"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
The days crawled by so fast. A lot had happened to Caraline during this time. Almost every news channel on television and the internet was talking about her wedding preparations with Diego. Several times, the two of them were featured as guests on a television program that wanted to dissect the preparations for their special day. The wedding preparation were almost perfect two days before the event began. The venue and all the facilities had already been decided, and it was all organized by Diego. Caraline was never involved or rather didn't want to be. Caraline and Diego are at a luxury boutique to pick out their wedding attire. Both of them could not escape the onslaught of camera lights. There was a brief interview in front of the boutique until Caraline and Diego finally left the location. Caraline's life was turned upside down by fate and reality. For most of the day, she would be around Diego, pretending to be happy in front of the media and the public. However, after returni
"What are you doing in this place, Catherine?" asked Caraline in an angry tone. She tugged her cousin's hand quite hard.Catherine clucked, patting her hand as if she had just gotten dirt on it. "You're completely uneducated and have no manners. Is that your welcome to your cousin?""Never mind, Catherine." Caraline rolled her eyes. "I don't want to argue with you, especially not in front of my family tomb. You should leave this place immediately.""You have no right to kick me out, Caraline." Catherine snorted in annoyance. "I just accidentally visited this place.""Visiting?" Caraline raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean, Catherine?"Catherine ruffled her hair, rolling her eyes. "Am I wrong to be in this place just to see the grave of someone related to me?""Of course you're wrong," Caraline said firmly, "as long as my parents and my sister are alive, you've never done them any good. You've only come to insult and brag about yourself. Do you want to do the same after they're gone?
