Bad for my heart

Chapter 31.

Charlotte's POV.

I heard Adrian cry so I ran upstairs. I entered my baby's room and a man with black clothes was holding him. My heart stopped beating for a second and tears made it's way to my eyes.

"Who are you?" I managed to ask. If only Aiden or Benjamin was here I wouldn't be so scared. I am nothing without my boyfriend and brother. I am nothing without my gun.

"I knew it." He quickly looked at me. "I knew this baby wasn't Layla's, I can't believe you both fooled me." Diego said and I took Adrian from him. "I am telling Damien everything."

"No, you won't." I put Adrian in his crib. "Listen, Diego, I know I lied to you but I did it to protect my baby. You know Damien doesn't want my kids and even if he did, you know that the baby would be in danger. I don't want my son to live a life of fear. He is already a Carson. My brother has lots of enemies and they might use my baby to get to him but imagine if everyone finds out my baby is also a Knight. He will be in great danger so please don't tell Damien."

"I am sorry Charlotte but Damien is my best friend. He helped both my sisters when they were in trouble. He always helps my family and I will help him know the truth."

"Listen, Diego, I will call my brother. I will tell him you and Damien ar---."

"Call him." He interrupted. "Oh, I forgot you can't call your brother because, one, his ex-wife is in a coma, two, the woman who he loves is in a coma, three, the mother of his child is in danger and four, he doesn't know about your baby."

"I used to think you were different. Diego, when your wife accused you of having an affair with my best friend Layla, who helped you prove her wrong? When your crazy ex-girlfriend tried to kill her who helped you?" I asked. "I did, didn't I?"

"You and Damien both helped me." He replied. "I can't lie to him Charlotte. I love and care about Damien a lot, just like Tucker."

"I know you do and I know you want him to be happy." I stated. "Diego, he is happy right now. He has a fiancee and he will be getting married in a couple of days. So please keep your mouth shut until I make a plan."

"A plan for what? To get rid of me or to try and run away with my best friend's baby?" He asked and I started laughing. This guy is stupid if he thinks he can win a fight with me. I am not one of those girls they bully. I might be nice but I am not stupid.

"This is not your best friend's baby." I snapped. "Diego Smith." I walked closer to him. "I am Charlotte Carson Black and you know the bitch that gave birth to me never cared about me. I was raised by my stepbrother's mother. My father's only wife and you know she taught me to be good to everyone. She used to tell me every night, my little Char, evil doesn't exist. She said, no one is born evil, they only become evil." A tear dropped from my eye. "But she was wrong. You see, I am still Caroline's flesh and blood. And that bitch's blood runs through my veins. I don't care about anyone besides myself." I am lying about everything right now but he doesn't need to know that. I will do anything to make sure Adrian is safe. "I tried to bleed with you Diego but if you utter a word to Damien, I swear I will kill myself."

"I am not stupid Charlotte. You don't scare me." He tried to walk away but I stopped him.

"You don't want to try me, Mr. Smith." I quickly ran to the window. "I will throw myself out of this window and everyone will blame you for my death, including Adrian and Damien. I am not scared of death, Diego. I'll rather die a million times than letting Damien take Adrian away from me." I feel so sick right now. I am scared of falling out of this window but I can't let Diego know that. I need him to be scared. I don't want Damien in my baby's life.
