Sebastian came downstairs a few minutes later and just as he had instructed, Charlotte was already waiting for him at the dining table. "What are you doing?" he asked as he took his seat. She was still on her phone. "I'm reading what people are tweeting about the fashion show and about me losing consciousness," Charlotte answered and then looked back at her phone. "Why do you care about what people are saying about you?'' Sebastian asked. He was one who didn't care about what anyone thought of him. If he did, he wouldn't have made it so far in the business world. And so he didn't understand why Charlotte wanted to know what everyone was saying. "You see, unlike in your world the people's opinion of me matters a lot. If people hate me, then I won't last long in the industry. Which company would want to use someone who is hated by the public to advertise their products?'' Charlotte asked. "Oh,'' Sebastian commented. He didn't understand the entertainment industry and how it worke
Charlotte woke up late the next morning as she had slept really late last night. She checked the time and saw that it was twelve o'clock. 'Shit!' She cursed. It was no longer morning but afternoon. She checked her phone and saw that she had six missed calls from her mother and ten from Alexia.She wondered why they called her so early in the morning. She decided to call Alexia first so she could tell her why her mother was calling her. Alexia answered the call after a few rings. "Where the hell did you put your phone? Your mom has been trying to reach you," she said. "I was asleep when she was calling me. What's up? Why did she call me?" Charlotte asked curiously. "Well, she wanted to tell you that you and Sebastian should come over for dinner tonight but no worries she has already informed Sebastian," Alexia disclosed. "What?!" Charlotte exclaimed in horror. "Why would she invite Sebastian over for dinner? Doesn't she realize that it is a terrible idea for Sebastian and Henry to
"Why are you so nervous? We're just going to meet my father,” Sebastian said, irritated, when he saw how nervous Charlotte was. They were currently in the car, on their way to Sebastian's office. Charlotte had hardly said a word from the time they left the mansion. She kept on tapping her feet and muttering inaudible words. Sebastian ignored her at first and focused on the documents he was signing. All this was something he was supposed to have done but it got delayed as he had to wait for Charlotte so they could go to the office together. But Charlotte's continuous tapping became annoying as time passed. Charlotte didn't realize that she was making him dizzy as he was following her every moment. He couldn't understand why she was acting this way. They both knew that Alexander was up to no good but that was why he was coming along so he would be able to stop it so why was she still nervous? Wasn't his presence enough to calm her down? "I'm not nervous,I'm just worried. They are t
Charlotte was surprised that Sebstian knew about her fear of Spiders. She didn't remember ever telling him about it. Even when they spoke about themselves, she simply only told him that she was afraid of enclosed space. So how then did he find out about her fear? This meant that he had her investigated. As expected! She wondered what other personal information he had found out about her. At least she had also found out many secrets about him so they were equal. 'Focus Charlotte, this is not the time to think about that,' she reminded herself and snapped out of her thoughts. She was currently in Sebastian's arms and at his mercy. The way he looked at her told her that she was in big trouble. She would never have thought that a trivial thing like Charlotte refusing to turn off the movie would land her in such a situation. "S-sebastian, p-please let me go," Charlotte stuttered. She was unable to speak properly as his intense gaze was affecting her. It was like looking into the devil
"Find him and take care of him or we both know what will happen to me if he succeeds in his plan," said Charlotte. "I won't let him succeed in his plan," Sebastian said firmly. There was no way he was going to let whoever that man was, harm Charlotte. Even though he hated her she was still going to be his wife which meant she would be a part of his family and It wouldn't do his reputation good if someone managed to harm his wife. "Sister in law, we shouldn't take any chances as we don't know who this man is and what he wants. I think we should double your guards," Diego suggested, trying to kill the tension in the room. Charlotte averted her gaze from Sebastian. "I don't want more guards, I already hate the ones I have. There's no way I'm getting more," she said firmly. She didn't care if she would be called weak for not being able to get over the trauma of her being betrayed by her bodyguard. All she knew was that she wasn't going to take Diego's suggestion. "Charlotte, those
Charlotte was ready to clap back at whatever Sebastian was about to do. She could tell he already had a plan but it was going to fail. "Do you remember making a promise to me a few minutes ago?'' Sebastian asked calmly. He already had his trunk card in his arms. There was no way he would allow Charlotte to break her promise. Her eyes widened with shock as she realized what Sebastian was about to use against her. 'Shit' she cursed inwardly. Why the hell did she make such a promise to him? 'Because you wanted to let him to let go of you,' her brain reminded her. "Hello Charlotte," Sebastian called and snapped his fingers to bring Charlotte back to reality. "You haven't answered my question yet." "I remember my promise to you Sebastian," Charlotte answered, inwardly praying that he would not use her promise against her as she would not be able to break it. "I want to use my wish right here and right now," Sebastian said, disappointing Charlotte. "You can't do this to me, Sebastia
So, what did my brother do this time?" Diego asked as soon as they were alone."How did you know that he did something," Charlotte asked in surprise as she took her seat opposite him. "I have known Sebastian all my life and I know how annoying he can be. Plus your facial expression shows how annoyed you are," Diego answered. "So, what did Sebastian do?" He asked again. "I don't want to talk about it. I'll just get more annoyed if I do," Charlotte said. "I came here to let off some steam. I hope you don't mind that I'm distracting you from your work.""Not at all sister in law. If there's anyone who understands how you're feeling, it's me," Diego answered. He knew just how controlling and annoying Sebastian could be. "I wonder how you have not killed him yet?" Charlotte grumbled. Diego laughed at her statement. She hadn't seen anything yet and she was already like this. This was only the tip of the iceberg. He was sure that Sebastian would become even more annoying once they got
"Now, let's go over this one more time," Charlotte said as they drove past the gates of the Brooks Mansion. "I already told you, I won't disrespect him if he stays in his limits," Sebastian said irritably. Ever since they left his office, Charlotte had been asking him not to do anything that would ruin the dinner to which he had given his word not to. But she kept on repeating the same thing and it was starting to irritate him. "I know but please don't.. ""Why are you only telling me not to disrespect your brother? Call up your brother and tell him not to disrespect me!" Sebastian snapped. "Alexia is already taking care of Henry," Charlotte informed as the car came to a halt. Charlotte checked the time and saw that they were right on time. She sighed in relief. At least Henry wouldn't use that to insult Sebastian. Two of the guards rushed over to the car and opened the door for her and Sebastian. "Charlotte, Sebastian, you're here," Martha cried out with joy as she came out of
