"Oh, my God!" screeched Caraline as she fell to the grass. She could feel the stinging in her leg."A wound like that won't make you give up, will it?" Deric moved the wheelchair forward slightly, bending down to pick up the scattered objects from the box."Don't ever touch my stuff!" Caraline brushed off Deric's hand roughly. The woman picked up the fallen items, quickly returning them to the box. She tried to stand up and unfortunately fell back down."You look like had a pretty rough day," Deric said, "You didn't come to the office with tree branches and leaves in your hair, did you?""Forget about it!" snapped Caraline as she gently massaged her foot. "It's all because of that damn snake! Next time I'm going to have an officer check the whole house.""What did you do there in the morning?" asked Deric, "If you want to exercise, I can accompany you. We can encourage each other."Caraline looked down to hide the blush that was about to burn her face. Images of Deric's activities on

Birds were seen chatting while flapping their wings in the sky. The leaves swayed a few times due to the greeting of the wind, often having to fly to follow the flock of birds. The sunlight was still warm as butterflies flit among the flowers.Inside the room, Caraline was still asleep. Her snoring sounded soft, the effect of yesterday's long journey and search. She was still wearing her clothes from last night, and her shoes were still on.Caraline's body writhed on the bed. Once fully awake, her eyes snapped open and she immediately positioned herself to sit. Her gaze instantly scanned the surroundings."What the... oh my!" shrieked Caraline suddenly."Miss CAraline, are you alright?" asked a maid outside Caraline's room. Three maids were eavesdropping there. They looked both worried and curious."Get back to work!" ordered Caraline. She walked over to the mirror and was shocked at her current appearance. Hair disheveled like a lion's mane, a dull face, and yesterday's clothes and s

"Are you leaving?" asked Deric, who was suddenly behind Caraline.Caraline suddenly stopped. She immediately closed her eyes to control her rapid breathing. With a glance, she saw that Deric was putting on his clothes. Unfortunately, she witnessed it until the man's broad chest was covered by the T-shirt. "I-I'm not going to answer stupid questions.""Thanks for the answer." Deric chuckled."Don't freak me out!" snapped Caraline"Are my smile and my voice creepy?" Deric smiled even though he knew Caraline wouldn't see it, as she had her back to him. "You often say that I scare you. Aside from my smile and laughing voice, what else about me scares you?""Everything about you is scary to me, even your life," Caraline replied."Are you sick?" Deric brought the wheelchair up to Caraline's level. "Your body is tense like a robot. Is it because of my laughing voice?""Did you just call me crazy?" Despite her annoyance, Caraline did not want to turn around. "Don't talk to me anymore!""I had

Caraline hurriedly covered her diary and photo album with the seat cushion. She shook her hair a few times to shake off the shock."You look like you've just seen a ghost." Diego chuckled."Can you give me a minute? I have something to prepare first," Caraline said."Okay." Diego nodded, leaving the room.When the door was closed, Caraline quickly picked up the books and put them in the bag on the table. She took a deep breath, then said, "You can come in.""What happened?" Diego walked into the room, taking his place on the couch. "Is something bothering you?""Of course there is." Caraline joined on the couch, facing Diego."What?" Diego leaned forward."You," Caraline said simply."Wow, that's a harsh word, but I like it." Diego laughed."Spicy flavors are necessary for a dish." Caraline glanced at her bag on the table. "I bet you didn't come alone.""You're right. As usual, the media kept following me around. After all, they make money from it, right?" "Can I help you, Mr. Diego?

Caraline decided to leave early. Thankfully, Helen was able to outwit the media so she left the office without a hitch. Diego had gone home after lunch had ended and thankfully he hadn't said anything strange to the media.Caraline let out a long breath as the car pulled into the driveway. She massaged her head gently, walking towards the house. Unintentionally, her eyes caught sight of Deric driving along the lakeside in the direction of his usual workout. What caught her attention, even more, was that Deric was contacting someone."That's none of my business. Why would I know Deric's business anyway?" Caraline rolled her eyes, but her body remained in place until Deric disappeared."Well, it's because I was curious and wanted to tell him about my activities tomorrow." Caraline decided to follow Deric. She walked with wide strides. However, she did not find him at his usual workout spot."Where did Deric go?" asked Caraline as she scanned the surroundings. The woman moved closer to t

God, why am I so stupid?" Caraline thought to herself.Caraline froze as she had just been doused in ice water. Her eyes glared with her mouth open. She felt like burying herself or throwing herself into the lake. How could she act so stupidly, especially in front of Deric?Caraline let out a long breath. Her gaze instantly scanned the surroundings. When she realized she had circled almost the entire lake by running, the woman massaged her forehead several times.Caraline wanted to scream until her throat was hoarse, or rage until the trees around her fell. However, she realized she didn't have the strength to do that. Just getting rid of Deric was starting to feel overwhelming. What should she do now?"Is your phone acting up?" Deric asked when he saw Caraline's silence and reverie. "I can try to fix it if you want."Instead of answering, Caraline chose to leave Deric. The woman walked slowly while still massaging her forehead. For now, she just wanted to rest and forget that she had

"Did you have dinner?" asked Deric as he turned the wheelchair slightly to face Caraline.Caraline's hands slowly lowered. Deric's smile made her whole body tense again. However, when she realized it was a mistake, her hands returned to their original place. "Don't change the subject!""I don't think it's good to talk under these circumstances. How about you come down so we can talk?""Don't ever order me around! Who do you think you are in this house? Stop fantasizing!""Alright, then I'll come to your room," Deric said, "how about it?""I'll kick you if you take one step closer to my room!""If I'm dead, I'll happily bang you all the time." Deric laughed.Even though you're still alive in your damn wheelchair, you're already running around in my thoughts and feelings, Caraline thought."Alright, good night." Deric turned the wheelchair around, driving towards the edge of the lake."Hey, what are you doing?" asked Caraline as she moved to the side of the balcony.Deric stopped the wh

Caraline woke up to the sound of the alarm. She scrambled out of bed, looking at the clock on the table. Seven o'clock in the morning. Light from outside the room seemed to be trapped in a gap in the curtains.Half an hour later, Caraline was at the dining table. She ate a quiet breakfast. She saw a maid walking towards the kitchen, disappearing when she passed the wall. "Be quiet, Caraline. Don't be foolish enough to follow her."Caraline focused on her meal. When she finished breakfast, the woman quickly made her way to the backyard. She bumped into Helen who had just come from the front."You're early, Helen," Caraline said."I slept very well last night," Helen replied.The two women walked toward the edge of the lake to await Deric's presence.Caraline looked back at Helen. "But, it looks like you stayed up late last night. I can see the bags under your eyes even though you tried to cover them with makeup. Can't wait for this day to come? Your appearance has also changed a bit."

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
