Winning My Ex Fiancee Back.

Chapter ONE.

Erika's POV.

"The necklace looks so good on you." Raven complimented me with a very huge smile on her face, and immediately she helped me with the necklace on my neck. I touched the diamond necklace that was given to me by my future in-laws.

It looked so good, and it matched with my white long dress. I would be getting married today. It was really a happy day in my life, and words can't express how happy I was.

I stood up from the chair, and admired my body shape that I could see through the mirror. "We should get going now. The guests must be waiting for us at the church." Raven reminded me, while she stared at the wristwatch that was right on her wrists.

I grabbed my crystal purse that was on top of the drawer, while she walked right behind me. We entered the car that was sent to pick us up at his house. My parents must be at the location already.

We were almost at the church. I was still finding it hard to believe that I would be getting married to him after four years of being together with him. Even though it was supposed to be a contract marriage, it happened that we both happened to fall in love, and that was the best part of it.

"Finally!" I muttered under my breath when we got to the church. I came down from my car, while I walked towards the entrance of the door. Raven walked right at my back as my best friend.

I looked right into the church and noticed that he wasn't there yet. I had to look at my wristwatch to confirm if I was not too early.

"The bride is here already." One of the guests announced this while all of them stared at me.

What is happening? I could see his dad walking to the entrance. "We have been trying his number, but it was switched off. It looked like he ran away." His dad informed me, while I squinted my eyes, knowing that it was not true.

"Have you tried calling his friend?" I questioned Charles's father.

"We tried his number; he told us that he couldn't reach him either." His father answered me. I touched my head in frustration. Why did he have to act this way on the most important day of my life?

"You don't have to ruin your makeup. We will just wait for him." He held my arm while he assisted me into the church.

"You don't have to feel bad." His mother, who was right by my side, told me while she patted my shoulder. They should do something about it. They had the power to find his location right now, and nothing was going to happen.

That was how powerful the family was.

Some of the guests were already complaining, while others were going. Why would he decide to humiliate me this way? After a few minutes of waiting, I heard that familiar voice.

It was that of Charles. He was here already. I looked back, and I was stunned to see him standing with a lady. He was with the popular actress. I squinted my eyes, hoping that I wasn't seeing the wrong thing.

"Why is he this way? Did you two have a fight before now?" His mother questioned me while I nodded my head in disapproval. There was no reason why the both of us would fight.

Anytime we fought, we would make sure to sort things out on that day, or a day before.

"No, mom." I answered her.

"I am so sorry if I came late." He apologized while he reached the front of the church. I looked at him, and the way he held the lady's wrist.

It looked as if he was so happy. "I am so sorry for coming late." He apologized again. He then looked at me, and I looked at him.

I was still confused by what was happening. I stood up from where I was sitting, and then walked up to him.

"What do you think you are up to? Why are you with her?" I questioned him. He diverted his gaze towards me.

"I am so sorry, Erika." He told me. He looked at the famous actress, who was right at his side, and then kissed her at my front. It was a very intense kiss.

I was expecting the guests to throw a tantrum, but it looked like they were really happy. It looked like they planned all of this. The tears were swelling up my eyes. I tried to hold it, but my emotions got the best of me.

Why would he decide to humiliate me this way? He then stopped kissing her immediately, and looked at the whole crowd.

"Miranda is mine. She is the one I like, and I am sorry for all that happened here." He apologized to the whole crowd. They all cheered him up instead.

I looked at his parents, and they weren't doing anything to stop him. After all the bonds that we shared together, this was the way that they decided to repay me? I thought they loved me as their future daughter-in-law, but it happened that they were waiting for this day also.

"Evans! Are you joking right now? If this is a joke or some sort of prank, it is better for you to stop now." I commanded him, and then he let out a soft chuckle.

"You fell for all my lies all these years?" He let go off Miranda's hand, while he walked closer to me, so that there was barely any space between us. "I never loved you from the start. I only use you for your body." He told me right in my ear.

I grabbed the necklace that was on my neck. "You are so evil." I shouted at him, while I threw the necklace and ran out of the church. "Erika! Wait?" I heard Raven's voice.

I bet she must be running after me also. "Taxi!" I shouted after I saw a can coming, and entered.

"Where are you going, ma'am?" He questioned.

"Just take me away from here." I instructed him while he drove off. I cleaned off my tears while I thought about those words he said to me earlier. It felt sharper than a two-edged sword.

I didn't know what a two-edged sword was like, but it was way more painful than that.

****

My feet were sore from walking barefooted on the silent road. I didn't know where I was going to. I don't know my destination or my location. Furthermore, I just wanted to be lost, and never be found. My heels were right in my hand while I kept on walking.

I felt that nausea immediately. I felt like vomiting. Furthermore, I went to a corner while I let it all out. I guess it was the stress.

"This is where you have been, Erika." Raven was here already. I wondered how she got to find me. I didn't bother to reply to her, while I acted like nothing happened.

"You have to stop all of this, and come back home with me." She urged me.

"You don't have to act..." I didn't let her complete her sentence before being interrupted.

