I'm an illegitimate

Third Person POV

"What? You will what?"

"I will raise my child." His eyes beamed authority

"No." Charlotte began to feel scared. She didn't want Derik to lay claim on her baby at all, neither does she want her child to be called a bastard

"Please, Mr. Miller, let me go away with this Child." I said as my voice began to shake

"If I have to kidnap you, then I would Charlotte. Do you understand?"

Charlotte made no reply, the words had gone down her heart. 'Is this really happening to me? Is my Mother's fate going to resurface?' She thought

The next ride was a silent drive. Derik got to the school and Charlotte got out of the car. She didn't know what to say but one thing is for sure, she was not giving the baby up. She turned around and walked towards the school.

But not long after she walked, she heard something nearby, someone shouted "Charlotte?"She looked to the other side of the school gate.

There was a Bugatti parked by the road beside that car door a tall and handsome man leaned against the car and smiled at her with his arms crossed.

Charlotte saw him and was delighted, she ran over and hugged him tightly

From the Lamborgini parked opposite her, Derik's face went pale. 'Was that the oldest son of the Lockwood Family, Ethan Lockwood?' He thought. They seemed to have some connection together.

Charlotte left Ethan's arms and looked at him happily, he had just brightened Charlotte's mood. "Brother, But you said it would take two months for you to return to the country."

"Dad ordered me to be back early" He said with a smile

Her face froze, "I see"

"Do you want me to take you to see him?"

She shook her head slightly. "No, I don't want to see him."

" You still can't forgive him?"

"How can I forgive him, I know my place."

"Charlotte don't be like this. I have never treated you like an outsider." She nodded and smiled.

" I know" he turned to look at the Bentley that had just left. "Was the person in that car Derik Miller?"

"Yes." She answered

"How do you know him?"

"I'm his brother's tutor."

"Are you still working? The Card I gave you, are you still not using it?" She was silent and only smiled.

He sighed. "That's not the money from the Family, it's the pocket money I wanted to give to my sister"

"But your surname is Lockwood."

"Charlotte, Don't be so stubborn, I still feel sorry for you."

"What's there to feel sorry for? I really like my life right now, It's very fulfilling."

"If not this, then at least promise me to stay away from Derik Miller, he is very dangerous, he is not someone you should try to provoke. Do you understand?"

She laughed "I know, I'm not stupid."He rubbed her head

"Come and have dinner with me tomorrow.I'll pick you up when you're dismissed, what do you think?"

"No need, where are we going to eat? Just send me the address. I'll get there on my own."

Ethan frowned

She smiled and looked at the time, "Brother, I have to go to class, send me the address for the meal." She turned around and jogged back to the school.

Ethan turned his head and looked back toward the Lamborgini, which had disappeared a long time ago.

Derik Miller was not someone who had just dropped Charlotte off at school to be a good guy. "What was his agenda? Could it be that he had found out.....?" He muttered

Afternoon class ended, She was the first to rush out of the classroom because she still had to make Vincent Miller, Derik's brother, tutoring session.

The Villa in the middle of the Miller's Family Estate was very imposing. It was surrounded by four, two-story buildings. The first two buildings were occupied by Derik's younger siblings. Vincent and their younger sister. The second one used to be the second brother's residence, but after he got married he moved out to live with his family. The other building was the main building of the Miller family Villa and it belonged to Derik because the Derik siblings each had their own independent residents.

She stared at the mansion, She never would have guessed that she would be pregnant for Derik, especially in the manner of just a few days. She went straight to Vincent's residence, hoping not to clash with Derik. when she arrived at the door of his study.she heaved a sigh of relief and knocked on the door, "come in." A voice answered from inside.

She Stopped at the door for a moment, "was that Derik's voice?" she thought

She pushed the door open and as expected, She had not heard wrong, Vincent was not there. The person sitting in the front of the desk, with a book in his hands was Derik, "Mr. Miller, What are you doing here?"

Derik said calmly "This is my house. I'm waiting for you." He says mischeviously

"Waiting for me?"

"Of course. From now on, I think you should stay here and focus more on helping Vincent with his studies, additionally, I would get to monitor my child's development"

"Live here!" She exclaimed

He looked at her with a gaze that said 'Yes'

"But...No, thanks?"

"What do you mean by 'but'? look here Charlotte, I need you to understand that I'm doing this for my brother and mainly because of my child "

"And that is the problem, Mr. Miller. Actually, you see, I'm not really a Jenner."

His eyes turned at her, to continue, "I'm partly a Lockwood, even though my surname is Jenner, I am an illegitimate daughter of James Lockwood, your biggest enemy. It's complicated enough that we have spent the night together. I can't live here because of that

"You are what?" His eyes turned in surprise "A Lockwood?"
