Confronting My Brother

Charlotte's POV

"What is going on, Charlotte? Are you okay?" Cecily asked with worries on her face when she found me on the stairs with luggage in my hand.

"I hated Jack, Cel. He was lying to me, to all of us." I responded as I continued walking down the staircase, holding back my tears while she walked beside me.

"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.

"Jack was only here in Barcelonia to work, and my brother paid him to become my cook. He was not in love with me. He knew from the start I was here because he signed a contract with my brother." I declared, and all the pain I felt came rushing back to me.

Last night, I cried until there were no more tears left, and I promised myself not to cry anymore, but the pain of his betrayal cut so deep.