"Act what? Do you know the kind of humiliation that I went through? Four years with him were a joke. Huh? Do you know how painful that sounds?" I questioned her, while she just let out a huge sigh again.

"I just want to..." I felt nauseous again, while I ran to the corner to let it all out. "You have to rest, Erika." Raven told me while she patted my back. I was feeling so dizzy that I could barely see anything.

Everywhere was getting blurry-not until I fell to the ground, feeling lifeless!

*BLACKOUT*

The ceiling was really blurry. I opened my eyes slowly, while I noticed that I was in a very unfamiliar environment. I remembered all that happened yesterday at the church, which made me sighed deeply.

Furthermore, I raised my head slowly, and then saw the doctor discussing it with Raven. I didn't know what the two talked about, because he left immediately. Raved turned back to look at me and said that I was awake already.

"You are awake." I could see the sorrow in her eyes. Why is she sad? Was it because of what happened yesterday? "What did your doctor tell you?" I asked her out of curiosity.

I remembered that I had fainted last night; maybe I was sick or something. Or could it be a terminal disease?

She held my hand immediately when when when she got to where I was. "The doctor said that you are pregnant." She announced it to me.

Chapter Two.

*FIVE YEARS LATER*

Charles's POV.

"I'm sorry. I will let you know my decision later in the day. You can speak with my secretary, and she would give you a date we could get to meet with each other." I was not comfortable with what the CEO was telling me at the time.

I happened to know about his company, and it turned out that I was not looking for someone like him. My company was going to do his company a very huge favor, but it wouldn't add anything to mine.

We live in a selfish world. We have to make sure that we don't get to help people anyhow without getting anything in return, especially when it comes to business.

I should have rejected him straight, but I didn't want to become the one that everyone fears.

"Okay!" He excused himself from where I was. I took the shot that was on the table while I gulped down all the wine that was in it. The meeting was a little bit boring for me. I wasn't a fan of parties, and I didn't know how to interact with people either.

I just came here for one reason: "He would be here soon." Linda, my secretary, came to inform me while I nodded. It was almost time for me to meet with David. I haven't seen David before, so I don't know what he looks like.

He is one of the youngest millionaires, close to being a billionaire. I am the youngest billionaire in the whole country. I still find that amusing, though.

"Just bring him here to me when he is around." I instructed her, while she walked out of my sight.

I heard about him and his company. He said he wanted to see me, and I felt it would be so great if the two of us got to cooperate with each other. I looked around the crowd while my eyes spotted Erika.

"Erika?" I muttered under my breath upon seeing her. My heart started beating a little bit faster. I didn't know the reason why it was that way. All that we had with each other came back to mind.

She is back in town? I remembered how much I looked for her after what happened, but I didn't get to find her. Seeing her this night was so shocking to me.

Our eyes met, and she stared at me for a while before she started moving to where I was. How does she get to come to a party like this? "Erika! Long time, no see." I greeted her immediately, and she got to where I was.

"It has been long. I was expecting to see you here, and I saw you. Your job really suits you well. You look so good as the CEO." She complimented me with a smile on her face.

The smile on her face still looked the same. Why was she trying to act like nothing happened between us? I bet she doesn't even have feelings for me anymore after what I did to her. I bet she doesn't even know the reason why I did that a few years ago.

"Yes! You always wanted to see me in this position, and now you are seeing me." I reminded her while she chuckled. She itched her head in nervousness. "I am so sorry. Did I really say that? I can't remember." She stated while the smile faded from her face slowly.

"It was so weird meeting like this. You should enjoy this meeting." She told me, with the very straight expression on her face.

"I have been looking for you, Erika. Where have you been?" I saw a man interrupting our discussion. The way he placed his hand on he shoulder was a little bit annoying.

Are they in a relationship? Why was he acting that way with her. "I have been here." She said to him while she pecked him right in my presence. I swallowed my saliva while I watched the both of them displaying their love play right at my front.

What are they up to? "Oh! I am so sorry. I am David Wilson." He stretched out his hand for a handshake. He is David? Doesn't even he recognize me? I guess we don't even know each other.

"I am Charles Evans." I introduced myself to him while his hand covered his mouth in shock. I guess he was really surprised..

"Oh! I am so sorry that I didn't get to recognize you." He apologized to me

"It isn't your fault. You just happened not to recognize you, I bet he doesn't know that you were the one also." Erika chipped in while I scoffed.

Out of anger, I grabbed her arm and took her out of the hall. My hand was still on her wrists.

"Who is he? How are you two related to each other? Are you in a relationship already?" I questioned her out of curiosity. I didn't know if I was just being angry, or I was just being jealous.

"You are hurting me, Charles." She told me while I looked at her wrists,and then let her go.

"What made you think that I was going to reply you? Have you forgotten you never loved me? Why are you acting this way? Are you just being insecure?" She scoffed. How was I going to explain to her that everything I said the other day was just a lie.

How was I going to tell her that I was diagnosed with a terminal sickness? I might get to die anytime also?

"What if he is just playing you or something? Are you two in a relationship?" I furthered questioned her. I really want to control myself, and stop asking her these questions, but I couldn't just control myself.

