"See you tomorrow morning; I'll pick you up as usual. No refusals." Jared said, with emphasis, to Caroline. He didn't want to miss out like that time. Caroline left for work early in the morning just to avoid seeing him.Caroline gave a small nod, about to get out of the car."Carol." Jared held her back. "I hope you didn't take offense to what Jake said to you earlier." The man said it carefully. He was afraid his words would hurt Caroline."Don't you think about it; I don't care." Caroline said it indifferently. Although she said that she didn't care, Jake's words had really pierced her heart."Good, I was just worrying too much." Jared smiled at her.Caroline no longer answered; she opened the door and wanted to leave quickly. However, Jared stopped her again."Here's your pay for today." Jared handed over two thousand dollars."Thank you." Caroline smiled and said it, then hurried downstairs before Jared could stop her again.***"Uncle, have you been waiting here since morning?"

"Caroline, I'm having a birthday party at my house tonight. Would you like to come?" Lenzy walked over when she found Caroline eating lunch alone in the office cafeteria."I can't promise." Caroline replied as she continued chewing. She did not even turn her head at all, as she felt Lenzy was not that important."I really wish you could come." Lenzy made a pitiable face."I can't decide right now. I have a lot of work." Caroline tried to find an excuse. She didn't want the hassle of attending Lenzy's birthday party. Moreover, if she had to bring a gift, it would be a source of expense. Meanwhile, she had to save money to pay off her father's accumulated debts."I beg you. I already told my parents that you're coming." Lenzy continued to plead."You shouldn't make a decision before asking.""I will pay you." Lenzy knew Caroline's weakness was money.Caroline stopped chewing. She turned her head, looking at Lenzy with a determined look. "Five thousand dollars.""Five thousand dollars? D

Caroline sighed harshly. She looked left and right at the side of the road, hoping Jared's car would come. She was very nervous now, feeling anxious because it was almost nine o'clock at night. She was worried that Jared would forget their appointment because he wasn't usually this late.The cell phone in her hand rang, and Lenzy's name was on the screen as the caller. She could already guess why Lenzy was calling her. She had resigned herself to being scolded, and Lenzy was asking for her money back."Where are you guys right now? The party is about to start." Lenzy's voice sounded panicked.Caroline was silent as she bit the tips of her fingernails. She didn't know what to answer. She thought she could get Jared to attend the party, just like Lenzy had trusted her. But reality was far from it. She was also annoyed that Jared had gotten her hopes up. If he couldn't, Jared should have been honest."Sorry, Lenzy. I don't think I can come to your party." Caroline said it hesitantly."Wh

The car stopped when they arrived at their destination. There were many luxury cars parked there, a sign that Lenzy's friends were mostly rich people.Caroline got off first. She didn't bring any gifts, as she was sure that Jared would bring lavish gifts. So, she didn't need to spend any money. She could put her name on the gift Jared gave her."You bring it." Jared handed him a tote bag containing a watch case worth 300,000 dollars. That's a lot of money."How much is this gift worth?" Caroline wanted to know about Jared's spending frenzy."Just change, not expensive stuff." Jared replied casually.Caroline no longer asked, but she couldn't believe the answer she received. How could Jared give her something cheap? It had to be something expensive. She was sure of it."How much is the prize?" Caroline whispered to Donny. Because she knew Donny always told the truth."Three hundred thousand dollars." Donny answered as it was.Caroline smiled widely at the amount Donny mentioned. She ha

"Next time, don't ask me to do something silly like that." Jared said this after he approached Caroline after dancing with Lenzy.There was still annoyance on that handsome face. In his entire life, this was the first time he danced with a woman. He wanted to dance with the woman he loved for the first time, but somehow he complied when Caroline asked him to dance with Lenzy.Caroline didn't respond; she just smiled to cover her guilt. How could she sell Jared to Lenzy for only five thousand dollars? She still couldn't believe that she would do such a ridiculous thing."I have to go home now. I still have things to do." Jared said softly. His tone was no longer as upset as before.Caroline nodded. Waving goodbye."I invite you to come home." Jared grabbed Caroline's wrist, forcing her to follow him out of the room."I haven't said goodbye to Lenzy yet." Caroline made an excuse. She was actually more concerned about the meal she hadn't touched. She had deliberately not eaten before lea

"Mum?" Caroline frowned as the mobile phone she was holding rang. It said her mom's name was calling. Bonnie rarely called when Caroline was out. If it wasn't important, her mobile phone never rang with an incoming call from her mother."What's wrong, Mum?" Caroline asked immediately, knowing something had happened."Hurry home; there's a stranger messing around in the house." Bonnie said it under her breath."Who?""I don't know. They mentioned Aalya and asked for money.""Aalya? Is that woman not satisfied after Papa's death? What exactly does she want?" Caroline looked so upset. It was because she only had one sibling, and her sibling always created trouble whenever she appeared."I don't know; just hurry up and come here. They don't want to leave before getting the money.""I'll be there soon; you don't have to be afraid." Caroline tried to calm down. She disconnected the call with a face filled with panic, annoyance, and anger."Uncle, I'm getting off here. I have to go home soon

