Elijah's POVAs he was waiting for his maid to finish cooking, he went into his room to retrieve some medicine. He always kept medicine in his room due to the sudden illnesses that he would often experience as a result of working long hours.After collecting the medicine, he returned to Charlotte's room. She was wide awake and looking around."Take this medicine after you eat." He placed the medicine on the table beside the bed."Where am I?"He raised an eyebrow, noticing her reaction to the room."In your room.""My room?" She looked at him in confusion."Yes, this is your room now.""Meaning, this is the room next to your room?" She nodded. "I thought I'd be sleeping in your room.""I thought you didn't want to be near me? So, why ask?""I mean, didn't you want to make it easier in case our families called?"He sighed. "Perhaps you would prefer to have your room if you do n

Elijah's POVElijah and Charlotte left the house separately after breakfast. Though he intended to drop her off at the tricycle station, Charlotte turned down his offer to drive to the bus stop with him.His security guard was waiting for him at the entrance as he reached the building where he had parked his car. After giving the keys to the security guard, he entered the company. He glanced at his watch and realized he wasn't quite late."Give me the important papers that I will sign today," he instructed his secretary without stopping as he walked into the office.His secretary came in as he was sitting down, bringing paperwork he needed to sign, including a few of his papers from the previous day due to his busy schedule with work and his upcoming wedding to Charlotte."Thank you."He began looking at the files once his secretary left. Two hours later, the pressure from bending his head caused him to lean back in his chair. He knew that if he didn't straighten his head, he might de

Charlotte's POVShe turned to face the woman behind her who was speaking, and she noticed that she was being examined from head to toe. The woman was dressed entirely in black, except for her skin and her red hair tied up high, giving her the appearance of a street villain. She also wore heavy black makeup, including lipstick. "Again. Who are you?" the woman asked again. She couldn't talk, afraid that a mistake in her answer would cause the woman in front of her to shout at her."Are you dumb?" the woman asked, her brow furrowing even more. She shakes her head. "So. Why don't you try to answer my question? Who are you?" "Charlotte," she answered. The woman's eyes narrowed as she approached her slowly, causing her to blink slightly as her face came closer to hers. "Seriously, your face is so smooth. Do you have skincare?" She furrowed her brow. "No.""What?" She almost closed her eyes, surprised by her scream. "That's unfair, you know. Look at my face; I've used so many products

Charlotte's POVShe didn't know how to react to Elijah's sister's request to temporarily use her room."Don't mind her.""Is what she said true?"Elijah sighed. "Will you agree for her to stay there for now? But she doesn't want to have a roommate, so you'll sleep here in this room, next to me."She glanced at Elijah's bed and grimaced.She did have a room, but she had only used it once, and now, because of Elijah's sister, she would sleep there."So, Charlotte? Are you okay with that? If you're not comfortable sleeping next to me, I can sleep in the living room."She shook her head. "It's okay.""Are you sure?""Yes.""Okay. I'll just change, then we'll go down together."She nodded. Elijah went to the cabinet and grabbed clothes to change before heading to the bathroom.She picked up the picture frame she dropped when the siblings entered earlier. It was their wedding picture, with no smiles on their faces. It was displayed in Elijah's room, but she didn't notice it when she entered

Charlotte's POV:As she was about to drift off to sleep, Elijah suddenly coughed, startling her as she hadn't expected it.She adjusted her blanket, but he coughed again, so she looked at Elijah. She saw that he was sitting up halfway, and as he coughed again, he glanced in her direction."Did I wake you up? Sorry.""I was about to fall asleep; I was just surprised by your cough.""Sorry, it looks like I might be coming down with a cold."She noticed that Elijah's eyes suddenly dimmed, even though he seemed fine earlier. Illnesses just suddenly strike, so it's surprising how the body's condition can change."Maybe you caught it from me. You were so close to me the other night."He leaned back against the headboard and closed his eyes. "I don't know."She hugged her knees to her chest, thinking about how Elijah could have caught her illness. She furrowed her brow but couldn't figure it out, yet maybe it was her breath or her proximity during a conversation that got him sick."Why don't
