Chapter 3 Charles had never seen me like this before .
He stood frozen for a moment before storming out , slamming the door behind him .
He even took the bag of cherries with him .
So you dont need my charity ? Fine .
Lets see how stubborn you can be .
Not even ten minutes after he left , Olivia posted another update .
First night officially moving in ! Ugh , the decor is so tacky .
Seriously , what kind of straight man aesthetic is this ? Attached was a photo of the apartment above mine .
The one she called tacky -I had designed it myself .
Charles replied under her post .
Yeah , its awful .
Lets tear it down and redo it .
I rubbed my sore eyes .
The tears had long since dried .
Houses could be remodeled .
Old lovers could be replaced with new ones .
To him , I was nothing more than a discarded toy , long past its novelty .
Another harassment call came in .
I yanked out my SIM card and replaced it with the one I used for international performances .
Back then , a prestigious overseas dance company had extended an offer to me .
I turned it down because I couldnt bear to be apart from Charles .
Now , my fingers trembled as I dialed the contact from that time .
Hello , is this Mr.
Jason ? The other end of the line was silent .
If not for the faint sound of breathing , I wouldve thought the call had dropped .
Why wasnt he saying anything ? Had he seen the trending news ? My grip on the phone tightened , my palms damp with sweat .
Mr.
Jason , please listen .
I didnt do those things .
I wanted to clarify , but my social media accounts have been locked down .
Whenever I post from a new account , the post gets deleted within seconds .
I- Wait for me .
A low , muffled male voice interrupted me .
Unexpectedly familiar yet completely different from the blond haired 08:50 Dancing into the Heart of Mr.
Cel 1.399 Chapter 3 Jason in my memory .
I froze .
Youre not Jason ? Wait for me .
He repeated himself and hung up .
I was confused .
Before I could process it , a message popped up on my phone .
Taking off .
Turning off my phone .
A few seconds later , another message .
Wait for me to return .
Ill take you away .
His words were cryptic , but at least they were a promise .
I let out a slow breath .
Over the next few days , I packed my things and prepared my documents .
I didnt have much .
Everything I owned fit into a single suitcase .
I didnt take anything Charles had bought for me .
Not because I was noble , and certainly not because I still had feelings for him .
He had cheated .
He had crushed me completely .
But when my family fell apart and the world turned against me , when everyone wanted me dead to atone for my parents sins , it was Charles who saved me .
I didnt know how he convinced his father , but after that night kneeling in the rain , he was cast out from the Carter .
family.
At the same time , the internets relentless attacks against me suddenly vanished .
He gave me a new identity .
A second chance at life .
He had caught me when I was falling .
He had stayed with me through the darkest days .
And for that , I could never truly hate him .
All I wanted now was to walk away peacefully .
After three days of silence , Charles came back .
Had time to calm down ? Thought things through? 08:50 Dancing into the Heart of Mr.
Cold 1.5 % Chapte I nodded my voice steady .
Yes , I have His lips curled in satisfaction mistaking my words for surrender .
Good Charlotte Edwards , remember your place .
If you behave.Ill keep you .
But if you overstep .
Ill make sure you lose everything .
He threatened me like this , but when I stayed silent , a trace of confusion flickered in his eyes , Are you done ? I placed the divorce papers on the table .

Charles stared at the document , his gaze turning cold .
Charles stared at the piece of paper , his deep black eyes gradually turning cold .
Charlotte Edwards , you clearly knew about my relationship with Olivia a long time ago .
Why didnt you just pretend nothing happened , like before ? If you just acted like you didnt know and continued being Mrs.
Carter in peace , wouldnt that have been better ? She has what you have .
And what she doesnt have , I can give to you too .
Charlotte Edwards , your heart shouldnt be so greedy .
I stared at Charles in a daze , unable to believe these words were coming from his mouth .
I still remembered our first year of high school when Charless father cheated on his mother .
After his mother found out , the whole house was in chaos .
His father scolded her harshly , Men in my position who doesnt keep a mistress outside ? Im not divorcing you , so what are you making a fuss about ? That day , Charles picked up a baseball bat and smashed the porcelain vase beside his father .
As the shards scattered , he spoke coldly , word by word .
