It was around twelve midnight and Victoria and Alexander were already asleep when someone suddenly started banging on their door. Alexander got up in anger ready to fire whoever it was that was disturbing his wife’s sleep. He opened the door and was ready to lash out but he stopped when he saw Diego at his door. He sighed and shook his head as he thought it was one of those times Diego barged into the room demanding for his mother’s attention. On noticing the look on Diego's face, Victoria got out of bed and walked towards him. “What’s wrong honey,” she asked, her voice filled with concern.“Mom, Jonathan just called to inform us that Charlotte and Sebastian have already arrived back in the country. They are going to ar…”“They are supposed to arrive later in the day. Why did they come so soon? Victoria asked.“Jonathan said Sebastian was shot. He has lost a lot of blood and his condition is critical,'' Diego informed them, his voice devoid of any emotion as he was still finding it

“Gather your men down, we will attack tonight,” Charlotte instructed.“As expected,” Flynn said with a huge grin on his face. It had been a while since he went on such a dangerous operation. He would usually just assign such tasks to his men but he had to go for this one as it concerned Charlotte. “I think it’s time we wiped the Shantell family away from history,” Charlotte said…****After Charlotte had arranged everything with Flynn, she headed to her office to visit Irene and Charles as she knew Victoria did not give them permission to see her. As she walked past the office, she could feel all eyes on her. While some were staring at her judgmentally, others were staring at her with sympathy and pity and that irked her. Charlotte ignored all the stares and entered Charles' office. Luckily for her, Irene was in her manager’s office. “Oh my god Charlotte, you have finally regained consciousness,” Irene said in happiness as she hugged her. “Welcome back Charlotte,” Charles simply

"You shouldn't have blood on your hands," Sebastian said as he wiped away the blood on Charlotte's hands.Charlotte, who had thought that Sebastian would hate her after what he saw, was confused by his action. She was unable to utter a word. She simply stared at him as he wiped the blood of Dexter's father off her hand. "Ahem," Flynn cleared his thought to snap Charlotte out of the trance she was in. "Charl, what are you going to do about him?" He asked, pointing to Dexter who had passed out from the shock of watching his father's brain being blown out. Sebastian's expression immediately turned cold on hearing how informally Flynn addressed his wife. It showed just how close they were and he hated the fact that Charlotte was associated with someone like Flynn.Charlotte could feel the anger which was emitting from Sebastian and she knew why. "Sebastian, I would like you to meet Flynn Fraser, my friend," she quickly introduced before things got heated between the two."Nice to mee

Charlotte's alarm started beeping, waking her up from sleep. She got up and sharp pains immediately hit her body as she had slept on the couch while waiting for Sebastian to come back home.It was nine thirty the next morning and he still hadn’t returned home nor had returned her calls and messages. She headed to her room to get ready for her meeting with Charls’ which was happening at eleven. As much as she wanted to stay home, she couldn’t ignore her job any longer. She had taken a break for over nine weeks and she needed to return. Charlotte finished getting ready an hour later. She was dressed in a blue suit matched with blue heels. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail with bangs on both sides of her hair and she had make-up on. She was beautiful outside however, she felt the opposite on the inside. And she wouldn’t stop feeling so until she cleared things up with Sebastian.She checked her phone again hoping to see a text from him but there was none. Her patience level star

Charlotte looked at the time and saw that it was already past eight. Sebastian had still not come home. She however didn’t bother to call him as she was still angry at him. She was currently having dinner as she refused to starve herself again for the man who didn't deserve it. Halfway through her dinner, she heard the door to the mansion open. She thought Sebastian had finally come home. However, that thought was squashed as Diego’s voice was heard moments later. “Sebastian!” he shouted his brother’s name as he walked into the mansion. “Are you home yet?!”“He hasn't come home yet,” Charlotte answered. “He still isn't done with Dexter!” Diego exclamed as he was shocked. His brother had been with Dexter for over five hours now. This meant that Sebastian was torturing Dexter to death.“As you can see, he’s not yet back,” Charlotte replied. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to bed. You can stay here and wait for Sebastian or you can go home.”“Sister in law, wait, I need your hel
