"Brother, are you okay?" Diego asked in shock. He wasn't sure that the person sitting in front of him was his brother. The cold Sebastian he knew would never say such words so easily. Something terrible must have happened to Sebastian and that was why he was behaving this way. "Where are you here?! Sebastian asked coldly, ignoring Diego's question. "I came here to invite my sister in law to lunch but I didn't see her in your office and that's why I came into your private room." Diego explained and averted his eyes as his heart couldn't bear to see another moment of Sebastian and Charlotte getting all lovey- dovey. "Hmmm," was Sebastian's reply. He loosened his grip on Charlotte. She quickly jumped out of Sebastian's laps. "You said you haven't had lunch. Come, let's go and have lunch," Sebastian said. "No!" Charlotte refused sharply. "I have a lot of things to do at the office," she lied. "What office?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows questioningly as his lips broke into a misc
"What took you guys so long?!" Charlotte asked irritably. She had been waiting outside Sebastian's office for over five minutes. "I'm sorry sister-in- law, Sebastian was the one who delayed us," Diego quickly said, shifting the blame onto his brother."What were you doing in there?" Charlotte asked suspiciously."He was checking the internet for what you like to eat sister in law," Diego revealed with a huge grin plastered across his lips , hoping that Charlotte would do something to Sebastian. His brother had been a tyrant for too long. He needed to be taught a lesson for all the terrible things he had done to him and Charlotte seemed to be the perfect person for the job as unlike everyone else, she wasn't afraid of Sebastian. She was the first woman he saw who had the guts to threaten his brother and what amused Diego was the fact that his brother got intimidated by her threat. Something that had never happened before. He liked Charlotte more than ever. Sebastian swore to k
"Why is there no one here?" Charlotte asked as she was shocked to see the restaurant empty. It was always crowded with hungry customers every time she came here. So where was everyone? "I booked the entire restaurant," Sebastian answered as he looked around the restaurant. However, Sebastian didn't think it was fit to be called a restaurant. His closet was bigger than this place. 'I wonder what she sees here,' Sebastian said to himself. Charlotte was the weirdest celebrity he had ever met. She didn't act like the rest of her kind. Even though he hated her, he had to admit that he liked that about her. She was a simple person. "What?!" Charlotte exclaimed in shock. She wasn't sure she heard right. Did Sebastian just say that he booked the entire restaurant for the three of them? "Why did you book the entire restaurant when it is only the three of us having lunch, " Charlotte asked in confusion. "I booked the restaurant so I could have some peace and quiet while I
"Where did you go after you ran away from home?" Diego asked with curiosity. "I went to one of my family hotels. It was along the way that I found this place. I was starving and desperate to eat anything and that was the reason I came in here. I would have never looked at this place if I wasn't desperate," Charlotte replied.Sebastian finally understood why Henry didn't make his sister's disappearance public. Even though she ran away, she was still safe as she was in one of his hotels and no normal person would have dared to harm her there. "Wow sister in law, I would have never imagined that you were once a…" Diego paused abruptly as Sebastian shot him a deadly glare. One that was threatening to kill him if he completed what he was going to say. "A spoiled brat," Charlotte said, completing Diego's words. "Why did you stop your brother? He wasn't going to say anything wrong" She said to Sebastian as she noticed the glare he gave which made Diego stop talking. "I was once a spoile
"I said sit!" Henry repeated firmly as Charlotte did not move from where she was standing. "I won't say it again." Charlotte didn't want to upset her brother further and so, she walked over to the couch and sat beside him. Henry didn't say anything for a while. He just stared at Charlotte and his intense gaze made her shift uncomfortably in her seat. "Stop staring at me like that, it's making me uncomfortable" Charlotte grumbled when she couldn't bear it again. Henry very well knew how terrifying he looked right now and the effect it was having on his sister but he couldn't help it as that was how he was feeling. "Did you agree to get married to Sebastian Gerano?" Henry asked curiously. Charlotte meeting Sebastian meant that she had taken his advice and spoken to him. He had given her that advice so that she could see for herself how arrogant and self-centered Sebastian was. Henry knew that Charlotte hated arrogant men and there was no way Charlotte would agree to marry Sebastia
Charlotte's phone beeped while she was watching a movie with Henry. After their conversation, she asked him to stay for a while as it had been a while since she spent some alone time with him due to the fact that they were always so busy with their work. Henry immediately agreed as he also missed spending time with his sister. They decided to watch a movie and as they were in the middle of the movie was when Charlotte received a message from an unknown number.'That's strange,' she muttered to herself. Apart from her family and manager, no one else has her personal number and she was sure that Henry had put protective measures in place to ensure that no one could get her number without permission. Therefore, the person who texted her must be a very powerful person but there was no family as powerful as hers except... the Geranos.She did waste any more time and clicked on the message and her guess was right. Her mood immediately changed as she read the message. "What d
"Sebastian, you're finally here," Victoria cried out with joy as he ran over to welcome him. "Hey mom," Sebastian greeted as he pulled his mother in for a hug. He hadn't hugged her in a while. He missed the warmth feeling that came from hugging his mother. There were so many emotions attached to the hug. She was the most important woman in his life. The one who had always been there for him and taken care of him. It pierced his heart as he knew he was about to betray her by marrying Charlotte. He knew his mother would never approve of the contract he had made with Charlotte. She had taught him that marriage was a lifetime commitment and that one should never make a mockery of it. 'I'm sorry mom,' Sebastian apologized inwardly. He didn't want to go against her and her teachings but he had no choice. Victoria was beyond elated to see that Sebastian had come home. He was hardly around and this was due to the pressure of him running the entire Gerano empire.She had been waiting
Charlotte arrived at the Gerano mansion twenty minutes after she left her house. She got out of the car and saw a helper was already waiting outside the mansion for her. The maid welcomed her and took her into the mansion. As they got closer to the dining room where the family was, she heard Sebastian’s voice. Her insides flipped with joy. She had prayed for Sebastian to be present at the dinner and her prayers got answered. The helper didn't enter the dining room with her. She simply directed her to the room and left quickly. Charlotte noticed that the helper was nervous. She wondered why. Her question was answered the moment she entered the room. The atmosphere in the room was so tense that no one noticed that she had entered the room. She would have never imagined what she saw in front of her. Sebastian and his father were glaring at each other. Even though Sebastian didn't have an expression on his face, she could still tell from his eyes that he was looking at his father with
