What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

"Charlotte actually-"

"Excuse me, young master."

Just as Zayn was about to speak, Mira's voice sounded at the other end of the living room door.

Zayn immediately turned his gaze towards the sound and saw Mira, who was carrying tea and snacks on a tray.

She smiled and looked at Zayn softly, as if he were the only one in her eyes right now.

Zayn also smiled and said softly, "Mira, come in."

Mira immediately entered and served the tea and snacks on the table gracefully.

Charlotte, who had been watching Mira, didn't say anything and just looked at her coldly.

She knew Mira very well because she was Zayn's personal maid and always took care of his daily needs.

Of course, she hated Mira in her heart because she was very close to her beloved Zayn, and she could not tolerate any woman getting close to her beloved fiancé.

Although she knew that now she couldn't break her face in front of Zayn, she still felt a strong threat that Zayn would be taken by the women around him, and Mira was one of them, as was Zayn's younger sister, Chloe!

Charlotte knew that Chloe's feelings for her beloved Zayn were not just affection for her brother, but more than that!

And how does she know? Maybe it's a woman's instinct.

She won't let them take away the only man she loves, even if she uses violence!

Zayn is mine, only mine!

Charlotte thought to herself, and her sharp gaze never left Mira.

Mira frowned as she felt a sharp gaze and murderous intent directed at her.

Immediately she turned her gaze towards Charlotte, who was sitting and looking at her coldly.

Mira also stared sharply at Charlotte, but soon she smiled and greeted her politely, "Welcome, Miss Charlotte."

Although she was now the Welston family's future daughter-in-law and Charlotte, whose engagement had broken off with her husband, was nothing in front of her, surface politeness must come first.

After all, she would be the wife and mistress of the palace among Zayn's wives!

Elegance and patience should be the priorities.

However, she also hated Charlotte for ignoring her young master back then.

Who was the young master? The most talented and admired man in the entire capital,

His talent, looks, and background are nothing to beat at all!

If it weren't for him being lazy and feeling that it wasn't the right time to take over the Welston family, he would have turned the Welston family into a powerful force and even competed with the top families around the world.

However, who is Charlotte? Although she is very beautiful in appearance and talented in business, is she so arrogant that she neglects her young master?

Only coming from a second-class family that had just advanced to first-class, and that was due to the benefits of her engagement with her young master.

Therefore, she hates Charlotte in her heart, and now her engagement with her husband has been broken off.

Of course, she was very happy.

Mira kept her thoughts to herself and snorted coldly.

Charlotte just nodded and looked away from Mira.

If it weren't for this woman, she would have continued to talk warmly with her beloved fiancé.

It was a pity that this woman was interrupting her time with her beloved Zayn.

Zayn, who realized that they were at odds, immediately said softly to Mira, "Thank you, Mira, for your hard work."

Mira's face turned red upon hearing Zayn's praise, and she said with a smile, "It's okay, young master! It's my duty to take care of all your needs~"

Charlotte immediately realized the provocation in Mira's words towards her, and she was so angry that her fists clenched hard.

"Just a maid by my fiancé's side makes you so arrogant, huh!"

"When I get married to my beloved Zayn, I'll take over the entire task of taking care of my fiancé's daily life from you!"

"See how you'll try to steal him from me, huh!"

However, she soon came to her senses and snorted coldly in her heart.

She didn't take Mira seriously at all because of her status as Zayn's personal maid.

However, if she knew that the maid in front of her would be the wife approved by Zayn's parents... How would she react?

Mira quickly finished putting down the tea and snacks and bowed her head to Zayn, saying, "Then, young master, I'd like to leave."

Zayn nodded his head and winked at Mira, which made Mira's face blush, and she walked out quickly.

Not to mention, she bowed her head slightly to Charlotte.

However, before leaving, she mockingly smiled at Charlotte and walked out of the room.

Charlotte really felt a strong hatred in her heart towards Mira, who was mocking her!

However, she was only indifferent on the surface.

Soon she got rid of all her annoyance and looked at Zayn gently.

He wanted to talk to me about something, didn't he?

Was it about our engagement? Or maybe marriage?!

Does he want to marry me right away? Wow! How is this! My heart isn't ready!

