“You were only but a child, Charlotte. You didn't understand that your grandfather was weak, but you sure as hell didn't want him to die. We couldn't even tell you that he won't be with us in a few months. Call me selfish, but I was glad that you lost your memory, especially the one about the accident. But, the death of your grandfather in that accident bred another problem,"Charlotte sniffed as she pulled back from the hug to look at her mother's face, “What problem?”“Your grandmother began to hate you. She has never really liked me, but the hatred was not extended to you as you were her grandchild, not until that accident. She thought that if you had not demanded for you both to go to the park, your grandfather would have been with us for a few more months, and he wouldn't have died in such a painful way,”Tears welled up in Charlotte's eyes again as she finally put the missing piece together. After she got back from the hospital that time, she had known that there was someone she

“Why did he agree?” she knew that there must have been a reason for him to later change his mind. She was curious to know. “When I asked him, he said you were a hard kid to please and always had your nose in the air. He said in his eyes, no one was worthy of you except Dalton because not only was he richer, he was also very patient when it came to matters concerning you. He was willing to deal with your temper, tantrums and pamper you.”Times have changed now. She does not throw tantrums anymore. Life and situation had changed and shaped her life. “Why then did Dalton not come back for me?” She wanted to know why he went after her sister instead of her. “That's something I can't understand, and it's also the reason I never told you about it when you told me that Bethany was now betrothed and to be married to him. I thought that things had changed since he grew up, and I also knew that Bethany and her mother could have done something. They would have manipulated things to make it wor

“What in God's name is this?” Charlotte's face was squeezed deeply and in a disgusted frown as she gazed at the picture on her phone. Bethany's username was not hard to find because she was using her real name, and she was also on the top search as she was big on Instagram. And finding the picture was not hard as it was a pinned post. “What's the problem?” Emily shuffled closer to Charlotte to look at her phone. A frown also appeared on her face when she saw the picture.“I know that Bethany and I have some resemblance, and someone who's not close to us would mistake us for each other if we are seen separately. But, if we are standing together, that would be a different case, mom. She looks so much like me here,” Charlotte spat out the words in disgust. She could feel her stomach churning and felt like throwing up.Emily grabbed the phone from her daughter's hand and zoomed the picture, "Bethany and her mother are sickos. Amarie dressed her to look like you. As I thought, your father

“You better be. Prevention is better than cure.”***“So I went to see my mom today,” Charlotte finally decided to break the silence that has been dominating the dining room since she and Dalton began to eat. He was waiting for her when she got back. According to him, he didn't want to eat without her, as he had gotten used to the both of them eating together.After her words, she saw his hand that was holding his spoon and taking food to her mouth tremble before becoming firm.Dalton said nothing. He chewed and swallowed his food first before asking, not even looking at her, “What did she say?”Seems like he was not in the mood to beat around the bush today, since he went straight to the point, not pretending like he had no Idea of what she was talking about.Charlotte dropped her spoon and clasped her hands in her lap, “She told me everything,” His eyes darted to her when he heard the sound of her spoon hitting the plate as she dropped it. He frowned, “Continue eating while you tal

Charlotte's face turned red with embarrassment as she recognized the reason he was smirking at her. He had distracted her from teasing him with a hard kiss. Now, she has lost focus and could not remember what she was saying before the kiss. It was his turn to tease her, but thankfully, he didn't. Instead, he reminded her about what it was she was saying before the kiss. “Let me remind you about what you were saying before the kiss. You were asking if I knelt down to beg your grandfather to allow me to marry you when I get back after I'm done with my studies,”Charlotte cleared her throat and sat straight up, “Yes, I was asking you that, so did you do it?”“I didn't. I had other ways to bend a hard-headed man like your grandfather to my will,”“Hmm,” Charlotte was doubtful but intrigued. Her mother had said she was very close to her grandfather, and he gave his life for her. Such a man wouldn't have signed a contract for her to get married to a boy if the boy did not have to do someth