"I think Jared really likes you." Bonnie said this as she was having breakfast with Caroline this morning. The middle-aged woman's face looked serious. She had never interfered with her daughter's choices. However, this time she wanted to take part so that Caroline would no longer make the wrong choice of man. She did not want Caroline to get humiliated again like Jake had done."He's just playing around; there's no way Uncle Jared likes me. He can appoint any woman if he wants. Why should he choose me, who is a nobody and can't do anything? I think he will only use me because now there are rumors that he is dating Lenzy. She might want to use me as a tool to dispel those rumors, and then I'll get dumped again once the rumors stop circulating." Caroline explained at length. She was more cautious now, as she did not want to fall back into the same hole. Moreover, Jared's blood flowed into Jake's blood.Bonnie was silent for a moment. Her brow seemed to crease as she thought heavily. "J

Caroline sighed repeatedly to neutralize her feelings. Since morning, Jake has repeatedly looked at her with an unusual look. She felt a little uncomfortable because of that. It was excruciating to have to work for the man who had been the most special person in her life. There was no punishment that made her suffer more than working in the same room as her ex-boyfriend.Jake seemed to have a lot on his mind. Repeatedly, he sighed heavily, then let it out slowly. He rose to his feet, about to walk over to Caroline's desk, but decided against it. Jake sat back in his chair and then rose to his feet a few minutes later. The man looked very agitated. What he was thinking, Caroline didn't know."Can't you just sit and work quietly? I feel very distracted." Caroline finally snapped, having had enough of Jake's attitude.Jake gave her a serious look. He rose to his feet, then moved over to Caroline. He looked at her intently, trying to find information."I have something to ask you, but ple

"Yes! We'll leave as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to spending time with you on the beach and enjoying all the beauty of Bali," Caroline said, feeling equally happy."Me too! Ever since we got here, I've missed you so much. It feels like something is missing without you," Aalya replied, her tone full of emotion."And we can mend our broken relationship," Caroline continued, recalling all the tensions they had experienced. "I want us to turn over a new leaf.""That's right! We'll talk about everything and fix what can be fixed. I'm so excited!" Aalya replied, her voice full of excitement. "When do we leave?""We leave tomorrow morning! Jared has organized everything. We'll fly out early in the morning and be in Bali by noon," Caroline explained, feeling a little less anxious."Wow, that's fast! I'll prepare everything that needs to be brought. What should I prepare?" asked Aalya, eager to welcome her sister."Bring all the beach clothes you have! We'll have fun in the se

After arriving at the car, Jared started the engine and drove the car towards home. On the way, he envisioned the evening he had planned. Caroline must have prepared something special. When he arrived home, Jared opened the door and was greeted with silence. "Caroline?" he shouted, hoping to find his wife in the living room. "Over here, baby!" came Caroline's voice from the kitchen. Jared rushed towards the voice, and when he entered, he saw Caroline standing in the kitchen, wearing an apron, while stirring something in a pot. She smiled when she saw her husband. "You're finally home! I've been waiting," Caroline said, stepping closer. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Caro. It's been a busy day," Jared said, leaning his back against the table. Caroline looked at him understandingly, but there was a hint of longing in her eyes. "I know, but I missed you so much. Dinner is ready; let's eat," she said, trying to cover her sadness with a smile. They sat down at the dining table, and wh

Jared sighed, sensing the sadness in Caroline's heart. He understood how important the relationship between the sisters was. "I know, Carol. But we'll see each other again soon. They're only gone for a week," he said, trying to comfort."And you know how it is. Everyone around me is having fun while I'm here," Caroline said in a tone full of unfulfilled expectations."Don't worry, I have a plan," Jared said, trying to distract Caroline. "I'm taking you to a fancy restaurant tonight. We can enjoy some uninterrupted alone time.""A fancy restaurant?" Caroline looked over, a little surprised. "You had it planned?""Yes. It's time for us to indulge ourselves. Don't think about Aalya now; let yourself have fun," Jared replied with a confident smile."Okay." Caroline nodded slowly, though her heart was still heavy. She knew Jared was trying to make her happy, and she appreciated every effort he made.After a few minutes of driving, their car finally arrived in front of a fancy restaurant wi

