"What did you just say, damn it?" screamed Caraline with her hands already clenched into fists. "How could you do this to everyone who doesn't even have anything against you?"Diego laughed. "I don't care about other people. As long as I get what I want, that's enough for me. I could easily ruin someone's life or even kill them if I wanted to. You know, I even killed my father when I was a teenager. My asshole father always beat me up when I made the slightest mistake. I killed him by crashing the car I was driving with my father into a ravine. I survived and he burned to death in the car."Caraline closed her eyes for a moment, trying to suppress her anger. "The rumors that you were behind some of these crimes are true."Diego laughed. "Yes, I was behind all of them. But I got away with it because I could shut up witnesses and even police officers with my money. And I can do the same with this case if you refuse my offer.""You think I'm going to put up with this?""You've got to be

"Are you crazy?" screeched Caraline.Diego chuckled, pushing Caraline's body back to make it easier for him to sit on the couch. "Who do you think is crazier, me or you, Caraline? You married a fucking cripple and chose to ignore me instead.""You're the crazy one, damn man!" screamed Caraline, "You're the crazy one! You'd do anything dirty just so you could get what you want!"Diego laughed again. "You have yourself to blame, Caraline. If you had chosen me in the first place, this would never have happened to you. You would have gotten the sweetest treatment from me, and you would have been the luckiest woman to have conquered me.""You are a monster!" Caraline stomped on the floor.Diego got up from the couch, dialing someone. "Do it now.""What are you doing?" asked Caraline with piercing eyes."You're in for another surprise from me, you lowly woman." Diego walked to the window, and opened the glass, letting the breeze rush into the room. When he looked at the row of articles on h

On the way home, Caraline was mostly silent with her gaze fixed on the side of the road. Now and then she checked her cell phone, which was full of news about her relationship with Diego. Her hatred for the disgusting man grew even more when she saw Diego's sickening smile.Caraline quickly wiped away the tears, trying to keep her composure. She suddenly remembered Deric saying that he didn't like Diego. At first, Caraline thought it was just Deric's jealousy. However, in reality, it was a warning.Caraline closed her eyes, wiping the tears from her face. At the funeral, she cried her heart out without fear of anyone seeing. She didn't expect this to happen to her.Caraline put her cell phone in her bag. Her gaze fell on the bottle Deric had given her. She scrutinized it before finally gulping down the contents. The sweetness of the drink suddenly disappeared and was replaced with bitterness."Are you okay?" asked Anthony.Caraline nodded, putting the bottle back into the bag. The wom

Caraline arrived at the venue half an hour later. Her arrival was immediately greeted by a barrage of questions and camera flashes from journalists. She only smiled slightly when she saw the media enthusiastically approaching her. Her bodyguards deftly blocked the road. However, until she entered the building, she said nothing. Caraline took a deep breath, took off her glasses, and put them in her bag. Her hand accidentally caught sight of Deric's empty water bottle. She thought about throwing it away but decided against it when she realized that she still needed him around. It didn't matter if it was replaced with a water bottle. "Follow me," one of the female employees said. Caraline nodded, entering the elevator. A few minutes later, she again followed the female employee until she stopped in front of a door. "Mr. Diego is in the room." The female employee chose to excuse herself. "Ms. Caraline, is it going to be okay?" asked Anthony with a worried look on his face. "I... will

"Talking about the wedding, have you got everything ready, Diego?" asked Caraline as she approached. "I want ours to be the most extravagant wedding this country has ever seen, even for the son of its president. And I want Henry Hulbert to be there, too. Can you do that?" "You're disgusting." Diego pushed Caraline away, giving her a condescending look. That rotten woman is acting very convincingly, he thought. "I learned from the experts." Caraline laughed. Diego pulled his cell phone from his pants pocket, took a call from someone, and closed it again. "The show is about to start. Be good or I'll get rid of that damn handicapped man." "Looks like I have a lot to learn from you, Diego," Caraline said with a dismissive look, "you've been acting perfectly all this time." "Stop babbling!" Diego pulled Caraline closer to him. "After this show is over, you're going to see that damn deformed man for the last time in your life." Caraline rolled her eyes, turning to the other side. Her h

Caraline immediately averted her eyes in any direction when Deric looked at her. Her heart felt like it was being sliced by a knife when she saw the man's condition. Deric's condition was really bad. He was in pain just by glancing at him. Diego and Wilson were truly horrible monsters. Both of them had the heart to do all this to Deric, who was a disabled man."Are you okay?" repeated Deric while trying to change his position to sitting. His gaze sharpened when he saw Diego behind Caraline. "Is something bothering you?"Caraline remained silent for some time. She looked up, trying not to let the tears fall again. It was a painful feeling to see someone she loved suffer. There was a part of her heart that was cracking and breaking right now.Diego, seeing Caraline's frozen state, quickly grabbed the woman's hand and whispered in an angry tone, "Get this done quickly or I'm going to beat the crap out of that flawed man right in front of your eyes."Caraline withdrew her hand somewhat fo

"You lowly woman!" Diego ruthlessly pushed Caraline into the car. The man shut the vehicle door firmly. "Your brain is really out of whack. How could you possibly be this broken just because of a handicapped man?"Caraline quickly wiped away the tears, looking at Diego with a faint smile. "My life was ruined after I decided to marry a monster like you, Diego.""You!" Diego was about to slap Caraline, but he quickly retracted his hand. "You're disgusting.""Yeah, aren't we both disgusting?" said Caraline with her gaze fixed forward, "I guess I'll have to learn to get used to being around you from now on."Diego chuckled, giving her a condescending look. "You'd better learn to face the fact that you're just a useless piece of trash in front of me. I'm going to make your life far more horrible than a demon's life in hell.""You seem to be good friends with a demon so you know how life is in hell." Caraline chuckled. "Are you perhaps one of them?""Shut up, you lowly woman!" Diego snorted

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.
