Seducing the Multi Millionaire

Charlotte's POV:

"Give up the position or someone else needs to give up in your stead?"

"I'm not joining, Kye. I realized that being a musician isn't really what I wanted."

"Charlotte, what are you saying? We're finally here, why the heck are you giving up?"

"It's not like I'll be far away. I just realized I'm not meant for singing or being part of a band. You see, I'm being offered to be an actress."

"Your dream is to sing."

"Is it? I guess people change."

"Did you hear that? That's why he became famous so quickly in acting, everyone was flirting hahahaha"

"Did you see the video? Is that really him? He met *tut* their CEO, that's why he's favored hahahahah."

"I wouldn't be surprised that that girl is already broken. The innocent looking one's? They're the ones who hide a lot of stink."

"It's flirty enough to grab Jowa. When you think she's more beautiful than Mia."

"Let's break up, Charlotte."

"Kye, are you too?"

"I was fearless but after all that happened, I can't recognize myself anymore. Where's that fearless girl a long time ago? Why have I become someone who's very vulnerable to everything that surrounds me? Everything scares me."

"HEY!"

I opened my eyes immediately when I felt a rather strong blow on my arm, I was so shocked that my eyes barely opened.

I looked at Mama who had a bad look at me standing in front of me, did she hit me?

"Ma! Why did you hit me?", I exclaimed.

He pointed the broom he was carrying at me. Geez! He was holding a broom.

"Your cell phone has been ringing for a while, so I'm waking you up, you witch, but you don't want to wake up! It's a good thing I just hit your arm and didn't pour hot water on you. Why? Are you whining? You watch TV and then you go to sleep without turning it off? Do you know how expensive electricity is?", it litany.

Mother earth is a witch, are we just friends? It's really brutal. The water is really hot.

I examined the situation and I remembered. I was watching a teleserye in the living room and then I got bored of what I was watching, so I fell asleep on the sofa. I dreamed everything again. Every time I close my eyes? When will I forget all that? It's been 6 years. Years have passed but it's still fresh in my heart; the pain, the trauma, memories, everything about it.

Then what else is my problem? I'm 28 T_T looks like I'm really going to grow old alone. It's been more than one year since I talked to the soothsayer, I still haven't seen or met a man who entered his denescribe. Curly? Name starts with Z? Moreno, handsome and then tall... Noaaaaa!

When I was about to come back, Valerie—the one who told me about that fortune teller because it was legit—Val said that the fortune teller had closed down and moved to another country. Like what? What's up with my love life?

[ "Marites! Before we finish our chikahan this morning let us congratulate this couple ano? Stephen Kye Forrester or famously known as Kye Forrester and his long term girlfriend for 6 years Mia Peterson is now engaged!"

"Really? They've been engaged? 6 years? But aren't they fighting? They broke up and got back together several times."

"I know Sheena, but love conquers all, right? They are really destined for each other. They were both from a band called, 'Secret Keepers' right in their early days in showbiz, but before the cameras and limelights they were childhood friends by the way."

"Really? But it was famous back then, wasn't it? Kye was in a relationship with someone before he and Mia were together, it was only kept as a secret because Mia and Kye had many shippers and the woman Kye was dating at that time was a very famous personality too."

"Right, I heard that too. But it was never confirmed. If I remember it clearly, Kye was in a relationship with De—"]

I looked at Mom when she turned off the TV.

"What are you looking at? I killed you because you weren't watching. Answer your phone! Someone has been calling!"

"Skusta Clee lost to you.", I said softly but it was loud enough to hear;

"Who's that?"

"Rapper.", I answered quickly as I took my cell phone from the side of the sofa and then ran up to my room, I heard Mama screaming hahahaha I can't catch up hahahaha.

I leaned against the door of my room panting and looked at the caller, come on? I have a lot of missed calls. Ten?

From Valerie.

