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. I’ll link them right here!’ My eyes widened and I quickly went to the few social media accounts I had. My inboxes were swamped with spam messages, many of them telling me what a horrible person I was and that I should just kill myself. It was self-harm to keep reading all
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’s POV:I maneuvered my head to try looking between cars to see if I could catch a glimpse of that motorcycle again, but I had no such luck. My odd behavior caught the attention of William, who gave me a strange look.“What’s wrong?” he asked while focusing on the road.I ignored him for a m
Caroline’s POV:I knew right then that the appearance of the helmet behind my closest friends was no coincidence. A sense of danger welled up in my chest and I felt an urgent need to find answers. My first instinct was to take a screenshot and search online for information about the helmet. After s
Caroline’s POV:I took my phone back from his hand and gestured for him to calm down. He was stiff and on edge, his eyes full of expectation.“I saw it on the road,” I explained vaguely. I didn’t want to reveal all the details in front of these strangers just yet. Right then I could only trust Matth
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
