Caroline pov:The game was exhilarating. I've never experienced such a rush of adrenaline before. The crowds were roaring, and I was screaming along with them. I think I even lost my voice. I spent most of the game captivated by Nathaniel's performance. He played amazingly, moving swiftly and evading hits. They won 24-15, and the crowds went wild after the final touchdown.I finally understood the appeal of football, the electric atmosphere, the game itself, and the adrenaline rush. It felt almost addictive. I even surprised myself by running up to Nathaniel after the game, gushing about how incredible he was. He just laughed at my enthusiasm.At that moment, we seemed to have forgotten our mutual dislike for each other. But the moment was short-lived as the other boys came and whisked Nathaniel away, chanting "Go Falcons!" I vowed to never take football for granted again.However, that was half an hour ago. Now, I'm angry and irritated, having been waiting for that idiot to finish
Caroline pov:"Don't do this please, someone is here," I begged him, screaming.Hopefully, please let it be Natasha and the girls. They would help me if they saw this.He ignored me and I heard the distinct sound of his joggers hitting the floor and soon after felt a thrust as he entered me.I screamed and the table moved a few inches so I grabbed onto it to keep me from falling."No," I said and pushed my hips into him.We both moaned from the feeling of him burying deeper. My pussy clenched at his cock."Is this crazy?" He uttered.He thrusted until he let go completely and was pounding all his frustration and anger into me.He sinks his teeth into my back, eliciting a guttural groan from me."You like this Don't you? I can feel you creaming all over my dick." He
Caroline pov:I was sitting between Natasha and Adam in the living room, while Grayson and Nathaniel had left earlier. I was the only one who didn't know where they had gone, and when I asked Natasha about it, she acted strangely, I noticed Dylan giving her a look, so I decided to drop the topic.Rose went upstairs to take a "beauty nap," and I admitted that I didn't like her, though I don't hate her either. I wondered if Nathaniel had invited her for some reason, perhaps to annoy me. Or did he invite her to have sex?"Do you want to go to the jacuzzi?" I felt Adam nudge my shoulders."There's a jacuzzi here?" I was surprised. It had been a long time since I had been in one, and I needed to relax."Yeah," he said, getting up. "Want to come with me?""Sure," I said, getting excited."Dude!" Dylan said to Adam, giving him a disapproving loo
Caroline pov:He pulled my bikini and shorts away, leaving me naked. He stood up, unzipping his pants and looking at me hungrily.Fuck, his dick was massive and hard, I craved it deep inside me.Who cares if someone walks in? All I wanted was to feel him inside me, to know how he felt.He slipped between my legs, and kissed my inner thighs, making me moan. He licked my pussy, causing my back to arch, then spat on it, rubbing the wetness in.He positioned himself between my legs, placing them on his shoulder. Slowly, he pushed his dick into me, making me moan, moving carefully to avoid hurting me."Damn, this is so tight. Fuck!" He grunted.He couldn't stop now, pounding into me like a beast, our skin slapping together as his groans and my moans filled the room. It was incredible, but not as incredible as when Nathaniel did it. It fe
Caroline pov:I fluttered my eyes open, only to find the other side of the bed eerily empty and cold."Hmm, I wonder what time it is," I mused, realizing I must have overslept after yesterday's exhaustion.The door was ajar, and I could hear voices drifting up from downstairs. For a moment, I indulged in the luxury of having the spacious bed all to myself. But duty called, and I knew I had to get up and face the day.As I made my way to the bathroom, I noticed I had forgotten to pack my own toiletries."Ah, well, I suppose I'll just have to borrow his," I said with a playful shrug, already anticipating his inevitable protest.However, my lighthearted plan was cut short when I heard hurried footsteps approaching.Turning around, I was met with a sight that made my heart skip a beat, he was storming towards me, his express
Caroline pov:Everyone was acting super strange today. And Adam and Rose had vanished into thin air. I asked Natasha about it, but she was clearly lying through her teeth.I had slept in late, missing whatever had happened in the morning. But when Nathaniel and I finally showed up, everyone was grinning suspiciously at us, like they were hiding something.I had a sneaking suspicion they had overheard Nathaniel and me having sex. Addison kept giving me a worried look as if she knew something I didn't, but she refused to say anything.I was just trying to make sure Adam was still alive, but he wasn't answering my texts. There's no way Nathaniel could have killed him, right?He probably just sent Adam home. Nathaniel even made sure I had breakfast, watching me eat intensely. It was a weird gesture, but then he disappeared as soon as I finished my meal. If t