Valerie Jane Miller by the way is my best friend. She used to be my make-up artist before.

Valerie Jane Miller by the way is my best friend. She used to be my make-up artist before.

I haven't really introduced myself properly yet. I'm Charlotte Devin Vanidestine, 28 but I'm turning 29 not so soon but it's on its way. Jesus, my age is about to disappear from the calendar. And yeah, I used to be an actress... A famous one that is but you already know that? I'm a fallen one. I rose to stardom at such a young age of 15, I became famous immediately and as quickly as I rose to fame, I faded away just as quickly. I retired at the age of 22, 6 years after people have forgotten about me so easily even though someone still knows me sometimes.

I still take some lowkey advertisements in furnitures, restaurants looking for models to promote, I do part time modeling too with Valerie as my manager. I have my own florist shop because I love flowers, I named it, "Flower Shower".

I was talking so much, I forgot that Val is calling.

I answered her call and immediately heard her loud crying.

"Girl, damn... You're crying so loud. What's your problem?", while moving my cellphone a little away from my ear.

[CHARLOTTTTTEEEE! ALEX IS CHEATING ON ME HUHUHUHU SOMEONE SAW HIM GOING TO THE AIRPORT WITH THAT GIRL THAT HE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT! USING THE CAR THAT I BOUGHT HIM! HE TOLD ME HE'S BUSY AND HAS A BUSINESS TRIP! WAS THAT WOMAN ON A BUSINESS TRIP AND THEN KISSING INSIDE THE CAR I BOUGHT?!]

I can't believe what I just heard that all it left is for my face to be deformed out of disbelief.

"Are you for real? Are you sure that Alex saw it?", I confirmed while looking for my heels, I have to go to the witch.

I also wore a hat just in case. I'm gone but someone still knows me sometimes, especially since I'm active on Instagram.

[Bish baklushhh saw it! I'm going to the airport right now. I'll smash that Alex's face with his hoe!]

Baklush? Jax? Jax Del Mundo, our friend who is baklush.

"Hey! Valerie get ready! Wait for me! Don't get lost in there. Valerie? Hello? Hey!"

What a girl! I was taken down.

I grabbed a taxi on my phone because I have three cars but I don't know how to drive, can you help me? Design.

I'm already well dressed, okay? Even when I'm at home, I'm always dressed like I'm leaving, why? It's because I can duh.

"CHARLOTTE WHAT? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? YOU'RE GOING TO FALL, YOU STUPID!", Mama shouted when she saw me running by.

I couldn't say goodbye because I'm telling you, when I tell Mama, she'll come with me hahahaha.

"Brother, hurry up? It's important.", I said to the taxi driver and he understood the assignment because he immediately made his taxi pull away.

I'm calling Jax's number because I feel he and Val are together now. That witch, will rush without a plan.

[Oh my god Devina! Thank god you called! I'm with Valerie right now— AHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL! FIX DRIVING! Ghurl you need to come for me, okay? We're close to the airport and I don't know if we'll make it there alive, that witch friend of yours blocked everyone in the way and overtook her! I still want to be HAAAAYYYYY WHAT THE HELL VALERIE JANE! Charlotte I love my life, I don't have anything like you yet, I still have many dreams in life. Get ready to drive Valerie! I'll fix you, look! More—]

I was sitting in the backseat of the taxi with my cellphone still in my ear. Before I could speak, Jax immediately scolded me and then as if I didn't really say anything because the call was cut off. What did I hear? It just so happens that my friends are the same breed as me, the screw is loose.

Manong Driver almost flew his taxi because I was really speeding up. Who wouldn't panic? Jax has been texting me non-stop.

Manong has not been able to do well

driver when we arrived in front of the airport, my eyes immediately caught Valerie outside and a little distance from the airport entrance, with Jax standing behind her.

Val is facing Alex with a girl.

I paid the man and I almost tripped when I got off because I was in a hurry.

