CHARLOTTE(PRESENT DAY)The initial numbness that had held me in its grasp earlier vanished the moment my eyes blinked open for the second time.As the harsh sunlight rays made me squint my eyes, my consciousness spiked from bleakness to awareness, and I was suddenly aware of everything.The smell of antiseptics reminded me that I was in the hospital.And Nathan.My heart caught in my chest at the thought that he might have left, but when I snapped my head to the side, my worry melted, and my heart bubbled.His head leaned sideways against the bed just by my side, his eyes were shut, and his soft snores floated through the monitor’s recurring beep to my ears.Watching him this close-up did something inside me. I almost didn't want to sit on the bed, but I did. I noticed he'd removed his suit jacket and draped it over the headrest of the chair he was sitting on.And his tie hung loosely from his neck.He was a worn-out mess.A handsome mess who'd kept to his word and stayed beside me f

CHARLOTTEMy heart thumped a thousand times its normal pace per second.I couldn’t believe it. Did I say that? Did I just ask for Nathan’s hand in marriage?Yes, I did. And the thick silence enveloping the room proved that.While I shook internally, outwardly, I maintained a confident front, hoping something good would come from my insane request.I never meant to say this, but it was my only resort with everything happening.I never intended to force Nathan to marry me. I wanted Sir Williams and Lady Melina to see how headstrong I was.They couldn’t control or manipulate me however they liked. If they thought I would let Liam go easily after everything he’d done to me, then they would have another thing coming.I bit my lips anxiously before turning to steal a glance at Nathan.His dark eyes shone in surprise briefly before changing to a calm look. He wasn't offended, nor did he rebuke me.

AUTHOR’S POVAs Charlotte's gaze fell to the chair Nathan had earlier occupied — their intimate moment still fresh in her mind — his sudden withdrawal from her hit her with an underlying feeling of loss.Her thoughts were conflicted, spinning between her feelings and Nathan’s indifference.Did he feel the same way she felt after this encounter?Was she reading too much into what just happened?And was he lying when he said they would finish what they started?In entirety, was she reading too much into this?She tried to narrow her thinking back to his feelings.How did he react after pulling away from the kiss?Almost indifferent, she reminded herself.He was cold and aloof, with a dainty smirk on his face, but aside from that, she saw something else…regret.She shook her head no.It wasn’t regret. She could tell from how he’d kissed her that he wanted to do

CHARLOTTEI was trying to rest a bit when my hospital door flew open, and my two favorite people in the world walked in.My heart warmed when I saw them smiling widely with nylon bags in their hands.“Mommy!” Charles was the first to drop the nylon bag to the floor and spring towards me.He flung his arms around my neck as I stood up from the bed to hug him tightly, squeezing his little body close. “Sweetie!” I gushed. “How is my baby boy doing?”“Very good,” he grinned, displaying his adorable baby teeth. “And what about you, Mommy?” He pulled back to look at me. “How are you? Are you getting better?”“Yes, I am, sweetie,” I laughed, pressing my lips to his soft curls.I shot a glance at Noah. He’d picked up the nylon bag Charles dropped and placed it alongside his on the bedside table—a spicy aroma wafted from it.“What’d you guys bring?” I eyed the bags curiously. “Takeouts or…?”“Homemade casserole with canned tuna and brown rice!” Charles piped in before I could finish. “Your fav

CHARLOTTECharles did not just say that. My son did not just say that.My entire body froze.For a split second, I didn’t know what to do. I could only look at Nathan, whose brows were furrowed.He stared at the little boy before him, and then, ever so slowly, his eyes flicked up, meeting mine.I swear my heart almost stopped at that one glance.“Oh, Charles, you surely don’t mean that, do you?” I let out an awkward laugh to ease the tension in the room.He opened his little mouth as if to say something, but I didn’t let him.“Noah…” I spoke up, calling my brother.His brows raised in question when he looked at me, and a smirk was pulling at the corners of his mouth.The fool seemed to be enjoying this. Bastard! I almost spat out.“Yes, sis?”“How about you take Charles out? Get him snacks and maybe some fresh air, yeah?”“Sure.” Noah, still smirking, said, immediately grabbing Charles by the hand.He led him from the room without looking back once.And as the door clicked shut, I bre
