Edward’s pov

“I wanted to,” she replied quickly.

I sighed and shook my head. “Why don’t you go back to your house?”

“Why? I can stay with you here.”

“You can’t stay here with me forever you know.”

“At least until you get better.”

“Charlotte,” I sighed. “I don’t want to argue.”

“Then don’t,” she sighed. “I’m not disturbing anyone so just let me stay.”

I got up slowly and said, “Anyway, yeah, I don’t care what you do.”

She smiled like she’d just won. “Thanks.”

I didn’t respond. I left her in the living room and went to my room as I shut the door in anger.

I lay in bed and closed my eyes for a minute.

My head ached but I rubbed my eyes to calm myself.

I was so sick of everything.

I walked over to the bed and sat down. That’s when my phone began to ring.

I looked at the screen. It was my co-worker, Andrew.

I sighed and answered the phone.

“Edward,” the voice said clearly over the phone.

“Yes Andrew,” I replied.

“Hope I’m not interrupting anything,” he said.

“Depends on what you’ve got goi

  • Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 47

    Eloise’s povThat morning, while I drove Selena to school, my mind buzzed around the call I had had yesterday with Bryan.What did he want me at the office for? As much as I was supposed to start working for them, I still had to think of my mental health at this point.I waved her off and drove away to the office.I soon got to the office and entered the building as my assistant Sandra welcomed me.“Mr Bryan needs you there with him,” she said as I nodded.“I’ll be there with him. Anything else?” I asked as she shook her head. “Nothing else,” she said. “How are you holding up?”“I’m okay,” was all I could say as she nodded.We entered the slick, glass-walled boardroom, my heels clicking against the polished floor. The AC was on cold, but not as cold as the stare I shot at the man sitting arrogantly at the head of the table—Edward.Bryan stood beside him holding a file like he always did when we had to meet, avoiding eye contact with me.“Miss Camille,” Bryan said formally, “please h

    Edward’s povI watched from behind the glass as they rushed around, giving orders to revive my father.All I could do was try my best not to cry. I had thought of this day but to imagine my father dying still hurt me.I folded my arms and watched with my eyes stinging and the tears fighting to flow out.“Clear!” one of the doctors shouted as the defibrillator pads touched his chest and his body jerked.They tried it once and then twice but nothing. I closed my eyes as they tried it a third time before a shrill line broke through and then I heard a beep sound in a steady rhythm.I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding back as the room was filled with excitement with doctors congratulating themselves.I opened the door to get in as the doctor nodded at me to signal that everything was okay.“Mr. Edward,” one of the doctors said. “We need to talk. Please, come with me.”I nodded and followed him as we walked to his office.“Sit,” he said as he rounded his desk but I shook my hea

    Edward’s povI watched the accident before me almost happen as I wanted to jump in to save them. But then George held me back.“The security has it under control,” he said as I looked at the car before me. The driver recovered quickly and drove away as I heard my name from the car.“Who did you give your middle name to?” He laughed as I stared after the moving car.“A special someone,” I said with something fluttering in my chest.I looked at him and nodded. “Let’s go,” I said as he nodded and we walked away.I soon finished with the school and its meetings, which, to be honest, were boring me to death, and headed home.The moment I got out of the car, Bryan appeared like he had been waiting for me. He bowed, and my eyes immediately shot to the files in his hands.“Can we do this later?” I asked. “I can’t keep this up. I need rest.”“Certainly sir. I’ll push your schedule for later.”I nodded and walked with him as we entered the house. My butler got me a drink of water as I gulped

    Edward’s povI stared at the little girl and chuckled a bit.“Timothy,” I smiled, reaching to shake her. Timothy was my middle name. There was no need to give this little girl my main name anyway. I barely used Timothy except for strangers I didn’t want to know about me. “Selena, huh. That’s a very nice name.”“Thank you,” she smiled as she looked at the biscuits and handed me one. “You look sad. Why don’t you… You eat my biscuits?”I smiled and shook my head. “No. It’s yours.”Hearing her talk like that in her cute little voice made me smile. She was really good with her words. Clear too.I spoke with her for a few minutes and got something out of her. From what I could tell, she was really smart and very clever.I had met with a few three to four-year-olds and she was the smartest one I had encountered. If not for how small she looked, one could mistake her for a seven or even eight-year-old. And a smart one at that.Now I was intrigued to know the parents of this child.“Where are

    Edward’s povI sat in my office drinking a bottle of one of my expensive drinks when the door opened after a quick knock.It was a board member.“What do you want?” I swirled my drink as the ice fell apart in the glass.“I’m here to see if you are still showing up for the board meeting,” he said as I groaned and shook my head.This was frustrating. Knowing that I had to deal with him as a person right now.“How about we deal with this later?” I said with a small smile.“As much as I would love to let you stay here and relax, we have so many things to do. We can’t just let this go. We need you for the meeting so that we can discuss the next step to take. We have to meet some investors who would love to step into our company. We need to check the staff and maybe hire more. This is a seven-star hotel. It needs the best of the best. We can’t do anything without investors.”I dropped my cup on the table with a bang as some amber liquid splashed out on the leather top.I was so mad I could

    Eloise’s povThe moment the door closed, I started to pack up my things.“Where are you going?” Sandra asked as I looked at her.“Out of here.”“Why?” She asked. “Did anything happen? Did he threaten you?”“You can drop the act now Sandra,” I said with a stern voice. “I know you all are in on this. It’s Edward. I know him. You all work for him so it means you all are in on his plan to make it look like he didn’t hire you all to make me feel cozy and let down my guard while he slithers in to try to cut me down.”She looked confused. “What are you talking about? Did you know Sir Edward before?”I sighed. I didn’t know whether to believe that he was genuinely confused or if she was playing me this whole time.All I knew was that I needed to be out here and be on my way home. I had to call my lawyer.She needed to help me understand what was going on. It was that or I was screwed. I wasn’t going to be screwed for any reason.Picking up my bag, I looked at a confused Sandra. “I have to get
