Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Novels & Stories

She had completely forgotten the existence of Aiden who was still staring at her from a distance. "My husband is so adorable." Rose would have given Theo no mercy had Charlotte not suddenly appeared between them. "Looks like I'm bothering you guys." Rose and Theo's attention was both on Charlotte and her sweet smile. The dress on her body fit perfectly with her already bulging belly. Rose guessed that Charlotte was about the same age as Bridgette. For whatever reason that woman, Bridgette, was even still being held by the possessive husband who only let them meet briefly a while ago.

Her voice was soft, distant, like recalling a dream from long ago. “My parents died in a snowy accident. I was raised by my grandmother, who happened to be an old friend of Queen Elizabeth. That connection got me into the royal household. I started working there at sixteen.” She paused. “By eighteen, I had fallen in love. He was beautiful—strong, gentle, everything a girl dreams of. He promised me forever.” Charlotte’s voice faltered, just a little. “But then he went off to serve in the U.S. army. While he was away, I had one careless night with a powerful man—one I didn’t love. He was a high-ranking official. I didn’t realize I was pregnant until it was too late.”

"Did you need something, Chloe? Or are you just here to pollute the air conditioning?" Chloe’s jaw tightened. "I want that dress." She turned to Henri, pulling out a sleek black titanium card. "Whatever she’s paying for it, I’ll double it. Box it up for me." Henri turned pale, wringing his hands. "Miss Sterling, I apologize, but this gown is custom-made for Madame Frost. It is one of a kind. I cannot simply" "I said, I’ll double it!" Chloe snapped, her voice raising to an ugly pitch. "Do you know who my fiancé is? I can have this entire boutique shut down by tomorrow morning!"

Standing at 5'8", with her delicate porcelain skin, vibrant green eyes, and soft auburn hair often styled in elegant waves, she carried an air of sophistication that was hard to ignore. Born as Lady Charlotte Whitmore, the only daughter of the Duke of Ashbourne, she grew up surrounded by the grandeur of English aristocracy. Despite the expectations placed upon her, she was known for her warm, compassionate nature and sharp intellect. She had been betrothed to the Duke of Ravenshire, a man of wealth and influence, but her heart was captured by Henry Masterson, a charming American businessman who visited her family’s estate. Defying tradition, she chose love over duty and followed Henry to Ame

“You said you wanted to help.” “I do.” He circled slowly behind her. “But you’ve lost perspective.” “I gave you opportunities.” “You became obsessed.” Emma struggled against the restraints. “I was following your instructions.” “No.” His voice remained perfectly even. “You were pursuing your feelings.” He stepped back into view. “Charlotte was never the objective.” Emma froze. “…What?” “The bridge.” His eyes darkened. “Charlotte simply happens to be part of it.” Emma’s heartbeat quickened. “You knew.” “I know considerably more than you.”

“The first one. The make-or-break one. The ‘let me show you the version of me that still knows how to feel alive’ kind of date.” Valeria narrowed her eyes. “Have you been watching romance movies again?” “Three this week,” Elena said proudly. “One with a pirate. Two with a brooding architect. All inspiring. Now…..” she clapped her hands dramatically. “We begin Operation Date Night.” Valeria shook her head but didn’t protest. The truth was, it felt good. Elena circled her like a stylist assessing her canvas. “I’m thinking deep emerald green. Off the shoulder. Hair loose, natural waves. Oh, and those heels that make your legs look like they were carved by angels.”

Headlines bloomed across the glass screen, stacked on top of each other: THE ICE QUEEN MELTS: WREN & MARCELLO— A WEDDING IN SIGHT? FALLEN KING, FROZEN QUEEN—POWER COUPLE OR POWER PLAY? I gazed at them, my guts churning. What the fuck was this talk about marriage? Charlotte pinched the bridge of her nose. "Do either of you two understand the gravity of all this?" She asked, pointing a finger in my face. "We have to move. And quickly. Which means picking a wedding date."

The image of her salvation. "Is he the owner or a regular guest?" "He's the owner of this bordello, my lord." "He's upstairs, right? Where exactly? Lead us the way." I swallowed hard because how the Madame looked at Prince Evan was so creepy. I don't know how he managed that ability if all those girls he charmed had lost their sanity over a simple touch. Judging how this madame was acting, I could see that she was now like a slave who would do everything for him, even if he would ask her to kill herself. And that is the most dangerous part of being charmed. You have no more control of yourself and you'd just end up doing things you don't even like.

She knew she was pushing her luck when she agreed to go out with Amelia and thought she and Adrian would have a fight about it. "What do you want?" "Nothing". She relented as she walked to the printing machine to bring the documents he printed while she was having lunch. "Today is good, we can have dinner while watching Queen Charlotte" Amelia said as she steered the car in the direction of the local market. They have closed from work and were on their way to get food stuff for dinner. "Queen Charlotte? What is that?" Mia asked. Amelia turned to look at her in horror, "are you in this world? You don't know the latest series from Bridgerton?"

“Everyone knows Damien didn’t exactly choose you. The contract simply required a Whitmore daughter, didn’t it? Any one would have done.” I felt that land somewhere it shouldn’t have been allowed to reach, but I kept my face exactly where I wanted it. “You seem very informed about the details of my marriage,” I said. “I make it my business to know things.” “That sounds exhausting.” A hand settled at my waist before Patricia could respond. “Patricia,” Damien said, appearing beside me like he’d simply materialized there. “Always a pleasure.” “Damien.” Her tone shifted instantly, warmer, careful. “I was just telling Charlotte how interesting the circumstances of your marriage have been.”
