“Remember your promise!”
Zachary reached his hands into her pajamas and started caressing her again.
Feeling the touch of his hand, Charlotte melted into his embrace.
Her freedom could only be earned through her acquiescence.
When she finally left the villa, Charlotte felt as if she was walking out of prison. There was a sense that she had been reborn.
Winding down the car window, she closed her eyes while letting her face soak in the warm sunshine and gentle wind. She savored every bit of freedom she had regained.
Raina informed Charlotte cordially, “Ms. Windt, a new accommodation has been arranged for you. Going forward, no one will know where you stay other than Mr. Nacht.”
Stunned, Charlotte asked in surprise, “What? I didn't ask you to do that. Besides, I just rented a new place myself.”
“We have returned your new rental on your behalf,” Raina explained. “The Whites, the Sterlings, and the Browns all know your address. Hence, it's not safe for you to stay there.”
“But...”
“Don't worry,” Raina added. “Although Mr. Nacht bought the house for you, he will not go over there. Hence, you and your children can stay there in peace. If Mr. Nacht wants to see you, I will come and pick you up.”
“I understand.”
Charlotte didn't say another word. Although she felt uncomfortable being watched to this extent, there was little else she could do.
There was just no escape from Zachary's grasp.
Given that he assumed the children were someone else's, she realized she was still lucky to receive such treatment.
Now that the secret had been revealed, there is no longer any need to be discreet. I can live my life without any shame, isn't that a good thing?
Although her relationship with Zachary was a strange one, she expected it to only be temporary.
She presumed that there was a limit to a man's sense of novelty. Once it wore off, he would abandon her heartlessly and she would get her freedom back.
