"This place…" Charlotte stared at the simple villa they were walking in. "... is yours?"

"No." Axel looked back at her and added, "It's my brothers. This is where he currently stays since it's near to his office."

"Oh." Charlotte nodded in understanding, following Axel to the front door and onto the receiving area. 

As soon as they arrived in the receiving area, she caught someone seated on the couch. Deep lines appeared between her brows, following Axel slowly. She studied the man, and her step slowed down even more.

Charlotte had met many formidable men in her life. At least, she had a glimpse of them from afar because her mother was surrounded by them. So, she could tell that whoever that person seated on the couch, was no simple man. Charlotte intuitively walked closer to Axel, almost hiding behind him.
