Chapter 30
Charlotte stepped out of her room, it’s been one hours since she finished her breakfast and had just finished packing her bags.
She walked downstairs but stopped when she saw Chase, he was sitting on the double couch and drinking.
Chase always drink, but he’ll never drink in his house expect something is wrong. He prefers to drink at a bar or at the warehouse. Anywhere outside from his house.
“Are you okay?” Charlotte asked him and walk to sit next to him.
Chase hadn’t noticed her presence until he heard her voice, he turn to her and nodded pouring himself another drink.
“You’ve been drinking since morning. Stop it already ” she said and made to take the glass out of his hand .
“What do you think you’re doing?” Chase raised his brows at her.
Charlotte swallowed, she forgot Chase hates it when someone try to get something out of his hand.
She sighed and led back of the couch.
“I’ll be going to see my parents today. I may stay there for a while but I will drop by” Charlotte said after a while .
Chase just nodded.
“Can you drive me? I mean, can you drive me to their apartment. Is okay if you won’t come in” Charlotte said and Chase didn’t say a word.
He pull out the pack of cigarettes from his pocket and bring out a stick.
His mind isn’t even in what ever Charlotte is saying, the words of Calista yesterday evening to him seems disturbing. He don’t remember the last time someone takes back to him.
All her character is just the same as Madison and in as much as Chase hates to admit that Calista is quite cute, he can’t.
He can’t even explain why he’s mad at her for going out with his brother. It’s not like there’s a chemistry going on between them, Rowan had only take her there to get some lunch.
“I can’t, I have some business to handle” Chase told her plainly and stood up walking upstairs.
Charlotte sat and watched him until he disappear into his room. She sighed and try to recall what happened in the morning.
She had never seen Chase like this not even when he was dating her sister.
Charlotte chose to believe that something must have transpassed between him and Calista that even Calista had refused to have breakfast and after she left, Chase had been drinking.
Calista is just a slave, and Charlotte hates the way Chase is being nice to her.
If she’s to find out Calista is making an approach on Chase, she won’t hesitate to put her on her place.
She’s a slave and should know that. Even if Chase is nice to her, that shouldn’t give her the wrong inspiration to believe Chase feel something for her.
Charlotte sat up and sighed, she had liked Chase from day one. Chase was a childhood friend with them but had been more close to Madison and she had somehow hated Madison when she find out Chase asked her out.
They had only dated for five months before Madison’s death, but it’s been four years and Chase still won’t stop thinking about her which makes Charlotte more frustrated.
But that won’t stop her from trying, Chase is her’s right from the beginning and no matter what happens she’ll do anything to see him running to her.

Charlotte packed the car at her parent’s garage and got down, the maid who were all bowing to her carried her luggages.
She walk into the apartment and her mother was the first to come welcome her.
“My baby….” She called and hugged her smiling.
“Good day mummy. Wow! Dad had been feeding you so much well and I was ever thinking you’re worried about me, whileas you’re enjoying your husband’s company” Charlotte said and Mrs Harrison laughs.
“I made your favourite meal. Come and sit down Baby!”
“You made or the maids did?”
“Don’t make me feel bad, they’re all the same” Mrs Harrison said smiling.
Charlotte walk to the dining and smile when she preserve the aroma of the meals served neatly. She pull out a chair and sat down, Mrs Harrison did the same.
“Where’s Father?” Charlotte asked.
“He went to the warehouse, he had an urgent meeting and he don’t wanna miss it. How have you been doing? We missed you and thought we had lost you too”
“C’mon Mother, I have been calling though”
“Not too often. Since you’re back, I was hoping we should go to your sister’s tomb and pay her a visit?. I have been thinking about her lately”
Charlotte didn’t say a word and just nodded then continue eating.
“If only she had taken my advice and not date that spoilt son of Gotti’s. She could’ve been healthy and alive , I hate that boy so much and wish him nothing but pain. I’m sure he’s the only that killed her…. ”
“Mum!” Charlotte dropped her spoon on the table and look up at her mother who was laminating.
“Chase have no hand in Madison’s death, My sister died because it’s her time. Chase didn’t kill her”
“Because it’s her time? She was just 19 when she died! And she was shot. Why wasn’t it Chase who got shot? They both went out together and Madison lost her life while Chase is alive.”
“Ma.. Chase was the one that was targeted . Madison just happened to take the bullet for him, no one asked her to do that. She killed herself so just stop blaming Chase ”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“If he didn’t know exactly what happened and if he wasn’t the one that planned the shooting , why haven’t he find the killer?”
“He’s trying! He’s trying okay? Stop this hating already. I told you, He didn’t know anything.” Charlotte sighed.
“Why are you speaking up this much for him? Charlotte… You’re still in love with that monster in human body!?” Ms Harrison asked.
“Can you just stop already! I won’t sit and listen to him call him names, what’s wrong with you?” Charlotte yelled standing up.
Mrs Harrison sighed and stared down.
“You can’t love him Charlotte, you need to find yourself a man and stop waiting for him. He dated your sister and she lost her life just in five months after they make their relationship official. Chase is a Mafia.. not just him, but his family too. No one is safe around him. I don’t wanna lose you like I loose Madison too ”
“I’ll be in my room. Tell the maid to inform me when my father is back” Charlotte said and walk away from the dining room.
Mrs Harrison stared at the retracing figure of her daughter and sighed. She just doesn’t understand what’s so special about Chase that Charlotte just won’t stop loving him.
No! She’s not in love with Chase, she’s only obsessed and she just need someone to tell her to back up.
