Chapter 56
Rowan sat down on a chair in a bar drinking some beer when he heard someone called his name. It’s been long he heard the voice but he definitely remembers who it belongs to.
He turned and there stood Charlotte smiling at him. Rowan smiled back and stood up to hug her.
“Wow! You’re the least person I expect to see here. Who told you I was here?” Rowan asked and Charlotte smiled.
“I just came in for a couple of shots and I see a head that looks like yours” Charlotte teased and Rowan laughs.
“Come have a sit, it’s been long. How long have it been , 3 years?. Chase told me you came back though but I have been too busy”
“I’ll take that as an apology” Charlotte said to him and waved at the bartender to get her a drink.
Rowan take has time to look at Charlotte and he noticed that she have really changed alot. Actually, he have likes Charlotte right from when they’re kids, but Charlotte prefers Chase instead and she couldn’t take it when she found out Chase was in love with her twin sister instead.
“Stop taking off my clothes with your eyes” Charlotte smirked at him and Rowan g looked away smiling.
“I heard you’re now into the family business, that’s a big step and I didn’t expect that from you”
“Well, thank you” Rowan said and raise his glass cup as they cheers.
“Charlotte, I know you weren’t passing by. You’re still that terrible liar that I know. What do you want? ”
Charlotte smiled and drop her glass, Ofcourse how will she think she can deceive Rowan easily. He knows her more than anyone else.
“Well, since you catch me, I think I’ll have to speak up then” She smirked.
Charlotte opened her hand bag and bring out a cigarette, she put it in her mouth and motioned on the bartender to hand her a lighter, which when was given to her, she light the stick of cigarette.
“I wanna talk about your brother, Chase” she said after taken in some smoke and blowing them out.
“You still haven’t find the one? ” Rowan told her in a tone of mockery and Charlotte pinched him jokingly.
“Not when Chase is still alive” She said.
Rowan nodded and look away, Ofcourse he knew she’s here to convince her to talk to Chase for her.
Rowan just couldn’t pull herself to understand why Charlotte had refused to accept the hard truth that Chase doesn’t love her.
He understands the fact that she doesn’t give up easily and will always go a long way to get what she wants, same time, he thinks she just have to accept the bitter truth.
If Chase really loves her, he wouldn’t have chose her sister in the first place no matter what and even still, Chase never talk about her and have always sees her as a sister. More like his girlfriend’s sister.
“What do you wanna talk about?” Rowan asked and drink from his glass.
“You know the girl in his house?”
“Calista? His girlfriend…?” Rowan asked and Charlotte eyes boiled in anger.
“Girlfriend? You’re joking right! Chase clearly told me she’s just his slave, she’s paying for a debt her stupid family is owning”Charlotte yelled.
“Calm yourself girl! Even if she’s once his slave, she’s his girlfriend now” Rowan smirks.
“No she’s not, don’t fuck with me now Rowan.” Charlotte said almost breaking down.
“Okay, I was kidding. But I know she’ll be his girlfriend sooner, I don’t understand it but Chase is really possessive of her” Rowan told her.
Charlotte nodded and just looked away, She still doesn’t under why Chase will even fall in love with someone like her.
Angered with jealousy, Charlotte drink the last glass of wine on her table.
“Don’t get drunk. I won’t drive you home” Rowan said and she just rolled her eyes.
“I need your help.” She said.
Rowan sighed and turn to look at her, she’s always needing his help to do only bad things.
“I can’t help you Charlotte. You should just give up on Chase, he doesn’t love you.”
“Shut up”She cursed and looked down.
“What you said earlier… Is Chase really dating her?” She asked.
She hopes he’ll say no, it can’t be a yes. Even though she felt relieved after seeing the look on Calista’s face this morning… Leaving her in the rain is one of the sweetest thing to her.
But now, the happiness in her is all gone. Maybe it’s time she just walk up to Chase and tell him how she feels.
She had hold unto this feeling for a really long time, hoping Chase will discover it in his way. She’s determined to do everything possible just to be with him.
She don’t mind the fact that he’s a Mafia Boss, she just want to be with him. Chase belongs to her and if anyone try to take him away from her just the same way Madison did, then she’ll make sure the person ends up the same way Madison did.
Charlotte had thought… Or was happy when Madison was announced died in the hospital, she had thought that with her death she’ll stand the chance to win Chase over again.
But maybe, that was a lie! Things ain’t going to way she wants it. Maybe she shouldn’t have left to the city after Madison’s first anniversary.
Maybe she should have stayed and Chase will love her. Just Maybe!
“No, I was kidding. But I’m not kidding when I said that part that Chase is possessive of her. I don’t know what you’re thinking Charlotte, but you don’t try anything stupid”.
“I’m not doing anything”.
“I know you more than you even no yourself… Don’t get into Chase’s bad book or he’ll make life a living hell for you”.
Charlotte turned sharply and furiously at Rowan. She grind her teeth together.
“I told you , I’m not doing anything”. Without waiting for anymore response..
Charlotte stood up with her bag and walked out of the bar.
