"I guess being honest doesn't always hurt," Deric said."What do you mean?" Caraline scrunched up her waist. Deric seemed to be insinuating."Forget it."Caraline clucked and started to open the door. She walked into the house first. Deric followed close behind."We can watch in this room." Caraline led Deric to the family room. There was a large TV and an array of movie-watching equipment. She rarely spent time here. She would go straight to her room when she came home. After all, what family would she bring to this place?"This is a nice place," Deric said as he surveyed the surroundings."I-I'll go change first." Caraline left the room, glancing at Deric to see if he had turned to her or not. She had to be disappointed as the man's attention was still on the viewing room.Caraline entered the room with an exasperated face. The woman sneered at Deric as she changed her clothes. Her body was wrapped in dark red sleeping pajamas. She deliberately wore clothes that were a bit revealing

Caraline held her breath for a moment, quickly closing her eyes because she didn't want to see the show on TV. It was annoying, why did her time with Deric have to be spent watching horror movies?"Oh my." Caraline hurriedly released her grip on Deric's waist, then scooted to the end of the chair. She was so scared and surprised that she accidentally hugged Deric. It was embarrassing, but she liked it."Why do we have to watch a shitty movie like this?" Caraline covered her face with a pillow. She peeked at the TV for a moment, then turned to Deric."Are you afraid of horror movies?" asked Deric without looking at the TV screen, "I can change it if you want."Caraline snorted in annoyance. Deric seemed to be insinuating. "I-I'm... not scared. It's just that I thought we could watch another movie."Deric turned his head with a chuckle. "You must be scared.""Stop it. You're making the atmosphere even creepier.""Let me guess, you must like comedy genre movies?" snapped Deric."Don't ta

To make her plan a success, the first thing Caraline did was move her bottles to the center of the table. After that, she pretended to drink her chocolate milk until it was the same as Deric's. The next step was to exchange the man's drink for hers. However, she had to put the bottles together first. That way, Deric wouldn't suspect that the drinks were switched.Caraline let out a long breath as her plan succeeded. A smile spread across her lips. In the dimly lit room, her face seemed to glow with happiness mixed with tension. "This way Deric and I will be kissing each other indirectly," she murmured."Did you enjoy the movie?" asked Deric as he turned his head."Of course," Caraline replied. She quickly grabbed a pillow, covering half of her face. However, when she looked at the screen, a scary-looking creature with blood flowing suddenly appeared. She was so frightened that she hugged Deric again.Caraline pretended to be closed during the hug. She deliberately hugged Deric quite s

Luck was on Caraline's side as Deric was back in his original position. She could get back into the action. Caraline couldn't afford to be so reckless that she lost focus. When she was about to hug the man, she had to make sure that Deric was in position.Caraline couldn't help but watch the movie again. Even though she had reached half of the story, she didn't understand the story at all. She was only focused on finding a moment to hug Deric, and that was even more difficult after what happened earlier. Time crawled quickly. The movie was boring. Eventually, Caraline began to feel sleepy. She yawned a few times, leaning her back against the back of the chair. Her eyes felt heavy until she finally fell asleep.Caraline's face landed on Deric's shoulder. Her arms reflexively embraced the man's body. The corners of her lips lifted perfectly. It felt so good that words could not describe it. This was the first time she had ever done something like this with a man.Caraline woke up a few

Caraline was stunned with her gaze fixed on Deric who was still swinging on the tree branch. The woman wanted to see Deric in his current state longer, but she didn't want to make Deris suspicious and think anything.Caraline quickly turned around. "Damn, I forgot to bring my phone.""Are you willing?" asked Deric."I-I... don't want to do a sport that makes me look as dirty as you," Caraline snapped."Well," said Deric, "your little hands definitely won't be able to lift your body weight even once.""What?" Caraline reflexively turned around. For the second time, she was treated to the sight of Deric's sweat-soaked upper body. It was so annoying, it was hard to keep her eyes off of it.Deric laughed, continuing his pull-ups. "Get ready, to go to the office.""You have no right to order me around!" Caraline folded her arms across her chest, keeping her eyes on the surface of the lake while occasionally watching Deric's movements. "Wait a minute," she muttered.Caraline tucked a lock o

"You almost fell over when you were trying to do pull-ups. Do you remember?"Caraline closed her eyes, massaging her forehead lightly."Can you get off my wheelchair? I can't hang from this tree forever."Caraline quickly got out of the wheelchair and walked towards the fence. Her gaze occasionally turned to Deric. "Why does it have to end this quickly?"Deric flung himself into the wheelchair. The landing was perfect. He tried to stabilize his breathing, which was labored from the exercise. "That was fun. We can do it again later."Caraline quickly straightened her back. Her lips couldn't contain the explosion of happiness. A smile appeared despite her best efforts to prevent it. Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid it would explode. For the past few days, she had been driven crazy by a man named Deric."Deric likes it. Does that mean he'll do it again with me?" Caraline patted her heated cheeks. "What should I do now? It looks like I'm going to have to tone down my gang

"Don't ever dare to peek," Caraline reminded Deric before the act. The woman let out a long breath, stroking her suddenly pounding chest. It's not that hard, Caraline. Isn't this what you always wanted? she thought to herself.Caraline started by drying Deric's face. She moved slowly with her gaze fixed on the man. She took this opportunity to gaze at all the sculpted features of the man with the blue bead. What a perfect masterpiece God had created. Eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, everything was flawless.Caraline let out another long breath as her hands move toward Deric’s neck. When her fingers accidentally touched the surface of Deric's skin directly, she reflexively moved the towel away from the man's body. However, it wasn't long before she was back in action."No peeking," Caraline pleaded as she adjusted her suddenly irregular breathing pattern."Fine," Deric replied."Don't talk back to me. I don't want to hear your voice at a time like this. You should consider yourself