However, if he insists, I can't help but agree, fufufu~

After we get married, how many kids does he want to have? One or two? Or even five!

I don't mind even if he asks for more than that! After all, I love him so much~

Whatever he wants, I'll grant it~

Oh, my darling Zayn, say it quickly, honey~ I can't wait~

Charlotte thought wildly and started thinking about her bright future with her fiancé in front of her.

However, Zayn's answer was like dropping a nuclear bomb right on her head.

"Charlotte, actually, our engagement is broken, and we have nothing more to do with each other."

"However, if you want to keep working with each other, of course I will be very happy and accept that."

Zayn sighed and finally decided to speak his mind.

Although Charlotte loved him so much, their engagement had been broken since the day before.

Moreover, he already had three fiancées arranged by his family.

He was also thinking of asking his mother to recover the engagement between them.

However, he was sure that Charlotte could not accept such conditions.

So he had no choice but to give up on her.

Charlotte's smile froze, but she forced a smile and flirtatiously said, "Zayn, since when are you so good at flirting? Fufu~ don't joke like that, honey~ I feel jealous, you know~"

Zayn could only regret that he could not accept her love at all.

Although initially he was not interested in Charlotte because of her indifferent face, knowing all her problems made him change his opinion about her.

The cold Charlotte turns out to be very beautiful when she can express her feelings like this.

Her spoiled and flirtatious nature really surprised him.

However, sooner or later, the Welston family would announce the divorce of their engagement and his three new engagements.

Of course, if he did not know at first that Charlotte loved him so much, he would not care if she knew or not.

Now, let's go with the flow.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte, but I'm not joking and this is the truth."

"Tomorrow, the Welston family will announce our divorce and also announce my new engagements." Zayn explained gently and hoped that she could accept the fact.

Hearing Zayn's answer, Charlotte's eyes suddenly looked dead.

Her whole body was very weak, and she asked questions in her heart.

"Why? Why is it like this?"

"Obviously, I was the first to meet him back then, and I also loved him first!."

"How can our engagement really be broken?"

"Was it because of my cold attitude towards him back then that he broke off the engagement?"

Tears fell down Charlotte's cheeks, and she looked at Zayn with a hint of hope.

" I-is there really no way o-our engagement can be recovered, honey?"

"You love me a lot, don't you?"

"Yesterday you asked me out the day after tomorrow, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry, Zayn. I'm sorry for making you always take the initiative."

"I-it's because I don't know how to relate to men, and I promise I'll change, and we'll always be together, okay?"

"Please, Zayn."

Charlotte looked up at Zayn through tears, and her red eyes really contained all her feelings.

Zayn really couldn't bear to see her cry, but the truth had to be told firmly: "Sorry, Charlotte, it's a family decision, and I know you won't accept that I have a wife other than you, right?"

He knew this and tried to give her a chance.

If she says that she accepts it, of course, he will discuss it with her mother.

However, he knew her proud and arrogant nature.

And sure enough, Charlotte suddenly refused with a firm, "No! I don't want to share with another woman! I'm the only one who can be your wife!"

Her red eyes looked dead, and she stared at Zayn strongly.

Zayn was surprised and suddenly saw Charlotte's similarity to Luna, as if she belonged only to them.

But I guess I was wrong, wasn't I?

She couldn't possibly be such an obsessive woman?

Zayn suddenly felt his back go cold and got goosebumps, but he quickly dismissed his thoughts because he felt that he had been in a relationship with Charlotte for only two years, unlike Luna, who had been in it since she was a child.

Looking at Charlotte, who looked so haggard like this, he could only say helplessly, "Anyway, it's already happened, and our engagement is broken."

Charlotte bowed her head, and Zayn had no idea what she was thinking.

So, he immediately wanted to give Charlotte some time.

"Charlotte, I'm going to go to my workspace for a minute and check something."

"I'll be right back."

Zayn looked at Charlotte heavily and spoke softly.

Soon, he walked out of the living room.

Charlotte stared at Zayn outside, and she immediately muttered lightly, "I won't let you go, honey~"

"You are mine alone!"

She turned her gaze toward Zayn's tea and smiled charmingly.

After three minutes,

Zayn entered the living room and was surprised to see Charlotte, who was already looking energized and different from her haggard look.

