Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Heartbroken
Charlotte had crashed her car.

As she lay on the operating table, all she could think about was the photo she'd seen right before the accident.

The one of Arthur holding another woman, looking at her like she meant everything to him.

She couldn't get it out of her head - how gently he held her, the way his eyes lit up.

She'd been so shocked looking at it, she didn't even see the other car coming.

She might be his wife, but that woman was clearly the one he truly loved.

Five years of marriage, and he'd never once looked at Charlotte that way.

Just thinking about it made her chest ache.

Now his first love was back in the picture, and Charlotte had to wonder if she even mattered to him anymore.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind. She needed to know if he still had feelings for her at all.

When she opened her eyes, she was met with a stark white ceiling, and confusion washed over her.

"You're awake," a deep, cold voice said from beside her.

Charlotte turned to see a face set like stone.

His features were sharp and chiseled, his expression impossible to read. Though his eyes seemed capable of warmth, they held none of it now as they stared at her.

Charlotte blinked, confused. "Who are you?"

She looked around, lost. "Where am I?"

Charlotte gripped the bedsheet tightly, his words hitting her hard.

She gave a bitter laugh. This was her own flesh and blood, the baby she'd carried for nine months. Yet here he was, refusing to even look at her while she lay injured in bed.

Like father, like son - both of them completely wrapped up in Sarah Miller.

People always said boys never really get their mothers. Now she felt the sting of what her own kid had become. Arthur had always been cold, and here was Julius, turning out just like him. At home, he barely acknowledged her, and in public, he acted like she was just some housewife who didn't matter.

Charlotte felt something inside her go cold.

If they thought she was worthless, fine. She'd leave them to it.

Thinking this, Charlotte made a silent decision in her heart.
