Sebastian unlocked the door and opened it. And there she was lying unconscious on the floor. His usually cold face became soft and filled with fear and concern seeing her in such a state. "Charlotte," Sebastian called as he rushed over to where she was lying and held her in his arms. Henry also rushed to his sister. His eyes widened in shock as soon as he saw the state she was in. 'This is not good!' He muttered under his breath. Being in such an enclosed space must have triggered a panic attack. He quickly brought out his phone and left the closet. "Charlotte please wake up," he begged as he shook her gently trying to get her to open her eyes. However, Charlotte didn't even stir let alone open her eyes. Sebastian quickly grabbed her hand and checked her pulse. It was really weak. "Shit!" Sebastian cursed. He turned back and looked at Henry who was on a phone call. "Her pulse is very weak," he informed. "Charlotte please open your eyes," he pleaded with desperation. He then to
“Is there a problem with that?” Sebastian asked when he saw the frown on Charlotte’s face. Why was she frowning? Wasn’t she supposed to be happy that he had stayed with her all night? “There was no need for you to stay with me. You should have just gone home,” Charlotte scolded. She hated being a burden to someone and that was one of the reasons she moved out of her family house. She didn’t want her family to go through the trouble of having to take care of her whenever she had a panic attack. Sebastian was someone who valued his time and plus she wasn’t an important person in his life. He only stayed with her out of compulsion and not because he wanted to and that in his world was a huge burden to him. “You were lying unconscious when I found you and brought you to the hospital. Did you really think I would leave you here and go home?” Sebastian asked, annoyance clearly evident in his voice. “You should have. I don’t want to hear any complaints from you later on saying I wast
Charlotte and Victoria arrived at the Gerano mansion an hour after they had left the hospital. They would have gotten home sooner if it wasn't for the media. They had somehow managed to find out the hospital she was treated at. They would have fallen straight into the hands of the reporters and paparazzi if it was not for Jonathan's timely intervention.He had stopped them before they could leave the hospital and directed them to the back entrance of the hospital and that was where they left. They were greeted at the entrance by Diana and some other helpers. "Is Sebastian at home?" Victoria asked. "No ma'am, sir hasn't come home yet," Diana answered. Victoria sighed and shook her head. It was already six o'clock and Sebastian had still not yet left the office. He worked way too much for someone who was the head of the company. She could only hope that he would stop this habit when he finally got married to Charlotte. "I'm sorry Sebastian isn't here to welcome you," She apolog
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
