Semua Bab Bounded At First Sight To My Arranged Groom's Rival : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Charlotte’s POV My breath caught on a sigh and I couldn't think straight while my body trembled. “Hey! Are you okay? I hope he didn't touch you!” Ethan asked quickly the moment I rushed in.For a moment, I was breathless as I stood rooted to the ground and I felt like it was on fire. “What's wrong?” Daisy added.As I stood, each memory that struck my mind felt like the universe turning against me. Suddenly, I took a deep breath as I bent down slightly.“Calm down and say something, please. We're worried,” Daisy added, her tone was like a plea.But my heart seemed as if it had come into my throat and my voice cracked. “Charlotte,” just as I presumed I was about to get my voice, he called in a low tone.As I spun my head towards me, my heart began to beat fast again with a combination of fear and excitement. “Why? I made my promises clear and here I am to fulfil them. I will not…”I didn't know when my eyes shook, and the tears that I tried to fight split on my face. “I don't know what

Charlotte's POV I stood there frozen, my heart hammering in my chest. My mind raced as numerous thoughts oozed through it. I just hoped that it wasn't what I was thinking. I just hoped.I glanced at Norman for the second time, as I expected to hear a word. Maybe I'm hallucinating due to over-thinking.“Are you okay?” He enquired with sceptical brows.I nodded but my response conflicted with my facial expressions as it tightened up and my jaw clenched.The next thing I saw of his hand moving towards the door as he pressed on it again. There and then, a murmur escaped into my ears. “Did you hear that? Are you expecting someone?” The bitch’s voice.My heartbeat increased rapidly as I felt like strangling this slut with my bare hands. “What!” Liam yelled.“Who could that be?” He added.I didn't expect less. Yes, he didn't anticipate anyone who coincidentally would show up here thereby disrupting his good time. I mean this could be a habitual thing.“He's not alone? Can you perceive the m

Liam's POV I thought my eyes were deceiving but I was wrong. As I got closer, I was frozen, and my mind raced. Ruby!What's going on here? Does she have any relationship with Darcy?Norman got in front of me and murmured some words into his ears before I arrived there. “Wow! Mr Blackwood, you kept your promise. It's a pleasure to have you here,” he stated.Yes, he voiced some words, but my mind was a jumbled mess as my gaze remained glued on this dramatic lady who could do anything for her own selfish benefit.I couldn't help but wonder how she was seated side by side with this man. I mean, what the heck is going on between them? Or it's just a trap to spank at me?“Thank you,” I managed to say.“Make yourself comfortable please,” he added.“I now understand why you chose this place. It's beautiful.”I sighed as I couldn't comprehend what was going on. “Let's get straight to business, Mr Blackwood,” he said while fidgeting with his laptop that was already open before I came.“What fu

Charlotte's POV The moment the elevator dropped me down, my blood was still boiling and my steps were swift. “Why's she going back?” One of the few staff who were still working murmured.“Probably, there's a problem. She looked so upset,” the other added.What the heck is their concern? With this cheap gossip! My mind oozed with numerous thoughts.As I got outside, my gaze drifted to the car, and my skin crawled. “Mrs Blackwood, the car keys,” Norman said behind as he was panting.Probably, he raced to get to deliver the keys to me. I spun my head towards him and his brows knitted together.“I'm sorry, but you need to calm down. I don't even think it's safe for you to drive in this situation,” he added as I was mute.I folded my arms, which were swinging about, and gazed at him intensely. “Is everything alright?” He asked.“I don't need it! I will get a cab man to drive me home! I will be fine,” I refused as I took my gaze from him quickly.“He is…”“He should go to hell!” I interrup

Charlotte's POV My flesh crawled with sparks of electricity and the guilt blooming in my stomach made my muscles contract. “Good!” He said as he fiddled with my phone which was already unlocked.“Lover birds, there's no need to ask about how you saved his number,” he added.All that while, a lot of thoughts oozed through my mind and my heart was beating fast. Am I really going to do this?“Hello sweetheart, hope you slept well? I had wanted to check up on you, but then I thought it wise to come over to your place,” Liam spoke immediately. After He placed the call through.My lips trembled and my words got stuck in my throat all of a sudden. I didn't know what to say at this point. How am I supposed to blackmail him this way?“I know you're still mad at me for what happened yesterday but trust me when I say there's nothing between us,” he added.His wicked gaze fell on me and a smirk formed on his face. Then he stood up from the chair and raised my chin with his fingers aggressively
