With silent music and words not said, Carter sat on the balcony with a bottle of whiskey, on the floor were empty bottles he had consumed through the night. His eyes were red from tears that wouldn't flow, his heart choking with pain, for him, this felt more painful than when she left. When she left him years ago, somehow, he just knew that she would come back but this time she was pregnant with another man and was getting married to him, there was no way she was ever going to be his again. As he drank constantly hoping that it Would fill the empty nest he felt, nothing reversed, he felt so miserable that it made him drink more. He was in pain, so much pain that he couldn't let out, but he knew that someone had to pay for the pain he felt. **** Audrey held onto her blanket after throwing up consistently, she was alone and sad under the cold night, she could recall vividly when she was in her first trimester with Mona, Carter made sure she was comfortable in the discomfort of th
Audrey hurried out of the company before she was seen by anyone, and once she was inside her car, she broke down in tears. The car suddenly opened as James stepped in and took the seat next to her. “ Why did you come if you didn't dare to tell him? ”. James asked, his gaze fixed on his front. “ James? What are you doing? ”.“ I just wanted to know how you were feeling and I was right, not doing here”.“ How is Mona, did she say anything last night, was she angry”.“ She wasn't angry, she was sad because she thought that you wouldn't want to see her again since you are having your child, you just have to let her know that she will always be your little girl”.Audrey nodded her head as she slowly wiped the tears that filled her face. “ Thank you so much James, I guess you are the only person who doesn't hate me”.“ Why will I hate you, you did nothing wrong, we all know that this child doesn't belong to Oliver, you hate his guts so much to even let him touch you”.“ Thanks, James, I
Audrey could feel the pain clutching her chest while she got away from the bed trying not to let Carter see her face that was filled with tears. But she was his wife, the only woman he has ever loved and although she said a few words, he could see right through her. They had just finished making love after he took her to an abandoned house to stop her from being killed by those gunmen trailing her. Carter trailed behind her to the window where she stood clutching the blanket firmly to her bare chest. He placed a soft kiss on her bare back causing her to shudder as she felt that warmth she had longed for six years. “ Carter… Please… Stop” her voice broke while her heart shattered into tiny pieces, after all these years, she thought that she was stronger. And could withstand anything that had to do with Carter, but just a few kisses from him got her whimpering in his arm a few hours ago. But all it took him to get her to bed was just a kiss, he still had so much effect on her, and
“ We worked together for five years after you forced me to come out of mourning, what does it have to do with anything? ”. Kyle inquired although he knew how persistent Audrey could be when she needs things to go her way. “ It has to do with everything, we've worked together for five and have I failed you just once”.“ No! But Audrey this isn't about me, it's the board members who are funding this project, you are trying to go head in with Colton fashion and believe me, Audrey, with just one blow from Carter Colton, we will be sent back to the ground”.“ I lived with that man for a year and a half, I can do it like, you just need to convince the board to approve of the project”.“ Fine, but first you need to get back to J. and J as agreed, we need to merge stronger in other to enter the fashion market”.“ I will get that done by the end of this week”.“ Good! Call me when it is done, for now, I need to get back to work”.“ Alright, thanks Kyle! ”. Audrey exclaims as she watches him
After hurrying back to her room, she got dressed, powdered her face as she grabs her car key, and exits her apartment while Oliver follows behind her. “ Alright I am sorry! Look I know how much you want to see and be with her, but Cornell went through so much to keep her away from you, do you think that he is going to sit idle about these”.“ He only gets to find out if you tell him about it”. Audrey expresses as she presses the button on her car key, causing it to make a beep sound. “ Do you believe what you just said Audrey? That man is very dangerous and have you tailed twelve hours a day, if he is silent about this, then that is because he has a plan”.“ Why do I have to go through so much just because my dad made a mistake, I am so sick and tired of his mind games, I want to be free”. Audrey tries sniffing the tears back in, but he grabs her head, pressing them gently to his chest. “ I understand how you feel, you were doing great while we were still in Paris, this place is t
Chloe just got out of work when she went straight to Carter's office but was told that he had gone for a business dinner at CRAVE IN with the CEO of Mona's empire. Curious about who the CEO might be, she decided to go over there and see for herself. Chloe was escorted to the VIP floor because she had been seen several times with the boss and concluded that she was an important person to him, so they did not hesitate in giving out the information about Carter's whereabouts. James saw her going inside the hall where Carter and Audrey were having a meeting, he quickly rushed over in an attempt to stop her. “ I am sorry, but you can't go in! ”. He stood before her, preventing her from taking any step further. “ Are you stupid, who do you think you are to stop me”?“ He is in an important meeting right now, you can wait for him, but I am sorry you can't go in”.“ Mona or whoever she is, why will he be having a meeting with her”.“ you can speak to him about it after the meeting, but p
Audrey steps out of the hall with Jason trailing behind while carrying multiple files, and right in front of them stood Oliver. “ How did it go? ”. His lips widened in a smile as he spoke. “ I knew it wasn't going to be easy convincing several grown-up men and women to give out huge some money while little return was expected”.“ And yet, you are Audrey Jayden, there isn't anything difficult for you” Seeing how exhausted she looked, he gently patted her back. “ Did they accept your proposal? ”.“ They did not accept, neither did they reject it, but I know they are going to come around, I intend to break out the news of merging Mona empire with J. and. J the same day we will be launching our latest collection”.“That's impressive, I do not regret investing a dime in Mona Empire”.“ Thanks, Oliver, I may not say it, but I am grateful for everything you've done for me”.“ I know, let's have lunch”.“ Sure, I will just wrap up a few things, and then we can head out”. He chuckled slig
“Goodbye Audrey, I thought that I could still make you see reason, but I guess it was all my imagination, I will get the divorce papers delivered to your office tomorrow”. Audrey could no longer hide the tears as she watched him walk away, it took her every ounce of energy to not run to him. She fell right there as she broke into tears, for her, it felt like slashing out her heart over and over again. The door clicks open with Oliver coming out and rushing out to her. “ What did he do to you, I told you that this place was toxic for you”.“ Let go of me! ”. She screamed at the top of her voice before storming inside the house. Oliver sighs as he follows her behind. “ I do not know what he said to you, but can't you see that he is trying to get under your skin”.“ Why can't I be happy, I did absolutely nothing wrong, this was all my father's sin, why do I have to pay for it ”.“ I understand how you feel, but I am here for you Audrey, let me fill that space in your heart”.He grab