"Henry Hulbert?" Caraline sat back on the couch and placed the remote on the table. Her focus was on the television screen. "Isn't he the Vice President of Universe Corporation? I'm surprised that he'd want to be on screen."Caraline turned up the volume on the television, leaning her back against the chair. "I can't miss this.""How are you, Mr. Henry?" the host asked with a bright smile.The tall, handsome man replied with a faint smile, "Fine.""You look even more stunning than what I've seen on the internet and in magazines," teased the woman host in brown, "my body hasn't stopped shaking until now."Henry Hulbert chuckled softly. The screen switched to the female audience. They applauded and chanted the man's name."Mr. Henry, thank you for your time on our show. Can you tell us what you've been up to lately?""I spend more time with work than on personal matters. But, to be honest, I like what I'm doing now. Right now, my team and I are busy with business expansion to the blue c

Jeremy, Jonathan, and James looked tense as they followed a bodyguard to the edge of the park. The crashing of the waves was a musical accompaniment to their racing hearts. The three men suddenly fell silent when they saw Deric with his back to them near the fence. Shortly afterward, the bodyguard chose to excuse himself. For a few seconds, there was only silence between the four men. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James exchanged glances with each other, confused as to what action they should take at this point. Should they say goodbye? Deric slowly turned around, smiling to greet his three half-brothers. He walked over, but Jeremy, Jonathan, and James did not move from their places or even turn their heads towards him. "I've been waiting for your arrival," Deric said. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James had not paid any attention to Deric's words. Their faces had not completely lifted either. "Didn't you miss me a lot, James?" asked Deric, "you even called me and sent me messages almost every da

All eyes were on Deric who had just recognized himself as the presiden of the number one company in the country. The atmosphere of the event was instantly silent, as were the people watching the news on television channels and the internet. Shortly afterward, the adoring admiration was met with thunderous applause."Oh my," said Helen, "isn't that Mr. Deric? How could this be possible? He can walk on both feet and right now he's in front of us."Helen turned to Caraline who was looking down with a smile on her face. When she realized something, Helen quickly controlled herself. She knew the reason behind Caraline's change over the past two weeks."Miss Caraline," Helen called with a bright smile. Despite the crack in her heart, she was happy to see Caraline now.Caraline was silent and didn't dare to raise her head at the moment. The praise and admiration directed at Deric made her even more terrified of losing him.On the other side, Diego and Wilson were watching the show on the scr

A week passed after Caraline met with Deric on the rooftop of the building. However, her happy smile never faded. Helen, Stevan, and the rest of the maids and guards couldn't understand her attitude. While Caraline had been saddened a few months ago, for the past week, she had been overwhelmed with happiness.Caraline visited an event organized by one of Universe Coporation's subsidiaries in a large park. Many famous officials and businessmen attended the event, including Henry Hulbert.Caraline couldn't sit still while watching Henry Hulbert perform on stage. Her eyes were often drawn to the surroundings. There was a good chance that Deric was also at this event, she thought.Caraline hadn't received any messages from Deric all week. She also deliberately did not contact him. If longing had been excruciating in the past, this longing had only intensified the love."Do you need something?" asked Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's chair."Nothing." Caraline shook her head, turni

Caraline and Deric looked at each other for some time, lost in their feelings. The lights around the rooftop seemed to change color as time passed."I'm just afraid that you'll lose consciousness like last time," Deric said suddenly."What do you mean?" asked Caraline with flushed cheeks."You know, you suddenly passed out when we were about to do... 'it' in your room." Deric laughed, gently stroking Caraline's hair."Passed out?" Caraline raised one eyebrow. "Didn't we ever do that?""Not at all," Deric said, "you seemed to be so nervous that you passed out, especially since you didn't stop smiling during your sleep."Caraline suddenly turned her back on Deric, closing her eyes with a very red face. She was embarrassed when she heard that. So, all this time she had only dreamed about doing 'that' with Deric. "Don't talk to me anymore. I hate you.""I know if your heart says otherwise." Deric stood beside Caraline."No, I'm serious." Caraline turned her gaze to the other side. "You ar

Caraline's whole body shook even more when she saw Deric standing in front of her. She dropped her cell phone because she couldn't contain her shock. For a few moments, she could only hold her breath with an unblinking gaze.Caraline felt shocked on top of the shock. She had wanted Deric to walk again, but when she saw it firsthand, Caraline was left stunned and unable to do anything. Her lips half opened, but quickly closed again.Didn't Deric look perfect with his current appearance?Caraline pinched her left arm hard. She felt a great pain there. It signaled that she was in the real world. However, Caraline still felt lost in dreamland. Deric, who she thought was a man who had lost his dreams, was the mysterious figure that people wanted to know about. Deric was none other than the richest man in the country.Doesn't Deric look perfect in his current position?Caraline looked back as her feet hit the rooftop barrier. She was at the edge of the room and there was no turning back. Fo

"Deric."Caraline could only remain silent with wide-rounded eyes for some time. Her mouth was half open with a look of disbelief. All the images of her time with Deric instantly faded away, making her body almost collapse on the floor. Tears were rolling down her cheeks relentlessly.Caraline knew that she missed Deric more than anything. However, when he was in front of her right now, she could only stand still without being able to get closer or even hug him tightly.Time seemed to stop for Caraline. All the scenery around her suddenly turned black and white, except for Deric alone. At the same time, the world became eerily silent.Could this all be a delusion?Could it be that he was in a dream?Could it be that God had answered all her prayers and hopes?Caraline still couldn't quite believe what was happening. For months she had searched for Deric's whereabouts with everything she had, but nothing good had come of it. However, at this moment, Deric came to him alone on this roof
