“So are we going to talk about what happened in there or are we going to wait until we get home?”

We’d just arrived at the after-party that was being thrown by a musician I really respected. I didn’t want to go. My mood had already been ruined, but not attending would make me seem like a snob and I was still smoothing over my reputation so I had no choice.

I couldn’t wait to go back to New York and continue living like a hermit for the rest of the year.

  • My Ex-husband’s Regret: On his knees for me   148

    CHARLOTTE~•~Barely twenty-four hours after my lawyer filed a suit against Vanessa, my phone started buzzing nonstop.Vivian, my publicist, didn’t make my manager reveal the lawsuit, but she made sure to tip a known blogger about it and after they saw the filed case with evidence against her, the internet went crazy.That also meant everyone was calling me at once.I never told Lucy about suing Vanessa so I wasn’t surprised that she was among the hundreds of people trying to reach me at once. Even Dave was trying to get to me, making me wonder what he wanted to say. Was he going to plead for his fuck buddy?He sent a few messages but I didn’t bother checking them.Since everyone was trying to reach me at once and they couldn’t, they started trying to get to me through Alexander, then his team. I did not doubt that one had to do with Vanessa’s legal team. They were grasping for straws at this point.They most likely wanted to end the case before it probably began but I wasn’t going to

    CHARLOTTE~•~“You have such a dirty mouth during sex.”Alexander chuckled, the sound vibrating through my body. “Did you wake up this morning thinking about sex with me?” He questioned, placing a kiss on my shoulder.“Considering I can feel you poking my leg, that isn’t so absurd, is it?”He adjusted, shifting his crotch away from my body, still keeping his arms wrapped around me. “Sorry. Morning wood.” He said. “It also doesn’t help that you’re incredibly sexy every second of the day.”That brought heat to my cheeks. I couldn’t fall for his seduction, not when Nyla’s favorite part of the day was waking me up. “You can go back to your room now.”Alexander groaned. “I thought this was our room now.”“You thought wrong, babe.”“Couples usually sleep together.” He pointed.“Good thing we aren’t a couple. We’re coparenting.”“Yeah?” I could hear the smugness in his voice before he even asked the question. “How come you didn’t say anything when I called you my wife last night?”Heat crawl

    CHARLOTTE~•~The limo was waiting by the time we got outside. The driver opened the door and I got in before Alexander. I slid across the seat eagerly. The kiss we shared on the balcony was innocent, but I could feel the tension between us as we quickly exited the party.Alexander climbed in after me. The moment the door closed, we were in a world of our own. He didn’t even wait for the car to start moving. He reached for me, pulling me across the seat until I was straddling his lap.Our mouths met in a hungry kiss. This one wasn’t soft or reassuring like the one on the balcony. It was deep, urgent, and full of everything we’d been holding back all night. His hands gripped my hips, sliding up my thighs under the hem of my skirt.“Fuck, Charlotte,” he groaned against my lips. “You have no idea what you do to me.”I smiled into the kiss, my fingers threading through his hair. “I think I have some idea.”His tongue swept into my mouth as the limo started moving. But all I could focus o

    CHARLOTTE~•~“So are we going to talk about what happened in there or are we going to wait until we get home?”We’d just arrived at the after-party that was being thrown by a musician I really respected. I didn’t want to go. My mood had already been ruined, but not attending would make me seem like a snob and I was still smoothing over my reputation so I had no choice.I couldn’t wait to go back to New York and continue living like a hermit for the rest of the year.“How about we greet a few people first?” I offered. “We can stay for thirty minutes then leave or talk. Your choice.”Alexander stared down at me. “I know you didn’t do anything with him,” he clarified. “I saw Vanessa leave so all three of you were there together. I’m just curious and well, concerned.”I didn’t for a second think he suspected of… fooling around with Dave. I just didn’t know how to bring up the topic. Alexander had basically implied that Dave abandoned me back then because of what I’d been going through. I

    CHARLOTTE~•~I’d wanted to talk to Dave about our breakup that he’d disguised as a break, but not like this. I wanted to do it sometime when the two of us were alone, when there wasn’t another woman, and definitely not when we were in the ladies’ restroom.Now, however, I didn’t even want to be around him anymore. Nothing had ever been serious between us and he didn’t owe me any explanation. I relayed that to him immediately. “You don’t need to explain,” I said, not stopping even for a second.But Dave thought this was the perfect time to talk so he placed a hand on my arm and dragged me back.“You’re going to make a scene.” I hissed.Thankfully, there was no media coverage of the inside of the event. “I just—“ he sounded helpless. As if he hadn’t been advocating for Vanessa less than an hour ago, asking me why I was rude to her. “Please let me explain.”I looked at the door. If I took three more steps, I could open it and go out to meet Alexander, but the thing with Dave was going

    CHARLOTTE~•~My head automatically drew back at the revelation. “He left the party with you?”She pursed her lips and as if she wanted to emphasize it even more or rub it in, she said. “So if you don’t know that we fucked that night, why are you catching an attitude with me?”“An attitude, you— oh my god, this conversation is ridiculous.” I wanted to tell her that I’d prefer not to see her face at all. I wanted to tell her that I hadn’t forgotten about all the vile things she paid people to write about me. I wanted to tell her about the upcoming lawsuit, but my lawyer thought it was best to catch her off guard. Alexander’s lawyer too.But I was also still trying to wrap my head around the fact that she’d slept with Dave on the night of her party. And he still asked me out a week after that.I mean, I did sleep with Alexander that night as well, but I didn’t try to make Dave my boyfriend merely a week later. Did he even like me? Did he only ask me out of guilt? Was that why it was so

    CHARLOTTE~•~Promotions were stressful. Two weeks after the premiere, we were always in one interview or another. The movie officially dropped a week ago, which meant we had to continue building hype around it by answering questions about our personal lives.Well, I didn’t mind answering question

    ALEXANDER~•~“Sir, you have a visitor,” my secretary informed me through the telephone.“Who?” I asked absentmindedly, focused on the work in front of me.“Uhh…” she hesitated. “Briella.”I paused and let out a breath. “I’m busy.”“She said it’s very important.”I sighed. Did I really need to get

    CHARLOTTE~•~“You know, there’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask you,” Dave said as we finished our burgers.I picked at my fries, staring at him. “Go on,” I prompted, even if I wasn’t entirely sure whether or not I wanted to ask this question.“Do you hate me?”I blinked, then laughed, taken a

    ALEXANDER~•~I almost didn’t go.I sat in my car outside my parents’ house for a full five minutes, engine still running, staring at the front door like I was about to walk into war. I really didn’t want to be there, but I’d promised Leah already and I didn’t want my mom more worried than she alre
