THE HEIR'S VENDETTA CHAPTER 112
"Ma'm, there's a lady out here asking for you" "I'm in the middle of a fitting and half naked in a changing room. What could be so important?" Charlotte asked not to turn as she arranged the hand of her dress. "Uh, it's..." “Hi” Carla's voice came from the doorway of the dressing room. Charlotte's eyes raised up to look at Carla from the mirrors surrounding her. She sighed and took off the dress she was wearing before picking up another from the hanger close to her. "Thank you Tasha, I'll take it from here. I will be needing another glass of champagne" Charlotte said. "I will be right back" the attendant Tasha said and closed the door, leaving the two women who were at loggerheads together in the room alone. “Are you stalking me now?” Charlotte asked in a very bored tone as she tried on a new dress, not wanting to pay attention to Carla's presence or even throw her the slightest look she could mutter or glance her way. Carla's hand went to her still flat belly instinctivel

"Good morning to you all, Elena, please get me my coffee. The marketing team can go ahead with their presentation. Remember one more mistake and in trashing it, your only saving grace is today. Please proceed" Alphonse said and an intern started to set out the plans in front of him. The head of the marketing team stood up and went to the front of the projector. She turned down the lights and was about to begin before she stopped. "Don't start!" The small sing-song voice filled the room. All eyes turned to the source of the voice and Alphonse looked up from the presentation plans. She had been on his mind all these while but today was the last day he was expecting to see her, but she had a new habit of arriving when least expected of late. "Getting the party started without the host? That's corny Alphonse, you plan on betraying me again?" Charlotte said, smiling prettily as she came inside the boardroom, standing at the other end of the table, directly opposite Alphonse. "Charlot

Alphonse swallowed and nodded once before stepping back, he didn't need to be near her with the rage that filled him.“What so you’re using him for his money or he has you for your body?” Alphonse asked disrespectfully, wanting to make her feel the same pain he was feeling.Charlotte's head whipped to face him, not expecting such words from him but at the same time she wanted to push him more since she saw he was getting more angry.“I’m building bridges” she shrugged, a small smile creeping on her lips slowly.Alphonse laughed and shook his head, she was really getting on his last nerve and breaking his resolve.“So you being with him is for connections and what nots?” He asked to be sure he was not hearing her wrong before he said what his anger was pushing him to do.“If you choose to put it that way” Charlotte shrugged lazily and arranged her hair.Alphonse groaned and put his hand on his hips, finally choosing to do what he struggled against.“You are choosing to be a slut for mo

"Happy married life man. Look at you now a husband and an expecting father. At least you have something to calm you down now" Alphonse said loudly and a little tipsy as he and Paul shook hands and hugged each other happily."I'm just blessed man, I am a very blessed man. My mother is with me, I've got a stable job, a happy family, a baby on the way and a Mrs Warner. I can't count my blessing enough" Paul said cheerily."I'm happy for you man" Alphonse said.It was Paul and Jillian's wedding today. Paul had married the nurse he had hired to take care of his mother and a romance story blossomed from there.His mother was happy welcoming guests and the whole hall was happy as they enjoyed the after party.Alphonse was so happy for Paul that he had taken way too much alcohol than he was supposed to and right now his blood was warm with excitement."So, my mother asked to give you this as a wedding gift since she could not be here." Alphonse said and handed him a wrapped box."Oh Hannah,

"Baby" Charlotte murmured and stirred in her sleep, Alphonse who was sleeping peacefully beside her awoke by her movements."Don't let go" she mumbled quietly, and if Alphonse had not been silent and paying attention he would not have caught it.Slowly he raised himself up on one hand and propped his head on his palm while he stared at her.It was dawn already and small rays of sunlight strayed into the room from the blinds. It seemed Tina had come in and closed it properly so the could have a good sleep and not get blindsided by the sun when it was time to feel the hang over from last night.Last night.Alphonse thought about it and smiled, his memories of how they got home last night were scattered and if he was on good terms with Peter, the old man would have filled him in on all that had happened already.Alphonse's finger traced some strands of her red hair that had strayed to her face, her pushed the hair back and away from her face to get a better view.She slept so gently and

"Hey""Hey""What are you doing here?""I was not expecting to see you," they both said in unison."I think we both know the answer to our questions, " Alphonse said and Charlotte chuckled."Yeah," she said, smiling."I called after you left mine that morning but you never answered" Alphonse said and Charlotte nodded slowly."I was away in Greece, for business. With Dante" as she added the last part Alphonse nodded quickly, wishing he had not brought up that line of conversation."Right. No alcohol today?" He said as he pointed at her glass and both of them laughed, they both understood the inside joke."I do not want to end up in your bed again" Charlotte said and Alphonse laughed but something witty came to his mind at that exact moment."Yeah, imagine what Dante would say if he found out." He said and Charlotte almost choked on her wine."Shut up you fool" she said to him through gritted teeth."Say I tell him now, I walk up to him and say "sup man, did you know your girl was in my

Charlotte cleared her throat and arranged her hair, fixing her gown at the same time.“Dante” she called the name of her lover, wondering if she had seen them kissing.The tall bulky Dante looked between Alphonse and Charlotte.“Is this man harassing you?” Dante asked, pointing an accusing finger at Alphonse who only scrunched his brows in amusement and surprise."Uh, no. We were just having a friendly chat" she said and looked at Alphonse quickly and looking away. "Do you want a drink?" She asked Dante, forcing a smile in his direction."Yes my love, I'll join you" Dante said and Charlotte took that as her cue to leave the two men in the room alone.Alphonse felt a pang of hurt as Charlotte referred to him as a "friend"."Stay away from my girl Senator" Dante said as soon as the door closed."Your girl?" Alphonse raised a brow and stick his hands in his pockets."My girl, my woman" Dante repeated. "I see you around her, lusting for her attention, begging to be seen by her. I see all

Eight fifteen, the time read. Alphonse checked his wristwatch, she was fifteen minutes late, but that was typical of women so he sighed and came down from his car. She would be here any time now. He stood staring at the restaurant he and Charlotte used to frequent when she was with him, two years ago. One day he had decided to visit the local market for a little stroll and on his way home, he saw that the small restaurant was closing down. When he inquired, he was told the owner had lost his wife and was running bankrupt after clearing their mortgage since they had no children. Alphonse wasted no time in buying the place and offering the man times two of the money and clearing off the rest of his debts. He sighed and looked inside the restaurant he had renovated to his taste, on some days the food was free to the public and on the days it was not, he made sure every food item sold to people was very cheap so every one could afford it and the manger could pay the workers when he
