Carol's misunderstanding about his identity shattered into pieces when she stepped into the luxury mansion that Damien 'owns'. Not a gift from his rich family or anything inherited like she did. She has a few Villas million dollars worth but this is just out of questions - Not when she thought he has his own business and he is an illegitimate son with not so strong support. Eunice is the only one who knows about the Crawley Family. But Carol who deals with rich clients has no idea about the Crawley family at all. Since all her concentration was on the companies that are quote- unquote were in the same level as her grandpa's company. She is just impressed with the true luxury of this mansion. As Carol drifts through the hallway, her fingertips brush the walls, feeling the textures beneath her skin. The space is quiet—comfortably so—and she lets herself relax. But just as she rounds a corner, she pauses, turning her head slightly. A familiar presence is near. When she turns full
She settles in-- In this large mansion. Although the question is why he needs such a big house all alone keeps bothering her. But it's obviously none of her business. Carol is considered a rich woman. As a business woman as well. Owning a few Villas, a multi-million bank balance and her grandparents' sole inheritance. However, she is quite interested in Damien, A man who could have gotten someone perfect just by showing this house. Today, after settling in, she sits on a chair, wooden and designed with perfection. She grabs her phone. After entering the room, one thing amazed her that - Damien actually filled the room with everything. Literally everything that she needs. Underwear to her hair clips. Sunscreen to shampoo and everything is the brand that she uses. He might ask Eunice or notice them in her house. She doesn't know. But it's true that he went on a rampage to bring everything. It makes her wonder more... More about the Man she married. Carol's life is on rout
After dropping Carol off with Damien, Eunice makes the familiar drive back to her apartment. By the time she gets home, the city lights are dim, and the quiet hum of her space feels like a relief. She collapses on the couch, her thoughts still swirling from the strange tension between Carol and Damien. The whole situation feels like it came out of nowhere, and part of her can’t believe how fast things have shifted in Carol’s life. The next morning, Eunice’s phone buzzes with a group message from her closest friends—Sarah, Grace, and Katie, the same three who had stood beside her as bridesmaids at Carol’s sudden wedding. Grace: “Brunch at Eunice’s place? We need to catch up.” Katie: “I’m in. I want the tea about Carol and her new husband!” Eunice smiles, knowing a meet-up is exactly what she needs. The girls arrive an hour later, filling her apartment with their usual chatter and laughter. They gather in the living room, spreading out comfortably with coffee and croissants. Euni
Carol glances at the clothes. Lots of them are really worth more than 100K. She presses her forehead. Damien shouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on clothes for her - Not even his serious wife who he will spend forever. She grabs a knee length dress. The floral sundress in blue catches her attention. As she grabs one, her attention swiftly moves on the floor. The footsteps are approaching her. She turns, knowing it can't be Damien. Her eyebrows knit when the vibration stops. Someone just entered her room, walked towards the closet room and stopped moving. She grabs the dress, a purse and a pearl necklace with earrings. As she opens the door with caution, a person turns and gives a professional smile, " I am Alex! The Butler of this house. The young Master told me to call you downstairs! Ma'am!" Carol tries to read his lips. But from time to time he covers his lips with nervousness. She frowns narrowly. There is no reason for him to cover his face. ** Well! Do you know s
Carol roams around the city, enjoying the new vibe in her life. She visited here when she was in high school for science projects. But she didn't have any memorable collections to feel attracted to come here again. But today, things look different. She has money that she didn't have when she came here the first time. She remembers bringing only five bucks extra to get a sandwich and a glass of water. Since she was so thoughtful of using her grandparents' money, she didn't waste their money at all. She will have her own money and will spend it on her own. But today she missed her grandparents all day long. They were the only people who gave everything to make her smile. But she can't. They'll never return to her life and will enjoy a meal like she always dreamed. Maybe in heaven, she will surely be with them. She glances at her phone. Some messages from Damien about her lunch and whereabouts, some messages from her friends in group chat and some notifications from her assist
When she says goodbye to William who will leave the city tonight, it's already past 4. Even at this moment, she doesn't have the slightest knowledge about her being late to return home. By the time, she starts walking, the wind starts blowing around, and the hint of rain soon appears before her eyes. She hurriedly grabs her phone, decides to send a message for Uber. However, when she opens her phone and glances at the concerned messages from Damien, a rush of regret and panic makes her feel worse. She has forgotten such an important thing. The desire to slap herself hits her mind but before she can do it, the downpour has showered her within a second. She hurriedly rushes towards the café, taking a quick shelter. ' Such a worst timing!' She grunts disappointedly and sends a message to Damien. She apologizes, informing him that she lost track of time and now she is stuck here. Damien reads the messages immediately, making her wonder if he has been waiting for her reply. She rubs he
" She is stressed. She needs to drink more rest and drink plenty of water. She will be fine!" The doctor instructs Damien who looks visibly anxious. James who arrived at the hospital soon after Damien informed him to come here, watches Damien's expression. He is quite shocked but doesn't mention it. Damien showing concern and expression to Carol is nothing new but the genuineness is concerning. He looks genuinely anxious about Carol's wellbeing. " She was stressed. As expected! She has been through a lot after all?" James says, taking the prescription from the doctor. Damien wheels himself out of the doctor's room and enters the room when Carol is resting. She is still sleeping and her arm is connected to an UV drop. " Are you concerned about her?" James asks, closing the door. " She cried!" Damien says, his voice is cold. " Do you think she cried for that bastard?" James takes a glance at Carol whose eyes are still wet. The eyelids are red after crying. " I won't
Next Morning, Grace pulls her car over in front of her small studio that she owns. She has been a successful artist since she was in college and so far she has sold a large amount of masterpieces of her arts and paintings. The keys jiggle in her hand as she takes it out of her purse. Ever since her ex-boyfriend dumped her out of nowhere, she has been depressed. So she hasn't visited for a while. As she grabs her key to unlock the door, her attention goes to the long casting shadow on the door. Her face turns pale, almost freaking out. Her ex-boyfriend is stalking her to give him some money for a while. So it's quite creepy. But soon a voice comes, making her turn her back, " Grace!!! It's Me, Troy!" Grace's frightened expression turns into a furious one as she looks at Troy. He looks awful. The dirty clothes, hair, large eye bags and unshaved face. " What are you doing here?" She looks defensive and on alert. " Sorry! Sorry for coming unannounced. I am just... I need h
