Caroline’s POV:As Sophia’s hand touched the jacket that shrouded my face, time seemed to come to a standstill. Waiting for my inevitable doom was torturous. My heart began to race and I felt myself enter fight or flight mode. I couldn’t bear this humiliation and knew I had no choice but to lash out
Caroline’s POV:My skin prickled with discomfort as I felt a steady rage overcome me. How dare William treat me like that? He thought he could just let Sophia make me out to be a jealous witch in front of the entire company and then turn around and kiss me on the head like I was his sweetheart. I w
Caroline’s POV:“Who the hell is responsible for the video?!” I demanded tensely. And James was frightened to jump slightly in place when I slammed my fist down on my desk in rage.He didn’t offer a word at first, simply pulling out his phone and presenting me with a separate video. “This was taken
Caroline’s POV: My hands were shaking so hard that my phone nearly fell out of my hands. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down, and against my better judgment, I scrolled down to see the comments of the video. As I expected, they weren’t a pretty sight. ‘That lady just tried to murder her! She needs to be arrested and thrown in prison!’ ‘Oh my God, that poor woman! I couldn’t imagine having such a jealous monster after me. Scary!’ What were they saying about me? Jealous monster? I was almost overwhelmed by the vast majority of maliciousness from strangers. But they didn’t stop… ‘I feel so bad for Sophia! I hope that killer gets what’s coming to her!’ ‘Hey, I found that jealous bitch’s social media.

Caroline’s POV:It seemed that everyone was glued to their phones while I was lost in a haze of confusion. I had powered off my cell phone after it was overwhelmed by spam messages, so I was completely out of the loop. Judging by the reactions of the people around me, something bad had happened to S
Caroline’s POV:When I arrived at the parking lot, William was sitting in his car with George on his thighs face to face. A soft smile was on his face as he playfully jingled his keys in front of the little baby’s face. George reached up for the keys with a giggle on his lips, but it always remained
Caroline’s POV:“No, no, no. It couldn’t be.” I was already on my way down the villa stairs while William chased after me. I didn’t want to be anywhere near him at that moment. George bounced in my arms, confused and disturbed by everything that was going on. “Caroline, calm down. Please let me exp
Caroline’s POV:“So what are you trying to tell me?” I asked with a distinct tremble in my voice. I was overwhelmed by all the information and could hardly believe what I was hearing. “What is this ‘plan’ you have for Sophia?”William took a deep breath. George was whining in his arms from the flurr
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

William’s POV:Watching Evelyn’s car drive away from my window wasn’t easy. My throat tightened and I spent some time on my bed, wallowing in regret. I couldn’t tell if the ache in my chest was from my condition or the knowledge that I was deceiving Evelyn.I shouldn’t have argued with her. I should
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The doctor took one look at the pill and swiftly provided an answer. “Miss, this is a medication used to treat cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, it’s commonly used for myocarditis.”My heart sank like it was weighted by stones. “Myocarditis? Are you sure?” I asked,
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
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The next week flew by in a blur, and before I knew it, it was the day of the custody hearing. I sat beside Elbert nervously outside the courtroom, fiddling with my stack of papers as the minutes ticked by. I was dressed professionally with all my documents sorted accordingly,
