Caraline got out as the car pulled up in front of the lobby of a building. She took off her sunglasses and took in the building in front of her. This was her first time visiting this place.During the trip, Caraline searched for information about the location, but the internet couldn't give her the news she was expecting. This place did not appear in the search field. She was gripped with doubt, but she dared to put her trust in Diego."This is one of Universe Corporation's newest properties. It's not open to the public yet. However, Henry Hulbert was kind enough to allow me to be the first to visit this place," Diego said, suddenly appearing behind Caraline."Really?" Caraline let out a long breath, taking in the surroundings. This place was elegant, classic, and stunning at the same time. For some time, the woman didn't stop showing a look of admiration."You're not going to stand here forever, are you?" Deigo chuckled briefly. "Come on in, you'll see more amazing things in there."

Caraline quickly grabbed the bag on the dressing table. She left the room in a hurry. The annoyance was still clearly painted on her beautiful face. During her time under the shower, she couldn't stop sneering at Deric. However, she did not dare to wish him anything bad. It was strange, every time she wished for something bad to happen to him, she found herself the victim.Caraline passed through a rather long hallway. She was immediately greeted by the wind and cold air as her long legs stepped onto the balcony. The crashing waves could be heard from her current position. The view of the sea and its surroundings was truly a feast for the eyes."Do you like it here?" asked Diego, who appeared from behind Caraline."I hope you can judge for yourself," Caraline replied without looking at him. She moved towards the balcony railing."What happened to your arm?" Diego asked once he was next to Caraline. He gently stroked the small red line-shaped wound. "Are you okay?""I've never been bet

"It’s too bad, I don't believe in miracles." Caraline deliberately chose to sit in a chair that Diego did not pull out. She crossed her legs, smiling haughtily.Unexpectedly, Diego suddenly squatted in front of Caraline. He took a handkerchief from his pants pocket, cleaning Caraline's feet. "This will make you feel better.""What... are you doing?" asked Caraline in a panicked tone. The woman immediately restrained Diego's hand. Seeing the CEO of a famous automotive company acting like this toward her was making her uncomfortable. "I can do it myself.""Let me be in charge." Diego removed Caraline's fingers from his hand one by one. "I made you take off your shoes. So let me put them back on." "I... just don't want anyone to think anything of it." Caraline objected."It would be better if in my position I gave you a ring instead of putting your shoes on." Diego chuckled briefly, fitting the heels onto Caraline's smooth feet. Once he was done, he sat down in the chair he had pulled

Caraline and Diego were still at the dinner table. After the conversation about the Otopixel CEO's desire to meet Deric, there was no conversation for the next few minutes. Both of two were focused on enjoying the meal and the music."Did uou know Universe Corporation will be holding the biggest talent search event in the country in a few months? The grand winner of that event will be contracted by Art Media, one of their company for several years. As we all know, artists under their management go on to achieve great success," Diego said, breaking the silence, "I think it's a good opportunity for you to work with them. It will attract the attention of the whole country.""You're not bragging, are you?" asked Caraline, "I heard that the Universe Corporation doesn't like to divulge some of their agendas to the public. They prefer to surprise the public with unexpected news.""Henry Hulbert told me that himself," Diego said, adjusting his suit jacket. "I don't know, even though it was th

Caraline gripped the phone tightly. The ticking of the clock filled the sudden silence. However, Caraline's consciousness gradually returned. When it did, her eyes flew wide open."What did I say?!" Caraline screamed in a stifled voice. The cell phone she had been holding tightly was accidentally thrown. Fortunately, it landed on the rug under the bed.Caraline suddenly backed up until her body hit the wall. Unexpectedly, the cell phone repeated Deric's voice message.[Good night and thank you for today]Caraline covered both ears. She also stomped the floor to get Deric out of her mind, then disappeared into dust. "Stop it!"Caraline choked up when she heard the bell ring. She quickly checked outside on the small screen by the door. "Diego."Caraline quickly tapped her palms together, letting out a long breath. Once ready, she opened the door, putting on a straight face as if nothing had happened."What happened?" asked Diego, "did I hear you suddenly scream?"Caraline rotated her ey

Caraline glanced at Diego. She had forgotten that he had sharp ears. " I didn't like dogs as a child. When my late sister left me the dog, I couldn't resist, of course.""Oh, so it's kind of like getting used to love," Diego said, "it can't be easy."Caraline coughed. She refused Diego's drink. Used to love? Seriously, she thought."I didn't like my father as a child either," Diego said, looking up at the twilight sky. His hands were at his sides. He looked back at Caraline briefly, then returned his gaze to the sky.Diego continued, "He was a strict father, he didn't like to be argued with, and he didn't even hesitate to spank me if I made the slightest mistake. However, as I grew up and got to know the realities of life, I felt that my father was too soft on me. No matter right or wrong, the world will always hurt you if you stay in the same place. I miss my father now."Caraline crossed her legs, giving a small nod of approval."What about you, don't you come from the wealthy Watts

Caraline was stunned when a voice suddenly emerged from her mind. Her breathing suddenly accelerated several times over. Her body immediately collapsed onto the bed where her eyes widened to scan the surroundings. It was like the woman was forcibly thrown into the real world. It took several seconds for her consciousness to return."Oh my," Caraline whispered as she rubbed her face, massaging her forehead slowly. Her breathing was the dominant sound that filled the large room. "How did that memory come back?"Just as Caraline was about to get up from the bed, the sound of her cell phone startled her. Deric's name was immediately displayed on the screen. She quickly switched off the line without a second thought. "What the hell is Deric calling me for, he's so clueless!"Caraline sat in front of the dressing table. She had warned Helen and the maids not to inform Deric of her whereabouts. She wanted to be free to take a vacation and relax without the man's shadow. But, the paralyzed ma

Deric was at the edge of the lake. His face was still etched with a smile as he glanced at the small box he had prepared since yesterday. He had spent the whole day walking around and taking pictures with his camera. Deric no longer asked Helen or the maids about Caraline's whereabouts. He believed that Caraline would return to the house sooner or later. He suspected that Caraline was busy with work, or perhaps visiting somewhere to unwind. Instead of being annoyed, Deric felt calm when he didn't get an answer when he called Caraline. As long as the call was connected, he believed she was fine. "I'd better hurry," Deric said as he moved the wheelchair forward. The man circled the lake. The maple leaves seemed to fall as if welcoming his presence. He stopped somewhere, then took a bag from under the wheelchair. Deric began his work there. He moved from one side to the other as he attached some accessories to some tree trunks and also a wooden fence that led to the lake. Although his

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
