Orphaned at a tinder age,she lived under the care of her Aunty Ruby, A woman whose kindness laid a secret darker than the night. Charlotte assisted her in the clubhouse,serving silently in the background,unaware that her life was being shaped by the forcing way beyond her understanding. She had never known freedom. She had never known love.

And Collins, a man whose intentions were far more than pure watched from the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment to strike. In the world where innocence is rare, and love is costly,Charlotte journey will test her faith,her heart and destiny. Session 1. Out of the clubhouse. Charlotte’s POV. I sat quietly before the mirror,studying my reflection as the sunlight slipped through the curtains and kissed my skin, I was in thought,admiring the familiar face that stared right back at me, when the door cracked opened. Aunty Ruby enters, Without a word,she picked up a comb and began working through my hair. Her touch was gentle and deliberate, nothing like she usually is with me. Something felt different and usually wrong even. Since my parents death,she had never taken time to do this herself. My heart fluttered with unease. I turned slightly trying to catch her eyes in the mirror “Aunty…. What’s going on today” I said curiously. “Keep quiet and sit still” she said sharply leaving no room for argument. I swallowed “hmm… okay” I murmured under my breath. She stepped away briefly, then returned holding a golden, shimmering, almost unreal gown. She placed it in my hands alongside a pair of black heels. “Put these on” she said “ I will come for you in a jiffy” The moment she left, I stared at the gown in disbelief. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever touched. The fabric glowed softly under the light, elegant and breathtaking. I had never worn anything this beautiful in my entire life. When I slipped into it,I barely recognized myself. My name is Charlotte,a twenty-two year old young lady,merlin in complexion,my life was shaped by loss. I have lived with my Aunty Ruby since both of my parents died in a tragic car accident,when I was twelve. Her clubhouse became my home. Though I was never allowed inside unless my Aunty demanded. Instead, I worked behind the scenes as a make up artist, preparing the women who worked there. The locker room has been my world. The clubhouse itself had been a mystery to me one I was forbidden to enter. Until today.
