Charlotte’s POVIt seemed Jacob couldn’t stand the silence anymore.The tension at the table was sharp enough to slice through the air. I mean you could literally slice through the tension with a knife and get two equal halves.The way Hayden sat there so calm, so unbothered, only made it worse for him. I could see it the irritation crawling under Jacob’s skin, the jealousy burning behind every forced smile.Hayden didn’t say much. He never did. He didn’t need to. His silence was heavier than words, his stillness more commanding than Jacob’s loudest boast.The contrast between them was… painful.After Cecilia returned ro the table, she tried light conversation with others seated around, which eventually got round to the whole table.The atmosphere became light again and people were now making conversations trying to ease up all he pent up tension.Jacob tried to dominate every conversation, his voice a constant presence, sharp and arrogant, while Hayden listened quietly, only speaki

Charlotte’s POVThe faint light from the hall framed him like a ghost dragged out of my past still handsome, still smug, still wearing that look that made my stomach twist with disgust.“Charlotte,” he said softly, stepping toward me.Every muscle in my body tensed. “What are you doing here?”He smiled like it was nothing. “I saw you leave. Thought you could use some company.”“I don’t need company. Especially not yours.”His eyes flickered, a shadow of irritation passing through them. “You’re still angry, huh?”“Angry?” I repeated, trying to steady my voice. “You humiliated me, you dragged my name through the mud, and you’re asking if I’m angry?”He sighed, stepping closer. “You’ve changed. You talk different now… cold, like him.”“Don’t,” I warned.But he didn’t stop. “I miss when you were soft, when you looked at me like I was everything.” His gaze darkened. “He doesn’t deserve that look.”“Enough,” I said sharply, stepping back.Jacob’s smile widened, but there was no humor in it

Charlotte’s POVThe days that followed felt like something out of another world.The kind of world where the air was soft, the waves hummed against the edge of the sky, and silence didn’t hurt anymore.Hayden had planned everything down to the smallest detail. An exclusive dining experience, private spa reservations, candlelit dinners that spilled into long nights of conversation that weren’t supposed to mean anything… yet somehow did.He said it was all for “appearances,” but I didn’t believe that. Not anymore.Not when his hand brushed mine under the table longer than it needed to. Not when his voice softened every time he said my name.And not when I started waiting for those moments.The first dinner was on the deck of the villa, overlooking the water.The sea shimmered with scattered moonlight. The sound of the tide was the only witness to our silence.He sat across from me, wearing a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled up just enough to expose the veins along his forearms. His mov

Charlotte’s POVIt started with a call.A soft, hesitant ring that pulled me from the lazy hum of the waves outside the villa.We were still on the last stretch of Hayden’s carefully planned vacation… the one that had become far more dangerous to my heart than I wanted to admit.I’d been standing by the window, staring at the glow of the sunset melting into the sea when my phone buzzed again.Cecilia.I nearly dropped it.For weeks… silence. Not a text, not a whisper. After everything that had happened at the anniversary, I’d assumed she’d hate me for life.And now she was calling.I hesitated before answering. “Hello?”There was a long pause. Then, her voice fragile, trembling, and far too soft to sound like her.“Charlotte…?”Something inside me tightened. “Cecilia? What do you want?”“I wanted to talk,” she said quickly. “Please don’t hang up. I… I just need five minutes.”Her tone was shaky. Uncertain. It didn’t sound like the sharp, venomous sister I knew.I sat down slowly, stil

Charlotte's POV “Seems your progress with your sister wasn't small”. The rough and commanding voice of Heyden sounded softly almost like a passing wind.I wasn't aware when he entered the room but observing that calm face of his, like his statement was just passing thought, I asked. “How much did you hear”. My heart tensed up at the thought of him hearing how I accepted to go out without a confirmation from him.Sensing my upbeated heart riming in tension, he acted like he didn't notice. “Not much, just enough to know you want me to come with you to somewhere”.Hmmf breathing down in relief, then remembering that the person in front of me was not my ex Jacob, that restricted me of every privilege, including freedom of movement. And was rather Heyden Maxwell the richest youngest and most handsome man to ever walk earth.Shaking my head as my lips curled up a bit in pride It felt good that he calls me his wife even if I'm hiding under the veil of deception.“You're smiling, did I say a
