Love Worth Fighting For

446 Betraying Johan

“No, I can’t lose this baby.”

As if getting an injection of energy from the baby, Charlotte suddenly had such great strength that she was able to make Johan fall backwards. The man even hit the table behind him because of the strength of Charlotte’s push against him.

Charlotte immediately gasped for air, trying to fill her dry lungs with as much oxygen as possible while grabbing a gun tucked under her seat and pointing it at Johan.

“Get out of my sight if you still want to live and take care of your crippled father,” Charlotte said haltingly, her chest rising and falling as she spoke.

Johan grinned. “You can’t do that to me, you’re a girl who…”

Bang…

A deafening shot rang out when Charlotte pulled the trigger of the gun which was aimed at Johan.

Instantly, a biting heat immediately attacked Johan’s leg, which was now lodged in a hot bullet fired by Charlotte.

“Go away,” Charlotte said back in a trembling voice. “I can shoot you right in the heart this time.”

.....

“You will regret doing this to me Charlotte.”

Charlotte shook her head quickly. “You will regret it if you insist on being in this place, remember Johan, all your secrets are with me. I can easily destroy you and all the plans that you have been making for the last few years will end in vain and I will make your paralyzed father suffering more than what he is feeling right now. Believe me Johan, I can do all the horrible things I just told you.”

Johan clenched his fist, Charlotte’s threat made him tremble slightly. After thinking long enough, Johan finally decided to leave, using the remaining energy Johan slowly tried to get up from the floor. A biting heat hit him as soon as he tried to get up.

“I will keep all my words, I will not disturb you and your father as long as you no longer appear in my life,” said Charlotte again.

“You really are a snake woman,” Johan growled softly.

Charlotte smiled. “And you’re the one who turned me into a snake woman, Johan. You’re the one who used me first for your sake, you’ve made me your gratification for months with sweet promises that you didn’t keep because from the start you had absolutely no intention of helping me. ”

Johan was silent and didn’t argue with Charlotte’s words because everything Charlotte said was true. All this time he had only used Charlotte for his physical interests without really intending to help her achieve her goals.

“So you better get out of my sight before I run out of patience,” Charlotte shooed back.

Johan, who had no other choice, decided to follow Charlotte’s orders, limping the bespectacled man walking towards the elevator leaving Charlotte alone in the room.

Some of the maids who had panicked when they heard the gunshots were even more shocked when they saw Johan come out of the elevator with bloody feet, but none of them tried to help the man. They were self-aware enough not to meddle in the lady’s matters.

Not long after Johan left the main door, Charlotte’s screams were heard from the second floor. Suddenly the maids who had previously paid attention to Johan immediately ran to the second floor where the lady was.

“What’s wrong Miss?”

“What can we help Miss?”

“Are you all right Miss?”

Several female maids immediately asked questions simultaneously to Charlotte who was sitting on the floor, not far from Johan’s pool of blood.

Charlotte raised her hand, pointing at Johan’s blood. “Clean up the blood and... and don’t let that man come to this house again.”

“Okay Miss, we understand.”

Charlotte swallowed hard, trying to get rid of the uneasiness that still clung to her neck. Even though Johan was gone, Charlotte still felt Johan’s strong and big fingers on her reddened neck.

“Now help me to my room, I-I want to take a shower,” Charlotte said back.

Two maids immediately approached Charlotte and helped her up from the floor, the two young maids carefully guided Charlotte to her bedroom. While the other maids began to carry out Charlotte’s orders, cleaning up Johan’s blood that was splattered on the second floor to the first floor. None of them dared to open their mouths and ask what happened to the lady and kept their curiosity deep inside.

“I will prepare your bath water first Miss, please wait a moment,” said one of the maids in a soft voice.

Charlotte nodded. “Ok.”

The maid who had just asked permission to prepare the bath water slowly lowered Charlotte’s hand from her shoulder and immediately squealed in surprise at how pale Charlotte’s face was at this time.

“Are you sure you’re okay Miss? Your face is very pale,” said the maid back in a trembling voice.

Another maid who was on Charlotte’s right side immediately turned her face towards Charlotte. “Miss…”

“I’m fine, I’m just a little ouchhh….”

The pain that Charlotte had endured since five minutes ago returned to attack with greater force which immediately made Charlotte groan in pain with her body trembling violently.

“Miss!!!” shouted the two young maids simultaneously.

“It hurts,” Charlotte groaned in pain. “My stomach hurts…”

The two young maids spontaneously lowered their heads, their faces immediately turned pale when they saw the liquid that had soaked into the floor Charlotte was stepping on.

“Help me, please save my baby…please save my child,” Charlotte said hoarsely before finally collapsing.

Luckily the two female maids had greater strength so they managed to hold Charlotte’s body in the air, quickly the two young maids brought Charlotte to the bed and immediately called the butler who was on the first floor.

In her unconscious state, Charlotte was crying. The young pregnant woman was crying for the child in her womb so that she would not leave her.

Moonlight apartment, Geneva.

Christian carefully places his smart tablet on the table, the tablet containing all the evidence of Asher’s theft is a very valuable thing for him. Even though he had gotten what he was looking for for more than two weeks now Christian actually looked doubtful, a feeling of sadness gripped his heart when he saw clearly all the evidence of the crimes Asher had committed. As someone who grew up with Asher for decades Christian felt so sad and broken, he never expected Asher would do such a low thing.

“No, I’m sure Asher definitely didn’t do this himself,” Christian says softly. “I’m sure someone else was involved in this heist…it’s impossible for Asher to do something this lowly. Those very nice Aunty Linda and Uncle Paul couldn’t have passed on the thieving gene to Asher unless…”

Christian stopped what he was saying when he suddenly remembered Asher’s name listed on the escrow account number that received the money. Christian’s heartbeat immediately raced very fast instantly, with trembling hands Christian opened his smart tablet again. There was a great urge inside him that ordered him to go back to check Asher’s name.
