It was the weekend, Grandma Nana had invited Carter and Chloe over to the family house for marriage preparations. Chloe made sure to glam up in a silk flowy fabric that was above her knee, the color pattern mixed with pink and black that suited her color. Her legs were finely covered in black stylish heels that matched her purse, coupled with gold accessories. While Carter on the other hand who was reluctant to go for this meeting decided to go with a casual shirt and plain trousers, the only accessory he had on was his wrist watch and a frown occupied his entire face. James took the wheel while Carter and Chloe, who were both in a bad mood occupied the back seat. “ Don't you have something to say to me? ”. Chloe finally spoke after minutes of silence. “ Something like what? ”.“ Like your actions yesterday”.“ Look Chloe, I have nothing to say to you, but if you do, then you can go ahead and say it”.“ I am your fiance and yet I have to force you to touch me, am I not attractiv
Carter saw that Audrey ultimately came to a halt, and was now smiling knowing that he got her. Audrey stood there not sure of what she should say or do, she knew that he was going to stop her from meeting with Mona, but that was the only happiness left in her life, and Audrey wasn't ready to lose it. “ you can't stop me from seeing her, she is my daughter”.“ I don't intend to stop you from seeing your daughter, neither am I here to fight with you, I just need some rest”.“ What! ” Audrey opens her mouth to speak but no word came out of her mouth as she watches Carter goes into the bathroom. “ what do you need me here for”.“ You do not have to say a word, just stay with me tonight please”. His voice was calm and it had so much effect on her. She walks over to the couch and sits down as she sighs. “ Would you like to join me for a shower? ”. He spoke from over the bathroom. “ Thanks, I am fine”. The room became dead silent except for the sound of the shower which also stopped a
“ Are you expecting someone? ”. Audrey asks after consistent banging at the door. “ No, stay here I will go over and check”. She nods her head while trying not to look nervous. Carter strides over to the door, he peeped through the door and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Liam. “ Liam, what are you doing here? ”. Carter asks as he opens the door, but notices the look of things “ Liam what is going on, why do you look tense? ”.“ Check your phone”. Liam replies and steps inside before shirt the door behind him. “ Liam Hi! ”. Audrey comes out of the dining room and noticed the tension between the both of them. “ I am sorry Audrey, but I have to go now, something just came up”. Before Audrey could say a word, he picks up his coat on the couch and headed out together with Liam. Audrey rushed back to the bedroom to get her phone and could now see the news flocking on the internet. ‘ Colton Fashion sued to court by three different companies for fraud after elicitin
After the call Audrey made with Kyle, she went back home, took a quick shower, and got dressed in an elegant jumpsuit that hugs her figure while tastefully highlighting her curves. The jumpsuit was one of Audrey's favorites because it was personally designed by herself with luxury silk; she had barely applied any makeup when she received an email from Kyle. He had booked her the next flight to Florida under a different name, and all she had to do was get there on time and pick up her passport. “ Kyle is indeed resourceful”. She mumbled before picking up her bag that had a few clothes in them, toiletries, sanitary pads, and some skin care products just in case she had to spend the night there. She wasn't sure how her visit there would be, but she was ready to face whatever that was waiting for her head-onThe flight from New York down to Florida was two hours, and Audrey was so anxious that she went straight to the company. The manager immediately hurried outside the moment he saw
“ You know Chloe is right, when are you getting her arrested, we have all the evidence of her involvement, what is stopping us? ”.Liam finally asked when he was sure that Carter was more relaxed. “ We are not arresting Audrey! ”.“ Why? ”.“ Liam, that woman is my wife, I am fully aware of what she is capable of, and Although all evidence points to her, Audrey has involvement whatsoever in what occurred”.“ You believed her, indeed she has placed a hex on you that you do not dare see anything wrong in all of her deeds”.“ Audrey hurt me badly when she abandoned me and our child, but she will never do such a stunt because she knows she also has something to lose? ”.“ And what is that? ”.“ J. and J, she only got married to me in the beginning because she badly wanted that company back, and she understands that since no official statement has been made, J. and J will go down along with Colton fashion, she is a smart woman, she won't use such dirty tricks”.“ So, what do you intend to
Audrey arrived back home with her eyes filled with tears, she had seen the look on his face when he asked her not to meet with Mona again, he never looked at her like that, and she knew that he meant it. She fell on the floor and clutched her chest as if trying to hold the shattered pieces of her heart together, a stream of tears flowed through her eyes and she felt that her eyes would pull out from excessive crying. Audrey cried for such a long time that she did not realize when she drifted to a deep slumber and was only woken by the sound of the doorbell. Pulling herself up from the floor, she struts over to the door, the moment she opened the door, her pain was replaced with anger. “ Audrey hi! ”. Oliver spoke, stepping inside, and was welcomed with a loud slap on his cheek. He immediately held his cheek, feeling it sore. “ How dare you! How dare you, Oliver, did this to me”.“ You are in pain, I do not know what is going on, but you have to calm down! ”.“ Oliver, look me i
Stepping away from the hall after the meeting, Audrey was accompanied by Kyle, his face filled with a smile. “ I knew that I never backed the wrong horse, congratulations to you”.“ Thanks, Kyle, but there is nothing to celebrate yet, we still have a long way to go”.“ I know, but you have come very far on your own, cut yourself some slack”.“ And none of it would have been possible without you, thank you so much, Kyle, for everything”.“ How are things with you and Oliver? ”. Her face instantly coils into a scowl, they both stop in front of her office, and she ushers him inside. “ He doubts that what he did was wrong”.“ And Carter, does he still believe that you were involved? ”.“ He is threatening to file a restriction order against me towards Mona, and yet, she was here this morning without his notice”.“ She has grown fond of you, although she isn't aware that you are her mother, the bond still draws her close, indeed blood is thick”.“ It is so hard staying away from her, I
The two men both stood there for a while in silence, not sure what to say to each other. Kyle walks over to the vending machine and gets two sodas. They are both seated on the bench in the reception area, the surrounding air still calm. “ How is she doing? ” Carter finally broke the silence. “ She is fine, the doctors were able to extricate the bullet from her arm, she just needs some rest”.“ That is a relief, you must be close to her? ”.“ Yes, she is a stubborn and persistent one who forced me out of mourning, she stayed at my place for six years in Paris”.“ I see…. ”“ She told me what had transpired between the both of you, you are a smart man and I know for certain that you are aware she is not responsible for what happened to her company”.“ I am aware of that”.“ Then why did you treat her so cruelly? ”.“ It was for her safety, so much is in play here which I think that you, Mr. Saltzman, are aware of some of it, I have to protect her the best way I know how to, even if