Tears were still in her eyes as she dropped her hand down from her forehead, “The reason why I got married to you was because my father promised to pay my mother's medical bills,” He didn't look surprised, "I know that already,"Charlotte shook her head, “No, you don't understand. I would have gotten married to just anyone he wanted me to marry at that time because my mother was dying. What if I had gotten married to someone else that was not you? So he wouldn't have paid my mother's hospital bill?” From just thinking about it alone, Charlotte felt like she would go crazy. Her chest was heavy with pain. Her father could do just anything for Bethany and her mother, but not for her? For the life of her, she honestly can't remember why her father hated her so much even to this extent. “It doesn't matter anymore, wife. You ended up with me, so let's not dwell on the past,” Charlotte swallowed thickly before nodding, “You are right, there is no need to think of the past,” she said it s

“Charlotte, why are you here again? Shouldn't you be home spending time with your husband?” Emily said once she threw open her door and saw Charlotte standing out with her hands raised in the air to knock again.If Charlotte did not know any better; that her mother wanted her and Dalton's relationship to become stronger than it already was, she would have said her mother did not want to see her.Before she would respond, Dalton, whom her mother was yet to notice, spoke for her.“Her husband is here aunty Emmy, we wanted to visit you today,”Emily's eyes widened, and she gasped in shock as she looked behind Charlotte to see Dalton in his wheelchair. He was smiling sweetly at her with his whole teeth out. It was exactly like he always did when he was younger, when he wanted her to allow him to see Charlotte.Emily shoved Charlotte aside and rushed to him, “Ah, little handsome Dally, how have you been?”Dalton squeezed his face at the nickname, but he said nothing, knowing she would stil

Charlotte gasped at the same time her mother and even Dalton did. Dalton had directed the question at her in the heat of the moment. He did not even expect that she would give a positive response. “What did you just say, Charlotte? You are in love with this man right here?” Emily asked wide-eyed in shock, but there was happiness beneath dancing in her eyes. Charlotte looked away from both Emily and Dalton's eyes as an awkward silence settled over them. What was she supposed to say in response? That She only said it because they were having a little moment, and she felt like reassuring him?That would be stupid, and she might even end up hurting Dalton, whom she was sure was in love with her. Damn, why did she slip and ruin a beautiful moment like this? She was such a stupid person.Emily cleared her throat before breaking the silence when Charlotte refused to utter a word, “What do you like to drink? Nobody informed me that I would be having visitors, especially pests who are after

“What do you think?” Charlotte nervously wiggled her hands together as she stood before Dalton. She had just changed into the bright red gown he bought for her. She would be attending a gathering with him. This would be their first time outside together as husband and wife. She wanted to look her best and she loved the gown Dalton got for her. She had thought it looked good on her, but after seeing Dalton's blank stress since she stepped out of the room, she wasn't so sure anymore.Dalton snapped out of his thoughts, and cleared his throat. His cheeks colored pink as he realized that he had been lost staring at her beautiful face and figure. He said, “You look beautiful, wife,”Charlotte bit her lips to hold back the smile that threatened to blossom on her face. If she hadn't seen the way he blushed, she wouldn't have realized that he didn't say anything when he first came in because he immediately got lost staring at her.“Thank you, and you also look handsome.” For some reason, she

Walker was at the party, and it was really funny that he brought Evelyn with him. She was supposed to be the one hiding from him, but he was the one doing it. He must be ashamed to be caught here with Evelyn.She had been very uncomfortable throughout. From the time they got down from the car until when they got inside the party venue. Before the reporters could have the opportunity of shoving their microphones in hers and Dalton's faces, Dalton's bodyguards had appeared out of nowhere to shove them away and lead them safely to the door.Like Charlotte had thought, all attention was on them. She was grateful that his mother and father were in attendance. She sat with them and Dalton. She was grateful for Sarah's company because while the men spoke to their business partners, Sarah was there to keep her company. She would have died of boredom otherwise. She did not know many people there, but they knew her and most of the women threw her contemptuous glance even as they tried to speak
