his hand over my back. I wanted to scream at him to get the fuck away from me, but every time I tried, my words came out as vomit. “Let it out baby, let it all out,” he consoles me, his voice smooth and comforting but it feels like a razor-sharp knife, slashing at my heart. I had drunk a fair bit tonight but my intoxication didn’t cause my vomit. My lying, cheating, piece of shit boyfriend literally makes me sick. “Get away from me,” I finally managed to scream, once the waterfall stopped flowing. My face is soaked with tears and my hands feel clammy. I turn and look at him, wanting him to see what his deception has done to me. “Let's just go to my office and we can talk about this,” he suggests but I shake my head. He thinks he can charm his way out of the hole he dug himself into but not this time. I look past h

    I was never really that great at keeping secrets. Even at Christmas there's been times when I accidentally tell someone what I bought for them. I don't mean to spoil the surprise, it's just that I get too excited and it bursts out. This time though, I knew I'd have to hold my secret in or it would

    Charlie“Good morning Mr Elemore, Miss Sterlington is waiting for you in the boardroom,” My receptionist, Cassandra, greeted me when I entered the building on Tuesday. Of course, Francesca would arrive early, leaving me little time to prepare. It didn't help that I'd been up til the early hours wi

    “Good morning Nortica,” Charlie greeted me at the elevator on Monday morning, keeping his tone professional in front of Cassandra. “Good morning, Charlie,” I reply, matching his professionalism. I swipe my sign-in pass and press the up button to call the elevator. “How was your weekend?”“It was s
