Six Months To Love: Charlotte's Redemption Read Online Free PDF Page B

shock. Without a doubt, she knew this would hurt Charlotte to know that her “best friend,” was now marrying her ex, but Charlotte deserved this for stealing Alex from her many years ago and almost ruining his reputation at the same time.
    “I’m pulling up now my dear, please for the love of God stop badgering me; it’s really starting to piss me off.”
    “Oh please shut up, you’re not stupid enough to follow through with your threats and temper anyway, you need me much more than I need you, I promise!” Victoria all but spat out the words at Alex.
    It was true, Alex did need Victoria and her money to survive and get out of debt. His mother’s recent insurance scam couldn’t guarantee a lot of financial gain and even then it would take 6-8 weeks to get an initial payment, one which was already gone and spent keeping their tax problems out of the paper and out of people’s mouths so their “reputation” could still stand, barely but stand. Victoria stood to inherit almost 60 million from her father on top of her already sizable trust when she married. Her father didn’t care who she married as long as he had a decent social standing.

 
    After Andrew’s presidential performance at school, Charlotte decided to head to the coffee shop that she went to earlier with John. She wanted to look over the manual that her boss had given her. She was determined she was going to prove herself.  She was grateful for this opportunity, even if it would only last a short time. Sighing she pushed that thought out of her head as she walked into the coffee shop. It was late, 8pm, but the coffee shop hosted poetic visionaries, or wannabes at the very least which kept the shop open until 11pm on Thursday and Friday evenings.
    After ordering coffee she decided to immerse herself in the atmosphere and begin her readings.....

    John was sitting at home when his father came bursting into the study. “I need your help” his father snapped more frantic and overwhelmed than angry.
    “What now?”
    “Don’t talk to me like that, you may refuse to work at the office but the least you can do is respect me and help out when needed!” His father must be desperate, he only asks for help when another idiot associate at his office couldn’t handle the case load given to him.
    “I’m busy right now; I’ll look at it later”
    “Why did I ever pay for you to go to law school if you were just going to throw it all away? Honestly John it infuriates me that you refuse your calling.”
    “What I refuse father is to be controlled by you, let me be and explore my options in life and just enjoy myself, how hard is that?”
    “That’s your mother talking, God rest her soul.”
    “She was a bright woman, Father, you should be happy I listen to her”
    “Sometimes not!” His father mumbled under his breath, growing more frustrated he slammed the case file down and stormed out.
    Quite amused with his considered win, John set his feet back on the desk and opened the case file that was so damn important and urgent to his father.

    The next few days flew by at work; Charlotte was happy with her new responsibilities and even happier that she was finally finding a balance between her growing friendship with John, and the new visitation schedule. Andrew seemed adjusting though he was sometimes sad coming home but refused to tell Charlotte if anything was wrong. Brushing it off as the adjustment and divorce trauma that she read kids often go through, Charlotte went on as usual, though in the back of her mind she still couldn’t shake the feeling that she was missing something.
    At home Charlotte frantically searched her closet for something to wear that didn’t scream money. All her clothes were designer brand, at Alex’s insistence. He refused to let her wear anything that he considered would ruin or tarnish his reputation.  Appalled by the thought Charlotte let out a frustrating sigh. John was meeting her at the restaurant at 7pm and she
