Caroline’s POV:“What? I would never!” I nearly shouted, forced to keep my voice down so George wouldn’t stir. “You can’t possibly think I had something to do with this!”Instead of answering, the nanny quickly came forward to take George out of my arms. For George’s sake, I didn’t protest, but I wa

Caroline’s POV:“George? William? Where are you?” I cried out, rushing from room to room in search of the pair. Was I too late? Had the nanny already taken George? Where was William? My heart pounded as I searched high and low for them, terrified that I was too slow and that something terrible had
Caroline’s POV:My eyes carefully observed the CCTV footage, scrutinizing every second with careful eyes. With George left in Gerald’s hands, it left me enough time to search for evidence of Sandra’s crime. If this was all a nefarious trap set up by Sophia to get me in trouble with William, then t
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:After some extensive testing by the doctors and regular check-ups, William was finally moved to a regular ward. I watched after him during that time, always watching to ensure that he wouldn’t suddenly die on me. During that time, we had several long talks. He was as cordial
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“Please! Wake up! You shouldn’t just die like this!” I desperately tried to cover his wound with my hand, but the blood kept flowing uncontrollably.“Miss, calm down, we have to get him to the hospital first!”Police had to tear me away from William’s body so that he could be
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“Lily?” I peered behind me to see William standing in the doorway, his eyes wide in disbelief. It was as though he were seeing a ghost. He knew the identity of my kidnapper, and from the look on his face, I knew we were in trouble.A bitter smile crossed Lily’s face. “Long t

Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“But why?” I asked, confusion thick in my voice. “I didn’t ask for this. What is he trying to pull here?”“I’m just acting on Mr. Anderson’s behalf,” the lawyer stated politely. “I don’t know any more than you do. Now, please verify the terms and sign the document, and you ca