Caroline pov:As he said that, he walked off. What a jerk. I know the dress didn't make me look like a slut, he was just being his usual douchebag self. I won't let him ruin my night. Let me go back to talking to that cute guy I was speaking with before he left.I assumed his name was Mark. I remembered him mentioning something like that. I made my way through the crowd towards the pool, trying to walk straight in these heels, which seemed impossible."Hey," I felt someone grabbing my arms.I looked back to see Addison's face. She was talking to me now?"Do I look like a slut, Addie?" I asked her, pouting. "Nathan said I looked like a slut."She looked at me confused and shook her head."Listen, don't drink whatever he gives you," she said, looking panicked.That sobered me up quickly."Drink what
Caroline pov:The minutes ticked by as I nervously perched on the stairs, eyes glued to my phone, waiting for a text from the driver. With each passing moment, my anxiety surged, and paranoia crept in.Suddenly, a deep voice shattered the silence, "What are you doing?"I practically jumped out of my skin as Nathaniel appeared, confusion clouding his face as he eyed my bag.His expression quickly transformed into anger."Where do you think you're going?" he demanded."Home," I murmured, barely above a whisper, trembling in his presence."Get back inside, Caroline," he ordered, taking a step forward, causing me to retreat."I'm going home, Nathan. I'm sick of you guys!" I shouted in frustration, throwing my hands up in exasperation."You all freak me out!"He p
Caroline pov:***One Week Later***“Thank you all for being here. I know Addison would have appreciated it,” Grayson said into the microphone.I couldn’t believe how calm he was. I was a mess, tears streaming down my face all day. I kept replaying the promise I made to Addison in my head. I was supposed to be there for her, but now she was gone, buried six feet under. They said it was a freak accident, but I know her parents were hiding the truth.Being back in Toronto brought back a lot of bad memories, but I knew I had to say goodbye to this life before starting a new one. I couldn’t leave without saying a proper goodbye to Addison.***Flashback to the Hospital***“I told you I’m here and I’m never leaving you,” I said, pulling him into a hug.“I forgive you. It wasn’t your fault. You were just a kid who had a terrible life,” I whispered into his neck.“I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you. I regret everything I did. If I could go back and change it, I would,” he said.“I forgive you
Caroline pov:***AFTER ONE MONTH***The small hospital room was filled with the steady ticking of the clock, each tick a reminder of the day I had both dreaded and prepared for.It had been a month since I confronted Nathaniel about what he did to my mom and brother.A month filled with anxiety and fear as I prepared to bring a new life into this chaotic world. And now, the moment had finally come.The delivery room was bright and clean, I lay on the bed, feeling the weight of the baby inside me as contractions began to crash over me like waves.Each wave of pain was a reminder of the life I had created with the man I feared most.Nathaniel was just sitting there in the corner, constantly reminding me of my messed-up past.I wished he wasn't around. I felt stuck, like a bird locked up in a cage. It wasn't just a
Caroline pov:I stood at the edge of the lake, my heart racing with a mix of relief and dread. I was finally here, far away from that suffocating apartment, staring at the peaceful water.I had been waiting for this moment, waiting for the right time to confront him, but it never seemed to come.Weeks passed, and I kept trying to figure out how I felt, but the more I tried to convince myself things were fine, the more I knew they weren’t.I had lied to myself and pretended everything was okay. It was easier that way. But I couldn't keep doing it. I needed answers.“Did you kill my mother and brother?” I asked, my voice barely more than a whisper.I kept my eyes fixed on the water, afraid to look at him, afraid of what I might see in his expression.The air between us felt heavy, and I could sense his te
