"There's nothing you can do but wail and cry," said Wilson who had just joined Catherine. The man occasionally frowned as his lips smiled.Deric quickly dragged his body out of the shackles of the wheelchair. When he was at the edge of the pool, he took off his suit and plunged into the pool without a second thought."It's more interesting than any dramas I've ever seen." Wilson beamed. "I can't let this pass me by.""Am I going to witness how true love exists?" said Catherine."There is no true love in this world, Catherine. You watch too many dramas."On the other side, Deric swam towards Caraline using the strength of his arms. The woman's voice was no longer audible, all his ears could catch was the sound of water splashing as it was torn by Caraline's two arms that were flailing around."Caraline," Deric said. He quickly grabbed her waist to keep her head above water.Deric tried to keep himself and Caraline floating in the water. Many pairs of eyes were watching, but not a singl

Caraline blinked as the invasion of sunlight tore into her consciousness. The woman quickly changed her position to a sitting position. She massaged her head gently as she surveyed her surroundings. This room looked familiar to her. "This is my room."Caraline quickly got off the bed and ran to the balcony. Her mouth was half open when she saw the backyard, the garden, and the sparkling light from the mouth of the lake. The sky was already covered in orange as the sun prepared to return to its resting place. "I'm really at home.""Oh my God, what happened?" Caraline grabbed her hair and ran back into the room. She checked her phone and was stunned when the screen showed the time and date. "It's the day after the meeting. What happened to me? How did I end up here?"Caraline's body sagged to the floor. Her hands tugged at the bed sheets with widened eyeballs. Her breathing suddenly increased twice as fast. She straightened up, grabbed her cell phone, and stepped out of the room. She de

Caraline hurried away without even looking at Deric. The first thing she had to do was to get away from him, then save her heart which was about to explode. Unfortunately, Deric's face and smile only imprisoned her further."I'm... completely... crazy," Caraline said as she tried to stabilize her breathing after half-running to her room. She wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand. "What... has Deric done to me?"Caraline closed her eyes as she squeezed the hem of her pajamas tightly. She threw herself up to sit on the edge of the bed, looking at the vanity mirror in front of her. Her cheeks still showed a blush.The sun was returning to its resting place. The sky had already begun to be shrouded in darkness and was decorated with the moon and a sprinkling of stars. The wind blew through the slightly open balcony door. Caraline walked over to close it. However, her foot stepped outside when she saw Deric driving by in a wheelchair.Caraline quickly crouched

Caraline's rage slowly slackened. The light of the fire and Deric were trapped in her beady eyes. On the other hand, her chest warmed after hearing those words. It was true, the Wattson family tended to make money and wealth the standard of judgment.Speaking of that, it instantly brought Caraline back to the reality of the life she had lived. Her father had to be evicted just because he chose to live with her mother who was a commoner. The bullying that happened to her was a result of that decision. To stand on equal footing with the rest of the Wattson family, Caraline had to pay for it all with hard work to get to where she was today."All I see is you try to get on their level," Deric said."Is that the wrong thing to do?" asked Caraline in a stern tone, "You never know what I've sacrificed to get where I am.""You're way ahead of them. So don't even try to stand beside them because you're walking backward.""What are you saying?" Caraline rolled her eyes."You're running on your

"No!" Caraline suddenly woke up with sweat pouring down her face. Her breathing was intermittent as if she had just run tens of kilometers. "I had a bad dream." Caraline scanned her surroundings. When she turned her head towards the window, sunlight was peeking through the curtains. It took her some time to get out of bed. Unfortunately, the horrific images of her dream were still lingering in her mind. At seven in the morning, Caraline made her way to the balcony. She enjoyed the cool breeze. "What should I do?" Caraline left the room, rushing down the stairs. She walked around the lake, hoping to get the heartbreaking memories out of her mind. Unfortunately, her desire to make peace with the situation was interrupted by her cell phone suddenly ringing. "Catherine," Caraline muttered with a frown on her face. [Wilson and I will visit you soon.] Caraline took a deep breath, letting it out with a thud of her foot. "What do these two want from me?" Caraline tied up her hair, conti

"Why should I care if you can walk again?" snapped Caraline, "Don't be so immersed in your wishful thinking.""Alright," Deric said, "I understand that you're just returning the favor.""I'll call you for a checkup on your condition." Caraline prepared to leave. "It's about my request," Deric said with his hand extended forward, "did you-""Get out of my mind!" Caraline left Deric alone. She entered the room breathing heavily. Not because of the act of running, but because her mind was constantly occupied by Deric. That man's image managed to mess with her mind and heart all day long, including right now. She was really tired."Deric has cursed me."Caraline sat on the side of the bed after setting her bag on the nightstand. She turned her head towards the balcony her breathing slowly stabilizing. "If that damn accident hadn't happened to him, I would have been ...."Caraline's mind flew to wild imagination. She didn't know how to react when it happened. At the same time, her heart w

"I'm going to take you somewhere," Diego said, tugging on Caraline's hand."Hey, what are you doing?" asked Caraline in a small voice. Her hand felt warm as she and Diego's fingers intertwined. However, she simply gave in as Diego led her to the edge of the lake. She smiled as the lights of the city and park caught the surface of the water."Come on," Diego whispered in Caraline's ear."What the" Caraline's words were cut short when her eyes met Diego's. Their gazes locked in a single spot, though not for long as Caraline then shifted her gaze to the other side."Your cheeks are red." Diego chuckled. Caraline immediately cupped her face with both hands. She felt her cheeks warm up. "The air is getting colder.""I think so," Diego said.Diego waved to someone. The Otopixel CEO handed a man a few dollars. "You'll enjoy this night more than any night you've ever had, Caraline."Caraline remained silent as Diego stepped into the canoe that had pulled up to the side of the lake. She stil

All the way home, Caraline couldn't help but smile. The curve of the crescent moon was firmly planted on her beautiful face. Her heart warmed, bursting like fireworks in the dark sky. Although she said nothing after she left, she had no regrets about following Diego's request.Diego had sent her a thank-you note. However, she had no intention of replying. It was punishment for suddenly asking her to take a photo.As soon as she arrived at the residence, Caraline got out of the car. Her eye caught sight of Deric at the edge of the lake. When she realized that he was approaching, she immediately quickened her pace toward the house."I'm not going to let that deformed man ruin my happiness tonight," Caraline said as she entered the house. When she arrived at her room, she immediately threw herself onto the bed.Caraline closed her eyes for a while, enjoying the silence. There was a hint of a smile that managed to escape her lips even though she tried to act casual. She grabbed her cell p

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
