Chapter 57

Evander walked into Charlotte’s bedroom, only to catch her in the middle of taking her medicine.

Startled, Charlotte quickly shoved the bottle out of sight. But he strode over in an instant and seized her wrist, his eyes sharp and unyielding. “What are you hiding?”

She shrank away from his grip, wincing in pain. “Let go of me.”

“Are you the one who drugged me?” His accusation sliced through her, leaving her heart in tatters. She let out a bitter, incredulous laugh. “Evander, you think I drugged you? Am I some kind of masochist, just waiting for you to treat me like this?”

“Who knows? Maybe you’re hoping to get pregnant with my child.” His nonchalance stung far more than anger ever could.

Charlotte opened her hand, revealing a bottle of birth control pills. “Sorry to disappoint you. That’s not going to happen.”
