Charlotte POV.
It would've been five years now, three days from now and it would've been our fourth anniversary. It started with just being friends with benefits but it becomes more. He made me his girlfriend after a year of being friends with benefits. It would be my longest relationship, actually, it was my only relationship. I thought we would last, but I was wrong. Nothing is always what it seems. It was too good to be true.
I kept drinking and the bartender kept asking if I had enough but no, how could I stop when my heart hurts. How I wish he was never bad for my heart, maybe if only I introduced him and Benjamin then it would've never hurt so much. But how could I when every time I make plans for them to meet one of them never shows up. I believe now that it was the universe telling me Damien and I were never meant to be.
The bartender gave me my third drink and I drank it. If my brother saw me right now he would lose his shit, after all, I promised him I would never drink more then one drink. Especially when I just got out of rehab. You all thinking wrong, I was never an alcoholic, I was in rehab because of drugs. I turned to drugs when I lost my baby and Damien the same night, and yes I do regret it. I regret everything, losing my baby and the drugs. The worse thing was my own brother had to be there for me and not the person who made me turn to drugs.
As soon as the bartender put the fourth drink on the table a guy disturbed me and asked me if I want a drink and I just nod because I was tried. Tired of always thinking Damien is going to come back, that he loves me. But now I know he feels nothing for me. "I'll quickly be back." I told the guy as I got out of my chair and went to the bathroom and when I come back the guy was still there. Gosh didn't he get my hint that I wanted to drink alone? I have my own fucking problems and I don't have time to turn them down. These guys just make me sick sometimes. They so desperate that sometimes I wish they could be like Damien but no I hate him. I wiped my tears away and fixed my dress as I walked to the bar where the guy had my drink.
"Thank you." I said taking my drink from him, I quickly drank my drink. "Why are you looking at me ?" I asked putting the cup down. This guy is definitely not my version of handsome.
"You very beautiful." He answered trying to touch my face but I didn't let him.
"Sorry I can't say the same about you." I know I was rude but I definitely don't have the energy of lying. I felt dizzy as I tried getting up so I sat back down but it didn't help everything went blurry for me, and this is when I knew I made the same mistake again.

Damien's POV.
I saw the guy say something to her but I couldn't hear what it was. I wanted to walk to the guy and shoot him in the head but I couldn't. I had to wait. When I saw her drink the cup the guy but down I knew then that they spiked her drink. How can she be so foolish and make the same mistake twice? That's when I lost it and got out of my seat but this time Diego was the one telling me to wait and so I did but I did that standing and watching Charlotte until she almost fell out of her seat but the two guys caught her. I knew Charlotte for so long to know that she would never pass out because of a few drinks. I don't know how she does it but she could drink the whole day and still not pass out.
I walked to the two guys and Charlotte and stood there as I tried to calm down. "What is going on ?" I fold my arms across my chest angry. I could see Charlotte's eyes were close.
"We don't want trouble." One of them said "Mind your own business. We got her first." The other guy said acting brave. What the fuck are they taking about? Do they even know who the hell I am?
"Do you even know who she is?" I asked not taking my eyes off Charlotte. They both just started laughing.
"Charlotte." One of them said "Boy, we don't need to know her in order to have a good time." The other guy added still laughing.
I can't believe all these people were just watching not even helping her. The guy spiked her drink and not even at least one of them called the damn police.
"Ooh, you want to have a good time ?" I asked as they both smiled. "We about to have the best time of our life boys. You will never forget tonight." I took out my gun and heard Diego say "Oh god."
I started shooting up at the roof and everyone ran out of the club screaming. The two guys were shocked. "You can go." I shouted at the bartender who was hiding. The two guys threw Charlotte at me but she fell on the floor. They just made a big mistake throwing Charlotte and running off. "Not you two." I said pointing my gun at them. "One more mover and you both dead." Diego walked to the door and closed it after everyone left except for the two guys. I picked Charlotte up and heard Diego say "Boss." I knew what he meant but Charlotte isn't heavy to cause me any damages, and even if she was heavy people should mind there own business and stop thinking I'm on my death bed just because I have a heart condition.
"It's not fair." One of the guys said as I put Charlotte behind the bar, I don't want her getting hurt if any of the guys get out of hand.
"We both equal." Diego answered them as he walked to the guys.
"We also want guns." One of them said, still hiding behind the other guy, acting brave.
"No need." I replied as I gave my gun to Diego. They were both surprised. "Take Charlotte to my house and stay with her. No funny business." I threw my house keys at him. I trust Diego a lot but I don't trust anyone with Charlotte. He quickly took Charlotte and went out if the club.
"Who's first?" I asked but they both moved back. What they don't know is that they will never make out of this club alive tonight. I was once an illegal fighter and not once did I lose a fight. I quit but that doesn't mean I still don't go there to fight sometimes.
*******
I opened my door and saw Diego sleeping on the couch. "You dirtying my couch." I shouted as I slam the door making Diego get up.
"Rude as always. Is it done?" He asked
"Yes." I quickly replied. "Take care of the bodies, and close the door behind you." I went upstairs and as soon as I opened my bedroom door she was sleeping so peaceful. I can't believe I missed her so much. I know I don't love her but that doesn't mean I hate her too. I knew she was a Carson black but I just never wanted to believe it. I never wanted to believe the fact that she's my fucken cousin's stepsister. She is the only daughter of Benjamin's father and Caroline. I took a blanket and covered her. That idiot just threw her on the bed.
I don't know how she's always so stupid leaving her drinks with a stranger. This is the second time I saved her because her drink was spiked. I kissed her forehead "Good night tiger." I whispered as I left and closed the door. I can't believe I'll be the one sleeping in one of the guest rooms when it's my goddamn house.
I went to bed even have thought I didn't change my clothes. I couldn't sleep. How can I sleep knowing my only ex is sleeping in the next room. It has been a year since I last saw her, but it feels like yesterday we were dating. I kept wondering what she wanted to tell me that night. I swear I knew it was important but damn that phone call was just as important. I just couldn't wait for her to wake the hell up and get out of my life.
I kept tossing and turning the whole night. I didn't get enough rest for my mission later on. It's five in the morning, I have just one more hour to get some sleep, and then at six, I would just wake Charlotte up myself if she doesn't wake up and take her to her house. I closed my eyes and that's when I heard her scream. I got out of bed and looked quickly for my gun in the drawer. I kept praying that it's not my enemies that broke in my house and got to Charlotte.
They can't touch her, they can't hurt Charlotte because if me. I took my gun and ran to my room where Charlotte was sleeping in. I opened the door pointing my gun at where Charlotte was supposed to be sleeping but there was no one there. How the hell did they take her quickly? "What the hell--" before I finished the sentence someone knocked me out and everything went blank.
