"Isn't this too soon?" Caroline asked reluctantly. She was reluctant to refuse but also felt that this was not the right time. Her mother had just been buried two weeks ago; now Jared was asking her for a wedding dress fitting. She was just worried about how people would judge them. What would people say? Their hearts were already dead, having rejoiced after the death of Caroline's parents. At least wait for a few months so it wouldn't become a topic of conversation.

"Are you going to change your decision to marry me? Are you not sure that I can make you happy, or do you doubt your own decision? Or maybe what Jake said was true—that you just wanted revenge, and now you feel that your game has gone too far and should be stopped?" Jared stared deeply. He was trying to extract the truth from Caroline's eyes.

Caroline shook her head. "Why do you always associate our problems with Jake? I think it's you who can't move on from my past. I never talked about him, but you always mention his na

    "What is this?" Lenzy couldn't believe the news she had just read. The news about Jared announcing his engagement to Caroline. Jared held a press conference and introduced to the world that Caroline was the only woman he had ever loved and that she would always be in his heart."Isn't Caroline his niece? How can he marry his own niece? It's against the law; it's inbreeding." Lenzy was visibly unhappy. After all, she had been humiliated before after news of their date broke. And Jared made a clarification that put her in a bad light, so people flocked to attack her name on the internet."Is it possible that Caroline lied to me so that I would stop bothering her? No wonder Mr. Madison is always defending her. They're lovers, not uncle and niece. How dare Caroline play me! Who does she think I am?" Lenzy looked very upset when she realized that she had been tricked. She did not think that she would be treated like that.Lenzy squeezed her phone roughly. Her eyes glared fiercely, and her

    "Come on, honey, I'm ready." Emily said excitedly. After Jake had repeatedly canceled their date, they were finally going out tonight. It had been a long time since they had a romantic dinner out, as Jake was too busy taking care of Caroline and Jared's problems. Emily hugged Jake's arm tightly, looking at him with excitement because she couldn't wait to leave. "Sorry, Emily..." Jake looked hard to tell if their romantic date tonight was canceled again. Seeing the expression on Jake's face, as well as the sorry words he said, Emily knew that again she had to swallow disappointment. She didn't know what Jake's priorities were now. Because the man always breaks his promises. Emily immediately released her hug on Jake's arm; she put on a sullen face and hurried back to the room. There was a very rough slamming of the bedroom door. A sign that Emily was really angry. Jake sighed harshly; he understood and understood the attitude that Emily showed. Because he realized that lately h

    "Oh, so her background is like this? It turns out that her life is bleaker than I imagined." Lenzy commented after she got the report from the man she paid. She received every detail, from the small to the big. So, she had now bagged Caroline's weaknesses. She knew all the ins and outs of the woman. If she wanted revenge, she already knew how. "Lure her out by telling her that you know where her sister is. Then, bring her to me." Lenzy gave the order. She couldn't wait to cuss and beat Caroline. This was because Caroline had destroyed her pride in front of Jared. If Caroline hadn't said that Jared liked her, she wouldn't have been so confident and ended up feeling this embarrassed. "Yes, ma'am." "Don't let anyone know." Lenzy emphasized that she did not want to deal with Jared. Jared would not stay silent if he knew that Caroline was in danger. *** The ringing of her cell phone made Caroline look up from the television screen she was watching. Since living with Jared, she ha

    Caroline woke up from her stupor after she was doused with a glass of water. Her eyes were squinting from the glare of the light. She was still semi-conscious and trying to digest what was happening. "You're finally awake. I've been waiting for you here for three hours." Lenzy commented harshly. Her tone sounded very unfriendly. Caroline turned to the source of the voice. Her brow furrowed when it was Lenzy, not Aalya. "Why are you here?" Caroline asked in confusion. Lenzy smiled sarcastically. She folded her arms across her chest, then walked around Caroline. Her gaze was so condescending because she already knew what kind of family Caroline came from. All this time she thought Caroline came from the rich and prominent Corner family. In fact, Caroline was far beneath her. "You dare to deceive me; that means you're looking for trouble with me." Lenzy struck Caroline hard on the forehead. Caroline wanted to retaliate, but she realized that her body was tied to the chair she

    Jared came home a little late. He only arrived home when it was nine o'clock in the evening. He had been unsettled throughout the day's work, and even more so from the afternoon until the evening. He felt very restless, his mind always on Caroline. He felt anxious all the time. Plus, Caroline wasn't taking his calls after he dialed repeatedly. The first thing Jared did when he got home was look for the woman he loved so much. As tired as he was when he got home, all that tiredness would soon disappear when he saw Caroline. The energy that had been depleted was replenished when he got a smile from Caroline. "Where's Caroline?" Jared asked after he took off his suit and tie that had been straining his neck all day. "Sir, Mrs. Caroline isn't home yet." One of the waiters informed. "Where did she go?" Jared was a little disappointed that Caroline didn't welcome him home from work this time. "She told you to look for her if she wasn't home by seven, sir." "It's already nine o'c

    "Good, I found you." Jared said in a vengeful tone. He copied the number on Caroline's phone, then dialed it using his own. Unfortunately, the number was not active. Just like the last time Caroline tried to call the number. "Damn! Looks like this was planned!" Jared looked so annoyed. He growled, sighing harshly repeatedly to reduce his irritation. "You find out who this number belongs to." Jared ordered Thalius. "Yes, sir." Thalius immediately rushed to carry out the orders he was given. Along the way, Jared couldn't calm down at all. His mind was wandering all over the place. Who wouldn't be worried when they knew that a loved one was in danger? It was certain that Caroline wasn't doing well right now. Thinking about it, Jared was getting more and more upset. He clenched his fists violently and vowed to make a reckoning with whoever had been involved. After waiting for some time, Thalius got some information. "It looks like this is a new number that was deliberately use

    "Sir, the address has been found!" Thalius announced excitedly. "We're going there now!" Jared said with emphasis. He didn't want to feel regret like Donny said. Donny had previously warned him to protect Caroline and Bonnie, but he refused to do so on the grounds that Caroline didn't need him. In the end, he regretted that Bonnie finally died at the hands of Max's men. He was grateful that Caroline was lucky to survive that night. She didn't know how much she would regret if Caroline had been shot. Donny was right; he no longer wanted to feel the regret of his negligence in taking care of his loved ones. Jared was nervous all the way. He felt very anxious. The only thing he wanted now was for Caroline to be okay. "Find out who posted the video and the people involved. I don't want to see their faces. Once you find out their identities, take them out immediately." Jared said angrily. "Yes, sir. I will investigate everything." Thalius replied swiftly. The car drove at high

    Jared looked at Caroline, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed. He looked at her intently. The face was bruised and swollen. He couldn't imagine what kind of abuse Caroline had received. There were many wires connected to Caroline's body. Her body temperature had improved somewhat due to the help from the doctor, coupled with the warmth of the blanket covering her entire body. Caroline had experienced hypothermia because she was outside in such cold temperatures while she was not wearing any clothes. Luckily, Jared immediately took her to the hospital. Doctors also identified a large dose of drugs in Caroline's blood. Caroline was in a coma not only because of the violence but also because of an overdose. Knowing that fact, Jared was even more furious. No wonder Caroline didn't put up a fight when the bastards touched her, because Caroline had been unconscious from the start. "How long will it take for the owner of the sperm to be identified?" Jared asked the doctor who was

    "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.

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.

    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!"

    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 promise I will try hard to be a better sister. I won't let jealousy get the better of me anymore. I will support you, no matter what."Days passed, and Aalya began to show a marked change in attitude. She spent more time with Caroline, helping her sister in the recovery process.

    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
