Alle Kapitel von My biggest mistake: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

David's pov I finally got everything I wanted, I can’t tell you how good it felt to feel Charlotte beneath me. I know I’m rolling the dice with my life, wagering that I can steal enough of the her before this swallows me whole. I’ve loved her from a distance successfully for years, despite watching Alex tear her apart with being unfaithful. I was battling a war within myself of wether or not I could kill him for hurting her. Yeah, I’ve battled angry seas successfully until last night.  This is a new kind of storm—the one inside me is for Charlotte. And I can't battle it anymore, I lost. Hell, I couldn’t even put up a decent fight against this.. this obsession. It swells and grows more turbulent by the minute. I’m obsessed with her soft voice, her big green eyes that feel like they stare into my soul. Her long blonde hair that feels so fucking good wrapped around my fist. The addiction is out of control now, I’ve tasted the forbidden fruit and I’ll stop a

I'd expertly avoiding anything having to do with David, staying out until he was gone for work. Not leaving my apartment while he was home and dodging his calls at every turn. I didn't need another excuse or some bullshit lie from a man trying to placate me. I could deal with the hurt and the betrayal, what I couldn't deal with was the fact that I let myself fall in love with another man who absolutely shattered my heart. I needed to start looking out for me and with that meant a new start. Alex and I communicated through lawyers, and finally settled our divorce. Leaving the marriage with everything I came in with, I wanted absolutely nothing that he had or anything that he offered to me. Starting over somewhere new with entirely no family was the hardest thing I've ever done. The last full day in Jacksonville was spent packing up my apartment and completely hiding from David. I hired a moving team and paid extra for faster progress, moving everything while h

Charlotte's POV The funeral was exceptionally beautiful, and I was just so happy to be surrounded by my family and love. I'd felt so alone over the last two years it felt good to be with them, Even in these circumstances.  Everyone was meeting back at my mothers house just to spend time together and talk about our aunt. But heading back there to the house I got this sinking feeling in my stomach, something is wrong. Something bad is about to happen. I thought I would have enough luck to get through these two weeks unscathed. Looking back, I really shouldn’t have thought that. I should have known that luck wouldn’t be on my side, not when it comes to him. That despite it being a large town, we’d run into each other at exactly the right time, in exactly the right second.That’s just how it works with us.I feel him before I see him, the former familiar sensation returning strong. I wasn’t intentionally l

David's POV  I can feel the minute she walks in to the house, my body always aware of hers. The pain that I felt in my chest for the last two years suddenly eases and everything else fades away. But the look across as her face makes me instantly regret talking Alex into coming here. I just wanted to see her and get a chance to explain what really happened when she saw Jill and I that day. Jill had come over to apologize for the way that she acted when I told her that I had wanted a divorce, but she also tried to talk me out of it. Touching me constantly and pleading with me just to give her another chance, I couldn't get her out of my apartment fast enough. Jill was my first love and I would always care about her but I just didn't love her anymore. The minute I opened the door I knew my mistake, and the way it looked and how Charlotte would interpret this. But all the preparation in the world couldn't prepare me for the gut wrenching feeling that

Charlotte's POV Alex yelling was the first thing to register after my brain started coming out of the fog. Trying to focus on what he was going on about when my mom started to rush Killian out of the room. When I finally got my heart to stop beating in my ears I caught the tail ends of what Alex was saying.  "-Do this to me? Is that your child David?" Oh, sweet Jesus. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen. The next thing to register in my brain was the fact punches were being thrown, screaming coming from every corner of the house.  Before I was aware that My body was moving I was putting myself inbetween David and Alex. I wasn't scared of getting in the middle of their fight and getting hurt. I knew it was a high possibility but it just needed to stop. They couldn't hurt each other because of me, I wouldn't allow it.  When my father and I finally pulled them apart David tried lunging at Alex again.