Aalya was annoyed and dismayed by Brian's nosy attitude. "Do you want me to walk naked on the beach? I don't want to be a crowd pleaser!" she replied, frowning.Brian stifled a laugh, further amused by Aalya's reaction. "Ah, but only I can look at you! Only I can look at you that way," he said as he stepped closer.Aalya felt her cheeks heat up at Brian's words. "Stop making this up! This isn't about that!" she exclaimed, trying to push Brian's body out of the way."Well, I just want to see you glowing on the beach," Brian said, still hugging Aalya. "Imagine how beautiful you'll look in these clothes in the sun!"Aalya tried to push Brian further, but she couldn't help but laugh. "You're so naughty, Brian! This is no time for jokes," she said, shaking her head, but couldn't avoid the smile on her face."So, why not be a little more daring? We're in Bali, baby!" Brian replied in a teasing tone, continuing to put his arm around her."Well, maybe I can add a more revealing shirt or two,"

Jared looked at Caroline and Aalya with pride. "I'm glad to see you two getting along. This is what I expected from the beginning," he said. "And if we all go to Bali, we'll make wonderful new memories."Caroline nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's time we focus on happiness and the future. No more jealousy or hatred. We are a family now, and we need to support each other."Brian, who had started to feel more comfortable in this family, added, "And I promise to take good care of Aalya while we are in Bali. We'll travel around, explore the island, and make beautiful memories."Aalya looked at Brian with sparkling eyes. "I am so lucky to have you by my side. This is a new beginning for all of us.""Let's make this moment special. We can explore the beach, try the local food, and maybe bike around the island," Caroline said, her spirits rising."And don't forget the surf! We have to learn to surf!" Aalya adds, eager to imagine the adventures they will have.They all laughed together, sharing

It was a sunny day in Perth. Inside the Madison family mansion, Caroline was preparing dinner in the kitchen. She sang her favorite song while stirring the pasta, a smile never leaving her face. Aalya, who was now closer to Caroline, helped by chopping vegetables."Ouch, Aalya, don't cut them too big! It'll be hard to eat," Caroline said with a laugh."I know, I know! Is it small enough?" replied Aalya in a joking tone, showing the cut vegetables that didn't quite meet Caroline's criteria."Yes, yes, good. I just remembered we have to prepare dessert. Do you want to make brownies or chocolate cake?" Caroline asked, getting excited."Brownies! I love brownies! Let's make them!" Aalya replied cheerfully. Their voices filled the kitchen, creating a warm atmosphere in the house.Meanwhile, in the living room, Jared was talking to Brian. Jared looked very serious, while Brian looked a little worried."Brian, I've been thinking about our relationship. Ever since you came back to Aalya, thin

"I can't believe Brian finally did it," Caroline murmured with a smile. Memories of when Brian and Aalya first met flashed through her mind. Although Aalya didn't believe in their relationship at first, Brian patiently proved how sincere and loyal he was. Caroline felt proud to see her brother finally find his true love.Caroline turned on her cell phone and decided to call Aalya. She knew how happy her sister was when she accepted Brian's proposal. After a few ringtones, Aalya answered in a cheerful voice."Caroline! How are you?" Aalya sounded very excited, her voice full of joy that flowed into every word."I'm fine, sis. I just heard from Brian, and I'm so happy for you!" Caroline couldn't hide the smile on her face.Aalya chuckled. "Oh, thank you! This is a very special moment for me. Brian really moved me. He proposed to me in the park where we used to spend time together.""Wow, that's so romantic! I know Brian must have planned it well. You deserve that happiness, sis," Caroli

Caroline's eyes lit up. She knew that Aalya's statement was not just empty words. She saw the commitment on Aalya's face, and it made her feel optimistic. "I want us to be able to repair our relationship, Aalya. We can start from here. We can support and help each other."Aalya smiled, feeling new hope in their relationship. "Thank you, Caroline.

She went to support groups, trying to work through the emotional issues that had plagued her life. She learned to love herself and let go of

After a dark period that almost took Caroline's life, she is now lying in a comfortable hospital bed, surrounded by modern medical equipment and the pungent smell of antiseptics. However, within the room, there is one thing that gives her peace of mind: the presence of Jared beside her.Jared sat in a chair next to the bed, his eyes never leaving Caroline's face. He looked tired, but his passion for caring for his wife kept him strong. Every day, Jared arrived early, bringing fresh flowers and a warm smile, despite the weight on his shoulders."How are you feeling today, dear?" asked Jared gently, stroking Caroline's bandaged hand.Caroline smiled faintly, trying to hold back the pain that was still in her chest. "I feel better, but I'm still tired," she replied, her voice soft. "You're always here, Jared. Thank you."Jared nodded, his eyes full of love. "I'm not going anywhere. You are everything to me, Caroline. I will always be here for you," he said firmly. The pain Caroline was e