He felt relieved but also sad for her.

After he sat down, he looked at Charlotte and said softly, "So, Charlotte, are you feeling better?"

Charlotte looked at Zayn gently and smiled sadly.

"I've been thinking about it, Zayn, and I know that I can't be selfish, and I'm ready to accept that."

Zayn sighed and continued to listen to her words as he sipped his tea.

"I also recognize that it is difficult for us to be together right now, whether due to bad family relationships or other factors."

"It was also my fault for not being able to show my true feelings for you earlier, Zayn."

Charlotte said softly and looked at Zayn with affection.

Her red eyes showed her strong love for him.

Zayn put down his finished teacup and said softly, "Indeed, but we can still be best friends, Charlotte, and we can still work together in business in the future."

"You're right, Zayn."

"However, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Charlotte suddenly said lightly, and her eyes looked at Zayn obsessively.

"Because I will never let you go, honey~"

Zayn was surprised and looked at Charlotte in confusion, asking, "What do you mean, Charlotte?"

Charlotte didn't answer and just smiled charmingly while counting down.

"3"

"2"

Zayn had a bad feeling, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard Charlotte's flirtatious voice.

"1~"

"Boom!"

He fell onto the sofa and also felt his body limp and unable to move at all!

"What's going on?!"

"What's going on? I can't move at all!

Zayn was taken aback and frantically questioned himself in his heart.

He immediately thought of the tea he had drunk and glanced at the cup.

"Am I under anesthesia?!

"But who put the anesthetic on me?!

He thought quickly and immediately looked at Charlotte in surprise.

"Charlotte! Is that you?!"

Charlotte stood up and said softly, "Yes~ it's me, honey~"

"Why are you doing this to me, Charlotte?!" Zayn was really surprised now!

As it turned out, she was an obsessive woman like Luna!

Perhaps even more than Luna herself, who has now terrified him.

For the second time, he felt scared and helpless.

First it was Luna who kidnapped me, and now even Charlotte is drugging me!

Oh my! What's wrong with the women around me?!

He wanted to cry and beat up the one who arranged his destiny like this!

Charlotte didn't answer his question and walked toward him with a flirtatious smile.

"Honey~ I finally got you~"

She immediately sat beside Zayn and rubbed his face with affection.

"Do you know that I love you very much~"

"When I heard that our engagement had broken up, I was so scared that you would soon disappear and leave me."

Charlotte's blood-red eyes looked at him obsessively and possessively, and she said it with very strong affection.

Zayn got goosebumps hearing her words and regretted that he had let his guard down back then.

However, there is no cure for regret in this world.

He looked at Charlotte with complicated eyes.

She reminded him of Luna, who looked like her back then.

But because of his fear, he ran away from the problem and did not dare to face it at all.

Now, the same thing happened to him, and it was even worse.

Zayn took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down first, then looked at Charlotte pleadingly and said, "Can you not behave like this, Charlotte?"

"We can talk about it properly, you know?"

Charlotte said nothing in response to his plea and said it lightly.

"Honey, I didn't want to do this to you at first, but since you didn't want to fix our engagement, I was forced to do this."

She smiled flirtatiously and pressed her face to his.

Zayn couldn't resist at all now, and his body was held tightly by Charlotte.

Moreover, Charlotte has a relatively tall body and is more powerful than other women.

"Also, I was originally planning to just confine and tie you up, honey~"

She continued her words and suddenly took something out of her pocket.

Zayn broke out in a cold sweat and was scared to death as a fruit knife appeared in her hand!

"However, the Welston family's power will surely find us, and by then, we will never be able to be together again~." Charlotte smiled, and the red eyes did not contain the light that looked dead.

"So, we will go to heaven together, and no one will disturb our love, honey~"

Zayn is very anxious, and he doesn't want to die early!

"Charlotte! Stop!" Zayn said with difficulty, and suddenly the fruit knife stabbed his heart.

Zayn was in excruciating pain, and his vision was blurred.

He looked at Charlotte one last time, and he heard her soft voice say, "I'll be with you soon, my love~"

"No one will disturb us! No one~"

Soon, darkness invaded his consciousness, and he didn't remember anything else.
