Regret Novel 112

Evander’s face darkened the instant he saw Charlotte’s reaction. He yanked her back toward him. “Charlotte, what’s that supposed to mean?”

Her whole body trembled in his grip, lips pale as she whispered, “I don’t feel well.”

He stared straight through her, his gaze growing colder. “Is it really that you’re unwell, or is it just that you don’t want to?”

He couldn’t quite remember when it started, but lately, she shrank away from even the slightest touch.

At first, he’d chalked it up to a passing mood. But now, it was clearly more than

that.

Charlotte looked at him with hollow eyes, as empty as a marionette. “Evander, I’m a person. I have flesh, blood, and feelings. I’m not just here for your convenience!”

“You don’t love me. And now that Tricia’s back, you don’t have to force yourself to be with me anymore, do you?”

Eyander seemed to understand what she was getting at, but he dodged the question. His hand gripped the back of her head, drawing her closer. “So that’s it.

You don’t want to?”

She drew a shaky breath, turning her face away. “No. I don’t.”

A cold smile flickered across his lips. “You will.”

Without another word, Evander grabbed his coat from the end of the bed and left.

The door swung shut behind him, sealing Charlotte in a silence so absolute it rang

in her ears.

The next morning, Charlotte was jolted awake by the shrill ring of her phone.

She barely managed to answer before Xavier’s furious voice blasted through the speaker. “Charlotte, what the hell did you do? Why is Evander refusing to let us see Hiram?”

Charlotte snapped fully awake, sitting up in bed. “What did you say?”

“We went to the hospital to see Hiram,” Xavier fumed. “Security wouldn’t let us in.
