LOGINRestless, Emily was stunned by herself but she didn't have any time to think about it thoroughly.
Charles's charisma was so bewitching and truly irresistible.
The door automatically closed and the 'tick' sound followed.
It locked automatically too.
She looked at him again in disbelief and at the same time full of enthusiasm.
Her affectionate eyes didn't want to leave his gorgeous face like she couldn't get enough of him.
She was afraid his face would disappear.
Obviously, she could not believe Charle’s sudden appearance.
Feeling the comfort of her seat and the explicit air freshener in his car, Emily confirmed that she was inside a car.
Her mind became haywire and instantly panicked upon realizing what she got herself into.
What would she do if it was all in her mind?
What if her mind is tricking her?
She just entered a man's car.
What if it’s not Charles?
What if this man is the pervert guy?
She just provoked him through text so maybe he wanted to prove to her that she was wrong!
Or he is here to kidnap her and teach her a lesson!
She seriously hurt that man’s ego by calling his threshold a cutie patootie.
She suddenly felt panicked as cold sweats suddenly appeared all over her body.
'Oh no!'
'Come to your senses now, Emily!'
She quickly held her burning cheeks, pressed them tightly against her palms, closed her eyes, breathed heavily and repeatedly and when she found her balance, she slowly opened her eyes.
But then Charles’s beautiful face didn't change.
Emily did it again.
She still didn’t want to believe that Charles Adam was with her.
When she opened her eyes, he was still there.
She did it again for the third time.
At this time, she pressed her cheeks harder against her palms until it hurt her jaw.
Then she opened her eyes again.
Charles was unmoved.
He was still sitting elegantly looking at her embarrassing actions.
He is real!
He is inside his sportscar with her!
'Gosh!'
He is really Charles Adam!
She suddenly felt shy and nervous.
Her cheeks instantly turned crimson.
Trying her best to compose herself in front of the man she loved secretly, she smiled at her prettiest as she could.
Her eyes were blinking cutely at him then she raised her right hand and waved at him cutely.
"Hi..." She hummed trying to introduce herself but she realized she needed more courage.
Her excitement was too overwhelming and at the same time, her nervousness was eating her up.
Emily paused trying to cool down, hesitated for a while then she continued giving it another try.
"I... I'm Emily… Emily Greyson," She staggered as her heart was pounding nervously.
Finally, she let out her name but she wasn’t satisfied.
Emily wanted to add more so with her cutest possible look, “I am your number 1 fan.” With her eyes sparked full of excitement, Emily could not help but giggle.
She smiled sweetly again showing him that she really liked him a lot.
Emily could not hide her affection toward him and she didn’t plan to hide it either.
Charles just looked at her very dignified with her black mobbed neck shirt and coat.
This plain clothing made him already a very eye-catching guy.
After her introduction, Charles smirked meaningfully.
His eyes were deep and serious.
Then, with his magnetic voice, he said, “And I’m...” He paused intentionally while his meaningful eyes locked on hers.
Then he smirked again before he continued, “… the pervert,”
It was a very brief introduction but it made Emily out of breath.
******************************************
Earlier in the morning…
Under the heat of summer in Nixon City, loud screaming and giggling were heard everywhere as their screams reached the neighboring planets.
These were the crazy and obsessed fans of Charles Adam.
He is the superstar!
The most handsome man and the sexiest in the universe for many.
The most sought-after bachelor in the city and abroad.
His enchanting charm captured all genders.
Young and old women and even the LGBTQ community were highly fascinated by his perfect looks and body.
No wonder, his I*******m followers reached out to 500 million.
Aside from that, he is the most searched celebrity on the internet every day.
Everybody wanted to have a piece of his everyday life and thanks to all his many paparazzies.
Some said it was only his fans who made him a superstar.
Others said, he really has a genuine talent.
Charles only appeared once in one of his family’s business billboards and he quickly became the most praised human being on the planet.
How lucky!
His hot endorsement photo spread on the internet like wildfire overnight.
[Oh gosh! This guy! I want him to be my husband so bad!]
[Come to me! I will your forever slave. I will do everything you want!]
