Imperfect Husband 235
In just one hour, Caraline will officially become Diego's wife. Right now, she was in the makeup room. Three makeup artists were handling her make-up and the outfit she would wear for the wedding.Caraline just stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror. The television screen was still broadcasting the preparations for the upcoming wedding. Grace and the three maids were also in the room preparing everything needed.Caraline looked down and cried as Grace told her that she had suddenly run to the edge of the lake while screaming Deric's name. What she had seen that afternoon was nothing more than a mirage. In reality, Deric had gone far away from her.Caraline admited that her makeup was perfect, as was the long white dress with floral ornaments she is wearing. Caraline stared at the earrings Deric had given her in a box, stroking them gently, remembering when he had given them to her.Caraline tried to mask the hurt and longing with a faint smile. "I want to wear these earrings,"

Caraline was taken aback when she read that last sentence. Her eyes rounded as her breath suddenly caught. The woman then let out a long breath along with a shake of her head.Caraline was silent for some time, scanning her surroundings. Her heart was suddenly beating rapidly. All the images of Deric now filled her head. She reread the chart from top to bottom to make sure that what she had read earlier was not wrong. However, she still got the same information."So... the one who helped me in the accident was Deric," Caraline muttered while holding her own heart. "And the person who hit Deric was Carla, not me."Caraline clenched her fists tightly. She tried to hold back the tears that were trying to break through her stubbornness. "Deric."Caraline looked up, leaning her back against the back of the chair. She suddenly thought of Carla's condition after school graduation. Her sister looked thin and locked herself in her room more often than not. Before her death, Carla had been sick

Caraline could not contain her sadness any longer. She burst into tears again, streaming down her cheeks. She hugged the diary tightly as if she was holding Carla. All the images of her life with her sister came flooding back. Sadness, regret, and longing took turns to overwhelm her emotions.Caraline fell off the sofa still hugging Carla's diary. Her body shook violently until the sound of crying finally surfaced. Grace and the three maids who heard it immediately entered the room with panicked faces."Oh my, Miss Caraline." Grace quickly embraced Caraline, trying to get her back onto the sofa. However, she found it difficult as Caraline's body fell back to the floor.The room was filled with crying for a while. Caraline didn't want this marriage to happen. Neither did she want to be the companion of a disgusting monster like Diego, all she wanted was Deric, the man she loved and her sister loved."What happened?" Diego appeared with a fierce face. He hit the door of the room hard. "

The whole room was in an uproar with the news. All eyes were immediately on Diego. Television and internet channels instantly highlighted the shock that had befallen Diego and Caraline. Some of the guests were whispering with probing looks."This must be a mistake, sir," Diego said, still forcing a smile, "I'm not involved in any crime. I can prove that I am innocent of all charges."Diego clenched his fists tightly. The man could not contain his shock. He had bribed the mouths of police officers and media owners to cover up his crimes. However, what happened was beyond his control. The only thing he could think of at the moment was that there was a big figure behind this event.Henry Hulbert suddenly stood up and walked out of the room. His action immediately caught the attention of the media and the people in the room."Mr. Henry Hulbert, I'm sure this was just a mistake," Diego said as he stepped down from the venue. "I could not have done such a shameful act."Henry Hulbert ignore

The smoke slowly dissipated as the large fans from the four corners of the room turned on. The room returned to its original state. Many of the guests were already unconscious on the floor, including Jeremy, Jonathan, and James. The same happened to some of the bodyguards, police, and media outside the room."Stay away from my cousin, Diego!" Catherine suddenly hit Diego on the back with a wooden stick. "You've crossed your limit.""Catherine, what are you doing?" asked Wilson. When he saw the white smoke coming out, he quickly put on a mask, gave one to Catherine, and also asked his cousin to hold her breath.Diego almost fell over if he didn't hold on to the chair. He pulled a small pistol from his sock and fired it at Catherine. "Die, damn woman!"Catherine immediately fell when her shoulder was shot. Blood quickly flowed and soaked her shirt. His gaze fell on Caraline for a moment and soon she was unconscious."Catherine!" screeched Wilson with bulging eyes. The man quickly crouc

Caraline felt her body being forcefully pulled back, where her mouth was also firmly sealed. She tried to scream but could do nothing to stop the enemy's actions."Shut up, you lowly woman," Diego whispered angrily as he pulled Caraline toward the helicopter. He chuckled as his hand was bitten off by her. "Take me away from this place."Caraline continued to struggle. She didn't want to go with Diego, let alone become the wife of that disgusting monster. For that reason, she had to get away as soon as possible."You'll only make yourself more miserable, you lowly woman!" Diego pulled Caraline with all his might. One of his men quickly helped him carry Caraline into the helicopter."Let's get this helicopter up and running!" Diego ordered.The helicopter began to leave the rooftop. Caraline was still struggling to break free. Tears fell down her cheeks again. Shortly after, the thick smoke began to dissipate, revealing several of Diego's men lying helplessly on the ground. Meanwhile, S

"Diego has taken Miss Caraline to the helicopter," a bodyguard said as he approached Thomas.Three helicopters quickly landed on the rooftop."Miss Caraline shouted that Diego ordered his men to blow up the building.""Calm down," Thomas replied, "I've already ordered Lucy to take care of that."Lucy arrived at the rooftop with five bodyguards, approaching Thomas. "I've taken care of the bombs installed throughout the building, sir. I can confirm that the building is safe now.""What about the guests and others?" asked Thomas."I've ordered all the guards to take them to the nearest hospital," Lucy explained."Alright, we need to prepare the troops to rescue Miss Caraline. Lucy, gather information on Diego and Miss Caraline's whereabouts right now. We need to act before it's too late," Thomas ordered."Wait a minute," Stevan said, "what does this mean, Thomas? How can Lucy call you 'Mister' and follow your orders? Are all these foreign bodyguards under your command? Who are you?"Stev

"Damn it! Who exactly is the person behind all this? Why are those damn cops turning on me?" Diego threw the bottle against the wall, sending its contents scattering across the floor. His face turned red as his jaw tightened. His eyes glared around the room. The man pulled his hair back and then screamed at the top of his lungs. Diego threw the items on the table and then kicked the objects near his feet. The man felt frustrated when he remembered what had happened that morning. His name and company had been destroyed in an instant in the public eye after that incident. He almost lost everything. Diego moved to the balcony as he regained control. He looked out at the blue sea and the orange sky. The greenery of the forest to the right and left of the building made him feel a little calm. It had been almost several hours since he had been in this place. In exactly one hour, he had to take Caraline out of the country. Diego frowned as the wound on his left shoulder returned. He had a

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, 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

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.
