The next day In Tyler's house. Charlotte woke up early. She went downstairs to get a broom to use to sweep while one of the maids argued with her.
"Don't worry ma. I can do it. Mr Dalton will get mad at me if he sees you sweeping." She said dragging the broom stick from Charlotte.
"It's okay. He wont be angry I promise."Charlotte said trying to convince her.
They kept arguing until Tyler grunted to announce his presence.
"Hmm." He grunted.
"Good morning sir."The maid greeted and walked away.
He is wearing a pair of joggers and no top. His chest was visible. Charlotte swallowed as he walked up to her. He stared at her for a minute
"Will you move?"He said finally.
"Move,what, when." Charlotte stammered.
"You better don't fall for me because you aren't my type."He said and pushed Charlotte away.
Charlotte ran upstairs and bumped into Rose in the lobby.
"Hey watch it."Rose said pushing Charlotte back.
"How dare you touch me?"Charlotte asked angrily.
Rose slapped Charlotte and Tyler walked in on them.
"Why did you slap her? What if she develops a heart problem too, I'll have to pay for that."Tyler said sarcastically.
"I am sorry my love,i didn't know." Rose said.
"And who is your love?"Tyler asked.
"Better don't get thing wrong. You can leave now. And I mean now." He said and leaving the two ladies.
Rose gave Charlotte a death glare and followed Tyler.
Charlotte dressed up,ate and went downstairs. She met Tyler who was about to get into his car. A light flashed into her eyes.
It was a journalist peeping from the fence. He must have been on a ladder.
"Tyler dragged Charlotte by her wrist,opened the door and pushed her in softly. He got into the drivers seat and drove off.
"What do you what from me?"Charlotte asked buckling her seat belt.
"Well, you have to act like we are in love. I don't want the press to think I'm irresponsible "Tyler explained.
"Aren't you irresponsible?"Charlotte said looking out the window.
"I'll help you but you have to pay my sister's hospital bills." Charlotte said.
"Seriously, is everything about you money?"
"What?You promised to pay my sister's hospital bills and you refused after getting married to me."Charlotte said.
"Where are you going now?" Tyler asked.
"To the hospital."Charlotte answered.
He stopped the car.
"I'm sure there are no journalist here."
"You can go now."
"Tyler please. I beg of you please pay my sisters hospital bills. I don't want her to die.
Please."Charlotte pleaded clasping her hands together.
"I'll think about it. Please get down I have to go to work now."Tyler clasped his hands together mocking Charlotte.
Charlotte got down and walked to the hospital.

"Hey."The receptionist greeted her smiling brightly.
"Hey ma'am. Good morning."Charlotte greeted her back.
"Your sister has been transferred to ward 605"The receptionist said.
"Okay thanks for the information."
Charlotte got into the elevator and entered her sister's ward.
Phoebe is awake staring at the window as Charlotte opened the door.
"Hey Phoebe."Charlotte greeted sitting on Phoebe's bed.
"Hey sis."Phoebe said with a strained voice.
"How are you feeling?"Charlotte asked even when she knows the answer.
"I don't want to die please. I want to become a lawyer. You promised you'll send me to school and make sure I graduate. Please help me."Phoebe said squeezing Charlotte's hand in hers and crying.
"You won't die. I promise you. I will look for the money."Charlotte said as tears began to drop from her eyes.
"Promise me sis. You always fulfil your promise so promise me."Phoebe said.
"I swear I promise you. I'll look for the money. "Charlotte said.
They cried for a while. Charlotte changed the topic to make Phoebe happy. They talked and chatted for a long time.

Tyler got to his company. He walked into the building and saw Rose talking to a client. She winked at him but he ignored .
The television in the reception showed the picture of him and Charlotte in the morning.
"Yes. I know you all are surprised but the most wanted bachelor, every girl's ideal type is now married. We don't know who she is or where she is from but she looks like Charlotte Jenkins,Dave Jenkins daughter. This matter has caused lots of ruckus in the entertainment industry. All the girls who thought they would end up With Tyler Dalton is now devastated."The reporter kept going on and on about Tyler's marriage.
Tyler took the remote and switched off the TV.
He walked into the elevator and to his office.
"I swear I'm going to deal with that stupid Charlotte of a girl."He said to himself.
He walked into the office.
"Ahhhhh."He screamed pushing all the files on his table on the floor.
He removed his phone from his trouser pocket and called his friend.
"Hey Liam. Where you at?" He asked
"What bar? "
"I'm coming right away."
He took off his blazer and tie. Rushed downstairs,got into his car and zoomed off to where his friend was.

"Happy married life bro."Liam congratulated him stretching out his hand to shake Tyler.
"Stupid marriage."Tyler said.
"What? I thought you finally fell in love. I mean the pictures looked like you were in love." Liam said laughing out loud.
"Stop it okay."Tyler said and sitting down.
"I am here to have a good time. I don't even want to go home anymore."He said.
"Tell me more bro."Liam said
"I mean about this marriage thing. if you don't love her why did you marry her? Or is she good in bed?" Liam asked.
"Dad forced me man. I don't think she'll be good in bed. She isn't that pretty."Tyler said.
"What? The girl in the picture with you is definitely my type. If you don't need her pass her to me."Liam said sipping his drink.
"You can have her all you want."Tyler said.
"For real bro?" Liam asked again to confirm.
"Shut up!"Tyler called the waitress and ordered a drink.
"It's so better here. My house now irritate me."
"Really,all because of a girl?" Liam asked while checking out a girl in a pencil jeans and sleeveless top.
"Yes. She has this annoying aura. Whenever I see her I get pissed immediately. Tyler explained.
"I once read a book. it says you fall in love with the person you hate the most." Liam said.
"I'd rather die than to fall in love with her. No way. I hope there are some hot chicks I can bang here. My life is now becoming boring." Tyler said taking a sip from his drink.
"You life boring? Liam asked looking surprised.
"There is no way Tyler Dalton's life can be boring. You are every girls ideal type. Every girl wants you man." Liam said.

"You abandoned me ever since you became CEO." Liam attacked.
"No,not that. I've been busy. It's not easy." Tyler said trying to convince Liam. He took a big gulp from the bottle of wine.
"Hmm." He grunted .
"What?"
"I know there is no way you'll just work in that office without doing anything else." Liam said.
"Of course not. There are some crazy girls there. They aren't really my type though. Just managing. Tyler said.
"Yo! I trust you. When will you leave?"
"I'm staying here till morning. Maybe till 1:00am."
"It's just 1:00pm." Liam said checking his wrist watch.
"I don't care. I don't just want to go home. Even if I do, I want to go when she is asleep."Tyler said.
"Who drinks from 1:00pm to 1:00am.Dont kill yourself bro."Liam warned.
"Don't worry about me. I'll handle myself.
"Whatever you say. I'm leaving soon though." Liam said.