[Finally, I find my baby boy! Such a pretty boy! Take my virginity please!!!]
[I am willing to break up my boyfriend for you!]
[Your body is so tempting! Can I touch it, please? I can go to heaven if I can!”
[Just one night, please. I can be your secret lover and I promise no one will know about our affair. I will be an obedient lover.]
[If you are mine, I will lock you up in my bed the whole day! We will have sex all day and all night. I will pleasure you all the time and how you want it. I can do everything for you. I will be the best to comply with your sexual needs!]
[I love you, Charles Adam!]
[I can die if you give me a baby, please!]
[You are the only man I will fall for! I am super-duper in love with you!]
At that time, the internet had gone into shambles because of a single picture of him wearing a very plain-fitted white sports shirt and pants while playing golf with his friends.
It was enough for the ladies to go crazy with his sexy muscles outlined perfectly underneath his fitted shirt.
He looked so cool and comfortable in his sports suit and it seemed that the company succeeded in its purpose of this endorsement since the next day, the news announced that Diamond Trendline sportswear collections were sold out.
This collection wasn’t cheap nonetheless it was the most expensive sportswear in the city and the brand was also renowned around the globe.
The funny thing there, he seemed to be photographed without him knowing it.
The photo of Charles was perfectly captured.
He was holding a golf club swaying in the air to hit a ball and his look there was so sexily dashing.
Then his photos appeared in huge billboards in the city and the same pictures were spread around the country.
On this day, everyone was present in the huge Nixon Square just to witness the short appearance of the most famous heartthrob superstar in the city and that was none other than, Charles Adam.
The city held its Charter anniversary so the mayor took the advantage to introduce the members of his allies for the next election.
However, he was quite sure that if they would just go on with the boring formal event, nobody would want to come and if there were, those were just his employees of the city so they needed to get the superstar Charles to allure the crowd and he succeeded.
Even if Charles just gave them 3 minutes of his appearance through his manager, the mayor personally took that very short chance rather than nothing at all.
Charles is arrogant!
The mayor thought but then, he could not argue with him nor summon him using his power as the mayor of the city.
The mayor was also well aware of Charles’s family background.
He is not just a superstar but his family is the richest in the city.
They almost owned the whole country with their huge multi-billion-dollar conglomerates.
Starting from their gigantic malls around their country and abroad, the media and fashion world, the huge airlines and shipping industry, the oil industry, the construction field, luxurious hotels and resorts, and even the medical institutions and elite schools.
If not for his family’s help, the mayor would not have his high political position right now.
No… if not Master Frederick Adam had appointed him as the mayor of the city, he would not be in his position right now.
He was not enjoying the liberty of the position if it weren’t for Charles’s family.
The mayor would not dare to offend the Adam specially Charles Adam who was heard to be the heir of the Adam soon.
Just thinking about offending the Adams, the Mayor felt a chill down his spine and goosebumps appeared all over his skin.
He heaved a heavy sigh before he signaled his secretary to start the program.
“I LOVE YOU CHARLES ADAM! I LOVE YOU, MY DARLING SUPERSTAR!!!”
Among the wild and noisy crowd was none other than, Emily Greyson, one of his avid fans.
