Caroline’s POV:“William!” I screamed out in horror. “Are you crazy?” I knew I shouldn’t have upset him at that moment, but William wasn’t answering me. I wanted to smack him across the face, but halted myself just in time. Who knew what kind of retribution he would get on me if I decided to fight b
William’s POV:While sitting in the helicopter, I kept replaying what had happened in the past few days in my mind. Indeed, I was hit with a plethora of troubles. Things were complicated and I didn’t know how I was going to say it to Caroline.I had people practically scour the entire city for my so
William’s POV:“This is ridiculous!” I shouted out loud, pacing back and forth in fury while Laura watched on from her seat. “I live in a house of snakes. I can’t believe I trusted you with my own child!” “Mr. William, you told me you would spare us if I told you the location of your son,” Laura r
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:I sprinted over and fell to my knees in front of William, quickly lifting his upper body into my lap. He looked to be in agony. Picking up the emptied pill bottle on the floor, I checked the label, only to find it torn off. I couldn’t deduce what illness he had.“William, wha
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
