Caraline blinked a few times before her body rose from her sleeping position. The woman then slowly massaged her head while shifting her sitting position to the edge of the mattress. When her vision returned to normal, her eyes suddenly widened when she saw the dark condition of the room.Shaking off the feeling of panic, Caraline immediately reached for the cell phone that was on the bedside table, even though she had to grope for a few things first. It was already eleven o'clock when the cell phone screen lit up."How long have I been asleep?" Caraline squinted as the cell phone light shone on her face which was still covered in confusion.Caraline immediately turned on the electricity with her cell phone. The room was bathed in the light again. The woman lay back on the bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling. It was so quiet he could hear her breathing.Caraline sank into thought. Flashes of memory alternately appear in the mind. As she recalls, after leaving the wedding location

As soon as the 'ting' sound was heard, Caraline quickly stepped out of the elevator. She rushed to the rooftop, then stopped in front of the door."I'm going to eliminate you!" said Caraline as she pressed the password.When the door opened, Caraline didn't immediately enter the room. She first stabilized her breathing while thinking about what stupid thing she had just done. Caraline stomped the floor vigorously as she entered the room. It was dark enough to require caution. The only sources of light were the moonlight and the stars in the sky, which were visible through the transparent dome.Caraline pressed her cell phone, which was connected to the rooftop garden system. Shortly after, the room was brightly lit again. She quickly scanned the surroundings while letting her steps sweep across the green grass.In the middle of her search, Caraline accidentally stepped on something. Taking a step back, she found a black shoe lying on the grass. She also found a similar object not far

Caraline slapped her cheeks a few times once she was in the elevator. Her face was as red as a boiled crab. She screamed as she pulled her hair repeatedly in embarrassment and annoyance at what had just happened. Just imagine, a CEO of a cosmetics and fashion company looking like this, especially in front of a stranger she just met two days ago.Caraline was in a hurry when the elevator doors opened. As soon as she exited the lobby, she greedily gulped in oxygen. She then clung to herself as the cold air chilled her to the bone."You should be fine," said Deric who had just come out of the lobby.Caraline closed her eyes for a moment as the head of her hand hardened. She had no intention of turning to Deric. "How dare you follow me.""I'm pretty sure that you just asked me to follow you a few minutes ago," Deric replied."Shut up and don't talk to me anymore!" Caraline walked towards the car parked in front. Once her body was seated in the driving seat, she spoke again, "I won't help

Caraline felt so electrified that her body shook violently when she heard Deric's words. Her heart was about to explode as her eyes bulged. "Don't joke around! That sounds completely absurd.""The world is full of nonsense," Deric said with a chuckle as he remembered Caraline saying the same thing.Caraline turned her head with a look of annoyance, then chuckled. The man beside her had just returned her words at that moment. How annoying."Look deeper into yourself!" Caraline spoke with a condescending look. "You're even confined to a wheelchair. So, how could I possibly believe your words? I'm sorry I don't believe in miracles.""I'm not asking you to believe me at all," Deric replied with a calm expression."Then why are you promising something if you're not asking me to believe it?" Caraline stomped down the street, biting her lower lip to keep from screaming in the early morning.Deric said, "I just want you to feel that I'm taking care of you."Although the air in Heaventown was

Deric blinked as the sunlight teased his consciousness. The man massaged his head slowly, changing his position to sitting. Once his vision normalized, he cast his eyes around the room. This place seemed unfamiliar to him.Deric exited the room with his wheelchair. The first sight that greeted him was a small lake and a large courtyard with neatly arranged trees. As soon as he turned his head to the side, a magnificent building stood proudly. Deric pushed the wheelchair forward. His gaze was still faithfully scanning the surroundings as his body moved around the courtyard. Whether it was a delusion or he was still trapped in dreamland, he felt like he was in a royal garden, and beautiful was the word that could represent the situation he saw at the moment.Satisfied with walking around the yard, Deric moved to the edge of the lake. Two swans were swimming around the area. Not far from them, there were two canoes parked. The sunlight trapped at the mouth of the lake creates crystals o

It was a frustrating day for Caraline. As the car pulled up to the office gates, she saw media members crowding the lobby. The woman entered under heavy guard. She let out a long breath as she exited the elevator. On her way to her office, she was surprised by Helen standing at the door with a worried look on her face."Are you all right, Miss Caraline?" asked Helen as she followed Caraline into the room. "I was so worried because you didn't reply to my messages or pick up my calls.""I hope I'm okay now," Caraline replied as she plopped down on a chair. When she looked at the clock, it was already ten am. "What's on my agenda now, Helen?"Helen squeezed her skirt, turning to Caraline nervously. "Miss Caraline, there's someone who's been waiting for you since earlier."Caraline, who had just opened her laptop, immediately turned her head. "Where is he now?""I'm here." Unexpectedly, Diego appeared from the doorway, flashing a smile as Caraline stared at him with a dumbfounded expressi

The music and the night view of Heaventown made dinner feel special. For a few moments, Caraline and Diego were lost in their meal. When their eyes accidentally met, both of them were busy putting smiles on each other's faces. "Tonight is really special for me," Diego said, signaling the beautiful woman in front of him for a toast."Is it because it's beautiful tonight?" asked Caraline as she clinked Diego's glass.Both of them took a sip of their respective drinks with their eyes on each other."Of course, because I get to spend time alone with women ...." Diego paused his speech."Woman?" Caraline placed the glass back on the table. Her eyebrows knitted together."A strong woman like you," Diego replied.Caraline laughed softly as she adjusted her hair. "I can't even pull two suitcases at once."Diego shared the same laugh. His rows of white teeth were visible even though the man had covered his mouth with his right hand. "Of course, it's tough in other ways. I have a secret.""Sec

Caraline was shocked when she realized that the clothes on Deric's body were the ones he had been wearing since yesterday. The woman even blinked several times in disbelief at what had just happened. "What on earth did you have in mind? Are you human!""This house is so big that I had a hard time finding some clothes, especially with my poor condition," Deric said honestly, "Besides, the leaves in this area are not suitable for clothing."Caraline chuckled. This paralyzed man was being sarcastic. "Then why are you—""That's why I want to go back home to get some clothes and get my wallet and cell phone," Deric interrupted.Caraline laughed. "I'm pretty sure the numbers in your bank account would make my jaw drop. You’re a rich man.""You're being too complimentary. My work as a freelancer is certainly not as prestigious as that of a CEO," Deric retorted."Of course." Caraline was bemused."But at least with the money I earned, I was able to buy a few pieces of clothes and some delicio

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
