Damon's pov
After I left her room, I went straight to the dungeons where my boys had kept the already beaten up thugs.
'Sir, they still don't want to talk' my P. A said. I smirked, I'm only getting started. The thugs were chained each to a pole and they all had bruises on their body.
'Who sent you?' I asked. They didn't reply and just kept a straight face except one who was shivering. I went closer to him and asked again but he kept mute. I went to the table where all the weapons were kept and picked up a jar of pepper.
I emptied all the contents on his bruises and he screamed like a madman.
'Are you going to tell me all I want to know? I asked.
'Yes yes ugh, john hired us to fake a kidnap on Ms Scott' he said groaning
'fake kidnap? Why?'
'so he would be the one to rescue her. Please I've told you everything I know please release us, we would never go near Ms Scott again' he pleaded. I ignored hi and left.
I went to Charlotte's room and met her sleeping. I caressed her face and sighed deeply. 'Charlotte when would you remember me or even all the time we've spent together? I thought sadly. I left her room and went to my study.
AFTERNOON
I was waiting in the dinning for Charlotte so we would eat together. She in with the maid I sent to get her and sat down after I told her to. After sometime, asked me who Charlotte was. I looked at her in shock. Did she recall something?
'Why do you ask?' I asked her in anticipation .
'Well the first day you met me, at that alley you called me Charlotte so I'm just curious. Who's she?' she asked again. She hasn't recalled anything yet.
I sighed and said 'Charlotte is the love of my life'
She looked sad when I said that. 'What's wrong?' I asked
'Nothing, thanks for the meal' she said. She stood up and left in a hurry. I went after her but before I could get to her, she had already locked herself in her room.
'Cora, what's wrong? Open up'
'I'm fine, i just feel tired'
'Oh okay, I'll just leave' I said and left
Coralline's pov
I felt hurt when he told me who Charlotte was to him. I can't deny that I've already fallen in love with him. Was he just using me as a replacement for his Charlotte? I laid on the bed and kept on crying non stop.
Vivian's pov
I placed the bundle of cash on his desk 'take this and don't tell anyone about it' I said. He stared at the money and smiled sardonically.
'This wouldn't be enough to keep the secrete of your barrenness, he said. I was extremely angry but I kept my cool.
'How is three million dollars not enough? What else do you want Dr. Matthew?'I asked. The potbellied man smiled and said 'stop acting like a child Vivian, you know what I want. If I can just have you for one night, I'll keep quiet about your little secrete and even fake a pregnancy for you' I looked at him in disgust but complied since a child is my only ticket into the Humphrey's home.
'Alright, meet me at goodwill hotel at 10 pm sharp and you must be alone, I don't want to be caught by the paparazzi' I said
'Now you're talking, I'll see you tomorrow pretty damsel' he said and blew me a kiss. I ignored him and left immediately.