I paid the man and I almost tripped when I got off because I was in a hurry.

"How dare you! I gave you everything, even bought you your dream car and then you do this?", Valerie to Alex.

I braked behind Jax and he turned to me; His whole face lit up when he saw me.

"Thank goodness, you're here! I can't control this witch! You take care of her!", Jax simultaneously pushed me closer to Val.

I glared at Jax, you witch! If pushed.

"It's not what you think, Val. I told you! I'm going in a business trip.", Alex explained to Val while the woman with him was hiding behind him.

"Do you think I'm stupid, Alex? Business trip? With that woman? What? Don't tell me she's a business partner this time? When I caught you together, what did you say? That she's a friend... Someone that I shouldn't be worrying about and I believed you because I love you! Are you still going to make me a fool? Are there friends kissing in the car that I bought for you myself?!", Valerie shouted furiously as she looked at him. those who pass by us. The others have already stopped watching.

Oh my god, too much attention.

I hold Val's arm to calm him down because it seems like any moment from now he will punch Alex and the girl with him, but Val avoids his arm when I hold him.

This is how Val gets angry, if she's so angry, she can't listen to anyone else because her anger is eating her up.

"Val, let's take this somewhere else because we're already looking at each other.", I whispered to Val but he didn't look at me.

"I thought we had trust for each other. Can you really believe that gay friend of yours? You're gay, you really want to destroy our relationship, you're really a scourge on society!", Alex said to Jax while pointing at him Jax.

Jax was surprised because he was involved, he kept holding his chest with a facial expression "why am I being involved here?"

But did he just call Jax, 'social scourge'?

"Hey! Don't even try blaming others for your filthiness. Why don't you tell me if you had that flirt with you on your business trip?", pointing at the woman behind Alex.

I saw how he raised his eyebrows then pulled Alex behind him so that he could face Val.

"Did you just call me flirty? You're asking who I am? If there's sex between the two of us, you're the girl hahahha. Before you became Alex's girlfriend, I was his girlfriend— hey! Don't touch me! I can't take this anymore, Alex! This woman needs to know who I am!", she angrily pushed Alex's hand when he stopped her speaking.

"What do you mean?", Valerie asked in confusion, and I was also moved to tears by what I heard.

"I said what I said. Alex is just using you, he's dating you because of your money. Love? He doesn't love you because he loves me."

My ears perked up when I heard it. The audacity!

Valerie was suddenly depressed upon hearing this.

"What? Are you speechless? Thank you, I'm lending him to you."

I stepped between the two and pushed the woman hard, thankfully Alex's trash was behind her but she could kiss the floor.

"Hey. Are you proud that you tolerated the sht of this guy? You cheated both my friends and you're acting so confident as if what you did was right?", I asked angrily as I looked back and forth between the two of them. .

"Did you just push me?", he asked in disbelief as he straightened himself up after I pushed hard.

I came closer to him, the kind of guy who was going to stick his forehead to my eyebrow because I was a little taller because I was wearing heels.

"Why? You want me to repeat it to make you aware? Huh?", I pushed him twice, enough force to make him back away.

"You know what I hate the most? People getting caught cheating and then they act like they didn't do anything wrong."

He grabbed his right shoulder because I was pushing him there;

"Push me one more time and I'll kill you girl!"

I laughed;

"Why what are you going to do? Thanks to you, I'm just pushing you with your shoulder, irritating my face so pale, I'm shaking and blushing with my palm."

"You bit*h!"

She attacked me. Since I was wearing a cap, he pulled the strands of my long hair, pulling me closer with my hair.

"LET GO OF YOU, MY FRIEND! LET GO!"

I don't know what's going on, Valerie suddenly rushes in while Alex is holding his girl.

I can't untangle this thread because I have both hands on my hat because I don't want it to come off and someone might recognize me.

