Charlotte's POV
I trembled when I heard the loud bang of Jack's bedroom door after he closed it with too much force because he was so angry with . I wanted to call him to co back, but I felt so embarrassed about what I had done.
I slowly walked back inside my room with shaking limbs. I hated myself for acting that way and saying those words to Jack, but I could no longer take them back. I hurt him, and I couldn't bla him if he left without saying goodbye to .
He was hurt and angry. I judged him, and I loathe myself more. I should have been careful with my words and let him explain his side first before I attacked him with painful accusations.
I was so scared when I found him getting out of my brother's suite, and I wondered what he was doing inside. My mind was in chaos as I thought of the possibilities, and I could no longer control my mouth from accusing him of ruining my only chance.
"What I have done?" I asked myself after I collapsed into my bed. I wanted to call him and apologize, but I was afraid he wouldn't answer my call.
I felt so immature, and I wanted to scream. I was such a fool. Jack only talked with Hunter to let my brother know he likes , and after what I have done, I don't think he will still like .
He looked so disgusted after I yelled at him. I liked him so much, and I thought we could be together now because I noticed Cecily distanced herself from Jack when he didn't date her, even if she showed to his face how much she liked him.
I found it so hard to sleep after I took a hot shower. I kept turning on my bed, but I couldn't stop reliving what happened. The image of Jack's face filled with pain haunted the entire night.
When I got up from bed the following morning,
I felt dizzy, and my whole body ached.
I hurriedly showered and put on one of my favorite casual dresses. I apply light makeup on my face to hide the evidence of my lack of sleep, and I admit I wished to look good in Jack's eyes; that is why I applied so foundation on my face and lipstick on my lips.
There is one thing I want to do before I start my day. I need to ask an apology to Jack and ask him to give one more chance, and if I need to confess my feelings for him, I will do it to win his forgiveness.
Hunter is here, and I don't want to make this day worse by being the bad girl. Jack confessed to my brother, and it must have been hard on his part, and he must have liked a lot to speak with my brother about how he felt for .
I felt excited to see Jack, knowing he was already cooking breakfast in the kitchen. I need to see him now before my brother wakes up. I put on my high heels and walked out of my room hastily.
I took the stairs two steps at a ti. I needed to see Jack, and I could feel the hamring of my heart as I took every step. I felt so excited to feel his lips again. I know I was thinking in advance. I was hoping after I told him how I felt, he would kiss .
I could feel the knots on my stomach as I walked into the living room with grace. I was smiling like an idiot as I made my way to the kitchen, but my smile turned into a grimace, and my world crumbled down when I found Jack kissing Cecily as I stood at the kitchen door with my eyes wide open.
I wanted to run as I watched Jack pull Cecily tighter, but I couldn't move my feet. The way he kissed her was more than enough to tell he was totally over . He had forgotten over after one night, and I couldn't bla him.
It felt like my heart was pierced and cut into a million pieces. I never expected to find the hot chef doing sothing like that because he told last night he confessed to my brother he liked a lot. How could he like and kiss another woman in front of ?
"Good morning, Charlotte!" He greeted after he released Cecily's mouth as if he had done nothing wrong, and I wanted to co closer and slap him hard on his face, but I didn't even have the energy to utter a single word.
"Good morning, Charlotte. Are you okay?" Cecily asked, and I could see the happiness all over her face while I wanted to disappear and hide from them forever.
But I needed to be strong and pretend I was unaffected by what I witnessed. I am a Divenson, and I will never allow a man to ruin my reputation. I will never beg Jack to have as his girlfriend.
"Good morning; you may continue what you are doing. I only wanted to check if breakfast was ready; please, excuse , I needed to see my brother," I responded after I recovered from my shock, I turned my heels in a hurry trying to contain my tears from falling, and left the kitchen with a heavy heart.
"Good morning, Charlotte! Are you on your way to fetch ?" My brother asked with a beautiful smile on his face when I ca across him in the hallway on the second floor.
"Yes, Sir, I just wanted to ask if you had a good night's sleep," I replied, and he chuckled.
"Co on, don't call that. I am your brother, Charlotte," he responded, and I smiled even if my heart was aching.
At least Hunter was here to cheer up, and it felt so ironic since he used to be the last person I wanted to spend my ti with after what I had done to him. I knew Kaye's words blinded , and I believed her lies, and right now, I want to make it up to him.
"Do you want to accompany you today?" I asked, and he bead at .
"I would love that, Charlotte," he said enthusiastically, and I could feel he ant what he said.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked.
"Well, I wished to visit Barcelonia's capital since I needed to buy sothing." He replied, and I nodded.
"I will be happy to co with you, big brother," I replied.
"Okay, we will leave after eating lunch, and I plan to have dinner with you with Jack and Cecily at my favorite restaurant in the capital." He declared, and I suddenly tensed up and just thinking about them made feel sick.
I even formulated a plan on how to excuse myself during alti. I don't want to eat with them. I considered Cecily, my best friend, but after what I saw a while ago, I don't want to see them both.
"Let us go to the dining hall because I am starving." He added.
"I am sorry, Hunter, but I needed to call so suppliers. Would it be alright if I couldn't join you?" I asked, and he widely grinned at .
"Oh, you beco a workaholic, but breakfast is the most important al of the day, Charlotte." He replied, still smiling at .
"I know, but don't worry, I already ate bread and took coffee," I answered.
"Alright, just make sure you will not skip a al within the day," he stated as his face turned serious.
"Yes, sir," I replied, and he shook his head.
"Stop calling that," he responded.
"I am sorry, but technically, you are my guest, and I should address you properly," I said.
"Charlotte, please, stop that; you are making uncomfortable." He mumbled as he looked at in the eyes.
"Okay, Hunter," I replied and he sweetly smiled at .
"Can we have dinner alone?" I asked, and he stared at .
"Why? Don't you want your employees to join us?" He asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"It is not like that, Hunter. I just want to be alone with you to have a brother and sister bonding ti that we couldn't have for a long ti. I knew I had done so many things that displeased you, and it felt surreal that I am talking with you right now." I responded.
"Oh, I like the idea, that would be lovely. Let us have dinner alone; we will invite Jack and Cecily tomorrow night." He responded, and I forced myself to fake a smile even if I wanted to frown and say no. I couldn't find any excuse not to have dinner with them tomorrow.
I will make another excuse tomorrow; at least I don't need to deal with them tonight. I want to be alone with Hunter, not only to make up for the lost ti but to be away from the manor for the ti being.
I don't want to be with Jack or Cecily. I couldn't stop the image of them kissing in front of . It really breaks my heart, and I don't know if I can take the pain any longer.
I planned to apologize to Jack about my behavior last night. I knew I hurt him for accusing him, but right now, I felt so angry and betrayed. How could he kiss Cecily after he confessed to my brother he liked ?
