Caroline’s POV:Although I was very stern with how I’d posed the question, I didn’t think it was at all difficult to answer. William had once determinedly admitted to the public that Sophia was his fiancée. Ironically, he never even revealed to the press that I was his ex-wife. Of course, this didn
Caroline’s POV:Just from the look of reluctance on William’s face, I could tell he wasn’t ready to give up the idea of controlling me. No matter what, he was determined to find a way to trap me in and marionette my actions from afar.Nonetheless, this outcome was still fantastic for me. I would be
William’s POV:I watched carefully as Caroline exited the kitchen and slowly made her way to the stairs. Her soft footsteps sounded above me as she made her way to the spare room, and only when she collapsed onto the mattress did I breathe a sigh of relief. Caroline was a woman too curious for her o
Caroline’s POV:After solving the issues of freedom that had been plaguing me for so long, I finally felt ready to get some restful sleep. At least, that was what I thought, but as I continued to lay on my bed, my thoughts were flicking wildly back and forth inside my skull. Would I be able to find
Caroline’s POV:The next morning I sat up in my bed with a yawn and a stretch. I was initially reluctant to go downstairs and face William, but I was swiftly reminded that it was the first day of my new job. A smile spread across my face and I quickly left my bed to get dressed.When I came downstai
Caroline’s POV:Nowadays, people only know me as the ex-wife of a billionaire. My name was completely forgotten outside of the occasional tabloid suffering from a slow news day. Yet, there was once a time where my name had been spoken fondly of by some of the more renown names in the fashion industr
William’s POV:A luxury car was waiting for me just outside of the villa, with my personal chauffeur patiently standing just outside the door. He looked up at me as I approached and gave me a respectful nod. “Good morning, Mr. Anderson. I have arranged for my brother to pick up Miss Caroline after
Caroline’s POV:On the way to the main building where I was to start my very first day of work, my driver suddenly received a call. The surprised “Mr. Anderson” he gave right away revealed that it was William. What could he be calling my driver about? He wasn’t going to ask him to turn around and s
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:I felt only discomfort at William’s words. The mask was off, and there was no pretending that I wasn’t the woman he thought I was. He used Daniel to lure me out of the woodworks, and now utilized his own son as a way to keep in contact with me. The aspects of myself I had wor
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:I returned to the office building with a scowl written over my face. I came to stand outside my office, taking a deep breath to prepare myself, before barging through. “Alright, William, let’s not waste any—” I stopped when I was met with an empty room. My brow furrowed and
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:We woke up early the next day, where Selena complained of a light hangover. It was quickly rectified by some water and a light snack, and we spent the morning chatting over our shared interest in fashion. Though she did most of the talking, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Selena co
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:A crack of thunder echoed from outside my open window. I closed my book and took a look outside, only for the first droplets of rainfall to hit my nose. A yawn was drawn out of me as I closed my window, and I got ready for a nice rest in bed. Just as my eyes were beginning t
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The cut was accidentally caused in the brawl with the creeps that tried to take advantage of Selena. I had ignored that I’d been cut so deeply, too distracted by caring for Selena. Had she not spoken a word, I would have almost forgotten about it.“I can take care of it mysel
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:I watched as Selena began to pace anxiously around the room. She held the phone in her hands like it was a bomb ready to explode at the slightest touch.“Selena, just take a seat,” I urged. “It’s just a call from Elbert. Just answer it and tell him that you’re okay.”“What am
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The drive back to my home was stark silent. I suspected it was because of Selena’s embarrassment about being too in over her head and having to be rescued. For that reason, I didn’t push her to talk, merely continuing to chauffeur her to safety. When we arrived, I opened the
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:I rolled down my window to catch a glimpse of what the men were saying to Selena.“Come on, baby girl,” one of the creeps said. “Let us take you home. We’ll show you a good time.”One of his lowlife friends snickered in agreement. “Yeah, babe. We’ll take you for a ride. It’s
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:Thankfully Elbert had kept his word about having my car fixed. It was in the driveway in time for me to head home. The drive to the Lambert estate was a silent and uneventful one. My mind was filled with the images of the dinner catastrophe that had happened less than thirty