Six years ago, Emily had escaped the flames.Brian had been her lifeline. He contacted her before the wedding day, and together they plotted a plan. When the car exploded at the university, she used the secret passage in the old building, pulling herself away from the chaos. The remains left behind, the dismantled CCTV cameras, and the falsified investigation report… all orchestrated by Brian’s uncle, the head of the investigation department… were designed to convince the world she had died.Emily ran away with a shattered heart, but her spirit was hopeful. For the first time, she tasted freedom… the life she had always wanted, away from the Adams.Brian took over his father’s company abroad, starting from scratch. Emily stood beside him, helping him build it until they grew together into success.When the news reached them that Warren had lost his legs and was now totally paralyzed, Brian felt justice had been served. Warren had once burned their family’s house out of jealousy, forci
The next morning, the world was ablaze with headlines. Every major station, magazine, and online platform was filled with images of Charles…his anguished cries, his desperate fight at the burning wreckage. Search engines overflowed with clips of him kneeling, screaming Emily’s name. The superstar was trending everywhere, not for his fame or fortune, but for his heartbreak.Later that day, in a massive venue packed with reporters, anchors, and flashing cameras, Charles strode onto the stage. He wore a pristine white suit, his presence commanding, his face effortlessly handsome like a Greek god carved in marble. His walk was unhurried, his aura cool and controlled. The clicking of cameras filled the air as the crowd held its breath.He sat down, exhaling heavily, frustration etched across his features. His eyes were deep, shadowed from sleepless nights, filled with sorrow and determination. Slowly, he raised a photo. It was Emily.“I am looking for this woman,” his voice rang out, stead
Emily’s arms tightened around him, her body trembling. She didn’t look back. She couldn’t. Every step away from Charles felt like a knife cutting deeper into her chest, but she forced herself forward. This was her sacrifice. She didn’t turn around, didn’t glance back. Her eyes burned with tears she refused to let fall.Warren dragged Emily toward his car, his grip possessive, his madness unrelenting. “Come on, love. Our honeymoon starts now. Forget him. He’s nothing. You chose me, remember?” His voice was both triumphant and broken, as if he couldn’t believe his victory was real.Emily’s heart twisted as she glanced back at the church façade. Charles was still inside. Her lips trembled as she whispered so softly only she could hear, “Forgive me, Charles…”Warren’s car sped away into the day.Inside, the priest and his assistant rushed to help Charles stand. His body staggered under the weight of pain, but his eyes burned with fury. He pulled out his phone, his voice sharp and commandi
“I said skip to it, Father! Finish this ceremony right now!” Warren barked, his voice echoing through the church. He didn’t care what Emily said anymore. He didn’t want to waste time. For him, the only thing that mattered was marrying her today so Charles could never take her away.The priest’s hands trembled as he lifted the book. His voice shook. “Now I pronounce you husband and…”“Stop this nonsense wedding right now!”The doors burst open with a force like a storm. Everyone froze. Emily’s eyes widened as she turned toward the voice. Her heart leapt.It was Charles.She never thought he could find them so quickly. She had believed she would be trapped, forced into marriage with Warren. But Charles had come. He was alive, unbroken, defiant. He had escaped his grandfather’s men.“Charles!!!” Warren’s face twisted in shock. His words tumbled out in a rush. “How did you get here so fast? I changed the church! How, Charles, how? Why are you here? Can’t you just let the priest finish our
The gunshot echoed like thunder.For a moment, no one moved. The room froze in silence, every breath held. Nancy’s trembling hands lowered slightly, her eyes wide, her face pale. The gun slipped from her grip and clattered to the floor.Charles stood still, his forehead untouched, his chest rising and falling with steady breaths. Emily clung to him, her heart pounding so hard she thought it might burst.Then the chaos broke. The old man’s men rushed forward, seizing Nancy before she could reach for the weapon again. She screamed, her voice cracking between laughter and sobs. “No! Let me go! Charles, you’re mine! You’re mine!” Her words dissolved into madness as she struggled against their grip.The old man’s cane struck the floor, his voice sharp and commanding. “Enough! Take her away!” His men obeyed, dragging Nancy out as she kicked and screamed, her cries echoing down the hall until they faded.Emily’s knees weakened. Charles could have died. She looked at his back and silently tha
The old man’s men surged forward, their hands reaching to tear Emily away from Charles. But Charles held her tight, pulling her to the side, trying to shield her from their grasp.“Charles, let go of Emily! I don’t want you to get hurt!” Nancy cried out, her voice trembling with worry.“Emily, come back to me! Let go of Charles now!” Warren shouted, desperate to seize the chance he thought had opened for him.Emily’s chest tightened. She looked at Charles, overwhelmed by his determination to protect her. She didn’t know how to thank him, didn’t know how to express the flood of emotions inside her.“Emily, hold my hand tightly and let’s go!” Charles urged, snapping her back to her senses. He dragged her toward the other side of the room, but another group of men blocked their path. The old man had anticipated this. He was ready.The men closed in, their eyes fixed on Emily. Charles stepped forward, driving her behind him.“Emily… is this what you want?” The old man’s voice cut through
