Chapter one
“Your fiancé is going to love this cake!” The cashier smiled warmly, her words lightly lisped as she rang up Charlotte's purchases.
With a soft nod, Charlotte warmly responds to the words of the cashier. “I hope he loves it.” She purred, carrying the box of cake in her hands.
Exiting the bakery, Charlotte drew in a deep breath, savoring the crisp night air as it caressed her face.
The warm breeze rustled the flowery white gown she wore, its hem dancing in time with the wind's gentle rhythm.
She breathed out while gazing at the night sky which was filled with stars. ‘Beautiful!’ Charlotte mumbled as she stretched her hands, hailing a cab.
Some minutes later, a cab pulled over by the side of the road and Charlotte quickly rushed over to the cab.
"Please, take me to Bhat Street," Charlotte requested, her voice soft and polite as she settled into the backseat of the cab.
The cab driver nodded his head before accelerating the car engine to Charlotte destination.
Half hour later, the cab driver maneuvered his vehicle into a neat parking spot at the entrance of a gated apartment building, marking Charlotte's arrival.
“Thanks for the ride.” Charlotte happily uttered, stepping down from the cab before paying the driver for his fare.
The driver flashed Charlotte a quick smile before slipping her payment into his pocket. “Have a wonderful evening, miss.” His voice was a warm baritone, rich with good wishes.
With a turn of the key and a revving of the engine, he drove away.
Watching the car disappear out of her sight, she took in a deep breath, averting her gaze back to the entranced gate.
Smiling gleefully, Charlotte stepped inside the compound, approaching the apartment door.
When she reached the front of the apartment, Charlotte halted.
She pulled out her phone from within her handbag and with a quick flick of the finger, she dialled the number of Jackson, known as her fiancé.
The phone rang, but Jackson didn’t pick up.
‘Could it be that he hasn’t gotten back from work?’ Charlotte inquired within herself as she once more dialled the number of Jackson.
Despite several calls, Jackson didn’t pick up.
‘I guess I’ll have to wait for him here until he gets back from work…’
Charlotte was unable to complete her phrase because her gaze suddenly fell on the entrance door which was slightly opened.
Could Jackson be asleep inside?
Jackson had a notorious habit of leaving his door ajar and he was also known for his love of sleep.
On countless occasions, Charlotte had advised him to be careful with the way he always leaves his door slightly closed.
Sigh!
A loud sigh rolled out of the lips of Charlotte as she pushed the door open, taking a step inside the apartment.
Stepping into the living room, Charlotte’s gaze roamed around, settling on a lone pair of red heels resting on the floor.
Her brow furrowed. ‘Did I leave these here?’ Charlotte probed within herself.
Charlotte inhaled as she advanced towards the bedroom, her eyes fixed on the partially open door.
She sighed at the sight of the open bedroom door, resigned to the idea that Jackson was likely fast asleep, neglecting to close it in his customary manner.
Charlotte placed her hands on the door knot and stepped inside the bedroom.
Her eyes swept across the bedroom floor, registering the trail of discarded clothing—a black blouse, a white undershirt, a black belt, a red tie, and a black suit—that seemed to lead towards the bed.
‘Why is Jackson's room so messed up-‘
Charlotte was unable to complete her phrase because she suddenly averted her gaze from the floor, over to the bed.
There…
Jackson and Selene were both having s*x.
Selene was above the body of Jackson, rocking her hips as her hands were placed on his shoulder.
‘Gasped!’
Charlotte’s breath hitched in her chest as her gaze snapped wide in shock, taking in the carnal scene unfolding before her.
Her surprise made her to become shocked with disbelief as she watched her fiancé’s with her best friend.
Jackson, the fiancé of Charlotte had his eyes closed and his hands were wrapped around the waist of Selene, a means of assisting her to go faster in her pace.
Charlotte’s eyes fixed on Selene’s half-naked body. She was on a red bra and her mini skirt was raised upwards to her stomach, while her black hair fell onto her back, clinging to her wet body.
‘What the hell is happening?’ Charlotte questioned herself with baffled breath.
She kept watching Jackson moan in pleasure, and all Charlotte could do was ask herself why.
‘Why the hell is this happening?’
She opened her mouth to speak up but no words were able to roll out of her quivering mouth.
And then, her knees began to give in because they were so weak just by watching the horrific scene.
Charlotte collapsed onto the ground with a thumb sound, her action drawing the attention of Jackson.
“CHARLOTTE!”
Both Jackson and Selene averted their gaze towards Charlotte as they exclaimed her name in surprise, their mouth gasping wide open.
Quickly, Selene stepped down from the body of Jackson as she drew her mini skirt downwards, to properly cover her body.
Jackson on the other hand scrambled to hide his exposed body from Charlotte’s stunned gaze.
With an urgent movement, he rolled off the bed and snatched the white bedsheet to wrap around his waist.
“Charlotte, what are you doing here?” Jackson questioned, rushing to grab his trousers from the floor.
“Jack- Jackson!”
Charlotte's voice crack as tears welled in her eyes, slowly cascading down her cheeks like raindrops.
She quickly carried herself upwards, leaving the cake on the floor as she clenched her fist, her eyes still wide open in surprise.
The unexpected words of Charlotte immediately made Selena smirk. "What is it with that stunned expression?" She inquired with a scoff.
Charlotte felt her legs getting extremely weak as she held her breath, averting her gaze toward Jackson, who was now in his trousers.
“Jacks… Jackson what…”
“Charlotte! It’s not what you think, okay.”
Quickly, Jackson cut Charlotte off from completing her phrase.