"LET GO, MY FRIEND! LET GO! YOU'RE Flirty! YOU SHOULD BE KISSED ON THE GROUND EH! LET GO!", Valerie tweaked the girl and then Alex pushed her, look at this trash! Definitely siding with trash like him.

"Don't push, it smells like earth! Don't say!", Jax reacted while hitting Alex's hand to stop Valerie from pushing.

Do you know that? My head is already hurting because of the strength of the girl pulling her hair, then it hurts more because my hand is itching to adjust her too but I can't let go of my hat.

We're making a lot of noise here, but no guards have noticed yet, no one is reporting because the marites are happily watching!

"A-AHHHH ARAY! THE PAIN IS A DEMON!", I screamed in pain because it was really strong, it felt like my scalp would come off!

"Excuse me, you're blocking the way right now."

"Excuse me, you're blocking the way right now."

We all stopped and turned to the man in a black hoodie, wearing a face mask while he was dragging a suitcase in his right hand and his left hand was stuffed into his hoodie.

His eyes looked at each other with no appetite. He thinks that you will really realize your mistakes in life and you will be ashamed.

I felt Alex's woman let go of my hair so I immediately fixed my hair and fixed my hat.

When I look at it, the road is very wide but this is where he thought of passing by the very place where someone was tweaking?

Valerie was able to let go of that woman and everything was fixed.

We only see his eyes, but if he can look, it's like he's judging our whole personality, as if he's criticizing us.

It shook its head;

"I can't believe that I have to witness all of this the moment I came back. Tsk.", he said softly but we all heard because he was close to us, then he walked and passed through the center as if nothing had happened. .

"Kuya is very stubborn.", Jax said in a whisper.

We all looked at each other.

It was a moment of silence until Valerie spoke.

"I'm breaking up with you and I don't ever want to see your face again. Go with that girl. You're nothing but trash. I want my car back, before this day ends she should be in front of my house with the key or else... I'll hunt you down. Let's go.", Val said firmly in a very low voice to avoid attention.

Val walked out first and Jax immediately followed him.

I looked at the two then struggled.

"Zach! Hey Zacharias! You idiot! I said I was just going to buy water and then you disappeared!"

Zach?

I turned to the man who, even though he was out of breath, was still running while carrying a bottle of water.

He's running towards.... THAT guy. The guy earlier.

He stopped walking and looked at the man who was calling him.

He looked at me for a moment before he transferred it to the man carrying bottled water.

He took the bottled water from the man who was chasing him; he removed his face mask and then lowered his hoodie.

"We're not close, why do I have to pick you up?"

"Who said that you should really pick me up? You can't. Brain, Dave.", he replied to his companion then drank the water from the bottled water.

I froze where I stood.

Moreno, curly hair, tall, handsome and above all a name starting with the letter Z...

No way... Is it him?

Finally? I've found a guy that fits all of the distinct description that lady gave me.

"Hey, let's go. That woman over there is staring at you weirdly.", I heard Dave say that he should have just whispered to the max level right? Because I heard it!

He looked at me again.

"I can't even catch a break.", he replied to Dave then walked away first and followed him immediately when he was with him.

Wait.

Is he leaving?

"Hey! Come on! I thought you were gone because you didn't follow us! The fight is over, witch!", Jax suddenly appeared and pulled me so that I could look at him so when I looked there again in the direction of the man it suddenly disappeared like a bubble.

Not allowed. No!

"Besh, wait. I'll follow. I can't let him go!"

"What? You're talking? Is that an aftershock of your tweak?"

"No! You go first, I'll follow later, just text me.", I hurriedly answered then ran in the direction where I last saw Zach.

I can't let him go. Whether it was true or not, what the soothsayer said... I still need to try.

There's no harm in trying.

I need to get that guy's number or anything that will bring communication towards us.

I saw them again when the man was with her and I sped up my pace, it turns out I was wearing heels at the wrong time T_T

They turned into a parking lot area and when I turned I couldn't catch them.