"You didn't have to drag her out that way, don't you think that was too disrespectful of you?" I heard David voice, and saw him right behind her. She was putting on a strapless gown, while he brought out his suit and he wore it for her.

"She is someone special to me. Do you have any problems with it?" He furthered questioned me while he walked to her front.

"We should get going, David. There is no need for us to talk to him. I will explain everything to you at home." Erika held his arm, while she almost walked out of me.

"Whoever I am with has nothing to do with you. When you got my parents' shares and cheated on me, we have nothing to do with each other since then. So you should just mind your business." She turned back to me only for her to tell me that before she got to walk away completely with their arms intertwined.

What the hell is happening to me?

Chapter Three.

Erika's POV.

I got into David's car while I let out a huge sigh. "You are perfect at acting." I complimented him while I burst out into laughter. It was funny, and at the same time, it was really painful.

"That is the father of your child? Are you sure you are okay? I mean, you, uhm, you haven't seen him in a while, and with the way he acted, it looked like he still had feeling for you." He questioned me.

"You know I am not that weak, and besides, my daughter doesn't have a father. I was the one who raised her, and I am her father also." I corrected him.

I didn't think that I would ever be able to accept the fact that he was the real father of Rose. I knew how much I struggled to get to the stage where I was. It wasn't easy for me to raise up my child, so I wouldn't just want him to come and claim Rose that way.

David ignited the car engine while he drove off. My mind went to all that happened in the past.

It was so tough meeting him today, even though I was the one who planned the meeting. I just wanted to show Charles that I was doing fine already, even though I was not okay.

The only way I could do that was to take someone with me, and act like I had already moved on. To be very honest, I don't know if I have moved on already. All what I felt today was irritation and disgust.

We got to my house in no time. "Thank you very much for your help." I appreciated David; immediately I came down from the car, and he came down from the car also.

"Are you sure that you would be okay after what happened this night? What if he doesn't want to partner with you anymore?" I questioned David out of worry.

"Are you kidding? It's going to be a huge loss to both our companies if he rejects the offer, so I don't think that there would be any reason for him to reject it. He might even want to get closer to you after what happened." David answered.

"Help me greet Rose." He sent his regards to my daughter. "Sure." I answered while I walked into my compound. David was a really close friend of mine.

After the both of us met when I gave birth, he even wanted to be the father of my child, but I turned down the offer since I was not interested at that moment.

I didn't want to be in any relationship with him; I just wanted to maintain the relationship that we had with each other. I walked into my house while I got welcomed with a very soft, warm hug from my daughter.

Furthermore, I squatted down to her level while kissing her on the cheeks. I love her so much, and I would do anything for her. "How was it?" Raven interrupted the mother-daughter moment that the both of us were having that moment.

*****,

I was on the bed, while I tossed around the bed trying to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. I came down from the bed, and then went to the balcony to watch the stars, and reminisce about the old memories.

Furthermore, I remembered what happened in the past between Charles, and me.

I thought my relationship with Charles was a disaster from the start. My relationship started with a contract marriage, without my knowing about it. My parents were excellent at keeping secrets, even though they were not meant to be kept.

I still remember the first day Charles came to my house. I was just eighteen years old when I fell in love with him at first sight. Everything about him was the real definition of being perfect.

I remembered how desperate I was, for his attention then.

He discussed it with my parents all afternoon in the study. I was eavesdropping outside the door and only heard the word "share". Charles came out of the room to smoke, smiling at me, who was eavesdropping outside the door. At this time, my parents said to me, "This is the heir of the Evans industry and your future husband." I never felt a surge of happiness.

I was so happy that I was going to get married to a man as perfect as that. It was shocking to me, and at the same time, I loved him so much.

After that, Charles often came to my house to discuss the shares with my parents, even though I didn't get to know what they were talking about.

After my parents died a year later in a plane crash, I found a contract while sorting through their belongings. Only then did I get to discover that my parents gave Charles their shares in Evans Industries at the cost of her marriage. Although I was sad about losing her parents, she still looks forward to her marriage to Charles.

We were in love already, and the contract was not important anymore.

I sold my mom's company after everything that happened between us. I didn't want to have anything that related to both of us together.

I felt like sleeping, while I went back into my room, so I could get to sleep, and prepare for tomorrow.

******

I went to Wilson's; That was where I was working for now. I was a great asset to the company. Furthermore, I came up with some of the ideas for that company.

David was the CEO, while I was the manager. We work hand in hand with each other most of the time. I walked into my office while being welcomed by my personal assistant.

"You would be meeting with the CEO of Evan's group today." She informed me while I opened my eyes in surprise.

"Isn't that supposed to be David's work?" I wondered why I would be the one assigned to attend to Charles.

"It happened that you were the one meeting with him. David said, I should make you do it." She answered. I rubbed my head in frustration.

Why does it have to happen now, of all times? What is David up to?

After a while, I walked out of my office, only to see my daughter and Charles together. It turned out that he was having coffee. When did he get here?

"Rose!" I called out to my daughter while I hurriedly went to where she was.

"Take her away from here." I instructed my personal assistant.
