Charlotte got home that morning and Wendy was there to ask about how his encounter with her uncle went.

"Charlotte, talk to me, what happened?" Wendy asked gently and added; "Why the long face?"

"Apparently Uncle Reddington said he was going to think about what I had told him and I wish he would allow me to fall in love with Pete in peace." Charlotte stated.

"I am not sure your dad would want that from you. He might punish you if he gets to know about what you have done, which is why I am going to keep it a secret for your sake because I love you Charlotte." Wendy uttered.

"Thank you aunt Wendy, I thank you so much, I love you too. I wish I could talk to Mommy about all of this but I just can't because she wants power just like dad, and it's driving me crazy. Why can't she just be content with what she already has? It is not like the company isn't giving them a fair share. They are rich. They could travel around the world with no questions asked but I do not know what more they need."

Have you ever cared about my personal life? Have you ever cared about what I am thinking, the kind of life I want for myself? You and dad are very much alike, so don't act like you are any different. I hate both of you, so get out of my room now." Charlotte Chase stated."How dare you talk to me like that? This is your mother talking to you, not some servant or whatever, this isn't Wendy talking to you, this is your mother. I gave birth to you, I took you in my womb for nine months. I would suggest you talk to me with some little bit of respect." Nancy Chase for the first time ever yelled at her daughter."You better talk to dad because if something were to happen to Pete I will not forgive both of you for that."

    "Sir, I found a little bit of an update about him. But as for his true identity, well that remains a mystery." Investigator Tommy utters."I am all ears." Jordan uttered sternly."He has guards surrounding him and he attended a wedding just yesterday in a private cruise putting on the most expensive outfit there is and he was escorted by lots and lots of guards, to make things even more interesting, he drove a Lexus RX300 latest brand and more expensive cars were his convoy. I believe he is someone very powerful that we cannot just put an end to." Investigator Tommy conveyed."How is that possible? He looked like an ordinary person the last time I saw him at dinner. Besides, from what you had earlier told me, how could a constructor who cannot afford such an outfit look like this, so who is he really?" Jordan said looking at the photos that were taken."I believe he's someone we do not want to get entangled with, he must be a rich man, a very powerful one at that." Investigator Tommy

Leonard Cooper asked."I'm pretty sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Where are you going, all dressed up? This is nothing more than 6:00 a.m. in the morning. And from what I know you have nothing to do at the company and there are no deals, at least none that I know of, for you to embark on in another country, so tell me, where are you truly going to."

You are no longer a single man, you are a married man. If you are planning to leave the house you should tell me where you are going, how hard could that be? You just left me alone without even caring to inform me of your whereabouts." Yvonne uttered sternly."I am not a child am I? Besides I wanted to clear my head, you have been down ever since you saw your ex-husband look different and rich. I am pretty sure you are regretting the fact that you got married to me." Oliver Dwayne retorted."Mr Oliver Dwayne, what with this new attitude of yours yes. Of course I'm surprised about Warrick coming to our wedding as a new person but the

    "I want you to take note of something. I am not scared of you, Mr Carlos. I know what you are capable of, but I am not in any way worried, not even scared of you in the slightest. I never came through the door because your daughter is scared of you, she pleads with me not to show my face that you wouldn't allow it." Peterson uttered."For a good reason, you are a poor person.

    "That's really bad, doesn't he know it wasn't your fault?" Karen asked, staring at her niece waiting for an explanation."Of course he does, he saw me the next day on that same bed naked. He assured me everything was going to be fine and that he wouldn't call off the wedding in order to protect our families and our faces. Didn't know that he meant he said. He doesn't even care about me personally, he sees me differently from that day henceforth, I can feel it." Yvonne uttered."I am sure he is just trying to cool off because no man would see his wife or woman on another man's bed and be still about it, unless of course he doesn't love you." Karen retorted."So are you saying he loves me?" Yvonne uttered sternly."Why else would he say those words? When even he, is nothing to write home about? Sorry that came out wrong but truth be told he isn't a saint." Karen retorted."So what do I do aunt? I really want to work things out with him. I don't want this marriage to end just as soon as
