Charlotte's heart was plunged into an ice bath.
She did not think Leila knew anything significant about her, but that did not stop her from feeling a strange sense of doom as Isaiah took the file. She could not imagine what was in the file.
"Do not open it," Charlotte spoke out involuntarily.
She could not stop herself as she realised Leila's smile was getting wider as she looked at her. Moreover, there was an inhuman glint behind those wide and cute eyes that made her think of a playful kitten.
Except this kitten seemed to have dangerous claws…
"Why?" Isaiah paused with suspicion in his eyes.
Charlotte was disappointed by the obvious distrust in Isaiah's eyes. Through her marriage, she had never strayed. She was faithful, and she never lacked offers from other men in upper-class society.
After all, she was quite beautiful.