Noooooo, I can't lose him!

I went around the entire parking lot hoping to see a car leaving because maybe it was them but there was none. But here they come in! Where are they?

I stopped in the middle because I felt tired and then my ankles started to hurt.

I bent down to look and my left ankle is bleeding. Are you running here, running there?

I'm so disappointed because I might never see him again.

*BEEP! BEEEPPPP! *

I'm so disappointed because I might never see him again.

*BEEP! BEEEPPPP! *

My eyes widened in shock when someone honked loudly, I looked ahead and there was a car coming towards me at a fast pace, I was standing in the middle of the parking lot.

For the second time, I hurried to leave the center with a mixture of nervousness because I felt like I was going to be run over when suddenly someone pulled me to the side.

I closed my eyes when he pulled me so fast, just as he pulled me, the speeding car passed by as if if I hadn't been pulled, I might have been run over.

What's wrong with that driver? What a reckless one!

I gasped because of the nervousness I leaned against the nearby wall when I let go when my wrist pulled me.

"Thank you.", I said while catching my breath.

I felt a presence in front of me, so close that I opened my eyes. I looked up and my eyes widened when I saw that it was that guy... The guy named Zach.

He looked at me in such an intimidating way, the kind of person who shrinks from yourself.

I almost held my breath as to what he did next.

He bent forward with enough space between our faces and peered at my face, because I was wearing a hat and it was down too much since I'm being careful with people recognizing me.

"W-what are you trying to do?", I stuttered.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?", he asked and we adjusted after he peeked at my face.

I looked over there and saw his companion watching us inside a car.

"Following?", me.

"Yeah, don't even try to deny it. My partner and I have been watching you in the car like crazy looking for us. What do you need?"

This guy is so straightforward and I want to return the favor.

I swallowed my saliva then adjusted my stance.

I looked around for a moment to see if there was anyone else and after confirming that there was none, I removed my hat.

He stared at me with no change of expression, does that mean he doesn't know me?

He stared at me with no change of expression, does that mean he doesn't know me?

"Hurry up. I don't have much time for this childish behavior.", he said while looking at me unimpressed.

I lost my hair.

I thought it was easy to do things like this but it's not. Don't want to come out of my mouth, it's embarrassing!

"5 seconds."

5 seconds?

"Huh?"

"I'm giving you 5 seconds to answer and if you fail to do so, I'm going to report you for following us in a very strange manner."

The heck? This person is serious! It's not that deep!

"Report?!", I couldn't believe I reacted.

"5... 4..."

Wait, is he really serious? Calm down Charlotte, say you're a witch!

"3... 2..."

"H-hey, wait.. "

"1. Time's up."

He grabbed my wrist suddenly.

"In case you run away.", he said and took his phone from his pocket using his free hand and dialed a number.

Before he could call that number, I mustered up the courage to say my specifics.

"Can I have your number?", I asked him without blinking.

He stopped dialing the number and looked at my face. I felt his grip on my wrist loosen up.

"What?", he asked with a frown.

I turned to his companion in the car and he was laughing while looking at us.

Maybe because I said it so loudly, he heard it too.

"You heard it right. Can I have your number?"

His grumpy face changed to confusion, he let go of my wrist.

"Y-you followed us here and you almost got hit... Just to get my number?".

The expression on his face seems to say that it is even worth it.

I nodded in response.

"Why?", he exclaimed as if he's very frustrated by it.

Why? What should I answer? The answer that will convince him to give me his number.

I bit my tongue, and yes, it's not a dream so get over it.

"Why don't you want to? It's okay. Just take my number."

My brain floats, with everything that can be answered. That's all my brain can handle.

Will he give it to me? If I can't have his number, then I have to get his full name.

I've long waited for a guy that perfectly fits the description of that fortune teller, and now that I've finally found one... There's no way I'm getting him go. There's not a chance.

I need to make this guy mine.
