Ill have someone guide the narrative . Just stay off your phone for a while . I slowly shook my head , my vision blurring . Charles , youve ruined me . His expression remained unreadable . Only his irritated voice reached my ears . I told you Id handle it . Why are you making a scene ? This wouldnt have happened if you hadnt acted recklessly in the first place . Charlotte Edwards , get it straight I threw you into this mess , its because you deserved it . A sharp ringing filled my ears . I let out a bitter laugh . Charles , lets get a divorce . He chuckled , his voice indulgent yet dismissive .. Youre just emotional right now . Go ahead , vent if you need to . He was certain I wouldnt actually leave him , acting like some magnanimous benefactor tolerating my outburst . In his laughter , I found an eerie sense of calm . Just then , a doctor called out from across the room . Charlotte Edwards , come get your test results . 08:50 Dancing into the Heart of Mr. Cold 0.7 % Chapter 2 Charles hesitated , then followed me . What test results ? Charles , a soft voice called from behind . Olivia stood at the hospital room door , looking at him expectantly . Charles immediately turned away from me and walked toward her . Olivia , why are you out here alone ? Go back and lie down . Dragging my legs.numb from the pain , I walked in the exact opposite direction of him . It felt like stepping on blades . Every step cut through my flesh and bone . Every step pierced my heart . The doctor told me I had to rest for the next month otherwise , I could forget about dancing ever again . I took a cab home , facing the cold , empty house alone . Because our marriage was a secret , Charles and I had separate residences . He deliberately chose the apartment right above mine . The first night after moving in , he had pinned me against the wall and kissed me . This way , I can sneak into your bed every night . He seemed to have an obsession with this kind of secret affair , a game of sneaking around . I thought it was just a quirk hidden beneath his serious exterior . I never realized that sneaking around was simply his nature . Once he got tired of me , he fell for someone fresher Olivia . At nine in the evening , Charles arrived with a bag of fruit . Charlotte Edwards , I bought cherries for you. Want some now ? I tossed my phone in front of him . The screen displayed Olivias latest Instagram post . I told him I wanted something sour and sweet like cherries , and he bought me these big ones instead . Olivia didnt want them , so now youre giving them to me as charity ? Charles frowned . Dont be like this … He stepped closer , wrapping an arm around my waist intimately .
