"Sorry, Charlotte! This may not be the best timing, but I’ve decided your little sister will replace you as the Mistress of the Hawks family!" Charlotte’s heart sinks as her father’s words reverberate through the room. A hollow feeling spreads through her chest, making it hard to catch her breath. Her fingers curl slightly in her lap as if clinging to something solid. Her biological parents, her own flesh and blood, want to give her half-sister the life she had always been promised. Charlotte Milestone, the eldest daughter of the Milestone family, is seen by everyone as a princess born with a golden spoon. But beneath the façade of luxury and privilege, she feels more like Cinderella. Her younger sister, Rachel, is four years her junior and a constant reminder of their mother’s betrayal. Their mother had cheated on their father, and when Rachel’s father, her mother's lover, died in a tragic accident, Charlotte’s father took their mother back out of misguided love. Rachel’s arriv

The wedding has been finished, avoiding procrastination. The guests are excusing themselves after congratulating the newlyweds on their happy marriage. Most of the guests look satisfied with the wedding since it was wholesome, seeing the bride and groom in beautiful collaboration, as if they were lovebirds who would never let go of each other's hands. Charlotte is standing, clutching her dress a little tightly. From the crowd, she can see her husband, who looks charming and classy in his gorgeous, expensive suit. It would be a lie if she denied that he captivated her so badly. His soft expression, devoid of ruthlessness, and his deep voice with a distinct flirtatious tone can shake her wounded heart, which needs to heal. "He is handsome. Sadly, he won't be able to make you happy. I feel sorry for you, Sister!" Charlotte snaps out of her thoughts when Rachel whispers mockingly. She sounds envious yet condescending. "But it's fine. Control him. He is nothing but a crippled man who

She feels nothing. Nothing but a new, exquisite sensation in her heart. Watching her beloved gaze at another woman with such gentle eyes—eyes that had always been cold and distant toward others—stings more than she expected. The man she has cared for over the years, the one who never let his emotions show, now looks as if he would melt at the slightest touch from another woman. The pain isn’t unbearable, but the hatred toward the woman who stole her long-time crush burns fiercely. She has done everything to keep him by her side, yet now this woman is here to take him away. Shayne clenches her fists, her nails digging into her palms. Her disappointment, anger, and frustration swirl together. Her glossy eyes betray the emotions she’s trying to suppress, while her lips are crushed between her teeth in frustration. I need to do something to get rid of this girl. She doesn’t deserve my Eddie. With that thought, Shayne strides toward Mrs. Rodriguez, who is helping Charlotte down th

As the morning sun brightens the room, Charlotte opens her eyes. Unlike her regular mornings, today she is a little surprised. Her leg is on his belly, her head on his shoulder; she is embracing him like a koala bear. Stunned by her posture, she looks at Edward, who is sleeping. His face is so close to hers that she can feel his soft breath hitting her head. The light on his face makes him even more charming, like a dream guy in every girl's dreams. She slowly frees herself from his grip, but a smile appears on her lips. Today, she won't have to worry about her parent's food. No matter what, it was really hard for her to handle the job and house chores all alone by herself. She gets off the bed and enters the washroom. Staring at herself for quite a while, she sighs heavily. She can't believe that she is married now, and not only that, but she is married to her idol's son. But one thing is clear—she doesn't feel the pressure on her head like she used to. She feels refreshed and relie

It felt nice to be with the family on her first day of married life. After the ending of the misunderstanding, everyone firmly and warmly welcomed her with the love and respect that she deserves. But Charlotte had already noticed that her presence was not welcomed by Shayne, the family doctor of Rodriguez. She finds Charlotte bitter. It is confirmed. Since Shayne isn't a family member of Rodriguez, she doesn't bother herself with this matter. She can't make everyone happy at once, and she isn't obligated to. However, after helping Suzy with her bedtime stories until she fell asleep, she walks into her bedroom. When she walks in, her heart thumps to see her husband focused on some documents. He looks quite serious, but the glasses on him make him even more charming at this point. She quietly sits on the bed, watching him from behind. Edward moves a little after sensing someone's presence behind him. Without looking at her, he holds the tray of snacks toward her. "Did Suzy fall a
