Charlotte woke up to the sound of someone banging her door and yelling her name. She had planned to ignore the person at first but she couldn't as the person didn't give up. She groaned in frustration as she had no choice but to get out of bed and answer the person who was determined to get her out of bed. "It's so early in the morning, what do you want from me?!" Charlotte asked in anger as she opened the door. If only Charlotte had bothered to check who it was before she spoke…"It's no longer morning Charlotte, it's actually two in the afternoon," answered the calm voice of Victoria.Charlotte almost screamed in surprise and her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She no longer felt sleepy, what she felt now was fear. She had unknowingly snapped at Victoria thinking it was Sebastian who was banging on her door.Her heart fluttered as she thought of Sebastian. However, she quickly pushed him to the back of her mind as now was not the time nor the place to think of Sebastian. The
There was a knock on the door just as Charlotte's beauty team was almost done getting her ready for the party."Come in Sebastian," Charlotte said as she knew that he was the one who was knocking.The door opened and just like Charlotte had predicted, Sebastian walked in. He was already dressed for the party. Of course, he was a man after all. It had taken him only ten minutes to get ready while she wasn't done even after two hours. Victoria had ordered her team to give her a full makeover. She had a manicure and pedicure done before she started doing her makeup and that took a lot of time."I'll be done in ten minutes," Charlotte quickly said before Sebastian could say anything."You said that twenty minutes ago, what the hell is taking you so long?" Sebastian complained.'You're a guy and so you wouldn't understand. I'll be done in ten minutes. The sooner you stop disturbing me, the sooner I finish getting ready," Charlotte retorted. Sebastian sighed in resignation and walked out
“I won’t spare them if they cross their limits this time,” Sebastian said as he made his way over to where Charlotte was. “You vile woman, do you really think Sebastian really loves you?” the elderly woman spat in disgust while the rest of the women sneered in disgust. “I’m convinced he loves me,” Charlotte replied. The elderly woman scoffed at her response. “Sebastian is not capable of loving anyone. He only does things which will benefit him and this alliance is one of them. He is only marrying you because of your family background and nothing else.” “You’re right mom,” another woman whom Charlotte assumed to be the daughter of the elderly woman spoke. “I’m sure brother Sebastian just wants to take over her family company so he’ll be the most powerful person in the country. I bet you that he’ll leave you as soon as he gets what he wants.” “Say that again Malinda,” came the cold familiar voice Charlotte had been waiting for ever since she met these women. The women's faces sudd
Yes ma'am, she was poisoned. This is a police case ma'am, someone tried to kill her," the doctor clarified.This news came as a shock to everyone who was there as they couldn't understand how someone was able to poison Charlotte despite the tight security at the party."Sir, we should inform the police," the doctor suggested. He would have done so without seeking the permission of Sebastian but he decided against it as he wanted to know his opinion so as not to offend him. "There's no need for that, I'll handle it myself," Sebastian said coldly. Everyone, including the doctor, understood what he meant by that. The doctor gulped in fear as he imagined what would become of the person who was behind poisoning Charlotte."Can we see her doctor," Martha asked."Not yet ma'am, she has been moved to the intensive care unit so she can be observed. Once we are convinced she is out of danger, we move her to the VIP room where you'll be able to see her," the doctor replied.A nurse came runnin
The door to Charlotte's VIP room opened and she saw Sebastian walk in. It was a surprise to see that he was still in the hospital."Why didn't you go to the office?" Charlotte finally asked the question that had been bugging her for hours.Her mother spent hours with her in the hospital cheering her up, so did Victoria. Even though they didn't say it, Charlotte could see that they were worried for her. The wedding was in less than forty eight hours and it would be a big problem if she didn't recover before then. After spending more than eight hours with her, Charlotte managed to force them to go home as they both needed to rest. Victoria and her mother spending time with her was expected but not Sebastian. He had spent the entire day with her, leaving Diego to handle the company. This made Charlotte happy as he put her first but then a part of her didn't want to believe that Sebastian cared for her thus, the question."I wanted to stay with you," Sebastian answered. "Why?" Charl
"Sweetie, are you okay," Martha asked, her voice laced with concern as she looked at Charlotte.They were currently on their way to the Brooks Mansion as Sebastian had kept his promise and requested for her to be discharged."Yeah, I'm fine mom," Charlotte answered and continued looking out the window. The truth was that she was not fine. She hadn't seen Sebastian after he stormed out of the room in anger. He made sure to come into the room after she had fallen asleep and he left the hospital before she woke up.Charlotte sighed. She was such a big fool for bringing up the fact that they were going to go their separate ways after a year. She herself didn't want that to happen as she wanted to make the relationship work so why did she bring up the topic.She was ready to apologize to Sebastian but it seemed that he wasn't ready to talk to her as he refused to answer her calls. They were getting married in less than twenty four hours. Love or no love, it wasn't right to start a new r
Charlotte knew that Victoria and Martha planning her wedding meant that it would be a grand event but nothing prepared her for this big of an event. There were hundreds of guests sitting in the hall and all of them were significant people. Charlotte recognized a few businessmen and some political figures seated. She was not surprised to see so many important people even though she didn’t recognize half of them. After all, this was according to the media, the biggest wedding of the century. The two most powerful families’ children were getting married. Sebastian’s and Charlotte's marriage was not beneficial to them alone but also to their families. The Geranos and Brooks shares skyrocketed drastically, making both their shares the highest in the market. However, Charlotte had no business with any of that as what she was dealing with was much more important. She looked around the wedding hall and awed in wonder at the decorations. Her mother and mother in law had put a lot of ef
Sebastian glanced at the woman who was fast asleep. So many thoughts were swirling in his head as he looked at her. His eyes went down to the ring on her finger; the one he had put on her when she was about to become his wife. A lot of people were happy about Charlotte getting married to him. If only they knew what she was signing up for. A chuckle escaped from his lips at the thought of him finally being able to get revenge on Charlotte. He had waited too long and the day had finally arrived.His phone beeped and this broke his focus on Charlotte. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Amy."I'm already on the island…. When are you getting here?" The message read.A frown appeared on Sebastian's face as he read the message. He had clearly told Amy to wait for three days before coming to the island but she didn't listen to him."I told you to wait for three days… What are you doing there?" Sebastian texted back.Amy read the message immediately and the three dots on the