Nathaniel pov:I looked down at Caroline, her soft breaths brushing against my chest as she slept. There was so much I needed to take care of, so many problems waiting to be dealt with, but I couldn’t leave her right now. Not with everything she’d been through.Telling her about Addison was so hard. The way her face crumbled when I told her... it wrecked me. I didn’t want her to blame herself, but of course, she did. That’s just how she is. Addison was the only friend she had left, and now even that was gone. I prayed the memorial would give her some kind of peace, but Taehyung? He wasn’t going to let it slide. And neither was I. Adam would pay for what he did, and I wouldn’t stop until I found him.I glanced at Caroline’s bruised face, her fragile body curled up close to mine. Everything about her screamed broken, but there was still so much strength in her. Now, it was just us, me, Nari, and our baby. No one else mattered. Her mother, her brother... they’d always stood in our way
Caroline pov:I was curled up in bed, spooning tomato soup into my mouth, the warmth of it barely soothing the storm inside me.A few hours ago, I didn’t expect Nathaniel to bring me to a sleek penthouse in Berlin, Germany. Nor did I expect the sea of reporters waiting outside. He mumbled something about his father and the cult, but honestly, I was too drained to pay attention.My thoughts were louder. He killed my family. No matter how hard I tried to push that fact aside, every time I looked at him, the truth hit me harder.I vaguely remember him saying he’d been working with the FBL for some time, something about them trying to nail his father for years but never finding enough evidence. They finally caught him laundering money from investors.I was worried that they’d drag Nathaniel down with him, but he assured me he was an informant. Stil
Caroline pov:***NEXT DAY***Slowly opening my eyes, I felt a throbbing pain in my head. How long have I been asleep? The last thing I remembered was Nathaniel's eyes and the blood.Was he really there or was it just a dream? The smell of strong disinfectant confirmed I was in the hospital.I blinked slowly, trying to survey the room, but my neck was stiff. The oxygen mask on my face felt uncomfortable as if I had been hit by a car multiple times. My throat was as dry as a desert."Hey, don't move," a shadow loomed over me.He was here. I tried to speak, but my mouth was covered by the mask. I needed water, but I couldn't ask for it."I know you're in pain, Love, but you need the oxygen for the baby," he said, gently brushing my hair away from my face.The baby? Was the baby still alive? I was confus
Nathaniel's POV:"How is she?" The words left my mouth with a sense of urgency I couldn't hide, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest.The doctor smiled softly, "They both are stable right now."Both? Confusion hit me like a slap. The baby?"Wait... both?""The baby, sir."My heart stuttered."But she was bleeding... I thought..." I couldn't even finish the sentence.The blood, the chaos, I had been sure we had lost it. The baby couldn't have survived, right?"That was due to stress," the doctor explained patiently."It's not uncommon for some women to experience light bleeding. With everything she went through, it's expected."The relief that washed over me was almost too much to handle. I nodded, absorbing her words."The baby's
Nathaniel pov:"They'll be fine, boss," Theo said, his eyes meeting mine with a calmness I couldn't quite share."Just give me five more minutes."I glanced down at her still body, the oversized, tattered shirt hanging off her frame like she was disappearing into it.She looked so small, so fragile. I could barely recognize the girl I once knew. Her cheeks were hollow, and her eyes, though closed, seemed to carry the weight of everything she’d gone through.The image of her crumpled on the roadside was seared into my mind. If we hadn’t found her when we did, I don't think she would’ve survived. She was already halfway gone.When she first saw me, her eyes were wide, but it was like she didn’t even register who I was.I had to shake her gently, terrified that she might not recognize me at all. For a mome
Caroline pov:The night was eerily silent, like a graveyard. The sky was a deep, inky black, speckled with a million stars gazing down. But inside me, a storm raged as fierce as any thunder outside.Her hand gripped mine, pulling me toward the car that idled nearby, its engine humming like an anxious predator.“Come, Caroline. The car’s waiting,” she urged, her voice tense as angry shouts echoed behind us.Her face, a mask of concern, twisted in the dim light, but I couldn’t bring myself to trust her.For all I knew, she could be one of them. How could she claim to be my aunt when my mother never mentioned her? And why now, after all these years?Nathaniel, at least I knew he wasn’t with them. He had always wanted to protect me. But her? She was a stranger, and this was my one chance to break free.
